LAWRENCE BURGH. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 182J. CO" This Eveniog at 4 o'clock a corporation election will be held at the court house, (o elect n president and one member of Ihe select council. Flour, A Pennsylvania paper calcuJ'ttes that 1 million more barrels of flour will be made in the United Stales this season than were last. The accounts we have seen published of the wheat crop? in different parts of the Union, go full) to confirm the calculation. Oar latest prices current from Baltimore and Philadelphia, quote flour at 5. to 5 37 1-2. t Kentucky. The delegation from this state in the next Congress, will be gamp -as last, with four exception?. R. M. JohDscn takes the place of Robert Mr.-fto Ilatton; John Kincaid that of Thomas P.Moore; N. D. Coleman that of John Chambers; and N. Gaither or Mr. Beatty (doubtful which) that of R. A. Buckner. Fire at Zanesville Ohio. The large grist and saw mills, owned by Mes-r?. J. and H. Granger, adjoining Zanesville, were entirely destroyed by fire on the night of the 10th inst. The property was verv valuable, and ensured to 10,000. The origin of the f:re was attributed to accident. A Brilliant Frolic. About the middle of July last, a parsel of drunken rascals, "inder high steam," set fire to Cantonment Towson, Arkansas territory, and burnt the works to ashes. The United Slates' troops had only a few days previously been removed from that place to Cantonment -Jeseup. Remark Uncle Sanrhas a great many bad boys on his farm, who will require a large portion of Hickory to teach them good manuere. Difficulty. Judge Smith, late asso ciate editor of the Indianapolis Gazette, has issued proposals for publishing anew paper at the seat of government, entitled "The Jacksonian." Previous to the late election for president, the judge was accounted a warm friend to Mr. Adamsj the annunciation of his intention to publish a paper in favor of the present administration has, therefore,caused a good deal of stir, and some of the Jackson jrapers have refused to admit him into the ranks. To help the judge at a dead lift, we would respectfully motion that he be admitted on probation; and thatl six months good conduct entitle him to full membership. In politics as in religion, repentance ought to bring with it forgiveness. Old age. The Butler Pa. Repository records the death of Mrs. Jane L?mmon,ofihat coun!y,at the advanced age of 105 years. More Fishing. The Natchcs papers mention the taking of a young shark, by n fisherman, in the vicinity of that city. It measured 20 inches. The appearance of his majesty, so far from his accustomed haunts, created a great deal of speculation among the peace-loving citizens of Natchez. Some thought it portentious of "war, pestilence and fa mine others, supposing him a native of Cape Cod, attributed it to an annate curiosity to travel; and having heard of the great alligator fishery on the Mississippi, had come up to see the 6port. For ourselves, we have beenjhinkiDg whether the prospect of good eating, did not influence him in venturing so far into cizil society. A dinner of real Kentuc' "half horse and alligator ," or even "snap ping turtle," is not to be found every day in the "vasty deep." And we marvel much that the progenitors of his sharkship, had not the sagacity to find a place so well stored with favorite living, as is in (he Mississippi near Natchez, unless report be a great liar. Bat such is the improvement of (he age.

Russian Victory, Under our foreign head will be seen some very important intelligence from Europe. The war between Russia and TuVkey waxes warmer and warmer, and is carried on with most deadly hate. ' The Russians seem to be gaining the ascendency. In a late engagement near Choumla, the Turks

were defeated, and one of their best appointed armies slain, taken prisoners, and dispersed. Appointments by the President. JsraeTT. Canhy, to be Register of the Land Office at Crawfordsville. Gen. Samuel Milroy, to be Receiver of Public Monies at Crawfordsville. We understand that Ross Smiley, esq. refuses to accept the appointment of Register in the Land Oflice at Jeffersonville. "Do not steals A Mr. Ellas, of Bath N. Y. gives the following hint to some of his neighbors through the Farmers' Advocate: "If you don't stop taking wood from my garden fence, you will see trouble.. You will find plenty of it in the jail yard; but to tear down my fence, and let catUe into my cabbngepatch, is a little more than 1 am willing Put UP uith- lf you want wood and cannot buy, let me know it, and I will send you a load." We see plainly that Mr. Ellas don't understand the mode of overcoming his it.lghbor foibles. Instead of threatening punishment, he skould have fortified his garden with a good pile of wood, cut :ind Elit to all lengths and sizes, and then gave notice that when a man sent his wile, a servant would help her home with a load. The cabbage then would have been safe. Lawrenceburgh Jlarket.

S. Telegraph, August 14. CASE OF TOBIAS WATKINS. At 12 o'clock to day, judge Cranch pronounced the opinion of the court on ihe motion of Mr. Coxe, for a new trial, and in arrest of judgment in the case ol Dr. Watkins. Alter fully reviewing the vaiious objections raised against the for mer decisions of Ihe court, with respect to the alleged informality of the indictments the testimony adduced in sup port of those indictments the verdict of thejury and the inconsistency, generally, as urged) cf the charges and the evidence he concluded by stating that the court was of opinion, that the judgment ought not to be arrested, nor a new trial granted in either of the cases. Mr. Swann then observed, that it was his duty to request the judgment of the court. Ilr. Coxe stated, that he had nothing further to s y. Dr. Watkins being brought into court sentence was passed upon him in the three caeesas follows: On the :rst indictment a fine of 750, and three months imprisonment. On the second a fine of 300 and an imprisonment for the samt; lime. On the third a fine of 2,000, and a like imprisonment for three months. The sentence, altogether, it will be perceived, is a fine ol three thousand and fifty dollars, and nine months imprisonment from this date, the 14th day of August. The court then adjourned until next term. From the Boston Commercial Gazette. Mr. Greenleaf, the new Postmaster at Portsmouth, N. H. lately addressed a letter to the Postmaster General, on the subject of refunding overcharged postages. Mr. G. 6tated that it had been thr practice for fifteen years or more, in the Portsmouth post office, in case of any letter being represented as overrated, to take the word of the person to whom such letter was directed as evidence of the overcharge, and to refund the extra postage accordingly. In reply to the; letter of Mr. Greenleaf, whoaeked for "positive instructions" upon the subject, the Postmaster general wrote as follows: General Post Office Department, 28th Julj, 18'9. S Sir: Your letter of the 23d instant, is received. The practice of refunding postage on the representation of the per son receiving the letter was never adIP !j mitted by the Depaitment, and it v?a never known at the Department till recently that it had any where obtained. Its operation is unequal, and not reciprocal. It is unequal: for no Postmaster would receive the representation of persons of doubtful veracity, or of strangers; so that the more indigent, being mere obscure, would seldom enjoy its benefits.

It is not reciprocal: because- letters un derrated are never returned for correc

lion ; so that corrections are always made in favor of the individual, but never in favour of the Department and there are more letters underrated than over rated. The Cashier in one of the B inks in this place lately requested that the postage might be corrected on any letter found to be overcharged. The Posi Master requested him whenever he be lieved a letter to be overcharged, to send it unbroken to be opened at the Post Office, and it would then be corrected; and it gives no more trouble to send the letter to the office before it is broken than afterwards. He accordingly sent a letter the next day, marked double, to be opened at the othce; but on opening it, it was found to contain two bank notes, which increased the postage instead of diminishing it. Such would be result in more than half the cases, if persons would send their letters unopened for coriection. The aggregate amount of postage paid by any merchant or monied institution, is never more than tht aggregate amount of lawful postage. This however, oi ly proves that the law is goodj but whether good or bad, it would be a dangerous innovation upoi the principle of our institutions, to admit the authority of an executive c fiicer to set aside the law and substitute his owi. aibitrarv rule. I much regret that any Post Master has ever ventured upon the ground ; and shall expect it to be abandoned by ever) , person who retains a place in this department. The law on this point, and on every point, is peremptory, and musl be strictly obeyed. I am very respectfully, your obd't serv't, W.T.BARRY. Abner Greenleaf, Esq. Colombia. By the brie Merdina, from Carthagena, anived at New York, Bogota papers of the 21st, and 23th June, have been received. From thee we learn that on the 18th May, the Peruvian frigate Prueba, accidentally took fire in the harbor of GuyaquiJ, and was destroyed, with rnott of the crew. By the explosion of the mngz'zinp, several vesstl?, l)ing near, were injured, and some of the crews killed. The whole number of lives lost, is said to have been about 1000. The despatches received at BoC ta, state that this occurrence leaves Guayaquil undefended by geo9and gives to Colombia the superiority of naval force in the Pacific. Murder. On Saturday last, the body of Jvhn Daxi?, formerly Sheriff of ibis county, was found in the woods, a few mile? from hid residence, with such marks of violence upon it, as to admit of no doubt of his bavin; btvn murdered. On Sunday night, Elijah Kimborovgh, of iennessee, was committed tothej?til ol this place, on a charge of having peipetrated the deed. Raleigh, JV. C. Star. We regret to learn, says the Raleigh Register, that the Yellow Fever ha made its appearance in Charleston. Three cases are mentioned in private letters, though no public annunciation of the tact has been made. St. Louis, August 1. AH the information received from the western counties, concurs lo prove, that the late disturbance with the Indif-.ns, waa an accidental affair, the result of momentary circumstances, and not the premeditated commencenffent of hostilities'. Beacon. A good retort. A farmer in Connecti cut lately cut down an excellent youngapple orchard of choice fruit. Wis wile being much displeased at it, asked the reason, when tie tola tier lhtt apples made whiskey the most abominable of all evils, and he feared his orchard would some day be converted to that use. Soon after, the old gentleman on returning home from work, found two large stacks of rye, and a large crib fullj of corn burnt to ashes. On enquiring of his wife how it happened, she said when' there was no apples, all the whiskey would be made out of rye and corn, and therefore she thought it best to destroy the evil entirely. Gettysburg, August 12. We mentioned last week, that a building was on fire during the storm of Mon day night, to the northwest of the town. It proved to be the barn of Mr. Kahn, near Mummasburg, which had been struck by lightning. All his crop was destroyed with the barn During the same storm, a hay stack on the farm of capt. Wm. M'Curdy, of Cumberland township, was struck by lightning and consumed. By great exertion, its communication with others wa6 prevented. A fine steer belonging to Jacob Cassat, esq. in Straban township, was killed instantaneously by the lightning in the open field; and a very valuable mare, belonging to Mr. Weidner, in Huntingdon township, was struck dead, when ir. the act of leaping over a fence. There could have been no struggle for "she was found with her fore feet over the fence. Sentinel,

WHEREAS roy wife Catalini, ihae, without anv inst cause or provocation, left mv bed and board, I do hereby forewarn any person from harboring or trusting her on roy account. Wm. TELL HARRIS. Aurora, July 16, 1829. 31 THIS is to assure the Public, that theold hacknied phrase in the foregoing advertisement is false; as 1 have borne with the unjust provocations of W- T. Harris until I could do so no longer. The very kind caution, from "trusting or harboring" me on fdt en dit, he well knew to have been needless, as 1 never hsd credit wi'h any merchant on his account, without being first provided with a vtrihen order, signed by himself, to that effect ; and W. T. Harris is too -well known, for me tuex pect any "harboring" upon the strength of his liberality,- therefore the only motive which led him to inaert the ahove, is plainly no other than a desire to wound, more deeply, my already much njured feelings. CATAL1NA HARRIS. N. B. 1 hope the public will believe me when I say, that nothing would have induced me to have intruded upon them this irtt anu last time, but a thorough conviction that it was a duty I owed to my own character, as well as that of tbe family from hich I derived roy birth Aurora, 7th August, 1829.
