It is added in the same paper, that the cultivation of tobacco was rapidly extending, and asserted that the growing of it, to rival the products of Maryland and Virginia, will become general through that vast region of country. This will render the cultivation a bad business for our planters; but "its all fair." The foundation stone of the first lock of the Ohio canal, was laid, in ample masonic form, in the presence of a very large number of spectators, on the 10th ult.

An interesting trial is given in the Endish papers for as-ault and battery on an Editor. Mr. Judge, flditor of the Cheltenham Chronicle, having published some pretty free remarks on Col. Berkely, 'protector' of the celebrated Miss. Foote, the gallant Colonel, accompanied bv lord S. Lenox, and R. C. Hammond, Esq. anu provided the heaviest horsewhip thev could find at a saddler's shop, went to the house of the editor, found him in his parlour, closed the door upon him, beat, cut, bruised, and mangled him for a considerable length of time, and retired exulting in their brutality. Mr. Judge was confined to his bed three weeks in a dangerous state, and one of his eyes has not yet recovered its sight, from a stroke of the lash. lie Is a wak. thin man, nnJ wore spectacles and a wig, which was pulled oirbv one ofthc noble ruflians. He was left coved with gore, and the floor and wall were spattered with the blood of the victim. Counsellor Philips conducted the prosocution.and did not spare the defendants in his remarks. The jury returned a verdict of five hundred pounds damages. .The affair originated in an account of the 'Berklv Hunt ball, given in the Chronicle.

We hear from St. Johns, NB. that the fires are still raging in the woods at Fredericktown, eighty-two buildings were consumed, and property to the amount of thirty-two thousand five hundred and twenty-two pounds destroyed; dreadful fires are still raging in the forests in the vicinity of that town, and in the settlements of New Ireland, New Jerusalem and in the rear of Gagetown; the same devouring element is spreading its ravages in Mi ramichi thirty houses are said to have been destroyed at the latter place. The St. Lawrence Gazette of the 11th inst. states that the woods on the low grounds on the north side of the St. Lawrence are swept by the same consuming element for the distance of twenty miles and it was still extending its ravages. Does the existence of this awful calamity account for the late vapours that have obscure! nnr ;i t mns-

An Eagle caught. An eagle, measuring seven feet from one extremity of the wing to the other, was lately taken in Cornish, Vt. by Jonathan Chase. The

j eagle had previously killed a lamb belonging to Mr. Chase, and after satiating his rapacious appetite for the time being, left the carcase upon the field. To ascertain j the author of the mischief, a trap was set j baited with the remains of the lamb, the i atrial plunderer returned to his prey, was caught in the trap by the legs, and held in ; safety.

On Wednesday last, a son of Mr. Oliver iBcbee of Winhall, aged fJ years, went to the woods not far trom his father's resi

dence, accompanied only by a small dog, where he discovered a young Cub, which by the assistance of his "dog, was soon driven on to a tree. The boy immediately ascended the tree, and w hen arrived near the object of his pursuit, a scene presented at which a stouter heart might have failed The old bear made her appearance at the foot of the tree, at which the dog retreated, but as the bear attempted to ascend the tree the dog returned, renewed

his courage, seized her bv the nosteriors

and brought her hack upon the ground;! I the bear turned and made several unsuc

NEW AMERICAN SPELLING BOOU. As Mr. Rutek'8 Spelling Bo..k, adapted to Walker's prmciplea of English orthography and pronunciation, is now esteemed superior t - any other in the Western Country, or perhaps in the United States, an excellent set of St reoty pe plates has heen procured tor the printing of it, and its future editions will thereforebe uniform as well as correct. Among the recommendations already 'given to this work, the following may besufficieut to lay before the public. J Fro.n the Rev. Horace Holley, L. L. D President, of 1 ransylvariian University. (Directed to the author.) Dear Sir, I have examined your "New American Spelling- Book," and find it worthy of a cordial recommendation to the public,for the use of families and schools. I hope you will meet with success in its distribution, anil thai the favorable opiniou which it deserves, will become general. HORACE HOLLEY. From the Rev. Elijah Slack, A. M. President of Cincinnati college, and from Rev Joshua L. u ilson, D. D. (to the author.) Dear Sir, Approving the principles and appreciating the merits of your New American Spelling Book," we cheerfully recommend it to the friends of learning; and we entertain a hope that it will prevent much erroneous teaching, and save mai y pupils from the labour and regret of unlearning their juvenile studies when they ought to be tasting the pleasures of the higher branches of education. J. L. WILSON, . .. ELIJ AH SLACK. As the object and advantages of this useful work, are clearly expressed in the preface, we shall here publish it, hoping it will be extensively read bv the teachers of youth. PREFACE. In most of the universities and colleges in the U

nited States, as well as England, Walker is made the standard of Englishrthography and pronunciation. His system is ewry day becoming more popular, and it is now generally admitted that it will contineto prevail. All dictionaries of the English language, except those of Walker and Johnst.n, are by almost universal consent, laid aide, and that of Johnson, in its late editions, has Walker's plan of pronunciation incorporated with it. As we have now a popular and permanent standard of our language, all spelling books ami elementary works of the kind, ought to be adapted to its principles. So far as thi fails to be effected,schools will be erroneously taught, and manv who wih to be correct scholars, will find much time and labour necessary to repair the defects of their early education. This is a misfortune invariably attending the use of Webster and several other elementary works now extant Thousands whose first years of stuiy w.-re spent principally in learning to read and w rite their native language, have found with regret, when entering upon higher branches of educa tion, that they had many things to unlearn, and so me of their former studies to repeat. Others, less careful about eorrectn ess, though perhans in many respects good scholars are continually iu the practice of bad spelling nod bad pronunciation. To furnish the rising generation" of our country with the means of avoiding these disadvantages and to render the rudiments of a complete education

more eny , me .resent work is offered to the public, t In preparing it, the author has studiously endeavorjed to avoid whatever is unnecessary, and fill its pa

ges win: maiier suitable lor the improvement of V"ung mind. Mo-tof the words in the spelling lessons with the exception of proper names f ae been take., from Walker's Critical Pronouncing D rtionary, with tnrt a'tention to th' ir orthogra:U, accentuation, and the oound of the vowels The lessons in reading have been rnr full j ,,i

arc such as mil no! only facilitate the progress of I the pu. ils, hut excite them to study, and give Una. j a taste for the science. The table? of Scripture i proper names, alphabetically arranged, and ac

cented according to Walker's Key, will afford an important advantage not to be f.nnd m nnv other work of the kind now in ue. Should H i book answer the purposes contemplated, by uaki g the path of the learner more easy, and preparing .mg; minds for a correct and complete education, it . expected that the friends and patrons of leaning will give it their support.
