Shippers are made liable to a tine of S'200 for shipping gunpowder, without notice to the master or clerk; and also made liable for damages that may happen b- ati' accident therefrom; and, in case of loss of life, are adjudged guilty of manslaughter. In passing, on the river, the descend

Oilier minute directions arc given, but the above form the principal enactments of tlie law, which appear to be drawn up with a determination to enforce rigorous penalties against any carelessness in the management of steam engines on the Mississippi, within the limits of the State of Louisiana.

Several eats, of the common species, with their progeny, their tribe. A short time ago some of them were seen in pursuit of a full grown sheep belonging to tlie flock of Mr. Martin Herr of that vicinity. They soon overtook it, dragged it to the ground, and before the person who wit nessed the scene could reach the spot they succeeded in so lacerating the poor animal s throat that it bled to oeath in li short time. It required considerable exertion (o driv e them oil. A dog, sub sequently sent in puruit of them, caught .,, ... ,.,,l.t l, ' .;,vw,.ir t ,..-wt..,i tl... d;t i,.. ensued, had not the owner come to his rescue. It is said they also pursued a small hoy some lime ago, .and followed him a considerable distance, as is now supposed with deadly intent."" The follo wing is an account of a singular and daring attack made on a !i;e bear in Bangor, (Maine.) by an individual who eventually succeeded in kiliing him: 'To men were felling trees together in the woods, when they were aroiiscd from their busy labor by the load barking of a dog not far distant when they shouldered their axes and repaired to the place from whence the barking was heard. The dog it appeared had followed to their den a bear and two cubs; assistance comhig to bis aid, the dog fearlessly attacked (he enemy, which drew him out into open ground and close light, causing one of the men to take to his heels for dear life. Not so the other he manfully stood his ground and boldly laid on the blows, first on llie right cheek of his adversary, then on the left, and .mon burying his axe to the poll in the fleshy parts of his body, and finally hewed away both hind legs which ended the contest. Put not till after they had had a bout or two at hugging and kissin::. An- Okigixal. Ou Friday of last week, a pedlar passed through our village calling ;it every house for the purpose of vending his wooden ware, of which he had various kinds of his own manufacture. He walked beside a machine of his own construction resemoiing a wagon, to which was .attached not his horse but his cow. We are informed that it is his custom when travelling in this manner, to milk Brindle when occasion requires, and to crumble bread (which he carries with his ware, of the consistency of hard tack) in the milk, and thus sustains the lives of himself and dog, "which bears him company ."-F?7. Post, Gill, Mass. A Quaker once hearing a person tell how much he felt for another who was suffering, and needed his assistance, daily observed lo him, "Friend, has thou fe.lt in thy pocket for him?" Tiie remains of an Indian were dug up lately near Newbern, N. C. When the grave was opened, the body appeared in a tolerable state of preservation, but on exposure to the air it crumbled immediately to dust. An arrow head and pipe were found in the grave. The number of spindles stopped in the lactones of Fall River, Mass. owing to the pressure of the times, is 8500, which have thrown out of employ more than 300 industrious persons.

EscArE of Prisoners. All the prisoners confined in the county jail of Newcastle, Del. effected their escape on Thursday night last. The Delaware Journal of Friday furnishes these particulars: The prisoners in the lower room with the aid of a file or saw, cut their way through the iron grating of the window, through which they could pass into the yard: the prisoners above cut a hole in the floor, large enough to enable them all to pass through into the room below, and join their comrades. They h::d previously cut open their mattrasscs, and discharging the contents, converted the tick

ing into a rope bidder, with the aid of w hich, one of the number, scaled the hiiih wall which encloses the yard, and goiii2t round to the gale, knocked o'F the lock, or outer fastening, and gave egress to the whole fraternity. Eleven of these minions of the moon arc said to hav e thus effected their enlargement .among whom their are three charged with robbing the William Penn, four committed on a charge cf burglary, one for horse stealing, one convicted of manslaughter, and Welsh, who had been convicted of murder, pardoned. and was kept in prison lo satisfy costs In our last paper we published a receipt for the Rheumatism, which was simply this: "Take a strip of gum clastic and tie it round the joints affected." This would not endanger life and was well worthy the experiment. So we say. It was tried upon a gentleman of this place, who had resorted to almost every other remedy, and to his surprise had the desired effect. Iu fact he was so much reduced by this disease as lo loose the use of his limbs, and in making the experiment he has not only been relieved of the pain and weakness so incident fo its nature, hut is finally gaining and en joying nearly the wonted strength of his system. We reccommend the remedy. Lebanon Republican. Memphis, March 27th. Counterfeiter Detected. A few days since an individual, who calls himself Basil Bunch, was suspected by some of our citizens of having Counterfeit money, atid was accordingly searched, when it was ascertained, that he had concealed about his body, Counterfeit Bank Notes to the amount of .$'700; consisting, principally of ,$'20 dollar bills upon the Branch Bank at Louisville, lie has been committed to the Sommerville Jail. Times end Adv. FlUST SETTLEMENT OF BOSTON. Boston, says the Dedham Advertiser, was anciently called Shazcmut, by the Indians, in allusion to the abundance and sweetness of its waters. Tiie first white settlers gave it tlie name of Trimouniain,the territory being chief ly composed of three hills, (now called Beacon,Copp's 5c Fort.) Its founders left England 2Gth April, 1630, and landed ;it Salem (then Naumkeg) in June following. Concluding that Salem was not the place for their capital, they soon removed to Trimountain, which they called Boston, in honor of their minister, Rev. John Cotton, who had been settled at Boston, in England. Tl. .. 1 . . I . . . . . me peninsula was at mat lime inhabited by only one white man, the Rev, William Blackstone. "This gentle man (says Prof. Knowles, in a note lo his Memoir of Roger Williams) came from England. He claimed the whole peninsula of Boston, because he was the first white man who slept therc.Hc hospitally invited Gov. Winthrop mo ins irienas to remove tlnther, on account of a fine spring of water there. tie soon left Boston, alleging that he i..rv v.' i j i . , . ... en lugianu oecause ne uia not like the Lord Bishops, but he could not join with the colonists, because he did not like the Lords Brethren. His rights as the first occupant were acknowl edged, and thirty pound were paid to him in 1634. He removed to a spot in the present town of Cumberland, (K. 1.) about six miles from Providence, and the river which flows near now bears his name. He lived to an old age, and occasionally preached at Providence and other places. Tradition says, that he sometimes secured the attention of his hearers by a skilful distribution of apples. His orchard flourished long after his death, and some of the trees are, it is said, yet standing." The York Pa. Harbinger of Saturday last says: "On Thursday last, a colored man, taken up as a runaway and continued in the jail of this place under an impression that if his master got him he would be sold to Georgia, made his way to llie cellar, seized an axe and very deliberately rhonnnd o(T his left hand at (he wrist; his reason for this savage act, was (hat he was determined not lo be a SLAVE any

longer.'

Total Abstinence. A lriend informed us yesterday morning of an cxj traordinary fact. Twenty seven days ago on Tuesday, a hen, silting upon her nest, accidentally covered by a load of hay. Yesterday on removing the last of the hay, Mistress Biddy was discovered, yet alive, although deformed not a little, by the superincumbent weight that had been pressing upon her. The hen could have nothing to eat or drink. She was somen hat benumbed and weak from fisting. Bui she is hopping about merrily this rooming. This case of total abstinence exceeds any that we know of, save that of a person once in the Baltimore penitentiary, who undertook to starve himself to death; but was frustrated in lii purpose by some benevolent gentlemen who were unwilling to let him oil' so. JYeio York Commercial.

Major Downing has been nominated for the Vice Presidency on the ticket with Col. David Crockett, but he refuses to serve. He says that if lie is nominated for the Presidency, lie will think of it, but he hopes to be dhcommunicatcd from the cabinet if he ever plays second fiddle to a man that grins bark off trees, and swallows wildcats and thunderbolts. A facetious canon of Windsor, taking his walk as usual, into the town, met one of his vicars at the castle gate, returning home rather elevated, by a glass too much of his neighbors port. "So, sir, whence come you?"' said (he canon. "Why," said the vicaiv "1 have been spinning it out with my friend." "Aye," returned the canon; "and now you are reeling it home, I see." Horrid Transaction. The N. II. Courier gives the following no .:, unl of a shocking affair which lately ta cm red in Hooksett, in that State: "As Miss Vaughan, a very respectable young woman, w ho keep- a milliners shop in the town of HookseK, was returning home from the residence of Samuel Head, Esq. on Sunday afternoon hist, about 4 o'clock w as v.avlaid by a deaf and dumb man, in the' canploy of Mr. Head, seized by the throat and dragged into the woods, and most inhumanly insulted and abu-ed: her clothes were rent to pieces, .and her comb broken to flitters, and her life but barely spared. The distance fiom Mr. Head's lo the village is about one mile, and the road passes through a wood near vvliich there is no !iou;o; it was in this by-place that the ruffian effected his infernal purpose, for w hh.h he now lies in Hopkinton jail, .and for vvhich, if for any crime, he deserves the scaffold and hemp. Although deaf and dumb, he is said to be a man of considerable information, much pains havii.f been taken to educate him.
