could assign do other reason for the act than that

an eld negro had advied him to kill his master.

He had been raised by Mr. Davis from a child, who was a respectable man and a humane mas

pine splits made around him, and in this ii tuition burnt alive.

Jlma'i Trial. The Doylestown court codimences its session an Monday next. Mina'tf trial will then take place. The Doylestown paper says it will not probably occupy more than three or four days, as it is expected a number f witnesses brought forward in the trial cf Mrs. Chapman, will not appear in this; but the material pottions of their testimony, as then given in, will be offered. Since last court, Mioa has been considerably indisposed, probably in a great measure attributable to the close confinement he hat necessarily had to undergo. Mica's counsel are Samuel Rush, Esq. of Philadelphia, E. T. M'Dowell , Esq. of Doylestown. and the prosecution will be conducted by T. Ross, At. Gen and Wm B. Reed, Esq. of Philadelphia.

thrown from the cars and instantly killed, at the

end of Inclined Plane, No. 3. The deceased was between 25 and 30 years of age, aud esteemed by all who knew him. A young man from Virginia, who had just arrived in Baltimore, imprudently went to the Circus a few nights ago, with his pocket book eon tain'og a sum of money and paper! of value, and in the course of an hour or perhaps lest, had his pocket picked of the book and coatenlg. He surely deserved his fate, for not taking better care of his cash. The Cincinnati Chronicle says that the actu al loss sustained in that city, by the late flood, does not exreed 50 thousand dollars. A stage with several passengers was precipited twenty feet from a bridge into a river, near camden, South Carolina, without causing any injury to person or property. The prospect of a food crop of peaches in S.

Carolina, it very flattering. Ditto in New Jersey.

.'J working parson. The Rev. Mr. Matlison,

foiruerly curate of Latterdale, buried his mother, married and buried his lather, christened his wife, and published his own banni of mar

riage in the church, and he christened and mar

ried all his four children, a son and three daugh lers .

The fortland Courier 6ays a hog was killed

on Tuesday last, raised by Col. Jeremiah Bailey of YVestbrook, w hich weighed after it was dressed nine hundred and fifty four pounds.

The Springfieled Journal says, a eow belong

ing to Mr. Thomas Glover, of VVilbraham, had a calf on the 7th inst. which, at tzi-o hours old, weighed one hundred mid thirty pounds. No question ofit. Judge Prioltau, of Charleston City Court, has decided that a tnule is not a horse; and that the city ordinance restraining horses from run

ning at large, does not authorize the arrest of

mules. Nothing like the law yet, for making

sensible distinctions.

Fine ladies who use excess of perfumes must think men like seals--most assailable at the

nose. John Smith a lad of 1G years, has been tried at the Buffalo Circuit court for highway robbe ry, found guilty, and sentenced to ten years im prisonment at Auburn. What a mournful out

It is said by the National Intelligencer, that the United States court cannot issue a. writ of habeas corpus except in such cases where the "party is imprisoned by authority proceeding

from some court, or omcen of the United States.

If this be correct, the Missionaries must remain until the next session of the Supreae court, which, says the same paper, may then proceed to a final decision, and award execution."

of the Pbilidelphia Inquirer states that a very

important alteration is makiDg in the uniform

has long been desirous of restoring the tdd revolutionary uniform the bide and bluff that military cosri.wie which is associated with the brave deeds, the gallant acts of the revolution.
