Thccmpctor was so indignant, on learning these particulars, that he abolished the privilege of divorce. In thc course of thc fcllowing vcar, thc number or roarriages ir.

It has been remarked, with justice, of the steam en gine, in thc last number of the Quarterly AYr:V:v, that nothing is too great, nothing too-small for tin-, wonderful machine, which, like thc proboscis of an elephant, can tear up an oak and pick up a pin; can forge, with equal case, the heaviest anchor, ami puncn me eye oi tnc finest needle; can twist thc largest cable, draw out a fibre as delicate ar, the gossa"tner, and drag a first-rate man of war over thc ocean; traversing the seas ngainst winds and tides, and thus bring nations nearer to each other, by quickening their intercourse, and rendering it more fixed and certain.

A man by the name of Carter, w ho came up here from Currituck Beach, informs us that about thc last of April, he discovered thc dead body of a man which had drifted ashore on New I r ilc t Poittt, vd'hout a head! He states that he was a well dressed man. having on a fine white linen or cotton shirt, with a flannel shirt underneath; a pair of fashionable blue cloth pantaloons, a pair of long red flannel drawers, white cotton socks, and a pair of fashionable right and left shoes. IJc could discover no mark on any of his clothes, that would lead to his name; he had on neither coat. waistcoat, nor cravat.
