HIM Petrern was brought up on the

ing curious circumstances :-On Saturday
evening, May was sent for to the house of
Mrs. Endimore, in Amicable-piace, Kent
st eet, and was Informed Mrs. Endimore's
infant, about weeks old, had been stolen,
and an attempt made to murder the nurse /:
who, on being questioned said, she was sit

the door was opened, and man dressed as
a sailor rushed in, seized her by the throat,
and cut it In three places she fell down
insensble, and on her recovery the child
was gone. Mrs. Ehdimore stated, that she
was alarmed by the noise the nurse made
IN falling, and went down stairs to see what
was the matter, when she found her lying
on the floor insensible, and missed her in
fant. These circumstances appeared alto
gether so improbable, that the officers sus-
piclons were excited, and he proceeded to
examine the wound in the woman's throat
more closely, when it appeared to be no
thing more than scratch with a pin or nee
die. This opinion was confirmed by find
ing large needle sticking in her dress,
which has still blood remaining upon it,.
Mrs. Nurse had also the appearance of be.
ing far advanced in state of pregnancy /;
but fr m what the officer had already seen.
his suspicious led him to suspect the truth
OF tins fact. He then desired some of the
females who were present to examine her,
when 1T was soon discovered that the pro-
tuberance was occasioned by false stc-
mach formed by pasteboard case we'll

induced the officer to take her into custo-

when respectable woman, who lives in the
neighborhood, and who has slight know

A SEMI-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
TO BE ENTITLED
TIL Il ECH o..
Prospectus.

FROM the advantages of its physical situation
from the native fertility, improved condition,
and increasing wealth of the crcumjacent coun-
try and particularly, from the industry, enterprise
and liberality of the people of the Town, and its
environs, Lynchburg derives advantages more
than adequate to the patronage and support OF
semi.weekly paper.
This consideration impels us to undertake such
paper. 9
This paper is intended to be chiefly prompt
and convenient vehicle of domestic and foreign
News. At the same time, it will be open to Sci
entiic, moral, agricultural and political essays
We are Republicans-but on questions Of general
importance, we win cheerfully admit the essays
of those who may differ from us in opinion, pro-
vided those essays lie marked with liberality
of ideas, and moderation of temper. Our main
object Will uniformly be, TO collect to focus,
those rays political light which may be scatter
ed in the intellectual atmosphere around us-ando
by that means, to shed the efTulgence of truth
on every face, side and aspect Of such topics OF
discussion as may excite deep and lively interest.
We are young-bent on enterprise possessed
of industry of perseverance. We have
both been brought up to the printing businesses
and We are not utter strangers to the due manage
ment, and proper conduct of a newspaper. Our
efforts will be unremitted-and, We trust, sue
cessful. They will be constantly and earnestly
directed to- the collection of the most recent in
of borrowed materials-in short, to the REGULAR.
ty, symmetry, and elegance ola whole, combin,
ing, at the same time. variety ofsubjects and uni-
ty ofplan.
In promising thus much, we do not overstepi
we hope, the modesty of a Prospectus We ara
confident that disappointment will not tread up
on the heels ofpromise. We have well consider
ed what we are able to perform-and we feel the
ardor and energies of individuals ambitious Of
success--and whose success chiefly depends on
the extent of their exertions.
Our hopes become the more saguine, when We
reject on the characteristic liberaty of those per-
sons whose patronage we solicit. They are, we
well know, disposed to encourage commendable
eiforts-to aid modest industry-and to remune.
rate useful labors.
With these motives-these means-these hopes
and this prospect, we will commence the publ
cation OF the ECHO about the 18th of March
next.

Serene as summer evenings close
When not a cloud obscures the sky.
Pure as the pearly drops ofheav'n,

Sweet as the balmy breath of ey'n,
All, sweeter than the breath of May.
Gentle and calm az summer seas,
When wea'y winds their surface sweep,
When fsnn'd so gently by the breeze
That every wave seems lost in sleep.
Fair as tie blushing god of day,
When IN the east bis face we view
When shedding forth his mldest ray
Der fields and flowers impearPd with dew.

And give It breath as well as hue,
