1t becomes our painful duty TO re-
cord the circumstance of a most
melancholy occurrence which took
place ut the house Of Henry HeiPle,
Ipnkeeper, about half mile east oil
this place, on Wednesday night 18th
lost. ILueben Long. q native of
Southampton township, in this eouu,
ty, q blacksmith by trade, had for
some time been i'll of a fever, at Mr..
Helpless house, where he had been
an iumate, About twelve o'clock
of that night. he complained tba.
nc was dry; MIR. Ii. attended 10 the
room, and poured him out some tea.
which stood on the stove in the room;
when NJ. FL, told him he had some
tea ready for him. he turned himself
round in the bed towards Mr.. H. and
smiled, and again resumed his former
posture in the bed, ME II standing
with bis back to the stove, aud facing
the bed-Long then in mcment
sprans from the bed, and struck Mr..
Heipls violent blow, Immediately
below his right breast. Mr., III. was
some moments recovering from the
shock, when he discovered that Long
was stsbbing himselswith penkpife,
which he did by piercing bimself
Just below thelpi, of ,hestomaeh. and
cutting from thence downwards right
& left from the same point until his
bowels came out--anoiher young
nam who then entered the room and
lad hold ofhim, received q stab, but
the thickness Of his clothes prevented
il, entering his body. Mr.. III. by
this time discovered from the flowing
of blood, that he himself was stab
bed in the breast.
Long expired 90 Friday last. and
was buried on Saturday near the
town. James Johnson. coroner of
the county held m inquest on the
body, who, after the examination, re-
turned verdict of'suicide, during al
CT Of insanity.
1t is yet doubtful whether Mr.
Heiple will recover.

TsIes from BHenos ayrcs. Tho
editors Of the Gazette are indebted TO
"a respectable house, for the perusal
of letters per the brig Elizabeth, con.
taining the subsequent particulars.
A letter from Buenss Ayres,of the
lSsth Of January, states:
"Tbs Expedition destined against
Chill, left Mendoza on the 18th in-
slant, under the command Of Gen.
San Martin; the force under him, con.
sista Of about $500 regulars,sud 5000
militia, and the people here seem
confident that he will succeed"
Another letter OF the Same date
observes " There is every chance.
that the Portuguese will obtain pos
session of the Banda Oriental. The
Portuguese will SO be in quiet pos.
session OF Monte Viedo"
In addition to the above, Captain
Douglas who sailed on the third Of
Feb. informs, that Monte Viedo had
surrendered to the Portuguese with.
cut fighting.
A Buffoon at the court OF Francis
II, complained 10 the King. that q

for uttering some jokes about him
If he does said Francis /" he shall

AGREEABLE PROSPECTS.
1t is highly gratifying to observe the
increasing spirit Of enterprise among the
people in various parts OF the country, as
Il respects roads, canal, improved me.
hods OF transportation by land, and III
regard to domestic manufactures, etc.
The conviction appears to be at last pre-
vailipg, that the day of universal specu-
Iation, Of mushroom fortunes, and OF lux
lurioas liring, is over for the present /;
lad that the time has arrived when we
aust commence rigid scrutiny into our
accounts and our resources when we
must set our dsranged affairs in order,
aud begin business on new scale, and
i'm new channel. The people seem ia
lse looking about them in good earnest, to
discover where their tras and permanent
interest lies; and, with the spirit OF re.
search which now animstes them, they
cannot long remain isuona@ Of their true
policy; aud il is most promising cir
cumstance, that while INDUSTRY IS get
