SPRING.

The grateful influences which follow
the train of this delightful season, and

of letter to the Editor, from a frieu.
now resident in Philadelphia.
[R. l. Am.
The spring is now opening in it's beauty
after tedious series of cold and disagree
able storms. The trees are putting forth
their leaves, the feathered choirs cQm1
mencing their concert of melody, and I'd
flowers starting forth, as if touched blythe
spear Of Ithuriei, & expanding their leave,
4 blossoms to the dew and the SUNSHINE
: The contrast presented by this scene to
that which all nature afforded but few
weeks since, is miniature representstioi
of that great exertion of divine energyn

brooded over the elements, and called up
world of light, and life, and beauty, from
darkness and chaos.
There is something peculiarly delight
full in the vigorous impulse which is in

our hearts, and the vital current course

We are driven back to our closets and
firesides, and the blast which hows with

with the world around us. But whg
spring returns, and the glad voice OF Is
ture calls all her children to participateH
her Joy, our souls rush forth to expatlsl
among the green fields, the bright bib
and the rushing waters, as instinctiveyS
as joyfully as the bird which has just Is
capped confinement.
The heart cannot remain insenslble q

MURDER.
A Seneca Indian, by the name of Tommy
Jenny, was committed to Jail on Saturday
last. Tor the murder OF squaw, about three
miles from this place 1t appeared on the
examination, that the prisoner suspected the
deceased of being witch, and of having
occasioned the death OF one of bis near rcIa.
tives, who has lately died. by some dlaboli-
cal practices M which the lniians believe.
After consulting with some other Indians on
the measure, he went 20 the deceased. AMI
induced her to go with him into field near
where she resided, and there, after treating
her with wbiskey, deliberately cut her throat.
A coroner's inquest was called, which found
q verdict OF wilful murder.
Killing persons suspected of witcbcratt,
is a practice by no means UNCOMMON, even
among the Indians residing in the neighbor-
hood of white settlements. The efforts
which have been made to prevent it have
been Intellectual, although this, we believe,
is the first case where The civil authority has
interposed for the punishment of the ofen-
der. The superstitious belief in soreery
which is common to all savsges, and is often
confirmed by the confessions of the deluded
vretches who are accused of its practice is
so strongly fixed in the minds OF the Indians
that no Argument or reasoning seems sufh-
c;.nt to eradicate it. The prisoner twho is
one Of IN. Indians exhibited in England a.
bout two years ago. possessed more than a
CANNON share of intelligence, but appears
no, to be conscious OF having done any thing
criminal or improper in the murder he has
