Curious Case Yesterday morning
a man by the name of Thomas Langwell.
who resided about three miles from this
city, on the Washington road, in fit of
passion, set fire to his house, and 1t was
burnt ITO thes ground. His poor and
unfortunate son, who is before us while
we write this article. and who is about
Is years ofage. was picked up by the
generous passengers in the Washington
stage which happened to pass by during
the burning of the house. This boy in
forms us, that his father is in the habit of
intoxicatlon, and that he beat his wife
just before he set the house on fire
Particulars of similar purport we're
reported at the stage office by the pas
sengers, and our worthy and active po-
lice officer, Mr.. Noah Fowler, and Just
passing, he heard the tale, and in few
moments afterwards he had secured the
unfeeling culprit, who it was known had
made his way to this city & whom he lod.
ged safely in our Jail The son of this
offender is now in this city and is per-
fectly destitute; it is hoped the charita-
bic and humane will contribute to the
relief OF this unfortunate boy & his still
more unfortunate mother and her four
! children,

IN the case now under consideration
no such clashing Of interests is antici

We invite the attention of our readers
to the resolutions introduced into the
legislature by Mr.. John P. Kennedy, Of
Baltimore, (which will be found in our
preceding columns, relative to a canal
communication between that city and
the Potomac. They evince enlightened
legislation, and do much honor to their
author, who, in an active devotion to
the interests of his constituents, can still
extend his views to the interest of the
whole state. The measure they embrace
has long since been agitated here. and
urged upon the attention of Baltimore
and the Legislature by citizens of this
county-but their efforts were treated
with unbecoming neglect, if not con-
tempt. Mr.. Kennedy discerns with the
eye Of a statesman, the great commercial
Importance of the communication, and
possesses talents to give to it the neces-
sary and proper support. His efforts
are entitled to the unqualified approba
ton of the peopleof Frederick county,
ard we hope they will properly appre-
ciate their value. We anticipate the
pleasure of the next week announcing
their adoption by the Legislature

TAKING SIDES.

The Raleigh IN. c. Register, a week
or two since, announced IFS preference for
Mr.. CraJord, as our next President: since
then, the Star, has come out in favor of
Mr.. Calhoun. The Register and the Mil
ton Gazette are the only papers in the state
which at present support Mr.. Crnwtord' s
pretensions and we have reson TO believe,
that they have little ground for expecting
any addition to their number.-We do not
pretend to say which of the candidates for
the Presidency is the most popular with
the people of North Carolina, at this time
but strongly suspect, that when the time for
their decision arrives, those who have been
most sanguine in their calculation on the
vote of this state, will be very much disap-
pointed.
