Curious discovery of Mmderers.

Car1oaS deScopery % JHuTdererS.
The men who lately committed a
murder. in the county of Clare, upon a
person named Ryan, have been, through
the activity of the police, aPprehended,
in the following manner "A party of
the police, commanded by SERGEANT ia
mieson, reached the spot within about
an hour after the preparation of the
horrid deed, and followed the footprints
of the murderers with the most perse-
Fering assiduity. The men remarked.
from the impression on the ground, that
one OF them wore new brogues, or
strong shoes, the soles of which were
thickly set with nails and so vigilant
were they that they observed the yacan-
cy left, by the head of one nail being
wanting in one of them. This track they
pursued to the ruffian's house, where
they took him into custody, with the
identical shoes yet wet upon his feet
they Immediately measured the shoe
with the impression upon the fatal spot,
and found it to answer in every respect,
even to the absent neil. The other man,
they observed, had on but one shoe
This track they also followed, and act
ualiy took him into custody in his own
house, having on a wet and dry shoe.
This circumstantial evideece, we are
glad to say, has been strengthened by
the Identification of both the prisoners,
by the family of the unfortunate victim.
We cannot but recognize a remarkable
Providence in the apprehension of those
men, and we wish it may impress upon
the minds ofthe evil disposed, the aw-
full warning, that the murderer will not,
even-upon earth, be suffered to escape
the vengeance due to his crime. Both
the above men have been committed to
gail, and the family of Ryan has been
broughtinto town for eG.ss,ty.

.4necdote Of a Young Indidn-An Eng
ish gentleman and his friends, travel
ling through piece of woods, in one of
the western states took with him an In
dian lad as a guide. In the course of
the day, they separated; and one of
them finding some curious berries, sent
them TO his companion by the lad with
note specifying their number. The
one who received the present, found
some q the berries missing, and having
reprimanded the boy for eating OF losing
them, sent him back for more. The
gentleman forwarded a second prrcel,
with the number again marked on the
note. The boy played the same trick
with these, delivering only part of what
he received. This procured him a Sc
cond scolding. Whereupon the Indian
fell down upon his knees, and kissed the
paper, saying, | found out, the first time,
that this paper was witch or conjuror ;
but now he has proved his power to be
supernatural, indeed because he tells
that 0ohich he did not see for when
flung away these last berries, for the
sake of experiment, took care to slip
the note under stone, that It might not
know what was passing.

SLAVE ANECDOTE.

Pompey, negro, previous to the
American Revolution, being suspected
of having stolen goods in his possession,
was taken before certain justice of the
peace in ihe county of Philadelphia,
and charged with the offence. The
negro acknowledged the fact, and made
the following decisive defence =" Mas
sa Justice, me know me got dem tings
from Tom, dere, and me tink Tom teal
. dem too; but what den Massa? dey be
only piccaninny knife and piccannin-
ny corkscrew one cost sixpence and
tudder a shilling, and me pay Tom for
dem honestly, Massa." "A very pretty
story, truly said his worship, syou
knew they were stolen, and yet aIlege
in excuse, you paid honestly for them !;
III teach you better law than that, sir
rah ! Don't you know, Pompey, the re-
celver is as bad as the thief? you must.
you black rascal, be severely wnipt
Very well, Massa, if de black rascal
be whipt for buying tolen goods, me
hope de 0ehite rascal be whipt too for
same ting, when you catch him, as we'll
as Pompey." ITO be sure,' replied
r;he Justice. "Well den," says Pom
;pey," here be TOMS Massa; hold him
fast, constable, he buy Tom as buy de
plccaninny corkscrew. He know berry
well poor Tom be tolen from him old
ladder and mudder; de knife and de
corkscrew hab neder." Such was the
justice as well as the severity of Pom
pegs address, that after a short pause,
the Magistrate, with the consenteyof
Toms master, dismissed him, and< Ais.
charged the action.

CATTLE SHOWS.

The Cattle Show, &c. for Middlesex Coun.
ty, was held at Concord on the end instant.
The concourse of citizens is said to have been
large, and the Show respectable. Among
the premiums, we were gratifed to find two
for sweet potatoes, and hope soon to see
premium offered for them in this County. We
have seen some which were raised here, frcm
Carolina seed, equal in size and goodness TO
any which are brought from thence They are
extensively cultivated in New Jersey, where
they yield good and profitable crop, and are
sold in Philadelphia at price below that of
common potatoes. If seed should be obtain
ed from New Jersey or Long Island, there is
no doubt they would succeed well on our
iightest, dry land, which is best adapted to
their culture.

This church was originally founded by Con-

their admirable proportion, some Of the most

that they were taken from the tomb Of Adrian.
