SHOCKING MURDEK-On the 18th juno,
Thomas Wigs and Henry Wells descended
the Cumberland river, and about 8 or 9 miles
below Eddyvile, stopped at the house Of one
Absoan Stokes. Shortly after their arrival
Wiggs left Stokes house on foot with the intc;-
ton of going to Smithland; Immediately after his
departure, Wells said he had lost his pocket
book with a considerable sum of money, and
charged Wggs with having stolen it. Wells
then employed two men to go after Wiggs, who
soon overlook him and brought him back but
found on him neither money or pocket book.
It was near dark when they delivered Wiggs
to Wells, who, with Stokes, put him on board a
skift, and rowcd him out into the river, where,
after beating him numerically, they cut of both
ears, stabbed him in the breast, and then threw
him into the river Four days afterwards, his
body was found bound as above mentioned
S'okes was Immediately apprehcnded and com.
mtted, but Wells made his escape; and we un-

found true bill against Stokcsfor Murder.

BUTLER'S
Vegetable Indian Specific,

FOR the cure of Colds, Coughs, Con-
symptoms, splitting Of blood, Asthmas, and all
diseases of the breast and lungs.
There is perhaps no medical observation better
established, none more generally confirmed BY
the experience OF the best ply scians of all ages
and countries, and none of more Importance to
the human family, than the fact, that many of
the most difficult and incurable Consumptions
originate in neglected colds
The celebrated DR. Cullen has taught us that
"our first attention should be employed in watch
ing the approach of the disease, and preventing
its proceeding to an incurable state"
This Specific is obtained by extraction from
herbs, roots, flowers, plants, sc when in perfec-
ton. 1t heals the Injured parts, opens the pores,
and composes the disturbed nerves after the
manner. of an anody ne, 1t promotes e>pectora-
ton; and, whilst it cieanses and heals, it also gives
strength to the tender lungs. 1t may always be
given in safety. 1t is mild. pleasant to the taste,
and may safely be given to infants, for which il is
OF measurable value. 1t affords relief in bowel
complaints, teethng, whooping coughs, NC and
is found particularly useful in hypochondrical,
nervous, and historical diseases Each bill of d.
rections contains detailed account of this disease
in all its different stages, and will be accompant

REPORT.

The Committee to whom was referred the
communication from the Governor of Rhode
Island to the Governor of this Commonwealth,
having attended the duties assigned them,
beg leave to report as follows, viz.
That from the examination of various doc
uments they are we'll satisfied, the south
boundary of Massachusetts, and the north
boundary of Rhode-Island was definitely run
out and settled by Commissioners appointed
by the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and
The Colony of Rhode. Island, on the 22d day of
Oct. A. D. 1718.
\, The starting point at the northeast corner
of Rhode-Island, from time immemorial has
been established and always acquiesced in by
the respective governments. There is no dis
agreement in relation to that point, at the
present moment; the only question is, what
course from the place of departure to Con-
necticut river, shall be taken to determine the
east and west line between the two States?
In 1921, James the first granted charter to
the Colony of Massachusetts,, and bounded it
on the south by line running due east and
west, passing on point three miles south of
any of the waters of Charles river. In 1868,
Charles the second made a similar grant TO
Rhode-lsland, adopting the same line for the
uOTtu DOuuudtS Vi lildl Stdlc. IN lIl0. some
difference of opinion being entertained as to
the most southerly waters of Charles river,
Commissioners were appointed by both Gov
ernments to ascertain the point, and to run
the true boundary line between the two
States. d.
At their meeting they agreed upon the
point from which to take their departure, and
run w. 224 S. BY this agreement, it is said
by Commissioners who have investigated the
subj ect, that Massachusetts lost two miles in
width on the south. No doubt good and suf
fcient reasons existed at that time for deviat-
ing from the chartered line, but which at this
time, being more than one hundred years
since, cannot be assigned. e.
At the meeting of the Commissioners afore-
said, they made the following report, viz.
"New- England, SIS; Rehoboth, in the
County Of Bristol, Oct..22, 1918.

ERIE CANAL.

1t has been stated, that territory "
ing south of Lake Erie, larger than
New-England, will most assuredIy send
its surplus provisions and produce, by the
Erie Canal, to New-York market. With
out such canal, great proportion of
this surplus must have been lost, or RON
dered of small value. But by reason of
this great inland passage, the landed es-
tates in that extensive tract must be in
creased in value at least $4,000 900
Ohio alone will send through this chan
mel, to the city of N. York, 100000
barrels Of -four, and various articles Of
provisions, in due proportions of each,
annually, provided the market in that
city will justify ii. Here, the magnifi-
cence Of the Erie Canal is exhibited in
new and striking light.
But the most splendidexhibition of the
results Of this canal, is the fact, that the
State of Illinois is about 10 construct ca
nal from Chicago, at the south-westerIy
part of lake Michigan, TO the nayigable
waters of the river Illinois, only twelve
miles in length; by means of which, Git
should be known, that this IS the easiest
place IN the United States for construct.
ing a CANAL the navigation from the F.
RE Canal will be extended to the west.
and northwest, through the lakes and
the Illinois river TO the Mississippi
thence to the Missouri, ard up that riv.
er and The Mississippi; making, in the
whole, distance Of at least 5000 Eng.
lish miles o! inland navigation. Without
the Erie Canal, there would never have
been connection between the Eastern
and Western parts of the American

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Committee to whom was referred thu
communication of his Honor the Lieutenant
Governor of the 18th inst. accompanied with
copy ola letter of his late Excellency, of the
2lst OF June last, addressed to the Governor oil
Connecticut, and containing also the lnforma-
tiop, that no answer has been received by the
Executive of this Commonwealth, nor any
communication respecting the boundary line
between the two States, have considered the
same.
The respect due to the Chief Magistrate OF
Connecticut, forbids the supposition that an
answer to the very respectful letter aforesaid
from the Governor of this Commonwealth,
can lie Intentionally withheld, or tlsDt the ex-
parte running of said line last October by per-
sons claiming to be authorised by the State of
Connecticut, can have been made under the
authority of that State-we therefore recon
mend that the further consideration of the
subject be referred TO the first session of the
next General Court, trusting that in the mean
time SOM communication will be received

on the subject, and seriously believing. it has
not hitherto been omitted by any design.

Resolped, That in the opinion Of this Legs-
lature, the line of Jurisdiction between the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on the south,
and the State of Rhode-Isand on the north,
more than one hundred years ago, was mutu-
ally, formally, and equitably settled by Com

same they therefore Can see no good reason
for uniting with the government of Rhode-Isl-

ciples and lines which have so long been es-
tablshed and acquiesced in by both parties.
But as it is desirable to preserve and cultivate
good feelings between the citizens of the two

themselves al all times ready to run the line
as anciently settled by the two States, and
renew the monuments, if found necessary.
