The health of Baltimore has been
altogether UNUSUAL for the season. One
OF our most celebrated physicians De
clares that he has but one patient to
whom he can with any degree oil
proprety make a professional visit
Another gentleman equally eminent
in medicine, his been heard 70 say,
that to fad patients he is compelled to
seek them in the country: IN short our
bill of mortality published last week /,
amounting to but forty six, OF which
fifteen only were adults, is fact that
speaks for Itself 4mer.

GeneSses Repub.

Munitions of Wdr.-The cannon,
balls, &c, which have been for Some
years IN the public storehouse at Sack
ett's Harbour, are now un.ier march
ing orders from the War Department,
bound to The city of New-iork 1t
is said they will amount TO nearly live
thousand tons. They are brought to
this port in The Lake Ontario steam
boats, and are shipped hence on the
canal. AS we have no prospect OF i'm
mediate use tor then' on this frontier,
il is thought advisable to place them
upon the sea hoard. The policy OF
removing the whole ofihem, however,
we think, is at least questionable A
few of them at the mouth oFthls river
might be very convenient at future
,lay. and there is nothing better ca'cu-
lated to keep John Bull in good hu-
mour. when he makes us a visit upon
this side the lines, than an occasional
view of mortar or Long Tom,

INDIAN LAW.-An cadence Q

, INDIAN LAW.-An cadence OF
the summary mode Of punishment prac-
used by some of the aborigines of our
country, was witnessed few days since
in this vicinity.
In dispute between two Indians of
the Choctaw tribe, (msny of whom are
constantly in or about the city, one OF
them stabbed the other with knife,
and severely wounded him. The son
of a Chief, who happened at that time
to be here, on being informed of the cir
cumstance. went out to the spot, and,
without much ceremony, shot the Of
fender, who submitted to his tate With
out murmer, andwe understand, assis-
ted very cody in placing his gun to bis
bre East
This mode of Furnishing offences Of
this nature probably is not uncommon
among savages, but II appears singular,
that the man on whom the assault was
committed should also be condemned 10
suffer death because he was wounded.
In this case the wounded Indian was
likewise shot, and both were buried in
the same hole.--.ro5iie Reg ,ster.

Five Dollars Reward.

ELOPED from the farm of the subscriber,
IL about three weeks past, negro boy
named CHARLES NORRIS, about Is or II
years old, thin visage, small features and small
head, and when spoken to replies in very
slow and deliberate manner. His clothing
was domestic roundabout and pantaloons of
light color, but it is very probable that he has
changed them. He was seen at the White
House Fishery soon after he left home, and
subsequently,, he passed over the river at this
place to Maryland. The above boy having
heretofore been remarkable for his good con-
duct, and nothing having been done or said to
him, to justify or to induce him to abscond,
leads to the suspicion that he has been misled
by some evil disposed person. The above re-
ward will be given if lodged in the Jail of this
county, so that get him again.
