Was Committed,

a no the jail, for the county of Alexandra,
- DC. on the 9TH inst. as a runaway, a
negro mar who calls himself JACK, alias,
NED LOCKET, and says that he is a slave,
the property of John Marks of Chesterfield
county, Virginia, about Two miles from, and
nearly opposite to Richmond; that he has been
recently employed by Mr.. Robinson, as a wag-
oner, hauling coal. But there is some reason
to suspect, that his right masters name is ia.
cob Flonoy, or something like it. Said ne,
gro appears to be about % years ofage, S feet
z or 8 inches high, a little on the yellow com
plexion, & has a small scar on his right cheek,
about one inch from the eye. The owner is
requested to come, prove property, pay char
ges and take him away, otherwise he will be
disposed of as the law directs.

which has, in a great measure, superseded
the use ofthe hoe, through Pennsylvania and
parts of the adjoining states; and, it is be-

well as corn. Planters can be supplied with
this Harrow at 4 moderate price, on applica-

Icertify that, at the late exhibition of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Society, held at the
Paoli, William McConaughcy produced a
"CULTTHATOR OR CORN H3RROW,"
for which the premium of the best Harrow
was awarded. The practical farmers who in
spected this implement, spoke very favorably
of its merits, as being well adapted to the
cultivation of Indian corn, and as uniting to
evident utility, great simplicity and ~cheapness.

Visitors assembled at Monticello on
Monday week; all the members pre-
sent. They were deeply engaged in
discussing the interests Of the Institu-
ton, and making some important ar
RAJ gements, until Friday evening Mr..
JSderson visited the University with
his colleagues during four days Of
their session
We understand that some little diff
Gully was oocasioned by ten or twelve
of the students, who disguised them
selves and attracted the notice Of the
Professors on the lawn Of the Univer-
si,v, in the course Of Saturday night
Rumor has exaggerated the transac-
ton, but the faculty and the Visitors
fet themselves under the necessity 81
enforcing the police of the Institution
An address was made To the SUDDEN
collected in a body in the Rotunda, in
the most impressive manner, by Messrs,
Jefferson and Chapman Johnson; prin-
cipally for the purpose OF obtaining
the names Of the parties concerned, and
appealing to the individuals themselves
to give up their names. The names
were accordingly disclosed on Tuesday
or Wednesday. Sentence oil expul
sion was passed upon three OF these
students by the Faculty, which was
confirmed by the Board Of Visitors -
This unpleasant occurrence will pro
badly be attended with some permanent
benefits to the Institution. The Visit
ors have adopted more efficient ar
engagements for enforcing that sort o.
police which is so essential to large
literary establishments oil this descrip-
ton. The Visitors are 10 re-assemblt
early in December. The state has eve
ry guarantee in their wisdom and firm
ness for the adoption and execution o
the most appropriate measures. The
Faculty are prepared to discharge then
own share Of the duties with energy
and discretion.
