DIED.,

At his residence, near this borough, on
Monday morning last, Mr.. JOHN WOOL
STON.
Died at Mrs. Somervc's, in Granville, on Sat
urtay night week, in the 72d year of his age lit
tie JENNY DIXON; who saw as much pleasure,
created AS much mirth drank as much liquor, and
worked less than any white person in this coun-
try ever did, who had the free use of his limbs,
aid was no fool. Jenny had his clothes burnt
off, in fun; was committed often to Jail in fun;
was drawn in freshet across IIyco at the end
of horses tails in fun; had his hip put out Of place.
and his thigh broke, bya waggish fellow in a
tavern, in fun; had his head run over by hogs
head oftobacco in fun; and yet preserved his hu-
nor, his mirth, his independence, his spirits, his
love of good eating and drinking, and his con-
fident hope of hereafter, to the last. He
died he had lived, in fun giving his pipe to one,
his sun-glass to another, his tobacco to third,
his bottle to fourth; to another his Testament,
which he had got by heart, Cornaro to another,
and literally dividing his garments and his SUBJ
stance equally amongst his friends. His maxim
was that he should die seized in fee simple OF as
much land as he should need; that all the good
people loved to work for him, and that he never
would work for the wicked. Jenny was laugh
ing and drinking philosopher; visited the best
families, and was never known to make mischief
by carrying news.

IMPORTANT TO GUNNERS.

Having received an extensive injury on
the third OF this month from the bursting of
a fowing piece; think it no more than Il
duty to put the public on their guard about
loading this dangerous instrument. Being
called on by neishhor to shoot his beef, |
started from home about daylight, and hav-
ing to pass friends house, (he not being up,
as supposedly | thought would put small
charge of powder in the gun, discharge it.,
and awaken him. / did so without wadding
it; fired it off, and it burst TO atoms-shiver-
ing my left hand to an alarming degree, SO
much so that have lost a thumb and fore
finger. On afterwards telling my friends |
thought it was caused by not wadding the
powder they affirmed it could not be; this
led me to get some young men in the neigh
borhood, to take All English musket had,
and charge it. and try the experiment.
They did SO; which proved my assertion tru ;
as it shivcred the stock and would without
doubt have burst the barrel but it being "a
very large calibrc and the C arse light, it
did not much injurc it.

When certain Magistrate, who has his APP

aware, descends to the meanness of getting a
contemplate petty constable( (ofwhomi it is doubt
cd whether he can write his own name) to con-
sent to have his name affixed to scurlilous
abusive piece as the author, it may well be said,
if the shoe pinches wear it. The piece alluded
to was general charge and can be as generally
supported | make no exceptions, and II amy one
makes an exception Of himselfhc is welcome, L"t
not under false colours. The name affixed TO
the piece (and doubt much whether the pro-
fessed writer of it could read it) makes it appear
to me as if this delicate magistrate was ashamed
of his own signature. With respect to the SANITY Of
which the writer speaks, perhapsa certain Mr..
-, who would have used a - on an occa-
sion when a sum OF money was in jeopardy, had
not the holder made his escape tro' door IN ilar-
ket-st could probably give better certificate OF
a certain magistrates sanity, than two Physicians
could of the sanity of a Dry Goods Merchant, or
fthe gentleman chooses, secondhand Lottery
Broker. If the gentleman wishes any more on
the subject, he can have it to his hearts content
With regard to the number of suits have had,
the gentleman is referred to the dockets OF other
magistrates.
/ had no desire to acerate the feelings of any
honest magistrate or constable, but as my adver-
tisement of the 18th instant, has given umbrage
in a quarter where least expected it, and as l
have had a sufficient surfcit of the expence and
trouble of collecting debts when once sued and
put into the hands of constables, and as | am cx-
trcmely desirous of closing the accounts, as mem
toned in my advertisement of the 18th, | am de-
termined to settle my business in my own way

IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL.

Extract ola letter received in Salem, from re-
spectacle mercantile house, dated
Rio JANEInU, Nov. %.
1t was confidently stated about ten days
ago, that the Emperor would empower Sir
Charles Stuart to treat with Buenos Ayres
respecting the Banda Oriental, and set
tie their differences OH such terms as might
appear advisable to him; and the Diamond
frigate was to have sailed this morning with
him on that mission. The Emperor. how
ever, very suddenly and unexpectedly deter
mined not to accept of his mediation, and
on the 10th inst published an address to his
troops, which were about embarking for the
River Plate, that leaves little hope of all
amicable settlement Of our difficulties and
should Bolivar come down with considerable
force to JON the Bueuos Ayreans. which Is
spoken of as d thing beyond doubt, we may
soon expect serious strife in that quarter,
but can form no opinion as to what the re-
suit may be. Sir Charles was to have sailed
this morning for Bania, perhaps not pleased
with the Emperor's course"
