.fpprehended Scarcity. AT meeting of q
number OF the citizens Of Warren county. at War.
renton, North Carolina, the 9th inst. .y,.io,
Hall was called to the Chair, and J. Someryell.
appointed Secretary. The following preamble was
adopted:
Whereas, il has pleased providence in its dis
pensa,iens TO afflct this section OF our country
with drought in its duration and severity exceed
ing all examples in the memory ofany man living.
whereby the industry and labor of all classes of c
'izens have been rendered sbortive and frui;less.
aud the most fearful spprehensions are entertained
that many Of the poor ard INDECENT may perish ~,
greatly suffer for the want OF means Of stppor,ipc
life
central committee Of M.ssrs RI. Fits. q
Drake, X. II. Jones and J. Anderson was then
appointed to open subscriptions for the contrib
ton of money provisions for the support of Id
man life" The citizens OF other parts of thh
county, were recommended to appoint COMMITTEES,
TO confer with the central committee. These com.
mitees are to make rules and regulations touching
the disbursements 10 be made. An additional conn
miiee was appointed 90 TO prepare such resolutions
as IN their opinions may seem likely to diminish the
impending calamity Of famine, and report the same
to general meeting Of the citizens" 20 be conven-
ed AZ subsequent, day.
Our county has beretofore been blessed by
bountiful providence, with proflison Of the ne
eessaries Of life. While the products of the soil
have varied with the varying seasons, there has al
ready been great surplus in the aggregate. Al
this moment, the low price Of wheat and -four is
dscoursging to the farmer. The late drouch, ha,
been excessive throughout the wbols sentiment,
perhaps, with the exception Of several small dis
tricts. Yet, this is the FIRST inirnstion we have
had of an spprebended scarcity in any quarter ap.
preaching 10 famine. Bat the other day the Raleigh
Register gave US TO understand that in the eastern
and western counties Of that State, the crops were
good; and that the severity Of the drought was
seriously fell Only in the middle counties THE res
portability Of the meeting at Wauenton foTbids us
to think that in that county there is not sufficient
cause Tor the timely exercise Of that benevoence
by which they seem to be aetustej. But we hope,
With the Editor Of the Petersburg Intelligence,
that their fears have been prematureIy alarmed.
We have reason 20 believe that the corn crop in
Virginia will be an average one. In most OF the
counties between tide water and the mountains
and in the lower counties on the south side Of
james River, it is said to be very promising. But
IN that portion Of the state in which corn is the
principal crop for market, the drought has been
general, and more severely felt. We have mol,
understood what has been the effect Of tho laio
.ains Throughout, that region. II was subject Of

QUiNcY, 5ih August, 1926.
Gentlemen: have received your very kind
letter OF the I4th ul,. enclosing copy Of the pro-
ceedings Of the Select aud Common Councils Of
the City of Philadelphia, on that day honorary
to the memory of Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams
In the namc andbehaf oflhs immediate relations
OF the latter of those citizens and as one Of those
relatives, pray you TO tender 10 the Select and
Common Council Of Philadelphia our grateful sense
Of the interest which they and the inhabitants Of
that city have taken In the special bereavement,
allotted By this event to the personal kindred OF the
deceased. The children Of those who had the trial
and The happiness Of fixing their names to the De-
clsraton Of Independence can surely never turn
back thought Of reverence and gratitude TO their
fathers, without asoeisting with the remembrance
OF their virtues, the appropriate name Of that city,
where the charter Of united equal rights and bro
therly love, was first proclaimed TO the hopes and
aspirations Of Man.
Accept my respectful and friendly saluta,ions.

Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1826-12-30
THE, RINGLET,

A cheerful fire blazed on the hearth, in
the neat little parlour Of MIR. Percy, ore
cool evening in November, and Helen,
with a choice party of young friends,
formed an agreeable little circle around it.
Helen Percy was not what the ,uorld
would call handsome ; that is, she did not
possess regular features-had neither
black, nor blue eyes-tresses waving
gracefully over her shoulders-nora skin
quite as white as the new fallen snow So
but then there Was beauty in her face, and
beauty that was richly worth all these
i, consisted of oppression. The feelings
of good and benevolent heart, aided by
the graces of pure and well cultivated
mind, cast a lustre over face that could
boast ofno other accomplishment, and
sure none other was necessary to render
it interesting. But Helrn's most power
fnl charm was in her conversation, often
sprigbtly, and always sensible and Plea
sing, il rendered her ever a most engag-
ging companion.
Ii was generally known among her
acquaintances that she was betrothed to
a young navy officer who was then, and
had been for nearly two years, absent in
the United States service, and who was
now daily expected home. Helen was
anxious for his arrival, no, for the grati-
fication Of her own afectionate feeling.
alone, but the tale Of scandal had gone
forth, and she wished its course at once
arrested. An amiable and worthy young
man was in the habit of visiting at the
house Of Mr.. Percy he knew of Helen''
engagement, and his visits to the family
were prompted by friendship alone bu,
others thought differently ;--person'
were surprised that, in the absence o.

HOME.
ANN.

There is no trait, perhaps, more com.
mon, or more amiable in the human
character, than the attachment which
each individual feels for his native place.
with what resistless, tender and soul-sub-
DUNG influence does the remembrance OF
past scenes and pleasures frequently rush
upon our mind Our native hills and val
lies, the murmuring rills, the groves, the
meadows and the fields which witnessed
the innocence and sporiings Of our youth
ful years, arise before the imagination
arrayed in all their beauty. We, lonely,
look back with tender affection 10 the
sacred spot where repose the slumbering
ashes of our departed kindred and
friends. In this chaste and pious medita-
ton, we feel pleasurable melancholy
steal over our souls which we would not
exchange for all the sparkling joys Of
transient and unsubstantial amuses
ments. But awakening from this pleas
ing reverie, we find that we are in dis
tant land surrounded with strangers. In
vain do we look around for the friends
and companions Of our youth---but all
is sad, lone y and disconsolate. Tell US
not that the gales which fan us are per-
fumed with odours; that the gentle zephyr
brings health and balm on its wings that
roses and jessamines fill the soft air with
fragrance, and that the verdant mantle of
nature is spangled with flowers of the
richest dyes. For neither the spicy
gales, the balmy breath of the gentle &c
phyr, nor the roses, nor the jessamineS.
nor natures farest livery, equal the air,
the beauty and enchantment ofonr native
land. To US the whispers ofparen!al
love, tenderness and affection, would be
more grateful and soothing than the gen.
tie fannings ofthe south wind, or the spicy
breeze. To us more pleasing would be
the sight of our parental mansion, though
hung with icicles, and surrounded with the
desolate embems winter, than the beau
ty and verdure attached to distan, land.
