the proclamation OF Boyer, regulating the
commerce of this government. Ii provides
that Hsytien vessels may trade with the
countries that are on terms of friendship with
Hayti :, but in order to avoid most scrupu-

countries, in relation 10 the internal police Of
their colonies, they are prohibited going to the

Boring for Water.--For some time
past, Mr.. Levi Drisbr ow has had a set
of hands employed on the farm Of Mr..
John H. Bostwick, opposite this city,
boring for water On Thursday last,
when the men had got down to the
depth of from $40 to $50 feet, the wa
ter rose above the surface, and now
discharges at the rate of two gallons a
minute, one foot above the ground; and
one gallon and half at the distance OF
two feet, and the quantity of water is
increased as the workmen proceed.
This is the fouCth instance of the sue
cess of Mr. Disbrow in this neighbour
hood, and fully establishes his opinion,
that large supply of water may be OBJ
tanned by boring sufficient DEPTH,
whether the situation be elevated OF
Otherwise.

In our last we mentioned that M'Lane's

The next day, the 21st ult. the resolution and

1880, entitled to half-pay for life, and the re-
mainder to be paid to such other officers and
privates as served nine months, at any one

There seems to be large majority in favor o
some provision of the kind, but it is uncertain
whether they will agree how far the bounty

Mississippi.--A horrible affair took
place near Wood7ile, on the Cd of the
last month. An African slave belong
ing to a Mr.. Carson, had several tim, .
run away, but was brought back--at
last he left his owner with determine
ton not to be re-takeR. He was pur-
sued by Mr.. c. and friend, and found
at a neighbouring house, and they shut
the doors 10 prevent his escape, but the
African seized an axe, knocked down
his master with it, and thought he had
killed him, aad broke open the doors
with the instrument in his hand. He
returned TO the house of his master
and there, while Mrs. Carson was in bee
and asleep, he, with the same axe
broke her skull into many pieces-ant
she never spoke afterwards, though
she breathed few hours. The negro
then escaped and was pursued-he. wa:
GC,e,d upon and shot in the head. The
it was thought would prove So. Il wa
expected that Mr.. C. would recover.

.Nep Greek Treaty-The treaty for
adjusting the disputes relative TO the
Georgia lands, and making auentire ces-
sion to the State of Georgia of the In
dian title 10 lands in the State, is pub

January last, and ratified the 22d Of

rlors of the Creek nation have protest.

and have represented that it was signed
on their part by persons having no suf-
ticient authority TO form treaties or to
make cession, and that the slpulations
IN the said treaty, therefore, are wholly
void. By the first article of the new
treaty, the treaty of Feb. 10, 1926, is
declared to be null and void, and every
right and claim arising from it is cancel.
led and surrendered. By the SECOND
article, and supplementary one, the
Greeks cede 10 The United States all the
land belonging 10 the nation, within the
limits Of Georgia. By the third article
the United States agree 10 pay, imme
diately after the ratification of the trea
ty, the sum of S21760O, to be divide,
among the chiefs and warriors of the
Creek nation. By the fourth article
they agree TO pay an additional perpet
ual annuity of $4,000. The McTntosI
party are TO emigrate to the Indian
country west of the Mississippi, wher
land enough is TO be purchased for then
by the United States. The expense o
their removal is to be betrayed by tn,

.a1efut visttation-Yesterday between
ten aud eleven o'clock, A. NJ. during a
severe thunder storm, the chimney OF
Mr.. James Boal was struck by ght-
ming, and the electric fluid descending,
caused the instantaneous death of no less
than four individuals thus in a moment
bereaving Mr.. Boal of an affectionate
wife, and two lovely children, one
about 5, and the other about years of
age; and widowed mother (Mrs Per-
rine) Of daughter, in the bloom of
life.
-Four others were in the room at the
time, three of Mr.. Boal's children, and

dentially escaped with but slight injury.

Erplosion.-A powder-milI, belong
ing to Mr.. WhippIe, of Chelmsford,
Mass. was blown up on Saturday before
last. The explosion is said to have
originated from the friction of one OF
the mortars, or from improper substance
accidentally intermingled with the ma
terials then in the process of pulveriza-
ton. 1t produced a tremendous report.
The roof of the building was carried up
whole, considerable distance in the
air, and was thus seen at first above the
cloud of smoke. The timbers and
boards we're thrown in every direction,
and broken and shattered in every i'm
aginable shape. From viewing the
spot, it would seem impossible that a
human being could escape instant de-
struction. Yet we understand that the
man was not rendered so insensible but
that, upon perceiving his clothes TO
have caught fire, he could pIunge into
ihe river to extinguish it.

Lieut.. Gov. Hubbard has addressed

and resolutions on the subject have been

il is subject Of a strictly legal character
and no, tobe effected by any decision OF
that body.
Both branches of the Legislature have
determined to act on the usual subjects

and neither has yet fixed upon time be-
yoDd which new business will not be re-

that they will remain in session for Two
or three more weeks.

among which, in the Senate, is bill to
