LANDSLIDE.

We noticed last week an avalanche"
IN Lincoln, W.T. A correspondent of the
Bennington Gazette gives the following ac-
count OF another in the same State, which
which came down June II.
In Dorset is. a mountain which is about
two thousand feet in height, and extends
a considerable distance into the Southern
part of Dandy. A part of this mountain

about two hundred rods distant from each
other, and having slid half mile, they
united, and continued on about three
fourtbs of a mile further, when they came
to more level surface. The whole dis
lance in which its ravages are seen is
about Ii miles, embracing upwards of 90
acres. On beholding the sublimity of this
scene was struck with astonishment.
1t appears that the very windows of
Heaven were opened, that the clouds were
literally broken, and that mighty column
of unbroken water descended upon this
mountain with Unprecedented velocity, and
swept IN its resistless fury, every thing
with which it fell in contact AS it pass
ed along the winding rivulet which runs
down the mountain, the vast quantity of
earth and timber which preceded the
great body Of water, would now and then
block up the passage by bracing against
the standing timber which thronged its
way, until it would raise the water to the
height of rs or 30 feet, when the pressure
of water and floating timber overcome the
resistance of rocks and trees, and the
whole :::dss again resume its course with
, augmented rapidity.

HoRRID OCCURRENCE. Some time dur
ing the last week one of those outrageous
transactions--and we really think, dis
graceful to the character of civilized man
took place near the north east boundary
line of Perry, adjoining Bibb and Autanga
counties. The circumstances, we are in
formed, by a gentleman from that county,
are: "That a Mr.. McNeily having lost
some clothing or some other property. of
no great value, the slave of neighboring
planter was charged with the theft. Nc.
Nelly in company with his brother, found
the negro driving his masters wagon: they
seized him, and either did or were about to
chastise him, when the negro stabbed
McNoily, so that he died in an hour after
wards-the negro was taken before JUS
tice of the Peace, whe after serious DELHI
Grafton, waived his neutrality-suspicious..
through fear, as the crowd of persons from
the above counties had collected to the
number of seventy or eighty near Mr..
Peoples 1.-THE justice) house. He acted as
President of the mob, and put the vote.
whenit was decided he should be innnedi-
ately executed by being bur7,tto death-the
sable culprit was led to a tree and tied to
IT, and large quantity of pine knots col
lected, and placed around him, and the
fatal torch was applied to the pile, even
against the remonstrances Of several rem
tlemen who were present; and the miser-
able being was in a short time burnt to
ashes.
An inquest was held over the remains.
and the sheriff of Perry County. with a
company of about twenty men, repaired TO
the neighborhood where this barbarous act
took place, to secure those concerned. but
with what success we have not heard, but
we-hope he will succeed in bringing the
perpetrators of so high-handed a measure
to account to their country for their CON
duct in this affair. This is the second ne
gro who has been thus put to death without
Judge or jury in that county.
NOVEL SPECTACLE. The tavern.keepers NJ
Niagara Falls intend enhancing the pleasure of
the vlsters by spectacle alike grand and nov
oil. They have purchased vessel OF 300 tons
burthen; which, with all her canvass sprcod
and decorated beautifully, will be piloted bv a
Frenchman into the Rapids above the Horse
Shoe, where the pilot ascends from the dacl in
q balloon, and leaves the vessel TO her own
course in crossing the mighty cataract. Tho
proprietors will undoubtedly have rich har.
vest from the crowds that will throng 10 the
sight, which takes place in tho latter part Of
Septemper.--N Y. Paper.

COURAGE. We have heard the follow
ing anecdote, which places in strong
Ight the fearless courage of the superin-
tendant of the Sing Sing State Prison, and
the salutary awe with which he has inspir-
ed the criminals under his charge. Hav-
ing had occasion to infict some severe
punishment upon two or three of the con-
victs, after they had retired among their
fellows, one of them was-heard to declare
IN the most solemn manner, and with
tremendous oath, that he "would be the
death of the superintendent" whenever a
fair opportunity offered. This declaration
was conveyed to him by convict who
overheard it. On the following morning,
the superintendent went to the cell of the
convict who had threatened him, carrying
IN his hand his shaving utensils. He lock-
eS the door, put the key in his pocket, and
sitting down, ordered the convict to shave
him. The fellow, surprised at this novel
command, proceeded, not without trepida-
ton, to perform the task imposed upon him.
lie finished the operation in good style.
The superintendent then rose, and said to
HIM, "are you not ashamed to make a
threat, which your cowardice will not allow
you to carry into execution? have heard
OF your having sworn to take my life, and
came here to show YOU that it did not
brighten me, and to let you know what kind
OF man you have to deal with"

WHITE SLAVES IN VIRGINIA. The
winchester, (Va.) Republican gives the
particulars of strange proceeding in one
OF the neighboring counties. A number of
gentlemen wishing to form an Anti-slavery
Society, and notice for public meeting
was published as usual on such occasions.
When the time arrived, it was found that
the magistrates had possession of the
courthouse, with constables stationed at
every point. They forbade the meeting.
or any discussion of the subject of slavery,
and ordered the people home, on pain Of
arrest and Imprisonment. In vain did the
gentlemen contend for their legal and con-
stltutional right at all times pcaceably to
assemble together, and deliberate upon
public measures. The magistrates said
they had searched the statutes Of Virginia.
and could find no law aathorisiag such a
meeting. or allowing them to discuss the
subject of slavery, and consequently they
would allow no meeting to be held. The
people wore driven home, without being
permitted to talk upon the subject of slav-
cry, or to form society to promote it's ex-
tinction, or mitigation of its horrors,
Will the freemen of Virginia submit to
insults like this If so, they are no lon
ger treemen, and in proportion as they
have more intelligence than their negroes,
is their own bondage the most severe.

A letter from Caracas, dated 29th June,
to the editor Of the Baltimore Gazette.
says
The character of Bolivar is not known
in the U. States or Europe. He is honest,
brave a.iiu generous, strictly Just, but proud
and imperious. His ideas of government
and state policy, are very different to what
you in the United States consider liberal
principles. In fact, he knows the people of
Colombia better than they know themselves,
and without him at the present moment,
there would be nothing but anarchy and
confusion"

FLIES. We are told that the following
recipe Is as eificacious for the destruction
OF flies as solutions of arsenic, mercury
and other polsons; and has the advantage
OF not endangering the lives and health Of
the human species if incautiously allowed.
Dissolve drachms of the extract of quas-
sla in half pint of boiling water, add
little sugar or syrup, pour the mixtures on
plates, and set them in places infested by
these insects.
BoTTLING CIDER. When you draw off
Cider for bottllng, you may, probably pre-
vent the bursting of the bottles, by setting
them on the ground in the northerly part of
your cellar, and covering them with moss.
This moss you will be careful to keep wet
with cold water, drenching it from water
pot every . or 10 days during the warm
season.
BED BUGs. A strong decoction of ripe
red pepper is said to be as eflicacious an
antIdote to bed bugs as can be selected
from the multltudlnous recipes for the same
purpose.--.M E. Farmer.

p MILITARY SCHOOLS. We are told that
a military school, under the drilling of one
ei Captain Partridge's professors, is soon to
be established at Amboy. Now, gums
trumpets, blunderbusses, drums dni thun-
der, are ell good in their place but are
we not becoming too fond of military dis
play, now that the world has stacked its
arms? Even our colleges are no longer
the peaceful abodes of Minerva alone, but
Mars has taken apartments in several of
them, the students of which are awakened
by the noisy drum instead of the deep-toned
college bell: and instead of porting over
Eclld or the classics for an hour before
breakfast, you see them brushing the dew
drops from the lawn, by performing coun-
ter-marches, forming eshellons, and wheel
ing into column. Perhaps this is all right !;
but have not bayonets as often bristled in
the air to defend the enemies, as the
friends. of freedom? With us, however,
there can be no danger, so long as the mil
itary are kept clearly and decidedly sub
servlent to the civil authorities. But sup
pose that in an evil hour, instead of sound
civilian, the Presidential chair should be
filled by daring " Military Chieftain," who
has never hesitated to trample upon the
civil laws when dressed in a little brief
authority, with military fever spreading
among the people and hot military blood
boiling in the veins of the students in our
schools and colleges, what might he not
be able to accomplish? There may be nc
immediate danger, but it is well enough to
think of these things.-yN Y Com. .4du.
