The Albion IN. " newspaper, last re-
ceived, after abiding to Hill as the murder
er of Morgan, says =
This man has undergone another strict
examination, by three attornies, in the
presence of many other respectable gentle
men, which continued six hours and result
ed, as we are informed by a gentleman
present. in the entire conviction of all who
attended, that he is in fact the murderer of
William Morgan. He has accordingly, on
his own confession, been committed to
prison. He stated, we are told, in the
most positive and explicit terms every trans
action, and particularly respecting the awful
tragedy, without the least contradiction or
discrepancy. He gave the names and
number of his accomplices, who we believe,
through the timely notice ofthe Lewiston
Convention, that they were : all found out,
have left the country, and it is to be feared
are now beyond the reach of detection and
punishment"

The following handsome compliment is
paid to old Massachusetts in leading arti-
Gle Of the National Journal, on the subject
OF the tardy spirit of Improvement in the
South:
" Let our readers cast their eyes over
the map of the United States, and observe
the small space which is occupied 10y Mas
saehusetts. Yet where is the State in the
whole Union, occupyingsas large surface
as it may, which can present a greater ag-
gregate of wealth, and industry, and enter
prise. Improving her power, outstanding
her resources, and making every citizen
contribute his portion to the-common stock
of labor, although, on the map penknife
would almost cover the portion of room as
signed her, still she is able to sustain
rank for talent and wealth, for public spirit
and private hospitality, which is seldom
equalled, scarcely to be surpassed"

WILD Ducks. Providence River and
Bristol Bay have been thronged with can
vass back ducks this fall, and immense
numbers have been shot. Their visits
have never before been extended in that
direction. There has been fine sport, too,
farther east. The Plymouth paper says,
four thousand pounds of wild ducks, of
different descriptions, have been transport
ed IN the stages through this town, from
Martha's Vineyard to Boston market, with
IN five weeks past; in addition to which,
very considerable quantities have been sent
to that market, during the same period,
from this town and its vicinity"

ANECDoTE. An Irish lad who had lust
been transplanted from the interior to Dub

half bushel Of oysters, to the quay. but
was absent so long, that apprehensions
were entertained for his safety. He re-

in the most musical style. "Where have

have been why where would Ibe, but to

A JEW IN DALKEITH. On Tuesday last
the good people of Dalkeith were thrown
into state of religious excitement, by a
public announcement, that converted Jew
was to preach in the Mason Lodge, on the
evening Of that dny. The novelty Of tho
report attracted goodly portion of the ma
tives to the place of worship, and they had
the satisfaction of bearing a bearded Jew
preach an eloquent and impressive sermon
from Psalm, eli. IL :-"Thou shalt arise,
and have mercy upon Zion: for the time
to favor her, yea, the set time is Gomez
Towards the end of the sermon a sort of
fracas took place, owing to the scepticism
ola stalwart theologian, who, when the
Israelite de Jared " that he was commanded
to preach the word in five market towns in
Scotland" stood up, and in very dictate
rial tone, demanded from whom he had re-
ceived his commission? This interroga-
ton did not damp the ardor of the Israelite,
who only observed in reply, that he was
willing to answer any question which might
be put to him after the sermon was conclud-
ed. The natives, of course expected that
at its conclusion there would be a regular
" war of words" betwixt he of the beard,
and he of the bake but whether the scep-
tic turned at last true believer in the as
sertions of the Jew, touching his authority
to pteach "the word in five market towns
in Scotland" or whether his courage fail
ed him, and he became afraid of the Jews
beard, we cannot tell !; yet it is certain,
that he put no farther questions to the eater
of hogs flesh, and the congregation dis
persed very much down in the mouth, at
their townsman having displayed such
paucity of pluck. Edinburgh Observer.

The followingdistrcssing event occurred
lately in Crawford County, Georgia. Two
young men went out one morning TO hunt
wild tur kies-having separated, one crept
behind a log, to watch for game, and MIN
licked the call of the turkey; he was ans.
wered by the other who supposing it real
turkey, drew near and seeing some object
move, fired--his horror on finding the ball
had passed through the head of his COM
panion is indiscribable,
