SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

A few days since, man who keeps a
public house in Giles county, left home with
his wife, with the intention of staying all
night. He left the house in care Of his two
daughters, with directions to receive no trav-
oilers in his absence. Late in the evening,
an old gentleman called and desired to stay
all night. The girls refused to entertain
him, alleging the fathers commands as the
excuse. He insisled and they finally agreed
to let him stay. Some short time after, a
young man called, whom they also refused
to entertain; but upon his insisting, backed
by the request Of the old gentleman, who
pledged himself for his good behaviour, they
consented that he should stay also.
Some time after they had retired to rest,
the two travellers were awakened by loud
and unusual noise in the chamber of the two
sisters, who slept above them. They in
stantly arose and wentup stairs, the young
er taking his pistols with him. At the door
of the girls room they encountered "A man
passing out. He was hailed by the younger
traveller, who demanded his name, and er-
rand, and the cause of the noise which had
| awakened them, and who threatened to
shoot him if he remained silent, or persisted
in his attempt to escape. He made no an
! swer, and on endeavoring to pass, the travel
Ter shot him dead on the spot. They then
went into the room, where most bloody
and appalling spectacle met their view-the
two sisters were found in bed with their
! throats cut, and weltering in their blood.
They now sailed forth for the purpose o!
alarming the neighbors. The first house
they came to, and the one nearest this scene
of blood, they informed the landlady what
had happened, who Immediately exclaimed
at is my husband you have shot !" She
proved to be correct; it was indeed theil
nearest neighbor who perpetrated the crime
1t seems the murderer and the father of the
Inflated girls, were engaged in lawsuit
they were the most material witnesses il
the case, and the monster, to get rid of theil
testimony, formed in the absence of thei
father the dlabolcal resolution, in which he
succeeded but too well, of depriuing them O.
life.

IHE SPIRIT is WEARY OF SUCH THINGS
In the counties of Montgomery and Estill
! lken.) the Jackson and Adams candi-
dates for Senator were tied. The cleo
/ ton was contested, and it was found that
there were upwards of so votes, noe ascer-
tanned to be illegal, upon the Jackson tick
et." This illegal act while it swelled the
number of votes for Senator produced the
same effect on those of the Jackson Gov
ernor and as similar practises are known
to have taken place in other counties. there
! is no doubt that on investigation nany hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, might be added to
the administration majority. The George
! town Sentinel, IN confederation of this state
ment, gives the following facts:
UoIraPtsoH. Several persons were
detected during the late election in Fayette.
who had been hired to 90 from other coun-
ties and vote for the Jackson ticket. Some
OF those persons went from Mercer, and
circumstances which have already been de-
veloped, justify belief that prominent
citizen Of the latter county was concerned
in this business. The great object of the
party seems to have been to give the Jack
son ticket majority in Fayette, where Mr..
Clay resides.

NAooAO, W. I. July o.
The DANDY FEVER. The complaint
which is generally known by this nickname
is now, it may be said, raging here, and has
been prevalent for the last four weeks. 1t
may he considered a mercy that it is not
fatal disease. for had it been so, the place
would have been depopulated ere now, for
we believe there is not a family in town
where it has not been experienced. It's
first attacks are as various in the symptoms,
as the complaints which it brings on and
leaves behind after the abatement of the
fever, which accompanies the early stages
of it.. Some are suddenly seized with vio-
lent pains of the body or limbs; others with
sickness at the stomach and pains in the
head /; some with an eruption in the face
and hands and it is said in few instances
to have begun with fits.
A person while sitting on sofa, speak
ing of the state of his next door neighbor's
family, suddenly cries out, "Oh, my back /;
here comes the Dandy; help Inc to bed, for
can't move" Several persons, after hav-
ing been two days confined in bed, get up,
feeling tolerable easy for day or two af-
forwards, when out comes an eruption all
over the body, somewhat like measles or
erysipelas, and pains in the extremities like
rheumatism. which in many instances con-
tinues for weeks afterwards. A slight de-
gree of delirium has sometimes accompani-
ed the fever, and there are instances, where
it has succeeded the fever. In brief, we
believe, there is no alinent mentioned by
the faculty, which has not been felt, while
under the effects of this strange malady.

IGNORANCE OF SURGEONS. Ayoung wo-
man lately died in the county Of Erie, N. Y.
of the cause and manner of which Cirenlus
Chaplin, Surgeon, gives the following ac-
count, " compelled by the force of duty"
"Seeing an account of the death of Laura
Kennedy, of the town Of Boston, in the coun-
ty of Erie. feel myself compelled by the
force of duty, to lay her case before the pub
lie. She was young woman about twenty
years of age, and a few weeks since, IN mt
of insanity or jealousy, cut her throat by
making several deep incisions with a razor.
On the morning following this unhappy
event, several physicians were called in, but
upon consultation. their opinions were, that
nothing could he done for her relief, the
esophagus being partially divided, and
which, as they thought, could not be join
ed, without producing an inflammation that
would eventuate in death. This ill-founded
opinion, thus prematurely expressed, was
sufficient to prevent any exertions for the
relief of the unfortunate young woman for
three days, at which time | was called to
see her. Upon my arrival, found to my
utter astonishment, that nothing had been
done to the wound, not even SO much as to
cover it with cloth. Upon examination |
ascertained that the trachea, or wind pipe,
was nearly divided; and also that the ESQ.,
phagus was partially separated by tile razor.
In this stage of the case, need not add,
that immediate and prompt attention was
required; at the same time | could see no
difficulty in restoring the patient to health
! in the course of few weeks. No surgeon,
unless through the influence of the most
consummate ignorance, could have arrived
at different conclusion. Those attending,
however, thought the operation of closing
the wound would be painful and that no ia
vorable result could he expected. This
opinion, in connexion with the superstitious
notions of others, finally prevailed; and l
was compelled to leave the patient as l
found her, not being permitted to do any
thing for her relief The deep cuts of the
razor having injured nothing Immediately
essential to life, to an extent that could be
considered at all alarming; the connexions
and friends of the patient were informed,
that she would not die of the wound, but for
| the want of food-a death of all others the
most horrible. She fingered twenty -one
days, when she was relieved from her suf-
ferings by the hand of death-lterally
/ victim to the most reprehensible ignorance,
on the part of her physicians, and the most
degrading superstition on the part of her at
! tendants."

TRADE AND MANUFAcTUREs A brig
was cleared yesterday at our custom house
for the North West Coast, having on board
SIR hundred and .forty-sir bales of Domestic
Cottons, valued at torty-eight thousand dol
lars. A ship also cleared for Valparaiso,
with nearly fire hundred bales of the same
commodity.
We hope our friends at the South will take
notice of these facts. How many bales of
our northern manufactured cottons they have
burnt, in consequence of the Columbia reso-
lutions, we have not yet learnt; but we hope,
when they learn that we can find market
for them elsewhere than in South Carolina,
that they will withhold the fire brand, and
employ some of the shipping that may be
rotting at their wharves, in bringing them
back to New England.
Seriously, would not our neIghbors at the
South he doing an act of patriotism and put
ting money in their pockets, if, instead of
7~t.;.'s UP opposition to the protecting
duties, they would put their shoulders to the
wheels of the American System, or, at least,
remain neuter while we of the north are
willing to take the responsibility, and suffer
us to manufacture their raw material for the
supply of South American and other mar
kets, that the United States may get possess
sion Of those markets, before England estab-
lishes monopoly over every seaport on the
habitable globe Courier.

SLAVERY

An inhabitant of southernSt writes
thus TO friend in Pennsylvania, where he
formerly resided:
:" 1t was but yesterday as sat before the
door of my humble dwelling, that saw no
less than twenty-eight unfortunate black
men, all ironed and chained together, with
heavy chain, moving along, bare-headed
and bare-footed through the hot broiling
sun followed by troop of miserable look
ing women and children, and the whole driv-
en- by inhuman monsters, in the shape OF
men, armed with pistols to shoot down any
poor negro who might attempt to escape,
and with clubs and whips to drive forward
the weary wretches that might chance to
fall behind. Here were parents who had
been torn from their children children torn
| from their parents; husbands from their
| wives wives from their husbands-chained
! together like wild beasts-they were driven
along to be sold like brutes. To be sold to
inhuman taskmasters, inhabiting a sickly
country, where they must either drag out a
miserable life in servitude, fall victims tot
most horrid diseases, or should they attempt
to escape, become the prey of alligators or
venomous reptiles which abound in the
swamps of the Mississippi My feelings re-
volted, and my soul sickened at the sight,
and l closed my eyes on the horrid specta-
Gle. exclaimed, can this be land of lib
erty !"

NEW YoRK, Sept. IL.


A case has recently been decided by the
Supreme Court of New jersey, which in
voivefi point of some interest. The plain
tiffs, Gulick and Gulick, together with
Messrs. Ward and Bailey, went to the city
of Washington in 1923, to offer proposals
for carrying the mail between this city and
Philadelphia. While at Washington, an
agreement was made between Ward and
Bailey and the Gnlicks, that if the latter
would abstain from making any proposals
on their own account, or procuring any
other person to do it, the former would pay
them $1,000. Ward and Bailey, in con-
sequence procured the contract, but resist
ed payment. The amount was recovered
at the Circuit, in 1896; but motion for a
new trial was made, on the ground that the
consideration for the promise to pay the
$1,000 was illegal. At the present Septem-
Der term of the Supreme Court, it was de-
cided that the consideration of the promise
was in direct contravention of the policy of
the act of Congress, relative to contracts for
conveyance ofthe mail, and therefore illegal.
The verdict was set aside, and new trial
granted.

Miraculous ESCAPE. One of the sta
ges of Albany, recently on its way to
Whitehall, by the route of Salem and Gran
vile, on its arrival at the Tommohenny,
rapid and i'll bridged stream in the town
ship of Pittstown, found it considerably
swollen by the heavy rain of the preceding
night, and overlooking the road on the fur
Their side of the bridge. AS the stream had
been crossed that morning by wagons, the
driver, mt aware that it was rising, ventur-
ed in. The horses were Immediately carri
ed by the force of the current, off the road,
and the stage, with its II passengers, swept
down until it very provdentially lodged
against tree. The leading horses were
Immediately drowned, and the hinder brace
only saved by cutting them from the har-
ness. In this situation some travellers from
the north end found them. AS many as
could, clambcred up to the top of the stage,
while others, and among them a female,
were sitting in it, immersed to the middle
in water. A considerable number of per-
sons were about the shore, but not move
ment had they made in behalf of the i'm
ploring sufferers. And what a view does
it give of the nigSardly selfishness of human
nature, to be informed that when the trav-
ellers had timely arrived, and were about
constructing small raft, objections were
made that they would spoil their boards
The raft was, however, made, and having
been towed to the sufferers, they were, one
by one, merciiully brought to land, after
most imminent exposure for above an hour

ANOLD Boy. There is at the alms-house
at Bellevue, IN. " man by the name of
Ceely, who has reached the extraordinary
age of 109 years. He was born in The south
end of Wales, in 1920. In 177l he came to
New York. In '76, at the age of Sc, he en-
tered volunteer company of cavalry. Was
in the engagements at Flatbush, White
Plains, Long Island, &c. At White Plains
he was wounded by cut from the head to
the right eye-two pistol bullets in his leg,
and bayonet thrust on the breast bone.
He also received a tomahawk wound from
an Indian on the Genesee Flats. Last
year he walked to Sharon, Com $50 miles,
IN days. He never drank spirits until af-
ter 60 years of age. His step is still firm
his eye quick, and his memory good. He'is
probably the only man living who remem-
hers Gen. Wolfe, and the storming of Que
bee, at the capture of which he assisted.
