| Poisonous effects of White Lead.-A person living
in Georgia recently carried off his movable property
consisting of eight negroes and three horses to avoid
the payment of his debts-the property found in
South Carolina, attached, and the negroes for safe
keeping confined in the jail of Abbevile District.
While in close confinement, the inside of the jail was
painted with white lead which caused in about ten days.
the death of four of the negroes, the most likely and
valuable of the number. They all died, with violent
coughs proceeding doubtless from inhaling the poison
GUS fumes of the fresh painted room. The remaining
negroes and the horses sold for less than $3.50, two
thirds of which consumed by costs of different
Einds leaving, out of property worth when commit
ted to the care of the sheriff of Abbeville District at
least $1,000, riAe more than 5000. to be scrambled
for by the creditors and their lawyers.

WILD PIGEoNs.-We have before witnessed such
mutudes of wild pigeons have appeared amongst us 10
the present season. Focks extending miles in length have
many days been passing the hills and presenting
novel interesting appearance But what is most extra
ordinary and notice them, their encamp
ment about ten miles from this place, s. W. direction,
where they built their nests and raising their young
This upwards of nine miles in length and four
in breadh-the lines regular and sraight-wlthin which.
there scarcely tree, large or SMALL that is not covered
with nests They such constant roaring by the flap
ping their wings that persons going into the encamP
ment great difficulty hearing each other speak, Every
thing throughout their camp appears to be conducted in the
most perfect order They take their turns regularly in setting
and in feeding their young; and when any of them killed
pon their by the sporsen others Immediately supply
their places We inclined believe that they have in
part adopted Mr. " OWENS Community SYSTEM as the whole
appears to be &c common stock business
The Squads the young Called are now sueienty
large to be considered by Epcures better for rich dish than
the old ones-and they beng caught and carried OFT
by Wagon loads.
