man, calling himself VIM. HARRIS, to this town
Friday, the 18th inst. and called at the StoreRoom
of Mr. JOHN CRANDALL, and purchased goods to
the amount of 1879 dollars for which he gave as col
lateral security note purporting to have been drawn
by Philip S. Yates, of Dorchester county at ninety
days, for $50 dollars. Mr. Cranda knowing Mr. Yates
character to be that of correct and punctua man,
let Harris have the goods he wanted-they were ac-
cordngly put board the Steam Boat in the morning.
On showing the note to a friend after the contract had
been made and the goods delivered some suspicion
arose respecting the genuneness of Mr. Yates sigma
ture-Nlr Crandall Immediately despatched his brother
to Mr. Yates house to know the fact-Mr Yates was
fortunately at home and declared that he had Civ
en- such note nor did he know any thing of the per-
son who had presented it.
Mr. Crandall was fortunate enough to recover his
goods, they not taken from board the boat
when she arrived at Cambridge, the gentle
to be found, having either got alarmed forgot
ten he had made the purchase
We notice the above circumstance that others may
be on their guard, Mr. Harris if that is his
may probably again try his hand at a similar specua-
tion-Mr Crandall will give reward of twenty dol
lars for his apprehension, in order that he may have
the pleasure OF treating him the law directs-Har-

Horrible !-Mendum and Whiteford two murlerers
confined in Chesterfield Jail, whose execution was to
take place yesterday, cut their threats Monday last
to avoid the disgrace of public execution. Whiteford
the murderer G. Anderson, made the first attempt He
drew several times across his throat but he
still survives. Mendum, who murdered Mosbv, did
the work efectually. He placed knife (secret-
" furnished hm against the wall, and by the impulse
of his body, thrust it about four inches deep into the
lower part of the breast but, believing says the Com
per, that this was not sufficient to cause his DEATH he
took his razor, and placing himself opposite to the
mirror, drew it several times his throat drawing
the flesh down to give greater certainty to the stroke
and in few seconds fell and expired without groan
Another of the prisoners, who was in the same room,
advanced towards Mendun to wrest the razor from
him--but Mendum told him to stand off-and White
ford, with his own throat cut, seized small stick, gave

FIRST FLOWERS.
First flowers of the spring time,
Bright gems of the year,
All lovely and blooming,
How fresh ye appear!
Springlng upin the garden,
The hedgerow and vale,
Enriched by showers,
And famed by the gale,
Your beauty is transient,
But, oh. it is sweet
As the dcep-felt emotion,
When absent friends meet.
Alter dangers surmounted,
And miseries flown,
Their lips and looks telling
Of days that are gonci
Your herald-the tempest;
Your bed--the cold earth,
Unsheltered and sulless,
The place of your birth.
The snow drift is sweeping,
And dituly the morn,
From the eastward 10 stealing
To hail your return.
have low d your young blossoms,
They have ever brought JOY,
by regret unembittered,
Unchecked by u SIGH.
But notc, whilst gaze on
Your pale tender tlowers.
Each leaf tells the tale,
OF happier hours!
Of friends smiling round me,
Now laid III the tomb;
OF triendships-al withcrcd
Hearts stript Of their bloom;
hov'd eyes whose expression
Time never can steal,
Whist your blossoms the coming
Of spring-timc reveal,
Still, still we are welcome!
In sorrow or bliss,
kemorse never mipuleS
With feeling like this
AS first love 70 the bosom,
So you, to the year,
IN your innocent beauty,
And freshness appear!
The summer may bring US
Its sunshine and flower,
Pertaining the yallics,
Eutwining the bowers
Ger beds of sweet roser,
The zephyrs may fly
And breathe ON each flowrcl,
The same balmy sigh.
In loneliness bending,
Beneath the rough blast,
Your gentle forms raising,
When danger is past
Shining on! shining Oil!
Like Hope, We appear,
First flowers of the spring time,
Bright gems Of the year.

Very respectfully,
Your ob't seEv'.,

f3' Fbe Washington papers state the extraordinary
fact, that Dir. Van Ness appointedInster to Spain,
is not expected to go out for six months! WHY was
Mr. Van Ness appointed six months before the time
when Gen. Jackson resolved to recall Mr. Ever
ett' If 1t vas deemed expedent to permit Mr.. Ev.
erett to remain at Madrid SIX months longer, why
not await until the expiration of that time to appoint
his successor Is it true that the Laeo allows foreir
ministers to draw their salaries from the moment the
appointment is conferred upon them, And has Mr..
Van Ness been appointed six months before he will
be required to go, in order to give him the benefit OF
this provision of the law
We make these enquiries in fair spirit
We are informed that Mr.. Van Ness, has riof,t
to have his salary from the moment he ac-
cepts the appointment, under the legal presumption,
that the time intervening before his dcpa rture is nc
cesSarily devoted to the settlement of his privato
affairs But the law never could have contemplated
SIX months to be necessary for this object, and we
obliged to conclude from the facts of the case that
President Jackson in the abundance of his grace and
favor, has made Gov. Van Ness gratuity of 81 500
(six months salary out of the Treasury, by way of
compensation for lis Vermont services.

The Washington Telegraph says that Mr.. sswee-
ny lately dismissed from the P. Office for not being
Jackson man, is the correspondent of the IT, s. Ga
zete. We thought Duff would nose him out, or at
least, swear be knew all about him. The Phe-
nix Gazette however, says positively, that Mr..
Sweeny is not the correspondent Whoever he NAV
be, ne is shrcwd and clever fellow.

u Our country friends will find on the outer page,
reafrmDg the truth OF the anecdote about the Nor
thern Clergyman, and Gen. Jackson We believe
sincerely in ts truth. We have heard various anec-
dotes from different and unconnected and the most
respectable sources, establishing beyond question,
either the most composed and deliberate deceit OF
the part OF the President or, had rather believe
70 nc the case, state of entire mental bewiderment
Gentlemen soliciting to be retained in Office or soil
citing this favor for others would receive the most
confident assurances Of grace accompanied by ez-
pressions Of modest wonder that they should imapno
themselves or their friends any danger of removal!
The applicant would Of course leave the President en-
tirely satisfied with his royal promise The next
day, or within few days, he ees notification in
the public prints, that his friend for whom the pro-
mise was obtained was rerlored, without cause as
signed, and his office given to somebody else. Do
cases OF this description argue deceit or iu,beciEt19
We believe the last, for see no motive that the
President could have, IN deceiving in such cases. and
more particularly for few days only. There third
way OF solving the difficulty, but more discredtabIe
to him than either of the others It is, bv the SUD-
position, that Duff some of bis favorteg have in
fuence enough to make him forfeit his word delibe
rately pledged. This we should, however, still con-
strue as evidence of the confusion and imbeciitv Of
ms intellect. But leave it to others to define the
cause-we vouch for the fact
