SALEM, Mass. April Is.
The Misunderstanding has transpired since
our last calculated to afford any elucidation of
the late horrid and mysterious assassination in
this town. In the state of excitement, anxiety
and alarm which has existed in our community
since the dreadful deed was discovered, it is not
strange that numerous reports should be spread
which have no real foundation, and that the most
triiling circumstances should be magni6ed into i'm
portanCe when related in conneXion with the muir
der. The state of our town for the last eight
days, has reminded us of the lines of Pope
" The Aging rumors gath red as they ro''l,
Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told.
Ard all who told il added something neY,
And al who heard 4 made enlargement too
In ever, ear it spread, on ever. tongue IT grew"
One fact has come to our knowledge since our
last, which we believe has been well authentica-
ted-that on two different nights previous to the
night of the murder, man was seen about the
premises of Mr.. White, under circumstances
which leave no doubt that he had some evil de
sign.
The packet ship Napoleon, Captain Smith,
which sailed from this port ON the 9th of March,
arrived out on the 29th: her arrival at Liverpool
was knownn this city yesterday, which was only
TWENTY-FIVE DAYS from her departure.

DIALOGUE.

.Mr. SpylceH. Good morning, neighbor
Sharpwell. | see you've got Joe Miller at
work for you to-day.
Mr. Sharp,ceu Yes. Joe is good
hand, you know, if he viii keep sober.
SpyiceH. So have heard. But how do
you manage bim2 Do you give him any
grog
.Sharp,ceH. Yes: when I engage him for
single days work. But when | hire him
for month, at haying, I give him none at
all.
Spy,cen All! how is that If rum is
good one day, should think it would be
good every day.
SharpuoeN. You don't understand how
such fellows as Joe Miller are to be made
profitable. You hire a different sort OF
men. Joe Miller will do monstrous days
work, once in while, if you give him just
rum enough to keep up his courage, and not
enough to upset him. But he is good for
nothing, the next day nor for much, a
week afterwards. You see, then, ichy l
give him rum, when he is at work for me a
single day, but none at all when he is at
work for me a month.
SpytceH. But is it not cruel to take such
an advantage of his appetite, and get an
extraordinary days work out of him by
making him rum crazy, SO that he over
works himself!
SharpweN. Why--as to that--it's his
own lookout. 1t stands me in hand &c
make the most out of my hired help.
SpyieeH. But is it honest in you to make
Joe do more for you than he is able, wher
you know that he cannot do half as much
for your neighbor, tomorrow, as he ha:
done for you, to-day? What you get erirO
out of him, by rum, is ilched from those
who employ him after his strength is ex
hausted.
Sharpi0sH. Every man must look out FOL
himself these hard times.
Spylcei. Hard times! What, but rum
has made the times hard ? But you are
teaching me how to look out for myself
shall take care how hire any of your Jo
.lIillers. And l shall as soon as possible
move into the town of F., where III,
cold water society has put down the drink
ing and selling of rum, and where there ar
no paupers to support. If you choose +
make Joe .Miilers of your workmen, yo
may employ them Tomorrow as well as 10
day, for all me. And you may find it diff
cult to get sober workmsn, while you en-

CAUSE OF MORNING FOG OVER RIVERS.
A fog is formed whenever watery vapor
arising from the earth meets with colder
air, which condenses it. A river does not
become sensibly colder during the night
than it was the preceding day, but the air
over the land becomes a number of degrees
colder, and the vapor from the river, which
is nearly as much by night as by day,
coming into contact with colder air, is con-
denssd into fog,

A SCENE IN THE BRITIsH CHANNEL.
{" AS we left land to the larboard, we were
gratifed by the sight of two fine Indiamen,
homeward bound, that shot thwart our bows
within hail. Their sails were all set, and,
while we rolled from side to side with eve
ry wave, they glided smoothly along, as if
impelled by some invisible hand. Their
decks were covered with troops and sail
ors, every cabin window was filled with
passengers, and in the chains stood namer-
GUS servants, who came out to gaze at u.s.
AT such spectacle as this, the work of hui
man hands, proudly conveying hundreds of
human beings across the broad ocean, hu-
man frailty might be forgiven for the flush
of pride which glowed in our cheeks as we
watched the majestic movements of these
mighty machines; but how soon is man
brought to his proper level lat sea, espec-
tally, where we feel that one billow, raised
with single gust of wind, may sink us in
to the mass of water; and when we lay our
heads on our pillows, with the waves rush
ing round us, and think that there is only a
plank between us and eternity, we cannot
but acknowledge how necessary is divine
aid. Nothing gives us so correct an idea
of the vastness of creation, of the laws
which keep all things in their proper plac-
es, as the contemplation of the broad ex-
panse of waters; and nothing humbles a
man more towards his God, than to feel,
turn which way he will, there is no human
assistance to be found"

DANCING. Dancing, under proper limita-
tons, is highly salutary species of exer-
else; but when too long continued, or too
violently performed, it may be attended with
very pernicious effects.
The exertion of so many muscles as is re-
CURED in dancing, and the quick inspiration
OF a warm Initiated atmnsnhera in a nrnnraad
as great extent, almost, as in fever.
When to this is added the use of liquors
and cordials of heating nature, which
augment, still more, the motion of the heart,
or of ices and iced drinks which suddenly
chill the system, together with exposure in
state of perspiration, and an insufficient
clothing, to the cold night air-and that
unnatural excitement by which sleep is ban
ished, at the very period when nature calls
for repose, we need not be surprised that
splitting of blood and consumption of the
lungs, should be frequent among the vota-
ries of the ball room or the midnight assem-
bly,.
We have said that dancing, in modera-
ton, is a salutary exercise. But it is so
only when every limb and muscle is allowed
to participate naturally, and without re-
straint, in the motion thus communicated to
the body. When, on the contrary, dancing
is performed in dress by which this is pre-
vented, to say nothing of the total absence
of all grace, injury, and that of very seri-
Gus character, is extremely liable to result.

LARGE WHEELS. The ease with which
weight may be transported upon great
wheels OF large dimensions. has been long
and well established fact; but, at the same
| Time, 1t Is one of which the builders of car
RACES have never SO fully availed them
selves as they should have done. In
passing over rough or unevenly paved
road, small wheel sinks into every lit
tie hollow, and the axle, if noticed, would
De found to describe line almost as curved
and irregular as the surface of the road.
large wheel on the same road would par
take but slightly of its inequalities, and the
line described by the axle, would be found
to devlate but little from straight line
indeed, with wheel sufficiently large. the
axle would describe a perfectly straight
line; in the latter case, the friction. and.
consequently, the draught, would De little
more than if the carriage ran upon a rail-
road.
The larger, therefore, we use the wheels.
the nearer we approach this favorable point
of effect. 1t has been advanced as an OBJ
lection to the use of large wheels, that thew
add greatly to the weight of the vehicle
that they do SO, will not deny; but on the ,
"AN3 1h0 WHICH large
wheels have over small ones are SO yefv
great, as to much more than counterbalance
the trlfilng increase of weight Several
other objections have been made; but these
as well as the former, have been almost
wholly removed, by the introduction of met
al wheels
The bent drletree is an invention that has
not been so extensively applied as its adj
vantage merits. We find, for instance. that
brewers drays, stone trucks, and carriages
for the removal of large iron work, &c. &C.,
which carry most immense weights, are
placed upon the very smallest wheels for
he convenience of loading and unloading.
By the application of the bent axletree,
arge wheels, SO highly necessary in these
cases, might have been employed without
raising the body of the carriage. The re-
noval of the greater portion of weight from
he small fore to the large hind wheels,
will be found to answer in a perfect manner,
all the purposes of using large fore wheels
the object to which carriage builders have
hitherto directed their attention.

Be CAREFUL WHOM you MARRY. A young
lady will be very unsafe in marrying a young
man who uses ardent spirits either temper
ately or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS more wo-
men have heen rendered wretched on ac-
count of drunken husbands, than by any
thing else. When Lavina, and Laura, and
Margaret, were led by their husbands L.
hymen's altar, their husbands only took
little. Lavina was the mother of four chill
dren, when the sheriff sold the last bed she
had, for her husbands drains. Laura had
three lovely babes, when her husband was
carried to Jail, ,and she left without bed,
bread, or home. Margaret had two children,
when she followed their scottish and british
father to an untimely grave, and she and
her babes were cast upon the world penny
less. Beware, young ladies, of him who
can drink dram even in week. Don't
marry reformed drunkard, as man hard
ly ever gets clear of this awful disease. If
you want to be miserable-if you want bab-
blings-if you want wounds without cure
a husband with red eyes, &C., marry man
who drinks, tcho takes a little, and you are
more likely to have the above .enioyments
than in marrying any other character. If
man cannot give up his dram, he can sac
rifce the happiness or property of any wo-
man by taking httte.-SOuthern Telegraph.

TAKING WIFE. Mr.. H, a rich
English gentleman, who in the first year of
the Greek insurrection was making scien-
tiic tour in Egypt, happened to be at Cairo
when Greek girl from Gambia, nine years
of age, was offered for sale. Mr.. III. bought
the child, sent her to England, and had her
educated with great care, and when she
had attained the age of fifteen, married her.
On the 9TH September, Mr.. II. with his
wife, arrived from Malta, and went to her
native place in the interior of the island, to
let her parents take part in her fortune.
They were not little astonished to see
their daughter, after separation Of nine
years as lady of consequence, dressed
like a princess, and surrounded with SER
wants, but refused, however, to accompany
her. The Greek revolution affords many
such episodes.
