OF people as happily described by the name
OF Croakers. who are to be found, i believe
IN all parts Of the world, and whose anna

things as they are. had arrived, they

GTThe following paragraphs con-
corning the mails were omitted last
week, but we still think they ought to
be inserted "by way Of memorandum. -
Great allowance, surely, should be
made for the late wrt tched state of the
roads, and the excessive weight OF
the mails-though believing that many
OF the delays have happened through
imperfect arrangements or a want OF
proper eXertions: but we are suffering
by the blunders or carelessneSs, or
criminal conduct, ofsome of the deputy
postmasterS even in our own neighbour
hood, as it were, for which we cannot
frame any sort of excuse. Take the
two following cases, by which we have
gust lost two valuable subscribers, and,
as they personally stated, because of
the uncertainty of the mails.
One, resident at or near Allstan's,
Maryland-said, though there were
two mails week to that Office, he was
often two or three weeks without re-
ceivlng a REGISTER; and that, since
last fall, about one half of the numbers
issued never reached him.
The other, at Morgantown, Virginia,
was supplied as irregularly as the gen.
tleman at Allstan' s-but was more for.
tunate in ultimately receiving about
two-thirds of his papers!
To both, two or three REGISTERS
came by single mail.
If any change has been made in the
packing of this paper, it is for its better
security; yet the slime has been" when
it was carried, for fifteen years, to per.

a single number in all that time-as

TRIAL FOR MURDER. Amos Minor
was tried last week at Providence for the
murder, some months ago, Of John Smith,
OF Foster, X. |. The facts were briefly as
follows Miner was removing from Con
necticut into Rhode Island, and was over
taken on his way by Byron Wheaton, a
creditor, and another person. as he was
sitting under tree by the road side 10 the
town of Foster. Wheaton requested
payment Of the debt, but Miner said it
was not due, and even if it were, he
was not able at present to pay it. In
the mean time one of his daughters
moved off with two bundles of the
articles that had been purchased of
Wheaton, who requested his assistant
to stop her. He did so-but as no
could be effected between
he parties, Wheaton procured q writ,
md also a Constable (the deceased) to
serve ii upon Miner. The latter car

;o,rno,s the sudden disappearance, on
the eighth inst. OF Mr.. JOSEPH j.
FpoTnIyGuANr, a young gentleman from
salem. Mass. who was about to enter
the Oneida Institute, at Whitosboro'.-I
ON that dav, he had been at Utica, and
had received about seventy dollars IN
.cosb ot one of the banks. In the even
inc. he was at his boarding house in
Wbitesboro,' writing to his father
Being in want of light, saysthe Sentinel,
he stepped out, as is supposed, to procure
some candles, and from that time to ms
has not been heard from. No alarm was
inspired by his absence, as 1t was sup
posed he had gone to lodge at the lnst'-
,ute. or with some friend in the ncighbor-
hood. Several days elapsed without
any notice being taken OF his absence
Feeling surprised however at not hear
;nc from him, the lady with whom he
hoorded mentioned his sudden and sin
gular disappearance. A search was I'M
med;atelv commenced and in conse-
ouencc of some Circumstances two black
mon were arrested. One of them was
discharged-the other detained in Gus
tody, until further search or con'essp"
had elected more certain information -
Since his examination, the excitement
has painfully increased, by further DIS
closures from this black man, whose
name is George Hazard. lie now
states. that on Saturday succeeding the
disappearance of rockingham, he was
hired by a certain tavern kccpef ID
Whitesboro' to take the body OF Fro'h'
ingham to Utica, and throw it into thc
Mohawk. lie states that he took the
body late in the night, from the hay-IDit
or this man into a single-horse Wagon
and brought it to Utica, and threw It IN
To the river from the lower bridge,
known as Nlillcr's bridge. There wnrc,
as he declares, no weights attached 10
the body, the feet only being tied toseth-
,cr =.
. Immediately on the disclosure d this
! confession, great numbers came from
d, Whitesboro' and, together with persons
from Utica, commenced dragging the
river below the bridge. The testimony
of the negro was confirmed by The ap'
pcarancc Of blood on the Wagon, wh'I
and harness. The tavern keeper reier
