 of n century-still he makes no display in e0uipage, or attire, but moves from place to place, with as much simplicity and unOsten- iati0n as the plainest cultivator of the soil. From youth to the present period, his whole life has been devoted to the service of his country. Although elevated to the highest post of honor known to the Constitution, with his great intellect, and vast requirements, yet this man readily attends to the smallest matters, with tine utmost precision, regard less of his own comfort or convenience.
 A few days ago, a gentleman from the South, travelling to the Eastward, on enter- ing the cars at the lower depot in Baltimore, missed his pocket book, containing money and valuable papers. Subsequently, the pock- ct book was found-thc facts were stated to President Adams, who happened to be in the following train uf cars (which left three hours latcr) who kindly offered to take possession of the package, and endcavor 10 find the owner. ...
 Punctual to his engagement, on his arrival at Philadelphia, without moments lost time, he left the cars, and under the rays of a burning sun, with the thermometer at %, he sought. and found the owner, before seeking nevolcRce and kindness, are rare indeed, but LuCJ OIC Oa OttS OA bAAS 6A~e~SS"'S among living men.-Bah.

 Murder.-On the night of the 16th, man named George Collins, living on Magothy river, in Anne Arundel county, Md, while under the influence, as is supposed, of ardent spirits, shot his son Richard, aged lS years, and killed him on the spot and had another of his sons named Joshua, fastened up in one of the rooms of his house with the intention of shooting him also, but he succeeded in cf- fecting his escape by breaking through the window, and while in the act drumming from the house was fired at by his father, and Se- verely wounded in the arm.
 State Rights.-Thc Charleston Mercury asks us, Would the Sur recommend US 10 come to Clay" We answer yes. It was side by side with Clay in supporting the war-in procuring an honorable peace, in rcsuscitat- ing our dilapidated finances, that Calhoun that fame and reputation, which up to this time has sustained him, and which even now sustains him, even while he the arm of the Executive in SUD- porting the Sub Treasury. ,, g,,'..-

This is democracy, the true and only is it that we do not find such Q man as Calhoun with us We look lpon all the recent movements in South Ca- rolina, in relation to currency, sub treasury, exchange and banks, brought forward with he view of making the South independent of the North, as it is called, as delusive in heory as it will be found unavailable in practice. The trade and exchanges are re- yulated by circumstances md events beyond political contrOl-the States, instead of being independent of each other, ought to be mu- tually dependent and closely allied-it is the only security we have in sustaining State Rights.-N.

 MT. Brown, worthy and industr ous pre- vision dealer in Derne street, now thirty y-siX years of age, in his eighteenth year, had the misfortune to have the right humerus frac- ured nearly in the middle. He was hold ing, under disadvantages, an enraged COW )y the horns in some unexpected move nent of the unruly animal, both fell, and he bone of his right arm was broken in the all. Under the care of Q judicious surgeon, . reunion was favorably going on but be- ore the curative process had boon, complet- d, Mir. Brown accidentally had another fall, md broke open the old fracture again. Not most vigilant and untiring de- st,< s~s.. lsxtsl l.A mites would not adhere and to the surprise # the medical attendant, the shaft of each ,art of the divided bone began to diminish lction of the absorbents, the whole of the lrmbone, between the shoulder and elbow, was at length completely removed, and that co without any open ulcer, so that not a sim gle vessel of it was left. It has now been in this state for many years, and probably will remain so for life, as there will never be a disposition of bony matter again in that place, nor even cartilaginous substitute, which will materially change 1t from the present singular condition. nH "I
 Mr. Brown presents the spectacle of one short and one long one. The right forearm and hand are of Q size to correspond with lhe sound one or the left side, and, under certain circumstances, are equally as strong. Ordinarily the right arm swings hither, like q thong to weight at the extremity for the forearm and hand, with reference to the di- vision above the elbow, constitute pendu- lum, csciIlating according 10 the movements of the body. Although it k impossible to push with the defective arm, he csA draw a burden towards himself with 1t as strongly and tenaciously as with the other and. in so doing. the muscles are elongated, so tha. the arm IS extended 10 it's original length.
 When the resistance is removed, the mus cles instantly shorten themselves about six inches. To show the perfect non resistance of the apparatus of muscles, arteries, veins and nerves, in the soft, homeless space, we saw him twist the palm of his hand, the other evening, twice round, which consequently presented the strange anomaly of having all
