A Jersey Uero;na. The Sussex Regis
ter, of yesterday, brings us the following
account Of serious tragedy i'll our vicini-
ty -
Female HcroiSm Mrs. williamson, Of
Asbury, Warren county, on Nlonlay night
last, during the absence of her husband,
heard some one enleaYorlng to effect an
entrance into the house. She enqured
who was there but the intruder dad net
heed her, and finally succeeded in forcing
the door. She then seized loaded gun,
and, threatening the villain with instant
death, demanded an answer still he was
silent, but deemed It prudent to retreat
Summoning fresh resolution, however, he
entered second time, and the dauntess
woman shot him down on the spot. She
then ran TO the house of Gen. Williamson,
her faher-n-law, a short distance off, for
assistance; which the old gentleman promtp-
ly FASTENED to procure, but on going to
arouse his negro man, he discovered that
he was absent and the thought immu-
diately struck him that his negro might pro-
badly be the offender whom Mrs w. had
shot. Sure enough, on repairing to the
scene of outrage, there he lay stilfened
corpse What horrid crime the villain
medtated can only he conjectured but
his temerty certainly merited death and
Mrs w. had the courage to inflict it.
Mrs. W. is a daughter of Mr. Drake, of
Washington, Morris Co. and was alone in
the house with her children.

We arc told that most shocking disas-
ter, arising from intemperance, occurred in
Beverly on Wednesday last, during the
sitting of the Temperance convention in
that place, Our readers in this neighbour
hood know, that it has been impossible to
purchase ardent spirits, in Beverly, for the
purpose of intemperancc, for several years
past. The very few drunkards there are
in the town are obliged to come to Salem
for supply. One of them, wretchod
young man, less than twenty one years Of
age, procured four gallons in this city, ON
wednesday, and became so much intoxici-
ted, that he was thrown from his vehicle
and very badly bruised and dsfgured. He
succeeded, however, in getting the liquor
safely home, and there the wretched beings

''There was nothing in the way of official
advancement, which could have expected

pressed upon me. in the most earnest and
flatterng manner by the President, at the
first moment of organizing his administra-

The charge against the late and present
Executive, of assuming powers belonging

ment is sustained by Mr.. Ryes in the
concluding paragraph of his letter.
every rejecting mind must have OBJ
served, with painful anxiety, the RAPID
growth Of Executive influence, within the
last few years, sustained by system of
party discipline and of organized de'su'st'a-
ton through the press, such as has never
existed, in any other country, pretending to
freedom, under the sun. If it shall be per-
mitted to continue, it must bring every
other Department of Government, and the
people of the States themselves, to the feet
of Executive power, and finally extingulsh
every sentiment Of independence and pub

themselves to say whether this shall be. 1t

WILD SCENES IN THE FORES1

We are surprised at not seeing this work
announced by some American publisher.
The interest excited by the tales and nara
tive, coupled with the great popularity of
the accomplished author, would, we should
suppose, ensure the sale of a very large
edition. We give sketch of thorough

some of John Cheney's feals before coming
to this region, and expected, of course, to
see one of those registering, cavprting, g,ruflle-
shirted blades, that had often seen upon
our western frontier, and was at first not a
little disappointed, when a slight looking
man of about seven and thirty, dressed like
a plain countrymap, and of peculiarly qui-
ct, simple manner was introduced to me as
the doughty SLAYER of bears and panthers;
a man that lived winter and summer three
fourths of tho time in the woods, and re-
al bonGfde hunter by profession. Nay,
there struck me as being something of the
ridiculous about his character when | saw
that this formidable Nimrod carried with
him, as his only weapon and insignia
of his art, a pistol and a jack -knife! Bu,
when, al my laughing at such toys, was
told by others of the savage encounters
which John, assisted by his dog, and aided
by these alone, had undertaken successfully
NOT to mention the number of deer which
he sent every winter to market--my respect
for his hunting tools was mightily increas-
ed, and few dsys in the woods with him
sufficed to extend that respect to himself, +"

The Baltimore Sun gives the following
among other April fool Jokes which were got
of on the lst
The next was more uninstifable trick.
A worthy disciple of Esculapius had scnrce=
ly opened his office, ere tall, stout fellow
entered, and cIasping his hands upon his abb
domlnal region, bent himself nearly double,
and screwed his face into a thousand contor-
tlons. ooh! doctor, OH he cried. "What
Is the matter, sir? sit down and tell me your
complaint" "0h oh such a pain /
shall die, know / SHALL" 90 no you
won't; thanks to the inestmabIe blessings
conferred upon mankind by the immortal
Nmrod, no nan need die unless he wishes
it. III relieve yon." "D--n Nimrod,--
make me blister plaster, and see thai it
fits" Young man, do not curse the ben
etactor of the human race. The reverad
Nim---" go quick, with the plaster"
The doctor, finding it useless to prescribe
as he wished, soon prepared large fly bis
ter, and made it doubiy strong and partcu=
larly good and wide. "1here, sir, is a plass
ter that will draw you to the top of the mon
ument." But will it fit, GoctorT' " les,
fit you like glove" Will it stickli
Yes, like needle" "Let me try, sir said

ter in his hands he suddenly and dexlerously

tor, and before he could remove the nauseous
mask, the rogue had dscamped."

THE COMET.

The comet. he j. on his way,
And singing as he flies;
The whzzlng planets shrink before
The spectre OF the skies.
All, well may regal orbs burn blue,
And SATELLITES turn pale,
Ten millions cubic miles ofhead;
Ten billion leagues Of tail!
On, on, by whstlng spheres of light,
He flashes and he flames;
He turns not to the left or right,
He ask them not their names:
One spurn from his demoniac heel
Away, away they fly.
Where darkness might be bottled up
And sold for 'ryriun dye
And what will happen to the land,
And happen to the sen,
If, in the bearded devils path,
Our earth should chance t. be!
Full hot and high the sea should boil,
Full red the forest glean-
Methought | saw and heard it all
In a dyspeptic dream.

And both were oath to die.

Upon baking egg;

Wrthe in the blisterng rays;
The herbage in his shrinking jaws
Was all fiery blaze.
