CONVICTION FOR MURDER.

We learn from letter published in the Sails.
bury Carolnian that at the late session of the
Iredell IN. c. superior court, John Hoover Of
that county was arraigned for the murder Of his
own slave. 1t appeared from the evidence that
be had purchased the slave IA woman) about
eight months before her death, and treated her
SO cruelty as to impair her health. On the
morning ofthe day Of her death, struck her
with cudgel which he picked up near her, for
some alledged improperly. and fslled her to the
ground, rendering her insensible for time
Ho had her borne to a log and chained to it,
where she remained for the remainder OF the day
About sunset she was released and in attempting
to reach the kitchen she fell. She was then
conveyed to the house and died in a few hours
The jury after able arguments from the counsel
on both sides and an impartial charge by Judge
Dick, retired, and in a few minutes returned
with verdict Of murder. A more outrageous
caso we have seldom seen stated. The miserable
wretch is an object Of pity for his violent tenn.
per, and fit subject ofpunishn,ent tor his brutal
indulgence of it.

TIP cHIHPANzEE.

The arrival and exhibition of Chmpanzee,
at the Masonic Hall. in our city, will certainly
be very fitting occasion for US to gve an ac-
count of this animal.
This Ch,mpanzee was captured in the interior
Of Africa, about 100 miles from Grand Bassa, in
the dense portion Of its native forest. 1t was
taken by shooting its mother while she was
nursing it.
The Chimpanzee ranks higher than the Orang
Outang, both in bodily and intellectual faculties.
The Orang Outang is native of Sumatra, Bor-
neo and other places Of the Indian Islands, but
the Chimpanzee is a native of the western coast
of Africa.
Of the physical differences between these
animals the lower limbs of the Chimpanzee are the
largest and frmest. The Orang Outang is or
ganized for arboreal habits, and SO indeed Is the
Chimpanzee, but still it is not so exclusively
organized as the Orang Ou,ang. The palm Of
the feet or hinder hands may be fairly applied to
the ground, and the hipjoint is secured by the
internal ligament as in man. The arms reach
only little way Glow the knee, and both the
hands and feet are broad short, and have less OF
the hook.like character so remarkable In the
Orang Outang.
The skulls of the two animals differ material
ly, There is a ridge in the Orang Outang'
''beginning above each orbit, at the angle OF the
temporal bone, and passing obliquely upwards
meets at the top where the frontal bone joins the
parietal bones, and forms bold, strong keel, (as
in the H ,ena.) But in the Chlmpanzee there Is
no ridge along the skull, which is small and OF
an oval figure, with marked supraciiary pro.
lection"
The expression of the face of the Chimpanzee
we are describing is very solemn. lis hair is
black, while that Of the adult Orang Outang is
red. The stature ofthe full grown Chimpanzee
is four feet four or five inches. The white beard
spread over the muzzle, augments its appearance,
of solemnily, and gives quite tho indications OF
grave old age; and we think it has correctly
been described "as much resembling an old. bent
diminutive negro" Its checks are deeply fur
rowed; and by Its examining every object pre-.
sented to its view with great consideration and
thoughtfulness, The most casual spectator is
amused with the philo>ophic-like gravity Of its
aspect and demeanor. 1t is the only living spe
cimen in America. At the London Geological
Gardens, we believe, they have a young CHM
panzee.-Philadelphia Saturday Courier.

growing of course he has $4,000 to buy
at present prices before he can fulfil his
contract. To depress the price he set q ru-
NOR afoat at the north that there were
100000 growing,in the neighborhood OF Rich.
mond. This led to inquiries by which 1t was
ascertained there are not more than SOO,OOOO
A similar rulnor in regard to the number
in the neighborhood Of Mobile resulted in in.
quiries which showed the number within 30
miles of that city to be only few hundred
thousand, and rot sufficient for the demand in
Alabama. A contract has since been made at
the north for 10000 trees to be shipped to

And So my grog I'll throw away,
And that shall be an end ont.
Clear the house! the tarnal stuff
Itshan't be here 50 handy;
Wife has given the winds her snuff,
So now here goes my brandy!
Chorus-Clear the house, &c.
Our fathers, though sturdy folk.
Were sometimes rather skittlsh;
And SO they wouldn't wear the yoke
Brought over by the British.
Yonder, on old Bunker's head,
From thoir necks they shook it;
They fred off all their lead,
And then they had to hook it.
Cdorus-Yonder, on, &c,
But though they Fl, and run away,
They warn't bit of towards,
They lived to fight another day,
When lookin Gin'ral Howe wards.
What could then the Gin'ral dc
For his own salvation
Why, he 'cuss'd and quit the U.
niversal Yankee nation.
Ciorus-what could then, &c.
The ty,ant that our fathers smoked
Lay skulking in tea pot;
There's now worser TO be choked,
In hottie, jug, or wee pot:
Often in glass he shows
What he calls his 'body;'
And often hides up to the nose,
In bowl oftoddy.
Chorus-Often in glass, &c.
Sometimes he crceps up through the slim
Stem of very fine pipe;
And sometimes plunges for swim,
All over in wine pipe;
But he's tickled most Of all,
when he hears the summons
Down his favorite pipes to crawl
The pind- -pipee Of the rum'uns
Chorus-But he's tickled, &c.
And when he gets the upper hand
This tyrant, base and scurvy-
He strips man Of house and land,
And turns him topsy-turvy.
Neck and heels he binds him fast.
And says that he is his'n;
And let's HIM have, rent-freo at last,
A poor.house or prison.
Chorus-Neck and heels, &c.
And now, says Jonathan. tow'ids rum
I'm desperate unforgiven,
The tyrant never more shall come
Into the house live in;
Kindred spirits too, shall in
to outer darkness 90 forth
whiskey, Teddy, Julep, Gin,
Brandy, Beer and SO forth.
Chorus-Kindred spiiits, &c.
While this COLD WATER fills my cup,
Duns dare not assai me-;
Sherifs shall not lock me up,
Nor my neighbors bail me
Lawyers will never let
Choose me for defendant
Till to death to pay my debt,
WILL BE INDEPENDENT.
Chorus-Lawyers will l never lei. &c.
