SEVERE REBUKE.


The Directors of the Transportation Com
pany met with severe and well deserved re-
buke for the mean and monopolizins spirit
which they evinced, by sending one OF their
steamboats, on an excursion from Providence
ou Saturday last, in opposition to the Rich
mond.
In compliance with the urgent request Of
many citizens of Providence, Warren and
Wexford, the Richmond was advertised to
make an excursion from those places on Satur-
day; and the Monopoly Directors thought
proper TO show their meanness by sending the
Rhode-lsland on the same route for half price
but they were treated as they deserved to be.
The Richmond started from Providence with
over 600 passengers, stopped at Warren and
took about 80 more, then went to Wexford,
where about 30 were brought off to her in
boats, aud then proceeded down the bay aud
round Newpor, light to Newport.
! The Rhode Island left Providence before
the Richmond, with, possibly, 100 passengers
IN all on board. went into Warren, where she
went down the west side of the bay to Newport.
An express was sent down to Warren in the
morning, who distributed haudbills about the
town, announcing the half price excursion -
but not one inhabitant Of Warren could be
found who would uphold such conduct by their
patronage; and the Rhode Island left that
place without taking single passenger The
inhabitants Of Warren did honor TO themselves
they deserved.
We have heard that the receipts OF the
Rhode Island on the excursion, down here, a
mounted to tcenty-eigH dollars and hdif!-
out of which a band of Music was to be paic
for!
We should think the Monopoly Director.
must feel rather small.

Fatal Accia'nt.-OnISatur night last,
about o'clock, two boys one about and
the other l2 yeals ofage, sons of Mr. George
w. Clifford and VIM. Cook of this place,
were found buried in the sand bank few
rods east of the Unitarian Meeting House.
The circumstances, as near as we can learn,
are these: The boys were playing in q hole
from which some individuals had, during
the day, been cartlng some sand. They
were lest seen in this place about o'clock
p. M. In consequence OF their not return
ing home as usual, the parents Of the
children became alarmed, and went out in
pursuit. They tracked to the sand bank,
and observing that the sand had but recently
caved in, commenced digging, fearing they
might have been covered up. In a few
moments both were discovered and taken
out lileIess. 1t is supposed that they must
have been buried about four hours. Fall

We publish in another column the pro-
ceedings of the Court Of Dauphin county, in
the " conspiracy case" Ii appears from
,bese proceedings that the prosecuting at
iorney was silly enough to disclose the ar
engagements which had been made by him
and his masters, to" convict the democratic
rebels, right or wrong" by packing an an.
tmasontc jury. Asan evidence of the truth
of his confession, it is stated that of the 46
jurymen summoned, 40 were antmasons,
and but 8 democrats;and this, too, in coun-
~ where the parties are nearly equally d-
svided. Could this be the work Of chance,
aor was it concerted act, as threatened
by Mr.. Fisher. Every one must be salts
%fed that the latter was the case, and had it
hot been for inability of Mr.. Fisher to keep
the secret, the rights and liberties OF the
defendants might have been sacrificed to
complete this deed Of villainy.

Rohan Potatoes are about as much the
rage as mulberry trees. They are rarely
bought by the bushel, because that would
involve too great an expenditure, but by the
dozen or single one! Mr.. Augustus Clark
in this town is selling them as high as 6
pennies piece or &c cents per dozen, at
which any reader can tell better than we
can, what they would reach by the bushel.
But after all, these potatoes at such prices
are doubtless profitable potatoes. Every
thing of this sort is valuable in proportion
to its capacity for reproduction, not leaving
out of sight its goodness. Hence, if one
Rohan will produce more than a bushel of
good sound nutrlcious potatoes, is it dear at
a sixpence? Many experiments have been
tried which establish the character of this
potatoe for an enormous yield. Aside from
its use for man what a capital root for cattle!
But perhaps we only waste ink and paper
by trying to persuade people to " feather
their own nests" by cultivating Rohan po-
tatoes NORTH. Conrier.

SINGULAR CASE OF MURDER.


There was murder committed on our
Levee, during Monday night attended with
some singular circumstances. A man by
the name of Thomas Berry came to this
city some two or three days since in a canoe
from the grand River, and from his singular
costume and strange actions, attracted at
tenlion, and was considered by many as
insane. The first particular notice taken
of him, we trace to the National Hotel where
he dned on Monday. lie sat at the table
till most of the boarders had left, OCCASION
ally changing his seat, and finally left with
out eating ANY thing paid his bill and de-
parted.
About IL o'clock on Monday night, the
watch on board the II. l.. Kinney OBJ
served man running towards the boat, and
as he approached the river bank faltcred and
fell partly into the river. On raising him
the poor man only exclaimed, Pm killed !
I'm killed = Just at this time Berry came
up, much excited and inquired, whats the
matter?' and from his actions, the watch and
others who had been called; suspiconed
him as the murderer, and on accusing him
of it,afer little hesitation he acknowledged
the crime, but said he was mistaken in the
person. He then went into the cabin Of
the Kinney, took light uncovered one OF
the cabin boys who lay asleep. and examin-
ed closely the face, holding his already
bloody steel in his hand, with evident in
tention of using il again should he recognize
the person as the sought for victim.
This excited the fears Of the officers OF
the boat, when they called in the city watch
and took Berry 10 the Calahouse. He,
however, resisted the officers with great
violence; and not until he was severely cut
! a. knocked down, could the officers succeed
in securing him. Yesterday he was exam
med before Justice Sheppard, and commit.
ted for trial in the Criminal Court at the
May term. The name of the murdered
man is George Gardner formIiy of New
York, where, we understand, he has a
mother, two sisters and two children.
We held a short conversation with the
prisoner Yesterday: previous 10 his commit
ment, land found him man of some inelh.
gence and evidently laboring under insanity
He says he was born in Ozark county
XIV. where his father now resides. His
fathers name is John Berry. lie says he
left Kentucky last about five years since and
has since been in this State. Among his
papers were receipts from the Land Office
at Springfield, Mo. for land in Rves co,
Also letters from Cape Girardeau, Mo. La
Grange, Mo- and Morgansvle, Ky. He
says he has two brothers in Rives county
in this state one named John, the other
Jonathan.

A NeW Gretna Green.--The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser says, " Buffalo is
becoming the Gretna Green of the Cana
das. Scarcely day passes but that some
Canadian lad takes his fair Dulcnea and
trips it over the border TO consumate in our
city the rites that make them twain one
flesh. This arises we presume not from
the fact that runaway matches become ne
cessary to avoid parental injustice or inter-
ference, but TO escape heavy tariff upon
matrimony.' TO get married in Canada
it costs some ten or fifteen dollars, in yam
kee land it is done for one dollar.

Washing Trees.-The following may
prove useful hint 10 those who are anxious
tha: their trees should possess beautiful
appearance. The Boston Cultvator recon-
mends lie from wood sshes or from potash
as the best wash for trees. 1t should not
be applied until May or June when it will
kill the moss and all the insects that adhere
to the bark. There is small animal re-
sembling louise to be found on most young
trees. They never appear to move except
ing in the month of June, aud then they
are not great travellers. The lie above ma
med, if put on in June, efiectually clears
the tree of this insect.

Federal Carbiing and FdiSehoods. s.-An
extra from the Intelligencer Office the size
of half sheet of that paper, was issued
yesterday, filled with perverted account
of the proceedings on the indictment againnt
Messrs. Barton, Diller, and others. Ste
vens, Burrowes, and co. and their counsel,
feeling that they had been signaIly over
thrown and disgraced by the superior talent
of Mr.. Barton and the rottenness of their
cause, have no doubt resorted to this dis
honorable expedent to save their reputa-
tons abroad. They have written speeches
for Mr.. Fisher which he never uttered; put
language into the mouth of Mr.. Barton,
which he never used, and garbled and falsi-
fed the entire proceeding of the court and
counsel. Such conduct is only worthy of
the vile traitors of December, and their in
famous abettors. 1t is well that their de-
pravlty and baseness is so generally known,
that none will be imposed upon by the ir
malicious fabrications. Keystone.
