during violent dispute with his wife, IN the
course OF which both parties became much en-
ragged, undertook TO administer little salufd,y

slight blow on the back Of her neck. The wo-
man Instantly fell, and became, apparently, i'm

On removing handkerchief from her shoulders,
the woman, TO the great CONSERVATION of all pre-
sent, started up, assumed mechanic attitude,
and proceeded TO finish opprobrious term
which she was applying to her husband when he
struck her the blow that appeared to have pro-
duced such serious result!
1t was ascertained, on subsequent investigation,
that pin, which confined certain portion of
her garments TO her neck, was, by the force of the
blow, driven through the integuments and spine
until it reached the spinal marrow, and was the
cause of the instantaneous suspension of all the
functions Of the body and mind. She was re-
stored to consciousness, and the full possession
Of all her faculties, so soon as it was removed.

Mississippi. i.-Great distress is said to pre-
vail In many counties of Mississippi. Extensive
plantations are thrown out Of cultivation, and y-
ing waste, for the want of hands to till them, the
slaves having been seized under execution and
carried off by the sheriff. Every paper that comes
from that quarter is filed with advertisements of
negroes, lands, DC. TO be sold in satisfaction of
Judgments. This state of things had created
quite an excitement. Public meetings were about
to be called, to take into consideration the dis
ressng situation of the people. We are glad to
learn, however, that adispositon every where pre-
walls 10 respect the laws. On this point, the Mis-
sissppian remarks ,ha, there is very little of the
mobaw spirit in Mississippi, much as had been
said abroad. in relation TO the subject. The people
seem TO be convinced there has arrived crisis
In our affairs, when property, to a certain extent

takes place, the better for all parties. Such is
the correct view Of the subject TO attempt
resistance, would be useless, would result in no
beneficial effect, and would destroy the reputation
Of those involved in it, as we'll as the character

fruits Of the wild and extravagant land specula-
tons which lately so extensively ragged in the
country. 1t would seem from the course Of events
that, by our forgetfuiness, the experience Of the
past is lost upon us, and that about every twenty
years we have to learn the same lesson anew

our readers abroad, we say tat as we nse The
