Horrible RarbaritN.

The wife of Joseph Jellison, OF BROOKS, IN lhis
county came near being murdered, by having not
lead poured into her ear. Her husband mas oeen
examined before Magistrate, but was not recog-
nized to appear at Court All the material cir
cumstances which we can gather are these The
family consisted of MIR. Jellison and wife, and
three small children. lie retired to bed early,
and requested his wife to retire early, say ing That
he wished an early breakfast, as he was bound
away. She did not, however, retire until about
10 clock. Her husband slept upon the back
side of the bed and the bed was against the wall
of the house. and her infant child was with her,
About two o'clock she was awakened by sensa-
sion as though her head was on fire, and scream
ed Her husband seized hold of her and aske d
what was the matter, but whether he came from
the back side of the bed, was on the bed or was
standing beside the bed, she could not tell. She
told him to get some water and pour INTO her ear,
whichlrclieYed her some what. They sat up TO-
gether the remaining part ofthe night he recelv-
ing nothing but kind treatment, though no phys
ician was sent for. Nothing was seen by her of
any ladle or shovel, but she found some pelces OF
lead in the bed in the morning. and her neck and
shoulder was burnt little, as also her child ; but
her ear in the part exposed to sight, was not burnt
at all. The physicians testified that the cavity
in the ear was filled with lead some fusible
matter-that it was visible upon examination, and
that the cavity of the ear was so hrnly hlled
that they could not move it with their lnstru-
ments, though they had taken out several pieces.
The woman, as may be supposed, has nearly if
not wholly lost her senses, and whether she will
survive is doubtful. 1t is not probable from her
situation, that she could give very accurate ac-
count of all that transpircd after her conscious
ness, and how long 1t was after the time the lead
was poured into her ear and her consciousness, no
one can tell We have never before had occasion
to give publicity to such tale OF horror

IHE DISPOSITION KNOWN BY THE VOICE.
Sitting. few evenings since, in some company, and
having just listened to music, we CHANGED TO take
notice. that in ordinary discourse, trords were
spoken in perfect aotes that some Of the company
used Fights. some ffths, some thirds; and that the
person whose discourse the most pleasing, used
cords as TO their tone, consisting mostly of
and the discorGs only such as made up har-
nonJ. The same person was undoubtedly the
most afable, pleasant, and best natured in the COM
pany. From this difference of music in speech, we
may conjecture that of tempers. The Doric Mood
sounds gravity and sobrety the Iy dian, buxomness
and freedom the Phtygian. joliy and youthful
levlty the Ionic is stier of storms and distur-
Dances arising from passion And why NAV we not
reasonably suppose, that these whose speech natur-
ally runs into those notes, have the dispositions they
express So likewise from the fines: -semi6rieoes
speak temper dull and pIhegmaiic; minims grave
and serious; crotchets prompt wit; quarers ve-
hemency of Passion.-scods always speak in qua
GERS We are decidedly of opinion that by attend
eng to the natural tone of the voice, we may Judge
pretty accurately of the disposition.

Bolts and Upshur---dIssOlutiOn of the un-
iOn---agaln!
Mr. Wise has addressed letter to the Hon. A
P. Upshur, Secretary ofthe Navy, communicating
that part of Mr. Bolts speech, in which Mr.. Up
shur is charged with having advocated in con-
versation with Mr.. b, openly, auo'cedly, and IN
disguiSely the immediate dissolution of the Union,
,cithout qualification, condition or contingency, .
Mr. Upshur denies the charge and says, "that he
has no Recollection ofhavlng ever held a CONVEX.
sation with Mr.. Bolts upon any subject 'ohdteUer'
We give the concluding paragraph OF his letter,
and regret our inability to publish the correspon-
dence entire. " Casual expressions dropped IN
the course offree and unguarded conversation, are
always liable to be misunderstood. They may be
heard by those who have not heard the limta-
tions and conditions, and qualifications, which
previous remarks have put on them, and they
may also be heard by those who keep records OF
private conversations, and who, of course, always
hear as they choose to understand, Against such
as these, no one has any defence There should
be, if there is not, sufficient defence for
every gentleman in that sense ofhonor, proprety
and delcacy, which renders every private CONVEX
sation a matter of implied confidence.
Mr. Bolts publishes in the lntelligencer very
bitter card in reply to that ofSecretary U pshur.-
He promises in few days to prove that the Sec
rotary has uttered falsehood, in saving that he
nevor advocated dissolution of the Union.
