Among the items noticed at tho sitting Of the
Paris Academy Of Sciences, on the 18th ult. was
the following:
The Baron d'Hombres- Hirmas, a correspond.
ing member Of the Academy, informs it that he
has made experiments to ascertain the truth or
iasehood OF the reported preudicial effect of the
proximity OF the walnut tree to man and vegeta-
ton. He states that il man remains long near
this tree, he becomes affected with the head ache
and nausea; and that il corn be sown near il, i,
becomes much less productive than it would be
if equally close to tree of any other kind. He
attributes this to a peculiar emanation from the
walnut tree.

ATTEMPT TO CARRY OFF SLAVES

A daring attempt and arrangement was made
by two young white men, to carry off several me-
groes from the neighborhood OF Bridgewater, in
this county, fortnight ago.-The arrangement
had been entered into, but the plan was not en-.
trely completed, and the parties concerned in it
had made an appointment to complete every thing
that was necessary to ensure the success of the
enterprise. In the meantime, however, the alb
ductlon plot was revealed by negro woman to
her master, who with two or three other gentle
men, determined to watch for the parties at the
place designated for completing the travelling ar
engagements. The four gentlemen who intended
TO watch at the place of meeting, reached the VII
cinl'y some time before the slave stealing party
arrived. They had waited a considerable Time,
until the moon had gone down, before the signal
which announced their approach was given. The
signal was whistle. The party who were
watching were secreted within 20 steps of the
Plotters, and heard all the plan, and the entire
arrangement. 1t was intended on a DESIGNATED
night, to steal several horses in the neighborhood
whose owners were named, when the two white
men, and the negroes were to endeavor TO make
good thelr retreat The whole arrangement was
most wicked and vilainous one and would do
no discredit to the ingenuity of accomplished
scoundrels.--After the details of the expedition
had been settled, the party to be engaged in it
were separating to return to their homes, when
the gentlemen who had been listening to the
whole affair jumped from their place Of ambush
and ordered them to stand still or be killed if
they moved. They resolved to run the risk of
making tracks, however, and started to run.
ihcy were pursued for short distance, but aided
by the darkness and the woods they succeeded in
getting Oil The attempt to capture was bung-
llDgly managed affair, or they could not have es-
caped.-The men engaged in this attempt to car
~ Oil negroes are well known, and it is supposed
nave lett Tor parts unknown; but as they have
nigh'y respectable connexions in this country we
ioroear calling their names. They are both very
young nen-not more than 90 or I'll years of age,

mood In which he resided. The other is said to

ire OF the notorious Murrell and felt strong
disposition TO make that scoundrel's book s'the

more vilIaInous attempt at negro stealing than the
case TO which we are now aliudipo; and we trost
we shall not again be called on to notice such an
attempt again. 1T is certainly painful to notice

good families who might be ornaments Of society.
