BOLD RASCALITY.

Among the many injurious expedients resorted
to by roguery in New York, we have recently
read one which bears off the palm from all, 10 the
effect that lady of fortune purchasing shawl of
value, lately, in Broadway, while in the act of
handing two fifty dollar bills in payment to one of
the clerks. received blow in the face from well
dressed person just entered, who exclaimed at the
same time, &c forbade you buying shawl" and
snatching the two bills from her hand, walked
with very majesrc air out of the store The
lady tainted and after she recovered the proprie-
tor of the establishment, while endeavoring to
console her, expressed his regret at the very un-
gentlemanly conduct of her husband. She ex-
claimed, with the utmost surprise and horror de-
picted upon her countenance, &" that is not my
husband / never saw the person before in my
life." The clerks Immediately started in pursuit
of the william, which proved fruitess, and the
bold rogue decampsd with his booty.

A GREAT MISTAKE

We saw some time since the following adyer-
tsement copied into the Philadelphia Times, ex-
actly as we now cot it from the Columbian Foun-
tain of Washington City. The mistake is that no
such advertisement appeared in the +" Portsmouth,
Va, paper" Our friend Mr.. Wallace, who is a
sterling democrat lives in Richmond, in the En-
quirerof which city the advertisement appeared, if
any where. What lie says about his liquors is no
doubt true to those who believe that any kind Of
liquor is good-we differ from our friend in that
particular: -

temperance times, is found in Portsmouth. Va.

BEARER OF DISPATCHES.

We understand that bearer of dispatches to
our Government, in IL days from Gen. Taylor's
camp, passed through our Town on Thursday.
What the nature of these dispatches were. we
could not ascertain; but we learn that the bearer
OF them stated that two days before he left Gen
Taylor, battle with the Mexicans was daily
expected; that Gen. Taylor had delivered a war
speech to his army and that daily accessons to
the Mexican army were pouring In from all quar-

GOOD NEWS FROM OUR CANDIDATE

We have time only 10 announce, that just as
our paper was going to press we received letters
from friends in the East, giving a most GLOWING
account Of Mr. Shepard's progress in that section
of the State. On the 18th instant, he spoke at
Columbia, Tyrre county, and on the 10Th a,
plymouth. Washington county-at each place to
large crowds. From what we learn, we do not
boast when we say, that The Whig partu ,oiR
be broken do,On in TyrreH and Washington
counties. Hundreds of the wing people are ripe
for change, and numbers of them will cast their
votes for James b. Shepard. We have jus, re-
ceived another letter from Onslow county, in
which the writer says: Onslow will 90 for
Shepard fpe to one"
Again we would say TO onr friends, BE FIRM

DR.. FREDERICK HOLLICK

We stated last Thursday the agreeable fact,
that the common sense of a Philadelphia Judge
and Jury, had sustained this Philanthropist in his
glorious mission of spreading light and knowledge
among the mothers of mankind, to save them
from danger, suffering and death, in fulfilling the
high behests of their Creator, and from which
through the oppression, pride and folly of man
they have experienced, in many instances, pain
and death, which might have been avoided, if
philanthropy and wisdom, unchecked by cupidty
and ignorance, had heretofore done its work.
We have read a most admirable ESSAY from
Russell Jarvis, Esq, to DR.. H. on the subject of
the persecution Of the latter gentleman, which
we have cut out for future insertion, in our paper.
In the mean time, we take pleasure in presentinp
the following card, issued by DR.. II to our read
ers, We believe it is the intention of this
