Boy WASHED AsHoRE.-The remains of
child about or 8 years old, was found on Tues
day last on the beach of the lake near the Steam
Mill. The face of the child was very much
abtaded and the lower extremites nearly gone.
1t was supposed that the body must have been
in tina water all winter.
He was three feet inches long. He had no
coat on, his pants were made of blue cotton
with white Wristbands, with suspcnders of white
cotton. The stockingswere, ne,o, scanned, blue
with white tops and toes, white cotton shirt with
pearl buttons at the wrist, and bone button upon
the collar about the neck, he had neither boots
or shoes on. The absence of his boots and
coat would lead to the suspicion that there has
been foul play. Further information can be
obtained of the coroner, J. L. V. Yates.
WINTER WHEAr.-The reports about the APP
pearance Of the wheat in different parts of the
state are somewhat conflicting. We should not
wonder if the crop was injured some. If it has
been killed out we do not attribute the failure so
much to the want of snow to cover the ground,
as to the want of proper sowing, i. would be al
most miracle indeed, if the wheat should come
to anything, when it is thrown upon the ground
with so little care; the fact is, and it is beginning
to be understood by dear bought experience, that
the only way to sow wheat, is to SOW it in drills,
50 that in narrowing (and rolling the ground
which ought never to be omted) the seed can
be buried deep enough so that the berry and roots
can be fairly nourishcd, and protected from the
various changes which arc wrought, first by
sunshine, then showers, and next zero cold.
u We stumbled upon communication the
other day, evidently in a Lady's hand, in which
the lady gossipers and sanderers of this city
(who would have thought there were such char
acters here y were handled pretty severely
There were but three objections to publishing it,

was impossible for the compositor to read it.
As an excuse for not copying it and making it
Ineligible, the writer tells us she could not find
time. We suppose that we are suspected of ha-
wing nothing else to do, but the dccyphering of
hicroglyphics.
III We have received from the publishers No
Of tho Colonization .Journal paper devoted
to the repatriation Of Americans to Africa. The
Society of which this is the organ, raises and
spends about 20 Thousand Dollars year, in re-
lieying ncighborhoods in the South fthose free
negroes, who, by remaining, would make the
Slave uneasy and wish to be free.
The CIergyEnen have this paper sent free to
them, with the hope that they will exert their in
huence, to extend its circulation, and by this
means, help fiji their Golfers. In another part of
this paper, is statement of the system Of Sla-
very that already exists in Liberia, the pet colo
nv of this Society.
The price of this Journal is fifty cents year
for II numbers
We make no charge for this puff.
