G We learn that the Jail at ASHORE
Randolph county. was burnt down a few days
ago. A runaway negro was confined in it,
and it is supposed he set fire to It. If SO,
he set a trap to catch himself; for the flames
progressed SO as to render it impracticable
to get him from his cell, and he persisted in
the ruin.

MAGAZINE FASHION PLATES.

Folks do not need to know how they
should look without clothes, for this is not
the way they arc to appear. What the pub
lie wants TO know is, what a woman ought
to look like when she is dressed and We
do approve most heartily the idea of Jenny
Lind exhibiting a full formed waist. If she
has such a one as Graham's portrait repre-
sents. God speed her voyage. Her visit
will be worth a thousand times more than
it can cost. If she can introduce the fash
ion of a natural waist it will be worth ten
dollars a ticket to see her if she never open
ed her lips but why does Graham give us
that preposterous plate to counteract and
overbalance all the good he can do by a
thousand representations of nature. Does
he not know that the mere name will cause
It to be initiated despite all the consequent
ees? We are particularly out Of humor
with the whole batch Of fashion plate Mag
-azines. Cooley, Graham, Sartain and Pc
terson, have instigated more murders than
ever Nero committed. They spread as
much domestic misery, and do as much for
the deterioration Of our race. as all the rum
sellers in the nation. Their Magazines are
a curse to humanity. We have never seen
this in 80 forcible a light till very lately.
We should like to know how many Of our
readers have seen a family of blooming
girls who have subscribed for, or have re-
.ceived a fashion plate Magazine for one
year, aud did not loose their roses the next.
They appear to us to.sow the seeds Of con-
sumption and death wherever they co.
We are daily getting more and more out of
patience with them, as every littlowhile
we see a pair Of cheeks pale as ashes that
FIRST had bloomed like the roses of June,
and bright eyes glaring with fever that once
sparkled with health. When we see a
young girl prepare to lie down in her coffin,
we could audibly pray for curses on the de-
stFoyer who stole into her chamber with
smiling face and honied words, and taught
her the art Of suicide as a most becoming
accomplishment. The sedueers of female
honor are scarcely more reprehensible thar
those who, for two or three dollars a year,
cunningly teach a young girl to take her
own life p~iecemeal-to murder herself day
by day-and commit the greatest crime
without a qualm Of conscience.
We know women now who are dying
dying, dying. by their own band, and pious
II saying their own prayers every day, and
for their death the Magazine publishers arr

They are numbering them as truly as eve

that the long whale bones sticking into thei

conversation with one Of their pri~ncipalchicfs

and, among other things, be informed me
that at Their FIRST start they fell into a great
mistakc-they only sent then boys to school.
They became intelligent men, but they mar
RED uneducated and nncivilized wives and
tho uniform result was, that the children
were like the mother, and soon the father
lost bis interest in both wife and children.

Suffice it to say, that the exercises Of yester-
day have never been surpassed at this or any
other similar institution.
President Fillmore, assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Mcclure, distributed the medals and premiums.
Officer Adams arrested John Glascoe, free

GIN. CAss.-The Philadelphia Statesman says
" We scarcely pickup q Democratic paper, either
from the North, West or South-provided that
paper is sincerely devoted to the Union-whch
does not openly advocate the claims of General
Cass for the Presidency, or else speak of him in
the most fiattering terms as among the most
prominent and available of the candidates yet
presented TO the consideration ofthe Democracy
of the Union. tits true, the claims of other good
and worthy men are freely canvassed, and in
their own States, are more or less ardently
urged but still, the great national services,
and the national reputation of Gen. Cass, the
unspotted purity Of his life and character,
whether as great statesman or private citi-
zen, has elevated him far above all others
named and, to great extent, destroyed all
State and sectional pride in a,general desire to
place him in position which his deep devotion
to Democratic principles, and his eminent ge-
MUS and craftsmanship so fully qualify him to
occupy"
