GEoRGsrowN AND IT'S AFFAIRs


/ CAUTION TO Boys.--Y yesterday afternoon, some
i've or six small boys obtained small canoe, goi
into it and padded out into the river. The boat
upset with them, and some two or three who
could not swim would have drowned, had not a
boat that was near by rescued them.
A majority of our citizens appear to be de-
termined either to make spoon or spoil a
horn-amend and reform our charter or go to
Maryland. BY doing the latter, we in many
respects secure the former. Therefore, when we
start, let us take the shortest route 4.
hahuman Cruelty.-A man by the name of
Castleman, who keeps store in one of the
counties bordering upon the Potomac in vir-
ginia, being robbed, suspected two of his slaves
of the theft, and, for the purpose of furnishing
them for the act, or comp cling them to confess,
he tied them up and inflicted upon them a very
severe chastisement; but not being satisfied
with this, he put rope around the neck of one
Of them and swung him up, barely leaving his
toes touch the ground, and in this condition he
left him. After some time he returned, but,
shocking to relate instead of hearing confess
sion he found the poor negro lifeless corpse.
An inquest was held over the body, and Mr..
Castleman held to bail for his appearance at
court.
