FREE NEGRO MURDERED IN ~CArAHourA.--
We learn that the free negro oyerseer on q
plantation belonging to Mr.. Daniel Smith, on
Black river, in the Parish of Catalonia, was
chopped in pieces with an AK by a desperate
slave on the place. The other slaves, about
thirty in number, tried to arrest the murderer,
but he th~ereatened to kill them all and
escaped--but returned again and was put in
irons. This was done last week while no white
person was on the estate. Mr.. Smiths family
residence is near the Scotch Settlement, in
Adams county, Mississippi, and it is said that
he is away from home, up the river. [Concor-

1t is very doubtful whether any orders have

SCHEIDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPs.-This celc.
brated beverage is manufactured at the factory OF
the undersigned at Scheidam, Holland. He is the
sole importer, as well as the exclusive manufactnrsl
of the article, and no preparation bearing the name
of Schnapps, that is not procured either from his
establishment in NewYork, or from his agents III
other cities, is genuine or reliable.
1t is made from barley of the finest quality, select
ed with great care from the products of the most
celebrated grain-growing districts, is favored with
the essence of the aromatic Juniper Berry of Italy
and is rectitied by a peculiar process, which sxpels
from the spirit every acrid particle.
AS a means of preventing and correcting the disa.
greeable and often dangerous effects produced upon
the stomach and bowels by a change Of WATER
visitation to which travellers, new settlers and all un.
acclimated persons are liable--the Scheidam Arc.
matte Schnapps will be found absolutely infallible;
while, in cases of dropsy, gravel, obstruction of the
kidneys, diseases of the bladder, dyspepsia, ague and
fever, aud general debility, it is recommended most
emphatic lly by the most distinguished members Of
tile medical profession.
| wish tle public to understand the Schnapps Is
not sold by the gallon or pipe. 1t is only sold in
quart and pint bottles, id cases of one dozen quarts
and two dozen pints, each bottle envelopcd in yellow
paper, with my name on the bottle, cork. and a fac
smile of my Signature on the label. For sale at all

DoUerAs JEREoLD's WIr.-At a supper
party, a Scotchman and an Englishman were
disputing on the relative merits and dement's oil
James |, the sixth James of Scotland, and
George W., and with so much earnestuess that
the whole company were compelled ODE listen
ers. The words waxed warm and somewhat
indecent.
Your royal James, indeed-I could spit
upon him y exclaimed the indignant English
man.
"And | would spit upon your worthless
George retorted the Scotchman.
Jerrold, who was among the unwilling
listeners, here turned to one Of the servants
with, Waiter, spittoons for two"
1t is scarcely necessary to add, that the up
~roarious laugh which greeted this bit of ex-
quisite humor finally settled the dispute.

HARD VERpIor,-Some attention has been
excited in commercial circles in England by Il
very hard verdict. a gentleman and his wife
contracted Tor n passage from Jamaica in a
vessel advertised to sail in August, but which
did not go till October, and then sailed without
them. On the gentleman's arrival in England,
he brought an action against the owner Of the
ship, who was shown To have received 20 per
cent. of the passage money, but the court d.
rected y %nonsuit, on the ground that the captain
only was liable. "lf this be law" saws an
English paper, +" the wrongs to which pas.on-
gers are likely 10 be subjected will be innumer-
able. In u vast majority of cases the master of
the ship would be found 10 possess no property
to render it safe to bring an action against
him, md if his owner he no, responsible there
is no redress vhateve.'
