the everyday complaints of every body. but
also formidable and dangerous Diseases
While they produce powerful effects, they are
at the same time, in diminished doses. the
safest and best physic that can be employed
for children. Being sugsr-coated, they are
pleasant to take; and, being purely vegetable,
are free from any risk of harm. Cures have
been made which surpass belief, were they

ONE CAUSE OF SINGULAR FIREs.-As fires
often occur without their cause ever being
ascertained, Notwithstanding the vigilance Of
detectives, the following from the Lowell
Mass Courier, of the 23d ult, will doubt
less prove of interest, to machinests, at least,
and would be worthy of consideration es-
pecially by those who live in crowded cities:
1t is a general truth that friction develops
electricity, and most workmen know that a
machine belt at high speed, by its friction
with the air, is highly electrified. 1t has for
years been a common experiment for a
workman to light gas burners by holding
one hand to a fast goin belt and the other TO
the open burner.
This matter was curiously demonstrated
in the Appleton Mills Of this city on We'd
nesday, the premises were carefully searched,
and a small quantity of cotton lint inside a
belt-casing was found on fire. The lint lay
upon beam which was within four inches Of
a belt some fifteen inches wide and moving
some two hundred and twenty revolutions
minute.
In the beam was an iron bolt, the head Of
which was toward the belt. From the belt
10 the bolt was passing a stream Of electric
sparks, which had set cotton lint of fire.
After attending to this case, Mr.. Motley, the
agent, opened the casting of similar belt
in another mill. The beam in the case was
fourteen inches from the belt, but the stream
Of electric sparks was at once seen jumping
across the beam, although it had not set fire
TO anything.
Perhaps some of the cases Of fire from
supposed Spontaneous combustion" are due
to electrify from machinery. The subject is
an interesting one for investigation, and
doubtless profitable one.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-RAPE AND
MURDER.

From the Citizen, paris, Ky.) March 3O.l
On Tuesday evening last, Mollie, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Thomas Doalin, living on Coop
er's run, about four miles from our city, was
sent to hunt the turkeys, and not returning
as soon as expected, her father went in search
of her, and found her about 300 yards from
the house, with her throat cut from ear to
ear and her abdomen ripped open and her
bowels out. She was not dead when found,
but was unable to speak and died in very
short time. Her person had been violated,
but not without the use of a knife, and the
fend, to prevent detection, murdered his
victim.
On Wednesday some of thd citizens as
sembled to, if possible, discover and appre-
bend the villain, and, after obtaining his
footprint-which was peculiar by the marks
in his boot-followed his track, and came
upon him at Mr.. w. II. Thomas distillery.
The villain proved to be Bertram, return
ed negro soldier, formerly the property of
Mr. T., and now in his employ. They e1-
amined his boot, and found it to fit the track
with exactness, and, upon examination of
his person, found blood upon his clothing,
which furnished undoubted evidence of his
guilt. 1t was also ascertained that he was
absent from work at the the time the foul
dead was perpetrated.
He was brought to town in the evening
and committed to Jail. The excitement, as
soon as the facts were known, became great,
and in a short time crowd gathered around
the Jail with firm determination depicted
in every countenance to bring the wretch to
speedy justice. He was demanded of the
jailor, who refused to deliver him up, and,
upon his refusal, implements were called for
to force the Jail. The jailor at length sur
rendered him to the crowd, who took him
to the Public Square, where rope was
thrown over a limb of locust tree in the
courthouse yard, and he was suspended by
the neck, was let down to obtain a confession,
but he would make none, and was then
launched into eternity.
We do not approve of Lynch law" nor
do our citizens generally, and it would have
doubtless been better to let the law have its
course; but if ever there was a case justified
lis exercise, the internal outrage and brutal
murder would seem to demand swift justice,
without awaiting the laws delay.
The negro was about twenty-five or twenty
three years old, was a son Of Ben. Bates, the
body servant of TIE late James NJ. Arnold,
of our place, and did not bear a good char
acter.

THE EXPULSION OF QUAKERs FROM

Qrakers or Friends from North Carolina
was due TO persecution, but says that, for the

account Of their emigration and the dispo-
sition Of the young people, as they become
mixed with other circles and associations, to
forSake the simple habits Of George Fox.
This has led to a very general desire, on the
