dead in Col. lIelsley's woods, near lions
Church, in that county. This unfortunate
young man was subject to fits of insanity,
and it is supposed that his death was occa-
stoned by exposure while laboring under
one of these fits; for, when found, he was
entirely nude, having stripped himself and
hung hi. clothes on the limb of tree
lie had probably been dead two weeks when
he was discovered"

bly known and efficient advertising agents

have recently moved from Boston to New

their rapidly growing business
TIE CEMETERY.-We have lust learned
from an intelligent and most reliable friend
who lives in that vicinity, that children are
permitted to go into our beautiful Cemetery
that sacred resting place of our departed
Misunderstanding open the gate for hogs to
enter, destroying trees and shnubbcry, and
doing other mischicf-all of which ought TO
be somehow prevented.
Such negligence, if it DC such, is repre-
hrnsiblc; aud destruction of property in
such Il place is rorsc than the work Ct the
heather. Th'y take care of the places of
their dead-shal we do less?
READ TIE Adv ERrIsEMENrs.- is the
habit of a great many who read newspapers,
remarks the .Spirdot I6;rso", to lay them
down after they have pcruscd the reading
matter, forgetting that there are frequently
advertisements in which they arc deeply in
tercstcd. These advertisements plainly in
dicatc where bargains may be had, and in
the particular branches of business Of which
they give notice, they point out the places
where, and the parties Of whom, the best
bargains arc to be obtained. The man who
docs not advertise freely, that the public
anay be advised Of his business, is either too
Tcnurious to sell literally, or is Indifferent
about tranSacting business. When you find
- man ready to advertise freely, and to pay
promptly for II, you may set it down as
certainty that you have found one who is
lSHarcd to offcryou bargains in his particu-
lar line, and that he is alive to the public
7ntcrest, as cell as TO his own Our columns.
from week to week, point the public to this
lass Of 'Dca a. uncrriDgly as the finger
hoard Directs si,e uncertain traveller the road
dc slab tru~d ., reach his destination.-
lead fiur yourselves aud deal with those
who advertise.
