Sad Sequel to Sad Little Story.

About month ago wepublished curious
and sad little story the Of the strong at
tachmcnt existing between mocking bird
and it's mistress, and showing to what degree
human affection and power can be exercised
over the animal creation. A young lady,
Miss Mansfield, in Scottviile, Kentucky, had,
ON her death bed, commanded her little
feathcred companion to cease his song, as IN
,-r--r1f,-5<nr---off bod;
gentle warbliugs seemed to annoy her. Al
a ter her death, which took place next day.
the bird was priced as a friend and pct OF
the loved one whom death had called away
and many efforts were made to induce MN
to pour forth his melody as sweet reminder
of it's lovely mistress; but all efforts were
unavailing, and nothing but her voice, now now
I stillcd forever, would break the spell, Day
after day passed and still silence, pr pr0lG1ngemd gee
and unbroken, held the bird in its thral''
Refusing all food, it pincd away, and after
short time died. :,
This is true story, and as it was told to
US. Who can tell what was the mysterious
tie that bound that little chorister OF the
forest to its dead mistress ?-Nashr'Hc Ban
ner.

Our ScHooLs.-The male Academy of
Mr.. L. McCandless was opened last Monday
with fourteen boys in attendance.
- Mrs. McCandless' female school conf
menced with seventeen scholars the same
day, at her residence.
The Camden Female Institute commenced
its new career with eighteen girls, also on
the same day, in the academy next to the
Presbyterian Church.
Many additional scholars will no doubt
enter the various schools, during the present
week.
Camden was once famous for the high
character of its schools, and we arc disposed
to believe that having rcgained great deal
of our old talent, it will become equally ia

grateful as Ito lay the development of the

others had better b.ware how they indulge.
Last Saturday, Trial Justice Sutherland
was engaged in the trial of an interesting
cas-, of assault and battery, arising out OF an
unfortunate case of jealousy y>- between Nina
English and Hiram Cureton on one side:
and Sam. Halle on the other, in which as
is usual, the man, came out minus. The
gushing Nina, it sccmsiI had given Hiram
positive instructions to cut Stephen fHyf0r
heart out, for some offence. the exact ma
ture of which did not transpire. But Sam,
forcstalling this bloody scheme, got into an
alteration at his mothers house, and by
a strange coincidence, threatened to cut her
heart out, and struck her with stick, so
Nina says. Sam denied the threat, but ad-
mittcd that he had busted her frock a little
with his stick. And so the case went against
Sam. A multitude of witnesses from five
to five hundred years old, (morc or less)
were present, as the sage Justice expostula-
ted at length upon the wickcdness of fight
ing, and the virtues Of peace. Much edited
they were, no doubt. 'r4sa

Court of. G eneral Sessions will convene here
on n'next Monday week, the 18th inst, D udge
s. w. Melton, presiding The juries are
drawn by the jury Commissioner, Gen. j.
D.. Kennedy, whose appointment has not
been confirmed by the Senate. This may
somewhas interfere with the business Of the
Court, and leave gap for appeals. As there
are several cases of great Importance to be
tried, We respectfully recommend this fact to
the considerationro the lawyers.
The WsArHER AND CRops.-For the
season of the year, it is very dry. Com
plants come to us from sll about the county
that rain is much needed. The nights and
mornings are quito cool, but in the middle
Of the day, no decrease in the heat is per-
ceptible.
Cotton is opening fast, and 50 are the
thieves upon il: A quantity Of seed cotton has
beer, already sold in town, and we have
heard of one gentleman whows compelled
IN sclf-dcfcnce, to gather his entire crop of
corn, which was being rapidly stolen in the
field, . Cannot something be done to check
s,this; nefarious traffic in seed cotton? Itseems
ITO us that our merchants should meet and
devise some method whereby they can pro-
tect themselves, and the planters. The crime
will else soon run rife.
