Oysters, in the Rappahannock riicr. were sui-

Peace for the county of Essex. They hailed the
schooners with a cannon ball, then ordered each
commanderto leave his vessel, and come on board
theirs, or they would sink them. They refused
to leave their vessels, butwcre boarded ; the mas-
ter of each schooner thrust into a boat, carried
on shore, put under guard, and the next day car-
ried twelve miles to the town of T-appahanucck,
where they were imprisoned, anti not being able
to give bail, had to remain about 7 days ; they
were then tried, and scnivncetl to gite bondsoi‘
a considerable penalty, with sufficient sureties not
to carry oysters out ofthe state for twelve months.

The following account of Russ: Calvin. who
was supposed to have been niti'rdere(l by two
brothers in Vermont, by the name of Brown, is
from the N. Y. Nallullui Advocate.
Colvin was a man of inexperience, of little tal-
ent or capacity to earn his‘ living, he -married a
sister of these Browns, who had to support him.
and to whom he was very obnoxious. Colvin was
inthe habit of straying away from his home, and
keeping away for a length of lllTlC—-llt: took his
final tleparturu, and nothing was lieairl of him,'or
suspected of him. until the dream. ltturned out
that in a field of these Browns. a lar;,r_e hole was
usually kept open for picscrvillg potatoes during
the wiiiter-—-It was ..~.udde.uly closed. in this old
hole a skeleton was found, a bar-low. peiikizife.
bloody, and another knife, rtisty, lay along aid: of
him. Colvin’s wife declared that they had be-
longed to her husband-— she swore also to the but-
tons on his clothes, and for the lirst time she sus-
pected he had been mur(lered——-the two Browns
were arrested-—the younger one was imprisoned
-—-and ‘in the same prison a man was confined
who had been arrested on suspicion of for-gerv.
but.subsequentl_v was honorably acquitted. To
this man Brown coiifcssodihat he and hisbrother
against them, which, together with other circum-
stances, led to their conviction. This isthe story
told US--C()l\lll is alive and these men are inno
cent. But to whom does this skeleton belong ?
Some one was murdered in the Browns’ field; and
secretly buried there. The two brothers when
quarrelling, were frequently heard to threaten
each other mysteriously. The ways of Provi-
dence are hidden from us, and the discovery of
Col\in’s existence may lead to the knowledge of
who the person was. thus cautiously buried ; re-
specting whom, there is reason to believe, if
our information is true, that the Browns know
something of. Another dream may be more con-
clusive.
Jlfurder.-—'I'he body of a man was discovered
8 lcw days Since. near Sparta, N Y. who was mur-
dered in a shoclziiig manner. His throat was cut,
apparently with a pen-knife, and his head very
much bruised. »
Another person by the name of James Phillips,
has been arrested at Boston. on suspicion of be-
ing concerned in the Stoneh-am murder. The
facts disclosed on his examination were so strong,
that he was committed for trial. ‘ Two other per-
sons, of suspicious appearance, sailed from Sa-
lem the day after the murder was committed, for
the Province of Maine.
A Vermont paper relates an anecdote ofa team-
ster from that state, who on his return from Bos-
ton, happened to fall in company with three oth-
er men oft/ic iw/n/1, and accepted an invitation to
partake of their cheer. He was 51,0,-uy after sei-
zed wish such intense tlrowsiiiess as to be obliged
to leave his team to the carejof his hospitable
companionsfand stop at a house on the road,
where he slept srvenly two /tours. although repeat-
ed efforts were made to i'oll_!:‘-C him. It seems his
companions had infused 0/zium in the liquor he
drank, and intended to appropriate to themselves
his team and goods. They were overtaken, how-
~tilic.i;.l Well} in a neat and durab‘le manner ; reg-
;c0_.U.‘t)ti, or linnen and tow Slicers, 'fable~cloi|is'aiid
