I.A[.’NC§-E OF THE }.’EI\‘5i'SYL\'AI\'I.-‘L.
, PniL.A.ui-:i.riit.t, July 13, 1837.

\Vcll, it's all over! the largest ship in the
world " kissed her native el(:l‘U(‘Xt'.,” as the pU(.‘l.~:
say. altliougli, never having been in the water,“
this would be sonicthing ofa bull.

The day was line but warui——a stream of
well dressed persons poured through the City
towards Soutliwark. Sailors with tliclt‘ blue
jzickets and tarpaulin hats; Dutch girls from the
cotintry with nosegays and short pt-tticoats:
ladies offasbion in their carriages and buruuches;
gentlenieti on horseback, and dantlies with canes
and irioiistaclics, on foot; niet.-hatiics and la-
borers with their wives and daughters, all well
dressed and well behaved, were journeying
towards the navy yard, which was surrounded
by tables with fruit——iefresliments of all kinds,
olvconks and pretzels. The river Delaware,
which at this point is rather narrow, slielvy and
shallow, were tilled with steanibouts and small
craft of all kinds, and the flags and stcatiiers and

concourse of people a_iid bands ofniusit: gave great
spirit and animation to the scene. It was com-
puted, and I think with reason, that 1(lU,U,00 per-
sons were present, and nearly three hundred
persons cu board the large ship, admitted, as I
understand, by cards. Atrcozxliiig to arrange-
ments and with the view of all the small craft
getting out the way of d£tt‘tg_t‘t’, two guns were
, rireda little before two o’clocl-;. Theti com-
tnenccd the tiioveiiierit ()l1ll1(: waters ; the steam-
boats wliizzzed past-—tlie little wlicrry‘s sculletl
by-—-tlie pilot boats lulletl up and bore away-.—.-.it
was like the roll of the drum and the sliot,-ts of
the race ground, “clear the course.” it was
all clear--a broad path ‘way was made for the
“ iriouster“—-—tlie “eliiik of hauinicrs” were soot;
heard knocking tip the wedges. and about half
past two o'clock the cry “ there slit: goes." And
sure enough she did go-——glancing like a swan
itito the water. and throwing up the waves to tit:-c
right and left, and rocking the big aiitl littlc
barks like cradles on the deep. It was all over,
she was safe; and those who "took the re-
sponsibility" felt light and happy that they could
reoort “all is well." The people went home
quiictly and contetitcdly ; it was a ‘glorious sight
and they enjoyed it. I heard ofuo accident as
yet.-— N. Y. blur. _

carrying upon his horns a small fragment of the
clothing, and a portion of the reekiug entrails of
his victim; here be tossed and shook his head in
a most frantic manner, and roaring returned to
make asecond charge upoti the hapless Mrs.
Young. By this time, however the daughter
had seized the pitchfork, with which she gallant-
ly faced the animal, and after a long struggle
and two or three very successful stabs at the
head of her antagonist, she fairly beat him from
his purpose. Her first care was now her tin-
lortunate mother, who was with much dilliculty
removed to the dwelling house, where, after a
night passed in the _uiost inexplicable torture,
she tlietl the following morning.

The Progress of Rascality.—It is with pain
that we hear of such occurrences as that set forth
in the aiiiiexed extract frotii the Annapolis Ga-
zette—and with still greater pain that we liud
them lightly and jestiiigly spoken of, as in the
present instance. This brutal practice, of selling
wives is one of the strongest items of reproach
with which we can repel the sneers and sarcasuis
ofour Englisli ill-willers, when. they harp upon
our tnobs and Lyncliings; pri:I_e-fights and the
sale ofwives are the kcencs! arrozvs itiourqniver
of retaliation. It is melancholy to see them both
practised among ourselves; and they should
never be mentioned save in the bittercst language
of indignant condemnation. They are too dis-
graceful, and demoralizing, and iul'amou..s, to‘ be
made the snlijccts of facctious trifling. \Ve are
inalting ])t‘()gt't’2SS in rascztlity, when rast-ality is
only lziuglicd at.-——."\". Y. i‘.'i','i7et-trzloi'.

“It appeared from clisclostires made on the
trial, lll.'.1t sometime last wcelt the plaintiff.
Richard Kirby, soltl his wife to the dcfendattt,
George Dunn, for five dollars. Nobody pro-
fessed to know the iuotive that influenced Kirbv
to make the sale; it may have been the love of
money, or the want of money, or it may have
been solely to relieve himself from the burtliens
of niatritnony ; but certain it is that he did sell
his wife for the l)Cf0l'efl1t:l]llt)t]e(l sum, and that
too without so much as stipulating at the time,
that it should be paid in gold or silver, and not
rlcprcciutcd ban k paper. Scarcelv, however,
was the bargain concluded, before Dunn, who is
a married man, repented of havin,<_1 matleit, and
began to burn the old song, which runs

“ Sic a wife as 'vVillie had-,
"' l wad ni gie it button for her.”

But it was too late, there was no backing out ;
he had consented to take her, and the husband had
determined he should have her. The plaintiff
pmlli.-red Dunn a bill of sale, and tlemancted the,
money, which Dunn refuscdto plank up, alleg-
ing as the reason that he was in jest when he
zigrcetl to buy. The excuse was not admitted by
the liiisband, who, discovering that Dunn was
not to be thinned out of the cash, resolved on a
resort to the law, which in some cases is found
more ellicaciotisthatitheargumentofindividuals
tio matter how eloquent or persuasive the latter
may be. His lionor t_~e justice, pronounced
judgment against Kirby. who was thus curbed in
his .'it£cti'ip; to saddle auotlier man with his wife,
and (l00li'lt’tl to hear his burden, liowever griev-
ous he may find it. He was somewhat discon-
ccrted by the decision, and lrnniediately went his
way, it may be, in quest of anotlicr puieliascr.
\l’itl_i Mr. Dunn it was qtiite tiilfereiit; his
couiiteuancc brightened, anil it was so evident
h at he was inwardly cotigratulating himselftliat
he w.-is not done over, that the impression oftlie
spectators is. he will hereafter be cautious how
he it-sis about serious matters.

The woman is said to be young and pretty.

 

Iafonor aiiznng T/iict'cs.——A gentleman was at
the theatre in Paris. one eveniiig, with a friend.
'l‘o~.vartls the close oftlie performance, seeing a
corner of his friends liarskercliiefprojecting frorn
the pocket, he drew itoutgently and cautiously,
and thrust it into his own pocket, intending to
amuse liitnselfa while with the owner’s vexe-
iiou when the loss should be discovered. At
the sa_nie inometit a snuff box was slipped into
his liantl, by a well dressed personage sitting be-
hind him. and a voice whispered in his car, “I
beg pardon, sir-——I did not know you belonged to
the profession, or I would not have picked your
pocket. It is against try rule to practise on a
brother." The snuff box was his own—antl he
was generous enough to give his professional
brother a liiut that he had better go away. lest
he should be recognized by some of the police-
mt-u.--S Ir.-clulor.

'21 IVoman gored to death by a Bul.l.--—\\''e
' find the following in the Montreal Transcript.
-Itirelates to the death of a Mrs. Young. ofOrms-
town, on the Cliateauguary river, Canada :
J “The unfortunate sufferer was, we under-
stand, the widow of it farmer ofthat name, but
continued to reside upon the land, and to derive
from it such return the industry and labor of
her If andidanghter could procure. She raised
a bull calf, on account ofhis beauty, which hav-

biiffce his birth and having always been fed by

they were fastened in the cow-hotise, wlieu Mrs.

proceeded to the far end, to milk the cow
fastened there, and the loose bull advanced with

A dreadful accident occurred at the North-
iauipton (Muss) VVoollcn Factory, on the 4th.
!An artillery piece had been discharged a num-
iber of times, when suddenly the keg that con-
taiued the powder exploded in the hands of an
individual! The cause of the explosion cannot
piecuratcly be ascertained, but it is thought fire
iwas comtntinicated by 8. piece of wttdding.——
There were 20 or 30 persons near by at the mo-
ment, and 12 were more or less burnt and miiti—.
lated, two or three of them horribly disfigured ;
but on the 5th none had died. ‘

To it young infidel, who was scofiiug at Chris-
tianity, because of the misconduct of its profes-
sors, the late Dr. Mason said: “Did you ever
know an uproar to be made because an infidel
went. astray from the paths of morality?” The
infidel admitted that he had not. “Then don’t
you see,” said Mr. M., “that e.i:pcctz'ng the pro-
fessors of Cliristiaiiity to be holy, you admit it
to be a holy religion, and thus pay it the highest
compliment in your power.’ The young man
was silent. '

T/ie woman who iceitt ab-road.-.—-A lady who
was in the habit of spending most of her time
in the society of her neiglibors, happened one
day to be taken suddenly ill and sent her lins-
band in great haste for a physician. The bus-
band run it few rods, but soon returned exclaim-
ing, “My dear, where shall Ifiiid you when I
get back !”

It is stated that Gen. Jackson is becoming ve-
ry restless under what he calls the bad manage-
ment of Mr. Van Biiren. “Sir,” said he to 8.

the government has been going to the devilever
since I left Washington.” Very truc.-=-Na,sh-

Vermont State C'onvention.——A very numerous
and respectable Convention of Whig Delegates,
was held at Montpelier on Wednesday last, at
which Silas H. Jennison was nominated for re-
election as Governor, David M. Camp for Lieut-.
Governor, and Augustiiie Clarke for Treasurer.
Antimbcr of judicious resolutions were adopted
by the (Joiivcntion.

Love, Law and Philosopliy.-—Tlie Baltimore
Monument: relates that; 21 lawyer from the West,
married a few days since in the state of Mary-
land, a lady with whom he had fallen in love
some twenty years ago, and tv lioinlic had never
seen since, until the time of the rnari-iage. 'l‘lio
geiitletiiari would have married her at the time

tlie declaration Slit‘. one day playfully tnatlo,that
she would “-uevcr marry a poor man 1,” Deter-
mined to remove this oli_j-'—.ction to him, he push-
ed for the west, and after l.\_Vt.'Ill._‘,’ years hard toil,
and when the lady had forgotten liiin, lieliad
amassed Sl1iI'lClC1ll. wealth to encourage him to
renew his proposal. The lady luckily had re-
mained singlc,liis proposal was accepted ; they
were married, and on \'V«:dnesrlay morning last
they left the city for his home in the west.

One of our subscribers, who perused the arti-

’1’ouchiiig* Inc2'clenl.——l\’Ir. Bnssing. a. trustee
of public schools, relates to us the following cast.-
of utter destitutiou: A little girl, a pupil ofonc
of the public schools, who was geuvrztlly re-
tnarkable for her vivacity and amiable deport-
meut, was observed one afternoon to be droop-
ing in l'cr manner and neglectful to her recit.'_t-
tions. To the teacher’s inquiry if she was ill,
she replied in the negative, but she became more
and more incoherent in hrr lessons, stttriiig
wildly about, and seeming quite unconscious of
what was said or done. It was siibsoqi.ieiill_v
ascertained that her strange conduct was thi-
yell‘:-ct of actual starvation, not having tttstetl
food since early the "day before. She told her
pitiful story with the modest reluctance that al-
was accoinpanies real sufferiiig, and gave as it
reason for fasting so long, that her mother tvas
ll widow, and could get no money.—.V. Y. Sun.

Selling a trot:/'c.——Qne of these disgraceful ex-
hibitions, the sale ofa wife, took place on Mon-
dny. The husband is a b'acksuiitli, trained
Garth. He first sold her for a shilling, tlieu
bouglit her back again, and resold her to it mar-
ried man for half a crown. The wif of the
purchaser came in on learning the fact,ai;tl
atriusedu. company oflotv fellows who were
pmseiit, by mauliug her faitliless spouse very sc-
verely.—1'Ialtfa.t‘ E:tyi'rc-ss.

Tig/it B0a..'s.—.—A physician says that during
the past week he has tttteiided-foiir cases of ap-
opplexy caused by tight boots. To persons of
clioleric tzcmperameut, notliing is more diingcr-
ous. The following confession of a stiffer:-r,
may throw some light on the Sl1lJ_]GCl1 : “ Be-fort-.7
I attempted to draw them on I rtibbed the lll.,.':tlt3
with soap, and powtlcred my instep and heel with
flour; I next drew the liautlles of two forks
through the Si2l‘8.‘pS, lest they should cut my firt-
geijs, and then c'on'i_tnt.-need the _“ tug of war.”
I contracted inysclfinto the forin of a chicken,
trtissed for th ‘spit, and tvliutcver patience and
perseverance, Providi;-iice had given me, I test-
ed to the utmost. I danced round the room up-
on one foot, many times, and €tll.€'l'SCVCl‘Z1l inter-
vals of respiration, and pious cjaculatioii, I stic-
ceeded in gi:t.t'ing my toes into trouble, or I
would say, into purgatory.”—-N. Y’3%"1'-z'nica.

The follotvingis a literal transcript ofa letter
actually sent to the mistress of a boarding’ school,
by the father of one of the female boarders:

“I had agootl ltedication iniself I ham hin-
tirely ashamed to sea the shaineful manner in
which my Luccy his bit by the fleas. and it is
my desire for liur to sleep in the bed that she
used to do, and not for to sleep sum time in tvun
bed and then in another, lor to feed all the fleas
in the otise, for I think that his not write, nei-
ther slittl she do it.”

The Richmond Inquirer, says: “ Bidtlle’sb:1nk

beaten In.gr.-rsoll.” Now only think of a dead }

.t}«ElNG compounded entirely of Vegetable
kl? Materials, and are ce from any mercury ;
nor do they contain iiijurious stibsttriiccs. They
are entirely composed of extracts from rare and
pewerftil plants, the virtues of which, though
long known to sever:-.l Indian tribes, tvezle not,
until recent.l_v, l{_".O'.Vll in this country. No pill
has, or ever can be ()lf-'3:‘ id to the public of stipe-
rior eliicttcy as 21 catliartie iricdiciua. ‘The pro-_
prietor of these pills is sure l.ll6,:lt' virtues are
such that no person, after li2ivlu_g' tried 0. box,
would on any account be without. them, unless
indeed, as may be the case, he slioultl ever after
enjoy 8. state of perfect, tinititcrrtiptcti licaltli.
Tliese pills are found to be at most certitiii turd,
Clll,‘ClLl«‘}.l preventive of fevers, jttuntltctlt l)lllUl1S
and other cliolics, and intli.-ed, of all diseases
CttllSP(l by obstrtictions or a{l‘cctious of the stoni-
acb,-liver, spleen or iiitestiiit‘-_s. For liver and
stoniseli complaints, and all disposes connected
tlierewitli, such as liypocliondrtasis, liysteries,
dyspepsia or indigestion, loss of zippetitc, l_ie:i.d-
;]_Cl]l}, giddiiiess, &c. no renicdy can be louiid
more, or even so cfibetual as these pills ; itiid_lor
fever and agtie, these pills are a sure preventive.
Also for salt-rbeum, these pills are ti. sovereign
remedy. They cleanse the stoinaeli, remove
therefrom ttll vitiated bile, purify and refine the
blood. \Vill never fail to e1‘t‘.tllCtt._lC cnt.irely. all
the effects of nicrcnry infinitely sooner than the
most powerful pl‘t.‘pal't).llUllS of sai‘sapat'tlla.——
Does a person feel ti. loss of &m)t-'l.lt(3, and a bad
taste in the nioatli, tvitli a f.-iiiitiiess or ll0llO‘.V-
iiess of the stornacli, a few doses of these pills
are sure to remove all such difficulties and
speedily set uiatters to riglit. If one feels a
particular liettviness, is dull sleepy, and sluggish
in action, with or without yl.‘.li0Wl‘lCSS of coin-
plcxiou, these pills will surely and speedily re-
move all such ailineiits. It is not,pi-etendcd
that tlicse pills are a certain cure for all dis-
cascs ; that they will ctire, tvitliout. the use of
any other means, it confirmed consumption, or a.
settled fever ; but it, is pretendctl, and asserted
tvitliotit fear of its ever being contradicted, that
even in such cases, no other cathartic tnetlici-tie
can be given with better ttdvaiitage, and that the
timely use ofthcse pills may prevent the occur-
rence ofauv such formidable disease.

These pills are to be taken at bcd-time every
night, for a week or fortnight, a_.ecording. to the
disease. The usual dose is from three to six,
according to the constitution of the person.
They usually operate witliin ten or twelve hours.
and very seldom give pain. They may be-taken
by the most delicate," under any circumstance.

he proprietor dcerns it uiiiiecessary to add
to this a long list of recomm iidattoiis of great
men, oroffictitious names. as is S,-‘,0l‘l‘l(-‘limes done
to cheat the umvary. n.0.t' ofcwrtificittes of _eures
performed. He knows the value ofthe pills to
be such that he ‘wishes them to stand or fall by
theirown merits, anti will only add, try them and
be convinced, and then you will say, one lialfol
their value has not been told. ,
