Remarkable Occurrence. The follow ing singular facts were related in our hear ing a few days since. The source from wliich the information was received, is such as to put all doubt, as to its truth and cor rectness out of the question. A female slave, belonging to a resident of the adjoining County of Burke, about fifteen years ago, had a violent attack of fever; and was reduced to so low a state, thatat two several times, she was suppos ed to be dead; and was, as often folded in her shroud; but was saved from interment by some light signs of remaining life; And though she ultimately recovered from her sicknessj she remained from that time to the present, utterly helpless, and was en tirely without the power of speech. For fiifteen years she never spoke a word. She was then about thirtcenycars of age. About two weeks ago without giving any other manifestations that her peculiar condition, had undergone a charge, she commenced speaking with as much readi ness and ease, as one, whose power of ut terance had never been hindered or im paired. And what renders the circum stance still more remarkable is that &he commenced speaking, by repeating passa ges from the Bible, praying and singing hymns; and it is said she can repeat passa ges from the Scriptures to an almost incre dible number. She remains in the same helpless condition of body as heretofore. Lincoln ton Rep. Goelicke's Sanative advantages of advertising. The Boston Post has the following article, shewing a most extensive diffusion of a patent medicine and indica ting the way in which the sales were push ed. "We have always been ofthe opinion that the more liberally and frequently aman advertises (be his avocation what it may) the creater will be his profits. The follow ing fact corroborates the truth of this senti ment and cannot fail to induce many of our advertising friends more properly to appre- VoL XV. JVo. 23. ciate and improve the advantages held out to them by newspapers and the press. "We learn that ninety-three thousand dollars have been paid to printers in tho United States and Canada during the year IS3S. for advertising Goelidkc's Match less Smative. The sales of that medicine we also learn have been constantly increa sing, just in proportion as it has become known through the1 i medium of newspapers. It seems hut d fair inference to draw from ibis fact, tb"t it is strict economy, for all business men to advertise largely and fre quently and we hope they will hereaftef more generally avail .themselves of the privileges of ihe press; and thus be con strained to acknowledge that nic printer w indeed "worthy of his hire." Boston Post. Siochdnsr Murder. We team that a Mr. Thomas Bradley, of Anson connty, N. C was murdered whilst peaceably at work in a corn field, on the 6th instant. We forbear to state the circumstances, as they were re lated to us, from the danger of improperly influencing -the judicial investigation which we suppose will, of course take place. We have not learnt whether of not the alleged murderer his been apprehenddi. The in creased frequency of the crime of murder in this part of the country is hardly to he wondered at, when the facility with which murderers are allowed 1o escape proper punishment is considered. Chtraw Gazette. Accident. We learn from C apt. Allen, of ihe Sfhr. Smtth, that on Saturday last, Cap. Alphos Whitehurst, and a colored man, stated from Portsmouth to go on hoard a vessel then laying off OcracoUe bar, and not sucfCding in getting on board they started back for Portsmouth, when their boit was capsized and both drowned. Cant. W. was a highly respected citizen of Portsmouth, and hs left many relatives and friends to lament his loss. Wash. Rep. Sporting Intelligence.. Kendall Course Md The Purse of Si 000, 4 mile heats, was taken by Mr. McDaniePs Vashli, bea ting Portsmouth and Steel. Thefirstheat was won bv Portsmouth in 7m. 53s; the second by" Vashti, in 7.46. Portsmouth being much distressed, was then with drawn; and the third heat was taken with great eae by Vashti, in 8. 19. This was one ofthe most interesting and beautiful races which ever took place in this country. The fame of the horses had mlrac'cd an immense number to thecoursej and the contest which ensued "between these truly diigh mettled racers' richl repaid all for their visit. Portsmouth was the favorite, 3 to 5; and though the reputa tion which Vashti brought with her was decidedly favorablej it was hardly thought possible that she could win against the pick of the Virginia stablest In the first heat, Porthsmottth took the lead, and maintained it gallantly through out, though every inch of ground was dis puted with him by Steel Vashti justdrop ping in her distance. The second heat Vashti got the lead, and was pushed from the start by Portsmouth, who kept up a tremendous pace, but after a struggle al most unprecedented, for three miles, gave back and Voshti, through not without a desperate effort ort the part of Steel, won the heat, Portsmouth was how drawn, it being evident that he could not Wirt. The third heat was desperately contested by Vashti and Steel, and for nearly the whole distance they were neck and head On thelast quarter Vashti got clearly away from him, and won the heat by about a length, and with the heat, the purse. Thetimeof the second heat of this race has never been equalled on this course;. Baltimore Gaz. Backing Oat. The match two mile heats, 5510,000 aside between Boston and The Queen, which was to have been tun over the Raleigh (N. C.) Course, at the Spring meeting, 'it is said, is "off."; The Queen being out of order, and the backers have td pay the forfeit of SOOO. Bank Monopoly Running into the Meat Market. The Ohio Statesman gives this new instance of invasion by corporate privilege: The Chicago branch ofthe Illi nois State Bank, says the Chicago Demo crat, has realized 40,000 out of its lat& pork speculations. This amount is taken stolen out of the pockets of the mechan-, ics, merchants and farmers. The Democrat is exposing the monopolizing character of that bank, in a way that will open the eyes of the people in that Slate. They have been made to feel the ruinous effect of bank paper, and they will soon be able to see it. (CyThe Treasurer ofthe state of Indianl has made a formal demand of the 4th instal ment ol the Surplus fund, due on the 1st of January last.
