MISCELLANEOUS FOR THE FREE PRESS. SUMMER. The summer mcrn presents itself to view, The scorching sun retracts the nightly dew; The small birds sing within the thorny broke, And lively wild ducks swim around the lake. The forest trees look not so green and gay, In burning summer as in middle May; But golden fruit more glorious does appear, To mortal eye than aught else in the year. Ye gentle showers descend that crops may grow, And make the planter's corn-crib overflow; Send forth good cotton the product ot our soil, Man's chief dependence and his greatest toil. The innocent lamb is often brought, To shed its blood that's dearly bought, To pleasure man, corrupt and savage, Who like a wolf the mountains ravage. 'Mong pastures green, where sheep do rove, O'er mount, through mead, in harm less drove, I would devote the balance of my days, x To muse, and listen to the shep herds lays. Descend, my muse, and "teach me how to sing The praise of God, 'till woods and valleys ring; Give me a portion cf thy precious store, And I will be thy slave for ever more. TRAVELLER. 20, as them for their nains, I die in charity with every body excopt my wife, and wish well to every body who had a regard to me, and don't care a quid of tobacco where they bury me. I was divided betcen "hanging and drowning, at last resolved upon the way I have taken as I thOUO"ht it ltrtt cn TTIlUnn nc- the other, for they hang thieves nercticks and murderers but ne ver drown them. So I depart this life in the thirty eighth year of my age without wincing grumbling or whining but like a man of my free notion and choice, beins: at all times a scootl christian, with full assurance of going to heaven where I shall laugh at my wife & the devil.'' London paper. Indian Negociaiions.-t will be gratifying to the public to learn that the object of the late mission to the Cherokee Indians has been accomplished. A trea ty has been concluded which on ly waits the sanction of the legis lature to go into operation. The contract embraces thirty eight reservations held bv Cher- okees under the treaties of 1817 19, and will put at rest the disputed title to lands which the state had sold for about 25,000 dollars. In addition, the state obtains about fifteen thousand acres superior quality. The lands are to be paid for at Frank lin in Haywood county, the first Monday in May next. The thirty-eisrht claims were all which appeared legal, al- tnougri a lew therokees appear to have rights in equity. FayettevilleObs. CURIOUS SUICIDE. A short time since a poor man a native of Ireland, having had a quarrel with his wife, threw himself into the river and was drowned. The following curious account of his death written by himself was found in his apartments: "As I know the people that will find my carcas is curious about the cause of my death, which is sometimes out of the way, I'll give them all the sa tisfaction in my power about it, as I know the whole matter from beginning to end, the'more my misfortune in marrying a bad wife that was never pleased but when she was angry with me, and scolded me out my life. "It may be reported, as the world is liable to lying, that I died by accident but that is a mistake, for I threw myself in the water and so killed myself & as the little thats left of my sub sistance is not much I hope! there will be no quarreling a-j bout it. I give all the money1 that may be found in my bree ches pocket tc Betty M'Kenzie. My wife said that I had unlaw ful doings with her, but that's a lie of her own invention, and if I was alive I would say it to er face. As for my wife she must provide for herself as I mean in future to give her no thing. I had enough to do to maintain her during my life, and I am shure I'll not trouble y head about her now I am dead.

Prussic acid Oil amber The increasing demand for Dr. Adam Clarke's COMMENTARY ON THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, Has taken up the first and second editions of this Great Work, as far as it has been pub lished. Srt j fft inflfirp thr. nnh- ishers in New York to issue their nrfisnortnc fnr n third p- dition, that the three may be brought up equal and finished together. The text is taken from the correct copies of the piesent authorized version with all the marginal readings: an ample collection of parallel texts; and copious summaries to each chanter. The date of every transaction, through the whole of the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS, as far as it has been ascertained by the best cnronolosrers, will be marked in the A. M. collated through out with the Julian Period; and in the A. 13. C. and A. D. In this work, the whole of the text has been collated with the He ("brew and Greek originals." and all the ancient versions. The most difficult words analyzed and explained The most im portant readings in the Hebrew collections of Kinnicott and De Rossi, and in the Greek collec tions of Mill, Weistein and Griesback, noticed The par ticular customs of the Jews and neighboring nations, so fre quently alluded to bv the Pro phets, Evangelists and Apos tles, explained from the best Asiatic Authorities The jrreat doctrines of the Law and Gos pel of God defined, illustrated and defended; and the whole applied to practical Christianity and vital Godliness. The Doc tor's BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY will forever remain a monument of his vast and varied acquisitions in liter ature; in the work now offered to the public he has outshone, but not obscured his former ex ertions in favour of piety and learning. In his general pre face and comments on the text, he has bro't together a great body of facts, gathered from the numerous sources of ancient and modern literature, so that the most learned and scientific reader may reap both instruc tion and delight, and the most simple and uninformed may acquire a fund of useful know ledge, hitherto concealed, in various volumes of foreign, and consequently to many" of all nations, unknown languages. The work will be printed uni formly with the first and second editions: and will be illustrated with the most correct Maps; and every requisite Plan and Table. The quarto edition is now reduced to one dollar and twenty-five cents per number. The great demand for the work, and to accommodate Subscribers of limited means, the publishers hare also commenced the pub lication of a royal octavo edi tion, which will come at the re duced price of five Dollars per volume, bound and lettered, or fifty cents a number, if prefer red in numbers. Civillians, as well as divines, and others, have read the Doctor's lucid ex positions of the jewish polity, and the moral principles of Chris tianity, wriith no small advan tage in the practice of their pro fessions. We believe this is the greatest and best work in our language. The epistle to the Romans can be had separately, either in octavo or duodecimo form, bound and lettered. TDr. H. HARDY, of ciaiijax, will receive Subscrip tions to either of the editions, arid order them to Halifax for Subscribers. He will also re ceive Subsc7-iption$ to the duo decimo edition of Dr. Clarke's translation of Strum's refec tions on the TVorks of God in treat ion, for every day in the year it is an entertaining itvork.
