With matters hard but fair. How fair it seems to go in debt, How hard sometimes to pay, Because those folks who owe us most Cut slick and run away. It's hard sometimes to get in debt, Because our credit s down, But fair wilh those who trust refuse, For that's the way in town. It's fair to ask a lovely miss, A pleasant walk to take, Along some stream or through some grove, But hard to get a sack! And if by chance we have a wife, And children by her side, It's fair to cat a scanty meal, But hard to please the bride. Sometimes to be like other folks, A party we must make, ' It's fair to ask the ladies there, But hard to stop their clack! Sometimes a grogshop heaves in view, That seems to lure the eye, It's fair to stop and take a dram, But hard lo pass it by. Some folks in town would think it fair, To join the Temperance roll But oft they find it very hard, To shun the flowing bowl. The hardest case that I can find, Is every one to please Some think it fair to pray erect, And some upon their knees. Some think it hard to pray at all, And some would never cease, But I should think it very fair, To pray just when I please. It's hard but fair to pay a debt, It's fair but hard to die, It's hard to live a life in town, But fair-T-I know not why. Lines addressed by Lord Byron, to his wife, on the 15lh February, 1S2G, being the sixtli an niversary of their wedding day addressed, but not in fact sent to her. This day, of all, hath surely done Its worst to me and you; Tis now six years since we were one, And five since we were two. the last two or tlircc weeks the compa- ny's engine has been running, aany, 101 the purpose of transporting materials for tne construction o.i mo lumumuui u nv, rail-way. To-day the return train bro t down twenty-four bales of Cotton, as "an earnest" of the business about to be effected on the Kail Road. Pet. Chron. frThft Ralcinh Register says: On Monday night last, Mr, II. Hard ford, of this city, was stabbed in a most unprovo ked manner, by Osburn Sugg, whilst in a state of intoxication. The wound was fortunately not dangerous. The assail ant has given bail in a heavy bond for his appearance at our next Superior Court. Wilful Murder. On the evening of Tuesday, the loth inst. a colored man, the property of Richard Felton, Esq. of Perquimans county, was murdered by a slave belonging to Ketlar Felton, of the same county. The aggressor, without any immediate provocation, and from the impulse of animosity alone, is said to have knocked down his victim by a blow from a stone, and then to have stabbed him in the breast with a knife; after which the latter survived but a few minutes. A Coroner's Inquest was held over the bo dy of the deceased on the following day, and a verdict returned of wiljul murder. The case was presented to the Grand Jury at the Superior Court, then in ses sion, and a bill found against the murder er; but he has made his escape, and has not been heard of. Edcnton Mis. Michigan. The people of Michigan have determined by vote, not to take even the preliminary steps towards as suming the rank of a State. The Detroit .... papers attribute this decision to an ap prehension that the making of a State Government would increase the burden of taxation. The President. -The Globe states that President Jackson arrived in Washington on the 19th ult. and that the journey,&and relaxation from business for a brief inter val, has been of great service to the Pre sident. He enjoys excellent health. It is much better than it was for several years, before he attained the Presidency. The Forged Letter. The Globe says: We have received several letters making enquiries with regard to the authenticity of the letter to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, im puted to the President. We have not had it in our power to speak unon this subject until now that the President has returned, upon any other authority than the reported disavowal of the Board of Commissioners, with regard to having re ccived such letter. We are now autho rized to declare, in the most positive manner, that the President did not writn the letter in question; and we also assert, that the disparaging sentiment with re gard to Missionaries generally, is as un justly imputed to him as the writin'of the letter itself. .The President never believed that Mis eionaries were "apt to make- themselves obnoxious to those among whom they were located" on the rnntrnrv r heard him often express the opinion, that 101 me must part, uiey have obtained a great innucnce over the barbarous na tlOnS Whom tllPV nrn which has always proved salutary when vui iiuuu iu me oojects of their religious calling, as the ambassadors of Christ. OTlie Petersburg Rail Road is now finished ns far as Captain Jarrott's, a dis tance of thirty miles; and in a few days it will be opened for general traffic. For Famine. Recent accounts from the Cape do Vcrd Islands, state that the in habitants arc in a starving condition. Three years have elapsed since they have been visited with rains in any con siderable quantities. The land has be come parched, and has yielded nothing to the cultivator. All kinds ol vegetation ire withering and passing away. Most of the animals on the islands have died from starvation." In several of our nor thern cities measures have been taken to afford immediate relief to the sufferers. Wash. Union. QJIn a suit recently tried before the Circuit Court of Lexington, Ky. for a breach of promise of marriage, the plain tiff, Miss Clark, obtained a verdict of S10,000 against Mr. Rodgers, the defen dant. This was the whole amount clai med, and it is added that the jury such was tho aggravated nature of the case would have given a verdict for a larger sum had it been claimed. A Kentucky Trick. The Kentucky horse, Snowball, was lately advertised to run a race of a thousand yards against any horse in the Union, for 81,000 aside on the Central course, Baltimore. The challenge was accepted by the owner o the Maryland mare, Arietta. When the Kenfuckians appeared on the ground, Snowball was apparently suffering from lameness, and the bets were two to one against him. Kentucky, however, came off victorious; he won the race by six in ches only. It is not doubted that Snow 9f ball was learned to feign lameness, for the purpose of exciting bets against him. The Kentuckians pocketed the stakes, and went off in high glee. Say no more of Yankee tricks. We were not in the habit of giving horse racing intelligence, but this trick from Kentucky is worthy of being hawked about in print byaQon nccticut pedlar. Lowell Jon. Consolation. An old lady once bcinrr very sorely afllicted with a disorder usu ally denominated hystericks, imagined she could not breathe, and appealed to her husband on the occasion, with "Mr , I can't breaihe." "Well, my dear" returned the affectionate husband r fid."01 lry' for nobod? m,nls 'yu HENR Y JOHN STON 5" MERCHANT TAILOR, TAKES this method of informing his friends and customers, that he has just received from New York a part of his FALL SUPPLY Of the finest and most fashionable Goods, In his line of business, suitable for the season SUCH AS Superfine cloth . and cassimcres, the, most fashiona ble colors, .

Raleigh, August 2, 1S32. FKOFOSAZiS, For publishing weekly in the City of Raleigh an Agricultural Newspaper undcr the name and style of the Farmer's and Planter's Half Sheet. Our motto is, "Agriculture is the great art which everr proprietor of land ought- to practise; every statesman to patronise, and every individual of the human family to consider as the chief employment of hisspieces." Dr. Johnson. OMI1S Agricultural paper, will be modelled af ter one conducted in France with eminent success, by the Count. Lasteyrie, (Lafayette's son-in-law) and another in England by an asso ciation of gentlemen, styled "The Farmer's Weekly Visitor." They are both Half Sheets. The object of so curtailing the dimensions, is to prevent that ennui and fatigue, always produced by too great a bulk of intellectual matter. We will not say a word in regard to the great ne cessity of improving our agriculture, that is ad mitted; but it is of great importance, that im provements now confined to particular neighbor hoods, should be more generally known, and we propose, as it were through a speaking trump, to proclaim them through all the land. In addition we hope to publish a" paper into the columns of which, the agricultural citizen, heated and vex ed in the dust and whirlwind of the great hih road of "general politics," may turn as to a par terre, gay with flowers and adorned wilh refresh ing fountains. Not one word of politics shall enter the columns of our exclusively agricul tural Journal. There are a few other papers of an Agricultural type, published in the United States, but they are too local in their nature and do not sufficient ly discuss those "matters and things," which ap pertain to our farming and planting interests. I he Editor himself, has been a practical cultiva- iui ui an me staples ot the South, and he has the promised co-operation of many of the most weal thy and extensive Planters and Farmers of the Sout.h. From them he will receive communica tions of great value, detailing the "modus ope randi" of their management. The "Half Sheet" will be issued as soon as a specified number of subscribers are obtained. I oslmasters and others to whom subscription lists are, and will be sent, will be allowed the usual commissions upon collections. 1 Jrhf erms of lhe "Half Sheet" will be ONK DOLLAR ALWAYS in advance.
