(TTThe following article is calculated
to excite unusual interest on account of
the apparently authentic shape in which
it appears, and the particular manner in
wnicii the tact ot the invention is stated:
Wonderful Invention. A watchmaker of
the name oi Buschmann, living at Ersenberg,
not far from Allonburg, in Saxony, has contrived
a piece of machinery, which, without the assist
ance of steam, has been found strong enough to
move a neavny jacien wagon, placed in a fresh
ploughed field, wilh the greatest ease, although
lb Dorses could not stir it. The machine may
be easily handled, and the vehicle moved by it
most safely managed. The inventor has been
offered 200,000 dollars for the secret; but as he
had obtained patents from all the principal Ger
man uovernments, he has relused all offers.
Deputation by the British Govern-
inent. Messrs. Crawford and Newman,
deputed by the British government to
make inquiries respecting the Penitenti
ary system of this country, have passed
through this city on their way to Wash
ington. It is to be hoped that they will
receive every facility in the prosecution of
their object from all those to whom they
may apply. It is certainly satisfactory
to know that nations are rivalling each
other in criminal jurisprudence, and as
connected wilh it, in prison discipline.

da Tow, both of St. Clair township.
This buxom damsel made a net,
Intricately of Tow,
It seems that she was fully set
To catch the Silken beau.
I have read the metamorphoses
Of Cupid o'er and o'er,
But such an uncouth change as this,
I never heard before.
Wh3t strange fantastic whims do dwell
In both high and low,
She likes to handle Silk full well,
While he prefers the Tow.
Now every day this new made wife,
May honey sip and milk,
And if she don't dress well thro' life,
'Tis not for want of Silk.

KTAt the last term of the Superior

Dreadful Murder. We find in the
Franklin (Lou.) Republican, of the 3d
ult. under the head of "Meurtre Horri
ble," the following appalling particulars.
A negro woman, a resident of Franklin, was
detected in the latter part of March, in the inhu
man act of drowning her mistress' infant child
The poor little innocent had scarcely breathed
its last, when the atrocious deed was discovered.
No cause has been assigned for the perpetration
ol this inhuman outrage. From several circum
stances, it is believed that this is not her first of
fence. Mr. Watford has had three children
drowned within the last three years, and the
woman in question is now suspected of having
drowned the whole of them.
(E?A disorder which is called' "La
Grippe," has broken out in Russia, and it
is said caused general consternation. In
St. Petersburg!!, three-fourths of the
workmen employed in the different fac
tories have been attacked by it. In the
lower town the number of sick is in the
proportion of 9 to 1G healthy persons
thirty ol the principal merchants were un

symptoms are a sore throat and violent

of the body.

22 or 23 years old, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high,

hair which is as knotty as the negro's usually is,
has long lips, large feet and long toes, has a down
look when spoken to, had on when he went off
dark clothes and a black furred hat. He will
probably lurk about Dr. Hall's plantation near
Tarborough, where his father and mother are,
until he can procure free papers to pass to a free

the above reward to any person who will confine
him in some jail within this State so that I get
