Married, in Alashua, Raft Florida,
Hon. Judge Hall, to Miss Dorothy Deer
iiiiT, lute of Portsmouth, N. U.-
The Portsmouth Journal gives the fol
lowing history of this lady as a specimen
of Yankee female enterprise:
"Several years since this very respecta
ble young lady, who was in a state of
"single blessedness," opened a milliner's
shop and fancy good store in this town,
he prosecuted ber business with suc
cess for some time, and made considera
ble money; but at length there was a se
vere depression in the various depart
ments of trade among our citizens, and
the milliner suffered in common with
her neigbors, although ber complaints at
this decline of busines were by no means
so loud as theirs. She had a large stock
of goods, on hand, for such an establish
ment, and not few of them had become
shop worn and rusty. As for staying in
this dull town any longer where-there
was no prospect either for marriage or
money she said she could not. So she
settled up her affairs as fast as she could.
with a determination to seek her fortune
somewhere else. She packed up her
stodk of goods, which amounted to be
tween two and three thousand dollars and
shipped them to East Florida, where she
went herself also. In a few months she
wrote back tidings to her friends in
Portsmouth, stating that she had n pros
perous journey, had opened shop, found
business brisk, and had sold merchan
dize at profit of fifty per cent. She has
resided in Florida two or three years
has been fortunate in all her speculations
in buying and selling English and Amer
ican dry goods enjoyed fine health, and
made a great many acquaintances and
friends. Last and best of all, she has got
married to a very wealthy widower, and
writes back word, that Florida is the
place for heri She says also, that there
arc other chances in Florida nearly as
good as Iter's,
Onondaga and Seneca Indians. A
proposition was lately made by the Gov
ernment to the remnants of these to ac
cept of certain lands at Green Boy in ex
change for their possessions in New
York. This they refused at a recent
meeting held at the Council House at
Buffalo creek. The following are the
resolutions passed on that occasion.
They are signed by 50 of the Chiefs and
head men of the tribes:
Resolved. That we, the chiefs and
head men of the Seneca and Onondaga
nations of Indians, are now possessed of
lands within this state amply sufficient for
ourselves and our children, and that we
imve no inclination whatever to remove
therefrom.
Resolved, That we will not accept the
proposition made to us by the Secretary
of War, through our agent, to appoint a
delegation to witness a survey of lands
at Green Bay, nor will we in anywise in
terest ourselves concerning said proposition.
ized themselves for the purpose of break
ing up the establishment. Their (the
Mormoniie) printing press was thrown
down, store and machine shop broken
up, the leaders tarred and feathered,
and a time set for their departure.
What course may be pursued towards the
follower, is not yet known.
Balloons. Mr. Durant, the celebrated
Aeronaut, made his seventh ascension on
I hursday week at Albany, New York.
I he ascent is stated to have been made
in his best style, and that every thing
conspired to render it gratifying to the
immense concourse of spectators (nearly
4000) who had assembled to witness it.

JNTOTSOn.
ON Sunday last, a free man of color
by the name of JAMES MAR LOW,
absented himself from this county, ta
kins; with him his wife and child.
From the conduct of said Marlow before his de
parture, there is good reason to believe that he
has under false represenlations, persuaded off his
wife and child, with the intent, through the aid
of a white man by the name of Jesse Harrison,
of selling them.
James Marlow is a dark mulatto, slender made,
with two or three dark specks in one of his eyes.
His wife, Mary Ann, is also a dark mulatto, ve
ry thin, about 22 years of age, with a chub nose.
The child is a girl, by the name of Cynthia Pry
or, about 12 months old.
Jesse Harrison is a small man, very thin, dark
hair, iias the appearance of being 30 or 40 years
old. He went off with a horse and carryall,
containing the bedding and other clothing of said
free persons.
They will endeavor to make their way fo
some of the Western Stales. The friends of hu
manity are requested to aid in the apprehension
of the said villains and give information to her
distracted parents.

Family Steamer.
rjHHK Subscriber has obtained the patent riht
of this useful invention for Edgecombe coun
ty and now offers them for sale. It is admirably
adapted, from its simplicity, its easy application,
and ils various and important uses, to the conve
nience and comfort of the neat and industrious
housewife. It is a portable steam generator,
whose principal object is to assist in creating and
preserving cleanliness, to destroy obnoxious in-'
seem and vermin, and to prevent their increase.
It is used without trouble or inconvenience, and
supersedes the annoying application of water in
many eases. That vexatious and indispensable
ceremony, which is after all too often ineffectu
al, the cleaning of bedsteads, may be performed
most thoroughly by the aid of this apparatus,
without taking them apart or removing them,
and without the slightest injury to the floor or
carpet upon which they stand. Not a bug or
other insect can possibly escape the searching
and destructive power of this instrument. For
cleansing furniture, removing spots from paint,
purifying varnish, cleansing windows and look
ing glasses, picture frames, maps, &c. it is most
completely adapted. Its penetrating power is
truly wonderful. The smallest crack or fissure
may be thoroughly searched and every thing
harbored there effectually removed. It may be
useful too to destroy worms, which so often in
fest fruit trees, without injuring the trees them
selves; and to remove skippers from bacon with
out affecting the meat. In fine, in those nume
rous essential family operations, which, while
they contribute to neatness, health and comfort,
are so often full of trouble and vexation to the
matron and to all about her, it is almost an in
valuable auxiliary, and when it shall be introdu
ced into general use I have no doubt it will rank
among the must valuable and indispensable arti
cles of housewifery. It is capable likewise of
being employed in many cooking operations to
great advantage. It will, lor example, boil eggs
or potatoes with great ease and in a most excel
lent manner.
