If these precursory symptoms are nut spee

I will not forget Thte.
I will not forget thee! the light of thy
brow,
An 1 the smile of thy lip, is the beam o'er
me now;
Will rise in my moments of darkness and
bring
To the winter of memory the greenness of
spring.
Though thou like the song bird of passage
will roam,
From our cold-hearted Tarboro to thine
ow n home;
Yet thy memory will hang round the bliss
thou hast made.
As the sun leaves its warmth when its light
hath decayed.
1 will not forget thee! upon this darki
earth,
A spirit like thine is more priceless in
worth,
Than the rock of whose splinters the In
dians do sing,
That each grain is a jewel might ransom a
king.
I will not forget thee! thine own gentle
powers,
Have formed the gold thread which hath
joined the heart's fl iwers;
And oh! while the wreath in existence
shall be
Will its fragrance in gratefulness flow unto
thee)
Farewell! and when age at the close of
time's strife
Shall breathe his chill air over the garden
of life;
Among the last flowers that shall yield to
her sptll,
Is the one 1 now love and favor so well.

COTTON PLANTER.
(jfVVe have this day seen a machine for
planting Cotton, which, we think, well
merits this notice. It was invented in
Yanceyville, N C. by two young men of
the name ot Minorand Phelps, who are
Carriage Makers, by trade; and for which
they have obtained a patent right. The
merits of the machinery consists in its
opening the furrow, sowing the seed, and
Covering it, which we are informed and
believe it does with more regularity than
can possibly be done in the usual way, all
in the same, time and with as much ease, as
simply ploughing a furrow. It is so con
structed as to be ued for planting Corn,
either in checks or drills.
Salisbury Watchman.
(fTA few weeks since two intimate
friends, at the Concord Academy, Va.
purchased of a fellow stueenta beautiful pair
of pistols, each taking one. While exam
ining their new purchase, one of them pla
cid a cap upon his and pointed it at his
friend, saying he could kill him at that
distance, and snapped the pistol. His
friend then presented his, in a playful way,
and said he could kill him the other' re
plied that he could not. He snapped the
pistol, it exploded, and his friend, to his
horror, fell mortally wounded, and died in
about ten days after. Neither of them
thought the pistols were loaded. This is
another of those warnings against the care
less use or play ing with deadly weapons,
with which all are familiar.
The Devil Incarnate. We have to
record a series of the most horrid murders
ever perpetrated by a single individual
who had been raised on human gore.
It appears by a verdict of the Jury cal
led by Jas. M. Williams, Esq. Coroner,
10 view the dead bodies of Betsy Freeman,
Eliza Freeman, her daughter, and two
small boys, children of said Eliz?, that on
the n-ght of Wednesday, the 22d ultimo,
James E. Lanier, living near the White
Oak Mountain in this County, accompanied
by three negro men (belonging to his fath
er,) whom he had procured to aid him in
the savage deed, proceeded to the house in
which the four persons above spoken of
resided, and after deliberately beheading
one or two of its inmates, did beat out the
brains of the others with an axe which he
had carried with him for the purpose.
Having despatched his victims, the wretch
piled their bodies in Ihe middle of the
floor, covered them with straw, which had
been previously procured by his accom
plices, and having set fire to them and to
the house, returned home xvell pleased with
the desolation he had wrought.
We are sorry to say that the circumstan
ces of this tragical event are greatly agera-

was held yesterday at Mrs. Margaret

the body of William Nevius, her husband '
aged 50, a native of England. He was a
cooper by trade, had been married 2S
years, bad several children, and worked
in a shop on a lot in the rear of his resi

Fatal Disease. A disease, most fatal in
j i's attacks has made its appearance in Ten
nessee. I he Paris Press of the 4th ult.
records four deaths in one family, and a
number of others had taken place. The
victims were taken with a dull, heavy pain
across the forehead, accompanied with
some difficulty in breathing, soreness of
the throat, a slight, vague shudder of the
system that could scarcely be called a chill,
followed by a general and rapid prostration
of the nervous system, which terminated
in death in the course of a few hours.
fl rogue caught in his oivn trap. A
singular incident occurred during the holy
days on the opposite side of the river.
Two ladies who resided in Illinois came to
the city to make purchases. A well-dressed
man followed them into several stores,
at one of which one of them got a ten dol
lar bill changed, receiving the change in
small bills. In the evening, on their return
home when a short distance from the Fer
ry in thepraiiie, the same man they had
seen in the city rode up to them and de
manded their mony. The one who had
the money drew- it out, and in attempting
to hand it up to him the wind caught the
bills and carried them off on the ground
I he man dismounted to picu tnem up
and as soon as he was down the ladies put
... . .
whip to their horses and made off as fast as
possible. On their way they heard the
clatter of a horse's hoofs following them,
but were too much terrified to stop or look
back. V hen they reached their own gate,
behold, the lobber's horse was with them,
a fine animal with a good saddle and a pair
of saddle bags, &c. but the man was no
where insight; the) suppose his horse es
caped while he was picking up the bills.
On examining the saddle-bags a large sum
of money was found and several articles of
wearing apparel, but nothing by which his
name cou'ld be discovered. Up to Satur
day last no one bad appeared to claim the
horse or property.
The above facts we have from a respec
table gentleman of this city, who assures
us that, singular as the circumstances may
appear, they are strictly correct.

Ticelve rnonllis Clock. A correspon
dent of (he Newark, N. J. Advertiser has
furnished the editor of that journal with
the annexed account of a curious and im
portant invention by an ingenious mechan
ic of that city:
I sen in your paper a notice of a Clock
recently indented by Aaron D. Crane, of
this city. Having had some opportunity
of scein and testing its movements, I can
assure you, Mr. Editor, that it is a most
remarkable piece of mechanical ingenuity
and must form quite an epoch in the histo
ry of Horology . Mr. Crane's ingenuity
has been exhibited on former occasions.
The clock which he erected in the steeple
of Trinity church, in this city is probably
unequa.fed as a chronometer by any in the
U. States. During the past season it has
hardly, at times, varied more than a min
ute in a month. The time-keeping part is
down in the body of the steeple, just above
.he fiont door by which you enter the
church, 60 feet below the dial, while the
only connexion is a slender wire. Of
course it is entirely unaffected by wind or
weather, and always indicates the true
time, even when the hands on the external
dial are stopped by incrustations of ice or
any derangement in the works above.
n-r-r-r rr-i'm mm mnmn
The principle on which the cl ick' is con
rooted ii
s prodigy that of a ip-chrono-
meter, 01. ly that the pendulum in used in
place of the balance. The pendulum ihere
for c is wholly detached and there is the
least possible amour.t of friction.
liul Mr Crane's grniu.s was not satifje!
to rest here. His busy mind was contin
ually 0:1 the alert, until one of those acci
dents, as it were, which have ushered in
almost all the great discoveries of inodero
''imcs. suggested to liim a new nd .-implo
phwi by vvhich to nscaMiiv the progress o!
time. He had for some purpose or other
suspended a weiglit by a slender spring
and given it an impulse which communi
cated a rotary motion. After a certain
lime the motion was iev r.ed by the re-action
of ike .spring; We have seen t'u
same thin-jj probably an hundred limes.
Many an apple fell b.fore Newton's time
and many u tea kettle lid was raised before
Fulton made his steamboat. Hut it was
reservtd for a mechanic of our city to ap
ply s simple a movement to the art of
time-keeping. It was the thought of an
instant. And I well icmcmber the ex
prcssion of countenance, w hen he came to
me immediately afterward and communi
cated his discovery. It certainly was
with the feeling, if not in the language oi
Archimedes when he iiishe 1 for h from
his baih with th solution of the problem
respecting Iliero s crown.
The principle once discovcrc 1 there
was still great difficulty in its application,
and it has not been until afn. f month
(nearly a year, indeed,) of patient study
and toilsome labor, that he has at length
brought hi plan to perfection, and produ
ced a clock--the f.llow of which the
world has never seen. In the train which
belongs to the time-kecpirg part theie aie
but four whc ls two additional bents re
ts quired for striking. The whole is moved
by one power, hardly equal to that of on
eight-day clock, and when onre wound
up will go with the sun thioughout his
annua! course. In bulk, it is ;.bou! equal
to the common French mantel dock, and
can be made to suit any taste or fancy.
Hut its most remarkable property and
greatest excellency, is the extreme accura
cy with which it is calculated to keep
time. A great variety of experiments
have enabled him to supply a spring which
is perfectly isochronal, arid of course when
properly regulated, the movement must
be entirely faultless. Having now secu
red a patent, as well in Europe as in this
county, the clock will doubtless soon be
before the public, when they can judge for
themselves.

of
Double Suicide The fleets f passion
terribly illustrated yesterday by Ihe sui
cide of a husband and wife under the fol
lowing circumstances. A pav ior named
Daniel Hoan, aged 42, residing in the up
per part of the house No. IV.i Mulberry
street, had an altercation with his wife
yesterday about two of his children by a
former w ife. They were sitting at din
ner, from which he jumped up went into
another room, and took a musket loaded
with ball, and p'aecd it in such a position
as to enable him to fire the contents into
his left side The ball passed upwirds
through his heart, and killed him instan
taneously. The wife heard the repoif,
and heard the noise caused by the fall of
her husband's lifeless hotly on the fl ?or.
Herself and the children, about whom
thev had been hotly in dispute, ran into
ihe" room, and the appalling sight which
presented itself so affected her that she
instantly snatched up and swallowed a
quantity of bed bug poison corrosive sub
limate. The shrieks of the children and
the noise of the gun bad, by this time, a
larmed ihe other inmates of the house who
on discovering what had occuricd sent for
medical assistance, which was immediate
ly procured, and directed to the woman,
but it availed her nothing. She lingered
for a few hours in great aony and died.
The tongue was enormously swollen, and
protruded from the mouth and therlomach
presented the usual appearance of intense
inflammation. A small poition of the con
tents of the bottle remained, and on being
tested, were found to he what was suppo
sed, a strong solution of the corrosive mu
riate of mercury. Verdict in both cases,
death by suicide. Hogan was a respec'able
tradesman, and both he and his w ife had
always borne good characters.

We lulu e that it made its first appear
ance in Ilerifoidshiie and Leicestershire,
from which counties gr at numbers of its
members have lately emigrated to the Uni
ted St t s. The sect has extended to Lau
easfcridiro and Yorkshire by the l ibor of
its preachers, and is now ttavelling vnoiih-;
ward in1o Durham, and Northumberland:
The "Latter day Saints" assume to do ma
ny ex'raordinary things. Among other
accomplishments peculiar to tho-e who be
lieve in the new doctrines, they are de
cided to possess ihe power of casting out
devils or curing the sick by hying hands
on them, of resisting the operations of the
deadliest poisons, of speaking with nt-iv
tongues, and of working miracles of va
tious kinds. In addition to the Bible,
ihey state that they are in possession of
another work of equal authority, entitled,
"The Hook of M01 moil," the original of
which was found engraved in brass plates

Mahommediins and Jews. Striking

the following passage copied Irom the
QuaMerly Observer" of that year.
Mahomine(ianism his iis principal s at
in Turkey. Heieiofore it has raised there
a haughty front against the religion of Je
sus Christ. Its laws have imposedjiribute,
or the forfeiture of life, on unbelievers, &
denounced inevitable death on apostates. "
Its aitiiiuie is now far different, as will
be seen from the following paragraph from
an English paper.
"On the 30:h of November, art
assembl) was convoked at Constantinople,
at which the Grand Seignior, the high offi
cers of Si;.te, of tbe Army and of HeMgion,
Representatives from Foreign Powers,
and the Heads ol the several Lnristiau
Sects, weic present. Before thtm and the
people, the Hah Pasha, ihe Commander in
Chief, in the name of the Sultan, read the
Haiti Scheriff, which is a Proclamation t'f
Religious Liberty to all.
On ibis interesting event, ihe Editor of
the "New Yoik Star," Mordecai M.
Noah, himself a Jew, makes the following
remark:
"This -at onre raises to the degree of
citizens and freemen, four millions of Jews,
many of whom inhabit, as captives, the
land of their heritage; Dispenses to each;
equal liberty and equal law and if honestly
carried out, is the most important step in
ihe restoration ol the Jews, which has been
taken since their dispersion, and may be
deemid a wonderful sign in the East."
Ji late London n;per says: There
st ems to be a movement among the Con
tinental Jews in relation to the late events
in the East. The following is ihe conclu
ding paragraph of an address to the Jews,
published!, the Der Oiienf, a German
new paper: .
"People of Jehovah, raise yourselves
from your thousand years' slumber! Ral
ly round leaders! hive really the will, a
Moses will not be wanting. The right of
nations will never grow old; take posses
