There were also great numbers of pri vate bills which would be entirely uninter esting to our readers, and would occupy room to little purpose, and we therefore o mit them. 'There were 94 Public Acts, 13 Resolu tions, and 189 Private Acts. A Child lost Great Excitement A circumstance recently occurred in Person County, that tends to a fleet the hardest heart. It appears that the wife of a Mr. Panter, of the. aforesaid county, h d oeca sion, on Wednesday before last, to visit a neighbor living about a mile off in doing so she left her children at home, in therare of some one capable of taking care of them She had not been g ne long before a little boy not exceeding four ye ns of age, start ed off, unobserved to go to her. But ihe little fellow wandered out of the way and became so bewihh red that heqih the road md roved about in the woods. He was, in ihe course of that day missed the alarm was made and (he neignbors assembled and quickly proceeded to hunt him. Th-y scoured the woods, by clay aud by night, for four miles around, but they found him not day followed day and night followed night yet no tidings could be had of ihe lost boy! lint on Saturday, the fourth day ol the child's absence when despair, grief and agony had fixed dee) in his pa rents hearts and when the huntsmen had given up the hunt the poor little fellow was found by a gentleman (who had not heard of the melancholy occurrence,) eight miles from home Mr. Morris, the gen tleman who found the child, happened to be in the woods hunting deer, and a hound puppy that followed at his heels, was ob served to start, suddenly, and run clown 10 a branch and growl at this moment a fee ble voice was heard to echo from a cluster of bushes, "Please, sir, don't let your dog bite me!" Mr. Morris repaired to the spot, and found the child in the midst of a group of bushes, where he had evidently hid, on seeing or hearing his benefactor, to avoid discovery, (for it is a singular fact that lost persons become wild alter be ing lost a short lime, and will dodge or run from the human species they even shun farms for fear of being seen we know of an instance where a stout tail that uas lost, on bring discovered by a gentleman who was hunting him, ran wildly from the. hunter, and it was with difficulty that he was overtaken.) Mr. Morris asked the child what accounted for his bcini in the woods? The boy answered, "I'm looking for my mother." He was then asked where he slept the over night he replied that he slept with his sister. He could not tell how long he had been out from home, and appeared unconcerned, though very hungry. 'The skin on the end of the poor little lellows fingers was considerably prick ed, in consequence of gathering chmquo pins to eat and his fingers and mouth were besmeared with grape stain. The joy of the Parents, on recovering, a live, their lost boy, cannot be imagined, much less described suffice it to S3y, that teais, unprompted by the ties of relation ship, gushed trom many an eye. Milton Gazette. Nag"s Head. We would call the atten tion of our readers to the fact that a small channel at Nag's Head Inlet will be open ed on Friday morning next. Some fiftv or more hands have been working on it for some lime past, and with the increased force at present at work, a channel twenty feet wide and four feet deep will be open ed on that clay. This enterprise is owing to the spirit aud liberality of some influen tial individuals, who spend the summer at INag s Head. II the attempt should not wholly succeed, it will at least prove the practicability of opening the Inlet, and tend to draw the attention of the public to it. Some hundreds ot persons will proba bly be present to see the opening, and we iiope this may lead to still greater e lions, and the day may not be distant when the Inlet will become a highway from this- place to the ocean. Old North State. fjOn the 22nd inst., a large riffe bal was removed, by Doc t. Wm. C. Tate, o Hurke, from the body of Mr. John Duck worth, an aged revolutionary soldier. TiV ball was received by him whie engaged in the battle fought at Ramsour's Bridge. It entered the leftarin,a short distance be low the shoulder joint, and embedded it sell under the external edge of the pectoral muscle, where it has remained until the" time of its removal, a period of s"xty-twd years, tt-i removal became necessary, in consequence of the gr eat in i'ation and in fl "nation its pressure produced, to the surrounding integument for the last few months. Highland Messenger. '83 A Law Tract, by Benjamin Swaim Esq. of R mdolpli, was handed us for in spection a few da v s ago. It's title is "The No:th Carolina Road Law " I he indus trious author h is divided th; 99 sections of the Chapter of the Revised Statutes con cerning Ro ids. Fen ies and Bridges into distinct h. -ads with short notes and com ments on each, and with appropriate refer ence to the English Authorities and the de cisions of the Supreme Court on the mat ters noticed the whole comprised in a pamphlet of 40 pages a very useful and valuable compilation to all who have an in terest in the Public Roads of the country, and every man has such an interest as binda him to contribute, either in money or la bor, t keep the public rads in proper re pair and enforce a penalty against those w.io neglect it. Carolina Watchman. More Indian Murders in Florida. The A pahehicola Journal of the 9th instant gives the following account of Indian mur ders recently commuted. A family by the name of Perkins, re siding about 17 miles from Mariana, Jack son county, were most inhumanly murder ed by the Indians, about ihe 1st of this mouth. Mr. Perkius, Ids wife, and four children, wvie butchered in a most brutal manner. One child escaped, after being wounded by an arrow shot. Three gentlemen started in pursuit from Holmes's Valley came up with them, eight or nine in number, when the Indians came and told them in English that they would give ihem a fair light. Mr. James Long fired in their midst, and one Indian was observed to fall; the Indians gathered around their fallen comrade, when the pursuing party made their retreat with safety. The above is authentic." Georgia Flour. According to a para graph in the Macon Telegraph, the manu facture of flour, of Georgia wheat, for home; consumption, is greally on the increase. It is asserted that, within a few years past, an immense sum has been invested in the erection of flour mills." The quality of the wheat, it is also said, is equal to any produced ele where. fl Fight Death in the Ring. Ano ther ot tnose icvolting exhibitions yclept a prize fight," got up in New Yor k between two persons: bearing the names of Lilly and McUoy, came ofJ'according to appointment on Tuesday last, in Weslchet r county, about twenty miles above New York, whither the cont nding parties and a num ber of spectators were conveyed fiom the4 City in steamboats. The particulars of this fight, are shocking beyond description McCoy, though bleeding frOtrl the first round, continued the fight with indomita ble obstinacy for two hours and forty-one minutes, during which time he mel his an tagonist in one hundred and nineteen rounds, for the last twenty of which hd seemed only to ri-e up that he might be knocked down again; and, finally, when he could no longer "come up to time," the palm of victory was awarded to Lilly, and poor McCoy passrd into eternity ! On the return of the party lo New Yor It a number of arrests were marie, and the Mayor and Police were on the ah rt to se cure the principals, seconds, backers, &c. rjyMr. Evans Casselberry, of St. LoU is has obtuned a patent for winding up a clock, by means of the expansive power of mercury, produced by the ordinary changes in the temperature of the atmos phere. This is, in elF-ct, a "-perpetual 7notion" because, if a clock be kept wound up, it will run as long as the machinery lasts Riot at St. Catharine's, V. C The apprehensions which have been euteittin ed for some time past at St. Catharine's, in consequence of the large colled ion of un employed ami destiiute labor; rs, have, as we le.un from the papers, been at last more than realized. 'The Muft'do Commercial states that on last Wednesday morning the aborcis assembled in large masses, with banners bearing various devices and in s -riptrons, and proceeded to supply their wants with 'he strong hard. All efforts to urest theii proceedings were trnavalirrp The Catholic priest resident there, inform n. thp authorities that all his efforts to re st rain them had proved us less, that they i i i i. vere oesperate men, and womu w .rfood. The town was completely given ip to them, none daring o make any re istance Several stores and mills were dundered of goods ami flour, and an Ameri can schooner bound down was boarded; ,nd plundered of ihe pork which formed jar t of her cargo.
