that no $20 notes have the above

The charge of Forgery, which we
mentioned in our last, was not
substantiated. There was anoth
er case, which, at the time, exci
ted considerable interest. It was
a prosecution for breaking open a
grave, in our public grave yard,
and doing violence to the corpse
of a Stranger, who had just been
interred, for the purpose of obtai
ning his teeth! Two persons
were concerned in this scandalous
affair: one of them only was
brought to trial, lie was convic
ted and fined 825.-Register.
Encouraging. The Jail of
Rowan county is at this lime, and
has been for some weeks, entire

Sheriff and his family. And we
arc informed that not a single
writ has been returned to the pre

Convention, which is to be held
at Richmond, in October next,
for the purpose of amending the

from the character of the delegates
placed in nomination, there is no
doubt the Convention will be com

'called upon him and demanded

would go out and look for him.
On his return, be said he could
not then find him, but promised
to see him that evening; and give
him an answer in the morning.
Wicklifle was dissatisfied with the
delay, and after some warm wards
between them, shot Bennington in
the boy. It being uncertain
whether the wound would prove
mortal, Wicklifle was held to bail
in the sum of 6000. But Ben
nington expiring in about24 hours,
a warrant was issued against
Wicklifle for murder, but he had
made his escape.
