Distressing Casualty. On
Tuesday afternoon last, Jacob
Leib, a yoUng man of German
birth, was drowned in Neuse riv
er. He was one of three on a
sailing party, when a flaw of wind
capsized the boat, which imme
diately sunk. . Unable to swim, he
soon went to the bottom: The
others were rescued by a boat
which immediately put off to their
relief. The fate of poor Left is
much lamented by all who knew
him: he was a mechanic, attached
to the dredging boat building here
for our Swash, and was industri
ous and remarkably ingenious.

Edcnton, May 22. The Uni
ted States Cutter Dallas, (late the
Vigilant,) commanded by Capt.
John A. Webster, arrived in this
harbor on Saturday morning last
from Ocracock, and sailed again
on Monday for Elizabeth City.
The Dallas is intended to cruize
in Pamptico and Albemarle
Sounds for the better protection
of the revenue, and will conse
quently be a frequent visiter to
our port. While here, she was
visited by numbers of our most
respectable citizens, who all bear
testimony to the neatness and
good order of every thing on
board, and the bland and gentle
manly deportment of Capt. Web
ster and his officers, who spared
no pains in explaining, to those
not conversant with nautical af
fairs, the economy and discipline
of an armed vessel. Gaz.
doors of our office: A young man
had drawn a large prize in one of
the lotteries and had just receiv
ed the proceeds, amounting to
near $8000. It drove him crazy
on the spot. No sooner had he
received the money than his sen
ses forsook him, and being ah ut
ter stranger in the city, he roam
ed through the streets like a mad
man, until going into a jeweller's
shop near Fourth street, he pur
chased a dagger, for which he of
fered to give an hundred dollars.
A crowd had folh-wed him to the
shop door, attracted by the singu
lar spcm.".le; and ihei he came
out sweating vehonicnlv thir ho
would kill the first mr.ri h" met, a
threat which his distorted senses
would certainly i:: v.? impelled
him to exutc. W;i ;': him in

Horrid Murder. A voting
married lady, the wife of Mr.
George Okhveil, who had been
married only five months, was
lately murdered near Nicholas
ville, Kentucky. She was found
dead in bed, where, from the
marks of violence, she had evi
dently been strangled by the ap
plication of a cord. A negro girl,
a slave, has been arrested, and
confesses her participation in the
guilt, but has not disclosed the
name of her accomplices. The
ldeed was committed during the
absence of the unhappy husband.
iV. . Courier.
Locusts. The Rutherfordton
Spectator says, the number of lo
custs that have made their appea
rance in that county and those
adjoining it to the east and south,
has never been equalled since the
recollectibn of the oldest citizens.
Every tree top, literally, has its
swarm, while every sound of the
woods and every tuneful melody
of the forest, is hushed and drow
ned in the hollow, unharrnonious
din of these ill-boding, unwel
come visitants.
The Vine. Dr. Herbermont,
of Columbia, S. C. is engaged in
the culture of the vine on a large
scale. He says that the dry soil
and sand hills not worth more
than fifty cents. an acre now, can
by cultivating the grape on it, be
brought to produce crops more
valuable than are. now got from
the richest lands. He calculates
that a vineyard in full bearing will
produce an average of 300 gal
lons per acre. The wine which
he now prepares sells readily at
S2 per gallon when three or four
months old.
Miseries of Wealth. The Phi
ladelphia Saturday Bulletin says:
"We witnessed a strange sight on
Thursday evening within a-few
Free Negroes, Free Cotton, fyc.
We learn from i tie last number of
the Genius of Universal Emanci
pation, that the agent of the blacks
who have lately removed from
Ohio to Canada, has written, that
assurance has been given to the
colonists, that they shall be per
mitted to enjoy equal rights with
British subjects. It is also sta
ted that societies of blacks have
been organized in Philadelphia,
Boston and elsewhere to promote
emigration.
We learn from the same source
of the existence of a 'Philadelphia
association for the use of free Cot
ton,' who have imported a quanti
ty prepared 'solely by the hands
of freemen,' " which the society
have put into the hands of a man
ufacturer; that an order for such
goods has already been received
here from a merchant in Indiana,
and that a 'free dry goods store'
has been opened in North Fifth
street.
Sting of a Wasp or Bee. The
following has been asserted to be
a remedy for this painful sensa
tion. Over the spot where the
sting has entered, apply the pipe
of a key, press it for a minute or
two, and the pain or swelling will
disappear. The tincture of opi
um, if immediately administer
ed, is said also to bo a certain
cure.
