FROST.—By Miss Gould.
The Frost looked forth, one still dear night,
And he said, “ Now I shall be out of sight,
So through tho valley and over the height,
In silence I’ll take my Way;

The wind and the snow—the hail and the rain,
Who make so much bustle and noise in vain,
But I’ll be as busy as they!”

Then ho went to the mountain and powdered its
crest,
He climbed up the trees, and their boughs he dres
' sod
With diamonds and pearls, and over tlie breast
Of the quivering lake he spread
A coat of mail, that it need not fear
The downward point of many a spear,
That he hung on the margin far and near,
Where a rock could rear its head.
He went to tho windows of those who slept,
And over each pane like a fairy crept,
Wherever he breathed, wherever he stepped,
By the light of the moon, were seen
Most beautiful things. There were flowers and
trees,
There were bevies of birds, and swarms of beci.—
There were cities, thrones, temples and towers!
and these
All pictured in silver sheen. i
But he did one thing that was hardly fair;
He went to the cupboard, and finding there,
That oil had forgotten for him to prepare,
"Now, just to set them a thinking,
I’ll bite this basket of fruit,” said he;
“This bloated pitcher I’ll bite in three!
And tlie glass of water they'vo left for mo
Shall ‘tchick’ to tell them I’m drinking!”

Wo learn that the tragedy entitled The Moor
ish Bride, (the production of an American ladf'
which obtained the Pelby prize of 8500, will
soon produced on the Philadelphia boards. The
great merit of this tragedy makes us particularly
glad that it is to be first acted in this city. Judg-
mg from_ the impression which a perusal of the
manuscript has left upon our minds, we should
anticipate decisive success and permanent popu
larity for it in case it be well represented. What
has all merit for the closet, may not be perfectly
adapted for the stage ; we regard this compost
tion as calculated to win favor evory where.

In a New York paper, we find tho following:
Caution.—A schoolmaster in Rensselaer couu
ty, New York, has been fined one thousand dol
lars for kissing one of his femalepupils.
Tho case of the gallant, gay Lothario, is thus
wittily sketched by another contemporary:
A Hard Case.—A Yankee schoolmaster—a
teacher of Chirography—not long since located
himself in Rensselaer county, New York, and
commenced a school under the most favorablo
auspices. He gathered around him a score of
pupils, most of whom were of the fairer order of
creation. One, in particular, was we understand,
a very angel in features; one of our beautiful
country maidens, which spring up in their seclu
sion, fair as the wild flowers in their nativo val-
lies. As might have been oxpected she played
iniquity with the heart of the schoolmaster. Day
after day he sat by her side,—guided her taper
fingers, and felt her dark tresses lightly sweep
ing his cheek, as she loaned with him towards the
manuscript. It was too much—human philoso-
>hy could not stand it. Iu a luckless moment,
to pressed his lips to her cheek, and imprinted
upon it one of those kisses in which
" The lip lingers like some bee
Sipping a favorite flower.”
And tvhat think you, gentle reader, was tho re
sult of all this? Why—the unfortunate chirogra-
pher was prosecuted for his lecture on kissing,
and turned adrift with a fine of 81000 hanging
over his shoulders, liko tho pack of Bunyan’s
pilgrim. Far be it from ns to undervalue the
charms of tho youug lady; but really, if she sets
such an exorbitant price upon her cheek, it
will bo a long day wo opine, before sho has ano
ther opportunity to exact it.
Singular Conflict.—Last week, Mrs. Savago
of tho Bluo Bell Inn, Market Place, Newark,
hoariug a great noise in the stables belonging to
tho house, which are situated at the top oftho
yard, proceeded cautiously, and opened tnedoor,
when to her astonishment, she beheld a most ter
rible engagement betpreen ono of her heus and a
large male rat, which continued for somo lime,
but ended in favor of the hen, who killed Ute rat.
Nothing could exceed the fury of the attacks
of the hen, which tlie rat could not evade, nor
could it get away, although it attempted several
times, for whenever it run, she seized it by the
neck, flung it back, and then pouncing upon it
with her beak, tore tho flesh every time. It is
supposed the engagement arose from tho rat at
tempting to seizo one oftho ben’s chickens as it
passed aloug, when the hon, not considering her
own danger, immediately flew at tho rat, and
placing herself bciwccu it and tlie chickens, kept
him from them uutil he was destroyed.—Staro-
ford Champion ■
A large Apple.—Wo have been shown a very
largo Apple, which weighed 23 ounces and meas
ured 15} inches in circumference. The apple
appeared to be perfectly sound, and was or the
kind called Pound Sweeting. It was from the
farm of Mr. Gcorgo T. Wager, of Brunswick, in
this county.—Portland Advertiser.
New Virtues of Gold.—hi. Magendie has mado
a favorable report to the Royal Academy of Sci
ences of Paris on the efficacy of gold "in acting
favorably on tho digestive organs, without weak
ening tho patient, and at tho same time producing
an exliiliration of spirits." (We had supposed,
by the bye, that tins was an old discovery.] Ho
says, there are "four ways in which jt may be
aacantageously administered. First, metallic gold
reduced to a state of extreme division; second,
the oxide of* chloride with potash; third, the ox
ide of gold with tin; fourth, the pcrchlorido of
gold and sodium. Of these the last b by far tho
most powerful. It is applied by mixing three
p arts of tlie percbloride of gold and sodium with
nine parts of any inert powder, and administer
ed by way of friction on tho tongue, in doses, va-
rymg according to circumstances, from one-thir
tieth to one third of a grain per day. As much
as a grain has been given with safety, but this
requires care. This is the least expensive of all
, tbe preparations of gold.” These applications
ere made in cases of syphilis, in lieu of mercury;
of which the work professes to give several strik
ing and well reported cases. New light is thus
continually breakiug in upon us from the labors
of scientific men. The wav in which it was
most frequently and certainly administered, to
the advantage of the patient, and for tho cxhili-
ration of his spirits, was quantum suf. of a dose
applied to tho palms of his hands. The great
difficulties in these cases, was to know, first, how
much was proper for a dose, and secondly, where
it was to be obtained.—Richmond Compiler,
In tho year 1818, tho first attempt was made
to establish a systematic intercourse by sea
between this City and New Orleans, by putting
up one small ship as a regular trader. Thu fall,
tue arrangements of tho lines will include twenty
fine ships, besides a great number of transient
vessels.—New York Paper.
The bandit Nat Turner.—We understand (says
tho Richmond Enquirer of the 18th inst.) by a
letter from Fincaslle of tho 12th instant, that a
negro man named Billy, belonging to Mr. Ken-
nelly, was arrested on tho 10th inst. on a charge
of being concerned with Nat Turner in raising an
insurrection iu Botetourt county. He was carri
ed before an examining court tho next day and
sent on for further trial. It was generally sup
posed, that Nat had been in tho neighborhood
for several days before ho was seen on Prico’s
Mountain. Tho testimony against Billy was not
very cloar, but “I think (says our corrcspoudcnt)
he only wanted an opportunity to do mischief.”
“I called at Mr. Price's os I came over the
mountain, on Monday last, to see the book and
clothes taken from tho negro supposed to be Nat
Turner. Mr. Price told me that a few days af
ter he was seen, somo freo negroes from the
neighborhood came to his house to make ar
rangements to set out immediately for Ohio,
which induced him to bcliove Nat was among
them. He accordingly equipped himself, and re
paired to the free negroes’ house. Several of
them told him a negro man had been there, and
described him as agreeing almost directly with
tho Governor’s description of Nat Turner. Mr.
Price shewed me a coat and book taken from him.
The coat was a blue cloth one, such as are gen
ed and standing collar. In tho book was writ
ten “Mcsbeck Turner”—and in another placo
"richman whether, bis book”—tho latter in a
negro or child’s manner of writing, and I think
intended for Richmond Wheeler—probably somo
negro’s name. IIo has not been heard of sinco
that timo."
Supposed death of Nat Turner.—Wo arc favor
ed (says tho Richmond Compiler of tho 17th in
stant) with the following letter addressed to the
Governor, received by the last western mnil:
t Lewisburg, October 11.
Dear Sir—I have received information [to
me] so convincing of the fact that Nat Turner
has been drowned in attempting to cross New
Rivor, and believing it will be some satisfaction
to tho public to know that the wretch has been
mnished by tho justice of the Deity for his of
fence, I think it proper to communicate tho cir
cumstances to you. It appears that, after es
caping from tho two hunters on Price's Mountain,
he was routed at the Gap Mills in Monroe, and
seen bv several persons between that and Bow-
ycr’s Ferry, where ho called on tho 25th ult. to
get over the river. Mr. Bibb, the ferryman, de
manded bis pass and asked him some questions,
at which he broke and took up the river. Some
uine or ten days after, a drowned person was
seen floating by tho Ferry. Mr. Bibb and somo
of his neighbors followed, and got him out somo
six or eight miles below. He had in his pockets
and about him a large knife, [Spanish] dirk, pis
tol, and something like a diamond.* Mr. Bibb
recognized this person to bo tho same, who call
ed to cross the river—and all with whom I have
conversed agree, that if it were Nat Turner who
was seen on Price’s Blountoin, it was he who has
been drowned; aud that ho suits the description
given in your Excellency’s proclamation in every
particular, except tho knot on bis arm, which
was not examined.
Very respectfully, your most obedient servant,
GEORGE ALDERSON.
To the Governor of Virginia.
* Another letter speaks of (t as a watch.
guard kept up night and day. A white woman
was arrested at North West Fork Bridge, (about
twenty-two miles from this placo) under tho fol
lowing circumstoncos:
"A black man communicated to Dr. Nichob
(our representative) and Mr. Kcnnon, that there
was a white woman from Philadelphia, sent to
instruct tho negroes how they might succoed iu
their conspiracy. Ho told them that ho know ho
was not a witness against a white person, but that
if they would come to his house that evening,
(she was to bo there) they should hear for them
selves. Thoy did so, and heard what sho had to
say: she told tho black man that if they wonted
arms, to write on to the Bishop of the Bcthlemito
Church in Philadelphia, and ho would furnish
them, together with such advice as thoy might
want in their undertaking. She was immediate
ly secured and sent to this place and lodged in
jail to await her trial."
Free Negroes.—Petitions to tho legislature are
circulating for signatures in Virginia, calling the
attention of that body to the subject of freo ne
groes, and suggesting the propriety of adopting
measures for their removal from the State.
Tho recent movements of tho people of color
in Virginia and North Carolina, have justly a-
wakened public attention to that class of popula
tion, and nave produced a general convictiou that
congress should seriously take tho subject of co
lonization in hand. A correspondent of tho Rich
mond Whig recommends the appropriation oftho
surplus revenuo (after tho national debt shall
have been paid) to this object, and wo cheerfully
respond to tho recommendation, for we believe
that tho money could not bo better expended.—
The sovcral legislatures of the slave-holding
States would doubtless co-operate with congress.

A company of enterprising gentlemen have
commenced the manufacture of hosiery in oil

the town. Tho machinery is the invention of a
clergyman, and was causod by seeing his “lady

words, while paying his addresses to a young la
dy whoso chief occupation was knitting, bo was
induced to mako tho experiment of performing
the work by machinery, aud succeeded. It is of

and they are tended exclusively by females.—
Those who are familiar with tho working of them
can produce four pair a day, and the most expert
receive twolvo dollars a month. Some of the
work shown was very fino and beautiful. Stock
ings aro also manufactured by machinery in
Philadelphia, but there b no regular establishment
there for that purpose. There aro probably one
hundred looms in use, but tboy are scattered
through tho city. There are two in Reed street
in your city. In Boston there is a regular estab
lishment of twcuty-eignt looms. The factory
in thb town has more orders than it can execute.

“Last Friday evening, Mr. John Henry Lewis
was murdered by his negroes, iu tho night, while
he was in bed. They robbed tho house of all the
most valuable articles, and then destroyed it by
fire—^burning up the body of their master. Mr.
Lewis had no family, and was one of the most re
spectable inhabitants of the county. The neigh
bors of Mr. Lowis generally believed for a day or
two, that tho house bad caught fire by accident,
but circumstances arose to cause suspicion that
the whole of this atrocious affair was tho act of
Mr. L's negroes. They were taken up, and fi
nally marie a full confession. Many of the arti
cles were found upon them, ami some of the ne
gro fellows, upon examination, had actuollv on
the shirts of tneir master, with tho initials of his

which stated that aggressions had been commit#
ted, at Madawaska, by a party of armed men be
longing to this Sfate, who acted under tho direc
tions of tho State authority. Subsequent ac
counts, however,* do not state that the'men were
armed. Whatever difficulties, have taken place,
they originated from the law, passed last winter, • 1
incorporating the Madawaska Settlement into a
towu, and occurred at tho timo when tho people -
assembled to elect town officers.
It is well known that the decision, which was
made by tho Umpire to whom the Boundaryques-
tion was submitted, wn9 communicated last Win- "
ter, by the President, to our Governor, and that
at tho same timo tho President requested that'
Maino would adopt no measures relative to tlie •
disputed territory. But notwithstanding the Pre
sident solicited that matters aud things should re
main as they were, the Legislature, almost im
mediately, thereafter, incorporated a part of the
disputed territory into a town!
