midden Death. —Died, on the evening of the
23d ult. Miss Elvira Cooper, step daughter of
William Lemon, esq. of this town. The time
and manner of this yoting lady’s decease, were
peculiarly awful and affecting. It was to have
been her wedding night; she had retired to
her room to dress, apparently in perfect
health, and in less than fifteen minutes she was
discovered to be a corpse by her sister, who
entered the room to assist her in dressing.
By this time the friends had begun to assemble
to witness the nuptial ceremony ; but alas ! how
changed the scene.—She was a woman of deli
cate frame, and it is supposed her sudden death
was occasioned by fainting in a cold room; that
her blood chilled and stagnated before any relief
could be afforded. It is probable if any person
had been in the room with her, she might have
been relieved. %
s Captain Morris, who ca me up in a shallon
last evening, reports that off North point
about 12 at night, he fell in with a sloop up
set and nearly sunk—her side being about
2 feet out of water and covered with ice.
Jler sails were floating on the water.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 20.
Indians Affairs.— The deputation of
Cherokee chiefs, that lately arrived here
for the purpose of settling the affairs of their
nation with the government of the U. States,
have suddenly taken their departure; hence
it is conjectured that they are dissatisfied
with the arrangements understood to be
preparing by the United States for their
future government. The respected and
venerable Return J. Meigs, agent for the
nation at Highwassee, through whose benev
olent and indefatigable exertions, they have
been advanced in civilization far beyond
any other on the continent, will no doubt
endeavor to establish a proper understand
ing, honorable to our government and bene
ficial to the Cherokee nation. If is well
known that they have manifested, for a long
time, a disposition and deportment perfect
ly friendly to the whites, and consequently
enjoyed a share of happiness and tranquili
ty, hitherto unknown amongst their neigh
boring tribes.
Jh)iendm*nt to the Constitution. —The
legislature of South Carolian concurred in
an amendment to the constitution of the
United States, suggested by the legislature
of Kentucky, which requires that no con
gress hereafter, shall make any law, fixing
the compensation of its members, which
shall take effect until after the election of
anew congress.
. RICHMOND, DEC. 23.
CHANGE OF WEATHER.
On Sunday, a short Snow-gust brought
usa change of weather.—The spell has been
excessively cold. Saturday and Sunday
nights were the severest nights we have
witnessed for a long time.—The effects is
visible on the basin of the Canal, which deep
as it is, is already bound with ice—much
ice is also seen on the margin and even the
middle of the James river—The change
from a mild to u severe temperature is as
tonishing.

fencer-; soon afterseduced a young woman
of her own sex—setlflie to the convent in
which the girl’s friends had confined her,

restoration of that young woman to her
friends —went to Paris, became an Opera

Blagphemif. —Amidst all the vices and
all the enormities of the Algerine Turks,
(a people distinguished for violente and ra
pacity, and almost every species ot cruelty)
some good qualities are observable. The
most abandoned wretch never presumes to
utter the name of God in vain, or add it, by
way of decoration, to his ribaldry.
When will this be said, even among men
who glory in their superior light and inform

FROM THE AUBURN GAZETTE.
Female. Dancer. —We are informed, says
the Gnondago Register of the 26th of Nov.
that on Sundav last, at about 3 o’clock in
/
the afternoon, a young woman in Dryden in
the county of Tompkins, apparently in the
enjoyment of health and her mental facul
ties, commenced dancing(whether hornpipe
or old fashioned jig, we know not) with
great life and animation, which she contin
ued with very little intermission until about
8 o’clock at night, when she was obliged to
sthp, being nearly exhausted. During her
frolic she would not answer any questions,
neither did she notice any thing which %Vas
passing about her. If made to sit down
she would fall on the floor, and when libe
rated would resume her dancing. When
she had got through with her exercise she
could talk as usual ; but knew nothing of
what she had been doing, as she says.
From the Albany Daily Advertiser.
The Albifiess. —We took an early oppor
tunity yesterday morning to visit the cele
brated Albiness, who has recently arrived
in this city from England, via Canada, and
were gratified at finding a large circle of
ladies and gentlemen already assembled at
her room. Her deportment was uncom
monly correct, without either a timidity
that would have been inconsistent with her
pursuit, or any improper forwardness that
might render her an object of disgust. Her
features cannot be called beautiful, but her
complexion is of the most transparent puri
ty, though its appearance is certainly un
natural, Her hair is of the brightest flax
color, resembling tresses of fine floating
silk, and falls over her shoulders in the
most luxuriant folds. Her eyes are of a
bright pink color. They have a tremulous
motion ot which she is herself unconsicious
and vary their hues as she changes her op
sition and receives the reflections of light.
. How the phenomenon is to be explained
we leave for oujr medical and philosophical
friends. We can only say that we regard
ed it with singular curiosity. She states
that there are six children of the family,
three of which have dark hair and eyes,
and the eyes, compaction and hair of the
other two, are like her own.

Education.
THF. commissioners of the SUNBURY ACAD
EMY, respectfully inform the public, that
the Academy will be opsned on Monday, the sth
of January ensuing, under the care and instruc
tion of Mr. Chacncet G. Lee, from Connecticut.
The school will then be established under the
expectation of permanency, and the provisions
are such, as certainly to induce the persuasion,
that any number of young ladies and gentlemen,
who may bend their course this way for instruc
tion, will find here a very advantageous resort
for literary improvement and moral and polite
cultivation. The terms of tuition are 36 dollars
per annum for scholars studying the dead lan
guages and high”- bcaunheanf tliemathematicks.
and 30 dollars for all others ; payable quarterly
in advance. Boarding may be obtained reasona
bly at the Academy, or in its vicinity.
It is to be hoped and presumed, that the citi
zens of a discerning and enlightened community,
will not permit the old institution at Sunbury,
while good academic instruction can there be
obtained, in such a healthy and'retired quarter
of our country, to wither for want erf patronage
and support: but that they will extend the fos
tering hand, and encourage its prosperity, until
they may find it more for their interest to do
otherwise. ,
Mr. Lee has brought on with him from New-
York, a general assortment of classical and school
Books and Stationary, with which any students
may be furnished on the most reasonable terms.
