it hissing; yet, in all other respects
be was perfectly rational. M. Maury,
aware that no reasoning would^ avail,
affected to agree with him. The pa
tient himself expressed his conviction
that nothing but an operation could
save him. It-was performed in the
following manner:—In order to render
the illusion more complete, a large
place was made in the integuments
Of the abdomen, the base of which was
traversed with a bistoury, a live ad
der introduced into the wound in the
form a seton, so as to be under
the skin. One of the wounds being
covered with the hand, the patient
Was requested to assist by seizing the
bead of the “serpent,” and unite his
efforts to those of the operator in ex
tracting it. No idea can be' formed
Of the joy of the patient, without hav
ing witnessed it.—Next day he de
clared that he was prodigiously
(shrunk, in consequence of the extrac
tion of the horrid creature, all the
torments which he had suffered lor
five years were removed; the cure
Was complete in a few days, and what
is more remarkable, it has continued
f iermanent. One circumstance a-
one for a moment rendered it doubt
ful; the pattent was afraid that the
serpent might have left some eggs,
but his confidence was completely re
stored on being assured that it was a
male.
Encke Comet.—This eccentric
outlaw among the constallatious can
not boast of having eluded the critical
eyes of our astronomers. Robert
Treat Paine, Esq. of this city, fol
lowed him during the Autumn and
Winter and did not permit him to
hide himself under the hell of Andro-
'meda. But the Honorable Walter
Folg.er is not content with any thing
short of binding him for a thousand
years and bidding him go and come
like a south sea whaler. The Nan
tucket Inquirer says that this latter
gentleman, who is extensively known
as a man of deep research in astrono
mical science, has recently construct
ed a set of tables for determining the
place of the Encke Comet, at any
period within the compass of a thou
sand years.

Power of Conscience.—The follow
ing letter was received through the
Post-Office by a respectable citizen
©^Baltimore a few days since. A
five dollar note was enclosed, and the
gentleman lias not the slightest recol-
Jection of ever being defrauded of any
dinalt sum. ,
“The writer of this once defraud
ed you out of a small sum ol money.
With a deep remorse lie now returns
it to you with interest. The stings ol
a guilty conscience, who can bear!”
Baltimore Gazette.
American Bible Society.—From the
treasurer s report it appears that the
receipts of the society, duiing the
last year, were $143.1S4 33, and the
expenditures $147,081 68, presenting
an increase over the receipts ol the
^ previous year of more than $67,000.
The obligations of the society at the
present time, for loans, and paper
purchased on credit, is $36,138 06.—
The increase of the society’s publica
tions is in nearly the same proportion,
the whole number of books, either
printed or procured, amounting to
302,492, viz:—Bibles 91,276; Tes
taments, including the gospels, 109,-
*763; being an excess over the issues
, ©f the twelfth vear of 65,526. The
agg!; e gate number of copies issued
since the organization of the society,
I is 846,397. Of the 201,039 copies
issued the last year, 8,140 were gra-
) tuitously distributed. For the last
few mouths the society has printed at
the rate of 300,000 per annum. The
present number of auxiliary societies
•is 645, being an increase since the
last anniversary of 47.
PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION.
The last Richmond Visitor and
Telegraph says,
W T o learn that the good citizens a-
bout Petersburg, or rather that the
racing gentlemen and racing ladies of
the vicinity of Petersburg, were last
week entertained with the truly re
fined and intellectual treat of a
“Boxing match!” This was a sup-
plerneut or after-piece to the “ra
ces.” It was done, it seems, in gen
uine Roman style. The combatants,
we learn, were aJew and a Gentile.
It originated in no pique or grudge
between them; but was suggested by
some gentleman of taste.—The pu-
gillists were selected—they volun
teered to gratify the taste which had
conferred the honour upon them. The
lime and place were fixed, the pre
liminaries arranged, and men were
found, to bet upon the combatants to
the amount of some hundreds. The
boxcrsaveie stripped to the waist,'
had their surgeons, seconds and
*“Aliplce,” or bottle holders, &c. cx
more Romano. Thus prepared, at it
they went, surrounded by a multi
tudinous &. eager rabble, rapt into de
lightful astonishment at the sight.
The blows are leveled—the blood
streams from their mouths and nos
trils—their faces are torn and man
gled—their features distorted by the
inflicted pain, into those of the very
agonies of death: when they fall, they
are timed, sponged and resuscitated
by stimulents and cordials. The
blows are renewed, and every repe
tition draws forth from the boxers
fresh currents and deeper groans, and
from the gaping rabble a deafening
shout of approbation. And this 1? a
spectacle, which, in the heart of this
community, vve are told, was witness
ed by “a large crowd of spectators!”
SUMMARY.
The most frugal system of house
keeping on record is that of Roger
Crabb, the Buckinghamshire Hermit,
who contrived to live upon three far
things a week.
J. T. Bouldin has been elected
to Congress, from the district in Vir
ginia lately represented by Mr. Ran
dolph.
The following remarkable occur
rence has taken place in Walton coun
ty, Georgia:—borne years ago the
Father and Son married Sisters; the
Father and son died, and the same
Sisters have again married Father and
Son.
Forty nine kegs of dollars, averag
ing about 1500 dollars each, arrived
at Albany from New York in the
Victory, oti its way to Canada. Of
course the sum must be about $73,
500.
The smallest known volcano on the
face of the globe, in a siale of activi
ty, is tlie little island of Coosima, in
the Pacific ocean. Its pointed sum
mit which continually emits smoke,
is only 150 feet above the level of the
sea. It is naked, barren, and of a
biueisli colour. Not a single plant,
not even the blade ol grass, is to be
seen oil this volcanic rock.
Manhop, a Chinese merchant, lias
failed for $1,700,000. The Gover
nor of Canton has given him seven
years to settle his affairs. Chanki-
iiur, a rebel of some importance, al
ter being examined in person, by the
Emperor, was sentenced to be "toiu
to inches in the market place.”
Some ladies of Hulchin, in Eng
land, presented a petition to the king
against the Catholics, which they ad
dressed to the 'jirslgentleman as well
as the first monarch in Europe.”
The bait did not take. Forty years
ago, George the 4lh would have re
quested that the address be presented
m person.
Typographical.—A western paper
says ‘-anese [note] attached to a com
munication in our last, was accident
ally cut off' by our compositor.”
Quite an accident.
Reasons as plenty as Blackberics.—
The Montgomery Alaba ma Journal,
offers tha following apology for issu
ing the papftr on a sheet • -curtailed
of its fair proportion.”—“We pub
lish but a half a sheet this week.
We do it, because vve have no paper;
we have no paper because we liave
no money; we have no money, because
those who are indebted to us do not
pay us, because the Lord only knows
why*”
The Grand Jury at Washington
have found a true Bill against Or.
Tobias Watkins.
The father of Mr. Peel, of the
British Cabinet, one of the richest
men in England under the degree of a
Peer, is, it is said, exceedingly dis
pleased at his son’s change of opinion
on the Catholic question. He has
hitherto been exceedingly proud of
the political elevation of his son and
of his political course, and had set
tled upon him ten thousand pounds a
year. Now he talks of disinheriting
him.
General La Fayette has requested
the Select men of Charlestown,
Massachusetts, to send him a hogs
head of earth, from the battle ground
on B.inker Hill, which is to be placed
over ln» body after his decease, and it
is now ready to be shiped, accompa
nied by a certificate of tlio oldest
soldiers in that town.
Last year there were 108 licenses
for allowing the sale of ardent spirits,
issued in Rochester, N. Y. This
year they are reduced to 80.
The Farmers, and Mechanics, Bank
in Pawtucket was broken open on the
night of Thursday week. The rob
bers succeeded in obtaining cash to
the amount of—$1 32.
At the last circr.it court in New
burgh, N. Y. John Thevv, an infirm
man about 60 years of age, was fined
$75 for a breach of promise of mar
riage to a widow with six children.
These breaches are becoming as
“plenty as bluckberie9.”
The tobacco crop of Ireland last
vear, is said to have amounted to
$500,000. It is cultivated against
lalv, and in opposition to the wishes of
the potato.
A remark having been made in the
Pensacola Gazette, that the land
granted to Gen. Lafayette was with
held to the injury of the town of
Tallahassee, the editor of the Nation
al Gazette has taken occasion to state
that, in a conversation last summer
with a friend Gen. Lafayette stated
that he had authorized a friend to
dispose of one half of his grant in
Florida, lest so much vacant ground
should injure the value of adjacent prop
erty, and not from the want or desire of
money.

The Executive Committee of the JimtH-
n 1 'emjierante Society, denning it urp
p ritant tiiai a publ,cat-oil should lie com
rrieuccd under the pationagc: of the Societ v,
and lor (lie promotion of its particular oh-
jects, issue the following Prospectus of ^
w;eekly Pa,jei, entitled,
THE J O VRNJl L OF U UMJ1NI1' Y,
nd Herald of the Jhner. Temperance Soc
The Jouiis -,l op Humamtv is intended
to Le a vehicle ol intelligence respecting all
the Tem|ieiance Societies in our counlr}'.
It will ia^ bcfoie the public the plann, and
me.thods of opei at ion, adopted by the pa*
rent Secir ty, and by others. It will con*
tain communications adapted to general u~
tiiity, on the subject of temperance, and
Reviews of well written hook-; and patnph*
lets relative t« the same subject. It will
also pay particular attention io the subject
oipauperism and ol prison discipline. In
short, this Journal-w ill made the pulibc ac
quainted with all facts suitable for | u^i.ea*
tion, and adapted to promote'the success of
the cause of humanity.
Tins Paper will not only oppose intern*
pcrance in the use of spirituous liquors, and
in ail its other forms, but will aim to sup
press ail kindred vices. As its title im
ports, its object will be to advance the
cause ot humanity, :n the largest sense; to
alleviate the sulierings and woes of man,
ami to promote his domestic, social, and
civil welfare.
R is proper to say explicitly, that neith
er religious nor political controversy i; any
part ol the object of tins Paper. What
ever rel.gious piinciples are introduced j
will be such as ate directly adapted to pro
mote Christian -Morals, and such a* vs. 11
meet the approbation ol'ali w ho fear God,
anil reverence the sicred Scr ptureo.
'1 his Journal will contain summary ac*
counts cl interesting events in the moral,
leligious, and political world; and will
notice whatever reialesto improvements in.
uselul arts, especially in the education of
'children and ^cutii.
Finally, it is the intention of the e$eeu*'
live committee that the Journal of Huthan-
by shad be enriched by the most import*'
am lntunnation which can be derwed lionr
loiCign Journals of various kinds, and iri!
the ui tie re nt languages of Europe,-—that in*
formation especially which relates to the
cause ol benevolence, humanity, letters,
anu civil society. Ami with special rev
ference to this deparvment, fi is the inten*
tion oi the Committee to add another Edi
tor, as soon as the prospects of the Journal
will just.ly the measure.—It is hoped that;
in lias way, the Journal will ultimately
secure a patronage widely extended, an<i
exienoeo among tlie reading and inlelli*
gent classes oi lhe community.
1 he publication is not in any degree a
matter ol personal interest or gain. The
avails ol .i will be applied faithfully and
exclusively to promote rhe benevolent oW
ject of the Am. 'temperance Society, ac
set foith ui .is constitution.
It wouid be a subject of sincere regret
w ith tlio->; who a'ie concerned in this pub
lication, il it should' interfere with the cir
culation ol any of the useful and excellent
papers, already devoted to the cause of
temperance and humanity. 15ut a regard"
to the judgment and w ishes m wise and
good men in dillerent portions of out
country, and to tiie paianK.utH ,mportanc<f.
ol ihe object oi the bocie,iy, lias prevailed
over an personal considerations.
The ComniiUte indulge the hope that
the designs and arrangements mentioned
above, will meet the a; probation < i 'lie
coiumunitv, anu will be carried into spee
dy execution, li lids country is to be
savcu from ruin, n .r high time for those
who love its precious intciests, to awake

T HE Chat actor of this paper, it is pro*
gumed is so well knt.vvn, that nothing
need be said on that point. It was corn*
tneneeil with a very limited subscription in
January, 1327, and its patronage has ever 1
since been confined almost exclusively to the'
Presbyterian and Congregational Churches
oflhisdndthe adjoniing Slates. A gradiw
al increase of subscribers, together with
numerous and unexpected assurances that
our labors liave been favorably regarded by
those whose good opinion it is an honor td
possess, induces the hope that a subscription
paper in the. hands of its friends may piove
an edicient means of extending its circula
lion. If every individual, who fakes 4,
pleasure in perusing the Observer, would
use but a slight effort to gain additional sub
scribd's, we are persuaded that our suW
scriptmn list would soon be doubled.
The Editor, grateful for past encouraged
ment, intends liereafler devoting his whole
.time to the paper, and Will use every possi«J
hie effort to render it still more interesting
and useful:—and for any assistance which
may be afforded him in the prosecution of
his laborious and responsible duties, he will
ever feel unfeignodly thankful.
The annual price of the OnsEnvitit to
city subscribers, is $8 50, in advance, of
34 if payment is delayed to the end of the
year—to country subscribers irSin advance*
or f-3 50 at the end of the year. Any per*
son who shall obtain five new subscribers
on these terms, and become respo$
sible for them, shall be entitled to e. copy
without charge.
