AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.
The following extract is from the Speech of Pre
sident Washington, at the opening of Congress in j
1796. Are the men of the present day, who Rou
nder agricultural associations as useless, and un-1
Worthy the fostering hand of government, wiser i
than the Father of his Country, who was himself;
a practical farmer ?
“It will not be doubted, that with reference
either to individual or uaConai welfare, agricul
ture is of primary importance. In proportion as j
nations advance in population and other circum
stances of maturity, this truth becomes ever ap-;
parent, and renders the cultivation of the soil
more and more an object of publick patronage.
Institutions for promoting it, grew up, supported
by the publick purse: And to wjiat objects can it
be dedicated with greater propriety ? Among the
means which hive been employed to this end,
none have been attended with greater success
jfthan the establishment of boards composed of
proper characters, charged with collecting and
diffusing information, and enabled by premium
and small pecuniary aids, to encourage and assist
a spirit of discovery and improvement. This spe
cies of establishment contributes doubly to the
increase of- improvement, by drawing to a com
mon centre the results, every where of individual
skill and observation, and spreading them over
the nation. Experience, accordingly has shown,
that they are very cheap instruments o i’ immense
national benefit.”
General Intelligence.
Murder, —The Governour of this State has i
- his proclamation, offering a reward of Two
Hundred Dollars for the apprehension of Dr. Wm.
A. Walsh, charged with the murder of John
Wynne of Columbia co. Said Walsh is a native
Montreal, but emigrated to Georgia from the
slate of New York some years since. He is rep
resented as a man of superiour intelligence, about
25 years old, 5 feet 8 inches in height, of
fair complexion, with deep seated blue eyes.
(Krin addition to the above reward, we ob
serve by the last Augusta papers, that the citizens
of Columbia have offered One Thousand dollars’
for the apprehension and delivery of Walsh to the
• Sheriff of the county.
Execution. —A late Jamaica paper contains the
particulars of the execution of twenty pirates,
principally Spaniards, who were captured some
months since by an English cruiser. They suffer
ed the dreadful penalty of their crimes at Gal
lows Point near Port Royal, whitfiei they were
Conducted by a military guard and detachment
of marines from the men of war in the harbour. —
The scene, as may well be supposed, was truly
awful ; and the utmost solemnity w<fl manifested
by thd soldiery and spectators. The wretched
culprits were treated with all the humanity which
could be exercised, consistently with the precau
tions necessary on the occasion. The prisoner
were attended by several Catholick priests, and
some of them evinced feelings ofthe deepest pen
itence. Ten of the number executed were guil
ty of piracy only, and as they had restrained their
bands from murder, they confidently relied on a
pardon, believing that they might commit any
other crime with impunity. The ignorance of
most of these men was truly deplorable ; hut
their captain discovered talents and information
of no common order, which he had prostituted to
purposes the most atrocious.

The French government has prohibited the in
troduction of English newspapers into France,
under a penalty of 5001. for each paper ! The
language ofthe British parliament with respect to
the Spaoish war is doubtless the cause of this ex
elusion ; but as all the power and energies of Bo
naparte were ineffectually exerted to prohibit the
smuggling of English manufactures, it is hardly
probable that English newspapers can be entire
!y excluded in the present state of publick feel
ing in France.

Remarkable Effectt of Lightning. —Mr. James

IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN.
Boston, June 26.
By the arrival at this port, yesterday, of the
brig Canton, Capt. Tunison, in 30 days from St.
Andero, (Spain,) we are furnished with the fol
lowing important intelligence fromtbe French
and Spanish armies, capt. T.
from his private journal. We do not learn that
any Spanish papers have been received by the
Canton.
On the 20th. intelligence was received by post,
confirmatory of a previous report of the defeat of
the French army near Catalonia, by the Spanish
forces under General Mina. The battle was
fought within a few leagues of Catalonia. The
two armies were said to consist of 20,000 men
each. The loss of the French is stated at 5,000
men, and that the Spanish at 3,500. Captain F.
further states that he saw a copy ofthe (Spanish)
official account of the battle, which represented
the French to have been completely defeated.
[No mention is made of the name of the com
mander of the French army engaged in the battle
with Mina, but our last advices left the latter in
the rear of Gen. Moncby, between his army and
the frontier.]
On the 20th 300 Royalists under General Lou
ga were all taken prisoners bv a party from St.
Antonio, which also captured a detachment of
the French troops, shout 200 in number, together
with from 400 to 500 mules, laden with ammuni
tion and stores of variou- kinds, with about $lO,-
000 in mouey, all intended for the French army;
which was supposed to be besieging St. Antonio.
On the 21th it was reported at St. Andero that
the constitutional troops were within two leagues
.of that place, and, in consequence, all those op
posed to the canstitution immediately left and
crossed to the opposite shore.
At the time the C. sailed the greatest enthusi
asm prevailed at St. Andero and its neighbour
hood, and teven the females volunteered their ser
vices in the constitutional cause, in defence of
their country.
Brazil . —This late Portuguese province has re
cently declared itself independent of the mother
country, and been created into an Empire under
the sway of the Infante Don Pedro, oldest son
and heir apparent of the Portuguese crown.
Some of the strong places amongst the seaports
still hold out for the maternal government; and
our last accounts stale, that an expedition, under
the command of Lord Cochrane, now in the ser
vice of this imperial government, had sailed from
Rio Janeiro for the purpose of blockading the
port of St. Salvador de Bahia. As yet no consti
tutional government has Leen established in this
province, although a Congress has been called and
some fundamental laws enacted, but the Empe
rour exercises the authority of dispensing with the
laws whenever they are repugnant to his views
and inclinations ; and indeed the actual govern
ment is represented as being absolutely despotick.
The United Slates have not as yet named any di
(domatick agent to this new government, or
treated with it as an independent sovereignty.
Millf.dgeville, .Inly 8.
A gentleman of unquestionable vera “y writes
to us from Pulaski county, that a few Indians
having encamped, two or three weeks 4go, in a
neizhbouring county for the purpose of supplying
themselves with venison, a parcel of white men
..vent to their camp', (the Indians being absent r.
a huntin? excursion) and -took their blankets,
clothe*, saddles, bridle-, provision and skins, and
made a bonfire of the whole! The inoians wer.
entirely peaceable, had done no mi-chief, and
were furnished with recommendation* from Mc-
Intosh and Barnett, soliciting for them friendly
treatment: But it was the misfortune of these
children ofthe forest to meet with savages worse
than Indians. Our correspondent is apprehensive
that some innocent person will suffer for this abo
minable act,so contrary, to hospitality justice and
humanity, and appropriately remarks, ••Had those
we call savages committed a similar outrage on
our unoffending citizens, who had business in, or
were passing through the Nation, what an uproar
& bustle it would make! We should htar of noth
ing hut rqvenge and restitution.”— Recorder.
Curious Flies —Mobile has been visited with
unusual swarms of flies, which almost filled the
air and covered the houses, and sides and shrouds
of the vessels in port, so as to obscure the walls
of the former and the canvas of the latter. The
swarms floated in the air like clouds. The Mo
bile editor says, the fly, in its character and ap
pearance, comes nearer to the ephemera or day
fly, as described by Barbut, than any thing we
know of.
Gold Mine. —An extensive gold nine has re
cently beeu discovered in he Conoty of Anson,
N. C. two miles from Rocky River, and about
30 miles from Cheraw, S. C. It is stated that the
ore is pure, and sells readily in its crude state at
91 cents th§ penney weight. 12 workmen are

FROM A tATE T.OSBON PAPER.
A few days since, a poor man and his wife, who
live at a short distance from Norwich, unfortu
nately quarrelled. _,The wife, in consequence,
determined to be revenged, and look the follow
ing singular course for that purpose : Shortly af
ter the dispute, the man went into his garden to
work, and the woman, on his going out, told him
it was her determination to hang herself, which,
however, he treated with indifference. The wo
man accordingly dressed up an effigy in her own
apparel and hung it by the neck, from a halk
over the stair case. The husband, neither hear
ing nor seeing his wife for upwards of an hour,
recollected her threat and went into the house.
The fire was out, but in consequence of his wife
being near her confinement, he imagined she was
laid down, and accordingly was going up stairs
when, to his great horrour, he observed, as he
supposed, his wife hanging dead from the top of
the staircase I—He immediately, in the greatest
terror, ran out to call his neighbours, who came
provided with knives to cut her down ; the trick
was discovered, anil the poor man had the pleas
ure of observing his dear spouse laughing intoler
ably at his dismay and perplexity.
Six persons, convicted of piracy on the Spanish
coasts, have lately been sei2ed and condemned to
death. They were decapitated in the | “Mick
square of Malaga, their legs and arms severed
from their bodies and thrown into a cauldron of
boiling oil, and their heads exposed in the pub
lick places.
Thunderstorm. —The New York papers give
accounts of a severe thunder storm which occur
red in (hat city and its neighbourhood, on the 13th
ult. Considerable damage was done; the most
extensive and extraordinary of which was felt by
Mr. Spooner, of Long Island, which is thus de
scribed :
The effect of the lightning in Mr. Spooner’s
house is truly remarkable. The fluid appears to
have struck the chimney and descended to every
part of the house—furniture of all kinds shivered
to atoms, and some of the fragments driven
through the partition walls—window frames torn
from their places, leaving the sashes hanging by
the cords—bursting off part of the front, and rip
ping up part of the floors in each story, partition
walls removed, &c. A bed in which were two
children, moved four or five feet, and a panne) of
one of the doors driven out by the leg of a chair.
Even nails were thrown from their places, and
some of them lodged sideways into opposite
houses. And yet, such is the protecting hand of
Providence, that none of the family, fourteen in
number, were in the least injured- It is worthy
of remark, (hat all the family were in bed, to
which circumstance may be ascribed theit safety.
A cage was demolished, but its little tenant es
caped without injury.
The providential escape of Mr. Spooner’s fami
ly may be attributed entirely to the circumstance
of all being on feather beds. Had the shock ta
ken place early in the evening, before the family
bad retired, it would have been next to impossible
for so many persons to escape, amidst the com
plete demolition of the house. To the same cir
cumstance may be ascribed the safety of the lit
tle bird, whose feathers shielded him from the
effects of the fluid which shattered his cage.
It is asserted in the New York Gazette, that one
of the city watchmen was lying asleep on the
p!atf‘>rin of Mr. Quick’s store, next door to ogden
Day & Go’s during the thunder storm, and that
the electrick fluid made a hole through his hat
without awaking him. This proves what has
often been asserted, that some people sleep most
soundly during a thunder storm.
Remarkable. —During the few warm days-we
had in the mouth of April, a yoke of oxen, be
longing to Mr. Richard Jackson, of this town,
were feeding in the meadow—they came by a
small thorn bush, and put their noses .town, ap
parently to smell of something (litre, when a
iiuge black snake with incredible velocity, fasten
ed himself around the n4. k of one of the oxeu—the
oxen, which were yokt and together, ran and bel
lowed lerrib) —a young man who observed their
movements, hastened to see hat was the matter,
and with difficulty got near enough (o give the
snake a blow with a -tick, which caused him to
lose his hold and fall off he was completely
clenched round the ox’s neck—his tail being
wound round his own head and neck—he was
killed and found to be six feet long - there is
hardly a doubt, that if no person In and been near
to render assistance, the poor ox would have fal
len an easy prey to the reptile by being choked to
death. Goshen JY. Y. Patriot.

some strange impetus, took anew flight, and set
