Sad Calamity. —Last Tuesday morning, a
daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Renney, aged four
years, at Amherst Factory Village, was literally
burnt to death. The mother rose early in the
morning, and, having kindled her fire In the
stove, left her child and went out to milk. Our
informant tells us that he heard intense screams
in the street, and going to his door, saw a child,
black as cinder, with every particle of clothing
burnt off, except the shoulder-straps of her
gown ! She subsequently stated that her apron
caught fire, and she attempted to take it off, but
couidTiot succeed, and afer her woollen clothes
were destroyed, she contrived to open the door
and ran into the street. Her body was, strictly
speaking, burnt to a crisp on every part, pre
senting a most hideous spectacle of suffering
and excruciating agony, while her screams, un
til sensibility became blunted from intensity of
the pain, were utterly heart-rending. The lit’-
tic sufferer survived about four hours, and just
before her death related the cirfcumstances. Her
mother had cautioned her against tile fire, add
she remembered it, but a coal snapped upon her
apron, which was in a blaze almost before she
knew it. —North :twpi on, Miss., Courier.
Hope. —ln the vicissitudes and changes inci
dent to human life, in the numerous disappoint
ments, sorrows, and afflictions, which, in the al
lotments of Providence we are destined toon
dure, in the sudden and untimely loss of our
nearest and dearest friends, when the husband,
at the moment the sun of happiness begins to
•bine upon him in all its lustre, is deprived of
his only joy ; when the wife is early doomed to
roam in this wide world alone, unpitied an un
known, what can cheer the mind, raise the droop,
iag sou', calm the agitated bosom, and throw a
cheering light on the future—it is Hope ! Sweet
Hope ! thou heaven descended maid ! visit thou
the abode of misery, wipe the tear from sor
row’s eye; chase away the anguish of despair;
sweeten the cup of affliction with thine all sooth
ing dregs!
When giddy youth shall leave the paths of
virtue and honor, to wander on the barren, yet
alluring fields of v ee, when the fond parent be
holds the impending ruin of his darling offs uing,
do thou remain to afford comfort and consolation;
Jet thy healing influence take possession of his
heart, and yield relief.
When fickle fortune desertsthe good, to leave
the tender ones without a home or a friend, do
thou put them un lerneath thine all supporting
arm, and say to them, “I will never desert thee.”
And when mortality shall fail, and the lamp
of life but faintly glimmer in this feeble frame,
do thou unveil thyself and bid mo wing my way
to worlds beyond the sftm, to live and reign in ne
ver ending bliss.
Simon Foster had a f »ot of extraordinary di
mensions. It was long and broad, and covered
as much space as an ordinary snow shoe. In
truth it was a most ungraceful, huge, and mis
shapen appendage to a rather good-looking leg.
Lewis Holkins one day was ridiculing its ap
pearance until Simon's patience was nearly ex
hausted. “ My foot is lather large, 1 confess,
Sir,” said ho, “but it is the better calculated to
administer the chastisement due to imperti
nence.”
“ That may be true,” exclaimed the wit, “but
it wobld prove a perilous undertaking, for if yoh
should miss you mark, your leg would fly off."
It is a current story, that a doctor, having
purchased his diploma, in the course of riding
through Aberdeen, desired his man John, when
waiting at dinner, not to forget his new dignity,
whenever he addressed him. “ Noa maister,”
replied John, “ if so be as how 4bu don’t forget
mine ;” showing him at the same time his doc
tor’s degree, which he had purchased in imita
tion of his master.
A Frenchman, shipping at a tavern, asked for

the landlord. “ Tis not any person 1 want sare ;

“ Well,” answered the landlord, ‘-that is flip.”

During «hc time of the persecution of the
protestantsin France, the English ambassador
demanded of Louis XIV. the release of those
who had been condemned to the gallies on ac
count of religion. “ What would the King of
England say,” answered Louis, “ if I were io
desire him to set free the prisoners in Newgate ?”
“Sir,” replied the ambassador, “his Majesty
would undoubtedly comply if you claimed them
as your brothers!”

EFFECTS OF KISSING A YOUNG L ADY.
Our legislature have had quite an animated
debate upon the legal consequences of a mar
ried man kissing an unmarried lady. As the
ume question appears to bar* engaged a
co-ordinate branch of our government—the
Supreme judicial fribunal of Ohio; —and as
there are a great many married men and un-
L * married women within the limits of this State,
r we deem it advisable to notice this case with
i - some particularity, especially os it must be borne
*• in mind that ignorentia legis nem'niem excusat.
n ft appears,that in 1822, Jen miah Moore, mar
s ried Miss Polly Prough. In 1825 tl’ey began to
f grow tired of each otherand their chain gradual
ly losing its silken lustre, the husband soon af
e terwards, very ungallantly, solicited the Su
s preme to grant jiim a divorce from his
e said wife Polly. From the legislative debate, to
- which we are referring we learn, that the ap
plication wasrefused on the following ground :
f While the parties were living together ih a
f state of amicable indifference, they attended a
party at a neighbor’s bouse, which had assem
i bled to boil apple butter. In the .course of the
evening “Mr. Moore laid his sleeve around the
: shoulders of a young woman, while setting at
the fire side in company with others, and draw.
- ing her up in his arms, gave her n kiss.” —This
* fact being made known to the Supremo Court,
they refused to loosen Mr. Moore’s matrimonial
• chains. From this it is to be inferred, tliat there
i is in Ohio, neither statute nor common law, au
thorizing married men to kiss unmarried women.
Mr. Moore, not satisfied with this decision of
the Supreme Court, has made his appeal to the
legislature, and at our last dates the question was
pending be ore that body. The speakers were
discussing the ethics of kissing, and censuring
the Supreme Court for their decision. As the
matter is one of vast importance, and as it affords
a fine field for fine speeches, it is altogeth un
certain when our august legislators will return
to the body of their constituents.
- 4 Ti’urh nf the young Attorney
in one of the interior counties in AUharna had
volunteered his services in behalf of a man accu
sed of a murder. He arose and addressed the
jury as follows : It is needless to say it produced
a great effect.
“ Gentlemen of the Jury. —ln this town I have
passed some ofthe happiest daysof my existence,
it is the scene of my childhood—l have pursued
, the rural wa,iks and silvan scenes of this delight
ful place : I have watched the sylph like form
of beauty as she glided through the mazy dance.
All my earliest recollections and fondest hopes
are clustered here. In throwingmy evsaround
this delightful apartment I behold many ofthe
earliest friends of my lather —his dearest, fond
est associates. Oh ! how my throbbing bosom
beats with gratitude to the Great Dispenser of
all good, that he has enabled me to return once
more to this delighful village— Ho end my days ;
amid Fs enchanting pleasures,”
He proceeded thus far—and stopped for want
of breath—stood a few moments, viewing the
audience—as if conscious of a mighty effort and
again commenced with these words.
“ Gentlemen of the jury—it is a pretty tough
case : I don’t exactly know what to think of it:
you must use your own judgment about it.”
From the Pittsburgh Statesman.
CONFESSION OF A THIEF.
The Mayor of this city has lately received
from Jacob Hays, high constable of the city of
New. York, a communication, in which he says
that “ William Whiteman has stated that he went
to Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, about the first
of December last, and remai i<?d there till about
a week before Christmas. During the time he
was there, he entered a large dwelling hous"
through a window from the hack piaza, and took
abon’ seventy dollars in Pittsburgh notes, most
ly five dollar bills, about 820 in silver, mostly in
half dollars; and silver plate, principally spoons,
and one cream pitcher, which property he took
to his boarding house, viz : Alderman Carr’s.
He went over into Alleghany town, and there,
in the night entered a house f.om a front piaza,
through a door, went into a room up stairs
w here several persons were asleep, and took a I
silver patent lever watch from off a bureau, and
then went down he4mv: broke open a small
trunk, and took out a -SUM) bill of the U. S.
P»ank, payable at Pittsburg—also took out of
the same house silver spoons, teapo's, cream. 1
pot£, sugar dishes, pitchers, &c.. as ho coul i
carry—Bßoo or S9OO worth—and took them s o
his lodgings, and put them all in his trunk. He
then staited from th; re t'tnd wen' to Wive'
ing, but gaveott that he was going *o Was 1 in r
ton ; remained at Wheeling one night, and took
the s’age to Baltimore, and never stopped til! ho
reached that place with the money'and property.
At Pittsburgh he went by the nr.me of Wm.
Kean. At Baltimore he put up at Bamuni’s
Ho’e', and a forwards went to a Jeweller’s shop
kept in Market Race, by a n an and his son, for
eigners ; where he attempted to mel: some of the
spoons and part of the plate. Not succeeding
in the attempt he called in the man of the shop,
who said he would melt it for.him—He supposed
he had about 8400 worth. When he first en er
ed the shop he stated that he wanted to try somp
chemical process. He then took his trunk with
the remainder of the sdver, and went to a pawn
broker’s shop. There he pawned the patent
lever watch for 820, also a barge pitcher and
Other plate, for Sso—Ho wont with the remaind
er of the plaf»* to another brokers, who refused
to purchase them without reference to his cha
muter, which he promised ; but not knowing any
one he never wont back as or the silver. When
he returned to the shopon Market Race, where
the silver war mol ed, the man said that the
officers were after him, and in cons qucnce he
left him with all the melted silv’e* and did not
return after i . Whore the watch an 1 silver were
pawned, he went by the name of White, and re
ceived a ticket which he destroyed.”— States,

Power of Beauty. —Laws were never made
for pretty tvomen. A youthful female, adorn
ed with grace and loveliness, like the Sovereigns
of Europe, can do no wrong. The Now York
Courier and Enquirer states that a fashionably
dressed female, only twenty years of age, was
lately examined by the sitting magistrates on a
charge of stealing a worked cap from the door
of a dry good store. The theft was fully pro
ved. But her beauty and ajtood of tears procu.
red her release , with an admonition that if she
was ever found repeating her offence, ffhe would
be sent to the Penitentiary.
i I Nauticaldescription of a young Lady. —“ Ont
s evening I wns walking in the Pinza, ween 1
saw a > female ahead, who appeared to be th<
, prettiest moulded little vessel that I ever cast
i my eyes on. I followed in her wake, and ex
* amined her; such a clean rim I nwver beheld
—so pent, too, in all her rigging—every thing
. so nicely s'owed under hatches. And then she
> sailed along in such a style, at one moment lift
. ing so lightly, just like a frigate, with her ‘.op
. sails on the caps, that can’t help going along.
. At another time, as she turned a corner sharp
i in the: wind—wake as straight as an anew—no
» leeway, 1 made all sail to sheer along side of
her, and when under her quarter examined her
close. Never saw such a fine swell in the
i coenter, and all so trim—no ropes towing over
hoard. Well, I said to myself, ‘ it, if her
figure-head and bows be finished off by the
same builder, she’s perfect.’ So I shot ahead,
and yawed a little—caught a peep at her thro’
her veil, and saw two black eyes —as bright as
beads, and as large as damsons. I saw quite
enough, and not wishing to frighten her, T drop
, ped astern. Shortly aftc rwards she altered her
rourse, steering for that white house.. Just as
she was abreast of it, and 1 playing about her
weather quarter, the priests came up in proces
sion, taking the host to somebo ly who was dy
ing, little frigate lowered her topgallant
sails out of respect, as other nations used to do,
and ought now whenever they pass the flag of
old England * ’ ‘ How do you mean ?’ in
quired I. “ I mean that she spread her white
handkerchief, which fluttered in her Hand as she
went along, and knelt down upon it on one knee.
1 did the same, because I was obliged to heave
to, to keep my, station,, — N. Y. Qonslrljntion.
pjgg* 5 * WHEREAS the Trustees
‘ of the Academy of Richmond County, have
given notice that they will lease the South Common on
the firs,t Tuesday in February inst. anc| whereas the said
s. Oo rrinion is of the progeny of the city of Augusta,
6 hafe not been leased for enclosure or cultivation but with
the consent of the citizens of Augusta, and by special
Legislative enactment, neither of which has been obtain
ed to authorize the enclosure or cultivation of said com
mon.
And whereas the City Council believe that the en
closure and cultivation of the said South common will
prove injnrift'is to the health of the citizens generally.
Sec. Ist. Beit therefore ordained by the City Council
of Augusta, that it shall not be lawful for any person or
persons to make any fence or enclosure by ditch or other
wise in any part of the common of Augusta, w "uth of
Watkins Street.
Sec. 3. And be it further ordained, that any person
who shall piake any enclosure or part of enclosure un
der any pretence or in any manner or form whatsoever,
shall he fined in a sum not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, for each and every day such enclosure, part of en
closure, fence or obstruction shaft remain.
Sec. 3. And be it further ordained, that each <fe every
fence, ditch, enclosure, part of enclosure or obstruction,
shall be considered a nuisance and it shall be the duty of
the city Marshall and all other officers of council, to
abate such nuisance, by removing any fence or other ob.
structions made, or found on any part of the said common
South of Watkins Street.

■ TO THE PUBLIC.
7 SxliE controversy between the City, and the Trus.
JOL tees of the Academy, having become one of some
interest to the citizens, the City Council have deemed it
advisable to give this shtfrt notice to the public, of {heir
reasons for the above Ordinance, and the necessity which
called for it.
The City Council have been advised and believed,
that when Augusta was laid out and planned by the pro
prietory government, the common was defined and up.
pended to the town, for the common benefit of the lot
holders, and citizens, as the word “ town common,” itself
seems to import.
That being thus to the public, or com
mon use of the citizens, this right has never been taken
from them by the legislature, or abandoned by them
selves. Nor has any act been passed interfering with
the right of common in the citizens, except at their own
request, or for their supposed benefit.
That the power to lease given to the trustees, was to
lease for seven years, and has long since expired, and,
being then given to promote the health of the city, at the
request of the citizens, should pot now be exercised,
when experience has shewn tha 1 ' the enclosure would
most probably be injurious to thv health o! the city, and
is therefore opposed to'he wishes of the citizens.
That the City Council, have not abandoned the rights
of the citizens by paying for a few years for their own
pr ’perty, in ignorance or neglect of the rights of the
citizens, which they failed until recently to investigate. \
That tins neglect is less extraordinary than the un
warrantable assumption of a fee simple title in the trus
tees, when in fact they never w ere appointed any thing
more than the mere agents of this state to lease.
That the trustees are themselves conscious that they
have no legal title to the common, is sufficiently man
itesred by the desperate step recently taken by them, of
causing the common to be nm out as vacant land, under
the law securing head rights.
The City Council acting only as the guardians ofthe
Tights of the citizens, expect their reasonable co-opera
tion in the maintainance of their rights.

To Parents ami Teachers.
4MONG the numerous cheap publications ot the
day, none has been offered to that numerous class
of society who most need instruction and amusement ; ;
and, with your approval and assistance, the publisher ot
“ The Youth’s Literary G\zette,” proposes to furnish
a year’s reading at the ordinary cost of two small vol
times.
It is well known; that even among the wealthy, many
parents hesitate to lay out a dollar, seventy-five, or even
fifty cents, for a volume that is exhausted in an eve
ning; while a still more numerous class are entirely de
barred by the price from purchasing useful and agreea
ble books for their children.
3 The Gazette will contain as much good, useful, and
interesting matter as would form twelve of the usual
sized volumes for children. The articles will be adapt,
ed to all ages from sto 15 years. It will thus pass trorn
hand to hand in the family circle, and the mother will
find amusement in what she is called upon to explain to
her children.
To instruct and entertain, to create a desire for in
formation, and lead youthful mind to a fondness for stu
dy, will be the object of the work- Its pages will be
devoted to—
1. Travels and Voyages.
2. Familiar Tales and Narratives.
3. Dialogues on Scientific subjects.
4. Biography and Natural History.
5. Notices of all new Works for Children.
6. Interesting Historical Anecdotes.
7 Charades, Conundrums, and Puzzles.
The assistance of most of the writers for children is
promised; each No. will contain one, two, or three
wood cuts, illustrative of different subjects; and every
exertion will be made to make the work interesting.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
fficrald of the Gobi Reg’Sois,
. A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,
To be published at Lumpkin Court House, Georgia.
J|y Alboii t’liase & Co.
THE recent organization, and the rapid settlement
and improvements now going on in that interesting
portion of the territory of Georgia, knqjvn as the Chero
kee Country, seem to require that an additional vehicle
of public intelligence should be added to ihe number al
ready located m different parts of our State. For that
. purpose is this harbinger of the forthcoming “ Heruld”
1 presented.
Its objects will be to furnish to the community in which
we reside, die usual newspaper intelligence, and to its
pitronsin other sections of the Union more remote, such
information in relation to the mineral wealth, ordinary
productions of the soil, and natural curiosities, wiih which
this section of the country eminently abounds, as wil. bp
both interesting and instructive. Its location in by far
the richest part of the Gold Region, and where nature
has signally blended the romantic with the suhiinn, will
give it advantages for the accomplishment of these ob
jects, to which but few can lay claim.
The limited space which maybe devoted to politics,
will be occupied in disseminating what we believe to be
the old Republican doctrines ofthe Jeffersonian school. In
this we shall endeavor to be liberal and temperate. —Well
written essays upon all sides of this subject, \yhen they
do-riot interfere with the.private character 01 individuals,
shall find a place in our columns; as will also those of a
literary, scientific and misc dlaneous description.
With this very brief exposition of our design, we shall
submit our work to the public. Upon their decision will
depend its long continuance, and its final success.
The first number of the “ Herald of the Gold Region,"
will be issued on or about the 19th of March next, on a
Super-royal Sheet, and will he printed wiih new type.
The price of subscription will be 83,00 per annum in
advance, or 84,00 at the end of the year. Os those who
reside outof the State, payment will in all cases be re
quired in advance.
Advertisements inserted at the customary prices.
0“ Holders of-subscription papers will please return
them, directed to Lumpkin Court House, Lumpkin Coun
ty, Georgia, previous to the time fixed upon for com
mencing the publication.

increasing patronage of the public fully demonstrates its
utility.

PROSPECTUS
FOR PUBLISHING, BY SUBSCRIPTION,
IX CHEROKEE COL XT Y,
A ice.ehly Newspaper to be entitled the
CHEROKEE HTELUGEXCER,
TO BE COXDI'CTFD BY HOW ELL COBB.
ON presenting to the people this prospectus, the Edi
tor deems it superfluous to say t ne word will) re
gard to the utility of newspapers. There are, wever,
particularly at this time, other duties that m not be
avoided so easily. In entering the political arena, we
may not conceal our sentiments ; for we conceive it our
duty, to our friends and opponents, friendly to avow
them. The State Rights’ Doctrines as contended for
by the best expounders of the Constitution are those
we avow ; we hold that eacli state has reserved to her
self, all and every right, not surrendered up and enum
erated in the Constitution of the United States ; that
they may, nay should, and have reserved for the very
purpose, those rights, that whenever occasion requires,
they may be exercised : but the states should be care
ful, in the exercise of what are called and supposed to
be reserved rights, those surrendered up are not viola,
ted : lor they are no more the rights of the states than if
they had never been exercised by them. The General
Government too, must move, within its legitimate sphere,
carefully observing w hat powers it may exercise—what
are reserved to the respective sovereignties and what
have not been granted. While here, we remark that
we are uncompromising Union men, and feel and consider
ourselves identified with ail those that now rally under
the standard of the twenty.four states, whatever minor
distinctions may, heretofore, have separated us.
As respects the parties’in Georgia, too, we have a
word to say.—We have acted with perfect satisfaction
to ourselves, with the Republican party. The spirit
of that .party will be carried into our labours ; but we
wish it understood that we have not, and cannot
now consent, to advance our party views and pros,
pects by contending against those of onr.opponents ;
we offer to our opponents the free use of our columns,
if they are properly used.
It is useless to say any thing of the intercs'ing coun
try in which the Intelligencer will be located—the
farmer is invited there by its fertile lands—the un
healthy, by its waters and air—the chymist by the
valuable treasure found in its bosom.
The earliest attention and notice will be given of all
new discoveries of gold mines or other valuable curiosi
ties
The Editor will practice Law in the counties of Che
rokee, Cass, Forsyth, Lumpkin and Floyd, pud will be
thankful for any business commuted to bis attention in
those counties.
All letters and communications to the Editor, relating
to the Ofice, or other business, must bo postpaid to en
title diets to notice: this rule will be firmly adhered to.
All comnmniuatio s intended for publication must be
accompanied by a responsible and respectable name.
Nothing of a personal character, cither in the form of
a communication or advertisement, will, in any instance,
be permitted to appear in oitr columns.
Our subscription will be tlir.ee dollars each year, when
paid in advance, or four dolin' s at the end of the year.
Advertising and Job '' ork solicited and executed
with neatness and despatch.
A synopsis ot all the sheriffs’ sales will be published
.in Augusta, Milledgeville and Macon, at the expense of
the proprietor. ; s
The paper may be expected to appear by the 20th of
February.
Our correspondents will direct their communication*
to Cherokee Court House.
