A Rockingham (N'. C.) oorve*pondent of
the Fayfcttville Observer five's the following
scene at the execution of a mah nam*
ed Robert Ilildreth, at that place, on the
2d instant:
"The axe glitter?, the trap door falls,
and Ilildreth swings by the nock For
half a minute ho remains motionless*. Is
he dead? Can his own weight, without
falllnsr one fneb. bnvrt i.s- *>
No! Poor fellow, he expected one pang, i
nnd that bis lust. But the futnlitv which
often leads sheriffs to gross negligence in !
executing the law, must cost him now a
world of woe. With .1 convul ive effort, j
he rcaohes the platform, and stands again
on earth alive. The cup has fallen from
his face. The blood was already fast
rushing upwards. But his large nnd muscular
neck prevented the rope from tight- i
ening. Even then his m.*ek.iess did not
leave him. He spoke, withouteoniplaint,
in a clear voice, that wnn lm.iwi >??">

rope ! it won't choke mc to death Y
"The sheriffdid go to him. First. w?lh
an nxe, then with a piece of po inding, be
endeavored to knock nwav the board?.
At last, bo pushed llildreth's foot from
t)ic scaffold, nnd hung him inefficiently &
rerond time- 'Flic poor fellow made no
further effort to recover himself. Finding
that he was hung in a way which produced
the most excruciating, because cjrndu'il

irnn, compelled by the panp. which
momentarily grew greater, drew up his
lrfjs as high as possible, then with nil his
force, threw them down to tighten the
cord. Three several times, at intervals of
* minute, he did the same again. Then
his struggles censed?his own executors,
he becomes unconscious of pain.
"The scene .it Rockingham, or something
equally shocking, disgusting, and
abominable, is of frequent occurence. It
is witnessed, almost without exception,
wherever ennitnl minichmnnt !c infl!i>?n.l
North Carolina."
Orrimns of the House.?The New
York Tribune thinks there is considerable
doubt as to whether the Democrats will
be able to elect the .Speaker of the next
House of Representatives', but that as to
the Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms, Poorkeeper
and Postmaster, they will elect almost
btyond a doubt.

following singular affair happened at "Williamsburg,
Long Island* opposite New

of some fourteen or fifteen years of

was united to a widowor of ?
family of sevofl children. After tlic ceremony,
the happy pair retired to ihc
house of the 31*0001 to celebrate the nuptials
with ii few invited guests, when tho
father of the lady entered and demanded
his daughter. Fearing his patc nnl

he endeavored to drag her, but was prevented
by the guests. lie then proceeded
to a justice's court for an officer, nnd

Cure for Headache.?A work lms been
recently published in Paris by an eminent
physician, in which he describes ?
new remedy for the headache. He u?ed
a mixture of i:e ,md salt in the proportion
of 1 to 1-2, as a cold mixture, and
this he applies, by means of a little purse
of silk gauze, with a rim of gutta-percha,
to limited spots on the forehead or other
part of the Rcalp where rheumatic head
acneislelt. It gives instantaneous relief.
The skin is subjected to tlie process
from half a minute to one and a half
minutes, imd is rendered hard and white.
It is good in erysipelas and discuses of
the skin.

As a grain and stork farm, the Oconee
possesses many peculiar advantages ; its
fields producing abuntant crops of Corn,
Whent, Rye, Oats, and Potatoes, while
the hills for miles around are covered
during 9 months of the year wish coats

It will bcrour ?im to conduct this pub- ^
liention in a manner acceptable botli to f
the farmer and planter, and to ivnder it n
Yahiable to th? tillers of the soil through- *
out the South. The paper o\res its ^
origin to the sugtjastion of the Pontile- P

lion of its kind in Mn? A't.ii*. /
, VMWIU^Iflg
gentlemen welt kno^n as successful pluntefs,
nnd distinguished for inventions and '
mprovomonts they have made in imple- ^
ments of husbandry. We shall ha e j
important aid from this source, and '
promise to mal<e our paper a vehicle to ^
disseminate the results of the experience v
of members of this Association.
We have secured, ns contributors, ^
from every quarter of this and the ^
neighboring Slates, planters of skill in
the "art and mystery" of farming; and
cuiigruiuiaie ourselves that thus we may
I become an exchange medium of the different
modes of husbandry practised in
different parts ?f the country, nnd shall ,
be enabled to place before the agrlcultu- ?
ral community the opinions nnd theories t
of the mast scientific men of the South.
We shitll acquaint our readers with the
results of an extensive train of experiments
conducted undgr ortr own superintendence,
and shall give agricultural
chemistry a prominent place in our col- ,
umns, so as to enable those who wish it t
to determine qualities of soil, and their
fitness for any particular crop.
Wc shall endeavor to bring within the j
scope of our attention every subject of (
interest to the husband man?things small
as well as great?and ro make our paper
profitable alike to the Urge plantei and .
the small farmer.
We shall make our pages interesting
to the mechanic, from the attention
I given 10 me construction of farming
utensils.
We aspire to place the Farmer and 1
Planter among the most desirable ngri
cultural publications of tho day; and to j
this ond we pledge all our energies. (
If the South would keep pace with j
the advancement in agricultural science j
and enjoy her full shnre of prosperity,
information upon the subject of husband- s
ry must be more widely diffused.? (
Strange as it would seem, while there
nre scores of political papers in this i
S3 * - - ?
wMiw-, niuiu is nui n smgie journal devoted
to that industrial pursuit by which [
man and beast must live, if live nt all.
From these considerations, and at the
earnest solicitation of the Pendleton
Farmer's Society, under wh e auspices
we may be regarded, w e arc iiiced to
take upon ourselves the conduct of the {
Farmer and Planter; and, from the en- ^
couragement already received, we arc
santruine of rendering it a popular paper, f
Wo ask for an aciive co-operation of t
all who are favorable to the enterprise in (
procuring subscribers, and fowarding to t
I us their names as early as posfible. v
