William B. Sparrow was execu
ted at Hillsborough on Friday last,
for the murder of John Hunt, in Au
gust last.
The coldness of the season has
scarcely been equalled here, owing,
doubtless to the violent Hail storms,
which have within the last fortnight
taken place in different parts of the
Htate. On Monday week, the plan
tations in the vicinity of Chapel Hill
suffered from a violent storm. Fif
teen miles north-west of this place*
a violent storm heat down all the
young growth in $ moderate space
into the ground and some days after*
wards the hard stones, though small,
lay ten inches thick on the level
ground.? Below Wilmington about
the same period, during a very hea
vy storm of Hail, stones fell which
measured 1 3-4 inches long, 1 1-4
broad, and 1 inch thick.

COMMUNICATED FOR THI GAZETTE.
The attention of the public is called to a
mineral Spring lately discovered in the
townof Concord, N. Carolina. This
spring has been examined by several gen-:
tlemen ?killed in Chemistry ; they all pro
pOunce it to be a very strong Chalybeate*
The virtues of the water is thus decribed
by a skrHful Physician, viz r
The general virtues of the Concord
Chalybeate Spring are to constringe the
fibres, to quicken the circulation of the
fluids, to promote deficient secretions, and
and at the same tijne repress inordinate dis
charges into the intestinal tube. By the
use of tfiis water the pulse is very sensibly
raised ; the colour of the face, though for
rncvly ptatle changcs to a florid red.. The
alvine, urinary and cuiicular excretions
are increased. It is found highly benefi
cial in all diseases pvoceeding from ' a lax
ity and weakness of the Solids* , The cir
cumjacent co,untry% possesses every article
necessary to the convenience of persona
visiting tht Spring. Board and accommo
dations can be had in town or country on
the most reasonable terms. The situation
of Concord is remarkably healthy; and from
the <}ua)ityxOf the wat<r, and every other
Circumstance, invalid visitors may ' rely
upon speedy relief* . *

Antiquities. ? On the river Huron,
BO miles from Detroit, and about 8
miles from Lake St. Clair, are a
number of small mounds, situated
on a dry plain or bluff, near the riv
er. Sixteen baskets full of human
bones, of a remarkable size, were
discovered in the efcrth; while sink
ing a cellar on this plain for the mis
sionary. v
? Near the month of this, on the
east bank, are ancient works repre
senting a fortress, with walls of
earth thrown up, similar to those
of Indiana and Ohio.
At BeUe Fontaine , or Spring
"Wells, three miles below Detroit,
are three small mounds or tumuli,
standing in a direct line, about ,10
rods apart. One of these has been
opened : Bones, stone axes, &c.
were found in abundance. About
one fourth of a mile below these,
are still to be seen the remains of an
ancieorfortification. A breast work,
in some places three or four feet high,
encloses several acres of firm ground,
in the centre of an extensive marsh.

beauty of her model, her strength

of the Columbus , recently built at

examination, fche fully justifies the

and her upper works, wilh the ex

prove to be much better than had
been anticipated. ? Boat, Eve. Gaz .

HAVE procured from Philadelphia. a
complete apparatus for making MINER
AL WATER. ? The Soda Fount will al
ways be filled and ready for use, Sundays
excepted
Bottles filled for family use, at the short
est notice.
44 SODA WATER has been directed
by Medical men, as a remedy in a number
of common and troublesome complaints?
It is a complete remedy against sourness
of the stomach, commonly called heart
burn, and in most eases, of indigestion and
weakness of the stomach, it is very useful ;
gradually restoring the appetite, and with
it the tone of that organ-it is a preventative
of many of the diseases of the stomach and
bowels, which proceed from acidity ; and
for the same reason it often removes and
prevents the sick headache. As a pallia
tive, and even a remedy, in some cases, of
urinary calculi and gravelly complaints, it
is preferable to the Ballston waters ? it may
preveut, arrest, retard or remove com
plains, according to circumstances.
*SODA WATER is also a very re-i
freshing arid grateful drink, especially after
iheat and fatigue, and may oe made a com -
plete substitute for the beverage of which
ardent spirits forms a part."
