THE FIFTH VOLUMlE
OF THE
Mamb'erg Journal.
OUR years have nearly elapsed si,.ce the
Journal first.nade its appearance before a
geuerous public ; and although having, met
with a'die portion of support, the Editor would
at this time, invite the attention of his. old
friends, and those who may feel a desire of sus
tuiting his efforts, and extend additional en
couragement, to lend a helping hand towards
the commuencetent afaWnew volume..
We make ad earnest appeal to our friends
in South..Carolina, as well as those in other
States, to assist us in the circulation of the
Journal.uid-clear away those wceds. that have
grwri aotind. the Ol- Palneo Tree.' Now
zi-eapeferiedIenry Clay to Martin
VanBnren, we can only expect a'desperate
effort to-be made to crush us, and consign the
Hunsuao .JOUantAL to' oblivion. Though we
fear not those who would injure our interest,
because the-more \ve are trampled on. the bet
ter we will thrive still. we wish to have the
consolation of knowing that our course meets
with response from the hearts of freemen. To
conduct a Press in South Carolina in opposition
to the established mandates of those who dic
tate, is like treading on the forbidden ground
of some eastern mosque-no christian dare pass
it, unless barefoot. Yet we have dared to make
a venture on this land, and ferret out that
which should be remoted.
And now we leave our cause in the hands of
our friends, and present our efforts to their con
sideration, to say, whether we must be disap
pointed or be su-ip-rted with liberality and
kindness.
The Journal is published once a Week, at
the very low pri.c of Two DOt.ARS per annum,
in advance, and contains at least twelve columns'
of reading matter.
Will ouir brother editors, of either party, ex
tend a friendly act. by giving the above a few
insertions? J. W. YARBOROUGH'.

+Singular Tact. in the last Report of
the Pennsylvabiaifospital for tie insane,
the-followidg,intersating fact'is'stated : A
patient, advanced in life, of athletic frame
anifextraordinary acivity and ingenuiry;
was regarded as particularly dangerode,
rom theiolenceofhis mental excitements.
He-required constant watching, and in-dds
piti of all precautions: he availed himself
of every opportutnity of concealing; idnridg
the day, artilewhich he would spend the
hightljfi fabricatiudg idto dangterods tied

ing up in his daily walks' materials which
he fornied into rough toalf'witi fbliclf fe

forded'a hint td -hit attending' physicsian
and having exacted a promise from the'
patient. that he addIld not use th'em for' the
injury.of'ang person;befaftiahedhim wiih
a-complete set ofstioemakers' tools, knives,
awls, hammers, &c., He seemed delighted
with the privilege, and-'ith the confidence
reposed in his promiso, and immediately
set to work; havitg 'tw or three of the'
patients is his assistants, and from the
strict decol-tin which he afterwards evinc
ed'ue.e e in a-single instance gave reason
to regret at the indulgence allowed him.
The regular employment' had a most
whlfolesome: inffue'ce on his mental dis
ease, and he is now in the bosom of his
family, fully restored to reas'on,'after be
ing detanged fof three yiars. This '-el'm
pie may serve to show the judgment with
which the insane are treated in this admir
able institution. - They are not regaraed as
madmen to be dieaded, but im a kind'oI
synipathizing spirit they are dealt with,
and few are so bereft of reason, as not to
be sensible' of such treatment. The pa
tients are furnished with the means of rid
'ig, amusing themselves in several ways,
have musical entertainments, a good libra
ry, and during the last year, originated
among themselves a weekly newspaper,
containing original articlesmapy of which,
says the physician, "would compare favor
bly with mqch of the periodical literature
of the day .
How must it gladden the heart of. overy
philanthropist to see these human changes
in the treatmen'i of persons lahoring under
so dreadful' a malady.! The efect of it has
been proved in the increased number of
radical cures:-.resbyteridd.
An Ameisteg Luiiatic.-They have a
crazy ma in the Ohio Lunatic Asylum
whuse eccentricities are said to produce
great mirth. In the'appendix to the report
of that institution, recently publi.hed, we
find the following description'or this than
and the strange method of his madness:
We must not omit a passing notice of
an incurable, but occgsipohally -useral, and
on many accounts an interesting patient,
styling himself "the cattle drover, sports
man and financier extraordinary to the in
stitution and' mankind at large." He also
claims to be clerk in the new buildings,
superintendent of the public works in the
State, proprietor of the steamboat L'ehigh,
mineral- and botanical doctor, &c. His
delusions are as nurserous and capricious
as his character and, qualifications are
unique and surprising. He is a stout, ac
tive, well built man, with a handsome
sincere countenance, who is sure to ie the
first to meet you in the gallery. and en
deavor to slide into your good opinion with
a sly wink, a coaxing smile, and a gentle
voice-wishing~ immediately to buy six
teen hundred head of fat cattle, four years
old, or ready to loan any am'ount of'mo
ney that can be desired which is forth~itih
produced in large padkages'of iank bills,
manufactured by himself, and :payable to
his order, at every corporatioir; in' the
Unio-n, from Florida to Maine:
He is never supplied with' a' lebsin
than a hundred and seventy-fiveilions,
upon the ".best speelb paying banks."
But if'fou do not need m-oney,1hg is very'
entertaining with a description of his1
farming and extensive pasture lands-with:
accounts of his milling and steambi'at ra
ing-blooded cattle-and mulette of his'
own invention ; or, as a physthiati..he is
always ready to' attend the mo'st difficult
ases; will exhibit his":lancet wvire, and'
prescribe infallible cures for every disease
from a sore eye to the gout or consump
tion.
.Netwithsiahiding is singularity, he is
kidand attentive to those needing assis
tance around him, taking great interest in
the affairs of the house, and'- constantly
talking about the expense of providing for
so many patients, the difficulty of keeping
them in order, 'and the necessity of em
proylhg more hielp, &.e. Hie uTo estcels in
complimentary notices ofthie ladies, and is
always ready either to dance a'jig;-or hold'
the candles sioga song or pi-each a ser
nob, and-if need bb, take a fght or run a
horse race.
A Serious Joke.-The Pittsburg Chron
ile has heard of a wedding, which' some
days-since took place at Lawrenceville,
near that city, which was intended as a
joke, but which has been declared-binding
as the parties ?were lawfully "joined to
gether," by an Alderman, who also, in
addition to his other duties,- preaches oc
casionally.
The parties-are rbspectable and .weakhy
and are evbryaway worlhy'aihd respectable

the Middletown Md: Enterprise, by a gen

A. Singular Incident.-A gentleman
from- Marlborough informs us, says the'
Hartford Times, of asingular circumstance
connected with an affray between a hawk
mnd a hen,'on Sunday last. The haik a
very large one measuring from wing, to

and raised her asliortdistance in the air,

colored woman nam'ed Clara Burden, see
ing them go into the well, ran to see how
matters progressed and -found the hawk
lying upon his backin the daier, and the
hee standing upcda him ! The. womap.
lowered the bucket and safely secured the'
hen. She then held' the head of the hawk
under water with a pole and finaly secured
him also. All hawks should learn from
this that they, cannot steal with-impunity.
The chicken-hatching niachine now be- -
ing exhibited .in the city of New York, is
thus noticed in the Tribune:
Chicken Manufactory.-Nature is get
ting superfluous. We -rather think she
will soon be voted out of fashion and-dis
pensed with. There is a chap just over
our publicaioin office hatching Chickens in
a big box, fifty a day, having a thousand
eggs always doing. The trouble of attend
ing them is slight, the heat costs very lit
tle, and the chickens crack their several
shells and walk up to their dough and wa
ter like wood choppers to dinner or sailors
to their grog... They are clean, strong and
livery, grow fast and rarely die, (not being
draggled, through the grass,) and whoever
has a htching machine can have 'Spring
Chickens' every week in the year, and at
small expense. If you could only invent
a mgchinejoi- laying eggs now, hens would
be done with.
ftints to Lovers of Flowers.-A most
beautiful and easily attained show oFever
gren's'in'winter may be had by a very
simple plan, which has been found to an
swer remarkably well on a small scale. If
'geranium branches taken from healthy
and luxurious trees just before the winter
set's'in',cut'as for slips,' and immersed in
soap and water, they will, after drooping
for a few days, shed their leaves, put forth
fresh ones, and continue in the finest vi
gouY all the winter. By placing a number
of bottles filled in flower baskets, with moss
to conceal the bottles, a show of evergreens
is easily insured for a whole seaion. They:
require no fresh water.
An old'gentleman not one iidred miles
from this place, after- a long fast had the
agreable news announced him. by. his
charming spouse Betsy, that "Dinner was
ready,"-Dikey obe' 6fthe chi!dlrer, as

A Panic in the Army.-tl panic, e'iil
to that which spread among Napoleon's
Imperial Guards at Waterloo, seized the
battalion of Fusileer Guards, stationed in
Winchester, on Sunday, the consequences
of which were, fortunately, more fudi
crous than injurious. It seems that. they
were.attending divitie service' in the lobby
of the country ball, *'their custom always
in the afternoon," and the- chaplain had.
just delivered his text-Why stand. we
in jeopardy every hour?" when a door
leading from the vaults und'er the Crown
Couttsuddenly opened with a v.iof'uce
that prostrated a tall ' serjeant standing
cear it, and a form covered with' dust, and
soot, and quite as appalling to the military
'congregation as that which "drew Priangi.
curtain in the dead of night," stood before,
