En gland, Russia. and Sweden, also came under his review. The Emperor of Russia has mam Jested a great friendship for the cause, by allow' ing the circulation ofa book, written by the Rev. Mr. Baird, in which lie treats of the sub. c ject, in his dominions. In England, many of the leading men were in favor of temnperance. In, Sweden, the king himself was the President of therTemperance Society. Some of these facts he gathered in a conversation with a distin. guished .Enropean gentleman. who had been on a viait to this country, a year or two since. Our limits will not permit us to notice many topics' embraced in the-address ofJtige O'Neal. I As usual, te telated some laughable anecdotes, and we Jil endeavor to repeat one of then. O.0i bdrders of South and North Carolina. thei %'redacouple. who were very fond of the --goodceature.".alcohol- as some call it. They resided-oii -this-iide of Drowning creek, not far fromigrocery, situated in the old North State. This store or doggery was kept by a Major somebody. The Major had completely won the hearts of the couple abovementioned, parti' cularly -the' old woman, by his skill in com pounding excellent drnks, such as toddies and so forth. Whenever the worthy pair visited him, the, old lady was not backward in following the example of her helpmate in " taking a horn." Beinga grateful old soul, the praises of the bIa jor were continually upon her lips. At last,this became a cause of anger to her husband. He frankly told her, that he did not like to hear such constant encomiums of the Major. Nev. erihefess she persisted. They were returning home one day, both seated on the saine horse, and in a high state of jollification from liquor. They ere passing through Drowning creek, and the old lady was continually repeating, "mighty good toddy Major, prime.priuie, thank you" Just as they reached the middle of the stream, all at once her voice ceased. The old man who had been scolding her, wondered at her taciturnity, but went on, supposing, that her tongue had stopped 'rom weariness. Wben hereached-home, he cried out to some of his hVoy who met hun, " boys take the old woman down from the horse. she's mad. She has not spoken a word for some time." " Daddy," ex' claimed they in astonishment! What do you mean I Mammy's not with you." The old man looked behind, and truly the old woman was -- not there. They all concluded, that in her drunkenness she had slipped off. They went back,. and at length found her where she had fallen in the mniddle of the creek, at the time her voice. had ceased to be beard by the ol- man. holi was up to the chin in water, and her head was .wagging, & her tongue continually repeat - - ing as the-water occasionally entered her mouth, 4:mighty good toddy Major, mighty good, thank you, butino-more of it at.present, ifyou please., They. took up-the poor old creature. slung her .on-a horseland carried her safely home. This anecdote shews, that - the ruling passion, the 1ovo-.orliquor.is strong even in death, or in the prospect-of it, in those- personsi-who are habitu ated to its use.- We could repeat one or. two ziue jgood it6iesAijEwe will close.

LICENSE OR NO LICENSE. AIa. Enrroa.-Our Town authorities, hough invested with ample powers to give r withhold licenses for retailing spirituous iquors, have (wisely as I conceive) re erred the subject to the consideration and lecision of the people. They have accord ngly appointed Saturday next, for all duly [ualifled voters within the corpoaio limits, o assemble and express their opinion by otingfor or against the license system. Belore giving my vote however, Idesire itformtation on the su'Jject, and ask it of ty one uninfluenced by considerations ol irufits, arising from the sale of liquors. If L can be shown, that neither public or ivate moral,;, neither public schools. nor he pupils thereof, have suffered from Iramshops, located in the neighbourhood, ir if the community do not suffer more njury, than the compensation, received ro:n the sale of licences. I will vote for he license system, or rather for bselling without license, as license seems to imply tax for damages done to the public. But I some hearthroken parent, mourning the oss, yea, worse than loss of a son, caused >y temptations too itsiduous to detect, to trong to resist, should implore me to help) o rescue his child by voting against the icense to destroy him; or if in despair, his afflicted parent is ready to compound sith the destroyer of his son, by indeini ying him for the loss sustaiued ic refusing i license, then in common with all good nen I cannot mistake my duty or course. Is it true that our Male Academy is res tectably endowed, so much so, that with noderate rates of tuition, it should com nand talented tearhers to ensure its pros )erity, but that for twenty years, no teach sr however capale, has been able for any ength'of time to succeed against the bane. ul influences of licensed dramshops 1 For, what pareut would select a school exposed o these licensed resorts of dissipation? Who would not prefer an inferior institu ion exempt from such dangers to hi: :hild's morals ? The past affords painful ecollections ; the present gloomy prospect: >f tho miorals of the rising generation. But, i'y respectable fellow citizens, I trust, will ict otn this occasion as they think mosi yonducive to the morals, the peace and :haracter of our Village, and will, hko my elf give their votes accordingly.

Our Fathers, where are They ?-It is our painful task to announce the death of John Aspinwall, Esq., for many years a highly respected inerchant of this city. Mr. Aspinwall has been an active and etBcietit member of the Board of Man agers of the Aimerica Bible Society from its organization in 1816 to the time of his death.-New York Commercial Adver tiser. A Spunky Woman.-An Amazon, in Pittsburg, a few days since, soundly thrashed her husband for daring to leave her and her little ones, and enlist for the war. Tha, fellow got what he deserved. It is rather a stretch of patriotism for a man it) go to the wars, leaving a wife and children to be supported by public charity. "Murder Will-out."-A Phila lelphia paper relates a most extraordinary exem plification of ttiis addage. It will be re tmcinbered that the body of a female was found in Camden county, N. J., with inarks-of-viniena,.uon it, which left no earthly doubts that the ddiiasod had been murdered. A merchant of Philadelphia. suspecting the remains to be those ofa female named Mary Ann Williams, for merly a resideat of Indianna, wrote to-the Governor of that State, and has recently received a letter in reply,disclosing the fol lowihg facts, which may eventually lead to the detection atd conviction ofthe mer derer: It a)pears that a murder was comni tted itn Indiana, sone three years since, and the individuals suspected of its conmiiision tried and- acquitted. In the: examination of the witnesses,- residing near the spot, it was observed thatQe..a ,1ttrWmhissalani streatTyTfeiii other r wise, signs of deep feeling; and of this, was attributed to timidity, no particular notice was taken at the time. It is sup posed that it resultetd from cognisance oif thd crime. It also appears, that a man named Willliamns, a laborer, employed by a farmer residing near the above ptlace, frequently exhibited evidences of distress of niind, and hatd casually remarked that he Dreaned that he hadt murdernil his wife. and buried hier in a gardetn. A few (days after the publication of the letter from the mnerchantt in Philidelphia, inl the pa pers of the place, this tman suddetnly dis fappearedl and has not since beeni heard from, From this chain of circumstantial evidence, Gov. WVhitcomb writes that there can be no reasotnable doubt, that Williams, comin nted, or was cotnnected with, the originnl murder in Itndiatna, and having left the state, after warrde murdered his wife to prevent a disclosuire of his par ticipatiotn in the crime. Measures have heco taketn for the p~ursuit atnd arrest of WVilliams, and, ifeotivictions result, we can: say, that there is nt a imore extratordinary ill ustration in the annals of critme, of the certainty ofjnstice.
