The November number has come to hand.
As usual we find a large amount of original
and selcctvd matter, suitable for agriculturists.
The typography does credit to its enterprising
publisher, Mr. W. D. Cooke, Raleigh,

This paper has been recently much en:rged,

Hew Papers.
Mr. J- T. IIernhman proposes to publish
a paper at Anderson, S. C., for which he has
secured the editorial services of Mr. John V.
Moore, formerly one of the editors of the
Anderson Gazette. Mr. Moore is a vigorous
writer, and will enhance the vnlae of any paper.
We wish success to the enterprise.?
Perhaps this new advocate for patronage
. will bo more courteous than the Gazette.?
^ , Paper mast bo very dear at Anderson.
Mr. Broughton proposes to publish a new
pnper st Spartanburg. There nro now two
papers there, bat the district is largo, and the
people enlightened, and no doubt pay
promptly. AH three may do well, and wo
hope they may.
1 The Rev. Mr. Whately propose* to publish
a new paper at Edgefield. Tho "New
Light," which is the title, will be n paper devoted
to religions and miscellaneous reading.
As will be seen by advertisement, Mr.

To oft!* Patrons.
On the lith'bfPt'brunry, 185a, wc issued
fhcfirst ifflmbcr of the Iaincnster "Ledger.?
Vcty "nearly four years have clrfp.std since
thcrt, and we ate now n'blc to say whether
the business has "been a "profitable one or
not. Wc arc ibrcctTto say it'hasnot. The
why and whdrefbfc, Ve wflllay before oOr .
readers, and invite their "particular attention
to what we havo to say. We ^vifl give a
pluin statement of facts, and fhesc facts rfre
intended solely for the consideration fcf our
patrons.
When wc first conceived the idea of putling
up a paper in Lancaster, our ambition
prompted us to put up one, which in size
and typography, even if deficient in editorial
matter, would do credit to the District,
and in those respects credit to ourself. We
Kntu- Ihen, rtnd we Anrftr flow, tha't there is
not a district in this State, and scarcely a
county in any other State, with so few white
inhabitants, in which there is a newspaper
containing so much as the I/edger. It is
true, you will f nd larger papers containing
more than ours, but those papers are publi
hod in more thickly settled communities;
they make much more than we do. We
sould make more money by publishing our
paper at one dollar a year i"f we had six or
eight thousand subscribers, than we do at
Iwo dollars, with six or eight hundred. But
we arc not disposed to complain -on this
icore?for the ratio of population, we have
us large a list as anyprtpcr in the State.?
We will 'Warrant this. We are disposed to
:oniplain though, of the conduct of many
*bf these subscribers. We are nbsoIntiil
flint nn liot'o <liinhia<l .frlwirn
joimieh, and yet ue nre compelledto borrow
money, week after week, to "pay our
rurrent expenses. It is not right?it is unust.
The amounts owing us aresmall, nnd
t docs seem to us, after our e(Torts, that every
ciftilrcn who had one spark of district
pride in him, would take pleasure in paying
us what is simply our due. We have published
s paper, we repeat, in proportion to
Ihe population, larger than any other papet
in tho State, and we believe in the United
States, nnd instead of being encouraged we
have every cause of regret
In another respect have wc boon treated
wrongflally, we had nigh snrdtdiameifully,?
In other districts (for wc have enqnired, nnd
we know our experience in one,) it is the
custom to pay advertisinghiris, if not before,
at least on the first day of January. There
is no evasion; no putting o$'. Here it is not
so. Those who we know can pay, possess
ample means, and who lawfully owo us the
money', evade us; and we have bills of the
first year yet unpaid. We had expected
very differently of some of these gentlemen
at leust; we thought they would liavo been
the first to pay us; we thought they would
have used every effort to promote our interest,
instead of fettering us.
Well, we are getting rather tired of such
kind of conduct, nnd if it l?
... .outran litis business ana seek
dttnie other. We are not disposed to waste
our time by pandurinir to ?<i|Mfcwsvl
prieious wen.
Those persons indebted to us for subscriptions,
nro now notified, that we will
wait on thrin until the first of January, before
we strike o(T their names. If tliey do
not settle by that time, we will erase their
names, nnd place their accounts in a Magistrate's
hand to collect.
We have sent out bills with this paper,
and have made theso subscribers a fair proposition;
if tliey do not accede to it, tlicy
must expect the consequences. All old accounts
for advertising we will sue upon, entirely
regardless as to the parties. It pains
us to wntoin this manner, but necessity forces
it upon us. Wo owe money nnd therefere
we must collect money, and we trill
collect, if it be possible.
Advertising.
It is really astonishing how slow onr people
are. They think they sav6 money by
not advertising. Business men know they
lose money. We advertise as low as most
papers, und onr paper has a large circulation,
dui iu oraer 10 see whether our friend* are
disposed to advertise, we will roduee our
rales, and make them as low as the lowsl.?
Hereafter we will count Bittern lines to the
square. The space which sixteen lines
Bourgois type will make will be considered
a square.
Now, ndvertisors come ahead! Those disposed
to advertise by the year, or for six
months, or those having very long advertisements
we will make a considerable reduction
from the above rote. We are determined
to try the people and see if they are
disposed to sustain the paper.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
An esteemed correspondent sends tls
the following which we lay before 'the
rcader;:
A man Who was raised In the'edge of
N.C. adjoining Lancaster LVis'trict df this
Slate, married last winter ti daughter of ,
J >sgeph Lewis in tho upper prtrt o'f this ,
Lancaster District.
Said man'(lt. F. Ther?elllhy nnme) and
his wife separated in August last, and
Therrell le?t tprivwtely. Sometime during
the present fall Lis Wife, who had return- ,
ed to hor parental rodf received a letter
from her husband, Postmarked Tenn.,
and we think Salesberry TVO.
Since which time nothing has been
known of Therrell, until yesterday (Sunday,)
his Mother-in law Mrs. Lewis took
a little son some twelve years old on a
hdrse behind her to ride out a few miles
to visit a daughter in N. "0. nnd when
some two miles from hoino they saw a
man tunning through the woods with a
Hifle Gun on his shoulder, this man run
out into the road just ahead of them and
proved to be her son-in-law Therrell, and
looked as though he had run a considerable
distance. He made some apology
for intercepting 'them in this manner, by
saying that he "had mistaken her for her
daughtert(his wife) and asked Mrs. Lewis
when she w as going home and ou being
answered that she should return that
afternoon, he requested )rrr to tell Iris w ifo
on her return to meet him that evening
at a specified place, that he wanted to
have a talk with bcrbeforo he went away

same night or next morning. Mrs. Lewis
being alarmed at this unexpected meeting,
tbe agitated manner of Tlierrell, and
the Uitle gun on Sunday, hastily promised
a compliance with his request, and
rode on to where her daughter lived.
Having left at home Therrell's wife Cornelia,
and her (Mrs. Lewis') o'dest son
Edmund together with a yonng man in
tho neighborhood who seemed to have
been visiting Edmund as an associate.
On old Mr. Lewis, return about 4
o'clock 1\ M. and when she Was within
sight of her house, she heard a gun fire
off apparently at the hotwe, at which ahe
quickened h?r pace Alid leaching J'nrd
she left her horse ?ud was proceeding i
hurriedly into tire hcvwso when she again
encountered Therreli, coming round the
house with the Uiflc still on his shoulder*
she asked him what that shooting meant,
but receiving 110 answer and seeing no
oqk ol?o uUout nlie rau inlAit. k-aac, and
t.?Mi?t ber son Edmund sitting by the Are
cross legged witli a book open on his lap
erect in his chair, (with no traces of nny
<l.?turbatice bavin# pnfcutlj
dead, shot through tho head with a liille
or pistol. This sight brought n scream
from lias old lady,at which her daughter,
Therrell's wife came in, she having apparently
been walking out alone at the time.
Cornelia on seeing Iter dead brother, likewise
screamed with terror, in the meantime
Therreli hearing his wife in the house
ran in, seized her violently and started for
the door, she screaming and lie dragging
her forward.
Mrs. Lewis ami her little son immedi
ately r?et out to alarm the neighbors, and
on their return, accompanied by neighbors
they found all silent and tho corpse
alone.
I\ S.?Since receiving the abovo we
team from the Magistrate acting as Corroner,
that tbe verdict of the jury of inquest,
found the said Therreli guilty of
the murder of the young man Edmund
Lewis.
Therreli is at present at largo but wo
hope he will bo brought to justice?he is
an ordinary size man, of light sandy hair,
being very well known in the neighborhood
we presume he will be in limbo before
long.

Court of Common Pleas and General
Sessions.
Hall vt. Huawx.? This case trie?J in
the Court of Common Plena, now sitting
on Tuesday the <kh inst., decided a point
of some general interest. The facts were
these: J nines Hall, a citizen of Florida,
and a cattle drover, contracted with the
defendant to fnrniah 100 head of cattle
to he delivered to defendant nt Charleston
sometime between the 10th and 23d
of September, 1832. Plaintiff, in pursuance
of his agreement, drove the cattle
from Florida, and proceeded without obstacle,
until be reached the Aitainaba river.
litre his progress]was arrest jJ. The
river was swollen by a freshet, and be
could not pass over with the cattle. Perceiving
that this delay must necessnril;
preclude the possibility of a literal performance
ol the agreement, Plaintiff wrote
to Defendant, stating the difficulty, ad
milting the technical breach of the contract
on his part, and inquiring whether
the difference of time which would occur
uuder the circumstances, between the time
at which delivery could l? made, and
the time agreed upon for the delivery,
would l*e insisted upon by ihu Defendant.
If so, Plaintiff stated he would drive the
cattle elsewhere. The evidence presented
that defendant had received the letter ;
that he had consulted with a sub-contractor,
mutually interested with him in the
matter, and that it was agreed between
thein Plaintiff should come on with the
oattle. Plaintiff received no reply to his
letter. '
Acting upon the above facte, Plaintiff
proceeded to Charleston, and tendered
the cattle on the 27th day of September,
being about four day* later than waa re
quired by the term* of agreement. Da*
fetid a nt refused to receive the cattle, alleging
the breach. Plaintiff gave him
notice that he would soli or butcher the
entile and charge Defendant with the dif*
feratire bat ween the contract price a ltd
the amount actually realized.
The Jury gave a verdict f?w the plaintiff
upon the ground that the neglect of
Defendant to replv to Plaintiff's letter of
in<^niry was a waiver of Defendant's right
to insist upon a literal performance of the
contract; and that if he had intended to
rescind the agreement because of the
alight difference of time which occurred
between the actual delivery and the time
specified for delivery by the terms of the
agreement, it waa bis galy to bnve notified

How to Break op a Cold.
Dr. Hall, in his Medical Journal, gives
lie following directions for breaking up h

ntimps, dr 'oilier similar ailments, will
tin its courso libditt ten days, iu spite of
