_ Avpniii*r lcist week, Co unit Ben in !ii> Quarter
?„ company »i«> his »ife. Without testifying
Either surprise or anger at his presence, he dis
ffuised his feelings, such as they were, and wel
fnmed him in such a manner os to arouse no sus -
nirion whatever of his designs upon him. That
k«venzeance might be complete,* that it might
f.n noon a passive and unresisting victim,he plied
Kim with liquor until he had soon reduced him to
,.ch a state as to be incapable of offering any
Mttistance to prevent the consummation of his
fiendish purpose. As soon as he was assured
f this fact, he commenced with the cool delib
plition of an executioner, to lop off one by one,
th an axe, the limbs of the unfortunate ineb
riate He attempted first to hew off, by the
shoulder blades, the arms of his victim, cutting
• | ujantiling his body in a manner horrible to
an)jte ip> then continued the same process in
!rejal’.'»n to tne feet, without, however, accom
lishin^his purpose entirely in either instance.
&e then gave, as he deemed, a finishing blow,
bv fracturing his skull, and left him for dead.—
Nothwithstanding all this, the miserable object
f his vengeance survived these cruelties for a
considerable space of time. The perpetrator
mide no attempt to escape, but was the first to
inform his master of the deed, seeming to con
sider it as justifiable, both by the laws of God
and man.—Afa*
The packet ship Europe, A. C. Marshall, ar
rived at Liverpool on the 19th Sep. having the
remarkable shoit passage of 17 days from New
York. _
Fvr.a Dr el.—We learn that a duel was
foU„ht behind the Race Course, this morning,
between two individuals, one of whom, named
Vrancis Boutun. was Bar Keeper at Mrs. Char
ges Boarding House, East Bay. and the other
lately Arrived from Boston, was a boarder at
the same Hotel. Tne former was shot through
he heart, at the first fire, and instantly expired.
A trilling dispute was, we understand, the cause
ofthi; fatal event.—Charleston Put riot.
Nassau Hall.—The Rev. Daniel Newell has
appointed Genera! Agent by the Alumni
Association ol Nassau Hall, to solicit donations
for tl»e extension and improvement of that Col
|p.»p. His efforts, we hope, may be successful;
for few institutions in our country have been
more instrumental in sending forth men of sci
ence to instruct—of literature to adorn—and of
piety for "the healing of the nations.” It de
serves a cordial patronage.—iV. Y. Cum. Ado.
FRE®ERICKc»BURG AGRICULTURAL
SHOW AND FAIR.
We were prevented by other engagements from
attending the Show and Fair of the Fredericks
burg Agricultural Society. A friend, however,
has furnished us with the following account,
from which we are pleased to learn that it was
superior to any that has been held for many
years.— Fred. Arena.
The members of the Agricultural Society of
Fredericksburg commemorated their U5th Anni
rersary on Thurdav and Friday last; on w hich
occasion they had a Show and Fair much
superior to any but one, that they have ever
had before; lor although the number of Ani
mals exhibited fell short of that brought for
ward at one or two of their first exhibitions,
they were generally of lar better quality.—
This remark applies particularly to the Stal
lians. Colts and Bulls—the premium Animal in
each of these cases being uncommonly fine;
which circumstance warrants the belief that the
efforts to improve the breeds of our horses and
cattle are now much more zealous, as w ell as
more judiciously directed than formerly.
This last meeting was also distinguished, not
only by a much fuller attendance of old Mem
bers, than for several Anniversaries past; but by
the accession of twenty new ones, most of whom
ire practical Agriculturalists. Such increase
of strength in members, as well ns of zeal in
those long attached to the Society, affords strong
evidence, not only that the Society itself, by its
vigorous continuance, will wipe away the old
reproach, that Virginians can never persevere
io any good work; but that the spirit of improve
ment in every branch of Husbandry is now ac
tively at work in a very large portion of the an
cient dominion; and that the most beneficial
result may be anticipated from its future opera
tions. Thes society, it is believed is not only
the oldest in Virginia; but the only one that has
Wn kept upfront its first establishment to the
present day; and there is every reason to
hope, from present appearances, that its mem
bers. (to borrow a sailor’s phrase,) “ will never
it"** up the ship."
We reget to add, that our good friends—the
ladies—did not exhibit as many articles of do
mestic Manufacture as usual; but it is a tribute
gratefully pay to them to remark, that such
is C'-re exhibited afforded very excellent speci
mens of what their industry, skill, and ingenuity
can accomplish, whenever they choose to exert
thfin. We have great reliance upon their aid;
»n<l should seriously lament any intermission of i
to-ir previous co-operation in the effort to inter- i
«the Public in our exhibitions. If they de- j
***n us. from any fault on our part, we shall de- (
wr* all that may happen to us in consequence i
°f this desertion.
Among the curiosities exhibited at the Meet- i
la* *ere twenty-five stalks of corn, with their
produce of one hundred and four ears.—the ave
nge being a fraction over five ears to the stalk.
corn was raised on high land by Mr. G. !
*’ Basset one of the members, and probably ;
^*arae variety recommended by the Presi-j
'>nt- it is called in Spotsylvania AI so p’s corn, ;
’'m the name of the farmer who first brought
•t into notice. Another member stated that he
cultivated the same kind on low land, and ;
^11 he was confident he could gather a great*
fr nutuber of ears from the same number of
stalks.
The other curiosity was some seed having
exactly the same appearance with that of the j
wna-grass, and believed by those who saw it
'heidentical. It was found by Mr. Jno. Dick !
'oni another member of the society, in some
l0*iand. upon his farm on the Rappahannock,
•^Caroline county, about 16 miles below Fre
^ncksburg. and was gathered from two bunch
kam ?r,SS’ which (as be stated) resemble the
_ 1 grass in every respect.
*** two circumstances are not of much
Ornnent in themselves, but thpy add to the mass
\ ^3cts as it is one of the purposes of
I Agricultural Societies to collect and to dissemi
therefore, they are offered for pub
■ nation in vour useful Journal.

Flcur.—Tuesday the wagon price of Flour
was 84 87$ a 4 90—three or four loads were
taken at 4 95. Yesterday the receipts were so
small that it was difficult to establish a price.
We quote 4 75 a 4 90, to embrace the offers of
the different dealers. *The price may be said
to be unsettled; but we presume, when settled,
it will be 4 75, as the article is dull and cannot
be sold from stores at 4 87$.
BOSTON MARKET—Nov. 15.
Flour.—We notice sales of 8 to 9000 bbls of
all descriptions, embracing 500 bbls Fredericks
burg lowland, at part 4 or 0 mo., 500 bbls
Baltimore Howard st. $5f, part 4 mo, and part 3
per. c. dis. cash; 2 a 3000 bbls Genessent .$5.30
a 5.50. cash, ami about the same quantity at 5|
a 5j; 1000 tibls Alexandria and Fredericksburg
lowland at 5$, and small s ales of Baltimore
Howard street at 5| per bbl 4 mo. The quantity
of Howard street at market is considered small.
Chain.—There have been large arrivals of
Corn,and prices have declined. We quote to
conform to sales, although several cargoes were
purchased previous to arrival at an advance.—
The sales are embraced in 12 or 15,000 bushels
Northern yellow Corn, at quotations; Southern
yellow, 78c: and white, 76c per bushel, cash.—
Also, some lots of Rye and Oats, at Quotations.
NEW YORK MARKET,—Nov. 17.
There has been a good deal of animation in
the Cotton market this morning, and prices are
£ a J cts per lb. higher than on Saturday.
Baltimore Patriot Office, (
Tuesday 1 o’clock, P. M. ^
Flour.—There has been no operations in the
Flour market since our Friday’s report—the
rain being so excessive here yesterday that the
wagons were not able to unload. We repeat
our former quotations, from store* $5,12£ a
5,18}, and from wagons at £5.
drain.— The supply of all descriptions of
Grain is full. Wheat, prime red. we quote $1 00
a 1,02—strictly prime, 1.03 a 1,04—fair to good,
98 a 1,00—white 1,00 a 1.04—family Flour, white,
1,10. a 1,12—Rye. 67 a 68c—old Corn, white, 72

per bbl. 2,87£ a 3; Oats, 30 a 32.
Whiskey.—The price of this article is without
Ctiange. We quote at 32 a 32^'. in bbls. and 30
a 30>j c. in liluls.
Cuttle.—There is no change in the price of
Cattle on the hoof, which continues to range
from Si to5. Hogs continue to decline in price
— we quote to-day $5 a 5.25.
two weeks the Session of Congress will
commence. Its duration, by the Constitution,
will be limited to the 4tli of March next. Though
brief, it will, doubtless, be one of nuiTh interest.
The peculiar political condition of the country,
and the state of parties, will more than make up
for the absence of any exciting matters of mere
legislation.
During the Session we will exert ourselves to
give our read ere the earliest and most authentic
intelligence from the Seat of Govei nment. The
Alexandria Gazette will contain, daily, a sum
mary of the proceedings of Congress of the day
previous, prepared expressly for its columns.—
We design to keep a faithful and impartial re
cord of the debates that may take place in both
houses; and, for this purpose, shall always giw,
at least, one or two of the principal speeches on
both sides, on all questions of importance.
We shall have, likewise, the advantage of
Correspondents from V\ ashington, whose letters
will give the cui rent news of the Metropolis.—
Our own personal attendance, as often as we
can. at Congress, will also enable us to collect
all of interest that transpires.
Thus, without burthening our columns, or an
noying our readers with all that is said and done
in Congress on every subject, private and pub
lic, we hope to present them with an account of
every thing useful or interesting.
in the mean time we shall not remit our exer
tions to make the Gazette a channel for con
veying to its readers the earliest news foreign
and domestic, with the Literary, Political, and
Commercial intelligence of the day; so that, with
out confining its columns to any particular sub
ject or subjects, to the exclusion of others, it may
always he referred to for that information which
intelligent citizens ought to expect from a news
paper.
