Caution to Parents. — A child of Lewis Gordon of 

 Portland, a little boy between two and three years old, 

 lost his life a few days since by his clothes taking fire. 

 Its mother left it a few minutes to go into one of the 

 neighbors, and on her return she met it at the door with 

 its clothes on fire ! it lived about twenty-eight hours. 



Sheep. — The sale of Mr. Thomas Wright's flock of 

 Merino sheep, in Chesterfield, last week, brought togeth- 

 er a great number of people. The 200 sheep were sold 

 for about 500 dollars, or $2,50 each. Some brought over 

 $3,00, and some less than $2,00.— Hamp. Gaz. 



Quebec, Oct. 21. — The weather has been dry but 

 cold. This morning there was ice fully half an inch 

 thick, and the mud of the roads bore the carriages. The 

 ground was sufficiently frozen to prevent potatoes from 

 beinn- conveniently raised in places at all moist. There 

 are still some fields of oats out in a green state. 



A decision of importance has been made in the State 

 of Alabama, in regard to State jurisdiction over the In- 

 dians within its limits. A Cherokee Indiau was indicted 

 for murder, before the Circuit Court of the County of 

 St. Clair, and when arraigned, his counsel filed a plea to 

 the jurisdiction and maintained in support of the plea, 

 two points : — 1st. That the State of Alabama has no 

 right to extend its jurisdiction over the Indian nations 

 within its chartered limits — and 2d. conceding the right, 

 the act of the legislature did not embrace the case under 

 consideration. 



The court sustained the plea, aud discharged the pris- 

 oner, upon the grounds that Alabama had become a 

 member of the Union with full knowledge of the treaties 

 subsisting between the United States and the Cherokees. 

 and that those treaties, having guaranteed the soil and 

 jurisdiction to the Indians, the State had no right to eith- 

 er. — Bait. Am. 



Bears. — From different parts of the country we con- 

 tinue to hear of the ravages of the Bears, who it seems 

 have lately been so bold as to attack Oxen. We are 

 informed that a short time ago, an Ox was killed at Le- 

 preaux by a Bear, and last week, C. L. Hathaway, Esq. 

 of Lancaster, had a pair of large oxen wounded — one 

 severely and the other mortally by a Bear or Bears. We 

 would earnestly recommend to people throughout the 

 country to set log traps for these destructive beasts, some 

 recommend a trap baited at night with a living sheep, 

 which may be safely removed every morning ; the bleat- 

 ing of the lone sheep induces the Bear to enter, and the 

 trap springs before he reaches the bait.— St. John City 

 Gazette. 



Information which may be relied on has been received 

 from the county of Saguenay on the subject of the har- 

 vest. In distant parts and elevated ground of the parishes 

 of Baie St. Paul,Eboulemens, and Malbaie, the crops as 

 early as the month of August, were all frozen and the 

 inhabitants there, will be distressed as in 1810. In the 

 low grounds, the crops, after great difficulty, have been 

 partially saved, and the harvest is deficient by nearly a 

 half. In the Ue-aux-Coudres, from the dryness of the 

 soil, low situation, and exposure to the influence of the 

 sea air, there will be a sufficient supply for consumption. 

 The population of this country is about 10,000 souls.—

 ducting Sound in an infinitely more distinct and agreeable man-
