LOST BOY
In the month of August last, a boy
named William WILLIAMS, living with his brother-in-law, Aaron WARNER, in
Murray, having attended a meeting one evening some distance from home, stayed
over night with a friend. He got up early the next morning and left for home,
since which he has not been heard of. His friends made some search for him,
but as he was not to be found, concluded he must have gone to his mother's in
Canada. They wrote to her and requested immediate information if he was not
there. His mother wrote back that he was not with her; but the letter was not
received, and Mr. WARNER supposing the boy to be in Canada, made no further
inquiry on the subject. Mrs. W. hearing nothing more, concluded that he had
returned to his brother-in-law. They were not undeceived until the arrival of
a brother last week from Canada, who brought the painful intelligence that the
boy was not there. Mrs. WILLIAMS, has arrived in Murray, and feeling all a
mother's anxiety for a lost child, solicits the assistance of the friends of
humanity in her endeavors to ascertain the fate of her son. He was 14 years
old -- had light-hair and complexion -- light blue eyes, and was tall for his
age. His fate is wrapped in mystery. He was so steady and so much attached to
home as almost to forbid the idea that he could have ranaway. Before leaving
the house, where he stayed over night, in the morning, he complained of
illness -- of pain in his bones -- and the probability is that on his way home
his fever increased to such a degree as to render him incapable of directing
his course, and that he wandered into the woods through which he had to pass,
and died there. His mother will remain at Murray until the snow disappears
and the woods have been thoroughly searched. In the mean time she will be
truly grateful for any information of her son, which may be communicated to
Cynthia WILLIAMS, Murray, or to Justice W. WILLIAMS, East-Flamborough, U. C.
-Editors, particularly in the western
part of this state and Upper Canada, are requested to notice the above, for
which they will receive a widow's gratitude.

CHARGE OF MURDER - The mate of the brig Triton, which arrived here on Monday
last from Guayama, was on Saturday apprehended on a warrant issued by the
Judge of the U. S. District Court, charging him with the murder of one of
the crew on the high seas, on the outward voyage of the brig, the next
day after she left this port. The information was given by the crew. The
substance of the charge is, that the deceased was assaulted by the mate while
the captain was in the cabin, and after being severely beaten with a rope's
end, was ordered to go aloft and adjust some of the rigging. While he was
engaged in that duty, the mate ascended the shrouds, and again struck him,
several times, with such violence that he fell into the sea and was drowned.
The name of the mate is Thos. SOULE. The name of the deceased was PHELPS. The
accused underwent an examination this morning before Judge BETTS, by whom he
was fully committed for trial. Four of the crew appeared as witnesses against
him. [The ex-parte preliminary testimony of witnesses should always be
received with some grains of allowance.] -- Jour. Com.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS
The abandonment of the use of ardent spirits on board of our National vessels
appears to be viewed with increasing favors by those who are the immediate
objects of the benefit thus intended to be effected. The Washington Globe
states that in several of the public vessels on foreign stations, more than
half their crews have voluntarily relinquished ardent spirits, and accepted
the cost of their customary allowance in the small sum substituted by the
secretary of the Navy. Late letters from the John ADAMS and Potomac represent
that this change in the habits of the sailors had taken place to a great and
most exemplary extent.
The Commissioners of the town of Athens, Georgia,
have imposed a tax of $500 on every person retailing spirituous liquors, and a
like sum on every billiard table.

SUICIDE - The body of a man found on Sunday, and mentioned in Monday's
Gazette, turns out to have been that of Carl KORESSLER, a German about forty
years of age. It appears that he was a sober, correct man, and that he left
his lodgings in Frankfort street after dinner on Friday. -- He was in distress
for funds, and without employment. In a note to his landlord, Francis MICKEL,
his excuse for the suicide is, that his father did not give him the same
proportion of his property as he gave to his brother and sister. He requested
Mr. MICKEL to send a note he left for 216 dollars, to his father, and let him
know that he had fulfilled his promise in taking his own life.

We some time since published a statement from a New-Orleans paper, reflecting
upon the character of Mr. Simon CAMERON, of Pennsylvania, who had employed men
to proceed to that place to work on the Canal. He was charged with having
deceived them, and acted dishonorably. Mr. C. has published certificates in
the Pennsylvania Inquirer, which fully exonerate him from the charge.

GROCERY LICENSES - At a late term of the Court of General Sessions in this
county, a number of indictments were tried against individuals in the village
of Geneva, for retailing ardent spirits to be drank in their houses. The
defendants plead as a justification, that they had obtained a license from the
Trustees of their village, authorising them to retail spirits to be drank on
their premises. The question of the legality of these licenses was ably argued
by counsel on both sides, Mr. WHITING and Mr. WILSON for the people, and Mr.
SIBLEY and Mr. PARKE, for the defendants. The count decided, on examining all
the statues upon the subject, that the licenses were void -- that the Trustees
of Geneva have no authority to grant such licenses; and there is no authority
under the Revised Statutes in the Trustees of any of our villages, to grant
such licenses, unless the authority has been given to some particular village,
since the Revised Statutes were passed. -- Ont. Rep.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE -- The case of Mr. N. O. ARCHER, who was sentenced to ten days
imprisonment for having refused to change the dress in which he appeared at a
militia parade, at the whim of a militia officer, is fresh in the memory of
our readers. A suit in relation to the case is still pending. We are now
informed that the same Court Martial have sentenced a Mr. BUTLER to
imprisonment for the same time for a similar offence, and that he has been in
prison since Monday afternoon!! It is said that two of the Court were in favor
of the sentence, and one opposed to it; we are not furnished with the names of
the two who have made so despicable a use of their "brief
authority," or we would immortalize them. It is high time that all
militia men, who value their liberty & rights should take this matter in
hand in earnest, for it does not appear that the Legislature at present in
power are disposed to do any thing to amend a system liable to such gross
abuses. -- N. Y. Daily Adv.
