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.
