A Sketch fl»r Western Tiav-
ellcr*.
Pittsburg is generally the first stage, or
stopping place, for those who visit the wes
tern, from any of. the' eastern States.
'Phe spring Of the year is the best season
for travelling by water; the Ohio river is
then in the best stage for navigation.
At Pittsburg you will find numeroussteam
boats, destined fur dificrcnt places on the
western rivers,.
Oo on board all the boats destined for the
place you intend to visit, or call at; the ac
commodations are generally good, and the
price of fare will not vary much; but choose
a boat whose captain is affable and genteel,
nut habitually profane.
You will get a cabin passage to St. Louis
for $2O, and in proportion for any other dis
tance.
When you have selectee) a boat, Register
your name and .pluce of destination; arid as
.the dunce of berths is allowed as the names
are registered, choose one as far back in.the
cabin as you can; examine the '‘roles" and
regulations” uf.the boat, and observe them.
, In all the western fuwns and cities there
are,good boarding houses, where you will 1 be
well served for or f,95 per days—at the
"principal Hotels, it will cost you more..
To travel through Ohio, you may go by
Steamboat from Pittsburg do’wn the river to
Portsmouth; thence by land stage to Colum
bus; and then brand) olf as you may desire,
or continue down the river to Cincinati;
thence by canal to the Maumee, and thence
to lake. Erie.
A canal extends from Lawrenceburg to
tl(e interior of Indiana; another from Evans
ville through to the northern border of that
state. - v
You can traverse the south end of Illinois
by stage from Sbawneetown, on tbe Ohio.—
Following the OhiuUo the Mississippi, thence
up to' Grafton at the mouth of Illinois river,
thence up that river to Peru; from'which
placcyou can"examine the north end of that
state, or continue by canal to Chicago on
lake Michigan. ’ \
The'' Missouri river ■ affords a passage
through that state from east to west; from
many places on which, stage routs branch off
to the nortlraml south. The mouth of this
river is 18 miles'above St. Louis.
~ The Mississippi- river, bordering (he,east,
side of lowa, affords an opportunity to reach
that Territory; and, by the same river the
South west part of Wisconsin.
.The common fare on Steam boats up stream
is from S to 5 dollars for every hundred miles,
lessening as the distance you engage increa!
ses. .
A Deck passage is about one thir 1 as much
as a cabin passage;, in the forincr-vou fur-

Entry of Government Lnnd.<— lf you wish
to enter land, go through the country until
you Rod a situation that pleases! then en
quire of the nearest settlers whether it is va

This information you may have some diffi
culty in obtaining, as most of the settlers re

assured intend to become actual settlers.
, When you go to the Land office for the

Tragedy in Real is seldom "flial.
we are called op on to recoil SO shocking a
' murder as was committed On tile Eastern
Shore of Maryland, tm the 4th iris!., ihrf de*-
tails of which have! been -furnished to us by ■
a letter tinder date of the stli instant, from
Georgy Town Gross Roads, KeiVtcounfy.—
The victim was Mtk James P. Wroth,* and
the perpetrator-of the fo u I *1 eed Edga r
narn, son of a'widow lady now residing in
Philadelphia.' The moving cause of the hnr
rid’event was jealousy, so truly described by
the masterspirit of the drama, us “the green
eyed monster, which doth make the-meat it
feeds on.’’ It appears that New cam, while
on a.visit to that neighborhood, became ac*-
cjuainted with a young lady by the name cf
Lavinia Finer, daughter of the late B. Pirter;
of Kent county. Intercourse tebded to in
crease the pas'sion of iovc which had bee4’
slumbering in his’bosom, arid the sanve Inter*-
course assured him that his passion was on*-
requited. In the mead time- he perceive;!
an intimacy between Miss Piner’and the'un
fbrtunate deceased, and TeVeiige seized his
soul. In an interview with Miss P. he sta
ted his feelings, and concluded by asserting
that he would satiate his re\ehge either on
Miss Pined or Mr. Wroth. When the hour
tor tea arrived, they all assembled, and New
ham and \Vroll) took seats’ together irt the
table, apparently oh goOd terms.' Tlicy fc
mained togetherin the room until-'lO o'clock-.
Newnam thin lelired, apparentlyAvii'u.'the
intention of going to bed, in company 'With '
Pennington. He however, did'-not-go'to bed-,
but remained out of doors sometime,'-'and
then came into the room where -Pennington
was and endeavored to open his trluik. fie
succeeded finally in this, and taking from it •
a buttle, he swallowed some liquor, and
smacking his lips observed, "nowT will try
again.’? He then went out, and in a very
short time came t(f;th«*-«'H»(l<)\y of. the robin
in which Wroth was sit’ing with the familyv
-including three females, and presenting a
gun,~witlrdetsberatc aim fired, and literally
blowcd the head of the unfortunate victim tri
atoms—the brains were scattered all over
the room, and those who were sitling croijndv
Miss Lavinia was sitting on a low chair irt*
line With the shot, which passed-over her,
arid the supposition is that the desiga Was to
kill both by the same discharge. Immedi
ately upon firing, Newriam ran to the room
where Pennington was ifi bed, arid exclaim
ed “IJia-ve done it.” P.asked “dude what? rt
ami N. replied, "killed Wroth.” He irisis- -
ted upon being arrested, arid followed Pen
nington-toTlib’door of-the-rbom-'and ask-e'd if~
Wroth-, was dead. He was shortly aflcrtied
hand and I foot, and taken to Gfosterfh'.vft
jail- He did not express much regret at the
occurrence, until he-. Spok- of- his mother; '
wheri remorso seemed to seize him.

deceased, who gave a verb ret iti a'ccuidunc#
