Murphy, 18 Dec 2002] Plain Dealing.- We perceive by the Salisbury Journal, that the friends of the Union have had a meeting in Burke County, North Carolina, at which much eloquence was displayed. Mr. Carson alone advocated nullification. When he took his seat, David Buker, Esq. Revolutionary soldier, venerable for his age and unblemished character, rose with staff in each hand to support his tottering frame, and requested permission to address a few words to his fellow citizens. After promising that he was probably the oldest man in the house, he went on to say that he enlisted under Washington, in the first regiment raised in Virginia, in the beginning of our revolutionary struggle; and after other remarks, be added, that in those days there were men who attempted to resist the laws of their Government, and they were publicly tarred and feathered; and, continued the venerable old patriarch, he feared that it must come to that here! When this was uttered, the whole audience, as if by one impulse, united in a most deafening applause; and the old veteran sat down, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of his fellow citizens. N. C. Spectator. -------------- Unfortunate Occurence.- We learn from a correspondent, that on Thursday, 25th ultimo, Honestus H. Boon, of Johnson county, returning home in company with Mr. Devereaux Hopkins, a young man and near relative, with whom he had devoted the principal part of the day to squirrel hunting, accidently shot himself and expired within a very few moments, apparently without any pain. This melancholy accident was occasioned by falling from a fence upon which they were sitting. Mr. Boon was a young man, just entered upon the stage of life, in the 22d year of his age, with very flattering prospects, and was much respected. He has left a widowed mother, and aged grandfather and grandmother, a sister, and three brothers, with a large circle of other relatives, friends and acquaintances to bemoan his fate. Ral. Star. -------------- Wake Forrest Institute Messrs. Gales & Son: By some means, a report has been circulated, stating that the number of Students has been entered, to which this Institution is to be limited; and as this report is calculated to prevent persons from applying who may wish to enter the Institution, I take this method of stating, that the report is incorrect. The number is limited to 50, and there is a vacancy for about thirty Students; so that those who wish to avail themselves of the advantages of the Institute may do so, by making timely application. It is highly probable that we shall not be able to accomodate all who will apply, therefore those who may wish to enter, will do well to apply soon. All Communications and Letters directed to the Subcriber[sic] (post paid) will be attended to. James G. Hall. Raleigh, October 26, 1832. --------------- MARRIED, On Tuesda y evening last, by the Rev. B. Field, of the Methodist E. Church, Mr. PEYTON T.
