tied on the end of a rope fc: the purpose, on
which he placed his fcet, and was lowered down,
but as he approached the bottom, he was almost
inflantaneoufly fuffocated with the dead air, and
dropped from the rope. A Mr. Jesse Benham,
who has attended the ferry at Troy, inconsider
ately went down after him, and met with a like
fate. The water ip the well not being more
than a foot in depth, the bodies were soon taken
up, but every attempt to re-animate them prov
edineffe&ual. While we fympathife with the
refpedable and numerous connexions of the
former, and most sincerely regret his premature
death, our sensibility is peculiarly awakened at
the fate of the latter, who has left a wife and
federal children to lament an irreparable loss.

TOR THE U.S. ORACLE OF TH£ DAY.
Original.—FUNEßAL HYMN,
Sacred to the Memory of the inr^rt.^
WASHINGTON.
Tune—Funeral tba „t.
HARK from the weeping Vernon, hear.
What difural, melting found;
Fun'ral groans aflail the ear,
And voice of grief profound.
To DEATH within hit grim abode,
The dirgeful order came ;
He paus'd, he bow'd, obey'd his God,
Yet fear'd the hero's name.
The tyrant's cell with fuelling sighs,
Throughout its caverns rung;
Fears burst from forth his hollow eyes,
And cypress round him hung.
Keen from the grisly monger's bow,
The death-ring'd arrow sped;
He trembled as he gave the blow—
And mighty nature bled.
Columbia's guardian angels saw,
The deed, alas, was done ;
They wept —yet bieftth* eternal law.
That gave them WASHINGTON.
ConfyffionM from the spheres, behold.
Soon us the mandate flies ;
Seraphs array'd in bdrnifh'd gold,
To waft Em to the flties.
Lo ! through eternal realms of light,
His welcome loudly rung !
Angels in radiance beaming bright,
Th' immortal bluffing sung.
Cioth'd in celestial glory ihone,
Th' immortal hero's head ;
Bright hierarchs before the Throne,
Exalt the hero, Dead !
Tho' nature sighs and millions moan,
A tribute which they owe,
Angels erect that radiant throne,
He well deferv'd below.

OTHE ^bove work has passed
the ordeal of critical tafle, and is pronounced by
the firft literary judges, to be a composition of
sterling merit. Its great obje&,is to expofc the
horrid consequences of asocial and a moral na
ture, which have flowed and still flow from
the accursed fountain of French Pbilofpbical ll
luminatism. It is expelled, that ail sincere
haters of Gallic Morals, otherwise the Punica
Jides of public and private life, will liberally pat
ronize a volume of this nature.
