Take Notice.
ALL persons indebted for this paper, who have not settled up their bills for the last twelve months past, are earnestly requested to call at the Printing Office and discharge the same. Those whose accounts are of a much longer date, this call is more particularly addressed to, they have often been called on, but have not come, should they still neglect, it will be conceived they wish to be called on in a more particular and expensive way by the Printer.

New Law Authority.
THERE has just been published in Boston, and may be had of James White and Samuel Hall, in Boston; of Nathaniel Paine, Esq. of Worcester; Joseph Lyman, Esq. Northampton; William Prescott, Esq. Salem; Dudley A. Tyng, Esq. Newburyport; H. S. Langdon, Esq. Portsmouth; and the Hon. Daniel Davis, at Portland, an American production, entitled,
"The HISTORY OF LAND TITLES in Massachusetts. By James Sullivan, Attorney-General of that State."
This book has its origin in the provision of the Constitution—"that all laws adopted, and practised upon before the revolution, should remain in force until altered by the General Court."
The object is, to shew what laws had been adopted, and practised upon; what laws had been made here, and what are now in force in regard to real estates.
This book is addressed to the Judges of the Supreme Judicial Court, because it treats of the principles by them, from time to time adopted; and contains reports of their decisions in many cases, as well on our Statutes as on the Common Law.
The author gives an explanatory description of the Common Law, and of its use in the State.
An account of the civil institutions of the natives, when the country was discovered, in regard to lands.
The history of the discovery of the country.
The tenor and principles of the charters, granted to the first settlers.
The laws which governed real property in the old colonies of Massachusetts, New-Plymouth, the Province of Maine, and the Territory of Acadia, before the charter of 1698.
The consolidation of those several colonies by that charter, and the contest respecting, and the settlement of its boundaries.
The laws now in being for the government of real Estates—Fee Simple—Fee tail—Inheritances in right of the whole, and half blood—Estates for life—Estates in dower, in curtesy, and by grant—Estates for term of years—Estates by purchase, in which the making and probate of wills, devisees, &c. are considered—Deeds and conveyances—Sales by executors, administrators and guardians; with directions as to the laws to be observed, and the rules established—Sales by taxes and the laws on the same—Extents of executions—Mortgages, and the manner of redemption of mortgaged Estates.
The doctrine of uses and trust are explained in a familiar manner.
The remedies in real actions—containing the principles of ejectments, and other real actions; and the forms of declarations and pleas in the same.
The remedies in trespass, waste and nuisances, by overflowsings, &c. and the declarations and pleas, as well on the Statutes, as on the Common Law in those cases, as used and practised in this State.
The book contains 400 pages, and is handsomely printed and bound.—The price is three dollars.
The net proceeds are for the use of the Historical Society, to be expended for public objects.
The production will be of great use to students: And as the authorities for the principles it contains in the English reports and institutes, and the decisions of our own Courts, are accurately referred to, it will be of advantage to gentlemen in practice. The Judge and the Justice of the Peace will derive benefit from the definition of jurisdiction in cases respecting lands; and the gentlemen who love to read on subjects interesting to their country, will find entertainment in the book.
Those who conceive of the high advantage of having established Institutes, and useful authorities of our own country, will give their countenance to an attempt of so much importance.
Pocket Book Found.
TAKEN up in the river opposite Spring-Hill the 26th instant, floating in the tide, a small leather pocket book, containing a sum of money and sundry valuable papers; the owner by applying to ZEBULON WILLEY of Newington, and properly describing the same, may have his pocket book and the contents, only making reasonable compensation for expense and trouble.

SELECTED FROM PAPERS BY THE LATEST ARRIVALS.
LONDON, SEPT. 6.
By the Spider sloop, from Egypt, upwards 6000 letters were yesterday received. Alexandria was reduced to the greatest want. Menou had sent out many of the inhabitants, to reduce the consumption of provisions. The garrison was strongly fortified; though it expressed much dissatisfaction at the delay of succors.
Sir R. Bickerton, with three sail of the line, including Le Tygre , had on the 18th June, rejoined Lord Keath off Alexandria; on hearing that the enemy's fleet had appeared to the westward, his Lordship dispatched this little squadron along the coast to intercept them, reserving only four sail of the line to continue the blockade of Alexandria.
Sir R. Bickerton, on reaching his station, sent a brig in-shore, when our people were informed by the Arabs, that the French had been there ten days before, and had plundered them of every thing worth carrying off. After an unsuccessful cruise, the Admiral returned to Alexandria.
Our fleet at the date of these accounts, was perfectly healthy, and well supplied with provisions; and our army possessing a profusion of every necessary, was much more healthy than could have been expected from the nature of the climate and service.
Yesterday's dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Admiral Cornwallis. By the same conveyance we received letters from the fleet to the 30th ult. at which period our force comprised 27 sail of the line, twelve of which were two deckers. The enemy's fleet, consisting of 35 ships of the line, were in the outer road at single anchor, and in apparent readiness for sea.
Lord Nelson, on Friday evening continued in the Downs. His Lordship has, during the last week, been joined by two more bomb-vessels and several gun-brigs which have been equipped in the Medway for the purpose with great dispatch. Independent of the vessels off Boulogne and the Flemish coast, his Lordship has under his command in the Downs, the Amazon , Alkmaar , Leyden , York , Iris , and Anson ; Eugene , Garnet , Diligence and Gier , sloops; Zebra , Vesuvius , Volcano , Terror , and Discovery , bombs; Nancy and Victorie fire-ships; Plumber , Bold , Defender , Minx , Ferret , Eclipse , Tygers , Bruiser , and Snipe , gun-brigs, with some hired cutters.
It is stated, but with what degree of truth we know not, that the cabinet of Berlin has announced to our Court, the intention of his Prussian Majesty, to withdraw his troops from the Electorate of Hanover, as immediately as the indemnities on the Rhine, are adjusted.
ALGIERS.—It was stated in the German prints lately received, that an English and Turkish squadron was about to sail from Egypt for Algiers, to enforce the regular payment of the tribute due by the Dey to the Porte; the report is in toto erroneous, and is supposed to have been propagated by the Agents of Bonaparte, with a view to promote a negotiation which he has been for some time ineffectually endeavouring to conclude with Algiers.
The fact is, that the Dey of Algiers is not tributary to the Porte; but on the contrary is frequently subsidised by the Signor for any assistance he may render to him. The amount of this subsidy is regulated by the nature of the service, and is generally paid in tar, cordage, and other articles of naval stores.
The Dey is bound to the Porte by a political league offensive and defensive; but the obligations are mutual; and do not effect the independence of the former.
LONDON, SEPT. 6.
Sir James Saumarez has been appointed Knight of the Bath.
WASHINGTON, October 16.
On the 12th inst. Mr. Blicher Olsen , was received by the President of the United States, in the character of Minister Resident of his Majesty the King of Denmark, with which he has been clothed; and on the next day an Exequatur issued to him as Consul-General of his said Majesty.
The judicious management of our LITTLE NAVAL FORCE has manifested itself in the complete protection of our trade in the Mediterranean at this interesting period. The value of the merchandise lately conveyed from thence, amounts to three hundred and fifty-nine thousand, five hundred dollars, and the number of seamen on board of the vessels, to 257. Pray, Mr. Smith, is not some credit due to the administrations which furnished this LITTLE NAVAL FORCE; and which
have been so illiberally treated by those who now manage the navy they furnished?
OCT. 19.
There is something brewing in the Cabinet which we cannot understand. Time will develop it. Perhaps we shall discover by the President's speech what new measures are to be adopted, what new plans are in agitation. We have an explanation of the motives that induced Mr. Gallatin's orders to the Commissioners of Loans, &c.—As far as we have been able to learn the causes of Mr. Habersham's resignation, we trace it to a disagreement between the President and himself. We are told that Mr. Jefferson sent for Mr. Habersham, and informed him, that it was his will that the contracts which the Post Master General should hereafter make for carrying the mail, should be extended to but one year. Mr. Habersham informed him, that they had generally been made for two, three and four years; and represented to the President that it would be injurious to the revenue to limit their duration to so short a period as one year; that many who enter into contracts for carrying the mail, were obliged to furnish themselves with horses and stages, often at great expense; which they could not afford to do, to receive the benefits that might result from a single year; that by so furnishing themselves, the revenue itself was increased, and the contractors carried the mail at much less price than they otherwise would. The President still insisted that he should confine the contracts to but one year. Mr. Habersham then informed him that his duty to the interests of the revenue would not permit him to do so; and that if the President still insisted, he had no alternative, and must resign. The President still insisted, and Mr. Habersham resigned.
Such is the information we have received from various persons, and we have no doubt of its correctness.
The true cause of the conduct of the Executive we imagine was indirectly to dismiss Mr. Habersham; who has the appointment of all the Post Masters in the United States, and who makes contracts with all the mail carriers. Thus a democratic Post Master General may be appointed, who will feel no repugnance to ejecting many federal Post Masters from office, to introduce those of a different cast. Matthew Lyon, it is said, expects to contract for carrying the mail on many roads in Kentucky. A democratic Post Master General might not feel so great a repugnance to give him such price as he might demand, as perhaps a federal officer might. There are many democrats who are longing for the offices of Deputy Post Masters; and many who wish to contract for carrying the mail at their own price.
The conduct of Mr. Habersham is highly commendable, and has ever been, while in office. We have great cause to fear that his successor, whoever he may be, will not command that confidence, and approbation, so justly bestowed on Mr. Habersham.

ALBANY, October 23.
THE CONVENTION
Have agreed to a resolution limiting the number of Representatives in the Legislature, in its largest extent, to 150.—The constitution, as it now stands, admits of an increase to 300.
After the present census they are to be increased, on the taking of every future census, in ratio of two members a year in the whole State. That is, after the next septennial census, an addition is to be made of fourteen members, and so on at every successive census, until they amount to 150.
They have reduced the Senate to 24 members, and limited their largest number to 30. They are to increase in a ratio of one Senator for every four years.
The apportionment of Senators and Representatives among the different election districts, is to be left with the Legislature for the time being.
The Convention passed a resolution yesterday, declaratory of the construction of the 23d article of the constitution, relative to the right of nomination—and have resolved that the right is concurrent in the Governor and each member of the Council. Eight votes were for the exclusive right in the Governor. Five for an exclusive right in the other members of the Council.

Theodorus Bailey, Esq. is elected Representative to Congress, in New-York State.
Mr. Gavino Conful of the United States at Gibraltar, under date of
Aug. 14th, has written, "that the two Tripolitan cruisers having had a further defecion, they have hauled into the new Mole, to lay up, as they say. In the two vessels they can only muster 26 to 30 men, officers and all."
We are happy to learn that the sickness has totally disappeared at New-Bedford. New-York is also nearly free of the fever.
There were only six deaths in Norfolk, from the 10th to the 12th inst.
TRIAL OF CAPT. LITTLE.
THE trial of Captain Little, on charges alledged against him by the officers of the French corvette Le Berceau , has excited much sensibility in the breasts of every real friend to the American navy. It has been considered a "new thing under the sun," for a brave and humane officer, without the least previous investigation by the government under which he served, to be deprived of his sword, and his ship, and be compelled to stand a public trial, on the bare complaint of some of the prisoners he had just captured—whose characters were known to be infamous, and whose conduct to several American vessels, had been proved on oath to have been little better than that of pirates. Yet such things have we seen:—And on the complaint of such men, has a gallant Naval Commander been subjected to the ignominy of arrest and trial—whether from a desire to rescue the American navy from the suspicion of reproach—or from an undue attachment to the French Republic, let the manly, good sense of the American public determine—after taking into view past transactions and professions, and perusing carefully the letter of the Secretary of the Navy on the subject. Capt. Little, however, has stood the ordeal, and has brought forth the weight of his reputation undiminished. From the trial it appears that French invention produced the following charges against him:— 1st. Taking money from the prisoners. — 2d. Taking other articles. — 3d. Indecent conduct in searching the prisoners. — 4th. Cruelty in the mode of confiscating and supporting them. — 5th. Kidnaping a part of the crew. —But it will give pleasure to the public to learn, that not one syllable of these charges was founded on truth; on the contrary they appear to have originated in malice towards an officer who had arrested the piratical career of the complainants; and in the expectation that the government would be more ready to punish than countenance an act so degrading to the French Republic as the capture of a national corvette.—The sentence of the Court Martial is as full and explicit evidence of this falsehood and malice in the charges; as it is honorable to Capt. Little.—The following are the sentence of the Court; and the approbatory decision of the Secretary of the Navy:—
SENTENCE
OF THE COURT MARTIAL PRO- NOUNCED IN THE TRIAL OF CAPT. GEORGE LITTLE.
THE Court, having heard all the evidence, and prisoner's defence, and maturely and seriously considered the whole, are unanimously of opinion, that the charges are malicious and ill-founded.
The Court do, therefore, unanimously and honorable acquit the said Capt. GEORGE LITTLE of the several articles contained in the charge; against him; and he is hereby fully and honorably acquitted accordingly.

THE LETTER.
Navy Department, Sept. 25, 1801.
THE Act of Congress for the better government of the Navy of the United States, declares that no person of the navy shall pillage prisoners on board a prize, on pain of such punishment as a Court Martial shall adjudge. In the foregoing case, among several unimportant informal allegations, there is a charge of pillage exhibited against Capt. Little, and it was for the trial of this charge principally, that the Court Martial was constituted. Not only the honor of the Nation, but the honor of this officer, was deeply implicated, and, therefore, called for such a solemn investigation. In this trial, it was the government, that was the party prosecuting. The prisoners were only as the informing witnesses in a criminal prosecution. These prisoners, in legal contemplation, are not, neither were they, in the contemplation of government, considered parties. They could not have been in any degree benefited by a sentence against Capt. Little; because a Court Martial is not competent to decree a restoration of any property alledged to have been pillaged. It is only competent in such a trial to pass a sentence of acquittal or punishment.
The evidence adduced in this trial clearly proves, that the prisoners on board the prize have been pillaged. It is apparent, that watches, rings and buckles, constituting a part of the dress of the prisoners, have been pillaged from them by some persons belonging to the Boston frigate; that these articles, at the time of taking them, were not deemed, even by the persons who took them, lawful prize; that they were not reported to the officers of the Admiralty Court as prize, to be adjudicated and condemned; that they have not, at any time since, been produced; and, that no kind of satisfactory information has yet been given respecting them. But from the face of the proceedings of the Court Martial, it does appear, that the orders issued by Capt. Little were perfectly correct and legal; that he was not, in any degree, a party in this mean and disgraceful pillage, and that the charge against him has no evidence, positive or presumptive, to support it. 1, therefore, do approve of the sentence of acquittal pronounced by the Court Martial on his trial.

SPANISH SPOLIATIONS.
We understand that the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Philadelphia, having presented to the President of the United States a remonstrance on the subject of depredations committed and threatened from the Spanish port of Algeciras, have received from the office of State, official intimation, that the interests of the United States, thus suffering, will engage the immediate attention of the President—that he will order without delay the proper representations and demands to be made to the Spanish government; and will take into consideration, with the solicitude due to the object, how far any other measures, within the authority of the Executive, may contribute to arrest the progress of so serious and so UNWARRANTABLE an aggression on the LAWFUL pursuits of our commerce.

HALIFAX, OCT. 10.
Late on Tuesday evening H. M. sloop of war Pheasant , of 18 guns, Capt. Carew, returned here from a cruise in Boston Bay.
Capt. Carew has been indefatigably engaged for more than four months past, in watching the motions of the French corvette Berceau , and attempting, tho' in vain, to bring her to an action.—On the 26th ult. taking advantage of a dark night, and a heavy breeze, the Frenchman stole out of the harbor, with the greatest secrecy, and ran away over Nantucket Shoals.
Vessels which have hitherto been liable to the performance of quarantine when arriving in our harbour, will, after
to-morrow, be free from that obligation, if no contagious disease be on board.
The Emperor of Russia has prohibited the exportation of deals and timber to Great-Britain. War mongers consider this measure ominous of new hostilities.
Infallible cure for a Hooping Cough. Dissolve a scruple of salt of Tartar, in a gill of water—add 10 grains of Cochineal finely powdered, sweeten this with fine sugar—give to an infant the 4th part of a table spoonful four times a day—to a child of 2 or 3 years old half a spoonful, and from 4 upwards, a spoonful may be taken—the relief is immediate, and the cure in general within 5 or 6 days.
NIAGARA FALLS.
Extract from a Letter written at Fort Niagara, in 1798, to a gentleman in Newbury-Port.
IN riding to the Falls of Niagara, as in approaching any object of admiration, curiosity increases with every pace. The power of imagination, not more than the impression made on the light and hearing, urges us to advance, till with one view we can comprise all that can be seen of these stupendous Falls. With a favorable wind the noise of their thunder has been heard twenty or thirty miles, or even at a greater distance. The vapor rising from them in form of a cloud, is condensed in cold weather, is seen in a clear day as far as farther. At three or four miles distance the traveller is struck by the vapor, the roaring, and the tremulous motion of the earth under his feet, resembling the small and continued shocks of an earthquake.
As the view of the water opens upon him he is lost in amazement, while he hobbles down the steep bank, and places his foot on the Tab'e Rock, at the very verge of the cataract.
Here, for a long time, he remains, half petrified with horror, till he is wet with mist; with the most indescribable emotions he gazes, breathes out a deep sigh, looks about him again and again, and surveys with speechless wonder a brilliant rainbow, which may always be seen in a sunny day, forming a beautiful arch from the bottom of the Falls, and extending many rods below. He stands on tiptoe to look far above him up the river, and beyond some ripples sees an expanded surface of smooth water, delightfully interspersed with a variety of verdant islands, one of which is situated at the pitch of the Falls, and separates the river, for 15 or 20 rods, into two parts, much the greater division passing between the and island the west or Canada side. He advances probably on his hands and knees, to the edge of the rock, and with a mixture of pride, avidity, and apprehension, peeps over to behold the turbulent abyss below. He shudders in examining the evacuated bank of rocks, 150 feet high, on the top which he rests, fearing lest the projected layers which support him should give way, as many have done, and let him down to instant death. He rises, re-examines every part of the scene, delays to return, till at length he is forced to withdraw not half satisfied.
On the west side, one mile and a half below the falls, is a place, where, by the help of a ladder, a man may descend the steep rocky bank to the water's edge; between which and the foot of the bank, thro' a most difficult and dangerous route, he may walk to the foot of the falls. Conceive the traveller now standing at the bottom of the cataract, where the projecting sheet of falling water leaves a large vacancy, as it is improperly called, between itself and the hollow bank. The place is so replete with wind, and mist, and darkness, that no one can enter it. The prospect and feelings of the spectator on this spot mock all description, and set at defiance the choicest selection of words within the compass of my imagination to convey an adequate idea of the reality. Before you is the great body of falling water, compressed by the circular form of the rock over which it passes; its pea-green color, like that of the ocean, is gradually lost as it rushes down, assuming the softest, most beautiful and downy whiteness, till the eye can no longer trace it through the impenetrable mist which rises from the dashing of the water against the rocks in the bed of the river.
If you look into the river you are astonished by the wildest ebullitions; if up the side of the regularly hollowed bank of loose rocks, its inclined, threatening brow seems ready to bury you in ruins! If down the side of the river, a jagged and apparently impassable shore, over which you must again travel, and which has already cut your shoes, bruised your feet, and alarmed you by the expectation of broken bones, presents itself to view.—Notwithstanding these difficulties and dangers, women have taken this walk: Governor Simcoe's lady was one of the first. She was paid for her toil by possessing the ability to take an accurate and elegant drawing of the whole scenery. This art I never so ardently wished to possess as on this occasion. Here you read the strongest expressions in the countenances of your companions, but an overbearing stunning noise would prevent conversation, even if the agitation of any one could permit him to utter a syllable.
Although we could not remain here many minutes, we were two hours absent from the ladder which let us down. We were in a thick fine shower for a considerable distance below the falls, the wind blowing the cloud after us.
If a portion of horror be necessary to constitute the sublime, nothing seems wanting to place these falls among the sublimest objects of nature. Though descriptions of them may be attempted with various success, we are not to suppose that any of them can equal the original. My only endeavor has been to transcribe the sensations, and to note the appearance which engaged my attention when I first saw them. Z.

PARIS, AUG. 29. According to a list published by the Sinod of Russia, there died in 1800, in the thirty-two divisions of that empire, 2550 persons above 90 years of age; 216 between 90 and 100; 133 between 101 and 110; twenty-six between 110 and 119; nine aged 120; one aged 125, and two aged 130.
LONDON, SEPT. 5. The Military Establishment of the House of Austria consists at present of 360,000 men. It is said a reduction of 60,000 of these will take place this year.
SAVANNAH, Oct. 6. Count Augustus De Graffe, son to the late admiral De Graffe, who has resided in Charleston since the revolution of St. Domingo, has arrived there: after being detained on board several days by Gen. Moise, he got permission to land, and was immediately put in possession of his plantation, and as many of his negroes as could be found.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 23. EMIGRATION OF SQUIRRELS. For a week or ten days past, there has been an astonishing emigration of squirrels from the Kentucky side to this territory. So great is their number, that between this and Columbia, every day several hundreds, some days as many as 500, have been caught, and it is presumable that one has not been killed out of four that crossed. We are informed by Capt. Claiborn, who called here on his way from the cantonment at Wilkinsonville to Pittsburgh, that they have been crossing in this manner since he left camp. It is probable they come a considerable distance, as we are informed by the inhabitants of the other side, who live near the river, that they are much more numerous now, than they were during the Summer.
Many people think that this remarkable emigration indicates a hard Winter: But a correspondent observes, that to him, their moving northward indicates a very mild Winter. He thinks if they expected a severe one, they would go to the southward. It may perhaps be a prelude to some important event, but what it is, we leave to the studious observer of nature to divine.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 23. The Editors of the Washington Federalist propose in a few days to lay before the public, proof, derived from Mr. Gallatin's office, that the accounts of T. Pickering are all settled, that he never used one penny of the public money, and that there is not the least evidence or suspicion of his having misapplied the public funds.
BOSTON, Nov. 2. THE FEVER. We have seen several letters from New-York of the 25th and 26th ult. which although they do not deny the existence of a fever, uniformly assert, that the new cases, which daily occur, do not amount to more than 6 or 7, and that the deaths are still fewer in number; they further add that business has resumed its former activity, and except among a few alarmists, no apprehensions of danger are entertained.
There were six deaths at Nor-folk, in the 48 hours, ending Oct. 12th, at noon.—In the same period, ending the 14th, at noon, the deaths were five.
PORTSMOUTH, November 3. On Sunday evening Mr. Joshua Mendum of Kittery lost his dwelling house, with all his furniture, cloathing, provisions, &c. by fire, this unfortunate accident was occasioned by boiling pitch in the house, which he intended to have paved his boat with early on Monday morning; it suddenly took fire and boiled over, by which means the whole house was, as it were, in an instant, enveloped in flames, which prevented the family from saving the smallest article, except one bed. Mr. Mendum, is an honest, sober, industrious man, who acquired his property by the dint of industry, and we hope will in some measure have his loss made up.
Commercial Memorandum. At Surinam, Sept. 26, the market was stocked with every kind of provisions and merchandise.—The American vessels were daily arriving and going to other markets. Molasses, 20 stivers per gallon—British Government Bills, 20 per cent advance—Dollars, 33 1-2 adv.
FOREIGN NEWS. London Papers to Sept. 6, have been received at New-York. The latest news from Egypt states, that the French had sent out of Alexandria a number of the inhabitants.—This measure is imputed by some, to the detection of a conspiracy among the inhabitants to surrender the place to the British—by others, to the scarcity
of provisions, which induced the sending away of all useless inmates.—Dispatches dated off Brest, August 30, mentions that the Brest fleet of 35 sail of the line were riding at single anchor in the outer road. The British fleet consisted of 27 sail of the line.—The British intercourse with Portugal continues.—Lord Nelson's squadron still remained in the Downs.
Thursday the 26th of November, is appointed as the Thanksgiving Day for this season in Connecticut. Within 30 days there were sixty foreign arrivals at Baltimore.
A letter from Gibraltar, dated Aug. 15, says, an attack from the French and Spaniards is expected.—Spanish depredations on the American trade continue. Lt. Maley, who commanded the U. States schooner Experiment is a prisoner at Algeziras. The Tripolitan Admiral has offered his vessels for sale at Gibraltar, but has been unable to dispose of them. The governor has refused a supply of provisions to his vessels. A Tripolitan cruiser was in chase of an American ship, which it supposed she took.
Archibald Roane, Esq. is elected Governor of Tennessee, vice John Sevier, Esq.

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF DEACON JOHN NOBLE. THIS worthy man was born at Portsmouth, the 10 June, old style, 1735. He discharged, with diligence, the various duties of life, and, in every trust, he exhibited the most unshaken integrity. He passed through different scenes of affliction with meekness and patience. He was, from an early period, a public professor of the religion of JESUS. For twenty-four years he was an exemplary officer in the South Church. The interests of christianity seemed ever to lay near his heart. No one appeared to take more pleasure, than he, in recounting the kind interpositions of providence towards himself and others. The poor of this town, who had been, for a number of years, committed to his care, have reason to rise up and call him blessed, for the pious example he set, the good counsel he often gave, and the strict attention he paid to their various wants. In his will, he has bequeathed the income of two shares in the Piscataqua bridge to a helpless granddaughter, during her life, and forever, after her decease, to the poor of the South Church. He had been careful to settle all his worldly affairs sometime before his death.
He appeared to be perfectly resigned to his approaching dissolution, and left his dying testimony to the truth of that religion, which he had so long professed, but declined the painful task of taking a formal leave of his family. It is ever gratifying to us, when a beloved friend is taken away, that he should impart his counsel and benediction in his last moments, as a dying legacy; but, what can the conscientious and upright have to add at the hour of death? His pious example, through life, is the richest bequest he can possibly make.
The surviving comfort, children and friends have the consolation, that none can be greater, than Deacon NOBLE was a peaceable and useful citizen, a friend to his country, and a sincere christian. Although dead, yet, by his good example, he continues to speak.
Having finished his course and kept the faith, he departed this life, after a short and painful illness, on Monday, about midnight, the 19 October, 1801, in the 67 year of his age. On the Thursday following he was interred with every token of respect.
Mark the perfect man and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace. A Friend to the afflicted family.
