Their franciscan, travelling together, came
to river. The Dominican told the other,
that as he went barefooted he was bound in
charity to carry him over-if he did not, it
would be 4 sin. The franciscan consent

they came tothe middle of the stream, the
franciscan asked him if he had any cash.
He answered, yes, two rials.' The Fran

of Lebanon, On Wednesday the 4th Instant,
came on the trial Of Christian Dochter-
man, of Millerstown, in said county, tor
the murder of his son John Dochterman, q
lad of about nineteen years of age, before
the Hon. Samuel d. Franks, and his asso-
ciate,. The jury retired about sun set, on
Thursday evening, and next morning bro't
in verdict Of murder in The second degree.
The substance of the evidence on behalf
of the Commonwealth, showed an afro
cious murder. Itappeared in evidence by
the confusions Of the prisoner, that about
the dawn Of day on the nineteenth Of May
last, he took from pile Of stove wood, in
the room where John Dochterman was
then asleep, a billet Of walnut. having a
large knob on one ofits ends, and with il
at the first blow, fractured bis skull, and
rope ated the blows 50 often that the unfor.
tuaate victim of this unprovoked cruelty,
expired Immediately. The cries of Mrs.
Dochternan, and boy Of twelve years
old, soon alarmed the inhabitants Of the
village, and led them to the horrid scene.
The mother and boy bitterly lamented The

1t is noticed, in some Of the papers, that
the Hornet is about to return TO Spain, and
some importance is attached to the fact.
That the Hornet may carry dispatches to
Mr.. Forsyth, is likely, because she brought
despacbes from him; but from the moment
of her arrival, We have heard that she was
to return very soon--so that her intended
departure proves nothing but that her des-
tination has not been changed. Ibid.

A n unusual sensihility ms been excited
"a in the minds ct Our ca,in,ryrnen by the
copper plate engraving OF the Declaration
OF Independence recently published, ac-
companicd by fac Smiles Of the signatures
OF those llusirious patriots who framed The
document by which our independence was
announced 10 the world. We feel, while
we dwell on these signatures, as il we were.
ushered lnio the Immediate presence Of
characters so exalted. and we seem for
time to participate in all the emotion which
they ie!t on the approach of so awful cri-
sls-fiost''e armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
death in its most frighllul iorrls appeared ir
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their ac-
ceptance on the other; they deliberated:
they paused. they trelnbled, and al last so:
lemniy appealing TO the God of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought To be free, sovereign and indie
pendent. These iIustrious patriots. with
five solitary exceptions. hive now MINGLED
with the common mould--they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
ton OF grateful people. Eut It would be
consolIng to the present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the Intervention Of the tomb. to become
more intimately acquainted with their re:
evolutionary benefactors. We love to dwell
on the features of such men, sn .tched by
the pencil from the Oblivion of the grave.
and emulate the prominent feats of their
biography. lmpressedwith these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, il suitable encourage
ment is given, TO publish the lives of those
patriotism numbers, until the whole is com!
ple:ed. The work will be executed in
style not inferior to any European produce
tons, and the portraits by masters of &C.
knowledged merit The biography will
be written by Paul allen. esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami-
liariiy with the privations and hardships
they had to undergo, and whose well known
talents will be sufficient to ensure the pa
trouage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares TO promise is, that he win en-!
deavor to deserve the confidence of his
countrymep, and that no exertion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance Of those gentlemen in pos
session OF authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve to illustrate the characters and to en-.
rich the biography of those founders OF the
American Republic.-Those who are in
possession Of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan of The same.
