EVTERpEIAB,
Oh, Musical Mtelligencer.

A PERIODICAL paper has been
IN published in Boston since April,
1920, exclusively devoted to the diffusion
of musical information.
1t embraces general history of mu-
sic from the earliest ages, and is intend
ed to record the transactions of musical
societies--review new musical works.
furnish biographical memoirs of eminent
musical men---correspondence--anec-
dotes of music and letters instructive and
interesting upon every branch of tho
musical sciencc--improvements in mu-
steal instruments, and a compilation of
register OF musical ransactions-select
poetry that may appear calculated for
musical adaptation, &c. Sc.
With such intentions it is conceived
every topic OF interest, personal and
general, vocal and instrumental, will be
embraced. To what extent information
may be obtained in the incipient stage OF
our enterprise, we will not presume to
promise, but by a clear exposition of our
objects, we show the scope and range of
our intentions and while we entreat the
voluntary aid of those who may possess
the talents we coyet, we at the same
time engage to omit no effort of our own
to fulfil expectation, we hope however
to be indebted more to the generous con-
tributions of scientific ability than to our
own labors. We therefore conclude
with promise, that our abilities, such
as they are, shall be eXerted to their ut.
most, in the service of the public, in
the support of the profession, and in the
propagation OF all that may appear to us
to illustrate and exalt the science.

MAYORS OFFICE,
PAitadeLhhia, Nou. %, 1920.
ENRON recent discoveries and frequent in
Il formation received within the last twelve
or fifteen years, the Mayor of Philadelphia
thinks it his duty to apprize his fellow citizens
within the United States that there has been,
for at least that period, a number of Foreign
ers, of good address, but of base and deprayed
principles, who have visited Our country with
forged credentials, counterfeit recommends
tons, and spurious statements of alledged
losses. Those sons of deception have travers-
ed the country in almost every direction, ex-
hibiting their false documents for the purpose
of obtaining money for the ostensible object
of redeeming some of their near relatives from
Algerine Slavery, others to rebuild Churches
DESTROYED by fire or earthquakes, to assist
distressed Villagers whose all had been swept
away by some sad catastrophe, or TO remune-
rate for losses lately sustained by Pirates on
the Ocean. Thousands of dollars have been
collected in this way from the charitable and
humane, who little suspected that the whole
was base fabrication, got up, supported by
forgery and fraud, and the proceeds solely APP
piled to and divided amongst large gang OF
those confederated villains. From a source
that can be relied on, they have a rendezvous
in this city, from which they issue on their de-
predatory excursions, and after being absent
from three to twelve months, and sometimes
longer, they return with their spoil.
1t is believed by some persons who are &C
quainted with the system, that from six to
eighteen thousand dollars has been carried to
Europe by several of the different individuals
who have been engaged in these dishonest
schemes.
This exhibit is published in order to put the
unwary on their guard, and to caution them
| against placing any confidence in documents
that may be handed to them clothed with all
the apparent Formally of consular certificates,
seals and signatures; as well as the names OF
other highly respectable characters, as it is
fully believed, that scarcely in single instance
are they genuine or been honestly obtained.
The undersigned has just been creditably
informed, that, within shortt time past, ten
| additional recruits to the corps have arrived
at this port from Europe; and after beng
! furnished in this city with forged documents,
| (for, bye the bye, they are all, it is believed
manufactured here,) they started to the west
ward in company withtwelve or fourteen Other
men who have been engaged in the above
practice for some time past. 1t is to be hoped
that the magistrates and other civil officers
where they make their appearance, will APP.
prehend them, and if judicous measures are
adopted there is little doubt but that they soon
will disclose the whole plan.

THE SWEARER'S PRAYER ANSWER.
ED,

In the following, among muititudes Of
other instances.
In November, 1886, a person much
given to swearing, being disappointed by
one OF his companions not returning TO
the public house as soon as he expect
ed, wore he would never drink with him
again, and that If he did, it should be his
iasf Accordingly that day 7vaS his last
God took him at his word, and thus
called him into eternity.
In November, 1887, one WIS, a
smith, spending the evening at public
house, IN Leather-lane, quarrelled with
one OF his companions, and Swearing the
most horrid oaths, God struck him in
simultaneously dead with an oath on his
lips, upon the bench where he vas sit
ting. The jury who sat upon his body,
alter hearing all the circumstances of
the case, brought in their verdict, that
W-rs zoas struck dead as a Judg-
aent from God" This narration was
given by the foreman of the Jury.
Another remarkable judgment over
took person living in Brewer street,
Soho, who, curslng and swearing in the
most dreadful manner, was struck
speechless, and died the same afternoon.

I. G. who lived In the parish of
Sedgely, near Wolverhampton, having
lost considerable sum at cock6ghting,
to which practice he was notorisusly adj
dlcted, swore in most horrid manner,
that he would never fight another cock,
frequently calling upon God to damn his
soul to all eternity, it he did; and, with
dreadful imprecations wishing the devil
might fetch him, if ever he made another
bet. His resolutions, thus impiously
formed, were for while observed; but
about two years afterwards, Satan, whose
willing servant he continued to be, in
spired him with violent desire to at
tend cooking at Northampton, and
he complied with the temptation. He
there stood up, and cried 81 hold four
10 three on such cock" 6 Four what 2"
said one of his companions in iniquity
-Four shillings," replied he. Upon
which the wager was confirmed, and he
putting his hand into his pocket for the
money, instantly fell a ghastly corhse
ufon the ground. Evan. Mag.

From tie .4l5aay Statesman.
Nay, dry those tears, tho now the world,
Seems frowning, dark, and cold:
we yet may see its clouds unfurl'd
And brighter days behold, dear love,
Far brighter days behold.
Had we not hope to cheer us on,
Nor Virtues path to tread;
Then might we thisk our joys all gone,
Our life's sweet blossoms dead, dear love,
All LIES sweet blossoms dead.
And nothing to live for more on earth,
Except to curse our lot;
To hate the hour which gave us birth,
And wish the time blot, dear love,
Yes, wish ii all a blot.
Yet we've rock on which to rest,
Our love can never die,
Twill sooth the sad, the aching breast,
And sorrows fountains dry, dear love,
Pale sorrows fountain dry.
And Fancy Whispers to us, love,
Soft as a summers dream,
That dove eyed Pity dwells above,
Waiting for Heavens kind beam, dear love,
For Heavens relenting beam.
Farewell our love more warmly glows,
While tears the soft check wet
lie summer sim IT smiiipp rose.
Come, let it smiling set, dear love,
All let it smiling set!
There! take the kiss for years TO keep,
And cherish like the rose,
Planted in memory's garden deep;
In loves sweet dew its leaves to steep;
AS dearer still itgrows, dear love,
As dearer still it grows.

events which lately occurred there

directions in search of the two principal
chiefs, who conspired against the govern.
ment, Gen. Gerope and Col. Casimer, a
considerable reward having been offered tor
their heads, Meantime all who were found
guilty OF accepting Offices and receiving pay
were taken up and put on board a small

men, women and children of every descrip-

Some OF the officers were condemned to
