Nepark, JuIy y.
Interesting Trtat.-On "Wednesday
morning June goth, cause OF an inter-
Court of Common Pleas of this county
1t was an action of SANDER, brought by
Miss Eunice Hall of Elizabethtown,
against Dr.. Robert Grant, of the state of
Georgia. The plaintiff had formerly
been principal of a Seminary for the in
struction fyoung ladies', and in connec-
ton with it kept boarding house. In
the year Is le, one of the pupils, Miss
Hueston, was taken ill, and at length
died. The defendant, though nonresi-
dent, occasionally visited Miss Hall, in
his professional character; and the suit
was brought for aotionab.e words said
to have been spoken by the defendant in
relation TO his treatment of the young
lady, and the incompetency of Miss Hall
as an instructress. The examination of
witnesses did not close till Monday eve
ming of last week. On Tuesday Messrs.
Halsey and Frelinghuysen, summed up
the cause on the part of the defendant !;
and Mr.. Halstcad closed lis argument
on the part Of the plaintiff. On Thurs
day afternoon the jury retired after be-
ing addressed by r. Stockton, Esq. for
about four hours in behalf ofthe plaintiff.
In about two hours afterwards the jury
returned into court with a verdict for
the plaintiff OF two hundred and fifty dol
lars. The trial occupied the Court six
days and half-and we believe no
other jury trial took place during the
term.
A trial for Islander took place the
week before last, at the Chenango Cir
cult, before Judge Van Ness. Miss d.
Morgan, VS.. Levi Sherwood and wife.
The defendants wife had called the
plaintiff thief, whereby she lost her
marriage. An attempt to justify the
charge failed. Verdict for plaintiff,
one thousand dollars.

DEATH OF DIR. WORCESTER.

In part of our last weeks paper, we
gave the melancholy intelligence that
the Rev. DR.. Worcester is no more
The news was received from Mr.. Hall
at Taloney, in letter to Mr.. Evarts.
Mr. II. had just received it in letter
from Brainard. The last letter direct
from Brainard by the same mail was da-
ted June 5, which states that the life of
DR.. w. was despaired of. Mr.. Halls
letter says, that on the morning of the
9TH he sweetly fell asleep. AS the mail
from Brainard arrives but once week,
no further particulars have been receiv-
ed. At the United Monthly Concert al
Park Street Church, last Monday eren-
ing, the meeting confined their attention
to this affective dispensation of Divine
Providence. The whole American
Church, cannot but be clothed in mourn
ing. The eminent cSlents, and entire
disinterestedness of Dr. Worcester, have
rendered him shining light to this land,
and to other lands which have hitherto
set in darkness. Boston Recorder.

By a gentleman of this county, who
returned from western tour few days
since, we have been informed Of one of
the most shocking occurrences that it
has lately fallen to our lot to record
A man near St. Clairsville who had his
smoke house robbed frequently by some
person unknown, undertook TO detect the
thief by rubbing arsenic over piece Of
bacon, and leaving it in a convenient
place. The next day whole family was
taken i'll in the ncighborhood, and the
wife and three children of the thief had
died; and all the rest, consisting of two
or three children and himself, were at
the point Of death when our informant
passed.

PROCLAMATION.

By Major General ANDREW JACKSON,
Governor ofthe Provinces ofthe Flori-
das, exercising the powers of captain
general and OF the intendant of the
Island of Cuba, overthe said Provinces,
and of the Governors of the said pro-
Winces respectively.
WHEREAS, by the treaty concluded be-
tween the United States and Spain, on
the 2ad day of February, 1919, and duly
ratified, the Provinces of the Floridas
were coded by Spain to the United States,
and the possession of the said Provinces
is now in the United States:
ind whereas, The Congress of the
United States, on the third day of March,
in the present year, did enact, that until
the end of the first session of the seven
teenth Congress, unless provisions for
the temporary government of the said
provinces be sooner made by Congress,
all the military, civil and judicial pow
ers exercised by the officers of the said
Provinces, shall be vested in such person
or persons, as the President of the Unit
ed States shall direct, for the maintaining
the inhabitants of the said territory in the
free enjoyment of their liberty, property,
and religion; and the President of the
United States has, by his commission
bearing date the tenth day of March, in
vested me with all the powers, and
charged me with the several duties ex-
ercised by the Captain General, Intendant

this my PROCLAMATION, making
known the premises, and to declare that
the government heretofore exercised over
the said Provinces under the authority of
Spain, has ceased, and that that of the
United States of America is established
over the same; taat all laws and NUM-
cipal regulations which were in existence
at the cessation of the late government
remain in full force; and all civil officers
charged with their execution, except
those whose powers have been specially
vested in me, and except also, such off,
GERS as have been entrusted with the col
rection of the revenue, are continued in
their functions, during the pleasure Of
the Governor for the time being, or until
provisions shall be otherwise made.
And l do hereby exhort and enjoin all
the inhabitants and other persons within
the said Provinces to be faithful and true
in their allegiance to the United States,
and obedient to the laws and authorities
of the same, under full assurance tina.

WHEELING, (vA.) JUNE Is.
Extract of letter from Mr.. Frederick Rapp,
to a gentleman in this place, dated
Harmony, (Indiana, May7, 1921.
Our business here goes on as usual,
in improving and converting the wilder
ness into spacious ields, meadows, vine-
yards, sc. also in erecting commodious
buildings (some of brick, some frame)
iorprivate use. You would be surprised
to see what Industry and good economy
have been able to do in the course of six
years in this place.
The times are called hard, but we
know nothing of them within ourselves !;
because we have learned 10 limit our in
clinations and make practice, as is
usual, to wear clothes of our own fabri-
cation, and principally to subsist on the
production of our fertile soil in peace
and unity"
What a lesson is this for the people of
the United States God grant that they
may speedily acquire wisdom enough TO
profit by it.
"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie ~
Let US too "wear clothes of our own
fabrication" and the cry of" hard times"
will soon cease to be heard in the land.
Much may be effected by the govern
ment if it speedily extends a protecting
hand to our manufactures, but we de-
pend more on spirit Ct patriotism that
appears to be gaining strength among the
citizens of this country. They in many
places esince an honorable pride in
wearing homespun, and see, and feel,
that it is the only way to secure our hap
piness and independence.

suited from a moSe consolatory prlnci-
pie; from one more worthy of attention.
providence struck with terror, the
consclences of men SO guilty; and the
censure ct the public, whose fate was
compromised by these articles of mis-
chief, caused the asms to fall from their
hands.
Solely employed to contend with, and
put down rebellion, the Allied forces, far
from pursuing any exclusive interests,
have arrived to the aid of the people who
e were subjagated, and the people them
selves have regarded the employment
OF those troops as support in favor of
their liberty, not as an aggression upon
thei" independence. From that momen.
the war ceased-from that moment the
states which revolution mad assailed, be-
Cane the friendly states of those Powers
which never wished any thing but their
tranquility and their prosperity.
In the midst OF these grave occurren-
ces, and in situation thus delicate, the
Allied Sovereigns, in concert with the
King of the Two Sicilies and the King
of Sardinia, have Judged it indispensa-
BILE to adopt temporary measures of pre-
caution, indicated by prudence, and call
ed for by the general good. The allied
troops whose presence was necessary for
the restoration of order, have been pla-
Ced in suitable positions, solely for the
purpose Of protecting the free exercise
OF legitimate authority, and to assist in
preparing, under this aegis, those bene-
fits which may eiface every vesIge of
such portentous misfortunes.
The justice and dislnterestedness
which have prevailed in the delibera-
tons of the Allied Monarchs, will a.
ways continue to regulate their policy
In future, as during the past, they will
prescribe to themselves the preser-
Walton OF the independence and of the
rights of each state, such as they are re-
cognized and defined by existing treaties.
The issue even of such an alarming cri-
sis, will, under the auspices of Provi-
dence become the consolidation of that
peace which the enemies of the people
attempted to destroy, and the stability of
an order of things, which will secure to
nations their repose and prosperity.
Filled with these sentiments, the Al
lied Sovereigns, in terminating the con-
ferences at Laybach, have wished to an,
nounce to the world the principle by
which they have been animated. They
are determined never TO abandon them !;
and all the friends of order will constant
ly see and 6ndin their union, sure sale
guard against the enterprises Of anarchy.
1t is for this purpose that their .Impe-
rial and Royal Majesties have ordered
their Minister'S Plenipotentiary TO sign
and publish this Declaration.

SUMMARY.

Don Joaquin d'Anduaga has been ap-
pointed by the Spanish government to
succeed Gen. Wives as minister to the
United States.
The chancellor of the exchequer in
opening the budget in the British house
of commons on the LIST of June, estimat-
ed the total expenses of the government
for the year 1921, at sixty-eight millions
two hundred and twenty-one pounds ster-
ling A high price to pay for aristonracy.
The society in London for promoting
Christian knowledge distributed within
the last year s2,l99 bibles; 1852 tes-
taments and psaIters; 85,3ol common
prayer books; 1850 other bound books 3;
S27,o44 small tracts, and others to the
amount of l76,sl6; making a total in
one year of one million two hundred for
ty-two thousand and ninety-onc.
A letter from the Havana dated June
2e, states that all Mexico is in possession
of the Patriots, except Vera Cruz, and
that it was the impression there, that,
that place would also soon be compelled
to follow the example.
Captain Parry's Journal of the expe-
dition in search of North West passage
into the Pacific ocean has made its ap-
pearance. For three centuries the mari
time world has been attempting to ex-
plore the polar regions ofthe north, with
a view Of finding such passage. This
expedition it seems has revived their
hopes, and may induce still further
prosecution of the discovery. Captain
Parry observes " ofthe existence of such
a passage, and that the outlet will be
found in Behring's srait, it is scarcely
possible, on an inspection of the map,
with the addition of our late discoveries,
and in conjunction with those of Cook
and M'Kenzie, any longer to entertain a
reasonable doubt"
A publication has lately made its ap-
pearance by James MsQueen," (Edin-
burgh, 1920 recommending to the Bril-
fish government the establishment of a
colony on the Niger, at the confluence
of the Cir on the Bahr Kulla with that
river. The author, who shows both re-
search and ability says, "a city built
there under the protecting wings Of
Great Britain, extended, enriched and
embellished by the industry Of her sons
would ere long become the capital Of
Africa; ffy millions Of heotle woulQ
be dependent nton it,"
The last advices from Greece are ia
vorable to the cause of Independence
and Liberty. Prince Ypsilanti continues
to augment his forces, and to approach
the Turkish Capita. The Jannissaries
had refused to march, unless headed by
the Grand Seignior in person. The
