Usage MISSION FAMILY.
sHAwNEETowN, (ILLIkeis9 MAY


Last Saturday, about noon, the mission
boats for the Great Usage arrived at this
place, where they stayed over the Sab
bath. One of, the sisters on board was
very sick. She was removed to place
on shore for her accommodation. But
it availed nothing, She died the follow
ing morning about O'Clock. Her fu-
neral was attended by large concourse
of people, when asermon was preached
from the words, "Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord''- it is hoped
that an impression has been left on the
minds of the people not soon to be for
gotten. The Sabbath preceding, Mrs.
Newton vas delivered of an healthy
daughter, and was herself uncommonly
comfortable, SO as hardly to realize the
necessity of care and caution in her case
until Thursday, when, having become
more unwell, she fell into a sleeping
state, from which, after several hours.
she was with great difficulty aroused.
When she fell into this state she thought
herself dying, and, unknown to us. under
stood much that was said, though she APP
Peared to be asleep, and could not speak.
When she was aroused, she insisted up
on it that she should soon die, and that
little season was only given her to con-
verse with her friends. This she inn
proved in the most composed and cheer
full manner, so long as her strength and
reason continued; leaving to us a dem
onstraton of the fact, that 6 Jesus can
make a dying bed feel soft as downy
pillows are" Her anxiety, if any she
had, seemed only to be that all should be
prepared to die. She had no anxiety

day night, and was buried on Friday, at
Mount Vernon, Indiana) when the fam
lily, at the request of sister Newton, kept
day of fasting and prayer. On Thurs
day, also, one of the boatmen, John d.
Patterson, fell overheard while the boat
was running before the wind, and was
unfortunately drowned. B. PIXLEY.

We are sorry to find that the Poor Debtors
Bill has been referred to the next session of
the General Court. 1t was to have been hop
ed that this bill would have arrested the first
and most serious attention of the Legislature,
and to have passed, in some shape or other. the
present session. Some amelioration of the
present laws is demanded by the poorer classes
of the people; and this demand must be re-
spected some time or other. Bost. Gazette.
1t should be borne in mind that Boston does
not constitute the State. However such lam
guage as that held by the GaseRe may suit the
capital, it viii not be current in the country.
The truth is, the laws are already much more
favourable to debtors than to creditors. 1t
would seem from the language of many, at the
present day, that debtors alone. have rights
and that it is unjust to restrict their right TO
set their creditors at defiance. We desire to
be informed by the humane people who are so
solicitous in behalf of poor debtors, where is
their regard for poor creditors. They seem to
forget that creditors have wives and children
dependent upon their daily earnings for sup
port, and that the measures which they so
earnestly advocate are calculated to deprive
many laborious mechanick and tradesman of
his hard earnings.
With the experience which this community
have upon the subject, we have no doubt it is
opposed to the bill lately discussed in the
Legislature and we are glad to find two Rep
resentatives from this County (Messrs. Sibley,
OF Sutton, and Taft of Uxbridge) raising their
voices against it. Its effect would unques-
tionably be greatly injurious to many among
the class Of poor debtors. They could no long,
er obtain that credit which is SO often absolute
ly essential to the comfortable subsistence of
their families, and which, under existing laws,
they are so careful not to abuse.
We have no disposition to conceal the fact
that under the present laws there are individ-
ual cases of hardship and even of oppression.
But because some individuals are unjust. will
you abolish a system which, while it coerces
the dishonest debtor, enables also the honest
poor man to obtain that credit so essential to
his comfort?
We yield to no man in commseration for the
unfortunate and distressed; but we do not be-
lieve that constant Glamour against restraints
designed for the dishonest, is any evidence Of
superiour benevolence.

WORCESTER.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 90, 1921.

The Petershans Bonnet, lately sold at Auc-
ton in New York, is likely to acquire not
little notoriety. The purchaser was Mr. Cam
breleng, recently elected member of Congress
from New-York. This gentleman had made
himself obnoxious to the manufacturing inter-
est, by writing book against the system of
domestick policy which is advocated by them.
His purchase of the Bonnet gave occasion to
the editor of the Evening Post to speak of him
as the true friend of manufactures. This re-
mark has drawn forth many comments from
the manufacturing interest, similar to those in
the article below. We copy it in order to
crafty those of our readers who may have the
curiosity to see how the elegant specimen of
female taste and skill which was so much adj
mired here, the last fall, is made auxiliary to
the cause which is so earnestly and perseyer-
ingly advocated.
From the New York Ct Patron of Ind,strq.''l
We are told that the elegant Petersham
Bonnet has been purchased by Mr.. Cambrel-
eng, the author of 6 Observations on the Tar
if, - and s'the true friend of manufactured
as his friends have taken this occasion triun-
phantly to style him.
Now if MIR. c. has given for this Bonnet no
more than it is intrinsically worth, or no more
than he or any other person would be willing
to give for a foreign one of equal excellence !;
then hope | may be permitted to inquire II it
is not rather too much to arrogate for him any
peculiar merit in this affair am satisfied.
indeed, that Mr.. C. himself would disdain
praise which could be acquired so cheaply.
But if we are to understand Gas | presume it
will be admitted that we may that the price
obtained wasa good one-that it was conside-
rably above its intrinsick valuc-that it was
given by MIR. c. for the purpose of encourage
ing the future manufacture of this article among
us--that he considers this high price as the
most etectuGI encouragement-an that, for
thus giving it, he is therefore entitled to the
praise of being the true friend'' Of manufac-
tures-then beg leave to submit it to his sa-
gacity and candour, and to the Judgment of his
friends and admirers, whether he has not, by
this act, virtually given up the whole question
at issue between him and the advocates of the
new tariff?-Whether he does not, in fact. adj
init the utter futility of his favourite opinion,
that manufactures should be left to themselves ;
And whether he has not thus put his own book
as completely into Coventry as the most ma
hcious and wicked of his adYersaries could
possibly desire:

TRIPLE RdINBCIH.

A triple rainbow was observed at Port
land in the afternoon of the l7th inst.
The primary and secondary bows ex-
hibited nothing remarkable In their ap-
pearancc, except that the several colours
were distinguishabe, being painted OIL a
very dense shower, and no distractions
intercepting the suns rays. The third
or extraordinary bow was primary, its
colors very distinguishable; its ex-
tremities were at the extremities Of the
primary, and its vortex above that OF the
secondary it consequently cut the sec
ondary IN two points. The exrdordi-
nary bow was not only so, in its exis-
tence, but also in being semi.circle,
while the sun was yet several degrees a.

seen a triple rainbow, and should there
fore, be pleased, would some person give
us the reason OF this unusual appearance.

formation that certain papers, public docu.

tor the papers, Of Sousa, but he demurred,
and procured del,y, by which means he
placed the papers in the hands Of Callsva. a
demand was then made upon the latter, 5ui
he talked of his digniy-insisted that h.

give lhem up. The result, WAS, that alter two

was sent, and Csllava in uniform, brought be
fore the Governor.-RcGusing again to give
up the papers, he with Sousa and his stewa'c
was scot off to prison. A special commi'

by THOMAS FOLEY, entitled The Cor
RESPONDENT" Presenting that he could
hardly have anticipated SO much truth
as is contained in the following extract
from his editorial address, it may be in
ferred that Mr.. Foley has heretofore had
some experience as an editor.
"There are no men in society more liable to
enemies than printers; it is an inevitable con-
sequence arising from the nature of the bust
ness, but happily those enemies are generally
found only among demagogues and the illite-
rate and meanest of society; contracted in
their ideas, vicious in their dispositions, and
envious, they hate what they cannot initiate or
affect, and seek, by circulating falsehoods, to
destroy or injure."
