1of devising means for the protection OF
a part of the people, whereby large
proportion have been tranquilizcd and
still secured in the enjoyment of their
homes, and that without any violation OF
Justice; il must now clearly be the po-
Icy of the Legislature, to devise some
means whereby your public servants
should not bear the burden and oppres-
sion of this deprecated currency; for
those who render services 10 the govern
ment are the persons who feel its de-
structive effects and it must be her in
terest, and that of every citizen, 10 wind
up this institution as speedily as posi-
Bile, without violation of its character,
Ny total prohibition of any further is
spes, or loans whatever; and requiring
all receipts into the banks, Except such
proportion as would meet all contingent
exbensos,) TO be forwarded to the mo-
ther bank, and there forever sunk. Ii
must be obvious to most OF your body,
that some such measure should be pur-
sued, which could not in all probability
fail "a s,ahanee the value OF the paper,
aud to restore public conhdenee in The
currency. For ii is notorious, that
while the public servants are required
to take this paper at par, and pass II
for the nccessaries OF life, at less than
t7po far one, the nonresident is hlnidat
ing his debt with the State for less than
one haTof the substantial demand the
State may have against him. BY thus
sinking this paper it would reduce the
quantity in circulation, and thereby in
crease the demand, and consequently
advance its worth. And it will no
doubt be observed, that a further issue
would not increase the amount Of Sn6
stqntiqi cahAal ailoat; while ii would
involve those who might become debt
ors to the State for this paper.
The Auditor INDUCED hope, (al-
though he has been visited by an unu
sual share of ill-heatb, even u, to this
day. that he would have been enabled,
al this time, TO lay before the General
Assembly report more in detail.
However, such information as may be
in the power Of This department to give,
can at any time be commanded. He
has at all times endeayored to guard
the States interest, so far as he was au
thorized to act, with an equitable view
to the rights Of each individual concern

1t will be seen by the foregoing state
ment, that after all the current expenses
of the two preceding years are paid at
the Treasury, that a surplus Of the reve-
nue. derived from the different sources,
amounting to S33,66l IL, will remain
topay the outstanding warrants, and meet
the appropriations made during the pre-
sent session; and should they not more
than double those made at the session of
1920 and 81, the Treasury will be able
to meet the demand. And the sums due,
and which may be collected during the
two succeeding years, will remain sub
ject to the demands against the govern-
ment, as they fall due.
The probable sums remaining due
frem non-rcsidepts from 1918 to 1922,

IRON CHURCH.

The following is extracted from the Christian
Observer for April, 1925. We had not before
known that such large portions of Churches had
been built of iron.
"St. Georges Church is an object of considera-
BILE architectural interest for its taste and as having
been nearly the first cast iron church erected in the
Kingdom. The whole of the framework of the
windows, doors, pillars groins roof and pulpit, and
ornamental enrichments, are of cast iron. The
length OF the church is 10 feet; the breadth A.
1t is ornamented with splendid cast window OF
stained glass The tower. raised to the height of
20 tee and standing hill, the site Of an ancient
sea beacon, is elevated 345 feet above high water
mark, and commands one of the finest views in the
kingdom, compromising the town and shipping Of
Liverpool the estuary of the Mersey the level sur
face OF Lancashire, as far as the eye can trace the
prospect, with the craggy hills Of Wales towards
the west, and towards the northeast the distant
mountains of Cumberland and Westmoreland. The
Icontsmplative Christian, viewing so many Of our
churches thus Enthusiastically situated will be in
cIined to see in them an apt emblem Of what The
ministers of Christ themselves should ever be
guides and marks in the path to bliss p or IN
still more authoritative language, cities set upon
hill which cannot be hid.''

FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
U. S. Gazette.

few days since, poor man and his wife, who
live at short distance from Norwich, unfortunately
quarrelled. The wife, in consequence, determined
to be revenged & took the following singular course
for that purpose Shortly after the dispute, the
man went into his garden to work, and the woman
on his going out, told him it was her determination
to hang herself, which, however, he treated with
indifference. The woman accordingly dressed up
an elsy IN her own apparel and hung it by the nee X,
from bak the staircase The husband. ne
Their hearing nor seeing his wife for upwards of an
hour, recollected her threat and went into the
house The fire was out, but in consequence Of his
vile being near her confinement, he imagined she
was laid down and accordingly was going up stars
when, to his great horror, he observed, as he sun
posed, his wife hanging dead from the top of the
staircase He Immediately, in the greatest terror
ran out to call his neighbors, who came provided
with knives to cut her down the trick was discove-
red and the poor man had the pleasure Of observing
his dear spouse laughing intoIerably at his dismay
and perplexity.

Thus the whole population Of Greece, which
dares to aspire not to independence but to tolera
bic government, does not amount to fourth par,
OF what the United States contained when they
threw off the yoke Of the mother country Yet
this noble people, obliged to contend single handed
against its oppressors-sbandoned by civilized and
Christian Europeans defended itself for two years,
with degree of perseverance, and devotedness,
which reminds the classical reader of the finest
passages in its ancient history.

There arc, il must be confessed, other canal
companies in England, the stock OF which has ad
vanced but little in value, and some, the stock OF
which is below par Judgment is necessary in lay
ing out canals, well as in other things yet it is
worthy Of observation, that while few, II any, of the
different road, bridge, dock, railing, gas-light, or
insurance companies net more than 10 per cent
per annum many of the Canal Companies have
been able to treble the value Of their stock, and one
at least divides more per annum than the original

The Bourbons are race strangely devoted 10
oppression. On the occasion oil their treatment of
the Corsicans Rousseau gave it as his opinion, that
if they should hear Of free man, subslsting in the
remoiest corner OF the world they would go there,
merely for the pleasure of exterminating him.
How sublimatcd must therefore their hatred be, Of
a nation SO near to their doors as Spain?

the adjustment to the satisfaction Of all parties, of
their conflicting claims in relation to the Northwest

this adjustment will be accomplished in manner
