Mid aowery meads and fertile fields,
Where nature in profusion yields
Her stores in corn and hay.

He plough d the soil or woodlands rang'd,
Or reapt the golden corn:
His nervous limbs braved all fatigue,
No sleepless nights, no foul intrigue
Disturb his thoughts j. tn morn.
When seated round the cheerful IRE
His wife and pratthng babes conspire
TO cheer the winters night;
Content ne then felt happier far.
a'han does the hero In the war
Who gains the sansuine tight.
Nut anxious thoughts invade his mind,
He feels with ms own want entwin'd
The wants Of others grow;
A rising family now share
HIS daily bread, and meddllng care
sits heavy on his brow.
One winter's day, when threshing corn,
Alone ne thought, within the barn,
We'll filed with cares his head.
Perplex'd and in a thoughtful mood,
Upon his fiail-shaft leaning stood,
And to hlmselfhe said:
From two--take one, and three remain,
From two--take two, and tours the gain,
And three from two leaves five;

Don Miguel was at their head that i'll the

Truiof JacoJ Hook-It has already been stated
in the papers, that Jacob Hook, rich man in
the western part of Pennsylvania, who commit
ted most bloody murder few months since,
has been tried and acquitted. His asqiit,al was
received with great amazement by the public. al.
though the anticipations of some were realized.
The New York Censor, published in Chautauqe
county, explains the matter by stating that :" the
most abonnabe corruption was exhibited at his
trial, and which reflects nothing but disgrace on
the judge and jury who tried him. As serious
confirmation ofthis, we have to state, that one OF
the iurymen, u Mr. Ira Dunn, who has heretofore
been considered respt ctable man, committed
suicide on ,the morning after the trial. He was
heard TO say, before his death, that he had been
guilty of perjury by means OF bribery, and tina,
lie might as well die as live. On being asked
how much money he had received, he replied
that he had received no more than the rest ofthe
Jury. Mr.. Dunn's wife found sum of money
which she could not tell how or where he rcceiv
ed. The deceased has left large family OF ch'l
dren. 1t is currently reported that Judge Moore
who presided at the trial, also received large
sum of money from Hook; but this, by some' Il
not believed. Hook, since his trial, appear
naughty and impudcnt We should not be sur
priced if the eifuson of blood did not stop here

Human Life estimated By Pulsation.

An ingenious author asserts, that the length
of mans life is estimated by the number
of pulsations he has strength to perform ;
thus, allowing seventy years for the common
age of man, sixty pulses in a minute for the
common, measure of pulses in temperate
person, the number of pulsations in his whole
life would amount to 2,207, $50, 900; but, if
by intemperance he forces his blood into a
more rapid motion, so as to give seventy-five
pulses in a minute, the same number of pulses
would be completed in tifty-six years ;
consequently his life would be reduced four
teen years.

the calamitous event Of the 50th of May, by which
we lost our office and all its contents, we had no
reason to hope We Should have been apie SO soo"

prospects, which had been the most hhiering III
their nature, were suddenly blasted--in one short

Kindness ofour fellow citizens. But we are now
enabled gra cfuly to acknowledge their philan-
,!ir'py, which has put it in our power to issue

illustrious parsonage is certainly most
calamitous event for all Greece, and still
more lamentable for this city, to which he
was emincntly partial, of which he became
a citizen, and of the dangers OF which he was
determined personally to partake, when Cir
cumstances should require it. His munifi-
cent donations to this community arc before
the eyes of every one, and no one among us
ever ceased or will ever cease to consider
him, with the purest and most grateful sen
timepts, our bcncfactor. Until the DISPOSE
tions of the National Government regarding
this calamitous event be known, by virtue of
the Decree ofthe Legislature, No. 314, of the
14th Oct. it is ordered /; tomorrow by sun
rise, 81 minute guns shall be fired from the
batteries, of the town, equal to the number of
years of the deceased parsonage. 2. all pub
lie Offices including all Courts of Justice,
shall be shut for the three following days.
3. All shops, except those for provisions and
medicine, shall also be kept Shut; and all
sorts of musical instruments, all dances Gus

| Existence OF Free Dfuriasic .dcid in the
| .&omacA.-The following are the proofs OF
the existence of free muriatic acid which DIR.

| The contents of a stomach having been di-

was divided into four equal parts. One of
these evaporated to dryness, burnt and ex-
amined in the usual way, gave the quantity
of muriatic acid in combination with fixed
bases. A second being previously saturated
with an alkali, was treated in similar way,
and gave the whole quantity Of muratic a.
cid in the stomach. A third carefully neu-
tralizcd with known solution of alkali, gave
the quantity of free acid. The fourth was
reserved for: amy required experiment. In
this way DIR. Proud asccrtained that the UNI
saturated muriatic acid in the stomach was
always considerable, and in one case twenty
ounces of a fluid from very deranged sto.
mach, afforded him above half drachm OF
muriatic acid of specific gravity 1. 160.
