In Northbridge, on the Goth ult. Mrs. Polly
Adams, consort of Dir. John Adams q, and
daughter Of Mr.. Benjamin Lathe, Of Grafton,
aged Al. The day previous to her death, she
was attending to the concerns of her family as
usual, surrounded by her little domestic cir
Gle, in the full fruition of all the joys conso-
nant to conjugal felicity, heightened by the
anticipation of new source of happiness from
the gift of another child. But alas how soon
our hopes fee; how soon our joys are turned
to mourning. Instead of being the living
mother of living child, TO the joy and comfort
OF an indulgent husband and two lovely daugh-
tiers, she is clasped in the arms of de ath, and
the pale corpse of a beautiful infant at her
cold bosom. Yesterday she was well, with her
prattling children around her; to-day, the
frantic rage of distress portrays the panss of
a disconsolate husband, bereaved of his bosom
friend, the companion of his youth, and the
JOY and comfort of his heart. The two daugh- !
tiers, sensible Of the loss, are inconsolable at |
the distressing scene. The sympathetic tear |
of surrounding friends witness the loss of de- !
parted worth. Mrs. Adams was an amiable |
woman, beloved and esteemed by all her &C |
quaintance. Her funeral was solemnized by |
numerous circle of people, and pathetic |
and appropriate Discourse, delivered by the |
Rev. Mr.. Wood, of Upton, from these words, |
"Jesus wept." Communicated.

KENTUCKY FOREVER!

Nsw cause Of impeaehment.-ln the Lesis-
lature of Kentucky now in session, articles OF
impeachment have been introduced against
Silas w. Robbins, one of the Judges of that
State, in which he is accused Of high crimes
and misdenleanors,'' one of which, said BY the
National Intcnigenesr to be the most important
we copy, to show the extent of political
knowledge, aud the state Of feeling on the
subject Of the charge, which prevails in that
enlightened State.
"Charge 15.-That the said Judge has dis
covered a traitorous disposition to the govern
ment of the United States of America in this :
That, during the late war between Great Brit
ain and the United States, said Judge Robbins,
then residing in Winchester, Kentucky, and
basely abandoning the duties of an American
citizen, and treacherously betraying those
principles established and consecrated by the
blood of the Revolution, did, then and there,
avow the direful necessity, and openly advo-
Gated the detestable doctrines of the Hartford
Convention"
The Legislature have evidently mistaken
their remedy. A much more summary and
efficient mode would be to try him under the
second article of the rules and regulations OF
the Army of the United States.

examination, and not mere matter Of form.
With US, young men are hurried forward at
any age, no matter how early; and, long be-
fore the mind is capable of exercising its full
strength, they are put upon subjects which
they cannot comprehend, until they are lost
and bewildered in mathematical and meta
physical speculations. The human mind, in
most cases, like the human body, must be
brought forward by degrees and, as well
might you feed the infant with meat, as to
place in the hands of the mere boy the works
of an Enfield or Stewart. But, farther-inde-
pendent of our literary institutions, would
inquire if there is sufficient encouragement
given to literary exertions? Scholars in this
country, even those who do deserve the name,
are, on leaving College, under the necessity
of having immediate recourse to professional
life for subsistence. In America no character
is so friendless, none so much in need of a pat
ron, as the mere scholar-and even Irving.

The rapid sale of $500 copies pub

the grave and acute accents.

The following remarks acre attended 10 accom-
pony the notice Of the d'ath Of Mr.. LEONARD
DowNE, in the Spy ofthe eth anst.
When the old go down to the sleep of the
grave, we mourn as for those whose appointed
course is finished, who have completed the
full measure of their days, who have ceased
to live before the period when existence be-
comes painful trial. When the young are
removed in the midst of their usefulness. when
bright hopes are withered and fair prospects
blasted, we deplore the loss as those who can
not be comforted. q
While the arrows of death are falling fast
around, the voice of private sorrow comes fire.
quently on the public ear; and too often the
tribute to departed merit seems the offering of
partial friendship. By the decease of this
gentleman, il is not exaggeration to say that
society has sustained no common loss. En-
dowed with strong and penetrating mind, a
sound and discriminating judgment, he had
cultivated the talents given him by nature
with diligence and success. Devoting himself
to the study of the law, his proficiency was
such as to justify the expectations of his future
eminence. Possessed of unbending integrity.
and of the extensive requirements Of the ripe
scholar, he might have been pillar and an
ornament of society. As many acquaintance
as he had, SO many were his friends.
But he is gone; and they can lament that
one so dear to them, and so esteemed by 9TH
ers, should have been thus untmelY removed,
Comm unGcated.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION:

choice of Electors in Louisiana, which
was the last State remaining to be heard
from. They are said to be, two for
Adams and three for Jackson: if so, the
result will probably be, for Adams "a.

There is now no doubt that Clay will
be excluded as candidate to the House.
In preceding column we have given
the return of votes actually given, so far
as they have been received.

God of the rolling year! to thee
Our choral song we raise,
And chant upon the Bonded knee
Thy glory and thy praise
Devotion's bright and sacred fame
Shall shed its halo here,
And grateful love repeat thy name,
God of the rolling year,
What though no hand of murder dooms
To death the victim now,
What though no thousand hecatombs
Are ofer'd to our vow;
What though no crimson wreaths we Irvine
With blood, still warm and wet,
To grace some high, polluted shrine,
In guilt and darkness set -
Still from the hearts warm altar, bright,
Shall purer incense rise,
And there shall shine in softer light
A holier sacrifice
And rapt devotion's sacred flame
Shall shed its halo here,
And grateful love repeat thy name,
God Of the rolling year! E.
