since the mansion was struck by light

on these it passed over the whole

beautiful prospects, and our thoughts,
as they follow each other in their uu-
marshalIed array, carry us beyond the
petty Interests of a worId-spent day, and
the beholder realizes all the certainty

BUFFALO, JULY 10.

Israel Thayer, sen. the father of the
three young men, who were executed
on the 18th ult. in this village, received
bis trial on the original Indictment for
the murder of Love, at the Circuit Court
held in this village, last week. A great
number of witnesses were brought for
ward, by which many facts and circum-
stances were detailed, all Of which did
not go in the least to criminate this IN
fortunate old man. 1t would seem that
public opinion has been much against
him, on account, probably, of the ac-
knowledged guilt of his sons but that
heart must be hard indeed, which can
hereafter harbour any malignity or hos
tile feelings towards this son of misfor-
tune and misery. We are glad that the
trial has terminated thus favourably for
him and the public, and sincerely hope
that he may hereafter live and die in
peace.--Suffice it 10 say, he was tried
and acquitted.

have already published Of tee checks
met with by Ibrahim Pacha, and the
Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The fol-
lowing letter, although not Of quite so
late date as letters already published
from Zante, contains information de-
serving Of notice, and wears the appear
ance of authenticity. The statement
that Ulysses, after being abandoned by
his troops, had given himself up TO the
Greek government, is confirmed in an
article from Hydra.
CORFU, MAY 12.
A barque, which left Nauplia FIVE
days since, brings the following intorma-
ton Ulysses, who has never placed
his wife and mother as hostages in the
hands of the Turks, as announced in the
Oriental Spectator and Austrian Observ-
er, has just surrendered himself into the
hands Of the HeIlenian government
This artful and courageous chieftain
had revolted against the authorities with
the expectation of acquiring for himself
the supreme authority of Attica, Beotia,
and Phocis, but, abandoned by all his
soldiers, and too we'll informed to be
ignorant of the fate which awaited him
if he sought shelter among the Mahom-
etans, he followed the example which
CoIocotroni had set him. This event
may be regarded as the conclusion of the
political troubles of Greece, which had
been excited by the influence of foreign
agents.
AT this moment il is certain that Ibra-
him Pacha is ruined, if he has not sue
ceeded in re-cmbarking. The people
have risen in a body, a new energy ami
mated them, and the campaign of 1926
will be as memorable as that Of 1929.
The Hellenian Government has well
coined with the liyeliest sentiments OF
gratitude, the arrival of General Roche,
who was sent by the Greek Committee
of Paris, among whom are the Chate au-
brands, the Ternaux, the Fiizjameses,
and other illustrious personages. He i'm
mediately took the direction toward Pa
tras, and it is probable that he will be
employed in the final reduction of that
place.

clinrng exhausted, but the moment he
found II falling, he exered his remain
ing strength, aud gained another tree,

brought TO the ground, and forced 10

very thickly round and discharged spears
and other missiles against him. The
first spear, made of very strong sup
pie sort of wood, which would have re-
sisted the strength of the strongest man,
was broken by him like carrot, and
had he not been at this time almost in
dying state, it was feared that he
would have severed the heads of some
of the party with equal ease. He fell

flicted by the peasantry. The animal

lance from the place where he was kill

up TO the knees. The hands and feet
Of the animal had great analogy TO hui
man hands and feet, only that the
thumbs were smaller in proportion, and
situated nearer the wrist joint than the
thumbs of human beings generally are.
His body was well proportioned; he
had fine broad expanded chest and
narrow waist. His legs, however, were
rather short, and his arms very long,
though both possessed sinew and muscle
as left no doubt of their power and
strength. His head was well proper
toned with his body the nose was
prominent; the eyes large, and the
mouth larger than the mouth in man.
His chin was fringed from the extremi-
ty of one ear to the other with shaggy
beard. curling luxuriantly on each side,
and forming altogether an ornamental,

The height mentioned is mereesti-

TO be added to the five feet ten inIhes,
in order to approximate his real stat
ure, which would make seven feet six
inches and half; but allowing the six
inches and half for the shortening that
would result from the folding of the
skin over the shoulders, the height
would then be full eight feet. This il
the greatest ascertained height of any
tail-less monkey on record.

Extraordinary Muaifcence

GIsTdoTdah0ry IEantFCenCe.
A paragraph has lately gone the
round of the papers, announcing that
gentleman of Virginia had emancipated
upzUards Of eighty slaves, and chartered a
vessel TO send them at his own expense
to Hayti.
The gentleman who has thus distin-
guished himself is Mr.. DAVID M1NGE, of
Charles City County. Capt. Russell in
forms, that there were put on board the
Hannah and Elizabeth, eighty-seven
coloured people of different ages, from
three months to forty years, being all
the slaves which Mr.. III. owned, except
two old men, whom he had likewise
manumtted, but they being past SER
vice, he retains and supports them.
The value of these negroes, at the pric-
es now going, might be estimated at
about tUenty-sir thousand dollars and
Mr.. Minge expended previous to their
embaTkation about 200 dollars in pur-
chasing pIoughs, hoes, iron and other
articles of husbandry for them, besides
providing them with several suits of
clothes to each, provisions, groceries,
cooking utensils. and every thing which
ne supposed that they might require
for their comfort during the passage,
and for their use after their arrival out.
He also paid 81 900 for the charter
of the vessel.
But Mr.. Minge's munifcence does
not end here.-On the bank of the riv-
err, as they were about to go on board,
he had peck Of dollars, brought down,
and calling them all around him under a
tree, distributed the hoard among the m
in such sums and under such regulations
that each individual did, or would, re-
ceive seven dollars. By this provision,
Mr.. NJ. calculated that his emigrants
would be enabled TO commence the cul
tivalion Of the soil Immediately after
their arrival, without being dependent
on President Boyer for any favor what
!, ever, unless the permission to improve
: the government lands might be so con.
/, sidered.
Mr.. Minge is about "a or 25 years o.
age, unmarried, and unincumbered il
every respect; possesses an ample for
tune, and has received the benefits Of
a collegiate education at Harvard Uni
, versity.

last, was passing the bridge at Windsor,

a GREAT DAYS HUNT.-Mr. Mitchell, the re-
preventative elect from this Congressional district
for the sake Of rccreatiOu set out hunting ex-
curson, the 9th instant. On the north side of
the Beilcfontc and Phiipsburg turnpike road about
% miles from this place, he routed large buck,
which he fred at and wounded i'll the shoulder.
The buck ran off, and he pursued for some dis
lance, when he perceived the animal about forty
yards ahead of him, lying the ground upon hts
back, and an uncommonly large panther having
him by the throat. Mir Mitchell Immediately le-
yelled his rifle, and shot the panther through the
heart. The beast let e its bold Of the buck, and
made several leaps towards Mr.. Mitchell, aud fell
liieless.
Mr.. Mitchell then charged mis- gym, believing the
pa nther which Inc had shot DC dead and cast his
eyes towards the wounded buck, which remained iu
the position, when, to his great astonishment
he observed another large female panther, having
hold of the buck by the neck, the opposite side
from Mr.. Mitchell. lie levclled his gun at the
head OF the animal, and the ball entered her right
eye. An awful silence prevailed for some minutes,
when the panther surrendered her claims to the
Duck, considering it vain attempt to contend with
so powerful an Antagonist as a congressman, aud
was about 20 retire in modest aud respectful
ner before her superior; but Mr.. Mitchell thought
proper TO dessib her for further examination, which
he did by shooting her through the body several
times.
In the interim the buck thought proper to absent
himself from ihe sreus Of action, considering that
