MONIICELLO, NOV. Is, 1913.
The public papers, my dear friend
announce the fatal event of which your
letter, of Oct. 29lh, had given me omin-
Gus forebodngs. Tried myself in the
school of affection, by the loss of every
form OF connexion which can rive the
human heart, know well and feel
what You have lost, what you have suf-
fered- suffering, and haze yet to ne
dure. The same trials have taught
me that, for ills so unmeasurable, time
and silence are the only medicines.
will not therefore, by useless coincidence
open afresh the sInices of yonr grief,
nor, although mingling sincerely my
tears with yours, will say word more,
where words are vain; but that il is of
some comfort 10 US both, that the term
is not very distant, when we are to de-
post, in The same cerement, our sorrows
and our suffering bodies; and 10 ascend
IN essence, 10 an ecstaIic meeting with
the friends we have loved and lost, and
whom we shall still love and never lose
again. God bless you and support YOU
under your heavy affection.

We have just seen exposed on the gate of
the Seraglio 900 heads brought from VassiIa-
di, Anitolico, and Poros. Among these sad
ruins, thus exhibited to the view Of the Chris

their long hair and venerable boards, the
heads Of thirty Priests, and other religious;
and also about 600 of women, known by their
long tresses, besides few of children. The
sultan who ordered the threats of 60 less than
25OO Christians TO be cut at Chias, has sent
orders to lbrahim Pacha to give no quarters 10

nam was veteran of the revolution, an
inhabitant Of Marietta, one of the first
purchasers and settlers in the country.
He had moved here, when il was one
compact and boundless forest, vocal only
with the cry of owls, the growl of bears,
and the death-song Of the savages. He
had seen that forest fall under the axe,
had seen commodious, and, alter that,
splendid dwellings rise around him. He
had seen the settlement sustained an in
undation, which waited away the dwell
ings, and in some instances the inhabi-
tants in them. The cattle aud all the
Improvements OF cultivation were swept
away. He had seen the country suffer
all the accumulated horrors of an Indian
war. He had seen its exhaustless fer.
tility and IFS natural advantages triumph
over all. He had seen Marietta make
advances towards acquaiuting itself with
the gulf of Mexico, by floating off from
its banks number of vessels built
there. He had seen the prodigious in.
vention of steamboats, experimental on
the Ohio, and heard their first thunder,
as they swept by his dwelling. He had
survived to see them become so cam.
mon, as 10 be no more objects of curios

boats, laden for New. Orleans, pass b,
in the compass of IA few hours. He ha,

regions, the grandeur, real and intrinsic
of those immortal men, who achieved
our revolution. OF these great men

Ne70 Canal Lock Isaac A. Chapman
Esq. of Wilkesbarre, Penn. has invent
ed, and exhibited in that borough, q
canal lock upon an entirely new con.
struciion. 1t is so constructed that, by
means of it, boat may pass up anC
down from one level TO another without
any expenditure of water. A movable
box is made TO rise and fall in the lock
by means Of water admitted into i
through SyphoD, and this water il
returned again by the Syphon into the
urfer level of the canal. AS the box
or movable lock, rises in the perma
nent lock, the boat falls; and as tn,
lock falls the boat rises. Mr.. Chapman
calls it " The SyphOn Lock-" and there
appears to be no doubt in the minds o
those who have seen its operation, tina
canal provided with locks would re
quire but little more water than woult
be sufficient to supply leakage, soak
age, and evaporation.
