By the Oath OF June, his disorder and weakness
having reached distressing extent, he yielded to
the entreacs OF his family and saw his physician

LAWYERS.-Seventeen young gentlemen have
been licensed TO practise law, by the Supreme
Court, in its progress through the Miami country
this summer. We do not learn that The harvest Of
litigation calls for this increase Of laborers The
profession Of the law complain as much any other
class of the community. Indeed, we believe that
there is no employment more completely overdone.
There is something like faulty in the efforts
made to obtain license TO practise law. The bust
ness of but few of the profession afford them res
pcctabIe competence. They are, taken as profess
sion, about as needy as their worst enemies could
wish them The profession itself imposes upon
those who follow it, an expense in exterior appear

ing 10 lawyers prospects, should he attempt to
unite with his legal pursuits. any thing like manual
labor. A lawyer must live by the law, or sarve by
it-or give it up altogether. Hence, we find that
those who are most urgent and ndefatigable in
search OF public offices, unsuccessful or broken
down lawyers. In this light they resemble more o
corps of mendicants, than any thing else. II is d
ficu to understand why this beggarly mode Of life
is preferred to one ofhoness labor and conscious in

CHARLES CARROLL.-Among other facts
stated by DIR. Rowan while dwelling upon the re-
matkabe coincidence of the deaths OF Adams und
Jefferson, on the very day upon which, Fifty years
ago, they affixed their signatures to the Declaration
OF Independence, was, that Mr. Carroll did not sign
that instrument until afterwards. The facts we
believe, are, that Mr.. Carroll, being Catholic, at
,he time the Declaration was made was absent upon
secret mission to the Catholics of Lower Canada ;
whom it was hoped to bring over TO the patriotic
cause He returned twenty one days after the De
claraton had been promulgated, and Immediately
enrolled his name among those OF his compatriots
Thus, though the last, he was not the reluctant
