FAYETTE.

Scarce from our ears has died away
Thy sad and farewell voice. FAYIrrRt
And tears that mosten'd eyes, hat day
Are lingering brightly in them, vet
When Ger our infant realm, the hand
VI tyrant power was darby flung.
He left his own lov'd sunny land
And nobly to our rescue sprung.
The Patriots fire lit up his eye
Though life was in its freshest bloom.
He laid Love'S rosy garland by,
And grsc'd his brow with Vaioy,s nlume
In "umes that tried mems souls" he stood
Beside our Fathers in the fight,
And stemm'd Oppression's rising ]ood.
With heart of fire and arm of might.
And when, in after life, he came
TO that blest shore his young stems press'd.
A Peoples voice, IN glad acclaim,
Hail'd him with joy-our "NArroN's GUEST >,
He stood on Vernon's haIlow'd sDot,
And bent above the grave of him.
Whose bright name. Time can never blot.
Whose glory, Age can never dim =
his thoughts were on days long gone by,
When laurels they. together, won.
And tears. that gather'd in his eve,
Fell on the tomb of Washington.
Eadeless and green as his, the wreath shall be.
That fond Peoples love shall Irvine. FArErTE.
for thee.

A BIacksmith's Shop in Mechanis Zee

A Blacksmith's Shop in Mechanid feet
was discovered to be on fire, on the night Of
the 18th inst but fortunately the fire was soon
extinguished. We understand that the prop
erty was not insured. We cannot but think
those proprietors of buildings, who do not in
sure them, guilty Of an uDjusti6able neglect.
since the means of doing it is in the power of
every one. A large proportion of village prop
erty is already insured, as also the buildings
of many Of the farmers. In consequence Of
this, and the cheap rates at which security
from losses by FIRE may be purchased by all,
a majority of the public are determined to
give no assistance to those sufferers, who neg
lect to avail themselves of this security. We
make these remarks that it may generally be
understood, that uninsured sufferers have little
to expect from individual benevolence, and
that the relief, they may receive, will be ex-
tended with sparing and unwilling hand.

SUPERSTITION

| oome wicked wag has been sporting with
the fears of the good people of New-York, by
putting report in circulation, that the city
was to be swallowed up on the 10Th inst.
Astonishing as it may appear, in this enlight.
| ened age, such prediction was sufficient to
throw the whole city into CONSERVATION and
confusion. The following account of is from
the Commercial Advertiser.
1.-The story in circulation on FRIDAY
evening was, that, two watchmen, sta.
toned in different parts of the city. ST.
multaneously saw vision of angels,
who kindly informed them that New
York is TO be swallowed up by the
great deep, on the 18th instant. During
the days following, several persons cali
ed upon the Police Magistrates to OBJ
tain the particulars, and by Tuesday
evening considerable excitement was
manifested, which increased through
the night TO such degree, that the mag
lstrates were repeatedly called up by
people of respectable appearance, for
information and advice whether thew
should fly from the city. All the efforts
of the magistrates and other officers.
however, could not allay the excitemen;
the story grew, and the panic increas-
ed. Yesterday morning the rumor was,
that three watchmen had seen the vision.
and that before the angels came along,
a man passed by them without any feet.
1t was also reported that the watchmen
were all three confined in chains in
Bridewell, for having related the vision.
Hundreds of people again thronged the
Police Office and the Keeper of the
Bridewell informs, that from two to
three hundred people have applied to
him for liberty to see the prosecuted
watchmen. In the mean time the of
ficers state, that more than one hundred
families moved out of the city yester-
day, to avoid the impending destruction.
One good old lady, in the first ward, not
wishing just yet to join her departed
other half, deposited her plate and val
uables in bank, and leaves the city to-
day. Ia the mean time, the children in
the schools have been alarmed-manv
journeymen mechanics 10 the upper
wards have precipitately left their
work, and escaped from the city. Ser
want girls are whimpering and begging
permission to leave their places, while
the black servants tremble with fear.
and the wickedest of them turn pale.
Some flee without leave, and others are
engaged in importuning their friends and
relatives to disregard the wholesome
advice of intelligent employers and fly
from the city also-although the retreat
was last evening rendered unnecessary
by an addition TO the direful tale, that
the city of New-York is not TO suffer
alone, but that the whole world is 10 be
shaken to pieces by an earthquake"
The portentous day came, and passed, and
New-York still stands unframed. 1t is said
that, amidst all the alarm and confusion which
has been occasioned, one good thing has
grown out of the report. Many people have
become diligent attenders of meetings who
had not been at one before for years.

Fire.-The city Of Charleston, 5. c.
was visited on the Gath Ill. by the most
destructive fire which has occurred
there for fifteen years. The number Of
buildings destroyed was 90 or 80. chic f.
ly wooden; loss 10000 or 10000 dol
lars, about 10000 Of which was insured
