ted to small, neat house in the neighbour
hood surrounded by the appearance of many
cOnveniences and comforts, as the dwelling
place Of one on whom the "winds If more

old age, virtuOus, intelligent, aIo happy that

lone, for the wife of his youth Of more than
four-scOre years, in almost youthful 'isor, is
his companion and sOlace. Nor are they alone

We are sorry to learn that Rev. GEORGE
Howe, to whom, some weeks since, call
was unanimously voted by the first cccIesias-
teal society in this town. inviting him to set
come their pastor, is unable from previous
| engagements to accede to their wishes. The
vote, giving Mr. Howe an invitation to become
our spiritual teacher, with a SALARY of $1,000
per annum, is full expression of the general
| degree of harmony, and love for the stated
| ordinances of the gospel which prevails in the
church and society. We confidently trust
that some able and faithful man will soon be
found, who will be willing to connect his hap
piness and usefulness with this truly valuable
and respectable branch of the church.
Gen. r. NJ. Saunders, of N. Carolina, who
several weeks since introduced resolution
into the y. S. House of Representatives, en-
quirng into the motives of Mr. Secretary Clay
in changing certain publishers of the U. S.
Laws, and which resolution has caused much
debate and contention. and not ii little waste
of that time which should have been devoted
to the benefit of the surviving officers of the
Revolutionary war, has recently challenged
the Hon. Mr. Wright, of Ohio, to answer in
personal combat for certain remarks made by
the latter gentleman, while debating tho above
mentioned resolution. Mr.. Wright treated
the scurrilous note of Mr. S. as every h"nora-
BILE and moral man should treat such con-
temptible notes-by declaring it to be g of
character that requires no answer" The com
bined opposition do indeed carry on business
with high hand; they make use of the most
abusive epthets when speaking OF the admin
istration and its friends; but If the most dis
tant allusion is made against their republican
purity, their "honour" is insu!ted, and the
insult must be washed away with blood! "A
guilty conscience needs no accuser.'
The friends of theatrical amusements, and
consequently the friends Of morality, correct
taste, and deccncy, will be gratilied to learn
that an improv ement has recently been intro
duced into one of the principal theatres in n
York, the corner stone ofwhich was laid with
great pomp by His Hon. Philip Hone, late
Mayor Of the city, and chief guardian of the
| laws and morals Of the place. This improve
| ment consists in the Introduction of certain
| French actresses, who, disCarding the formula
! of modern prudish manners, have made their
debut before an American audience in the full
character of French opera dancers! Whatev-
err may said about clooks ofhypocrisy, there is
nothing of the kind used about these g fral
sisters" there is no cOncealment suffered to
prev upon their charms mo dsguise--all is
J candor and frankness--- NAKED truth ITSELF
! exhibiting all the unadorncd simplicity of a
Grecian statue The managers, ignorant of
the degree Of 'correct moral taste" which
pervaded the audience, were fearful that the
nice notions taught at an American fire-side
would SO far prevail over more liberal views,
that degree of disgust would be excited by
the exhibition; he therefore politely minated
to Madam Hutin that "even Venus displeas-
es when she is too much exposed" the lady
however had her prejudces in favor of prime
val simplicity; and the event proved that her
audience had not been trained in theatrical
school in vain, for the iinty bachelor who pre-
sides over the Enquirer, has assured the world
that himself, and the rest of the spectators
were ready to go mad with rapture and enthu-
siasm. ave are progressing rapidly" from--
