tax off ofdogs, and to put in on Bachelors, he got
into pretty kettle of fish, and if he gets out
OF it, he will 10 much more fortunate than we antic-
ipste. Even the ''sery dogs do bark at him"-thsy
the grateful howl hallelujahs in his praise do
make hopourable mention" of their august patron
A New York paper states that when the dogs of
Hudson were informed ofthe nature of the Gene

to DO honor aud reverence in an honourable way

preseutedt to the valiant General Mcclure. member
of the Assembly from Steuben county, for his at
tempt to induce The legislature to levy a tax upon
old bachelors and relieve the dogs from a heavy
burden.
A general growl Of applause, and a simultaneous

The dogs Of our town too, have caught the fire
which animated the breasts Of their kindred Of the
west, and the ius,ort the intelligence reached them
that General Mcclure was about to relieve the ca

REV. HoRAcE HoLLEx.--The cause Of Litera-
ure in the West has of late sustained an almost ir-
reparable lo,s in the resignation Of the Reverend
Horace Holly, late President of Transylvana Uni
versty, an institution, which by his unwearIed ex-
exertions he reared from state Of comparative no.
thinsness to Il state of pre.eminence.
Doctor fIolley, in the year 1917, assumed the
presidency of Transylvnnia, and entering the
chair found the institution in most depressed and
melancholy condition. The whole number Of stu
dents did not exceed thirty, but ere year had
elapsed he had the pleasure Of finding its eata.
logue the rames Of upwards Of three hundred young
gentlemen, who had resorted to its halls to draw
from their fountains the invisorating sweets Of SCI
ence aud literature. But the popularity Of Doc.
tor IIolley was too great 10 be long lived, and he
found in those who Lad been his predecessors his
severest enemiep-men who could not bear the idea
that they had any superiors, and who looked with
an envious and malignant eye on the man who
could outstrp them in the race for popular fame.
The former President, the Revered James Blyth.
and the Reverend Robert Bishop, formerly pre-.
fessor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy unfor.
tunsely were continued in the institution, and ap-
pointed to subordinate Offices and the moment they
found themselve, reduced from their former emf
neucs, they determined on the ruin Of their more
fortunate rival.
Doctor Holley was a professor Of liberal chrise
tianity, and from the pulpit ofthe chapel he npsr
ted to The under graduates tho principles he had
imbided from the bible, and which were confirmed
by an education as liberal as his sentiments were
correct. This was enough to call forth the vo-
lence Of the wrath Of the bgotted professors, and
opening the foodgate Of scurrility and abuse. they
poured upon his head all the vengeance Of their un
princpled and unprovoked hostility they deuouno'
ed him as an infjc ts deist and an atheis., and
charged him with an attempt to pervert the morals
Of the youth and to introducs the doctrines Of Paine.
Hume. Gibbou, and yoltsire, within the walls Of
the institution. Presses were employed by them to
carry their unhsllowed designs into execution, and
even the sacred purposes Of the pulpit we're pros
,ituted to Witty the reputation Of msn, whose srea
test fault consisted in his not proPosstins 'no'e
dostrines, which teach men that the Almighty ruler
Of the Universe delights in making his creatures
miserable on earth, and in looming them 10 me
endless tormen,s of that He'll which IS beyond us.
For ten years, have these unprincipled foes to
mankind. and enemies to that pure and undefled
religion which was preached by the Holy Nazarsne,
On the Mount ofOlive', lsbo-ed in their infamocs.

"LET co o. NE HAIR."--At the southwestern
extremity of the town, there IS little dwelling
house, about SIX feet in the clsar,' as the block
makers would say, 10 which quartered whole
army ofIrshmep, from the lofty family Of O'Con-
usls down to the humber one Of the O'Bogs. Here
it is, TINT the jontilmen nightly assemble 10 pay
their devotions to st. Paric, and to put under their
jackets, certain quantities of the cratur, and to

who were stretched one day." just for nothing at

WILLIAM GIrFoRD, Esa-This gentleman
who for many years edited the Quarterly Review,
died early ia the month Of Dsce mbor, a, hi, ro,.
dence in one the provincial town. Of England.
Mr.. Clifford rose from very humble condition in
life, and after devotng many years to the profession
OF II shoemaker, turned his attention to Litera-
ture, and by his own industry became one Of the
most learned mon of the last century. His critical
writings were distinguished for their unrelentins
severity and bitterness, so much s., that he became
the terror OF almost every writer of the age. He
was man, il we are allowed to Judge from his wri.
hnss, ofsrong and incorrigibIe prejudiees jealous
Of his own fame and at all times ready to blast the
reputation OF his literary competitors.
The first performance that brought him into no.
tce was his chaste and classical translation Of the
Sutires Of Juvenal and it was probably whilst
employed on this work, that he imbibed that taste
for ridicule and sarcasm, that always marked his
writings Few men, have died who will be less
regretted and it proba be that there are as many
who will rejoice that he is dead, as there were
ever to lament that he was living.
Inc conduct OF Clifford towards a female writer
who was equally distinguished for her beauty, gen..
ius and misortunes, OF itself ion III to bias,
him in the eyes ofevery man OF principle and gall
lantry-and ought to have consigned him to the in
fanny he so justly merited. Not content with lace.
rating her writings, and holding them up to the
ridiculs Of the world, he attacked her nirmties
and attempted to make the world believe that her
misfortunes originated in crime, and that her tai
ents even if they brilliant we're not sufficiently
so, to redeem her alterations from rectitude. A
more infamous libel was never wrtten-and yet the
author oft, because he had asssiled defencele.s
woman escaped unpun;'hsd, and lived TO receive
too great portion of the worlds sdulation. But
let him rest in peace if there be any peace fo- him
in the sepulchre.

thought how little drop, o. the cratu' would 10
me no harm, an SO ye see, bought bottle or two
o. gin, and some give to the chlders, an some !

Well.I thought that Pat when he coined home.
would want little bite o. bread. an so went to
making cake or two for my dear Pat. and as I
was mixing 1.-THE gin 20 know looks white like
water, so it does, an would ys believe it, poured
it all into the cske-indsed did Pat. Well as I
was saying, put the ceke to the fire. and then

Now your honors worship, continued Pat, ant that
enough to make Pat to pull Peggy's hair! Where
upon, he gave her locks another pull, and unable
any longer to restrain our laughter we left inur-

and the last sounds that broke upon our sars were
those of Peggy, who continued to below, "Let 90

published by Professor Davies Of the U. =. Military
Academy. is work which should receive the ap.
plips. Of every friend of science in this country
II comes recommended to those no know the author
and his eue1svo requirements IN mathematical Sci
ence, hy the assurance, that while it is perfect iu lis
parts il will be made plain TO the understanding OF
evary one who peruses it. And those who have
bee' de shej with the perspIcuIy and force of his
demonsti sons, wiil receive them with pleasure in

Asa distinct branch oi the Mathematics, descrip-
