Our informant also assures US that at
fairs are SO situated at Fort George that
entrance could not have been obtained
for the purpose of enacting that or any
other tragedy. Nor was it believed in
the neighbourhood of Fort George, that
Morgan had ever been taken across the
river, and the whole matter was spoken
very lightly of among the inhabitants
there. At the same time Justice requires
us to admit that there is a small COIN
cidence between the above story and the
testimony Of Israel B. Hall, given on
the trial of Sheldon and others at Ca
nandaigua. 1t is stated in the story a.
bove, that an attempt was made at Fort
George to get some Of the British Of
fcers to carry Morgan down the St.
Lawrence, and put him on board of a
British vessel. Mr.. Hall testified that
that "Chesebro said Morgan was where
Miller would not get hold Of him-that he
avoided giving witness direct answers to
his questions, and witness thinks he said,
he guessed Morgan was or might be on
board British ship" There seems to be
no doubt of the fact that Morgan was ira
ced to the burying ground between Young
ston and Fort Niagara the carriage stop
ped there and all afterwards is mystery
The burying ground is on the bank of the
river, and within few hundred yards of
the fort.

JEWS IN GERMANY.

The Rev. p. Treschow, Missionary to the
jews on the Continent, after stating many
interesting and encouraging facts, makes at
the close of his Journal the following re-
marks -
"Among the many concurrent circumstan-
ces, which justify hope, that the set time is
at hand for the conversion of Israel, it is very
interesting to observe the different ways in
which the Jews themselves are cooperating
in preparing for that blessed event. There is
tendency among them to mix more with
Christians, and to conform to Christian hab-
its. Thence arises the wish of many Jewish
parents to put their children into Christian
schools, and to place Jewish students i'll sew
eral German Universities. But the most i'm
pOrtant measure from which invaluable bene-
fits may be expected,s the associations which
respectable Jews form in many cities and
towns, in Frankfort, Offenbach, Mentz, Des-
sau, Minden, SIC. to encourage the learning of
trades. Contributions are collected forpay-
ing the expenses of apprenticeship, and for
clothing and boarding the apprentices, &c.
These associations are increasing, and. their
result is already very visible. The more this
measure, combined with an improved educa-
ton, takes effect, the more readily do Chris
~"tsans, with whom the Jews come in contact,
meet them in the spirit of Christian love-
That this will continue to be, AS has been, the
case IN many instances, we may hope, under
the Divine blessing: and thus may we look to
see the totterlng buildings of Judaism fall into
ruins, while the living stones of the temple of
the New Covenant are gathered from among
Christians, Jews, Mahomedans, aud heather
nations throughout the world.

Ardent Spirits.-An estimate was late
ly made of the amount of money yearly
expended in small town in Vermont, tor
ardent spirits, and the result was that if the
other towns in the state expended as much
in proportion to their population,-which
was altogether probable, then the whole
yearly expense Of the state for intoxicating
liquors would not be less than $334,OOO
