Of the largest traders declined making the

rested; when the pastor made enquiry as
to the cost of liquors in the place for the

DTMiNUTroN OF THE UsEsoF SPIRITS.
To show the dimiRution of he use of ardent
spirits among farmers, is remarked by the
Hartford Reviewing Committee, in their
late Report to the Agricultural Society of
Hartford, that no spirits were offered to
them during their tour, and from particular
enquiries made by them they are satisfied
that the monsrrous evil of intemperance is
doing away. They state that they could
make honorable mention of many other
farmsiilhn those they visited, where the
use ofspirituous liquors was entirely dis
pensed with.

PARENTAL AFFECTION The followingi is
extracted from the unpublished letters Of
an officer in the Mexican Navy :-"'Capt.
Dillon, commander of The Bravo, brig Of
war, had long been anxious TO return to
England, having left there his wife and
family, from whom he had received letters
of distressing import. He was resolved to
hasten ashore to Gen. Barragan, at Vera
Cruz ;-and either to obtain leave of abb
sence, or demand his discharge from the
service but at distance of more than a
mile from the shore, his boat was capsized.
Capt. Dillon was not only an expert, but a
courageous swimmer ,as also was the young
lad who generally steered his boat /; he
made directly for the shore confidently %
nougb, but Capt. Dillon had his son with
him, fine little lad, about Ten years Of
age, whom he had brought out as mid
shipman and having seized him in hi:
arms at the moment of their upseltiDg, wa'

In each year succeeding 1893, this item of appro-
pr'atlon was regularly $4,000; by adding which
to the sums given by him for the years 1921, 1925,
iS26 and 1927 you produce amounts, correspon-
ding precisely, with the sums given by me for
those years respectively, except in the year 1925,
where there would still be variance of $500

appropriations were diSbTSc{ and expended; and
Mr. Bartlett, presume will hardly deny that they
were expended by Mr.. Adams.
But, ifhc insists raising the other question,
1t Will he lound, think, contrary to his assertion,
that Mr. Adams had grcat'dea IL do with ma
KING the appropriations Tor foreign intercourse in
$50. Mr.. Adams, let it be recollec,cd was Sec
Ietary OF State at the time those appropriations
were made; and, according to the usage of the
government, 1t has become Il matter ofcourse to
make all appropriations for the expenses of foreign
intercourse, III pursuance Of estimates furnished
by the Secretary of State. Hence ia the "es.-
mate OF appropriations, proposed for the service of
the year 1928, and transmitted by the Secretary
of the treasury, to Congress on the 10th dav of
Jan of that year, is explicitly stated under the
head oil foreign Intercourse that the Secretary of
State estimates, viz - and then follows a list of
items, all OIL winch were incorporated INFO the APP
preparation law, which subsequently, passed, in the
precise language and order in which they were
enumerated and expressed, in the estimate of the
secretary OF State. This estimate may be seen

or making prisoners about 500 Turks The
rest of the Turks took possession of the forts
which command the harbor, where they still
maintained themselves, but were strictly block
AIDED by the Greeks. Iblahim was said to be
concentrating his troops at Coron and Modon,
and seemed to be desirous of quitting the coun-
try but he had not vessels enough left TO trans
port his army.
Col. Heidick says it was reported that the A
rabs and Albanians in Ibrahim's pay had left
Patras, and the Turkish inhabitants had writ
ten to Gen Church, declaring their wish to
surrender on condition that their lives and prop
erty should be secured, and promising to live
peaceably under the Greek laws The arrival
of the count Capo dIstria was impatiently ex-
pected by all the Greeks who love their country.
A letter from Mir. Gosse gives some particu-
lars of the battle at Salona. Seven armed
Turkish ships were destroyed. The action was a
warm one, the Turkish vessels being supported
by 600 Albanians on shore. The steam boat
acted to perfection. Most of the foreign officers
in the expedition were drowned. Gen. Church.
at the date of the letter was at Yostizza.

weakness to believe that this fearless asserter
OF his country's wrongs was silenced, at least
for this session; but they were mistaken. He
has risen, like the giant of Lydia, with new
vigor, determined to pursue his reforming
schemes, and to ehew that, though defeated.

This he finds lurking in disguise in the Militia
ry Academy at West Point. He has, accord
ingly, introduced a resolution for its gradual
reduction and extinction He made an Gppro-
pirate speech on the subject, but the House
seem satisfied with their former experience of
the wisdom and eloquence of Mr. Chiffon, and
with little ceremony ordered his resolution to
be laid on the table. A correspondent of the
New-York Commercial Advertiser, says =
The style of his haranguc, which was evil
IDENTIFY studied and premedtated, was absurd
beyond any thing ever heard. There is moth
ing vulgar or incorrect in pronunciation, die
ton or rhetoric, with which the speech did not
abound. His colleagues of both parties wish
him at any other place than that where he now
disgraces them and their state. You would be
amused TO see with what utter disdan gram
NAUTICAL and rhetorical rule and with what per-
feet self-complacency, the reformer harangues
the House. 1t is pity that the Reporters arc
not at liberty to publish his remarks as they arc
delivered. They far excel in magniloquenco,
