and each nun carried in her hand light
ed torch. As they moved along, they
chanted some molodious strains, that, al
intervals, swelled upon the ear, then
gradually sunk into a soft and dying
close, like the retiring sounds Of an Eo-
lian harp: the effect was solemn, and
awfully impressive.
Near the high altar, there is small
room in which the ceremony takes place,
and narrow CRATE is the only communi-
cation between this interior apartment
and the church; behind, stand the nuns
WHO take the vel consequently they
are but partially and imperlectly seen.
The manner in which the two sisters
conducted themselves ON this important
and trying occasion, was not only calm
and serious, but even dignificd; though
some Of their intimate friends were at
the same time, extremely agItated, and
in tears.
Here the scene is indeed changed,
and the gaiety which had before prevail
ed in the convent parlor, was now sue
ceeded by more solemn and sacred feel
ings. When the young novlciates have
vowed to quit the vanites of the world,
and unite themselves TO Christ, the elder
nuns prepare them for the change they
have TO undergo. Their rich ornaments
and costly clothing, the fit habilmcnts
of a gay and sinful world, are now taken
from them, and the plain, simple dress
of nun, with rosary of beads, is sub
stituted in their place Their beautiful
ringlets are next cut off, and the head
covered with a white lawn veil. A dead
aud solemn silence ensues. A funeral
pail is thrown over them, and the death
bell tolls their departure from this world
Of care and woe. never felt half so
solemn and awful as at this moment;--
he bell "froze the genial current Of the
SOUL" and suspended for moment the
functions Of life. If all ended here, an
Of grief and sadness would
De left upon the mind; but the company
adjourn to the convent, the young nuns
come to life again, with the difference
,f dress only, to enjoy little longer the
society Of the world, and the evening
'nds with the same life, spirit, and gaiety
With which it began.-N Y Mirror.

10 IlHE EDITORS

The pressure of air on two inches, Is
considerably heavier than that of mans
breath. Suppose the weight Of air resting
on the upper card to be twelve pounds,
and that OF a mans breath TO be SIX
pounds; consequently there are SIX pounds
Of a dead weight, and the breath or lig ht-
er air forces a passage between the cards,
which causes the suction.
Take the lower card away, and the up
Der VIII Immediately fly Off The reason
IS obvious; there Is a suficiency Of air
underneath to balance that on top, where
the card lies on the quill, which / suppose
not to be the eighth of an inch. The pres
sure IS, of course, reduced in proportion,
whilst the breath is the same weight, pas
sine through the tube. Consequently, the
heavier forces the lighter weight. Make
two cards of a size till the upper blows OIL,

HORRIBLE ATROCITYl

We call the attention ofall the good peo-
pie of the Commonwealth, to the follow
ing description of most auocious trans
action. The huc and cry of the whole
country ought to be raised for the dotec-
ton of ITS abandoned perpetrator.

LANCASTER Co. VAlAprl, 1928.
A murder which, for its daring and bru-
tai character can scarce find a parallel in
the record of crime, was perpehated in
this county on the Sth instant.-On the
morning of that day, Miss b. George
left the residence of her mother to visit a
relation not far distant, "a few miles, and
about noon of the same day her lileless bO-
DIV was found, dreadfully butchered, and
bearing the evidences of the most brutal
giolat.3n. A road used as public and much
travelled. was the scene of this horrld
deed. Miss George was young labOut
lS) and handsome; of respectable parent
ace, and of the most unblemished charac-
ter. We are, in general, an orderly
people, and not much accustomed TO look
upon crime; and | can give YOU no idea of
the deep feeling which this occurrence has
produced. An innocent and unofiending
female ri0lqted and murdered, in public
road, and at MONDAY | can scarce con-
ceiye a sufficient degree of daring brutal
ity for ITS accomplishment--but 1t is so;

bility, lose any thing, having nothing TO
lose--and whom the People of Virginia
never so much as heard Of, until the last
Presidential election. He Will recollect
that these men, much noise as they have
made, have not proced one single fact
and that, wherever they have attempted It,
the evidence has done Mr.. Adams and Mr.
Clay more good than harm.
VIRGINIA. We have of late frequently
noticed the fact that Virginia was throwing
off her preiudices, and turning her atten-
ton to measures which viii eventually
bring back a portion of that wealth she has
lost through inertuess. and the dolngs OF
her politicians; whose arguments, II not eX-
hausted, do not appear to have wrought a
conviction of their truth in the minds OF a
GOOD portion of the citizens Of the state,
they having resolved TO act counter to their
dictates and avail themselves, of the adYan-
tages held forth, by turning their attention
to other pursuits than the raising Of cotton
and tobacco-seeing that their old custom
ers refuse to purchase the first at fair val
ne for labor and capital employed, and tax
| inc the latter with a duty Of 100 per cent.
We care not on what principle domestic
manufactures are presented in this country,
whether it is Massachusetts against YT-
cinia, or Virginia in rivalry Of Nlassachu-
sets: the benefits which we wish see to re-
allied viii eventually be the same; for 1t IS
not the object of the system to depress
one quarter of the union at the expense of
the other. but to make us Independent OF
the exacuons and impositiOns oftorelgners,
to place honest industry in the scale to
which it belongs, to furnish ready and nu-
merous markets for the products ofthe soil,
the mutual dependence of the whole body
polite, agricultural, manufacturing and
commercial constituting a barrier as I'M
preguable from within as without, and max
! ing the states which compose this govern
Iment, what they should truly be, united IN
patriotic feeling and interest.
The above remarks were suggested by
reading the following, which illustrates the
| fact. that. though cotton manufactures are
multiplying in Virginia, attention has been
attracted to wool, as no less important pro-
duct

Concord, april 26.-An interesting tri-
al, we understand, has just been had in
our Superior Court, sitting at Amherst,
upon the VIII of the late Mr.. Joseph No
YES. of Andover. Mr.. Noyes, in 1918,
made his will in his last sickness, giving
his three children, two sons and a daugh-
ter, inconsiderable legacies, and bequeath-
inc the sum of $4,000 TO found a school
in Andover' The school has been in OPP
Grafton several years. The heirs having
arrived at age, hive contested the validity
of the VIII, on the ground of the tesla
tors insanity at the time Of making 1t.
The trial occupied three days. The At
torney General, Mr.. Sullivan, argued the
cause to the Jury IN favor Of the VIII, and
MIR. c. II. Atherton against 1t. The
Chief Justice charged the Jury. The ju-
~ returned a verdict against the VIII.
This verdict will give to the children,
we are told, $4,000 or $1,000.
