When in lifo's summer glow,

And scarce one flower lay low,
But clouds thy heaven have overcast,
Sinoo those bright days Of pleasure past.
Mother thy step is not so firm.
As it was won't TO be,
For secret blight and open storm

Thy hair turns grey, and can ree

And thy dark eye hath lost It's glce,

In reference to the interesting case,"' TO
which we alluded yesterday as being. under ex-
animation before the Police Magistrates, we
have now only TO add that further scrutiny
has taken place, and the additional statements
made, involve the question in some contradic-
lions. We therefore consider it due to the par
ties implicated, 10 withhold, for the present, a.
ny further disclosures We deem it, however,
pIoper to state, that the child has been COM
mitted TO the humane care Of the Commission
ers of the Almshouse, from whom it will receive
eyery attention. Further proceedings may be
had in the matter, OF which we shall take pro-
per notice.

We have information that there are thirty
nine small pox patients in the Hospital Of Ches-
ter6eld county These have not all taken the
disease; but al few of them are persons wao bad
been exposed to the infection, and as matter
of prudent precaution, were removed TO The
Hospital & inoculsled. Some OF the frst cases
are cow alescent There are also several cases
in the family OF Mr.. Francis Watkins, near TO
The Hospital; and we sorry to state, that a
sweet little boy, son Of Mr.. w. and about two
years old, has fallen victim 10 The complaint
1t is the more 10 be regretted, because this gen.
tleman's hospitality had largely contributed 10
the support Of The Indians, while they were in
that neighborhood.
We learn as late as Thursday last, that the
small pox in the county Of yHmeia had assumed
more violent aspect. One case has terminal
ed fatally. Another patient is believed to be
in considerable danger-no new cases had oc-

COMMUNICATION.

To describe square whose area shall be the
same as that Of any given circle, the following
simple method is proposed.
Draw sline through the centre Of circle
which shall extend beyond It's circumference on
either side; draw ano,her Of equal length thro'
the centre, a, RICH, angle with this. AT the
points at which these lines intersect the circle,
draw a square within it. Draw another line
through the centre Of The circle which shall pass
through the middle of the line which describes
one side of this square. Through point on
this line, which is easily established by a sim.
pie calculation, draw another line parallel 10 the
side Of the square, which shall describe the
same area interior TO The circle as il does exter-
Tor to the side Of The square, and the exterior
square so. described will contain the same area
as the circle. u s. Gnzeiie.

WICKLIFFE'S CASE.
Extract of a letter 10 the Editor, dated

LEXINGTON, 9Th March, 1929.
ga grand jury of gentlemen of high standing and
character summoned by our Jackson Sheriffs have
ported on the indictment preferred against Charles
Wckliffe, for killing Mr.. Benning-as to the LIST
count for murder true BILL and as to the second
count for manslaughter, true blr'
This is precisely what we expectations
information inauced US TO believe, as we inli-
mated last week, tina, such would be the con-
clusion Of the er parte enquiry by the grand ju-
rv.
Young Mr.. Wickliffe, as we further under
stand, failed to appear according to the siipu :
lation Of his recognizancS; having been advi-
srd BY some friends 10 absen, himself until the
exoitemen, ofthe time and place should SUBJ
side. His father who was bail for him, petit
toned the court that the rScognzapce might
be re spited, or stand without forfeiture, until
the 7th day Of the next term; declaring in his
petition, that il was his wish and firm belief,
that his son would then appear, and answer to
any charge which might be presented against
him. We do not know that there has been a
ny decision on the petition.
We have taken some pains to inquire into the
occurrence, and having, as we believe, got at
the truth, Notwithstanding some variations in
the accounts received through different chan>
nels, shall now endeetf 10 give satisfactory
account Of the case, WITHOUT stopping to en-
qure into the general Illness of publications
touching causes pending in court for in this
particular case, the publication OF mass OF
Misrepresentation will fully justify the promul-
CATION Of the truth, even il it would be impro-
per in other cases; which, by the wsy, we do
not admit.
Charles Wickl:He called at the Office Of the
Kentucky Gazette, about o'clock on Monday.
the 9th Of this month, to demand the author OF
the abusive and scurrilous pieces, which had
appeared in that paper, against his father-the
same which we copied from it last week
He found Mr.. Benning at the Office, and
made the demand. Benning prof.ssed 10 wish to
have an interview with the author Of Dentatus,
before mentioning his name; and appointed S

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 2


At the meeting he'd on Tuesday afternoon
in relation to the establishment Of an Asylum
for the Blind, and The formation OF Society
for the encou ragement of Faithful Servants, a
committee Of nine was appointed 10 ascertain
the situation, and what measures are necessary
to apply the bequest OF Mr.. Wills to the OBJ
iec,s for which it was designed.
The proceedings Of the Legislature for some
DAYS past have been devoid Of interest. The
Senate, on the 2stb, passed several resolutions
relative to The death and burial, and expressive
Of their respect for the memory Of their late
member, E S. Kelly, Esq
The supplement to the Union Canal Bill
passed third reading.
1t is again announced that the Arch street
Theatre will be opened in a short time, with a
suitable company, under the superintendence
Of Aaron Phillips Esq. and tina, eHdeavors will
be made /" to restore the legitimate drama to
its proper standing"
Preparations are being made to erect new
Church on the north side Of New street, be-
tween Third and Fourth. We believe il is Tor
a Presbyterian or German Calvanist congrega'
ton. If we mistake not, this will, when COM
pleted, make the nineteenth or twentieth house
Of public worship within about two squares Of
Fourth and Race streets.

with us only few days longer, and his depart

rank and value Of an authorship 5000 dollars;
and to supersede the present incumbent by a
Mr.. Robertson from, Virginia. There is also
rumour that il is intended to divide ;he bust,

that portion which relates 10 our domestic al

At the appointed time, o'clock, Wicklifte

"WAsHINeroN, March %, 1929
"Gentiemen,-The rumours Of to-day are
that Mr. Eaton is to vaeate the su2erinlendence
Of the War Department and be superseded by
Mr.. Woodbury., the result Of The late election
in the state Of New Hampshire being received
as evidence that the legislature Of that state
will appoint Senator OF the United ates, &c
succeed Mr.. Woodbury., who will go with the
administration !, is further said, that Mr..
Tazwell will 60 to England; that Mr.. Liv-
ingston has been offered the mission to Russia;
and that Mr. Baldwin wilt be appointed 10 The
Netherlands. MIR. Van Buren, is now in this
city, and will have TO endure his share of the
fatigue and irksomeness Of recei,ing and paci.
tying the numerous applicants who are still
lingering here 10 obtain some Of the good
things which are being scattered about.
sit is stated on the best au horiiy that the
annoyance TO which the President has been sub
jrct.d by those who come 10 solicit Tor Offices
is extreme. These Office seekers are not mere
" importunate in preferriDg their claims, but
press them in 4 manner which is the reverse
Of corteous. They in,rude upon his private
hours, and perforate the whole Of The rooms
Of his mansion TO get peep at him. One Of
the effects Of this incessaut siege, is to render
him hssil ating aud irresolule; and it is said
that important appointments have been made
very suddenly, and with scarcely time for coun-
sci with the members OF his cabinet.
"Taere is one anecdote in circulation, upon
good authority, which seems to corroborate this
impression. II is said that scarcely four and
twenty hours before il was announced in the
Telegraph that Amos Kendall was appointed
to the situation Of Fourth Auditor, DR.. Wat
kns the late incumbent bad very long and
free conversation with the Secretary Of the Na>
w to whose department that authorship is at
tached. In the course Of this conversation, the
Secretary seemed 10 take especial care to remove
from the mind Of DR.. Watkins any apprehen-
sion in relation to his removal from Office. Il is
stated that he empha,ically requested that the
Doctor would treat him, in all respects as he
had treated his predecessor; and expressed q
hope, apparently most sincere, that they should
60 on tremendously together. The result Of thi.
conveis ation was 10 free the mind OF the late
auditor from any fears on the subject; and his
surprise on being superseded so Immediately
afterwards may De readily conceived 1t i.
not to be supposed, that the Secretary inten-
tienaily deceived Dr.. Watkins. The more
probable inference is tina: ne was himself unin-
formed OF the contemplated change, and that it
was determined on without consulting him.
