FRoM LIBERIA. We have been favored
with a letter from DIR. Randall, Agent of the
! American Colony in Africa, received by
the United States schooner Shark, via
Pensacola. 1t is dated Jan. g. 1929, and
we regret to say, confirms the news of the
death of Rev. Lott Cary, IA colored emigrant
from Richmond, (Va.) who in the absence
of Mr.. Ashmun, and before DR.. Randall ar
rived superintendent the concerns of the
Colony,) by the accidental explosion of
gunpoWder.
Soon after DR.. RS. arrival at the Colony,
he ascertained that there was in the settle
ment a Mandingo, or Mahometan Priest,
from the interior of the country. He imme-
diately sent for him, and by the assistance
of Mr.. Gomez, highly intelligent African,
educated in Europe, was enabled to con-
verse with him, and obtain translation of
Prince Abdul Rahhaman's Tor Araman'sl
letter, who, it will be remembered, was re-
Gently emancipated in this country, to his
relative in Teemboo, capital of the Foulah
Jallow country. The Mandingo was from
| Susa, a country bordering upon Fouah jail
low. DR.. r. furnished him with a copy of
the ltt r, and promised him a handsome
reward if he would bring back an answer
from Teemboo. The following is literal
copy of the letter, as translated by Mr.. Co.
meZ:
"To Abdul Gaudilly and Mahamdo of
Foulah Jallow, Teemboo:
"This letter is sent by me, Abdul Ara
mana, to Abdul Gaudilly, to inform you that
the good people of America have redeem
ed me, and the whole of my family from sla-
very. | have therefore forwarded these
few lines by the favor of Mr.. Richard Ran
dali, and have desired him to forward it, if
possible, to my country, you. expect by
the help Of God, to visit my country again
in short time and write this to let you
know the generosity of the American coun-
try, which | shall be more able to express,
myself when have the blessing to revisit
my country. ABDUL ARAMANA."
The Prince has SINCE embarked, with
his family, at Norfolk, for the African Colo
ny, and probably before this, has reached
his native Continent
We have received the " Address of the
Freemasons Of Monroe county to the public,
ON returning their charters" adopted by a
convention Of delegates from several lodges,
held in Rochester March 18th. 1t includes
! the surrender of the following charters
in that county, viz: Welles masters lodge,
Hamilton royal arch chapter, Monroe en-
campment of Gates, the Monroe chapter
and Monroe lodge at Brockport, Henrietta
J IOHn D~1
Penfield union lodge, and Brighton lodge.
The address is written with more than usual
force and ability; though in spirit of sub
mission to the public will. Whilst it mani
tests due regard for the motives of those,
who, from honest feelings, entertain obiec-
tions and have evinced hostility to the ma
sonic institution, it justly censures the pro-
scribing and ultra coWse of those who have
perverted the question to personal, political
and selfish aims. The course pursued by
! these lodges, in surrendering their charters
and dividing or otherwise applying their
funds, will ultimately, we think, satisfy
honest anti-masons.-O4lbany Argus.
HORRIBLE. On the night of the 9th ult
the house Of Isaac Patchin of Havana, Tioga
county, IN. W with all its contents, was de.
stroyed by fire, and his wife and three chill.

first discovered the fire, and leaving hei
twin babes with their father, rushed uE
stairs to rescue her other children, who
were asleep in chamber, but returned t.
him no more. The unhappy man was found
standing in the deep snow, with no clothing
but his shirt, still clasping the little limo
cents to his bosom, and the piercing erie,
of his wife were heard after the flames haC
cut off her retreat and rendering efforts Il
extricate the sufferers unavailng. Mrs. p
was the daughter of Joseph Frost, formerl,
Of Connecticut-aged al. The eldest chill

COMMERCE BETWEEN THE UETED STATE
ANp TURKEY. Mr.. Brewer says, lin his Jour
nal recently publshed) our trade with Turke
is almost wholly confined to Smyrna, where w
have a consul and n commercial agent. Tire
or four American commercial houses are estab
J lished in that city, and our trade is becomin!
increasingly important. American vessels hav
occasionally passed the Dardanelles, and enter
cd the Black Sea under fereign coors, an
about year since our merchants were permi.
ted for the first time TO go to Constantinople
bearing their own flag. Mr.. Brewer says, " a
Constantinople have heard the cry Of Ameri
cdno from Jewish hnwkors, who were carrying
I. around the coarse american COttonS, and | ar
} informed that they have found their way int
? the heart Of A9la,'
