p. 3.
Christianity, then, is the basis of the
present law of Nations.
Another learned Judge has recently de-
clared, on publick and solemn occasion,
that Christianity is part Of the common
law
One of the beautiful boasts of our
municipal jurisprudence is, that Christi
anity is part of the common law, from
which it seeks the sanction Of its rights,
and by which it endeavours to regulate
its doctrines. And, Notwithstanding the
specious objection of one of our distin'
guished statesmen. the boast is as true as
it is beautiful. There has never been a
period an Wnick The common laso did ac,
recognize Christianity as lying at 1t!
foundations. Judge Story's Inaugural
Discourse, p. 20.
If Christianity is the basis of the Law
of Nations and of the common law of the
United States, it surely is not out of place
though it should be unnecessary to remind
our lawgivers and judges, that one o
the great maxims of Christianity, for the
regulation Of intercourse among men, is
that we should do to others sohateyer 40,
'oould desire thdt they, in like circumstan

Georgia, and the People of the United
States seriously reflect, whether they
should be willing to receive the same
treatment with which the Cherokees are
threatened. Would they be content to g

+" Near as | could Judge; they remained
nearly two seconds out of sight, while
stood in breathless anxiety, and NAV
add, horror, waiting the result of this fear
full encounter. Suddenly the native made
his appearance, holding up both his hands
over his head, and calling out with voice
that proclaimed the victory he had won
while underneath the waves, 'Tan-tan!
The people in the boat were all prepared :,
the rope was instantly drawn tight, and
the struggling victim. lashing the water in
his wrath, was dragged to the shore, and
despatched. When measured, his length
was found to be six feet niue inches his
girth at the greatest, three feet seven in
ches. The native who achieved this in
trepid and dexterous exploit, bore no 9TH
er marks of his filmed enemy than a, cut
on the left arm, evidently received from
coming in contact with the tail, or some
other Of the fins of the animal.
1t did not occur to ask if this was the
first shark fight in which he had been en-
gagged; but from the preparations and
ready assistance he received from his COM
panions In the boats, l should suppose
that he has more than once displayed the
same courage and dexterity which so much
astonished me. The scene was altogetb-
er one never shall forget. The neigh
bourhood Of the combatants to the shore
for they were only few yards from it
enabled me to see what have attempt
ed to describe, to the greatest advantage. ]"

orally known that the Rev. John Eliot
familiarly denominated the F" apostle Of
the Indians translated, with an infinite
deal OF labour the whole scriptures into
the language of the Indians. While en-
gagged in this labour he came to the fol-
lowing passage in Judges v. %. /" The
mother of Sisera looked out at the window
and cried through the lattice, &c. Not
knowing an Indian word or term to sig.

natives and endeavoured to describe to
them what lattice resembled. He des.
cribed it as frame work netting, wicker
or whatever occurred TO him as iIIustra-
tive, when they gave him long word of
some dozen syllables, equally barbarous
and unpronounceable as their words in
general. Eliot wrote it down and insert
ed it in the sentence. Some years after,
when he had learned the language more
correctly, we are told that he laughed
outright, when he found that the Indians
had given him the true term for eeloof {

BARON srEI1REN

Frederick William Steuben, born in
Prussia, in the Summer of 1875. was des-
tined to the career of the army. His edu-
cation was altogether military, and he en-
tered the service at favourable moment.
His intelligence his weIl-proved courage,
and his zeal in the accomplishment of his
( duties, escaped not the penetration of the
Great Frederick, who advanced him rap
idly, and attached him particularly to his
person. The young Steuben waited not
| to profit by the lessons of his illustrious
Master and to gain for himself a brilliant
reputation among the greatest Generals of
that epoch. But neither his ACQUIRED
glories, nor the favours of the greatest
King of the age, could balance in his
heart the love of liberty, From the mo-
ment that he learned that the American
Colonies, throwing off the despotism of
the Metropolis, prepared themselves to
maintain their independence by force of
arms-he determined to cross the Ocean.
and came to offer them his services de-
claring he was ambitious of no higher hon
our than that of combating as volunteer,
for the good cause, and that he would ac-
cept neither Upgrade nor pay, before hav-
ing given proofs of his devotion. This
noble, disinterested readiness, and the
services that he rendered to the American
Army, procured for him the friendship of
Washington, and the confidence of Con-
gress, by whom he was elected to the
rank of Major General. His simplicity
and his moderation, equaIed his skill and
bravery. After peace, wishing to enjoy
the benefit of that liberty, 10 the con-
quest of which he had so gloriously con-
tributed, he returned to Oneida County
to the lands which were given to. him BY
Congress, and there cultvating in solitude
his mind and his fields, he waited with
philosophy the approach of death, who
come to deprive him of existence, some

SHARK FIGHT.


The following curious account of shark
fight, by an eye witness, appears in the
Calcutta Oriental Herald, ofthe 25th of
May =
An instance Of intrepidity and dex-
terity on the part Of an up country native,
we'll worthy of being recorded, occurred
lately in this neighbourhood. | CHANGED
to be on the spot when this display oil
GOODNESS and courage took place and had
not Witnessed it, confess | should have
been sceptical in believing what, never
theless, is plain matter of fact. was
walking on the bank of the river at the
time when some up country boats were
delivering their cargoes. A considerable
number of Coolies were employed on
shore in the work, all of whom observed
running away in apparent trepidation from
the edge of the Understanding again,
as if eager. yet afraid, to approach some
object, and again returning as before. ]
found, on enquiry, that the cause of all
this perturbation was the appearance of a
large and strong looking fish swimming
close to the bank, and almost in the midst
of the boats. Knowing that alIigators
were common enough, | at first conjectur-
ed that the fish in question must be one of
those frightful animals; but recollectng
that the natives and alligators are not SO
much strangers to each other as appear
ance on this occasion indicated, has
tened to the spot to ascertain the matter
when | perceived huge monster of
shark sailing along-now near the sur
face of the water, and now sinking down
apparently in pursuit of his prey. At
this moment native on the Choppoh roof
Of one Of the boats, with a rope in his
hand, which he was slowly coiling up,
surveyed the shark S motions with look
that evidently indicated he had a serious
intention Of encountering him in his own
element. Holding the rope, ON which he
made sort of running knot, in one hand,
and stretching out the other arm, as if al
ready in the act of swimming, he stood in
an attitude truely picturesque waiting the
temperance of the shark. At about six
or eight yards from the boat, the animal
rose near the surface, when the native in.
stantly plunged into the water, short
distance from the very jaws of the mons
ter. The shark Immediately turned
round, and swan slowly towards the man,
who. in his turn, nothing daunted, stuck
out the arm that was at liberty, and APP
preached his foe. Whom within foot or
two of the shark, the native dived beneath
him, the animal going down almost at The
same instant. The bold assailant in this
most frightful contest soon reappeared on
the opposite side of the shark, swimming
fearlessly with the hand he had at liberty,
holding the rope behind his hack with the
other. The shark, which had also by
this time made his appearance, again i'm
mediately swan towards him; and while
the animal was apparently in the act OF
lifting himself over the lower part of the
natives body, that he might seize upon
his prey, the man making strong effort,
threw himself up perpendicularly, and
went down with his feet foremoa, < the
shark followed him 80 simultaneously,
that l was fully impressed with the idea
that they had gone down graphing to-
gether.

 It would be gratifying to carry thoughts forward to what will probably he our condition in the of

Discussions sometimes give rise to verr runpeas- ant unpleasant to ihe members of the body, and particularly SO to the presiding officer.

J THE undersigned having located himself IL in the city of Hartford, for the purpose of attending erclusiUely to the practice of Sur gery. has by the advice of several eminent Physicians. deemed it exprdient to establish an EYE INFIRMARY, the object of which is to render grdtuitous surgical id to ndigent per sons throughout the state, who may be afflict- ed with diseases of the eyes.
 Advice will checrfully be given to persons
 who are not prepared to submit to surgical treatment. A sum of money has been deposited by se- verdi benevolent individuals, for the purpose of supplying those patients with medicines, who apply at the Inirmary and are unable to furnish themselves. ..s .. .s n
 Institutions of this character have for many years been in operation in various parts of our own country and in Europe; and the fact that the attention of the Surgeon is constantly di- rected to the diseases of a particular organ has produced the most beneficial results.
 The subscriber has in the course of his pro- fessional studies attended the New York Eye and Ear lnfrmary, and will adopt the mode of practice pursued in that institution. The office of the Infrmary is on the west | side of Main-street, a few doors south of the Connecticut COurant office. I Days of attendance, Mondays. Wednes-
