DIED.

Or tie 18th of March, 1880, at the age of Ia
wears and 12 days, Mary NJ HALEY, daughter
of Mr.. Henry II. HALEY OF Fairfax county,
She had been a sufferer for many years.-But
there is reason to believe her Affections were
sancti6ed. She was fond of her ~Bible-delight-
cd in Christian conversation-and often visited
the throne of grace. She bore her sickness with
much patience, and with her last breath commit
ted her soul to Jesus.
Farewell, little SUFFER-, thy sorrows are DER,
Thy soul safely landed on Canaan's blest shore:
Behold all its glories before thee arise,
..And Join the full chorus that gladdens the
skies"

contributing to the same on the occasion of nv
introduction to the King don Miguel); and on
the reproduction of my credentials, 1 determin-
ed, there ore, with the consent of Mr.. McKen-
lie, to mix up this subject with my speech to the
throne in the manner following:
influenced by the most noble and most gen-
erous sentiments, your Majesty ardently desires
to accelerate as much az possible the measures
which tend to soften the disastrous effects of
the violence of the two political parties which fill
led so many families with desolation, concentra-
ting by those means, in your Majesty's person
the sole love of your Majesty, and consolidating
thereby your Majesty's power which so ESSENTIALLY
depends on this object"
His Majesty answered-sBe assured that I
have this much atheart, and that | shall do every
thing in my power to encourage the public mind
and to alleviate the melancholy effects Of the con-
~cussion of parties"
According to custom had forwarded a copy of
my speech to the King to his ExceIlency Count
de Santerem, as | have since sent him a copy of
the answer.
The ancient and close elation of Friendship W hich
subsisted between - and the United States,
and my personal consideration for you, Sir, have
induced me to make the present communication
to you. Receive. sir the assurance of the most
pcElcCt COnSlucrdlOn VIII WHICH L nave ule nOu-
or to be your most humble servant,
(Signed) THOMAS L. L. BRENT.
There must be some hoax, we are inclined to
believe, in the phraseology Of this circular, if any
such was ever issued. The correspondent of the
Herald observes:
sSome would have it that the American
Charge d'Affairs has the intention of making a
treaty with Miguel to supply Portugal with flour
an article now prohibited here, and of which
there Is sometimes a scarcity, as there is at this
moment. The American is not the first diplomat
ic agent who has burned his fingers in Miguel's
concerns. The Neapolitan Consul went this day
week to court, without any authorization, from
his master, to speak of a marriage, but he
was not received we'll; for Miguel knew he
had no power to treat on such a subject, and,
therefore sent him about his business. SOM state
that the King of Naples bid Miguel wait until he
was recognized by England, before he applied for
his daughter. The alarm of the Government, in
consequence of certain rumOrs circulated as news
from Brazil, has been SO great. that the Gazette
has actually published an article to deny the au-
tthenticity Of these rumOrs; although not one of
them had been published in Lisbon. There is
great anxiety on all sides to know the decision of
the Emperor, as well as the means he proposes to
use, in order to carry that intention into effect.
The Q"otiaienne also mentions an interview
between Mr.. Brent and Don Miguel, in which the
former stated that all nations looked tohis Males
ty for the Cancellation of parties; to which the
latter made a reply similar to that mentioned in
the supposed circular.

Nondescript.-A Bird, resembling in form the
crane or stork, but differing in some respects
from either, was killed about the lst inst. on the
farm of Mr.. Harrison Allison, of Fairfax county,
VA a few miles below town. He is of an en-
tire dove color; the top of the head is bald-the
flesh of a vermillion color. and stands three feet
HIGH. S~portsmen and others, who have seen
him, consider him a native of a foreign cline
and suppose that he escaped from a vessel at sea,
as his plumage and poverty exhibited evident
marks of long confinement. The Bird is re.
