Ma. EprroR.-It gave me pleasure to dlscov-

Randolph's mission to Russia, that there were
some few spirits left who are not so obsequious q

others TO entertain their own ideas of the matter.
Never was there more complete abortion on

knowledoe only as he thought he could WELD

The following instance of human suffering we

fidelity of the dog:
.'One awful catastrophe has come to our know
ledge, the effect Of the inclement weather on
Friday evening, Jonathan Clayton and another
man, his cousin Whose name we have not heard)
attempted to go home, late in the evening but
that hume they were never more to see. A per-
son passing next morning between the Providence

by dog. Perceiving something unusual in the
manner of the animal, he was led to discover the
