POOR puEBrTscH.

He possessed pretty laF rePu1a''v"S and nassed as it were for a great man Dut some liend of ambition whispered in his ear. and persuaded him that the Poles were so many Turks.
 He bestrode his great war horse, and galloped over hill and dale: the Don Ouixote of the legitimate aristocracy, he bastened to subdue the rebels in eight days, and, if necessary, to hang all Poland on the same gallows. Filled with foamy ln- diynation and boosting, he arrived before Praga--and there ChlopicH welcomed him with kisses-not from his own but from the cannon's mouth and the hero ot the Balkan retreated at full speed for twenty leagues or more in order to chant the He Deum of his victory-in safety.
 And ever since he has marched in slm- liar manner, from success to success. fl- nally at Ostrolenka, he achieved his last victory. Twenty thousand Russians were left on the field of battle, with four thou sand Poles, the army of Skrzynecki retain ing it's position! The Russian General made, as usual, magniloquent report ot the conflict. but Nicholas was in sullen humour. This man, said he. must have the cholera morbus. A courier immedi- atelv left the ante te-chamber, and wrote to one of his friends, who was in the army {; "The Czar has decided that D;ebitsch Sa- balkansky shall have the cholera morbus. "
 In the mean time the Emperor pacing the apartment, confined: " No, he shall die of a violent attack of the apoplexy."
 A second courier quilted the room and wrote to the army. 1" The Czar has decided that Diebitsch shalldie ofan apoplectic at" tack"
 Poor fellow he had laughed, chatted, and tippled all day, as was his custom; he had forgotten Skrzynecki, and imagined himself as victorious as when he routed the Grand Vixer and his turbaned follow- CTS. But at night while dreaming of con- quests and honours, it seemed to him as II four strong hands were upon his throat, and a sense of suffocation which ensued, pro- duced his sudden death. The next day the friends of the two courtiers wrote to their friend the Editor of the Prussian Gazette.
 "Sir,' said the first, "the illustrious General is dead of an apoplectic attack" ;" The Editor publishes the news; but, two hours after. he received letter from the second, which said; 'Sir, the yanquisher of the Tarks has died of the cholera nor bus."
 "Diable!" ejaculated the editor, scratch ing his head, this looks a little more prob able," and he inserted the report.
 Poor Diebitsch! he died of political cholera. He died as man whom they wished to punish without having the right. Pray for his soul, and for the body of his successor. TCOasrier Et0ts Unis.

 In general it's columns will be devoted to Literature and the Arts, but not to exclude those nObler attributes of mans existence Religion and Morality.
 A passing notice of the politics of the day will be given, but at the same time it will be the view of the editdF that no angry debate or warm dispute, dragging private character into the public arena of political warfare, shall dis grace its columns.
 Polemic discussions shall at no time become a subject for its pages; but as far as we are able we shall use our endeavors in the support of undisguised and true religion. A review of new publications shall occupy conspicuous place.
 To the poetical department particular at. tention will be paid, the editor carefully exclu- ding all trash, (which, we are sorry to say, abounds in almost every publication of the kind,) will endeavor to procure such only as will meet the wishes Of judicious and an en. frightened public.
 Arrangements have been made by which we will obtain the latest foreign publications such as the New Monthly. BlackwOod's and London Magazines, the London Literary Ga zette, S1c. &c.,; immediately on the receipt of which, pieces of the same order as have ever embellished their pages, will be transfer red to its columns.
 The paper will continue to he printed in the present quarto form, and a piece selected from the latest and most fashionable Music, (arran- l ged with accompaniments for the piano forte) under the immediate and sole direction of Mr. l William, M. Pease, Professor of Music, will accompany each number.
 It will be carefully enclosed in strong wrap pers and forwarded to any part of the United States by the earliest mails. Particular at- tention will be paid to this, the necessity ol which is evident to every one, but which is 1 practispd by few. Nov. 1881.

40 FTsnters, Booksellers, and 1'"0ItsAers' JAMES CONNER,
 LNOR the greater perfection of his Stereo. -A typing Establishment, has found it neces- sary to prepare TYPE FOUNDRY; the expenses attending which, and the kind offers of his typographical brethren, have induced him to enlarge extensively upon his original plan. His letters are cut in the best style {; and the particular interest of the Printer, Pulp
 fisher. Bookseller, and Stereotype Founder, has been consulted. The following founts are offered to the public notice. viz:

 Brevier, do. Plea, two kinds,
 Bourgeois, do. English; with variety of Title-page and Fancy letter; to which such additions will continue to be made as the tastes of Printers may require. The type furnished at this foundry will give clearer impression, and fast longer, than any known since the days when the good old Scotch type was used here, which is we'll re- collected by some ofthe profsssion,on account of its remarkable durability.
 To his kind patrons who have heretofore SO literally encouraged him in Stereotyping, he begs leave to return his grateful acknowle ledg- ments, and fatters himself that he can now present greater inducements for continuance of their favors, as more nesc type gan be put upon their works than formerly could be af- forded-a saving of ten per cent made to the trade by a particular improvement in the moulds. which admits of that rate of matter to each page mcre than usual. A sufficient quantity of each kind of type continually on hand to insure against loss of time in cOmple ting orders.

To the Editor Of the Herald of the Times
SIR Our wharves being filled with
crippled and other vessels, that have put
in here for hurbor, which could not get
into their ports of destination, in consc-
quence of the late eastcrly and westerly
gales, and many of their crews being
badly frozen, and otherwise sick and ia
tigued, | should think, give occular de-
monstration to the public, that this is the
best situation along our whole extent of
sea coast, for the establishment of .Ma-
rine Hospital; our harbor being so adni-
rably situated within three miles of the
sea, that vessels from the eastward
westward and southwark, find it easy of
access during the winter months, and |
may say at all seasons, when it is i'm
possible to get into any other port
Providence River is now closed with ice,
and will probably remain so until spring,
and the roads are so obstructcd with
snow, as to be impassablc for several
days at time for the mail, which shows
how utterly useless the establishment of
a Marine Hospital would be at Provi-
dcnce, as it would be next to impossible
to convey the sick up there. Even du-
ing the summer months vessels would be
at least one day in general in getting
from here to that portland only one
days delay of medical assistance might
cause the loss of many valuable lives
1t may, however, be necessary to have a
Hospital established at both places, but
in this State, five are only to have an
appropriation made for one, think for
the above reasons, it ought to be located
here. Government has land and Islands
near this town, admirably calculated for
such purpose, or the town could appro-
pirate piece of land noar Coasters

many times, the want of good port in a

DARING ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE Town.
Last Sunday night, between 10 and
III o'clock, some vile incendiary enter
red the yard Of the premises occupied
by Mr.. Thomas G. Pitman, Jr. and set
on fire building in the rear of, but con-
nected with the dwelling house of mr.. p.
The fire was light up by placing under
the shingles match; and we think it
very probable that the shingles to which
the match was applied were besmeared
with spirits Of turpentine, or some other
combustible matter. The fire had well
taken, and was burning rapidly, when it
was fortunately discovered by some
young gentlemen who were then just re-
turning to their homes. Mr. Ptman was
Immediately aroused from his slumbers,
together with the other inmates of the
house, thirteen in number, and the fire
was happily extinguishc d before much
damage had been done. 1t remains u
matter of utter astonishmcnt to the inha-
bitants Of the town, to account for this
wicked attempt to destroy not only the
property of Mr.. Pitman, but possibly IA
great many other buildings, and perhaps
many lives. Wo earnestly hope that
suitable measures will be taken to bring
to punishment the perpetrators Of this
high h-handed outrage, Who can rest
quietly in their beds if such offences are
permitted to take place with impunity?
Would it not facilitate the discovery of
the perpetrator of this crime, if the au-
thority Of the town should offer a sulfi
cient reward to those who should make
the discoycry-and is not that such a
measure as is not only within the authori-
ty Of that government, but absolutely a
part ofits duty
