INSTALLA ALTON.

The Rev. A. II. DUMoST, late OF
Bordentown, n. J. having accepted the
unanimous call of the United Congrega-
tional Church and Society Of this place
to become their Pastor, will be installed
in the Church in Clarke street, or Thurs
day next, nt 1OA. NJ. We are gratliied
to add, that from the high reputation OF
Mr. Dumont as popular preacher and
enlightened divine, il is believed that the
prosperity Of this nncicnt and respectable
communion will be greatly advanced by
his induction as tlreir Pastor. A new
Church for the accommodation OF his
hearers is to be commenced Immediately
we understand, in a very eligible sItua-
tion, at the junction of Pelham and Spring
street, on the lot late the property Of Col
George Gibbs, deceased.
In the laudablc work Of promoting
sound picty and in elcvating and purify
ing the morals Of the community, we wish
the Pastor and his Society every posi-
bic success.

PIERroHT, after writing mt some length
on the mutability of human affairs, thus
cloqnently concludes:
"Ir. then, the beauties Of the year nrc
so fading, and its b"untles so soon per-
ish; If the loveliest scenes of nature lose
their power TO charm, and few rcvolv-
ing years break the spell that binds us TO
whom we love hest; if the very figure Of
the earth is changed by its own convul-
sions; ifthe forms of human government,
and the monuments Of human power and
skill cannot endnrc;-if even the rci.
gions which predorniatc in one age, are
exploded in another; if nothing on the
earth or beneath the waters under tho
EARTH preserves its shape unchanged,
what is there which remains forever the
same? What is there over which an-
tumnal winds and wintry fros's have n"
power? What that does not pass away
while we are contending with wayward
fortune, or struggling with calamity?-
" hat that is proof against the fluctua-
tons Of human opinion, and the might ct
the oceans waves, and the convusons
by which mountains are heaved up from
the abyss, or are thrown from their deep
foundations:
1t is the Con by whom these mighty
works arc done by whose hand this
great world was first moulded and has
ever since been fashioned according to
Ills will. Hast thou not heard that the
everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator
Of the ends Of the earth, lainteth not,
neither is wcary:"

A SHOWER BATn.-Four gentlemen,
captains of vessels, who were taking a
stroll up Chatham street on "Wednesday
evening, were attracted by the music of
Swiss girl, who was playing on vio-
lin on the corner Of Mulberry street.
The tune she was playing being rather
interesting, they stopped for few min
utcs to listen, and during this time n
window of the house in front of which
they were standing, was opened, and
some gallons of liquid, not smelling
quite as sweet as rosc-watcr, were
thrown upon them, drenching them from
head to foot, and leaving them in most
pitiable plight. Yesterday morning, the
gentlemen came to the police Office, and
made an affidavit ofthc facts, upon which
the whole family residing in the house,
were sabp1ned TO appear before the
magistrate, and the name Of the person
who committed the joni act was elected,
and he was held TO bail in the sum Of
$1,000, to answer the charge before the
Court of Sessions. ". Y. Standard Of

Snow IN AucusT.-We are informed,
says the LitchfeId, CT. Enquirer, by n
gentleman from Salisbury, that The
ground was literally whitened by the
snow which fell on Thursday afternoon
last, on Mount Riga and its ncighbor-
hood, in that town. Snow was observ-
cd in some parts Of Goshen and Win
chester during the same aite rnoon. In
this town, the wind about two o'clock
wheeled suddenly round to the north
west, and the weather for few hours
became very cold. There were irosts
on the low-lands two or three nights last
weck-in some places sufficient to IN
jure the corn.
The Ncw-Yorl Gazette relates the
following anecdote, and vouches for the
truth of it:-"A servant woman, near
our Office, was employed to do the cook
ing for family. When the hour for
dining arrived, The landlady inquired
whether dinner was ready. mo man,

sively engaged in business in this city.

have the universal name Of Smith. One

all the appearance of gentlemen, though
on investigation it appears that some OF
them at least are old rogues. The mo-
ney was equally divided among the gang,
being about $4,000 each, and the pro-
missory notes burned. Most of the mo-
ney has been spent, and will not all Of it
by a good deal be recovered.

TIE PRESIDENCY.

Perhaps more is said in Virginia con-
cerning the next presidency ot the Uni

states-and meetings have been held IN
several counties at which Beyamin nat
kins Leigh, has been nominated for that
hirh ofliae. We do not venture to pre-
dict fhe restlt-but it seems to us that
Virginia, true To her old practices, will
not support any candidate for that office
whose location is north Of "Mason and
Dixon's line"
A great deal however is said in some
OF the northern papers in favor OF ma
tionaI convention to nominate the dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency, and
thus bring the "screws" of party dIscl
pline into full operation. This is reject
ed by Others, rs project to cast the no
minaton in favor Of MIR pan buren,
There is n pretty strong interest making
in support Of fudge Ne Lean, and some
in favor of General Cass. There is
much speculation whether Mr. Clay will,
or will not, be again offered. Mr. Veb-
sie,. has also been named, and many arc
ready to support him. There is not
much now said about Judge Barbour,
though, for n time, it seemed as II the
people Of Virginia were willing to take
him up 1t does not, at present, appear
probable that Mr. Caitoun will be a cam
didatc.

the way that they appear to us, and as
matters of information. We think It IS
much too soon to move in this important
matter There are great things yet 10
be settled; and the selection, by me peo-
ple, may be made under excitcments and
feelings which do not, at present, exist;
and, in any event, VIC hope that fhe
whole affair win be kept out Of the hands
Of the politicians, and the choice he
made with reference only TO the estab-
