FEMALE TACT AND COURACE.-The
editor Of the New York Register, hay-
ling recently visited the Lunatic Asy.
lu,a at Hudson, relates the following
aDecdote: A professional gentleman
Of some distinction, Of giant size, and
|great strength, who could fell a man
with a blow, escaped from his room,
and on his way through the entry. fell
in with another gentleman, in the same
state Of mental alienation, and pro-
posed to him that they should make a
tour thrOu1h the Union together. He
said he would draw on the United
States Bank in the city Of New York
for 100000; he would draw on the
bank in Philadelphia for half that sum,
and on the branches in one or two 9TH
er cities for The same amount; and
they would obtain the necessary vehi-
cles, and make an excursion through
the United States. The proposal vas
agreed to readily, by the afflicted gen
tleman addressed, with the utmost
pleasure and confidence rs to ito exc
cstion. The keepers became alarm
ed by the determination manifested;
and on their interference with their
further progress, the allsleeic gentie-
man insisted upon il, that a positive
contract had been made in the matter,
and it could not be broken. The keep
ers knowing his strength, and aPpre-
bending that it wosld be no light affair
to grapple with it, sent Tor Dr.. White.
The lady, Who asanases the interior
department. seeing the alarming state
Of things, aud the 6so purpose Of botl,
gentlemen, to escape, walked up po-
litely to the largest one, and asked
him for his arm; to this has gall.ntry
soon yielded, and after walking OF al
little way with him, she remarked that

This took with him, and she pTopo-

Mary Campbell was the name Of

GEN. JOHN SULLIVAN.

We have never seen in print any
particular n0tice Of the early biogss
ply Of this gentleman, Who bore q
conspicuous a part in the American
Revolution. The following interest
ing account Of his early education Ne
record as worthy Of preserva6on.
He was the son Of Scotch parents,
who resided in Berwick, Maine, and ia
early life was the architect Of his own
fortune. Desir0us Of psccor,ng IN ed
ucatio0, he came to this town aud Of
5esed his services 70 . Nj. Livermore,
a Counsellor ut Law, Who resided near
the spot where the Pleasant street
church 10 now located. He offered to
tabe care Of Mr.. L's horse, splint his
wood, &c. if Me. L. would board him
and give him the privilege Of reading
his books. The bargain was conclud-
ed: John vas faithful to his trust, and
was enabled 10 spend much time in his
employers library.
One evening, however, Mr.. Liver
more returned from an excursion, and
John was not at hard to take care Of
bis horse. 1t was found on enqsiry Of
domestic, that a client had called for
Mr.. L. to manage case to be brought
belvre a justice that evening, and asl
1ss master was absent John had offered
bus services, and had actually gone off
Nth the man.
Mr.. Us curiosity was excited; and
after taking care Of his horse, slippedl
into the court without being perceiv-I
a by John. The case was managed
with such ingenuity and ability, and
% much native talent was displayed,
that after his return home Mr.. l.. ad-
dressed him: "John, my kitchen is no
place for you; follow on in your stud
les, give them your undivided atten-
ton, and you shall have whatever as
saistance you need from me until you
are in a condition to repay it," The
result il well known; that he became
cminent at the bar, and at the call of
his country he made great personal
sacrifi1e in leaving his profession to
enter the army. Here he shone ~ a
star Of the first magnitude, and will
have his name handed down to poster.
ity = the companion and confidential
friend Of the Father Of his country.-l
After the close Of the war, he was
president Of New Hampshire three
years, and afterwards district judge.

who was afterw ards governor Of Mas
