culang the worth leave behind, so il is consoling
to think that hope points out future meeting when
oil the troubles of this world, if remembered at all,
will only serve to heighten the felicity of the next.
There is not little consolation in the reflection
that the debt of nature has not boen FASTENED by
any crime of my own; and that die, neither an
ignominious nor guilty DEATH To be shot, on Mou-
day morning, at O'Clock, would at one time have
sounded alarming in my ears, but il is only nntici-
patng the event which all expect in the course of
few years at flrhcst; and the last request which
have to make is that they will not suffer the
to oyerwhclm them, but to prepare to meet death
as calmly as I assure them is the case with me.
There is nothing in it but a departure from care
and trouble aud let them consider, leave them in
short, very short struggle, and that this at least
is better than to suffer the languishing death bed.
Farewell and again,
adobe very particular to break the tale wit b
great crcumspeciion, the keenest pang I have
yet felt, has been the fear that they will feel greater
sorrow at my death, than do myself-My last
prayer is that the Power which they supplicate for
all blessings, will sustain them in this trial. and
watch over them till we meet again. Farewell.
Your unfortunate,
but happy brother,

city OH the 23d ultinlo, to take into consideration
the expediency of erecting MoauInent to the mem.

pointed the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:

U5~THE WgArHER.-The recent cold weather
mas been more severe than any since 1884. Our
inner harbor was frozen early in February and
on the 9TH people, passed over to Forts Adams and
"oicott on the ice. The outer harbor remained
open as far uP, at least as Rose Island, and vessels
were enabled to find safe anchorage in all times.
The supplies of fire wood are all exhausted and
at this time there is stick for sale in the hands
OF the dealers Our neighbors of Tiverton would
DO well to avail themselves of the present scarcity
and high price of this article, by bringing it in by
land.

1t gives us, (says the N. Y. Star,) more than or.
dnary pleasure to inform our readers and the coun-

first instalment the Indemnity Treaty without re-
currence to the mediation, and that all our differ

inform you that the French Government is now
prepared to make the payment, on account of the
indemnify, as soon as applied for. All kinds OF

on the point about which so much anxiety was fell
on all sides, has produced the most favorable
ton in every quarter, raised the scruples of th.
Government, and determined them to inform yours
through the English Cabinet, that they are ready te
fulfil the financial as well the other clauses of the
treaty without delay. We expect to receive the

result will be received with as much JOY as it ha:
