QUA PoLrCE.-By reference to our

that a daring attempt at burglary was
made on the night Of the 22d inst. One
robbery has been committed lately, and
now another attempt has been made in
our most public street, but our police fold
their arms without taking any measures
to protect. II. future, the property of our
citizens. 1t high time that they should
arouse themselves, and, at least, orga-
nize an efficient night guard.

Presidents Message.

Our limited space necessarily ex'
cludes an elaborate review of this do
cument, and we content ourselves by
noticing it very briefly.
Mr.. Van Buren, commences by say
ing that 1--WE have reason to renctO our
deVout expression Of gratitude to the
GrvER OF ALL Coop" We do not
know how he can rene,C any thing he
never commenced, for in his message
to the special Congress he forgot to
acknowledge that he owed gratitude to
any body. Perhaps the result of the
late elections, so affecting to him, has
awakened spark of dev otional feeling
he never experienced before. The
state ofour Foreign relations he repre-
sents as being favorable with all c0un-
tries except Mexico, and Judging from
the tone in which he speaks Of the diff
culties between our own and that 60
vernment, there is strong probability
of war. Mr.. Van Buren, carefully a.
voids the Texas question, desiring, un-
doubtedly, not to commit himself on
topic so intensely interesting to the
South. The sub-treasury scheme he
again recommends to the favorable con-
sideration Of Congress, but, we think
he is not unfavorable TO a return tothe
State Bank deposite plan, if the banks
resume specie payment. The plan of
reducing the price of public lands by
the graduation system, and enacting
presumption laws are well enough, but
it is too late to do any good in this Sec
ton of the Union. On the abolition
question, and the great excitement
made in the North respecting the aboli-
ton Of slavery in the District Of CO.
lumbia, Mr.. Van Buren, preserves an
ominous silence; a silence which may
be construed into virtual appreciation
ofthe conduct of the abolitionists. To
win the South. and secure its support.
Mr.. Van Buren, must be candid and
frank on such momentous matters.
mighty in interest to our section Of tho
Union. Shame. deep, burning shame.
probably prevented the President from
making any allusion in his message to
the Seminole war. Millions Of dollars
have been expended-hundreds of lives
have been sacrificed. for the purpose of
capturing few naked savages, and all,
all to no purpose. 1t is true Oseola
was taken :GLoRToUsLv" by straingen1,
but Little--B WhistIing-Thunder.
Bow-legs, Jumper, and Tige:-tail are
still in the field, hurting defiance in the
teeth Of the servile follower Of "my
,Hustrious predecessor" The message,
in short, is just such as might be ex-
pectedfrem the "Little For;" hypocrit-
ical, plausible, and unsatisfactory.

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1837-07-07

FAsnIoN-A lady lately deceased at Pa
ris, who possessed considerable wealth, caus
ed il to be inserted in her will, that she must
be buried in the fashionable costume and or
naments Of the most recent date. The ex-
ecutrix of the will was about TO carry her
deceased friends wishes into effect, and
made preparations accordingly at great ex-
pense. But fashion entirely new. happen
ed to make its appearance within two days
after the death OF the testatrix-and II hav-
ing been determined that she should not be
inferred until the fourth, difficulty occur
red, which menaced a serious lawsuit. The
execurix, lady of acknowledged taste and
refinement, insisted that the intentions or
instructions of the deceased could not be
fulfilled, unless she was decorated with a
dress and ornaments of the "most recent
date"-and that as new fashion had arts
en-, since her departure from the world, her
express desire ought to be complied with
and her funeral costume arranged according
y. On the other hand the heirs we're I'M
willing to submit to such fantastical hu-
NOR as il would double the expenses OF her
intermenl-and they considered that the in
tentions of the deceased would be complied
with if she was buried in ornaments which
were the most fashionable at the time Of her
death. The affair, 10 the great grief Of the
lawyers, was left to arbtration-and il was
finally decided that as the dress had not been
ordered for the moment OF death, but for that
of burial the corpse previous to its inter
ment should be decorated with the most
modern drapeIy and ornaments. Arrange
ments were accordingly made with all pos
sible despatch---and the instant the materials
were prepared, the corpse was dressed and
embelished, and hurried TO the grave-it
being feared as the fashions are changing
sometimes from hour 10 hour, a new fashion
would render all their labors fruitless and
incur additional expense
