tions OF the public land; and previous to entry
or to purchase, mus! make and file with the
Register and Receiver Of the land district an
affidavit that the lands are sought to be pur-
chased for his own use, and not in trust for
another, nor for sale or speculation; aud that
he has made no contract written or verbal, to
sell, lease, mortgage, or otherwise cucumber
the land, or any part Of it; that he is at least
twenty years Of age, and has not pre-.
viously purchased or entered under this act,
any public land which together with what he
now buys, would exceed two sections. He
must then pay the money, whcreupon he gets
a receipt for it from the receiver, with the
consent of Register endorsed on il.

the register or receiver, by the oaths of two
competent and disinterested witnesses, that

fails in this proof he forfeits the purchase
money. If he dies within the FIVE years, and
his death shall be proved within six years
from the date Of the receipt, the patent is still
TO issue. Any sale, lease, or mortgage. or
contract for sale, &c. before the patent, is
void.

ANECDOTE.

DR.. Cooper, who was man of accomplish
ed manners, and fond of society, was able, BY
the aid Of his fine talents, to dispense with
some of the severe study that others engag-
ed in. This, however, did not escape the en-
Wy and malice Of the world; and it was said,
in kind of petul ant and absurd cxaggeration,
that he used to walk to the Sou,h.end OH a
Saturday, and if he saw a man riding into
town in black coat, would stop and ash him
to preach the next day. DR.. Chauncy was a
close stsdent,very absent and very irritable.
On these traits in the character Of the two
clergymen, servant Of DR.. Chauncy laid q
scheme for obtaining particular object from
his master. Scipio went into his masters
study one morning to receive some directions,
which, the doctor having given, resumed his
writing; but the servant still remained. The
master looking up a few minutes aftcrward,
and supposng he had just come IN, said,
"Scipio, what do you waDt?" 81 want a new
coat, Massa." "Well, 60 to Mrs. Chauncy,
and tell her 10 give you one of my old coats;''

and was again absorbed in his studies. The
servant remained fixed. After a while, the
doctor turning his eyes that way, saw him a.
gain, as II for the Grst time, aud said, what
do you want, Scipio:" 81 want a new coat,
Massa." swell, go to my wife, and ask her
to give you one OF my old coats;' anc Tell TO
writing once more. Scipio remained IN the
same posture. After few moments the doc
tor looked towards him, and repeated the for
mer question, "Scipio what do you want!"-
al wnnt new coat. Massa." II now flashed
over the doctors mind that there was some
thing Of repetition in his dialogue. "Why,
have not told you before to ask Mrs. Chaun-
cy TO give you one?" get away" "Yes, Mas.
Sd, but 10 want black coat" "Not want
a black coat? why not!" "Why, Massa-l
fraid to tell you-but don't want a black
coat" "What's the reason you don't want
black coat? tell me directly!" D Massa,
don't want black coat, but fraid to tell you
the reason, you so passionate" "You rascal!
will you tell me the resson?" 80 Massa, Pm
sure you be angry" "if i had my cane here,
you villain,'d break your bones will you tell
me what you mean" 81 fraid to tell you,
Masso; know you be angry" The doctors
impatlence was now highly irritated: and
Sclplo pcrcelving, by his glance at the toDgs,
that he might find substitute for the cane,
and that he was sufficiently excited, said,
swell, Ma,sa, you make me tell, but know
you be angry fraid Massa, if wear anoth-
er black coat, DR.. Cooper ask Inc to preach
for him." This unexpected termination real
lied the servants calculation; his irritatcd
master burst into laugh,-"Go, you rascal,
get my hat and cane, and tell Mrs. Chauncy,
she may give you coat Of any color; a red
one if you choose" Away went the negro to
his mistress, and the doctor to tell the story
to his friend DR.. Cooper.

HYDRoPHoBIA.--In In a supplement to the
Madras Gazette Of June 6, there is an ac-
count Of the cure Of two well authenticated
cases of hydrophobia, after the dreadful eff
fects of the disease had proceeded TO an
alarming degree on the patient One of the
cases was successfully treated by Mr.. Tymon,
of his Majesty's 22d Dragons, and the other
by John Shoulbred, NJ. d. surgeon TO the
Calcutta native hospital. Ia both instances
the cure was procured by immediate and re-
peated bleedings, to the full extent they
could possibly bear-in one case nearly fifty
ounces of blood were taken in short time.
Calome and opium were given in repeated
doses, but the success of the treatmen mt seems
decidedly to be attributed to the repeated
bleedngs.

AND ENGLAND.

The following beautiful sentiment is quoted in
Blackwood, as coming from "one Of Mr.. Cole
-idge's Sybilline Leaves"
Though ages long have pas,
Since our fathers left their home.
Their pilot in the blast,
Ger untravcll'd d seas TO roam;
Yet lives the blood Of England in our veins;
And shall we not complain
That blood Of honest fame.
Which no tyranny can tamo
BY its chain!
While the language free and bold
Which the bard Of Avon sung,
In which our Milton told
How the vault Of Heaven rung
When Satan, blasted, fell, vi all his host;
While these with reverence meet,
Ten thousand echoes greet,
And from rock to rock repeat
Round cur coast.
While the manners, while the arts
That mould nations soul.
Still cling around our hearts,
Between let ocean roll,
Our joint communion breaking with the sun
Yet still from either beach,
The voice Of blood shall reach,
More audible than speech,
I'VE AREoNE."

have been spreading fearfully several weeks,

Groton. About forty families, it is said have
received the infection. We have heard of

first communicated by man from New York,
infected with the disease; whose complaint
was not understood until after he had been

The WAY TO CURE BAD HUsBAND.-
One farmer Potter, of the parish of Bow, in
Devonshire, man much inclined TO sottish-
ness, having occasion to sell yoke of oxen,
drove them to Creditor fair, about six or sew.
en- miles distant-and meeting with good
fair entertainment, and jovial companions, he
was nightly in his elements, and did not cry
to 90 home, but tarried there some weeks,
singing the songs of the drunkard until at
last he was disposed to set out for Bow, and
taking his landlord with him, they soon mr.
rived at the farmers house, where he expect.
cd to meet with warm reception from his
wife, but the good woman had formed a bet
ter resolution. Upon the sight Of his wife
who come to the door, he accosted her with
so, Cir ce, am returned;' TO which she an
swered, Il see you are, my dear; you are very
welcome.' But said he, Il have brought
another man with me- Quoth she, he is
welcome, too, for your sake But my love,
said he, Il have sold my oxen.' My dear,
replied she, you went to the fair for that pur-
pose.' I've spent the money! 'if you have,
quoth she, 'twas no more than your own
But farther than that said he, Il have gone
score to the amount of forty shllings, and
here is my landlord come for it, If so,' said
she, I'lf go up stairs and fetch it for him.
which she Immediately did, and afterwards
treating the landlord with pitcher of cider
and pipe oftobacco, in an amable manner
he took his leave. The farmer being so
charmed with the good economy Of his wife
Grace, told her, with tears in his eyes, he
would never do so any more, and declared
her his darling, and the hest of women; and
from thence lived temperate and happy with
Dame Grace to the day of his death. But
had she stormed him in the manner too many
women are wont to do on such occasions.
there is the greatest probability that he would
have pursued his vicious course of life, and
brought down poor Dame Grace's grey hairs
with sorrow to the grave Old Paper.
