The foregoing anecdotes illustrates the re-
markabe Independence and fearessness of Mr..
Adams, and the degree of influence which the
clergy exerted in his day. The following an
ecdote is characteristic OF the man. but is of diff
ferent stamp: One night he put up at the house
of Mr. Emerson, the minister of Hollis Now his
host, as it was the general custom, took n glass
of btters every morning, and it so happened that
they were in the closet Of the chamber where Mr.
Adams slept. With the morning came his cra~
wing for bitters. He did not wish to disturb Mr..
Adams, but he was very anxious to get his hit
tiers, and try he mnst. So he opened the door
softly, and crept slyly to the said closet. Mr..
Adams heard him, but wishing to know what he
would be at pretended to be asleep, AS soon
as he had secured the prize and was about ma
king his escape, Mr.. A. broke the profound ST.
ence ofthe apartment with the exclamation,
"Brother Emerson, have always heard you was
n very pious man-,nuch given to your closet
devolions, but never caught you at them be-
fore.' "Pshaw-pshaw!" replied his friend,
who made for the door and shut it as quick rs he

need not ] cannot say what sacrifice Of in
dividua feeling make TO sense of duty
The intention OF the Congress of 1899 has
never been executed, nor The proposed noun
ment erected. The enthusiasm of the time pas
sed away, and the many conflicting cares OF
the grent nation turned its thoughts from thus
perpetnating his memory, whose image, it trust
led, would he forever enshrned in the hearts of n
greatful people.
Scarcely,,two years her lonely ,widowhood
were accomplished ere tho lady OF Mt
Vernon found dePth approaching. Gath
oring her family around her, she impress
ed on them the valre of that religion which she
had tested from he youth onward to hoary hairs.
Then calmly resigned her soul into the hands
of Him who gave it, at the age of seventy, full
of years md full of honors she was laid in the
tomb of Washington.
In this outline of the lineaments OF Martha
Washington, we perceive, that it was neither the
beauty with which she was endowed, nor the
high station which she attained, that gave endur-
ing lustrc TO her character, but her Christian H.
deity in those duties which devolve upon her
SEX These fitted 10 irr,adiate the home, to Ugh

ANECDOTES OF REV. ZABDIEL ApAMs.-He
had attended IA funeral one afternoon and was
following the corpse, in the rear of the grave
yard. All of n sudden the procession came TO
stand. After considerable pause, Mr.. Adams
got impatient and walked to the bier to know the
cause thereof The pall-b barriers informed him
that a sheriff from Leominster had attached the
body for debt This practice was legal at this
period. Attached the body? exclaimed Mr. A.
humping his cane down with vehemence.
Move on said he, 'and bury the man. have
made a prayer at II funeral and somebody shall,
be,bured. lf the sheriff object, take hin, up and
and bury him. The bier raised without de-
lay, the procession moved on, and the shelf
thought best to modest them no further, or in vnl.
gar pnrlance, made himself scarce. A parish
oner brought n child to him To be baptized.
The old parson leaned forward and asked him
the name Icilabod,' says he. Now Mr. had
strong prejudice against this name. 'Poh, poh
said he, John yon mean. John baptze thee
in the name,' &c. One Sabbath afternoon
his people were expecting stranger TO
preach, whom they were all anxious to hear, g.
n much more numerous congregation than usu-
al had assembled. The stranger did not come,
and Of course the people were disappointed.
Mr. Adams found himself obigedto offcate; 81
in the course Of his devotional exercise he spoke
TO this effect awe beseech thee. o Lord, for
this people, who have come up with.ltching ears
to the Sanctuary that their severe aff1cton may
be sanctfied to them for their moral and spritu-
al good, and that the humble efforts of Thy SER
want may he made through thy grace, in some
measure effectual to their edification,' &c.
neighboring minister mild, inoffensive
man-with whom he was about to exchange,
said to him, knowing the peculiar huntness Of
his character, "You will find some panes ofglass

may suffer from the cold. The cushion too is in
u bad condition, but beg you not to say any
thing to my people on the subject. They are
poor,' sc. 80, no. o, mol" says Mr. Adams.
But ere he left home, he filed bag with rags
and took it with him. When he had been in the
pulpit short tune, feeling somewhat ncommo
ded by the too free circulation of air, he deliber
ately took from the bag handful ar two ofrags
and stuffed them into the window. Towards
the close of his discourse, which was more or
less upon the duties ola people towards their
clergyman, he became very animated, and pur-
posely brought down both fists with tremendo-

MURDER most shocking murder was com
mitted on Saturday, on the road between tins
city and Garondeet, on the person OF Judge
Thomas NJ Dougherty. The circumstances, so
far as developed before the inquest are substan-
TALLY these-Mr Dougherty and Mr. Linton Sap
pingion, were coming to the city together MIR
Sappington stopped at the grocery OF MIR Bus
ser n few minutes, and when mounting ms morse
n black boy passed and informed him Mr. Dough

hastily forward, and when about 400 yards from

little of the road, shot, and his head bloody,
his hat off, and his papers, which appeared TO
have been rolled up i'm piece of newspaper,
lying on the ground. Mr. Sapping,on attempted
to raise him up, but found him too far gone; he
lad him down, and Immediately rode hack for
help. AS soon as he got help from Mr. Busser's,
Mr. S. mounted his horse aud came to the city
for surgeon and hack to bring him to town,
and returned in about half an hour The Judge

he conveyed to suitable place. On examining
bis wounds he appeared TO be shot with from
five to seven huckshot, entering the side and top
oil the head, and ranging downwards, one OF the
shot had penetrated the brain. 1t is believed
that he must have been off his horse, or his head
bowed down when the gun was fired. Thus far
no clue has been found to the perpetrators of the
deed. When Mr. Sappington left the body and
dressed In ligh, pantaloons and yellow shirt,
standing about sixty feet from the road, with "A
gun or stick in his hand, hailed MIR S. and Gu
qnred where he was going. Mr. S made some
reply and rode on. A coroner's inquest was held
over the body, aud number of witnesses exam
med; the substance OF the examination is given
above. The object of the murder it is supposed
from the position of the papers, was money, but
il is not known that any was obtained
