O." The Lecture upon the Narragansetts,
it is presumed, was very well received And
it could not fail to be pleasant TO observe the
research and reflection il contained upon peo-
pie that are deservedly the wonder of both con-
tinents, and seem likely to become the most in-
teresting relic: upon either. The views il ex-
hibited upon the OCCASION Of their being exter-
minated as existing in their mythology, and of
the origin Of their mythology as independent
oftraditon, were Of character strikingly TO in
terest the audience and to induce them to
investigate and to weigh the merits of those
children of the forest-and to compare them
too, with those of the race who now occupy
the country in its present state.

have assumed in Western N. York the
shape of a tremendous snow storm, Of sew
ernl days duration, aud which, says the
Auburn Journal (Cayuga county,) buried
that region beneath its drifting embank.
mcnts, falling three to FIVE feet deep, and
rendering the roads impossible. At Roch-
ester also, the snow continued to fsll fur.
ously till Monday. The Rochester Dem.
ocrat says:
Durisg the night the storm increased in

on Sunday morning the streets filled with
drifts varying from three to Eve feet in
hcight-lying in every conceivable posture.
Many buildings were completely embargoed
with snow, all the avenues leading to aud
from them, even the windows of the first
stories being barricsded. The storm con-
tlnucd on Sunday with slight dimiuu,ion
OF the snow, but not Of the wind, thus aug

POWDER HoUsE BLOWN Up.-The Pow
der House belonging 10 Duty Green, Esq. =,
of Providence, situated in Cranslon, about
one mile from the city, was blown up with
a tremendous explosion, on Friday after
noon last. The Providence Journal gives
the following Particulsrs:-
A young man named Lang, about eish-
teen years old, was going to the shore with
his gun; when he was near the powder
house, las he states,) and within four feet
of 1t, he discharged his gun into it, without
considering the consequences. lie was
blown thirty feet by the explosion, and then
run near one hundred feet with his clothes
(what remained on him, as they were near
ly all burnt off, on fire lie wa. seen by
a person residing near, who immediately
ran TO his assistance with buffalo skin,
and wrapt it round him and extinguisbcd
the fire. lie is in a most Distressing sit
uation. The skr is entirely burnt off his
face, which is of jet black and dreadful
ly swollen. His body and arms are burnt
IN shocking manner. He received ~ Sc
we're cut on the bnck par, of his head. His
recovery is very Doubtful. There was sew
enty five kegs of gunpowder in the house at
the time of the explosion. II was very
fortunate circumstance, That between five
and six hundred kegs of powder had been
removed from II short time previous.

The abolition vote has but slightly Increased,
and the Increase now all comes out of the fed
eral ranks, so that it merely scatrers the feder-
al vote. The sound democrats of the District,
who have been influenced by representations OF
political abolition agents, who professed TO be
democrats, begin to clearly perceive that it is
only whiggery with an abolition cloak on; and
they are, like true patriots, leaving political ag-
itation TO dissolve the Union. and returning TO
their first love.

N1LLAlNI.
The Supreme Court of Ohio, now sitting in this
city, devoted last Saturday, the Goth inst. to the
hearing of applications for divorce. The evi'
dence adduced in one case, revealed a career oil
vllainy which has seldom been exceeded. The
husband of the applicant came to Pleasant Valley,
New York, several years since, and introduced
himself to Presbyterian Clergyman Of that
place, a a graduate Of some College IN Quebec.
He stated that his father was wealthy man OF
Upper Canada, who was anxious that he should
90 to Europe, and complete his education at one
Of the Universities of Edinburg; but that he was
anxious to remain in America, and prepare HIM
self for the ministry; and that in consequence Of
his declining to follow the plan marked GU, by his
father, he was left without means to prosecute
his theological studies. The charitable clergy
man took him to his family, and for year suppI-
ed him with every thing-& several times relieved
him when under arrest for debt. AT the close Of
the year he borrowed money to return to Canada,
saving that he still hoped that his father might be
induced to aid him. From Quebec. he wrote that
his fathers property had recently been consumed
by FIRE, and requested the further loan of $50 to
enable him to return. The money was forward
ed TO him, but he was not again heard of. He is
next found preaching and distributing tracts in
the Western Reserve, and finally comes to Ham
il,on county. Ohio, where he introduces himself
under another name TO clergyman, "a licen-
tate Of the Presbyterian church in Scotland,
breaches frequently, and at last he marries the
daughter Of respectable physician. He then
removes to Kentucky, with his wife, and employs
himself as teacher. After years residence
in Kentucky, he purchased horse, for which he
gave his note; came up to Cincinnati. sold the
horse, wrote a letter in disguised hand, and I'M
der feigncd name to his father-in-aw; commu-
nicated a very f1attering obituary notice Of him
self, to one of the Lawrenceburgh editors; and
escaped down the river. He is next heard from
at Mobile, from whence he writes in a very pen
tent style, TO the clergyman in this county, upon
whom he had so shamefully imposed; and subse
quenlv as proof Of his entire reform, he goes TO
New York, again changes his names, represents
himself Frenchman, again marries; and in
A few months afterwards again writes TO his first

sorce and allowed five hundred dollars alimony.
