| .4dpplicaton for 0Divorce.-A heavy tide Of
gossip is flowing over the good state Of Connect
leu, at this moment in consequence of an appli-
cation to the legislature of that State, by the lady
of the Rev DR. Jarvis, for divorce. The parties
are well known in this city, from the circum-
| stance that DIR j formerly settled over the E.
pscopal church in Bloomingdale. DR. Jarvis
and his lady are both most respectfully connec-
ed-the former being son of the late Bishop
Jarvis, and the other the daughter OF the
late Gen Hart Of Say brook. d Jarvis is a
gentleman Of high literary attainments, and Mrs.
Jarvis mus, be very unlike the residue of the
family unless she has vigorous and well cult
vated mind. 1t has long been known that the
parties We're rather paired than matched, and
separation "from bed and board'' took place
while they were residing in France, few years
since. formidable array of counsel has been
retained upon both sides in Connecticut, and
parties are taking sides both i'm and out OF that
State: We have heard enough to convince us
that there are two sides to the story, but our
own impression is that the .t1irest side is with
the lady. There is no infielaty of any Sort
charged in the case; but much of iatelicity.-
The fact is, the parties unsuited to and acith
each other Both eccentric, and perhaps as
in another ofclerical domestic trouble, some
distance up the North River, both are so much
alike that they cannot get along together at all.

A gentleman who arrived from Quebec last
weekly the kennebec road informs us that there
was no snow of any consequence to be seen
when he left, nor but very little on the high
lands. OF course we may expect that the winds
from that quarter will not be cold for great
while to come.
From him also we learn that the British are
about commencing fort ut Madawaska' 1t is
to be called barracks but the walls are to be
eight feet thick. We have some doubt whether
the home government will enter fully into the
views of the provncias~in terrifying their posi-
ton in our territory--that is unless our govern
ment should be unpardonably amiss in It's duty

present of it as all offset for Fort Blunder

of an interesting character, especially TO those

nv Mr. Bates the lecture by DR. s. p. Cheney, with
The OK bbition of his Glass; and the performances Of
probably much the largest choir ever assembled in
The Staie afforded rich treats to the multitude pres
ent on the occasion. We anticipate much from
this meeng-the revival, or rather the creation, of
right musical spirit, which shall be felt in our
churches. Such result Is hoped for by the NOV
ers in this matter, (and foremost among them we
ought perhaps in justice say, stands professional
teacher of music, Mr. Moses E. Cheney, of this
village0 and surely we hope they will not be dis
appointed. Neither time nor space will permit us
to do more than to add, are requested to do,
that the two important subjects presented to the
convention, and left Enacted upon, were thus left
for the reason that these were deemed to be sub
jecs more appropriate for the action of the State
Society, the formation of which is contemplated.

Indian Murders. The Providence Journal re-
ports at large the trial ofDaniel Harry, in Wash
ington county, for TIE murder Of Christopher
Ross on the % of March-both Indians Of the
Narragansett tribe. The murder was commit
ted in the course of frolic, some slight offence
havings been given by the deceased to Harry
He is said 10 be collateral descendent oil
King Tom, the last sachem of the tribe. The
9th of August is appointed for hls execution, u
verdict of guilty having been rendered. His de.
pertinent at the close of the trial is thus des
cribed.
"The prisoner is aged thirty one years short
but well formed, with staight black hair, and c.
mac lated by confinement The expression of his
countenance, though tranquil is sirong and de-
cided. During the trial he betrayed while in
court) nc emotion of guilt or fear except by the
large drops of sweat which constantly stood on
his face. When the verdict was pronounced
he preserved the same immovable calmness
But in the evening he exhibited power of sell
control scarcely audibie.-whie the Judge ad-
dressed him, and when the words, hanged by the
neck until dead, were pronounced, not muscle
moved no expression but thal ofpalient suffer
ing. This will appear the more remarkable,
when it is known that he is man of more Than
ordinary mind, and that only moment before
taken from the Jail he was weeping bitterly,
while inquiring OF friend how he could bestow
his Indian land upon his sister an only rela-
tive. Ii was altogether an exhibition Of iorti-
tude not unworthy his ancestors
