We have this week given the remarks oi Mir Perry, of this county, in the celebrated Dr. Jarvis case delivered before the Senate on making his report The more we read of this case, the more we are in- clined to believe that the Rev. Dr. is not so mmacu. late as he should be- That Mrs. Jarvis is an exrava- gant, expensive, hardbitted wife, there can be no room for doubt; but we inclined to think tha. if the Dr. had exhibited portion of that amiability'' of which his friends testify he had such an abundance, matters might been brought to an amicable arrange ment without all this scandal of twenty-five years accumulation being brought before the public.
 The editor ofthe Hartford Review says that he has received orders for lsoo copies of the report in the Jarvis case before committee of the last Legislature from all parts of New-England, and from other States Suchisth the morbid appetite for scandal that every one loves to read of the difficulties in which clergyman is implicated. @a

of parchment took away his birth right forever,
That his hunting grounds were to be destroyed
That his resources were to be cut off, and hls race
TO be exterminated by the progress of civilization
If he had comprehended this, would not hs proud

suffered the plough of the white man to violate

slender means, plant themselves on piece OF ter

dreamed not of the capacity of Europe to people

dim and imperfect at first to realize the great and

themselves and to excite his fears. But time dis

Like long baited lion unclaimed.
