ton in your last weeks paper, under the
signature Of w. r. Braton. in reference
to the dues and collections of Biatton "
FIsher,wiih view to quiet the appreben-
sions of all concerned and TO satisfy the
public: that | am the only person legally
and properly authorized to close the IN
settled business Of the late firm Of Bratton
& Fisher; now submit the following
statement of facts:
During last spring, about the time John
w. Bratlon, was preparing to leave this
state, he and myself chose two referees to
say how the business Of Bratton & Fisher,
should be settled. They advised an i'm
mediate dissolution Of the partnership, ami
appointed two commissioners under whose
direction, management, aud supervision
The business should be closed; and VIM.
X. BraIton, and myself, were in the frs,
instance appointed to close the business;
but subsequently, the commissioners
thought it best for me alone to manage
the business; particularly as ! have Civ
en- security for the faithful application of
the funds of the firm, and they accordingly
put the whole Of the business in my hands,
and they look 10 me ard my securities
alone for the proceeds of the business.
But Independent of those reasons it is my
right, as surviving partner to close
The business Of the concern, and the
| debtors Of The ln,r firm of Rrat,on g.
Fisher, are authorized TO settle with no
one but me, Of which notice has been

The Wings Of New Shoreham held n
meeting on that Island, the Cd inst. for
the purpose Of electing delegates to the
Kingston Convention and for the pur-
pose also of taking into consideration
the daring attempts of some of the lead
ing men in NEW YORK, aided by
their political friends in this State, to
interfere with the qualification of votes,
as established by our own charter and
Laws. The following is the official ac-
count Of the proceedings of our friends
at that meeting.
AT a large and respectable meeting
of the Whig froemen Of New Shore
ham, holden on the Cd Of October,
1889, agreeably to public notice. Ma
THANIEL G. SANDS, Esq. was chosen
Chairman, and JOHN Il. III. SANDS, Esq
Secretary.
SIMON II. SANDS, and EDWARD MoT1
Cd, Esquircs. were unanimously cleo
ted delegates to the Kingston Convcn-
tion.
The following resolutions were then
introduced, and after duly considering
them, were passed by unanimous
vote:
Resoired, That in the opinion Of this
meeting it is highly important that the
good citizens Of this State, particularly
the LAND HOLDERS, mechanics, and
business men, should Immediately Or
ganise and place themselves in a situa.
ton to be prepared, completely ono
eiiectually to lrustratc and put dowr
the imPudcnt attempts which are now
making to interfere with, If not to de-
stroy, the most valued safeguard to ou'
dearest rights and liberties, by intro

THE PUBLIC LANDS,
Considered as The means Of paying III
debts Of The Siaies.

Considered as The means Of paying he
debts Of The States.
The amount Of the stocks of the seve-
raj States, already issued or authorised d
by law to be issued, is estimated at
Sta, 1892, 1853 Most Of these stocks
have been issued at FIVE per cent. The
interest upon the whole issued therefore
amounts TO about nine millions per an-
mum. For many years past, up TO 1887 {,
the sales Of public lands amounted 10
considerably more than this sum, and, A.,
under a judcious system and favorable
auspices, would double it, for many
years to come.-ln 1885, the sales were
more than fifteen millions--in 1886 up
wards Of twenty millions. The ave-
rage for seven years has been nearly
eight millions Of dollars. 1t will be seen
from this, that the sales Of the public
lands will furnish an ample fund for the
pay ment Of the in,esest Of tho several
States, and, as the division Of the pro-
ceeds of these sales amongst the States,
for this purpose can meet with no consii-
tutional objection-as the revenue does
not require them-and as the States are
in manifest danger Of suffering loss Of
credit, unless they are aided in this or
some other way, we cannot but an,ici-
pate for the plan tho most extensive
popularity whenever it shall be fairly
brought before the nation.
1t is easy to perceive whnt would be
the effect on the public credit Of the
States OF such an arrangement. Their
bonds, thus guaranteed, Us il were, by
the general government, and the Ger.
tuinty Of the regular payment of interest
secured, would at once, be put in pos
session Of the means Of carrying on it,
works Of internal Improvement, now Ian
gushing for the want Of means ol com
plciing them. The United States now
owns nearly three hundred millions Of
ceded public domain. has realized
by the sale Of sixiy-ihreo millions Of
acres the enormous SUN Of eighty -one
millions Of dollars. The sale of the
balance will realise the inc dible amount,
Of more than three hundred and seventy.
five millions Of dollars. What better
I appropriation can be made Vi this vast

Mr.. Bellows began his Course OF
Lectures last Monday evening, with an
exceedingly neat and interesting Lee
ture, on the weights and elasticity and
other properties Of the atmosphere
His apparatus works admirably. Many
of his experiments, especially those
which went to prove the weight of the

We really hope, and have no doubt that
the coming evenings will give Mr.. b.

the notice of this first Lecture was moi
sufficiently general and timely. We

WM. PENN's WAY OF GETTING WHAT LAND
HE wANTED.-PeDn learned in 1869 that
there was some very choice land not included
in his first purchase and he sent to inquire
of the Indians, if they would sell i.-They
replied that they did not wish to part with
the land where their fathers were resting
but, TO please their father Onas,-the name
they gave the good man,--ihey would sell
him some Of it. Accordingly, they agreed
Tor a certain quantity Of English goods, to
sell as much land as one of his young men
could walk around in day, "beginning at
the great river Cosquanco," now Kensngton,
land ending at the great river Kallapngo,"
now Bristol. This mode of measurement.
though their own choice, did not in the end
satisfy the Indians; for the young English
man chosen 10 walk off the tract Of land.
walked so fast and far ms greatly to astonish
and mortify them. The governor observed
this dissatisfaction, and asked the cause
I"The walker cheat u.s."
"Ah, how can that be ?" said Penn; " did
you not choose yourselves to have tho land
measured in this way?"
"Truc," replied the Indians, but white
brother made too big walk"
II Some Of Penn's commissioners, waxing
warm, said the bargain was o fair one, and
insisted that the Indians ought to abide by il,
and if not should be compelled to il.
Compelled" exclaimed Penn, how can
you compel them wthou, bloodshed;. Don't
Won sec this looks Ia murder? 2" Then turning
with benignant smile to the Indians, he
said. "Wcll brothers, if you have given US
too much land for the goods fret agreed on,
how much more will satisfy you?"
This proposal grniifcd them; and they
mentioned tho quantity Of cloth, and the num-
her of f~h hooks, with which they would be
satisfied. These wore cbeerfully given, and
the Indians, shaking hands with Penn, wen,
away smiling.
Af,er they were gone, the governor, look
ing roond on his friends, exclaimed, 30 how
'wect and cheap n thing is charity! Some
Of you spoke jnst now, Of compelling these
poor cresiures to stick TO their bargain, that

NIGHT WATcH.-We have been re-
quested by many of our most rcspecta-
BILE citizens, to suggest whether it is
not desirable to call special town
meeting for the purpose of Immediately
setting night watch. The numerous
and destructive connngrations which
have recently taken place in almost
every part of the country. we have rea-
son to believe. have been in many in
stances the work Of inccndiarics.-
There is great safety against fires as

will be promptly taken to establish one

CENTENARY OF METHODISM

Friday next, the 25th inst, is to be
observed throughout the world, by the
Methodist connexion, as day ofthanks-
giving and praise to God, for the great
blessings conferred upon man through
the instrumentality of JOHN WESLEY
1t is now just one hundred years since
that devoted man organized his first
society, and commenced an exposition
ofthe doctrines, which, from that event
ful period, has been so wonderfully
owned and blessed by the great head
Of the church-not only in England and
the United States, but also throughout
the Christian, and in many parts of the
heather world. Indeed, so signal has
been its success towards the conversion
Of the world, even in the hands Of hum
BILE men, that no unprejudiced mind will
deny it has ever been supported by the
power and favor of God.
The anniversary of the Centenary in
England and in the United States is
most auspicious, as relates to the future
progress of Methodism. The means sc
literally placed within its control,
managed with prudence which has
ever characterised the sect, cannot fail
of increasing still moi wonderfully its
future success. In England more than
a million Of dollars has already, and
much more will still be raised, as a
thank offering to God, and wholly de-
voted to the education Of pious youth
for the ministry, for superanuated
preachers, their widows and orphans,
for missions and other benevolent and
charitable purposes. In our own coun-
try, Judging from the liberality mani
tested in New York, Baltimore, Pitts
burg, Boston, Providence, and wherev-
err the subject has been agitated, hun
drcds ofthousands may also be expected.
With this enormous sum, also judic-
iously applied to the same benevolent
purposes, aided by the prayers of the
ssren hundred and forty thousand, that
compose the church in the United
States, if actuated by the same spirit
and zeal for the hundred years te come,
as has been manifested the hundred
years past, who will predict what Wes-
leyan Methodism shall be at the COM
mencement of third century?
