at ST. Mary's, Maryland in 1894. The
settlement at Providence Rhode Island, was
made by Roger Williams in 1926, two
years ailei the founding of the Maryland

TROUBLE IN ALBANY.
Al5any, NoU. 30ih.

There is promise of trouble here. The
tenants of the PATRON, Stephen Van ReBs-
seaer, have refused 10 pay rent any lon
ger, alleging that they have paid it long e.
nough, and tits time to quit paying rent.
This property, you know, is very extern
sive, comprising ALMOST the entire towns of
Knox, Wesierlo, and Rensselaerville, most
of which is held on long leases a nominal
rent having been paid heretofore in pro.
duce. The son of the old PATRON has
tried the law upon them, and they have re-
sisted. The Sheriff in consequence Of
this resistance has called the posse commit
fqf,ts Of the county, and has been engaged

MURDER WILL OUT.

About forty years ago family apparent
lv well off, and who seemed to possess an
abundance; and were proud, overbearing
and suspicious in their character and way
of living, resided in Peters township, Wash
ington co. Pa. about twenty miles from
Piusburg. A middle sized boy lived with
them, whom they treated harshly and Sc
verely, insomuch that his case excited the
notice and sympathy Of tAe neighbors. All
at once he was missing and the family re-
ported he had run off. Suspicious were
excited but as nothing ever leaked out, it
died away. The family, it was generally
remarked, became poor and unhappy, and
finally were sold out for debts, and moved
away. The farm and property passed in
to other hands. A short time ago the house
was torn down, and on moving the hearth,
the bones of middle sized human being
found burd under it, and suspicious are
now strong again that these are the bones
of the boy who 1t is believed, was at that
time murdered and buried there.

To Benjanin Franklin.
New York, 23d September, l7si


Dear Sir--The afi'ectionaie congratula-
,ions on the recovery Of my health, and the
warm expressions Of personal friendship,
which where contained in your letter of the
10th inst, claim my gratitude. And the
consideration that it was written when you
were afflicted with painful malady, great
Iy inc,ea my obligation for it.
Would to God, my dear Sir, that could
congratulate you upon the removal Of that
excruciating pain under which YOU labor;
and that your existence might close with as
much ease to yourself as its continuance has
been beneficial to our country and useful to
mankind; or, if the united wishes Of free
people, Joined with the earnest prayers OF
science and humanity, could relieve the bo-
DIV from pain or infrmities, then you could
claim an exemption on this score. But this
cannot be, and you have within yourself
the only resource TO which we can conf
dcntly apply for relief, philosophIc mind.
If to be venerated for beneyolence, if to
be admired for talents, if 10 be esteemed for
patriotism, if to be beloved for philanlhro-
py can gratify the human mind, you mus
have the pleasing consolation 10 know tina,
YOU have not lived in vain. And | fattei
myself that it will not be ranked among the
least greatful occurrences Of your life to be
assured, that, SO long as retain my memo
ry, you will be recol ected with respect
veneratior, and affection by your sincere
friend,

A Nan rescued from Tiger By q
Lioa.--A Birr correspondent of the Dublin
Morning Post, says :-"Since came here
have heard an ahcedote of one Of Batty's
lions, which shows the sagacity of that TO-
BILE animal in remarkable point of view.
Those who visited Bauy's managere, in
Dublin, will remember that he had two H..
ons and tiger tanned together in the same
cage, and whilst exhibiting al Roscrea a
lew days ago, the keeper of these animals,
whilst in the cage with them, missed his
foot and fell upon the tiger, which was a.
sleep al the moment. The animal became
enraged, and jumping up caught the unfor.
tunale man by the thigh. A thrill of hor-
ror pervaded she hundreds Of spectators
who were visiting the exhibition at the
time, and the mans destruction was
deemed inevitable, when, to the inexpres
sibe Joy, as well as amazement of all pre-
sent, the lion seized the tiger by the neck
and caused 1t at once TO relinquish its hold
whilst the man was dragged out, of hi
cage, bleeding in dreadful manner. II

FIRE

Our citizens were on Tuesday last at a.
bout half past three o'clock aroused from
their slumbers by the cry Of fire. which ap-
proved to be the barn OF Jacob Medary's in
Alsace township, situated about three miles
from town. Our fremen Immediately pro-
ceeded out with their fire apparatus, but ow-
ing to the great distance from town, they
were unable 10 reach it in time TO render
any assistance, and consequently il was to-
tally consumed, together with a wagon
house, which upon It's loft contained sever
al hundred bushels of threshed grain and in
the barn large stock of Hay, Wheat, Com
&c. The most shocking to relate Is that
five beautiful horses and seventeen fine
head OF cattle perlshed in the flames. A
stable belonging to George Dallicker, situ-
ate on the opposite side OF OF the road, and
containing a quantity of hay was likewise
consumed. The loss sustsined by MIR
Medary alone is estimated to be about fUt
thousand dollars, upon which there wa:
no insurance. 1t is evident (says a frier'
of ours who was kind enough to furnish u
with the account,) that it was the work o

Uahing up the Wrong Passenger
The following good 'un' related by our
Philosopher is new to US Tom P"@**,
an unsophisticaled son of Erin, wishing to
take the stage for journey, put up at a
tavern from whence il was to start; and he
was nut into room with colored man.
He Of course took parting glass with his
friends, and was put to bed somewhat mel
low. As soon as he was asleep, bis jovial
friends BACKED his face all over like the ace
Of clubs. Before daylight he was called
in hurry, and took his seat in the stage
without paying his morning respects 10 the
mirror In couple of hours the stage ar
rived at the stopping place for breakfast,
and Tom, on account of his color was
shown into a different room from the other
passengers, and left there alone. In few
minutes, however, he discovered his sooty
phiz IN the glass, and then the whole house
was alarmed by his shouts. " What is the
matter, man ~ exclaimed the people who
came rushing into the room. Mathur, is
is Oh murther, murther They've woke
up the wrong passenger. It's the nagul
they have walked, and not me; and there
am asleep in the tavern, when ! ought to be
half the way on my journey. Och, honey
how much will il stand me TO have the dri
yer go back and pet me 2"
