and requesting him 10 go immediately for

OBITUARY.

Death is terrible, when he spreads his
sooty ,jings and careers amidst the storm
dbatlle, or when he rides over the earth in
the pestilenlial car. He is dreaded, when
be approaches the gay, the proud, or the no
DE. His step is feared in the palaces of
kngS. The iron-hearted sinner, who has
spent life in rebellious resistance to the
power Of his Maker, when his hoary locks
and lettering steps warn him of the ap-
roach Of death, trembles at the thought
and covers with an agonizing foretaste of
tespair, beneath his touch. Bot to the
humble and devoted Christian, he is well
come. He sinks calmly and without a
thought of fear into his arms, and gladly re-
'sns life Of turbulence aud toll, for one o
'Ilssful quiet and heavenly repose. How
'erenely sets his sun, whose hope is stayeC
On God How cheerfully he enters tn

fair sex, the wives and daughters of the |
Bonmahon miners, attending in holiday |
garb, and marching with as much preeis- !
ION as lfthey had been drilled by Zenobia
herself. Their Clearly and respectable
appearance was highly creditable to them,
and their arrival was hailed by loud and
long repeated cheering. After the Rev.
gentleman had concluded his address, up
wards OF four thousand persons took the
pledge, amongst whom were almost the
whole population of Bonmahon. Next
morning the work was renewed, and the
inhabitants pressing in from the surround
ing country, flee thousand more were ad-
ded, making name thousand in two DAYS,
uniting with the total abstinence society
in this district"
The London editor from whose paper
this account is taken, says: "Who can
read these delightful accounts without ex-
penenclng the most joyous feelings
Surely better day is frightening for our
hitherto suffering sister isle ?"
Not sing lie instance has yet occurred
of a pledge being broken. La one case it
was reported that an individual had fallen
back; but he himself had requested an
examination, which resulted in his &C.
, qui.tal, the story having been raised by
an enemy.

S sumption of spirits in Ireland has beer

ing, or about 4O,O00.0OO Of dollars. Tn,
> probability is that the consumer, WIZ
re usually drinks by retail, pays double thi
d price, which would be S8O,OOO,OOO year

the Legislation then desired.
The application assumes, that although !
the means for the Treasury for the vhole I
year may be equal to the expenditures of
the year, the Department may, notwith- !
standing, be rendered unable to meet the |
/ claims upon it at the times when they fall
! due. This apprehension arises partly
from the circumstance that the larger pro-
portion Of the charges upon the Treasu
ry-including the payment of pensions,
and the redemption of Treasury Notes
fall due in the early part of this year, viz
IN the months of March and May, while
the resources, on which 1t might other
wise rely, to discharge them, cannot be
made available until the last half of the
year, and partly from the fact that por-
ition of the means of the Treasury con-
islsts of debts due from banks, for some of
which delay has already been asked, and
which may no: be punctually paid.
Considering the injurious Consequences
to the character, credit, and business of the
country, which would result from failure
| oy the Government for even 50 short pc
t Rod, to meet its engagements-that the
4 happening of such contingency can on
4 ly be effectualy guarded against by the
: exercise of legislative authority--that
y the period when such disability must

FIRE.-Walter Robbins, of Leicester,
had his barn burnt, last Thursday evening,
and with it two horses, two cows, four
yearlings, and a sheep. The owner is
said 10 have been the last person in the
barn, before the fire was discovered. He
! is said to have used a tin lantern. 1t is
also said that he is smoker of tobacco,
and that he has been frequently seen in
his barn with his pipe in his mouth i
These statements are made, not to cast re-
Elections upon the unfortunate man, but to
put others on their guard. If you will
smoke the poisonous weed, do not need
Iessly endanger your property by this use
of fire. And if you have tin lanterns,
throw them away and procure glass ones
at once.
