 These are but few of the many evidences of esteem and affection recorded in this bu- rial place. The tombstOnes, generally, are very handsomely executed, and display beautiful inscriptions. In one corner of the ground, however. discovered grave, with out a stone to indicate the name of the per- son whose remains were reposing there.- Perhaps some poor individual. was buried there, whose best friend was ashamed to ac- knowledge him, and who instead of making even decent display over the neglected grave, preferred to steal there at midnight, and shed clandestine tear to his memory {; even if such is the case, the reflection is con- soling that, in the court of Heaven, this poor neglected individual may be more highly es- tinated than some who have glittered, like the gaudy butterfly, in the sunshine of an hour.

The Hartford Eage has nominated M- Tyler for reelection, and has colnmn r,, two of shaver tor the President, for whom he must entertain very contemptible onin- ion, if he suPP0ses he will be induenced bv such outpourings. The Eagle man rra learn, is absolutely suffering for an office as his eagle is losing it's feathers daily. and he means to have an office at some rate he fore the bird "kicks over." Hence inc re- ward of fifty dollars for information tbst would prove any office holder to have in- terfered in the elections. The PLACE of such an one is wanted-that's all. But tbe. Eagle man may be assured that when the President wants to buy an Editor he will purchase one of some influence.

 Sudden Deatk.-On Sunday last, the Rev. FREDERICK TUcKERMAN, of this village, while engaged in preaching to a congregation at Manchester, fell down in the pulpit, and inn mediately expired: He had complained in the morning of feeling unwell, and stated to his hearers that he didn't know as he should be able to speak long, for he felt strangely. Soon after taking his text and opening lis discourse, he tainted, and almost iDn1edj ately breathed his last. MT. T. was former ly preacher among the MethOdists, but for several years had been connected with the Presbyterian denomination. He served his Heavenly Master with zeal and fidelity through long and useful life, and has been summoned to his reward at the age of 70 years-FO'keepsss Telegraph.
 Marriage ErtraordinGry-Yes chi valric young Pole, named Louis Grobosky, was brought into the presence of the Police on complaint of affiliation, lodged against him by young French woman, named Elizabeth Kease- As the gallant Pole had few resources of money, but extensive stores of honor and affection, he deemed it his due ty to expiate his folly by profering the la- dy his hand in marriage. This she prompt ly accepted, and placing herself at the altar, with an interesting infant in her arms. and the heroic Pole taking his station by her side, Justice Matsell recited the ceremonial promises, to which they cordially respond cd, and the fiat '5as pronounced that made the lovers one- Then smilingly they left the office together, while the tender pledge of their mutual affection cheered Oa the procession by three hearty squalls.

 At this stage of the remarks of Mir. Dew, the audience interrupted him with loud out cries, whether of applause or condemnation is not stated, although the words "Go it, Dew." were particularly audible. ...
 After MT. Dew had concluded his speech, another gentleman rose and observed that he would like to hear little more from the gentleman who had just taken his seat, rel ative to the geographical location of "Old Plymouth Rock" 'st
 Mr. Dew replied-"That Rock is where you nor have never been, and that is suffi- cient; and if it is not, sir, repeat it is in the Old DOminiOn, commonly called the State gf VTginiG. Screams and yells.
 End ef Rish Pope-Clement ", during his feeble and profligate reign, amassed enormous riches by the sale of ecclesiastical beneficiaries and by other scandalous means. He had enriched his relations and his de- pendants, but he had not secured their gra- titude. The moment that his death was an. nounced in the papal palace, all the inmates rushed upon his treasures as if they had been their lawful booty. Amongst his nN- merous household, not single servant re- mained to watch the dead body of his mas ter. The wax candles that lighted his bed of state fell upon the bed clothes and set them on fire. The flames spread over the whole apartment, but the palace and ward- robe were so plHndered. that only mise rable cloth could be found to cover the half burnt remains of one of the richest PopeS who had ever governed the church,

Through the politeness Of a gentleman,

The line strikes Red river one mile and a

about ten feet on each side of the line, max

Unpleasant Occurrence.-The Wheeling
Gazette states that on Friday week the great
mail both for the cast and west of that CITY.
was stopped at the toll gate, five miles out on
the National Road, by the Superintendent,
under an order from the Board of Public
Works of Virginia. The Gazette adds
For some time past difficulty has existed
between the Board and the contractor in re-
gard 10 toll-the one demanding and the 9TH
er refusing its payment-and on that day the
matter was brought to crisis by the stage
carrying the mail being prohibited from pas
sing the gate without paying up. This was
positively refused, and after remaining on
the spot for some hours, the mail from the
East was taken back to Philadelphia, where
1t remained until our Postmaster, OH his own
responsibility, sentout conveyance and had
1t brought to town. The mail from the West
was carried back and deposited in our post
Office. On Saturday morning, the mail each
way passed through, our postmaster paying
the toll, and we suppose this arrangement
will continue until orders are received from
head quarters.

THE DISTRIBUTION BILL

We regret to hear that there is any doubt OF
the success Of this important measure in the
Senate. We consider it based upon justice
and It's passage is essential TO the success OF
other WI ig measures, and will prove emf
nently beneficial to the States. Old Virginia
needs her quota of or 100000 per annum,
greatly. 1t would enable her, without bur-
denlng her citizens, to perfect all her great
improvements, and establish system Of COM
mon schools, which will difiIuse light and
knowledge into every dark corner of the
Commonwealth. More positive and lasting
good would probably result from this bill,
than from any other one which has engaged
the attention Of the present Congress-. lie,
it pass, by all means.-Whag.
