You will not of course understand me, Messrs. Ed-
tors, as meaning in any the least degree, TO detract
from the praise justly due TO Mr. Tucker for his
duct to Gen Harrison, to impair the force of Gen.
Harrison testimony in his behalf. Far, far from it
Tucker richly merits the cordial sympathy which he
received from the departed Patriot who though eleva
ted the highest station, forgot not the humbest of his
friends My only motive was to have full justice done
to both Mr. Burrows we'll as MIR. Tucker, by giving
the history the occasion which afforded Tucker the
opportunity exhibit the qualities which justly attach
ed Gen Harrison TO him. and, have said, to "ren-
der unto Cesar the things that are Cmsars,' in stat

The GROUP CURED WITH COLD WATER.
The Yankee Farmer (Boston,) mentions
several cases Of Group having been cured
by the application Of cold water; and pub
fishes an account Of two instances in the
city of Boston in which the experiment
was tried with complete success. la the
former Of these cases the patient was a
| buy three years old, who had been subs
i ect to attacks Of the disease from infancy.
The process Of the first experiment of The
kind with this child is :hus related by the
father:
About four o'clock, in the night of day
before yesterday, we were awakened from
our sleep by his distress. He was labor.
ing under a severe attack Of the Group
He brealhed with gr t difficulty, and
seemed almost sufocated. His cough
was extremely hoarse and croupy, and he
could hardly speak in whisper, and all
the symptoms grew worse rapidly.
We rose Immediately, and took him
from his bed, stript. him, ard begun to
bathe him all over with cold wafer, but
most freely about the !hro I, head and
chest, and his mother took vessel of cold
water and poured it upon the back Of his
neck and thus we continued to battle
him Till he b. came quite chilly. We then
rubbed HIM off bTiskIy till the skin was
dry and Gomewhat excited. But as there
was considerable heat in the throat, we
took a napkin, doubled it six or eight
tim !, and wet it in cold water, md then
covered this with dry cloth, and took
him into bed between his parents.
Almost Immediately, when we begun
to apply the cold water the symptoms be-
gan TO subside very fast, ard he said, with
a grateful tone, that he felt better. In
the morning, when he arose, no croupy
symptoms remained, and, after being
bathed and clothed, he went out, as usual,
to take his airing before breakfast. Yes
terday and to-day he has shown some re-
symptoms Of cold, and has moi
been so well as before the attack, but he
has played about the house, and been out
az usual, and has been incomparably bet
ter than he was after any former attack !;
and on neither Of these occasions, did the
means used afford him any thing like as
speedy relief as the cold water did on this
occasion. ahi

EMMET's LAST MoMENTs.-One day
previous to the trial, as the Governor was
going his round ,he entered Enmet's room
rather abruptly; and observing remark
able expression in his countenance he
apologized for the interruption. He had
fork affixed 10 his little deal table, and
appended to it there was tress of hair.
You see," said he to the keeper, show
tinnocently | am occupied. This little
iress has long been dear to me, and am
plating it to wear on my bosom on The
day of my execution" On the day OF
that fatal event, there was found, skNched
by his own band with pen and ink, upon
that very table, an admirable likeness of
himself, the head severed from the body,
which lay near it, surrounded by the
scaftbld, the axe and all the frightful para
phernalia Of high treason execution. -
What a strange union of tenderness, en-
thusiasm, and tortitude do not the above
traits exhibit! His fortitude, indeed, ney.
er forsook him. On the night previous to
his death he slep, as soundly as ever; and
when the fatal morning dawned he arose,
knelt down and prayed, ordered some milk
which he drank, wrote two letters, one to
his brother in America and the other to
the Secretary Of State, inclosing it, and
then desired the Sheriff TO be informed
that he was ready. When they came into
his room he said he had two requests to
make--one, that his arms might be left as
loose as possible, which was humanely s.
INSTANTLY acceded to. 81 make the other"
said he, "not under any idea that it can
be granted, but that it may he held Ia
remembrance that have made tit is
that may be permitted 10 die in my uni,
lorm."* This of course could not be all
lowed; and the request seemed to have no
other object than to show that he gloried
in the cause for which he was TO suffer-
A remarkable example Of his power over
himself and others occurred at this melan-
cholly moment. He was passing out at

his eyes in torrents. Emmett paused for
"a moment; his hands were not at liberty,
he kissed his cheek and the man who
had been an inmatewf dungeon, habitu-
ated to the scenes of horror and hardened
against their operation, fell senseless at
his feet. Before his eyes had opened

FAITH OF AN INDIAN MoTnER.-T'he
following is an extract from the third vol
ume Of Mr.. Bancroft's History.
'If mother loses her babe, she would
cover it with bark. and envelope 1t anx-
iously IN soft beaver skins; at the burial
place she would put by it's side, its cradle,i its
beads, & its rattles; d as last service of
maternal love, would draw milk from her
bosom in cup of bark, and burn it in the
fire, that her infant might still find nour-
ishment on its solitary journey to the land
Of shades. Yet the new born babe would
be buried, not as usual. on scaffold, but
by the wayside, so that its spirit might
secretly steal into some bosom Of some
passing matron, and be born again under
happier auspices. On burrying the
daughter, the Chippewa mother adds not
snow shoes, and beads, and moccasins,
only, but (sad embems Of woman's lot in
the wildernessl the carrying belt and the
paddle. 81 know my daughter will be
restored to me-" she once said, as she clip
ped lock olhair as a memorial, "by this
lock OF hair. shall discover her, for
shall take it with me,' abiding to the day
when she, too, with her carrying belt and
paddle, and the relic Of her child should
pass through the grove TO the dwelling
place Of her ancestors"

What world Of thought is called up
