of about three thousand dollars With
the advice aud counsel Of friends, he
purchased n sweet little white cottage,
that was en,bosomed within beautiful
grove, abonl one fourth ofa mile from The
| village. This beautiful cottage aud it,
enchantments, Amanda had looked upon
in her days OF adversely, as inaccessible
10 her, as the gardens OF ilesperidos, but
now il was her own, and her heart swellcd
up with gratitude TO God, that he had
given her back her husband, "cloihed
in his right mind !" and that health and
happiness were again theirs.
Their cottnge was furnished with the
utmost neainess and simplicity. They
studied convenience and comfort, al
though the luxury Of small, but well se-
lected library, was almost the first thing
introduced in their new abode, from
which Alberton drew every evening n
rich treasure of knowledge, which he
difiused through bis family by reading 10
them, and answering any question that
curiosity or interest proposed /; and en-
planning to his children what they did
not understand thus giving them the
best and most ready instruction. These
he proudly confessed were the happiest
moments of his life.
When The shades OF evening had de-
sccnded and rested upon the earth, and
he was seated in his snug little paIlor
with his family gathered around him, all
engaged in some useful employment
for they had learned the sweets of indus
! Itry-he could feast on classical lore, and
impait its richness to the dear objects OF
his love and when kneelng at the FAINT
ly altar, he would fcrvenily thank the
"Giyer of all Good" that he had given
him n capacity for so much enjoyment.
We must not forget TO mention that
the first child Of their love, the beautiful
and anecllonato Ellen, was not forgotten
in this season Of their Joy. She had re-
turned TO make glad the hearts Of her
parents, and to help ill the measure Of
their joy. Alberton lived again below
ed and respected, and Was entrusted
with many public offices Of responsibility,
the duties Of which he faithfully dischnrg-
ed. Nor should it be forgotten that he
became one Of tho most eloquent and
successful pleaders oflhc cause that had
raised him from degradation TO his pres
enl standing that had placed him IN the
paths of virtue and happiness.
And thus, through the fundamentally
IofFAITuFUL AND DEVOTED WOMAN, crown
ed by the blessing OF God, was he consti-
tuted the happy means of sending JOY and
gladncss to many nngushed hearts, by
turning the wanderer from the error of
his ways, and preventing a multitude OF

J. Shelley, J. G. Keep, Z. A. Harris, and s.
w. Pcckham were stopped on the highway
near Chcpnchet, last Wednesday evening, by
some Of DORIS armed ruiians. The two lat
ter were met by patrol on horseback, abou,
IA quarter of mile from the village. One 0l
the patrol immediately started for the village,
nnd sixteen men, with mnskctS, stopped the
chaise in which Mcssrs Harris and Peckham
were riding; one OF them Jumped upon the
steps and exclaimed, "thcy are damned land
holders let's arrest them" At this, the
party pointed their muskcts ut them, their
arms were taken from them, aud they were
carried TO Sprague's tavern. where, with the
two first named, (vho were arrested at the
tavern their hands were bound behind them
with cords, and the foIr were marched on foot
to Woonsocket, twelve miles distant, under q
guard Of thirty men. Half Of this distance
they were marched with their hands tied be.
hind them. At Woonsocket, they were put
IN barn, and supplied with food. In the
morning they were liberated, il is supposed

with which he was repeatedly pricked, until,
being faint and absolutely unable to 90 on.
he was thrown into n Wagon. The others

march. Mr.. Shelley did not arrive IN the
city till afternoon, having been detained on
ccount OF his injuries. lie is still seriously
IL, and suffering severely from the inhunan
treatment which he received.
1t is to be considered that the men upon
whom this outrage was committed, were not
accused Of any offence, even according Ia
DORIS constitution, nor were they arrested
by any warrant or other authority. The only
charge against them was, that they were
"damncd landboJers."
Another OF tho men engaged in the attempt
To steal the Warren guns, has been arrested

Committee of The Home League, located in New
York, busiIy engaged in collecting information
and furnishing il To the Committee of Manuac-
lures to aid them in making up their report, (which

MIR. Stuart of Va. presented to Congress a few
days since memorial in favor OF protection, and
moved that it be referred and printed, which mo-
lion opposed by the body of the locofocos, but
was carried, 81 to GO.
The delay to net upon the Tariff we consider a
favorable ndcation--(or il gives time to the coun.
try to arouse and demand what it wants And
further, the efforts of the Northern Wings to bring
into the support of Tariff, those of their Southern
brethern who have acted heretofore with the Nor.
thern locolocos, promise to be successful They
are strongly backed up i'll their noble efforts by the
Southern Wing Press. If successful in this, we
shall have Tariff at this session, in despite of the
efforts of the locofocos prevent it,by their union
with the South. The prospects for few weeks
have been continually Frightening.
