DIED,

AT Delavan, Walworth County on the - inst,
(ast week,) Col. HENRY PHOENIX. The deceased
was among the early settlers of this Territory and
very prominent citizen of Waworh County. The
deceased and his brother S F. Phoenix (who died
little over one year ago) Were the original found
ers of the Village of Delavan. They were gentle
men of wealth and used their extensive pecuniarv
means literally for the spread of science, morality
and religion The village of Delavan is among
the most Hourishing in Walworh County; and one
peculiarly has marked the town, which cannot be
said of any other town of equal population in the
whole West. 1t is this-Not drop of ardent spi-
rts has been sold, or seen to be drank in
Delavan, since the settlement of the place. This
fact in the history of Deavan, is entirely owing to
influence and precautionary measures, of the late
deceased Col Phoenix and his brother The loss
which Delavan and the Territory has sustained
will long be remembered.

The GRAVE YARD. Why not plant our
graveyard with young trees! Why not
ry to render II cheerful and attractive
place for every body? Why not have the
very chamber of death itself made cheer
lui and attractive, with greenness, and
flowers, and sunshine, and fresh airl Why
should our children be brought up to quake
al The bare mentlon Of their inevitable des-
tiny! Why not teach them TO live If they
can--to die if they must-but to do both
cheerfuliy and manfuIIy Are we never to
throw Off that insuppor,a5le fear of death,
which If ltsetties upon the heart for day,
settles there forever? Death is terrible at
best; why make it more so than we need?
Were we to speak of it more freely than
we do; were we TO ranole over church
yards, with feeling worthy Of grown
hearts, We should be the wiser and better
Tor every steady look we wore in the pre-
sence-chamber Of death.

SINGULAR.-The Baltimore Sun relates the fol-
lowing suspicious circumstance as having occurred
last week, near Lancaster Pa. A gentleman ha-
wing considerable money with him. left that city
alone in a carriage for Havre de Grace. He soon
overlook woman with basket on her arm, and
allowed her to ride with him at her request He
soon suspected that the person was man in dis
gulse, and as they were coming near piece of
woods he became anxious to get rid of his compa-
mon. lie therefore accordingly dropped his hat,
and could not stop his horse until it was some dis
lance behind With considerable hesitation his
companion, at his request, went back for the hat
and, watching his chance, he gave his horse the
relns, drove through the woods, and on reaching
the first house opened the basket, and found within
pair of pistols we'll loaded and tin whistle The
inference was plain, and in view of his escape he
pocketed the pistols and the loss of his hat with
great pleasure.

INTERESTING Law CAsE.-The Wash
ington Correspondent of the Boston Atlas
says that an interesting case is now on tri
al in the Supreme Court, arising out Of the
following facts: A gentleman residing in
Maryland had allowed an aged pair Of his
slaves substantial though not legal free
dom for several years. While thus living,
q daughter was born to them, who grew up
in the same liberty, until she married
free negro and went with him to reside in
Pennsylvania. They had several children
and lived unmoested until the original own
er died, when his heir attempted to regain
them; but the magistrate before whom they
were brought decided that he had no iuris-
dicton in the case. The owner seized the
woman and her children in the night, and
carried them to Maryland, for which he
was indicted and demanded by the Cover
nor of Pennsylvania Of the Maryland Elk
ecutive. A correspondence ensued, which
finally brought the case into the Supreme
Court--M Y. Tribune.

beautiful, accomplished, and an heiress--
Her step-lather required references from

all of which spoke highly Of him; but from
this package il was afterwards discovered,
letters from an eminent American then in
France, had been distracted, which would,
II they had been received, have placed him
in such light as to prevent the unhappy
consequences to her and her family
They were married, and in four or five
months 1t was discovered that he had COM
mttcd a forgery to a large amount. He
fled to New Orleans, and thence to France
in the forccaSto OF ship, thus aiming n
deadly blow a. the happiness Of his affec-
Tomato wife and her unborn child And it
was afterwards discovered from letters IN
his apartments, that he had come from
France engaged in a conspiracy to perpe
trate forgeres to large amount. Two
years have passed and nothing has been
heard from him. And this divorce was
brought aud granted, (by vote of 35 to
