In this village on Friday morning, 9th inst. Mr..
Arson WALDO, aged IS years.
Last season, he emigrated from Williamstown,
Vermont; where he had lived for many years, to
close up the evening of his days with his son Royal
b. Waldo, merchant of this place. His widow has
parted with kind husband, children an affection
ate parent and our community with an exemplary
christian. Having retired from all the active cares
of life, and with the nirmties of years fast steal
inc upon him, he commingled but little in active
scenes Hence but few were made acquainted with
his real worth. He died as he lived, tranquil and
serene With composure seldom evinced in the
last hours Of life, he adjusted his temporal matters,
gave instructions for his funeral and selected
the HYMNS and named the tunes he wished sung.
Having long sought, he has now found the pill

GREAT FLIGHT OF BIRDs.-There was
a tremendous storm Of lightning and thun-
der last night, commencing at about nine
O'Clock and continuing till near daylight.
During the prevalence of the storm vast
number Of birds were flying over the city,
which, from the noise they made, are sup
posed to be of the plover species. The
flight continued for several hours; and un-
less the birds flew round and about, there
must have been myriads Of them-for in
all parts OF the city, and, in every direct
ion, the noise they made was heard. We
have not heard it suggested by any one
where they came from, or whittier they
were going-whethcr they were waited
here by the storm, or whether they were
on their regular annual passage. Those
who have any information to give upon the
subject, would crafty many curious in such
matters By laying il before the public.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that severalof those birds have been caught
Two Of them took shelter in the police Of
flee, where they may now be seen. They
are very beautiful bird, about the size Of
a robin, having grayish plumage and are
exceeding wild and restless. We hear Of
9th RS having been caught in several houses
in the city. TBaltimorePat.

There is alternative even now, scarcely but direct
taxation. The ruin brought upon commerce during
the last year has so far destroyed the revenues that the
coming Congress must take some vigorous measures to
restore affairs. Those who oppose modification oil
The Tariff, with viewoto increase the revenue, must
stand before the country the advocates OF direct fe
deral taxation. The lower House OF Congress is OF
that cast of party which is in favor of equal laws, and
purely revenue Tariff The Senate are OF opposite
views Hence, the question vii at the coming session
probably be brought directly to issue, viz reduction
of the Tariff to meet the wants of the Treasury, or
the imposition of direct taxes. Few politicians, we
apprehend on the eve of Presidential election, will
feel disposed to advocate the latter course. Hence
there some chance that commerce may be relieved
from the letters which now bind it.
