MR.. ADAMS.

This venerable statesman is now on his re-
turn from his visit to the west. The limits of
our paper have not allowed us, and we shall
probably seldom suffer more from this restriction,
to give the various addresses Of Mr.. Adams in
reply 10 the numerous kind greetings and invita-
tons he has received on his journey. We have
read them all, and they exhibit, uniformly, a
feature which chancterizes the sentiments Of
no other public man of this day. The phan-
thropy and piety Of Mr.. Adams are felt to be
sincere. He is too near the grave TO suffer any
mere earthly considerations to check the utter
ance Of sentiments which lie nearest his heart
Nothing is more touching than the warmth of
the blessings which he bcstows upon those who
crowd to see him. We cannot doubt that a
heallh(ul moral tone will long pervade the for
tunate society who dwell upon and near the
track of the good old mans journey

DEATH.

Died yesterday evening, at half past S o'clock,
Mrs. CHARLOTTE GAIT, wife of Mr.. THOMAS
GAIT, Of this city. In this melancholy event, two
Of the great epochs Of life marriage and death
were brought into fearful proximity for in brief
week. the bridal robe has been changed for the fune-
raj shroud. Who but must sympathize with the be-
reaved mourner? .
Her funeral will take place tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock, from the residence of Mr. Club on 9th
street. which the friends Of the family respect
fully invited.
