LORD ELDoN's F~ULFILMENT OF A PROMISE
In 1888, when Mr.. Scott, afterwards Lord
Eldon, first became a candidate for the bo.
rough of Weobly, he was received and lodged
in the house of Mr.. Bridge, the vicar, who
having a daughter then a young child, took 4
~jocular promise from him, that if he should
ever become a chancellor, and the little girls
husband should be a clergyman, the chancel-
Tor would give that clergyman a living. Now
comes the sequel, partly relatedby Lord EIdon
himself to his niece, Mrs. Foster.
/" Years rolled on | came into office, when
one morning, ] was told a young lady wished
TO speak to me-; and | said young ladies' must
be attended to, SO they must show her up.
And up came a very pretty young lady, and
%curtsied and simpered and said she thought /
could not r~ecoilect her. ANSWERED | certain
ly could not, but perhaps she could recall her
self to my memory. So she asked III remem-
bered the clergyman at Weobly, and his little
girl to whom | had made a promise.
"Oh; yes - | said, g do and | suppose
yon arc the little girle"
She curtsied, and said /" Yes"
" AND l suppose you are married to a cler-
gyman.
" No. she said, and she blushed; " am
only going TO be married to one, If you, nv
lord, will give him a living"
( Well, | told her to come back in a few.
days and | made inquiries to ascertain from
bishop Of the diocess that the gentleman
she was going to be married 10 was a respec-
table clergyman of the Church Of England
and then | looked at my list and I found I ac-
had a living vacant that | could give
him. So when the young lady came back, /
told her she might return home and get mar
ried as fast as she liked, for her intended hus-
band should be presented to a living, and
would send The papers as soon as they could be
made out.
"0h, noi'' she exclaimed, and again she
limpeled, and blushed and eurtsled: "pray.
ny lord, let metake them back myself"

MR. EDITOR, a' '' .ti Dear Sir:-Our Whigs held last evening large and enthusiastic meeting notwithstanding the inclemancy of the weather, and organized '' Clay Club" with disappointment of the follow ing officers, viz: t..va
 E. Darlington, President
 Eno. Esa WaIts' ssss, Suoe Presidents,
 A. Phelps Jr., Recording Secretary.
 R. Rockwell, Corresponding Secretary.
 Hiram Sage, Treasurer.
 Some stirring speeches were made by the mem- bers, and some Whig songs sung in fine style.- There seemed to be strong determination mani- fested among our Wings to do all in their power and much eau and will be accomplished. .. Though we have for long time been small minority, we intend to be at least respectable one.-P. '''

FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.

We know of no interest to which the preservation of the present Tariff is more important than the agricultural. This is particularly true of New England. How can we carry on farming in com petition with the vast West unless we can furnish good home market. Recollect that many of the articles which are consumed in our manufac- turing villages such as hay wood, coal, vegetables
 fresh meats Sc. will not bear transportation from the west. Let these villages be put down and the clatters of machinery senced and nothing will re- main for our farmers but to scramble with the west for the New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore markets where they will be sure to find agut and a limited compensation in prices for all their toll. Farmers of Litchfeld County See that no Perry Smith is put into the U. s. Senate (by the next Legslature) to vote for repeal our Excellent Tariff. 0.a f.-. ... If..-

DR. HAwEs.-We are happy to learn, (says the Hartford Courant of this morning) by letters just receiveds that Dr Hawesfeached Smyrna, in good health, about the first of December last He left the Stamboul, at Malta, on the 17th of November, and proceeded thence toAthens, where he passed a few days; and then went over to smyrna. It was his intention to remain at this latter place about three weeks, and then visit Constantinople. A letter written by the Dr at Athens, and which probably more fully details his voyege and future plans, has not yet been received, having been for wafded by the way of FmMce.

On Thursdry evening last, the 25th, The Clay Club met at the Town Room pursuant to adjourn. ment Notwithstanding the intense cold there wa. a very full attendance.
 MT. Hollister delivered an address on the life character, ,and public services of Henry Clay. Du- ring an hour and half Mr. H. held the undivided attention of the audience. He portrayed in most able and masterly manner the early struggles and the subsequent elevation and political career of the distinguished subject of his address. On its con- cluson, ,the President introduced Tracy Peck, Esq. President of the Clay Club lately organized at Brs- tol MT. P. gave cheering information of the pro- gress of sound principles in that town and through out the county of Hartford. ..... ....
 Capt Strong delegate from the Woodbury Clay Club, was then introduced, and favored the associ. ation with some very interesting and entertaining observations r. .a .s.
 MT. Bacon was then requested to describe the personal appearance and the manners of Mir. Clay at Ashland; to this call Mir. B. responded in some highly eloquent and impressive remarks.
 Messrs. Hollister and Johnson were then appoint ed delegates to attend the Woodbury Clay Club After few general remarks from MT. Basset of Milton, the meeting adjourned.
 We believe we express the united feelings of the numerous audience when we say that the only sen- timent was one of entire satisfaction and delight with ike performances ef the eve'siag. The next meeting of the Club will be held at Wcstover's tavern in Bradeyville, on Thursday the sth of Feb ruary, at halfpast P. M. ---- --.

00- We last week accidently omitted to notice the Concert given at the Town Hall by the PLY- MOUTH BRASS BAND; an commission which it is both duty and pleasure for us to supply.
 Owing to the inclemency of the evening, the at- tendance, though respectable in point of members and character, was not as full as we could have de- sired, nor as it would have been under more favor- able circumstances. The performances were, how ever, exceedingly interesting, and the selection and execution of the various pieces were in the highest degree credtable to the taste and talent of the performers. 7'r'.2 '" ai7''
 We cannot refrain from expressing the hope that the Band will soon again favor our citizens with another exhibition of their musical skill.

MR. EDiToR.-For number of years past there has been scarcely member of the Enquirer but what has contained more or less from those, who poor cause that will not bare the test of scrutiny :- and as large portion of the community are fully of the opinion that the manner in which the cause of temperance is carried on by those who claim to be it's advocates sets both reason and revelation at manifest defiance, and having full confidence in the liberaity of your sentiments, have taken the lib- erty torequest that your columns may be opened to receive few hints and reasons for our believing as we do. In the first place an attempt to dictate to men under a free government like ours what they shall eat or drink, or wherewithal they shall be clothed, in direct violation of all moral and reli- Ous liberty, and attempt to force upon the pub lie total abstinence principles, to refrain from all Intoxicating drinks, is to make the traditions of men the rule of faith and setting the Scripture at manifest defiance and say it without the fear of being contradcted that doctrine of this sort can- not be warranted from any portion of the sacred writings and further add that he who claims to be temperate ought to be temperate in all things. Of all the worst sorts of intemperance islander is the worst' and for men to islander their neighbors, who to say the least about it, are as good as them selves, for not conforming to their notions of right and wrong is without all excuse .,f.,~'i.-,
 And this is not the worst of it. How many of our Clergy are engaged in this wholesale slander and abuse, who ought in all concence to be better employed Among the many passages of Scripture which might be brought in support of our position is the second chapter of John where Christ made large quantity oi wine to be drank as a common beverage This think is sufficient to all our pur poses at present.

ANOTHER STREET ASSASSIN NArloN.-The Au- gusta (Ga) Chronicle, of Tuesday, states that, on the preceding day Edward w. Collier, proprietor of the Richmond Hotel, was assassinated in the street by man named Robert Burns runner for another hotel. Mr. Collier it seems was in waiting at the depot of the Georgia Railroad for the train. On its arrival, two passengers accompanied Mir. Collier towards the hotel, when Burns ran after them, to induce them to go to the United States Hotel, for which he was runner. Some words passing between him and MT. Collier, Burns rush. ed upon the latter and stabbed him twice to the heart. Of course the unfortunate man died in- stantly The Mayor offers areward of $500 for the arrest of the offender, who is thus described =: (. About 5 feet 10 inches high, between 35 and 40 years old, light blue eyes, nclining to grey, little baid, and thick set" s'.@ i,]
 We understand that the Hon. Daniel Webster has formed law partnership with Edward s.
