THE LopR's PGAYER.--I remember,

THE LopR's PIAYER.--I remember,
on one occasion, travelling in this coun-
try with companion who possessed
some knowledge Of medicine: we had
arrived at door, near which we were
about to pitch our tents, when crowd
of Arabs surrounded us, cursing and
swearing at the '.rebellers against
Cod" My friend, who spoke a little
Arabic, turning round to an elderly
person, whose garb bespoke him a
priest said, "Who taught you that we
were disbelievers: Here my daily
prayer, and judge for yourselyes:" ne
then repeated the Lords Prayer. All
stood amazed and silent until the priest
exclaimed, "May God curse me if ev-
er curse again those who hold such
belief; nay more, that prayer shall be
my prayer till my hour be, come. !
pray the, oh Nazarene, repeat the pray
er, that it may be remembered and
written amongst US in letters Of gold. ="

IMPROVED PIN MACHINE -Messrs.
Brown and Elton, Waterbury, (Ct)
have in operation an improved ma
chine for the manufacture Of Pins,
which turns out Gas we are informed
by gentleman recently from that
place. two barrels Of pins day. The
machine is WONDERFULLY curious-per-
feet and simple in its operation. The
wire is run into the machine from 9
reel, cut to the requisite length, pointed
and headed, and made a finished pin
From this machine they fall into the
hopper Of the Sticking Machine, as i
is called. in which, by some dia6!erie
they are arranged and stuck upon thu
papers, and come out perfect, only re
curing TO be packad to be ready 70,

by one girl, will do the work Of thirt!
persons by the old hand process. w
have said that two barrels of pins ar
made day. A barrel contains 1000,
900 pins, consequently 100000 o
pins are manufactured in this little ma
chine each day--suflicient to furnish
one pin day for every female in thu
United States! There are four Other
machines in operation in the country
but they probably do not turn out at
equal number per day TO the Waterbu
nv machine. This we are told is M
exaggeration, but the sober truth. We

session of which place, Mr.. Cushing
says, the English Government has re-
Gently acquired very important mill

bia, near to the Straits Of Babel-Ma
del, which commands the Red Sea and
the Sea of Arabia, as Gibraltar does
the Mediterranean and a portion of the
Atlantic.-Aden is even more than
Gibralter, a castle Of natures own con-
strncticn.' At Gibralter England has
excayated for herself a citadel in the
heart Of limestone mountain; at Alden
she has planted herself in an ancient
crater, and sits secure within the pri-
meval fortress formed by the lofty
sides Of an extinct volcano.

THE DYING WIFE.-There is an az
fecting passage in one of the letters of
Mrs. Grant Of Laggan, recently pub
lished, describing the death of Mrs.
Brunton, author of "Self-Control,"
"Discipiine," sc. Being fora long
time without an offspring, she signal
lied herself by her tender care of the
forlorn and helpless children OF others.
At length, after being ninteen years
married, her only earthly wish seemed
about to be granted. "Why," says
Mrs. Grant, ''shouId I tell you Of our
hopes and joys on this occasion? After
three days Of great suffering, she gave
birth 10 stillborn child. She insisted
on seeing it, held its hand, and said
the feeling this hand has caused to
my heart will never leave it, Shortly
after, a relative came in, and spoke
tenderly Of her loss. There was Moth
ing so dear TO me as my child she re-
piled, 'aad make MY Saviour welcome
10 it, She 'sorrowed most Of ALL as
she lay upon her death bed, for her be-
reaved husband; thinking sadly with
the tender English poet:
'Half could bear, meihiHks, TO leave this Garth,
And thee, more loved than aught beneath the sun,
If had lived TO smile but on the birth
OF one dear PLEDGE and shall there be none
In future times, no gentle little one
TO clasp thy neck, and look resembling me = :"

He will bring upon thr anvil the prominent principles involved in the pendin, presidential contest, and will no doubt hammer out great deal of sound whg doctrine. The whgs in the ncighboring towns should instantly enter upon the business of concocting measures to ensure the attendance of all who are disposed 10 givea dispassionate COTS era
 ton 10 the topics which have bearing on the question of the presidency, and who are anxious for the prosperity of our common country and the -perpctuity of onr free institutions Recollect!- !- Wings! that only two short months will brirg IS to the decision of the issue. We should enter in. stan'Iy upon the work of preparation, and by emu. laing the glorious example of the whigs of other states, maintain the exalted ground which we as. sumcd on the first Monday of April last. and give the vote of cold Connccticut," by triumphant majority, for Henry Clay, a sound currency, good protectiys tariff, and a liberal. just and patriotic administration of public affairs, and in opposition to Folk, free trade and Texas. ..

LET EVERY MAN BEAR THE HOUR IN MIND, and be there in season.! And as the stag.nant proceedings of the polkites in village are found to sit heavily on the stomaa4s Of the more sober minded among 'hem' they are invited to join our company and partako with us on that day of the pure principles of the Democratic Whig party, and find relief. A single draught will prove most salutary in their case, and repeated applications will cause them to triumph all the evil effects of Locofocoism, in the brief space of two months.

LOCO TOGO FAILURE.

We clearn from the Norwich Courier,that the mass meeting at hat city on Monday was template fail ure. Flaming handbils had been sent abroad far and near. calling upon the democracy to rally for Young Hickory, Dallas and Victory"-but instead of the thousands that had been anticipated
 only few Hundreds came. The procession was counted at two points by different gentlemen-one made the number 75j--he other 7a5. The Cour- fer states it their deliberate conviction, that the number of Loco Focos on and around the stand oc- cupied by the speakers, would not at any time, during the day, amount to more than 1909, and they doubt, very much, whether it was upward of 1000. When it is recolected that, in Norwich alone, there are sir Hundred Loco Foco pole,s, it will be pretty easy matter to decide about what amount of enthusiasm must have pervaded the Loco Foco ranks of New London County to bring together, in County .1fcss Contention, only Jour h,nsdred more persons than a,e to be found in the Loco Foco party of that single townl

 The great Mass Convention for Hartford County. which was to redeem the State, and seal the fate of Henry Clay, came off yesterday. Alter the circu- lar of the State Committee, calling upon the party to render these Conventions "egual ip numbers and bold enthusiasm 10 ony eUCr held " he State' anc the reiterated appeals of the Times 10 their friends to rally in their strength, supposed they would at least be able to getup respectable meet ing as Jar as numbers aceTe cOncerned--but we were rnstaken-it was the most sorry affair we ever witnessed. Up to near 10 o'clock, there was nothing unusual to be seen in onr streets. except the hucksters' stands around the Court House. About that time several delegations made their ap- pearance. That from Glastonbury, which was to come in 6O or 100 wagons, occupied g, and num- bered only tfty-One persons, for We counted them. The delegations from Suffleld, Windsor, Endfield, and other towns which had joined on, (that from Suiheld was also to come in 80 or 100 wagons. ! were counted as they arrived and found to amount to 190 persons. These, with Glastonbury, we are confident, composed about one half ofthose present belonging to the county.
 The Convention was organized in the City Hall Samuel G. Huntington, Esq of Hartford, presi- ding. We are informed that at no period was the Hall more than two-thirds filled. Al 12 o'clock. when Mir. Toucy was speaking, the number in the Hall, on the steps, and around the building was counted, and amounted to just FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR! This included the dele gation from Springfield, and portion of our own citizens, some of whom were Whigs. Between and o'clock, the Convention concluded 10 make their weakness still more visible, by adoufning to the State House Square. Accordingly, with Band of Music at their head they commenced moving The regular procession numbered about I5OVthe remainder became confused, and went on to the ground like sheep without leader.

When assembled in the Souare. they were not more in numbers thon we frequently have at one of our City Whig meetings.
 The distinguished men from out of the State that were expected to address the meeting. wer not present. We heard none of the speeches. but learn that the speakers declared the great and im portant issue before the country to be United States Bank, throwing into the shade the true is sues of Protective Tariff and the Annexation of Texas These they dare not meet and fairly discuss. The Convention: as a whole was probably the most cold and spiritless affair that has ever taken place m the State. We were not aware that our ! opponents felt so little interest in the electon-l Like their brethren in Vermont who eannet make | np ther minds to go for Texas and Free Trade, | many of them have doubtless concluded to vote with the Whigs or stay away from fhe polls.

I Further Outrage on he Helder6erg-Ve learn
 that Sheriff Battleman, while on his way through the Western part oE RensselaerviIle, on Saturday morning, about four miles west of the village was setupon and badly treated by large party of Tndi. ans. We have some particulars which we give as related to us.
 The Sheriff was accompanied by three of his deputies, Leonard, Estenhout, and another, having some legal process to serve. He was himself arm- cd with two of Colt's revolving pistols, and his deputies had arms-two rifles and three pistols Unexpectedly, the usual signal was heard, (the blowing of horn) and immediately several men. disguised as Indians, arrested his progress and de- handed to know his business. The Shereff declin- ed giving them any information, but told them to go about their own.
 There was some further barley, when the Sheriff, oeng resisted in his efforts to get on put his hands Denind him to get his pistols, when he was seized by the gang which had now increased to sixty men, and dlsarmed. as were also his deputies. They then secured the Sheriff by tying his hands behind hlu--and gave him coat of tar and feathers.- The deputies were at first threatened with the same treatment; but upon consultation it was determin- cd that fl th<y would solemenly promise to take the Sheriff back to town precisely in the condition ne was, they would release them from punishment or harm. The promise was made. of courseand the party returned fbeing relieved after com ing some three miles.
 hisstated, that upon their departure, the chief of the gang called for thearms that had been taken rom the party, in order to restore them to theirs owners but they could not be found save one Dis. to1, which wes returned
