FOURTEEN DAUGHTERS.

| -eSe-
FOURTEEN DAUGHTERS.
! A correspondent of the New Haven
Courier, writing from the village OF
Leesville, gives the following account
of Connecticut family:-But the most
interesting thing about Leesville is,
that it is the birthplace of fourteen
daughters To say the fourteen
daughters,' or one of the fourteen
daug hters, would require no explana-
ton here, or in amy part of Middle
sex county, but with you it may not
be quite so plain, l will explain.
In the largest and most commodious
house in the village resides Mr.. Whit
more, who is the father of fourteen
daughters. He never had a son.
The youngest daughter is now about
- years old. Twelve ofthe daughters
have been married, and twelve are now
living. What is little singular, eve
ry one of the daughters was married in
regular rotation, that is, the Oldest first,
and SO on. The father was heard jok-
ingly to remark, 4 will have no
picking in my family-you must take
they come - s
The daughters have ever sustained
a high character for their many virtues
and good qualifications, and make as
exemplary wives as dutiful daughters.
All the twelve married respectable
worthy men, and have been peculiarly
blessed in the marriage relation
When the las: child was born, Mr..
Whitmore was SO disappointment that
it was not a son, that he wept like
child. Although the old gentleman
was not blessed with son, he has ma
ny grandsons, and will probably have
scores of them.
4 Conundyum.-That every species
of writing may do good, and that a
strong impression of moral or religious
sentiment on the mind of youth may be
lasting as life, is strikingly exemplifed
by the following fact =
A gentleman formerly of Philadelphia,
advanced in age, and who had been
much in what is called the world, re-
lates of himself, that at the age OF eleven
or twelve years, he went for the first
time to London-hearing person cry
ing coa,asasdrums through the streets,
and never having heard the word be-
fore, he supposed that conumd,ums
were something good to eat. He ac-
cordingly stopped the cner and asked
for a conuudruna; when, to his great
surprise and disappointment, a little
book was offered him. Ashamed of
his ignorance and error, which he wish
ed to conceal, he bought She book and
hasted off as fast as possible. AS soon
as he got to his lodgings, he was curl
Gus to know what a conuaada11na meant.
He opened his book, and found that
comundruma first was as follows:
Why is profane swearing like al
ragged coat? Answer-Because it is
a bad habit" This made such an i'm.
preston on his mind, that amid all the
temptations to which he has been ex-
posed, he affirms that he has not sworn
profanely from that day TO the present.
Maythe reading of the anecdote prevent
or correct "a bad habit in others.

The report of the committee on itinerancy

ing session.
The following gentlemen were received into

The following gentlemen were elected to
Deacohs orders: Henry d. Moore, Henry Ro-

The Rev, James Elderdcc was elected to

The Rev. Abel Mitchell was elected to Dea-
cons orders and left in the hands of the Prosi-
dent.
Several applications to be admitted into the
tinerancy were on the recommendation of the
committee on itinerancy and orders, left in
the hands ofthe President for his action.
The Rev. Alfred Baker asked for, and re-
ceived supernumerary relation to the Confer
ence.
At this stage of the proceeding, land before
all the recommendations from the committee
on itinerancy and orders had been disposed Of

The business of the day Gf published) would
be of hut little interest to our readers, as the
whole session was principally occupied in re-
ceiving reports from ministers relative to the
Conference collections taken up in their respec-
tive circuits and stations. A small portion of
the session was devoted to an examination of
the statistics Of the church. What little de-
bate has sprung up in the Conference so far
has been characterised by the most Christian |
spirit, which we hope may continue throughout
their protracted session. The Conference ad-
journed about one o'clock, to meet again this

ceeded to other moral combinations, and threw
such sunshine over the picture, as soon dried
mp those decoy symbols of inward emotion. He
in fact led the sensibilites off into region,
where he took the liberty of shaking them with
such hts OF laughter, as seemed almost to awak-
en- doubt of the identity of the man, who had
swung through the whole octave of human
emotion, with Il versatility of conception and a
rapidity of execution truly surprising. There
sat grave dvines-astute lawyers-acute ply
slcians-calcuating merchants-younga and ca
ger clerks-dgnitied matrons-bea utiful maid
cns-stern fathers. and fond mothers-garru-
ous boys, and sprightly glrls-plain mechanics,
and rough electromagnetic wine-drinkers,
and shabby tlpers,-and if there be any other
condition OF humanity, it had its representa-
tives,-all under the spell of this young char
mer, who charmed so wisely; alternately ele-
waited by the grand, thrilled with the horrible,
dissolved with the tender, enchanted with the
beautiful, and all this without plan or pur-
pose on the part of the speaker, except to try to
rescue the fallen from the pit and the mire of
intemperance, and invigorate the principles of
those who stand on firm ground. His testimo-
ny is that of deep and bitter sufferer under
this wo. The sentiments he utters come from
the depths of heart once riven with the re-

in that intelligent and patriotic commonwealth.
love too, to hear him speak of his mother, so
poor, yet so pous: wandering exile in this
world, yet engraving unalterable truths and I'M
dying recollections on the memory's heart of
her fond and only son; himself launched on the
rough sea of this world unprotected and unpro-
visioned, driven about by its storms, finally
stranded on the rocks of incompetence, and at
the last gasp ofhis evered and fitful life snatch
ed as ifby miracle from the jaws ofan untime-
ly grave and the horrors of miserable suicide
1t is fine picture thus far developed in the
character of this youth, that the excess of his
popularity does not seem to have impaired that
inward sense of humiliation in the review of his
past life, which along with his gratitude for re-
deeming mercy he expects to carry with him
to the repose of the grave.

FIRST BRANCH
FIRST BRANCH.

The President laid before the branch Il COM

counsellor, in answer to an order asking his
opinion in reference to the liability of the stool;
ofcertain city banks to taxation, and explana-
tory OF the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
upon that subject. Read and ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. Browning called up the bill from the
Second Branch prohibiting the smoking of Sc
CARS and pipes upon the streets. 1t was reject
ed
Mr. Purviance called up resolution appro-
priating 500 for extra services rendered by
Geo. G. Belt, Esq, while acting as city coun-
sellor Passed.
Mr.. Browning called up resolution appro-
priating S2,477.O3 to the use of J. b. Seiden-
stricken, late collector, for fees on collections
for ls4l. Passed
Mr. Breck called up a resolution appropriate
ing $50 to VIM. Thomas, for placing patent
pump at the corner of Calvert and Baltimore
streets. Passed.
Mr. Hudson submitted preamble and reso-
luton providing for the insurance of property
against loss from fire by the city, Read.
Mr.. Leonard called up the preamble and re-
solution denunciatory of the action of the late
Legislature in passing the Stamp Act, the Ca
nal bill, and the bill for dividing the city into
twenty wards. The question pending being
upon the motion of Mr.. Walsh to take the
question upon the three specifications in the
preamble separately. Mr.. Leonard spoke in
strong terms of disapprobation of the action of
the Legislature, and against the division. He
thought the action in reference to the division
of the city was in violation of chartered rights,
and of every principle of propriety, political
and social. 1t might so happen that such
division would be made as to defeat the will
and wish of the dominant political party of
the city, and thus place in its councils ma
iority in opposition to them.
Mr.. Walsh considered the Stamp Act as un-
constitutional, and thought 1t would be so pro-
nounced when tested before legal tribunal;
but, in reference to the Canal bill, he could not
consent to denounce its passage, upon grounds
of principle as we'll as policy. TIE division of
the city into twenty wards, he favored, because
it would 50 divide the population as to prevent
the assembling of large masses of people about
the places of voting, deterring the religious
and quiet citizens fiom exercising the elective
franchise. He disclaimed all party feeling.
Mr.. Harker spoke in favor of the entire pre-
amble and resolution.
After some remarks, by Mr.. Purviance, in
opposition the Branch adjourned
