world simply to say, Insanity the only work ofthe
kind in the United States, or perhaps in the known
world, founded on general observation and truth.
"There are other books which treat on Insanity, but
none written by an insane This contains short
history of the authors case-givng the general caus
es which produced the disease on him individually
the manner of treatment and termination of the dis
ease" &c. The authors personal history will be read

ton.

ucatIon, the Mind, Insanity, &c. &c.
This is miscellaneous collection comprising vari-
of interest besides those alluded under
the above general heads.

Hsied,

In this place, on Sunday evening
last, Mr.. PHILIP WILLIAMS, SEM, IN
the 10th year of his age.
The deceased had been in feeble
health for several months, and gradual
ly declined, under the infrmities Incl
dent to old age, until his death. By
this dispensation of the wise and un-
erring Disposer of events, the commu-
nifty has been deprived of one Gifts most
upright and virtuous members, and a
large circle of con6ding relatives of one
whose proyerbial kindness and pater-
ma! affection rendered him the object
of their tenderest regard. Few men,
perhaps, have lived among us, who
have been more universally beloved,
and who have SO richly merited the
esteem and goodwill Of all who knew
him. i may be said with truth, that
none knew him but to respect him.
He was worthy member Of the Epis-
copal Church for many years, and died
in the full assurance of that Immortality
of bliss, which along can flow from that
religion which had been his brightest
ornament during his long and useful
life, and his sure and abiding consola-
ton in death. He went down to the
grave at good old age, and Ais works
do follow him.
Mr.. W. had been Clerk for the coun-
ty of Shenandoah for about fifty-five
years; and such. was the fidelity with
which he discharged the arduous du-
ties ofthat Office, that he possessed the
undimirished confidence ofthe people
up to the time of his retirement.
Thus has fallen, one whose public
life was unimpeachable, whose private
character was above reproach, and
whose sterling virtues and religious de-
meanor reflect an imperishable lustre
around his memory.
In this county, on Thursday last ,.af-
ter protracted and painful illness,
Mrs. MARIA HorTEL, consort of Mr..
Jacob Hotel, and daughter Of Mr.. j.
Bussebarger-aged about l9yea's.
On Saturday last, in this county,

Mr.. Frederick Hotel, and daughter OF
