MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

On Wednesday afternoon last, Young gentle
man OF Polish birth was found dead in the office
OF friend. An inquest was held and verdict
OF death by his own hand rendered. The gen.
tlcman's name was Schmeng and was beliey-
ed 10 be OF noble descent He performed, in an
unfortunate struggle for his countrvs freedom,
gallant service, and bore upon his person marks
of tough contest with ga warrior fond of his
spear. We learn that, for this brave conduct,
he was banlshed, together with his family, from
his native land; and now, oppressed with the con-
hnual preyings of torture, he dies in "a strange
land the death of a suicide. There is something
revolving in the act of suicide, but cold must be
the affections of that heart that cannot Svmpa-
thze with the fallen man in the tortures, which
must precedc this desperate act. Mr.. SChmel-
ling was buried Thursday afternoon by the Order
OF the Sons OF Temperance. We should do vio-
ence to our own feelings and in Justice to the Or
der did we not aIlnde TO one peculiar circum-
stance attending this burial. The only ceremony
performed was that of the Order of the Sons of
Temperance, and we saw no minister present, save
the Chaplain Of the Order We do not say whpth-
er this absence of ministers was owing TO nel-
nation, or produced by unavoidable circum-
stances; but we merely note the fact, assign no
reason for it, and remark, that, had not the Sons
OF Temperance pronounced their PRAYERS and
sung their dlrge, he would have gone to the crave
| "unhonorcd and unSnng." We do not note this
TACT to reflect upon the ministers of our place but
do IT in us'ice to an Order which is entitled TO
credit No doubt the ministers of Lvnchburp
were fully aware that this Order would have "all
things done decently and in order

vover, and two rifles. He made shots, and
killed and wounded four or five Indians, clearing
the house. Mr.. Potter then sent Somerville and
the Frenchman, who were wounded, down TO the
landing, and soon after started for the landing

the hazel brush, and they passed on. Soon another
Indian rode close up to him on horseback, when
Mr.. p. fired upon him, but docs not know whether
