DIED..


In fdis place on Saturday the 9th inst, Miss HAsSAH
c. daughter Of John and JENNA Inskeep of Hampshire
County, aged II years. An amiable and afectionate
daughter, and gentle and lovely spirit has thus net
death among strangers but goes unmourned
to be forgotten.
Mrs. Estll, whose death was announced in the las
Spectator long known to the writer of this notice
She lady who possessed much of that gentcness
and retiring modesty which amiable and bccom-
ing in her Her Divine Redecmer had also bestow.
ed her those graces Of his spirit which still more a.
dorned her character than any natural qualities could
do. She had been member Of the Presbyterian
Church for about thirty years, and continued to be
humble and consistent follower of Christ from her first
conservation of herself to his service until her DEATH
Her religion was free from everything like boastng
or osentatious display, but plainly manifested in
the steady patience and humanity of her life and con-
performance of her christian duties than in words and
professions In the fuflmcnt of her duties as
wife, mother and mistress, the writer believes; she
was most exemplary. Her children may well console

The Gardiner Case.

The Committeeof the House of Representatives
appointed to investigate the connexion of Secreta
ry CoRwIN with the GARDINER claim, have made
report generating him from all blame. The
claim was for indemnity under the Mexican Trea,
ty for losses sustained during thewar, and was al
lowed by the late Board of Commissioners. Mr.
CoRwIN was connected with the case as council
and as part owner of fourth of the claim but ten
months before the awards made, and previous
to his acceptance of the office of Secretary of the
Treasury, he disposed of his entire interest in it.
The Committee express the opinion that the
claim itself was fraudulent.
Criminal proceedings were some time ago instl-
tuted by the Government against DIR. GARDINER
on account of the alleged character of the transac-
ton, and he returned from Europe for the purpose
of standing trial.
This case has been made the pretext for much
denunciation b. the Democrats Of Mr. CoRwIN'
but the unanimous aciuittal of that gentleman by
the Committee, a majority of whom are Democrats,
must set the matter at rest far as he is concerned

Singular Robbery.

A few days since, while Mr. FRANCIS BELL
was engaged in dividing and weighing cattle, a
lot of colts approached his coat, which was hang
ING on the fence, and distracted pocket book,
containing large sum of money. When Mr.
6-11. discovered the robbery, the ccls were busl-
" epoao,ad masticating the precious provender,
which was scattered all over the ground. upon
counting the notes left, one husdre3 and t5ty d0E
lars were missing, while large amoun' was SC
mutilated as to render its value doubtful. This is
the most costly species of food which has been used
since the days of Cleopatra, who with immortal
folly dissolved diamond of extreme value and
drank it at draught.

o. An editorial in the N. Y. Commercial AID
vertiser dwels with much truth upon the moral
character of General Scott. In particular reference
to his temperance, the Editor says his advocacy Of
the cold water cause in the army and elsewhere is
on record, and his example, we believe, has uni
formly been consistent illustration of his prnci-
pies. We quote:
GIVE speak now of temperance, and not of total
abstinence, though for aught we have seen, even
on public occasions, his practice may eliminate in
the latter But that he is staunch friend of tenn
perance, though no fanatic slave to that one idea
is and ought to be recommendation to one who
aspires to the high and most important trust fol
which he is candidate. 1t should not atone fol
the absence of other qualifications. Not by any
means; but other qualifications being equal, who
would not recognize proverbially temperate habits
as an additional reason for confidence in candid
ate 2"

District of Column ia ssSElin Plsters!''

For few weeks past rumors have been rife in
this community touching the solvency ofcertain o.
the Individual Banking Establishments in the Dis
trict of Columbia, with regard to one of these con,
Germs, the rumor has been confirmed. "The Bank
of the Union," has, beyond doubt, failed, and
how many others may soon fail, ace cant tell, but
we think the most prudent plan will be for every
one to refuse to take them-we would especially
advise persons in the country, who have not an
opportunity of getting daily information from
Washington, respecting the solvency of these
banks, not to touch dollar of them. Never mind
what merchants and others may tell you about
your being able to purchase whatever you may
want out Of the stores and shops Touch not

The DUKE OF WELLINGToN's WnL.-We
are enabled to announce that the Duke Of Yelling
ton has left will though the contents of 1t, as yet
remain undisclosed 1t is dated as far back as IL
Is and was found late on Saturday night, at
Coutts' Bank. The existence Of this document
was, we believe, unknown even to those most
nearly connected with the Duke, who, though OF
late years he had ordered several wills to be pre-
pared, yet never could make up his mind to exc
cute them. The Duke appears to have always
avoided the subject of his own death, and the ar
engagements connecad with it. Those who knew
him best hardly ever remember to have heard HIM
talk of such matters and in illustration of this tea-
ture in his character, curious fact may be men
toned. Every one knows that he received In the
course ofhs long and distinguished life many pres
ents of immense value, and that Apsley house IS
filled with great variety Of objects, the interest
attached to which can hardly be overrated. This
collection, as personal property was, OF couse, eX
posed to the risk OF dispersion after the Dukes
death; and, with a view to its preservation, an act
Of Parliament was obtained, enabling his Grace
within space of two years, to make heriooms OF
such objects as he wished to see inaienably attach
not mi the last day q tie me thus granted that
he signed the document requisite to make the act

friendly to Irishmen and their interests as Demo-

horrors of famine, refuse to aid her people when
they were calling ON our country for bread? A
bill appropriating five hundred thousand dollars for
the purchase of provisions, aud the transportation
