The Legislature Of Indiana has just passed "A highly
mpbrtant law. Weailude to the revised law OF
descent. ltmakes radical and sweeping changes,
aboIishing principles that have prevailed for cen
tutes throug houl Eng land aud the greater part Of

thai if the estate exceeds $ 10000 she> takes only
one-f fourth and If over $40 900, only one-6th,
against creditors.
The widow of an nesate, with one child, takes
half the lands, and the child takes the other hall.
The widow Of an interstate, without children, if
the estate be under one thousand dollars, takes the
whole of il. If it be one thousand dollars,
and there be father or mother Of the husband alive,
she takes three iourlhs and the father or MOTHER or
both take one-fourh. II there be father or

On Wednesday, 4;h lust, The students Of tie
Worcester Academy were examined ia The various
branches taught in that seminary, and they acqut-
ted themselves 10 the entire satisfaction Of the ex-
aiming committee, and The ladies' and gentlemen
who were present.
Rev Mr. Bailey, Principal of the Grenyile Col
Iege. Ohio, Henry Washbnrn ESQ, Rev. Mr..
Swami, Charles Thurber Esq, E. B. Stoddard
ESQ, and several gentlemen irouE abroad, were
early at the Academy, and remained throughout the
day, taking much interest in the exercises
The examination commenced with the English
department The students in this class exhibited
Thorough acquaintance with the construction Of their
mother tongue, and entered very critically into lie
grammatical and logical analysis.
The next class was examined in Geometry and
plane II igonome,ry, and demonstrated very satifac
tory that they had studied Euclid with diligence
aud profit.
The classical department, under the direction Of
Mr. Brewer, was examined in Latin and Greek
The students rected, translated and parsed in
Csesai s Commentaries, also in the famous
lions of Cicero, in adulatou Of Msrcellus, and in
condemnation Of Calaline, and they analysed also
mart OF Virgins dSneid. ne Ofeek CLASS was eA-
amined in Xenophon. The students showed that
they were well grounded in the grammar Of both
the Lalan and Greek languages, and that they we're
also well read in Roman and Greek lerature.--
They had not only rendered themselves familiar
with the construction and characteristics of those
two q and old monuments of Hellenic and Roman
civilization and power, the Greek and Latin tongues,
but they had also made themselves acquainted with
those Hydrologic phantasies which had sprung from
the teeming imagination Of the Grecian mind, and
filed the Pantheon with IFS beautiful but sensual
idealiiiss. m lsa
At the close OF the examination, Mr.. Brewer said
that the term which was ended, had been one
az analloyed pleasure and satisfaction to him. The
students had pursued their studies with diligence
and success, and their personal department and con-
duct had been throughout, the department and con-
duct Of gentlemen.
Rev. Mr.. Bailey, who was Principal Of this Acad-
emyliI the year 1889, said that he had been high
" erarifed with the examination. He had been
especially impressed with the thoroughners with
which the students bad bten grounded in their les
sons. Perhaps they might consider their teachers
over particular, and even fnca, in their strict at

"a sensible Conclusion,

Such is the title Of the leading editorial in yes
terday's Egs. After quoting short but very in
consistent passage from recent speech Of John
Van Buren,, in which he says "the Free soilers
would be mad if they organized party now" the
Esis replies with the following timely and pointed
rebuke, viz.
ssWe are not bound TO defend John Van Buren's
inconsistency, for we tank it indeensible. II he
had been sincere in the declarations he made in lS4S
and 1919, he could not employ the language
which have quoted above"
We will not take upon ourselves to say pnsi-
lively, whether or not MIR. Van Buren, was sincere
at the time referred 10 by the Kgis. or, indeed,
whether his more recent declarations are dshon-
est as the Egis represents those Of lS4S and ls49
to have been, for insincery is subject about
which the Egis is much more al home, than we
can pretend to be. But, that Mr.. Van Buren, is
vastly inconsistent with himself, is matter about
which two opinions hardly exist. Senator
Chase, in his calm and demonsratiVe letter to Mr..
B. F. Butler, of New York, has set that matter in
the cleares: light. II, however, the Egis is too
severe on the motives of Mr.. Van Buren, its rebuke
OF his inconsistency, is, by means, too earnest or
too Stern. No Free Soer, who is both siucere and
consistent, can forsake his post such juncture
as the present. This take to be substantially
the meaning Of the Kgs, and we hasten 10 give it
credit for $50 sensible conclusion,'' especially
it affords US 50 lew opportunities. five might dare
TO be sangune in case that has seemed so
desperate, we would take this extraordinary in
stance OF its candor and good lucid iaiar-
val giving promise Of gradual improvement, if not
of total recovery But, however this may be, it now
seeks 10 forewarn and assure every Free Soer that
il he values his reputation for integrity, and would
enjoy either the esteem Of the Wing party, even
just elfrespect, he must not now desert cause
which holds so strong a claim on his honor and his
energy. The wise man long ago said, '.By the sad.
ness Of the countenance, the heart is made better
Perhaps the bitter disappointment of the editor Of
the Egs, at the nomination Of General Scott, TO.
gether with his deep sympathy in the Of Mr.
Webster, may have given him clearer and more cor
rect views Of Judge Barton's ''execrable Fugitive
Slave Law and Of the equally execrable Baltimore
platforms adopted to sustain it. We will be char
liable and hope for the best.

THREE CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH
Last night, about ii O'Clock, a fire was discovered
in the third story of wooden house, No. 20 Friend
street, occupied by five Ilsh families. In the room
where the fire originated, Daniel Rogers, his wife,
and three children, Of the ages Of six years, two
years, and nine months, sleeping. They had
lett candle burning, it is supposed, which came in
contact with the bed-clothes and caused the fire.
The la her and mother escaped, but, sad to relate,
all the children persisted in the flames. The fire
exngulshed before the building was consumed,
being quickly drenched with wafer. family IN AN
adjoining room to the Rogers family, had seven
children, all Of whom were saved unInjuied. A
rum shop was kept in the basement story, which
may account for the catastrophe. Rogers was badly
burned, but his wife escaped he flames, and il
very strange that they could mol have saved their
children, it sober lhemseves.-Boston Common

At one O'Clock The students, and ladies and gen.
emen present, adjourned to the grove on the Oread
bill, where tables were spread with all the good
things necessary for true academical dgeune, and
whers rostrum ''sasb tegniae fagi had been erect
Cd. But sthe best laid schemes OF mice and men
gang aft agley;' the company had scarcely gath
cred in tho wood, when down came the envious rain
in copous showers, and away ran the nymphs and
graces, who presided the tables, from the grove,
leaving dsnantled boards and vacant chairs behind
them. Fortunately, the Oread that famous Cas-
nua Pusllarum, was not far distant, and the COM
pany, amounting to about one hundred, took refuge
in It's ample halls.
The meeting came to order in the southwestern
tower, when Henry Washhurn, Esq, elected
Chairman. Rev. Mr. Swain offered up prayer,
song was sung by a glee company and an adjourn
ment then took place to the great northern hall,
where the tables were laid.
When The material subjects in gastronomy, which
tasleuly arranged the tables, had been very
thoroughly discussed, by both professors, students,
and ladies and gentlemen visitors, the company
turned to the tower. where speeche. we're delivered
by Isaac Davis, Esq Rev. Mr. Bailey, Eli Thayer,
Esq, aud others.
The whole proceedings Of yesterday, at the Acad.

the liberal Principal, TO The professors, TO the stu.
dents, and to the lady who ministered with so much
elegance TO the less Platorc, but certainly not Il
least essential part Of the days enjoyment
If we might venture to express desire for i'm
provement in any particular of yesterdays exhibit
ton, it would be in the eOcution Of the young men.
We believe it is necessary to open the mouth, and
TO arlicuate deliberately, in order TO be good
speaker. Oiatory is compound, complex science,
Of which eloculion is as essential element
knowledge is. We would advise the students Of the
Academy to study Hamet's advice 70 the players
and follow it, for elegance in speaking is perhaps
the most impressive grace of an oral teacher, as it
is certainly the first marx of we'll educated gentle
man.

point of numbers, in point of speaking and in
point OF enthusiasm the Lundy's Lane celebra-
ton was a notable failure. Don't believe tn ese
hyperbolists who affirm there were so, 900 persons
present. During the whole time the number of
arrivals did not reach thae one-third of that
figure, and half of them might safely be set down
as coming from motives of curiosity, induced by
the reduction in the cost of travelling OF the
speakers announced by the committee, in their
programme, but one--Governor Jones-made his
appearance on the stand, and the only other
speakers of ability or note, during the two days.

EXTENT OF THE FISHING TRADE,-The fish
ing tade is immense During the summer months
than 10000 vessels are constantly engaged in
the trade, employing from 100000 to 100000 men.
The Bay Of ChaIeur along the coast of Prince Ed
wards Island, the Magdaen Islands, and Northum-
beland Straits, considered the choicest nackerel
fishing grounds. Here alone the fleet often amounts
TO 1000 sail, although generally not more than from
200 10 400 vessels sail in company. At night, when
the feet is safely anchored, the lanterns lighted on
each vessel and swung upon the shrouds, one may
fancy he is looking upon some huge city lying in re-.
pose, with its lamps all trimmed and burning. The
bait alone, which is ground up and thrown to the
fishes keep them about the vessels, costs So 900,
600 per annum.- 81. John (N b. Times.

THE RoGuIsH TRIBUNE.-The New York Tri-
bune, with great professions of honesty, omits no
opportunity to Witty the democratic party Last
week it gave another specimen of its obliquity.-
The democrats of New York arc to hold their pri-
mary elections on the 29th of August; but the
Tribune made a bunder, and read July for Au-
gust Accordingly on the morning of the Goth
ult. it gave the following characteristic account
of meetings that had never been held Here is
the sort of fiction which Horace Greeley deals out
as truth and fact to the readers of the Tribune.
" Locofoco Primaries usual powwow for
the election of delegates of the various city
yentions were held last night, and passed off
without serious disturbance, so far we have
heard The nurseries were extensively patron
lied, as all the elections were held in shops,
and many of them in those of the lowest, drtiest
and basest description, where gambling and pros
ttution are the chief means.of profit.
OF course, the election was the most ridic-
ulous farce. The names had been selected weeks
before at Tammany Hall, and the Gem tickets
were prepared, the right sort oil inspectors cho-
sen, dozen beastly rufians in each ward, hired
to do the voting, and knock down any one who
should presume to interfere with the play. These
poor, ragged, drunken soulless, mindless de-
bauched, and diseased cut threats and thieves,
who crawl through blasted and horrible exis-
tence in the low dens of the Sixth Ward,
who riot or starye, just they have luck in
ro5bing prostitutes, and picking strangers pock-
cts, who, with probable chance of escape, would
cut their own mothers threats for ten dollars a.
piece-these hiring curses to themselves and the
world, constitute the bulk of the regular demo
cratic voters at all primary elections; they are
the disgusting wretches who make public opin-
ion for the columns of the the National Demo-
crat, and the Herald, (their especial organ and
patron) and express the voice of the great demo-
crat party of the metropolis"
1t is not probable that the Tribune will ever
correct its blunder, or apologize for itu indecent
language. We publish it because large num-
Der Of that paper is distributed here daily, and oc-
casionally we hear democrat allude to the Tri-
bune authority for some fact or opinion; and
not because it changes one iota of the opinion we
have long entertained of the paper and its editor.

IMPRovEMENTs.-The elegant block of brick
and iron stores, now in course of erection upon
Main street, by Messrs. II. H. Chamberlin s Co.,
Chas.. w. FreeIand, and Luther Goddard, bids
fair to excel in architectural beauty, every
Of the kind in the city. The inside arrangements
Of these stores, are intended be in entire conform
ity with their magnificent exterior, and viii afford
to their enterrisng proprietors, such facilities for
the display and sale Of their merchandise, can
rarely be met with.
These stores are erected from designs furnished
by Mr. Elbridge Boyden of this city, whose reputa-
ton as an architect stands deservedly high, and
when completed, they will add much to he general
ly fine appearance of our principal business thor
oughiare, while they reflect the highest credit upon
the taste and l,beray Of those by whose enterprise
they were erected.
