About seven years ago Fstepped from

those who were looking on, stood a man
of genteel appearance said /, "Sir,

put up at hotel; can you direct Inc
where can lodge in private family 2"
He said he could. We entered the next
street; he stopped in front Of arespecta-
bic two-story brick tenement; on the
front sat a comely matron She might
have seen twenty-eight summers on her
lap sat babe. Said my friend to the
matron, "Gude wife, this is Mr. Thorburn
from New York he wishes private board

|" Yes" says she, "for year or for a
life time, if it is he. Oft has my father

that Mr.. T. took him, and ministered to
his wants" "What was your fathers

ference existing in relation to this noble un-
dertaking, that even that SMALL sumscannot
be obtained for so patriotic and gloriousa pur-
pose.
In Norway, thee-fourths of the amount
necessary to erect monument in honor OF
Charles XII. was raised lately by voluntary
contributions in two days; while in the Re-
public of the United States, brought into ex-
istence by the valor, perseverance, energy,
and patriotism of Washington-in nation
which now contains population of nearly
twenty-five millions Of souls, enjoying free
dom, independence, and prosperity nowhere
else to be iound-one-fifth only Of the amount
required to complete monument worthy OF
the man whose honor it is now being erec-
ted, has after the most unceasing efforts for
seventeen years, been contributed. To the
people, the army and navy, Masonic, Odd
Fellows, and other associations, the colleges,
academies, and schools of the United States,
banking institutions, city and town corpora
tions, &C., applications urgently requesting
pecuniary aid to have been made by circulars
addressed to all, and still the contributions
received have been insufficient to raise the
monument beyond its present elevation. This
is painful and notifying fact. twill now
become the duty Of the different States of the
Union to show the interest they feel in this
noble undertaking, and TO evince the estima-
ton and respect in which they hold the char
acter ana services of Washington, by contrib
uting to the completion of his monument,
that the States as well ms the people may
have the~honor of raising a structure TO his
memory which viii be an mperishable me-
moral of their veneration and gratitude. By
order of the Board:

Secretary of Washington National Monument
Society.

spectfully requested TO publish the above in

deep knowledge of the healing art, was once
called to visit q young man afflicted with ap-

his wife, and finally gave vent to the follow

Horrid Accident.

Mr.. Mansfield Hull lost his life at an
iron foundry in birmingham, CT, last
week, in consequence of being caught
upon a shaft by his clothes. The Derby
Journal says the unfortunate man was
whirled around the shaft at the rate Of
one hundred and SiIty revolutions per
minute, and was whirling at this speed
when discovered The shaft was within
a few feet OF the windows, and at the
first time round, the legs of Mr.. Hull
dashed out the window and sash, and
striking the edge of the shop, were whip
ped into myriad number of pieces
When the mutilated body was taken
down, it was discovered that the neck
was broken. The decsased was % years
of age, and leaves an aged and iufrm
mother, young wife, and an infant
babe.

Circumstance soon proved that he possessed
a most {" Inquiring mind" Before him, oc-
cupying the entire seat sat a lady, dressed in
deep black; and after shifting his position
several times, and manevuring to get an op-
pnrtunity to look in her face, he at length
" caught her eye" He nodded Familiarity
to her, and asked, with nasal twing utterly
incapable of imitation.

in little lower tone, with his head slightly
inclined forward over the back of the seat.

Sir - said the widow, indignantly "you
are impertinent!" And she left her seat and
took another on the other side Of the car.
"Pears to be little "hoffy!" said the
inefable bore, turning to our narrator, behind
him.
