AARON BURR AND rHg WiDow OF
HANILroS. Correspondence OF the
Detroi, Enquirer. Allegan, Monday
March s, 1854. Mr.. Editor Seeing a
paragraph IN your paper Of the 4lh,
speaking Of tho omission, in all the
lives written of Alexander Hamilton. Of
the name Of his vile, reminds me Of a
thrilling and painful incident TO which
| was an eyewitness, connected with
that lady (who, by the way, | suppose
lew will need be informed, was, before
marriage, a daughter Of General Schu
yler, Of Albany.) About the year 1929,
as near az can recollect, l was Oh
board one Of the old Fulton and Livi ng-
sion line Of boats, (say the James Kent,
or Chancellor Livingston on my way
from New York to Albany. All who trav.
ellsd in those days will recollect that
the dinner hour was quite as interesting
rs now. The ladies were OF course pro-
vided tor first and the gentlemen who
stood near the foot oi the tables, could
crowd upon the back seats, $50 that
they respectfully retreated AS the ladies
came DOWN. until the latter were all
seated then such as were not crowded
quite off, could take seat on the sig
na' being gwen.
Among the first that were passing up
next to the berths, and hack oi one ta
BILE, was Aaron Burr, and it was my lot
TO be next to him. We got up as lar as
those ahead Of US could 60, before com.
ing to seats occupied by ladies on ,ha,
side, and all came to a sand facing the
table. At that moment there came
down opposite 10 US a large lady, richly
dressed in black, and veiled, and while
yet standing, directly opposite to Burr,
she put her veil aside, and raj. ing her
eyes across the table, she saw with his
eyes directly upon her Aaron Burr, land
only separated by the width Of the table.
She gave loud scream and Iell. hui
there being quite number standing by.
they caught her and took her out. The
boat was then about approaching New
burgh, and she insisted on being put
ashore at once, as she would go 10 !uI-
ther In the boat with Burr IN board and
il was done as she wished.
During the whole scene at the table
Burr stood like statue, looking on
with q stoc-like indifference and com
posure, never moving muscle and as
soon as Mrs. H. was removed, he sat
down and ate Very hearty dinner and
went on his way, as usual.
But to say relished and enjoyed my
dinner, crowded up to close proximity
to that man, with the history Of that
fatal duel rushing through my mind, |
cannot.
1t was remarked at the time that Mrs.
Hamilton said it was the first time she
had ever set her eyes on Aaron Burr
since the day he killed her husband, and
no doubt il was the last J.R.K.

Sunday, the remains Of the lase Col. PER-,

Why rolls the solemn, muSied drum,
And peal the notes OF woe
As on the breeze their accents fons,

Why stoops yon spansIed banner

In funeral silence move.

And yonder are hrs weeping friends
The generous and the brave,
To bid long, Las, farewell,

Where wars loud thunJcrs soon',
Where heaps OF slain and wounded I've.
Along the bloody gronnd,-
But darker was his hapless fate,
BY slow disease TO fall;
Then let the flag Of triumph,
O'erspread hi. funeral pail.
His mortal frame is moulder,ng
Beneath the drea'y clod;
His spirit has nturned
To its Creator and its God.
Then rest thee, brother sol ler
In thy lone but peaceful tomb,
Till the angels trump shall call thee,
IT. the final day Of doom!
Mav'st thoi at that dread moment,
In immortal glory rise,
ROBBED in the spolless uniform
or saints beyond the skies;
And there may We all meet thee,
On that celestial shore,
Where sorrow turns to gladness
Aud where friends shall part no more.

Dull and siow this many year,
Rolling down my torpid waters
Through silence moan and drear

Trampling on my rudy shore ;

Only liste'd to the laughter
From the village and the town,

As the weary day went down.
So lay and sorely pondered
On the days long since gone by,
When my old prmcval forests
Echoed to the warriors cry
When the race Of Thor and Odin
Held their battles by my side,
And the blood Of m'n was minsIng

change, we have been relieved OF noisy

certainly, in itself is quite sufficient to
make every good citizen IN favor Of the

harrasnenis, as was anticipated during

in a great measure overcome these and
all things being reduced to practice, we
shall look for improvements the coming
