by another rum murder, Between 8
and 10 O'Clock this morning, David
Copps, a man about forty years Of
age, committed suicide by cutting his
throat. The deed was done in the
rear of storehouse on Gardiner's
wharf, and was Witnessed by one or
more persons; but such was the horrid
character Of the wound, that medical
aid could not be procured in season to
be of avail. Mr.. Copps had been
drinking hard for six or eight days
past; delirium tremens ensued, and
while laboring under this malady, the
horid deed was committed. We
are informed that he has tried for
several years to abstain from intoxi.

temptations would prove too sttong,

Tribute Of Respect.


At regular meeting of the Hendfys-
burgh Division of the Sons of Temper
ance, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Where's, ia the wisdom OF Divine
judgment, il hath pleased Almighty God,
to remove from among US by sudden
death, on the 18th inst, Bro. Philip
Spears, an esteemed and worthy nem-
ber Of our fraternsl band and brotherhood.
And,
Whereas, his consistent character as
christian, his exemplary life as a citizen,
and his praiseworthy integrity aud virtue,
command tribute of respect from those
who mourn his exit off this chequered
stage Of life, and though we sorrow for
his departure, yet, we submit with deep
humility to this affecting dispensation Of
SSupreme Being upon whom we are all
dependent, whose plans are wise and
laid il justice, and whose motives are the
offspring Of his mercy, "whose inscruta.
Bile ways are past finding out" There

Spears, wife has lost a kind and affec-
tionate husband, our order jealous and
valuable member, the church devoted
and active coworker, the Sabbath School
an ardent advocate, and community
has sustained an irreparable loss.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathise
with the relatives, especially the wife of
our deceased Brother, in the aflicton,
which, like a withering blight, hath
stricken them and brought grief and death
unwelcome guests TO the family hearth.
Resolved, That we tender to the wife
and relatives, the kind regards and sin
cere coincidence of our fraternity, and that
as mark Of respect for our deceased
Brother, the members Of this Division
wear the usual badge of mourning thirty
days, and that the Hall be also dressed in
mourning.
Resolved, That copy Of the foregoing
resolutions be presented to the wife Of our
deceased Brother, and that the R. S. be in
structed to send copy Of them to the
"Organn and " Temperance Advocate, y
and also to each of our county papers for
publication.

A PIcTURE.-The following portrait
of the New York " Softs," or " Putty.
heads" is drawn by ex-senator DAN
iel S. Dickinson, of New York, in a
late speech. He is describing their
Convention at Syracuse, and the char
acter of its members
|" In addition to a numerous corps
of public officers, state and national,
with the bribery of Office, and the
threats of expulsion, there were there,
by free-soil procurement to take part
in the proceedings of the convention,
the spawn of a general Jail delivery
from the city Of New York-the black
vomit of the tombs and Blackwell's
Island-the hair-lips slitted ears, bro
ken noses, blear eyes, and on an av-
ersge, only about two whole ones to
three men, creatures about as ragged
as Lazarus, and murderous as Cain,
mottled with disease, foul stencil,
creeping with vermin, shaggy with
drunken ferocity, and armed with the
implements Of their ade-slug-shot
and bowie knives-were there, under
the control Of public officers, to force
respectable democrats to concert with
those who brought them there.

For some time in secret, and being
apprised of the embarrassed state Of
his affairs wrote him, rendering him

this remarkable proof Of her generosity

by a preference for himself, he at once
made an offer Of his hand and heart.
He judged rightly, and the poet was

TEMPERANcn ANEoDoTE.-A gentle
man cooper called upon negro, who
owns fine farnlin Ohio, and wished
to purchase some stave timber. Our
colOred friend inquired for what pur-
pose he wanted it. He received for
an answer, " have a contract for so
many whisky barrels"
"Well, sir, was the prompt reply,
&C. have the timber for sale, and want
the money, but no man shall purchase
a stave, or hooppole, or particle Of
grain of me for that purpose"
OF course Mr.. Cooper was not lit
tie up in the back to meet such stern
reproach, got mad and called him a

!" That is very true," mildly replied
the other, +" it is my misfortune to be
a negro. / can't help that, but I can
help selling my timber to make whisky
barrels, and I mean to do it,"
