beautifully exemplifed the touching story
of Ruth and Naomi, and no man worthy
of the name can fail to sympathize with
her. We well remember Mrs. Graves
as we saw her few days after her mar

world was colour de rose to her, and W.
never saw a SUMMER smile tighten the face

Prescription hear much about

"The following persons have lately

rem Newcomb, only surviving grandson
of the hero and martyr of Bunker Hill ;
Col. Williams, grandson of ma major.general
Otho Williams of the Maryland line, who
fought at the Cowpens, at Camden, and

ond only 10 Greene in the celebrated
maneuvres which failed and prepared

Goodrich Smith, gran"son of that Capt.

Washington conided the care of the un.
fortunate Andre. | have nothing TO say
against these removals besides this that
while old age is brought as a charge;
their united ages scarcely exceed that of
the President and the first member of the
cabinet, and while they are accused of
sympathy with the American party, an
lrishman by the name of Barney McGrann,
the keeper of notoriousIy low grog shop
for many years past in this city, has just
received responsible employment in the
State Department. McGrann, | presume
owes his place to the patronage Of Mr.
Stubbs, an Irishman, turned out by Mr.
Webster for misconduct in Office, but
since renslated. Mr.. Newcomb was in
vited to attend the celebration in honor
of The Inauguration of the statue of his
grandfather. He thought it prudent tc
decline in view of the fierce competition
for his place, but sent his two chidred tt
represent the family. The prescription
of such men must be regarded as dis
graceful sacrifice TO the foreign elemen
in the democratic party, and deserves tn
rebuke of the COUNTY,"
