GETTING ALL THE LAWYERS ON HIS SIpE.- Oliver Il. Smith gives this incident in the early history of Indiana. At the Rush circuit court my friend Judge Perry bargained for pony for twenty-five dollars, to be delivered the next day, on credit of six months. The man came with the pony, but required security of the Judge for twenty five dollars. The Judge drew the note at the top of sheet of foolscap, and signed 1t. l signed it; James Raridan signed 1t, and handed it on, and on, it went from law yer to lawyer around the bar, till some twenty of us signed it. l then handed it up to the court, and then three Judges put their names to it. Judge Perry then presented it to the man he had bought the pony of but heprompt- ly refused it. :" Do you think l am fool, to let you get the court and all the lawyers on your side? see you intend to cheat me out of my pony" Up he jumped and ran out of the court house, mounted the pony and started for home at full gallop.

The Farewell Address of Washington.

Ettt0rs of Me PicoyuRe:
 DEAR SIRs-ln your number of the 18th inst. have seen laragraph announcing that tesi- mony Was forthcoming to prove that Gen. Wash lngon was the red author of the farewell ad dress of that unrivaled patriot. had thought this question had long been set at rest by John Jay, Chief Justice of the United States. who. m letter dated March, 1011, to Judge Peters, says; " our letter conveyed to me the first and only information have receiyed-that a copy ot President Washngtons vaiedictorv ad- dress had been found among the papers of Gen. Hamilton, and in his hand wrting'' He then states, the history of the address Is not uu- Known lo me"-and adds that to disclose it is mot necessary then, but may become so" He then concludes as follows: 'Before the address appeared, Hamilton informed me that he had received letter from Gen. Washington contain ing the draught of a farewell address. ,U1ich Me President had prepared and on which he wished our opinion.'
 A day having been fixed, Hamilton and Jay met, when Hamilton proposed Ito read it and make 1t the subject of consideration" This having been agreed to, Eve read and consider ed It, paragraph by paragraph, until the whole met our mutual approbatlon Some amend ments were made, but none cf much importance" -(l4fe and writings of John Jay, vol l. pages 344-45.)
 Before this General Hamilton had copied the address with the view of leaving the original untouched; ensrafting on the copy such altera- tons as he thought advisable Thus the Pres- dents draught remained Gas delicacy requred) uno6scured by interlineatons- by compar- Ing the copy with it, he would immediately per- ceive the amendments proposed."
 The above extract should be conclusive on subject, about which Mir. Jay truly predicted that It might become necessary to have his tes- tImony reduced to writing de bene esse" as the lawyers say. Respectfully, yours, JM.C.

HE GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY.-Until very recent wand the pople not only of Virginia. but oi the whole Union, should hear it with chagrn and sorrow-the grave of Patrick Henry has had no stone to mark its locality, To monu- ment to invite the eye of pilgrims n search of that sacred shrine. And at last the pous and patriotic task has been undertaken. not by the State that proudly claims the maternity of him, whose dauntless spirit and stirring eloquence awakened the slum bering spark and famed the flame of American freedom-not by the nation that ' boasts his nanle'' aud still reapS the re- ward of his services but by the two surviving sons oi that fearless and gifted champ pion of liberty.
 We have been favored by gentleman who has lately been sojourning for few days in the county ot Charlotte with descipron of the tombstone. It Is strikingly symbolical of the great cause of republlcalism, ill which he who sleeps beneath 1t so glorously shone, not less by the light oi the genus with which he rradi- ated It than by the patriotic ardor that animated him to espouse 1t. It consists simply of solid wall of hne sand stoue-quarred on the place nine feet ten inches square. and two feet high With superstructure six feet square, swent-two inches high, with marble slabs projecting over the sides. On one of the slabs Is inscribed Patrick Henry. Born May 29th, 1736. Died June 9th, 1799. His fame the best epitaph" On the other: "Dorethea Dandrldge, wife oi l Patrick Henry. Born in the year 1755. Died February 14tb, 1S3l.' It will thus beseen his wife sleeps by his side. In Charlotte county, at | Red Hill, the residence of John Henry, esq, these sacred relics lie Would it not be well for the State of Virginia to add single stone, at | least to the modest monument that marks the grave ef PATRICK HERY?-Richnaond Enquirer.
