me to respond to the toast given to the
memory of Washington. have elsewhere
thought it right to say that to be named 1n

yond any desert of mine that there would
be degree Of vanity in thinking it neces-
sary TO disclaim it. You will give me cred
it, fnot for the sefknowledge and humii-
ty, at least for the good taste, which would
lead me toput far aside any such association
with that great name, which, more than
any other name of human renowu, has
drawn to itself incomE,unicably the graft.
tude and affection Of his own countrymen,
and the admiration Of mankind. But I
may, without presumption, return you my
thanks for affording me the opportunity of
giving utterance, on your behalf and on be-
half of the city.of Boston, to the emotions
with which the mention of that illustrious
name, ever honored, ever dear, must warm
the bosom Of the true patriot on the ami
versary Of our National Independence.

the son OF very respectable citizen Of that

MOT long ago, a young Newfoundland
dog. the tavorile of his father, was securely
tied by Il young Nero, who saturated the
body with camphenc or ETHEREAL oil, and set
fire to the inilammahle fluid, which had the
effect OF roasting poor Towser until life be-
came extinct, after the endurance of the
most intense, agonizing suffering which the
human mind can conceive.
'The young demon being wcll.pleascd at
the result Of this grand experiment in cruel
ty, next endcavored also 10 roast alive his
little sister. bright, intelligent child, aLou,
six years of age. Having playfully bound
her legs and arms with Il clothes line, he
placed her upon the cooking stove in the
Kitchen, heated TO an intense degree in or.
der to prepare dinner for the family. The
Shrleks and yclIs Of the agonizcd little VIC
tin were fortunately heard by the the IN OH
er, who rushed down and removed the moor
child before she was fatally injured.
federation Of the young villains crimes had
now ceased to be virtue, and the father
was engaged in preparations to effect his
removal to the House Of Refuge, when the
hopeful youth suddenly disappeared at
night froms his dwelling, and no tidncs
have been heard Of him since"
