meritorious efforts, as will enable this excellent
Band successfully to carry out their design, Of
affording to the public musical performances of so
high an order, without drawing too heavily on
the pockets of those who get them up, as has
been the case. These concerts ought to be more
remunerative.

In the Southbridge Press, of July oath, ap-
peared notice of the death of Mr.. BENJAMIN
Franklin 1t is to be regretted that such no.
tice was published. 1t was unjust, disgraceful,
and insulting. A tone of disrespect, careless.
ness, and levity, characterized it, 1t conveyed
the idea that Mr.. Franklin was an insignificant
parsonage, and it was Of little Importance how
he was spoken of, so the accident which occa.
stoned his death was mentioned 1t would pro-
duce false and unfavOrable impression upon the
minds of those, unacquainted with the deceased.
who might read it. The editor did not even oh
serve the civity due to a stranger. apparently
forgetting that Mr.. Franklin has friends to whom
his memory is dear. He was too worthy and res
pectabe a man, for his friends to allow such a
stigma to be attached to his name, and make no
efforts to remove it. They condemn it with lust
indignation.
In the discharge of his duties, he was very
faithful, and ever ready to perform whatever was
required of him. By his fidelity to his business,
pIomptness, and trustworthiness, he rendered
himself valuable TO his employer, whose high es-
TEEN he won. He was always pleasant and &C.
commodating to the passengers whom he carried.
and to all with whom he came in contact As a
friend, the same characteristics distinguished
him. Firm, constant, and reliable, nothing could
change him. Confidence Teposed in him was not
misplaced. He was kind and afectionate son,
and an honest, upright, and honorable citizen.
His frank and cheerful counlenance was true in
dex to the large and generous heart he possessed.
Thinking little Of self, and actuated by warm
feelings, he never hestated to help those in need
Of aid. He was always willing to do any one a
favor. Because Of his useful and efficient ser.
vices, agreeable and obliging manners, and
warmth and nobility Of heart. he became gem
eral lavorite, and an estimable member Of socie
~. He merited, and received, the respect and
affection Of all who knew him, and by them will
be remembered and spoken Of, respectfully and
afeetionately Taken away so suddenly and sad
ly, his loss will be long felt and mourned.

HAIL SToRM.-The severe storm of last week
was attended, in some places, with an unparal.
leled amount of hail. In Lunenburg, says the
Clinton Courant, several grain fields were leveled
as if passed over by the roller, while whole crops
of corn were cut down beyond hope. The hail
passed in line of less than half mile in width,
and specimens were picked up, as large as hens
egg. Report says the Shirley Shakers were dam.
aged to the amount of ttoo thousand dollars In
Lancaster, some of the farmers, also, had their
growing corn so damaged as to be obliged to cut
it down for fodder.

DELIcATR AND MAIDENLY TAsTB.-An ac.
complished, beautiful, and wealthy young
Englishwoman-Mi E. Southall-has fallen
in love WITH and recently married Juan Fer
nandez, celebrated bull-fghter at Madrid.
The strength and agility of the Spaniard may
be imagined from the fact that he frequently
tired out the fercest bull, by vaulting on his
back, and remaining so firmly fixed that the
Infatuated animal, finding every effort to dis
lodge him in vain, would at length fall ex-
hausted beneath its herculean rider a sight
that obtained more applause for Fernandez
than the death of half dozen bulls by the
weapon of the stoutest 'Spaniard. The pair
have recently arrived in Londeu, and are
now settled in Belgrayia, where splendid
