The PRESENT CONDITION OF MOUNT VERNoN--Mr.
Everett, in his first "Mount Vernon Paper thus
enumerates the annoyances to which the family re-
siding at Mount Vernon subjected:
Their retirement is invaded in the most unseemlv
and distressing manner; articles easily removed
must be closely watched, to prevent their being
carried off; whatever can be broken or cut is liable
to be mutilated and defaced within doors and the
shrubbery in the walks and grounds is appropriated
without scruple. Three or four of the pales have
been wrenched from the balustrade of the front
staircase and carried away. An ATTEMPT was
made last year to break the glass case which CON
tains the key of the Baste, given by Lafayette to
Washington, and to purloin this remarkable relic,
Most OF the small projecting portions of the wrought
marble mantel-piece presented to General Wash.
ington by, Samuel Vaughan Esq, of London, and
forming the ornament of the fireplace in the di
nlng-room, have been ruthlessly broken off, and in
one case, at least, young magnolias planted in the
grounds have been cut down by tourists. who were,
1t may be supposed, particular as to the ouality
OF their walking-sticks. Were the fortune of the
proprietor such as would enable him to recover q
place like Mount Vernon from the effects of half
century OF neglect, and to bring it into state OF
ornamental culture it is plain that it could not be

the refusal of this witness to answer and tba an

also refuse on similar grounds, rendered it neces-

prayed that it be continued until Tnesdav navt and
