Gerrit smith and Ills naliuclo,,,on..

UToA, November 11tb, 1852
The Hon. Gerrit Smith, ex-member
Ioi Congress, has been confined in
the Lunatic Asylum here since M
day last. His mind lie considera bly,
disorderod, but his condition is not
so hopelessly bad as has been repre-
sented, and bis Physicians hope that
the regimen and care to which he is
subjected, and the absence of excite
ment, will affect a radical cure.
1t was only by stratagem that his
friends succeeded in getting him in
here. He has been, ever since the
arrest Of Brown and his Harpers
Ferry followers, haunted with the
idea, that he was culpably RESPONSE.
BILE for all lives that have been and
will be sacrificed; aud 80 much have
this reflection and the fear Of being
called on to answer at the bar of
justice preyed upon him, that his
mind, never exempt from a tendency
to be unhinged, gave way, and rea-
son deserted its throne.
For some days before the abso-
lutte necessity VI restrictive measures
became apparent to bis friends and
relatives, he manifested a most
nervous anxiety to anticipate the re-
luisition which lie expected would
be made upon him, and to proceed
70 Virginia and surrender himself
nto the hands of the authorities.-I
When it was resolved to place him
lnder restraint, this anxiety Of his
vas taken advantage of. His friends
pretended to chime in with his no
ion, and when he set out for Utica
le was under the impression that he
vas on his way to Richmond or
Charlestown.
am assured that, though he sym
,athized with and sustained John
Brown in Kansas, he is no way i'm |
,licated in the recent movement
'f that now distinguished indi-
'idual. His position as inmate of
he asylum here is therefore, solely
to that peculiar sensi-
iveness Of mind he is known to
AVE possessed, and which has given
way, startled from its seat by the
hook consequent on the sad events
which have followed tho mad course
# this same Brown.
That Gerrit Smiths case ia one OF
Iecided lunacy is certain. Still, his
riends consider it far from hopeless.

sore bereavement with which IT pleased hei

the death Of her first born--a lovely boy oi
three years; and then in the death Of her
youthful husband, Mr.. J. r. Reese. with
whom she had been united in marriage sir
years and few months.
When she began to cherish the hope that
she had found the Saviour 10 be precious,
she began, also, to cherish the desire to be.
come missionary to the heather; but when
she discovered by the leadings ofProvidence
that the Head OF the Church had other work
for her, she turned her attention to the in.
struction Of the fsmsle youth. In this i'm
portant department Of labor she was sue
cessful, and had the satisfaction of seeing
her pupils, from year to year, advancing in
useful knowledge; and not only so, but her
happiness was augmented by seeing numbers
Of them giving evidence Of true piety.
She manifested an unusual interest in the
cause Of education, and engaged in its du-
ties with all her strength. Indeed, her
fault, in this connection, was that she taxed
her mental and bodily powers too heavily,
and thereby fastened the termination OF her
useful life.
In April, 1851, she removed to this place
with the husband who survives her, Mr.. S.

Their object in settling in this place was TO
build up Female Academy. In this enter
prise, Mrs. Spear engaged with all her ac-
customed industry and zeal. And the re-
cord OF her labors is still in our memories.-
need not add further than ths:-Hsr mem
ory will long be cherished by many IN this
vicinity, as that Of faithful, laborious, and
successful Teacher.
Mrs. Spears religion was not a religion of
mere feeling, or passion, which might vary
cumstances, though she felt, and sometimes
felt intensely; but her religion was the re-
ligion Of living, abiding principles, having
its foundation in clear views OF the truth of
God blessed to her understanding and heart,
by the Spirit OF God.
In her last hours she was sustaine by the
presence Of the Lamb that was slain.
In answer to the question, "is Jesus pre-
ciousp she answered, 30, yes. He is pre-
cious." And then she added, al have had
many delightful seasons Of communion in
this room, when have been left alone with
my Saviour"
Yes, her end was peace. And "blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord"
In the death of Mrs Spear, her family and
husband sustain a sore bereavement. Nav
the hand that led her in the journey of life.
and supported her in the hour OF death, keep
them until lie shall receive them to Him

In her death, the Presbyterian Church has
lost one OF its brightest ornaments.

John Peet, a venerable pioneer OF

first settlers in that county. He en-
countered all the hardships of pio-

He was temperate, upright, and de

Hnir-brcadth Escape of Hit Carson,

IIair-brcadth Escape of Hit Carson.
The New Mexico correspondent
Of the Saint Louis Democrat writes:
Kit Carson has Just got in from
the Conojos, where there has been a
row between the Mexicans and Utes,
which was near terminating in war
The Utes are in the habit of using
the corn-fields OF the Mexicans a.
their own property, but in this case
the owners resisted, and the Indian
was soundly thrashed. AS Mr. Car
son approached the town, the moth
er and brother of the U @ who had
received the castigation were in the
road before him. When in front of
them, the Indian presented his rifle,
and was in the act Of firing at Mr.
Carson, when the squaw interiered
and by force and entreaties, prevent
ed his efiecting his object.
Kit rode on to the town, and as
he approached a group of Mexicans
who were standing before it with
arms in their hands, he heard the
clsttering of a horses hoofs behind
him, turning his head, he saw the
Indian who had just attempted his
life dashing up at full charge, with
his rifle leveled full at the breast Of
the Mexican. He pulled the trig.
ger, but luckily the gun missed fire
A dozen rifles were leveled at the
Indian at the same time, and had
his gun been discharged, he would
have been riddled with balls, and
war would have ensued at once.
Kit held Q council with the Utes
and finally succeeded in pacifyine
them for the time; but he says peace
for any length OF time, is utterly i'm
possible; that they will not behav.
themselves until they are thorough
ly chastised for the murders and rob
berries they are daily committing on
our citizens.

PRooF PosITivE. We read in the goot
book, "by the mouth Of two or three witness

indeed this is deemed sufficient by any
Court of Justice at the present day. But
Kennedys Medical Discovery has thousand:
instead of a few isolated individuals to test
ify TO its medicinal and healing properties.
We see persons with fair skins who, few
months since, were covered with scrofulous
humors--those whose faces we've rough and
scaly from ErysipelaS, now smooth and rosy;
the cripple, whom Rheumatism had bound
for years, now throws away his crutches, and
dances for Joy. What has been the cause OF
this happy change? Kennedys Medical
Discovery. And it will cure nuy afflicted
with humors, no matter how extreme their
case may be.

Douglas and the Enquirer.

The Louisville Courier, winch cor
rectly represents the Democratic
sentiment of Kentucky, ard the
South in general, is very severe up
on the Enquirer, of this city, for
continuing to talk of Douglas as a
possible Presidential candidate. -
Tho Courier says:
THE Elitor of the Cincinnati
ENQnirer knows well that, even il
nominated at Charleston, Mr. Doug
las could MT get the electoral vote OF
a single Southern state; without the
support of the entire South he
knows that gentleman could not be
elected to the Presidency; and
knowing this, be knows that in en-
'dcavoring 10 secure the selection OF
its favoritc by the National Demo.
cratic Convention, he ia doing all in
his power to accomplish the defeat
of the Democracy in 1860, to bring
about the election of a Black Re.
publican and to render dissolution
OF the Union inevitable. We will
not charge that this is his object,
but 1t will be The effect OF his labors
if they should be successful. Yet.
the En2uirer, whether to crafty it's
spite against the administration of
Mr. Buchanan, or from some other
motive, persistently attempts to aid
the aspirations Of Mr. Douglas, by
misrepresenting and perverting the
sentiments of the Southern Demo-
cracy in regard to him and his here
sizes"

EAGLE CAPTURED BY CHILDREN.
We saw yesterday, an eagle which
WAS captured a day or two since,
some five or six miles from this place,
by Mr. Anderson Williams children
1t had pitched upon goose in pool
of water, anu getting wet, could not
rise with its prey, when the children
ran mp and captured it-a rather
dangerous experiment, we should
think, from the appearance OF the
bird. 1t is about the size of a large
turkey, and nearly black, except it's
head, which is a whitish color, With
yellow around its beak, and on it's
legs, which make it a most beautiful
bird. We have not seen them often
enough to say whether this is large
one or not, but presume it is about
the medium size. j. b. Hart, we
believe, purchased it for two dollars
and fifty cents.
We learn there was one captured
near this place some two or three
years ago, which was about the came

Fevers.

Fever, like every other form OF disease to
which the human system is liable, is caused
by impure humors. This being caused by
the more rapid action OF the blood struggling
with nature, in endeavoring to cast out of
the body the corrupt matter which is deadly
opposed to health. Hence the good and bad
humors are at war with each other, and the
comRotiun which follows causes Fever and
heat. The symptoms OF Fever are alternate
various; causing heaviness, languid, dilIi.
cult breathing, eyes dull and heavy, anxiety,
slghing and yawnlng, alternate fits OF heat
and cold. After which the patient com.
plains of pains ia the head and back. great
thirst, nausea and sickness, q fulness about
the stomach, and sometimes vomiting bilious
matter. DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills are
acknowledged TO be a Strengthening and de-
lightful medicine for all kinds Of Fevers.-
They not only cleanse the stomach and bow.
els from all bilious matter, but they open the
excretoiy vessels, causing them to pour CO.
pious effusions from the blood into the bow
els, after which the corrupted mass is thrown
out by the natural passage Of the body. All
that is required, in urgent cases of Fever,
will be to take large doses. In order to
have them operate thoroughly by the bowels,
take from three to five night and morning,
until the Fever entirely disappears. Aftei
which, from two to four every evening. until
well, and YOU will be convinced that this is
the best way to check Fever. because they
drive out all inflammation, and restore the
body to a state Of sound health. And the
blood and other fluids will be so thoroughly
purified that disease IN any form will be ut.
terly impossible.
" DR. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold
by all dealers in Medicines.
