RELIGION THE IIFuTFN
In order to correct doubt that General Scott died
in the full acknowledgment and hope of the Chris
tan faith, may state that he was a constant and
devoted attendant upon worship both here and
elsewhere; and that, except occasional profanity his
lie was model to pubic men in all decences and
temperances He was scrupu ous as TO etiquette and
cleanliness, and was part tcuarly noticeable In de-
lending the use ofthe epithet damn
Damn, " he used to say very often, dis not an
oath; 1t is an expression of vulgarity, simply"

Around the Point, General Scott was, without eX.
