the General Assembly to meet in Clcve-
land:
While We still believe that the cause Of

noted by the establishment of friendly
relations between the two General As
scmbly which bear the Presbyterian

which they represent, and while We
deeply regret the apparent failure OF til"

ed to believe that the result of the meet
ing of our Joint committees at Baltimore,
following the harmonious action of our
two Assemblies at Baltimore and =.
Louis. clearly indicates the incNp"iiency
of pressing the subject Of closer relations
at present, we would most earnestly and
respectfully urge our General Assembly
to rest further negotiations upon the de-
sired and possible future action OF the
Southern Assembly.

poruon OF which was devoted to the
arrangement of n collection of pipes, ac-

death he summoned his lawyer and
made his will, IN which he directed that
All the smokers of the country should be
invited to the funeral, and that each
should be presented with ten pounds of
tobacco, and two Dutch pipes of newest
fashion, on which should be engraved
the name, arms, and date of the decease
OF the testator. lie requested all his
relatives, friends and funeral guests to
be careful to keep their pipes nlight
during the funeral ceremonies, after
which they should empty the ashes from
their pipes on the coffin. The poor of
the neighborhood who attended to his
last wishes, were to receive annually, ON
the anniversary of his death, ten pounds
OF tobacco and small cask of good beer
he denred that his oak coffin should be
lined with the cedar of his old Havana
cigar boxes, and that a box of French
capsoTd and q packet of old Dutch
tobacco should be placed at the foot of
his coffin. His favorite pipe was to be
placed by his side, along with O box of
matches, flint and steel, and some tim

what might happen. a correct CAL
