Several attempts, within a few mouths past, have been made b) the prisoners to set fire to the Penitentiary; they succeeded in firing some of the work shops, but by timely discovery it was distinguished without much damage. For tno or three weeks past, several persons who were lately let out, have been lurkirg around outside of the prison, during tie night, for the purpose of assisting the prisoners to make their escape. On the l:h mst. one of the gang was caught by li e guard, conveying whiskey through the iiiidow to some of the prisoners, and take to jail. O i Friday night. (17th,) about ten o'clock, a stable about two rods i-outh of the wall belonging to the penitentiary, containing a consideiable quantity of corn and hay, was set on fire, and with the exception of a few bushels of corn was consumed. The stable was probably fired with the expectation of its communicating tire to the main building, but the air being ver calm, there was fortunately no other damage done. Statesman.

functionaries, cither civil or military, be fore they enter upon the duties of their stations, that they have neither directly noi indirectly given, accepted or knowing !v carried a challenge, in writing or otherwise, to any person, being a citizen of !bat state, or aided or abetted in the same since January 1, 182G; and further, that they will neither directly nor indirectly, give, accept or knowingly carry a challenge to any person during their continuance in the discharge of any public function.

! lowed up in the mad, selfish joy of the mo

ment. Is it not humiliating, that Mahometans arid Hindoos should put to shame the whole Christian world, by their superior examples of temperance? Is it not degrading to Englishmen and Americans, that they are so infinitely exceeded by the French in this cardinal virtue? And is it not mortifying beyond all expression that we Americans should exceed all other eight millions of people on the globe, as I verily believe we do, in this degrading, beastly vice of intemperance. I am, S'u , your obliged friend and humble servant, JOHN ADAMS.5 William Wills, Esq. Mary Stoker, in the 103d year of her age, is now living in Galwav, N. Y. She never saw any Tea till she "was 17 years old, nor a Pvtatoe till she was 20. When tea first came into use, the women used to curry cups and saucers in their pockets, when they paid a visit. The men were, at first, afraid to plant potatoes, lest it should be impossible to root them out. The Albany Advertiser relates a distressing case of a valuable young man, whose death was occasioned by the ignorant and barbarous treatment of a quack doctor, in undertaking to effect a cure of

the prevalent influenza. The quack com

menced his operations by means ot hot stones, and lobelia emetics, &:c. which soon threw the patient into a state of delirium, and in spite of the tears and entreaties of his family, persisted in his application for about three days, when a physician was called, but too late to stay the etfects of the poison which had been administered. The back and sides of the victim were covered with blisters, and there was not a doubt on the minds of those present, but that he was literally burnt to death.

A honest confession. On motion, in Coi-grcs to adjourn over from Tuesday to Thursday, in consequence of Wednesday being the anniversary of Washington's birthday, Mr. Forsyth of Georgia, made the following remarks: He was of opinion that the best mode in w hich we could show our repect, would be by the performance of our public duties. Such a mode would he most agreeable to Wash-

A Treaty. A crazy Capuchin, in the ri ign of Loui-i XIII., acquainted his audience, in a fit of enthusiastic delirium, "that he had discovered an expedient, winch he had no doubt would make all men just and happy , even in this life, and that the tlesh should no longer rebel against the spirit.' He then proceeded to explain himself by telling them that the cause of all sin arose from the enmity between God and the devil, by w hich means the Almighty was often crossed in his good intentions to mankind both here and hereafter; the devil, by his temptations, making us incapable of the meicy of our Creator; "therefore he had a design,'' he told, "w ith the assistance of the holy church, to intercede with the Almighty to take Satan into favor again;

' and then mankind having no tempter, would

all necessarily be good." The hill of indictment preferred against John Bunvan ran thus: "John Bun van

Rait. Pat. A new weekly paper has made its appearance in Boston, for the laudable object of aiding in the suppression of the brutal vice of intemperance. The first number contains the follow ing letter from the sage ofQuincy: Qlmnxv, Feb. 21, 1C19. "Dr.Ai: Sir I thank you for your address lothe New Bedford auxilliary society for the suppression of intemperance, which, I have read with pleasure and edification. It abound in ingenuity and information; it is elegant and pathetic; it is pious and virtuous; it addresses itself to the understanding and the heart. A drunkard i- the most selfish being in the universe. He has no sense of modes tv, shame or disgrace. .He has no sense ofduly, or sympathy of affection with his father or mother, his brother or sisterjus friend or neighbor, his wife or children ; no reverence tohisGod; no sense ot (uturit v in this world or the other all isswal-

unlawful meetings and conventicles, to the

disturbance and distraction of the good subjects of the kingdom, contrary to the law s of our sovereign lord and king." He was convicted and imprisoned twelve years and six months.

Plt.lic spirit. True public spirit is not the new-born offspring of sudden occasion, nor the incidental fruit of casual emergency , nor the golden apple throw n out to contentious ambition. It is that genuine patriotism which best prevents disturbance, by discouraging every vice that leads to it. It springs from a combination of disinterestedness integrity and content. It i the result of many long cherished domestic charities. Its seminal principles exist in a sober love of liberty, order, law, peace, and justice, the best safeguards of the constitution, and the only happiness of the people.
