'Come,' said he; olet us spare our- e selves the six weeks which still t separate me from the fifteenth of t September, 1838;' and he loaded t the pistol which he held in his t hand, preparing himself to put it n to his forehead; for he who knew d every thing, knew that it is at the temple, and not in the mouth, that y"ou must fir-e a pistol, if you I wish certain and instant death.

The inventor claima that he can produce any kind <f coarse or fine linens, cordage, &c., at a very much less price than cotton could be manufactured for within the past ten years. The cost of raising cotton is very great, and the crop is not always certain, whereas flax is nearly as certain as grass." At a recent baptism of nine per sons in Derby, Vermont, by a methodist minister, four modes of baptism were practiced. Two of the candidates stood at the water's edge and were sprinkled ; some went into the water a little way. knelt down and had water pour< d on them ard somn were immersed.
