In purauimce of thia net, Governor Johnson purchased the Hermitage for the sum of fortyeiglit thousand dollar*, and on Wednesday arrived in Washington nnd made a formal tender of the projwtv, with the condition annexed, to the President.

In 1803 I witnessed tho dignity, impartiality, and winning grace with which Aaron Hurr presided in the Senate of the United States during the trial of Judge Chase, impeached for partiality and injustice towards John Fries, indicted under the Alien | and Sedition Law. HIS TRIAL AT RICHMOND. I atlende I hi* trial nt Richmond, when j he himself wns indicted for treason, llisj Iimminent counsellor was Luther Martin, of] laltimore, my father's lawyer, neighbor and \ friend. His daughter, Maria, afterwards celebrated as Mrs. Richard Kayual Kevne, invited my sister and self to dino with Col. Burr. Ho was then living in a home standing alone, around which was a patrol of guards. The dinner was superb, abounding irt all | the luxuries which Virginia's generous soil yields in lavish abundance. Twenty ladies i and gentlemen of rank, fortuuo, and fashion, graced the festive board. He wns esteemed a persecuted martyr.; Distress, in every form and shape, makes an < irresistible appeal to woman's sympathy ; her tears often How for the sufTeiing of the I criminal who expiates bis crimes on the gibbet. IIIK TENDERNESS FOR TIIE SEX. On this occasion, Burr's fascinating flatteries were lavished indiscriminately on the i sex in general. Man ho had ever found ; treacherous?woman always true to sustain ! hint in adversity?solacing in nfHiction, and ! giving a charin to life, without which life' itself was not worth possessing. Ills REMOVAL TO IMtlSON*. The Grand Jurv finding a true hill, he' was forthwith removed to ilie State Prison, i There we followed him?ho received us in his usual bland, courteous maimer, apologized for our being introduced into his bed chamber?his drawing-room being then deranged by the tilting up of his ice-house, which whs, iu fact, in his chimney corner. f nkll ni'iit iii/v, .in.itryittlrt,!

The trial was tedious ami prolonged. I j travelled on to the borders of North Caroli . na, lingered for n while at tho noble man- j sion of Liuly Shipwith. On my return I found tho persevering Attorney-Gc-uorul, George Hay, fatigued, woiricd. 44 Would that 1 could only hang upon a; gate and have a little negro tflU.iring ino toand fro all day. The Law's delay?the sptT-1 cial pleadings of the bar, its interminable I controversies, have worn out and exhausted i me. I shan't be able to hang Purr, but will j be content to bang myself on a gate." Thus spoke George Hay, than whom never lives! a purer patriot, or a more upright, conseicn- i tious man. Ilis wife was a daughter of1 James Monro, the modest retiring President, and a worthy compeer of Jetlerson and ! Mad inMI. 1'rui.A in linn ?(Ii:iiuI0i1 _ ? . I IMS ACUC1TTAL. Jlurr was acquitted.

Colonel," I said he, " they aro playing the Jtoguo's! March, with charged Iwiyonets." Then in-j dows were closed, the wine circulated, and : we calmly arrived at the conclusion that! Capt Fraily was a very officious volunteer. I TUB TIIRBAT TO MOU IIIM. The next duy, strolling down Market-, street, arm in arm with my persecuted | friend. Mr. Hughes overtook tin.

With his accustomed celerity of action And excellent judgment, the Colonel enlied a hack and jum|>ed into it, " Colonel, my friend, Harney, will accompany you.

Tnis was the last of (Jolonel Burr.

LOliMYIN'O Attn MATTIIBW L. DAVIS. Lobbying (nov an anomaly) was in full force in those days. Several important hills had passed the Now York Legislature, and some were so uncharitable as to insinuate that improper means had been resorted to, and my friend Davis was accused of bring itig about this successful issue. A hwlv of rank and fashion condescended (and ladies rarely condescend to mingle in any out of their appr priate sphere?the limits of the domestic circle) to say many hard things of my friend Davis. In one instance she went so far to insinuate she could calmlv see him hung. Davis went to Iter door, rung the hell, seat up his name, an.l was promptly answered she was not and never would l>c it I home to Mr. Davis. " Prav ask her," said lie, *' if she has heard from her husband at Niagara." lie was forthwith invited tip stairs.

" Good heavens, sir," said she, I " to what purpose is this letter destined ?" ! 'To remain in your possession, inadnin, to! he disposed of hy yon at your own pleas- j uto." "My kind fiiend," exclaimed she. I " how can I ever repay such an act of mi- | parclleled magnanimity ?" " Ever after j wards," said !>avis, " she almost broke her, neck in extending her head out of the ear- | liage window to greet me as she passed." lieIIn, IX UES. ITI'TIOX.

Passing through Washington on mv return from Kiclttnond, 1 was invited l>y Colonel Isaac Coles, his Secretary, into Mr. Jefferson's private sanctum* He was seated in his morning gown quite at ease, (i was not,) amusing himself hy tossing his slipper up in tlie air ami catching it on tho point of his toe as it caiuo down.

The Venom of Snakes The ltritish Society of Arts have lately mede experiments with the view of testing the effincy, as an antidote to the biteofvenomotta snakes, of a root which has hoen recently taken to Kugland bv the Hon. U. Temple, late Chief Justice of Honduras, and which, if not the veritable guaco so famed ' among the Indian tribes for its medicinal j properties, resembles it closely in appear-1 auce, belongs to the same class of serpenta-j ria, ami is universally reputed throughout , Cential Ameiica to possess similar virtues. Mr. Temple, while admitting that there was' reason to doubt whether botanists would ac-' cepl the lioib as identical with guaeo, ol?-j served that it was so regarded by the natives of Honduras, who invariably had tccourse to it when bitten by snakes?a ea lamity to which they were constantly liable' while employed in cutting down logwood 1 and mahogany, or engaged in pursuit of game. Unfortunately, the experiments were not | so successful as they might have been antic- j ipaled. It was determined to test the po , tency of the plant, both as a rcpi-llant and ai I remedy, and for this purpose some eight or j nine drachms of the infusion vvore given to I a healthy rabbit which was then put into ' the name box with two puff-adders of the j deadliest reputation, procured from the* Zoo- j I logical Hardens.

I>v carrying the ideas of others imagine that they are the only benefactors of the human race, they handle and collect and dispose of solids and fluids, which nrc in bales, boxes, casks, or hogsheads, and imagine that this is the greatest of occupations, because they so frequently become wealthy by the opera-] lion ; they look at gen ions as a shadowy and unsubstantial possession, not capable of being itemized, recorded in a journal, or enrlied out in a ledger. They consider brains as an unlucky suit of inheritance, and one that does not pay well ; indeed, they have a sort of pity for those persons who arc particularly talented and clever, and ask, with an air of conunisseration, "What under] the sun do these people do to obtain a liv- ] tug r They little know that they arc reaping the rewards of the very w it and ingenuity they despise; they are, in fact, without knowing it, packhorses to carry the burdens which men of genius have laid upon their hacks, and the)-owe all their prosperity to the employment of an inferior tact of their own.

Literary labors are always of the highest importance, because they arc intimately connected with the creation and transmission of ideas. The newspaper press, which keeps the world in acquaintanceship, is but the expression of the minds of those who look and think, and give utterance to their thoughts, and yet how little is appreciated as it should be, that great mental power. There are no laborers in the great field of human exertion who deserve more of man kind than these laborers in the vast and rich mines of thought, and yet there are hut few of the world's workers who are so illy rewarded, as literary men.

Milk should never be set for butter in a dark damp cellar?as is the case with butter-makers in ibis section?as the crcain is thereby moulded before it lias bad time to rise, which gives the butter a mouldy taste. ; ' ? The milk is allowed to set too lonjr.bg3. The cream is kept too long before it is churned, after it is skimmed, which gives it the taste of the other two, and also a sour la-te. 4. The butter should never 1 e washed in water, because it takes away that beautiful nronia so essential to good butter. 5. It should never be taken in a person's warm hands, as the heat melts a certain portion of the glolntle*, which gives it an oily taste, atul makes it become ranced very soon. G. The milk should be set in good clean tin or earthen pans, in a dry, open, airy, and shady place above ground, if possible, although a cellar may be so built and venti tilated as to answer the purpose. It should never set over twenty-four hours, in warm weather; and for a dairy of three cows or over, the cream should be churned every morning, and never be kept over forty-eight hours in warm weather, in cold weather it may bo kept longer. It should always be about the same beat that milk is when drawn from (bo cow, and chut lied steadily, and I have never known it to fail of coming readily, (we use a cylinder churn ;) it is then taken from the churn with ii wooucu mute lulo n wooden tray wliiclt lias been well scalded and cooled in pure cold water; tlio salt is then worked in, to suit the taste, with the ladle, which is easily done, with a little practice, and the buttermilk well worked out ; it is then set away in a cool place for about twenty four hours, when it is well worked over again, as long as milk or pickle can be worked out. lint ter made ?n this way, and put down in stone pots, and kept troin tho air, will keep for a long time.

Sufferings of a Hunting Party in the Far West Tlie telegtapb lets recently brought intelligence, by way. of St. Loui*, of imich suffering from lite extreme cold on lite Western plains and at other point*. A single instance is furnished by the St. Joseph correspondent of (lie St. Louis Jo-publican, under date of Jan. 3d. We have information of the return of a hunting party from the Little Blue, in a mo*t deplorable condition. They were, Mr. James Stiingfellow. Mr. Van Dorser and M r. Morrcll?the first from Atchison. K. T., and the two latter from South Carolina. Gen. Matthews saw them after their hair-breadth escape*, and gives the following thiilling ! narrative:? When they readied the Big Blue they fixed their encampment, but finding only a few buffalo, they left their camp in charge of a negro mail belonging to Mr. Van I>orscr, and proceeded over to the Little Blue. On the first eve ting out they were overtaken by a storm of wind and snow, and lost 1 their way. They wandered for eight days ' without fire or food. They blew the lubes out of their guns, in their efforts to kindle a ! fire, and then threw their guns away. The j foc.t of Van Dorser and Morrcll became so frosted, and wore so exhausted from fatigue 1 and starvation, that Mr. Stringfollow, who 1 had had some mountain experience, was I scarcely able to get them to move along. I He encouraged them by every mean*, until uiey nnaiiy reacltoil u habitation, and were i saved. Mr. Morrull and Mr. Van Dorser, ' however, will lose their feet, and Mr. Stringfellow some of his toes. Their sufferings | were beyond description, and they will oe 1 ill for seine weeks to come.

They aro still fresh in our memory. Wo recollect as we listened to his short breathings, and saw him writhing under the anguish of disease; how our tninds ! ran out upon the world and visited tho i lonely cabins, gloomy prisons, and dark cells ! of the sick ami dying. We thought how many voices in the loneliness of that hour were exclaiming with sorrowful hearts, " How slow tho night rolls away!" Yew, with intense anxiety tlioy watched tho windows, if possible, to catch the first faint stroakings of morning light. One who has watched by the bed-side of suffering Immunity through lite long, still night, when the great heart of tho world is hushed to repose, and tho solitude of death cast its gloom upon the bosom of nature, can tell the solemn import of the words uttered by this afilicted being as be grappled with the strong arm of disease, and endeavored to ! watd off tho keen pointed shafts.
