The death of George Washington
*' Lafayette, son of Gen. Lafayette, is
announced by letter from Paris. Ie
accompanied his father to the United
States, and deservedly shared the man
ifestations and regards 6f the American
people. Ilis dissolution took place at
Lagrange, thefilmily-seat. The corpse
was brought to the small private ceme
terv within the walls of the ancient con
vent of Iiopus. where repose the dead
of several noble familes-De Nonilles.
, De Grammont, Lamoignon, and others.
B On this spot, under a simple tomb, lies
.1 Gen. Lafayette. About two hundred
(of the immediate relatives, friends and
acquaiitances of the deceased son wit.
t nessed the obsequies. Rain fell in tor
rents during the whole ceremony.
LThis increased the gloom of the scene,
and near were the sepulchres of several
victims of the Reign of T-error.
George Washington Lafayette was dur
in-, the stormiest days of the first revo.

Washington, by whom he was formally

The Great Cow Case.-Thc case of
James A. Maynard vs. Cummings Li

the results of appealing to the law. In
this case the plaintifl alleged that 'the
defendant, to whom he entrusted a cow
worth $100 or more, had, by negligence
inprop er food, or some other cause, all
owed her to die. Of course, in such a
case all the cow knowledge of the
Commonwealth was in requisition, and
the matter was so mystified that two or
three jm'i.s . were totally unable to
agree upon a verdiet. At last a jury
had been f. und who, after considering
and sleeping on the matter for twenty
six hours, agreed to give the plaintiff
one dollar damages. each party paying
his own costs, which it is said, will
amount to $1000 or more.--Boston

Ci-nanu ]tusn FENcE.--This is quite
a coImon fence in Virginia, and is oe
casionally seen in New Jersey and Del
aware. If well built, it is a good and
durable fence. It is most usually
made iii thii way. first, throw up a
ridge of eardi about a foot above the
level, and( in this dIr've stakes on a lie
two to three feet apart, three and a half'
to tour feet high, and( then wattle in
the ceular limbs, beating them down
with a mallI as complactly as possible.
'Ihis fencee will last good as long as the
staukes enuruue. Some leave the stakes
about a foot above the fence at first, and
dlrive thiem downi as they decay, adding
more brush at the same time, and thus
thc fencee will last fifteen or twenty'
years, with less repairs than a commoin

EiCOURAGING'I Nts.-Donit b dis.
courangtd, it In tlit outsA of' lire,' things
do not go on smoothly. It seldom hap.
pens that the hopes wo cherish ror the fu.
ture'i're realize-d. Te pnti,'of life ap.
poars smooth and eusy; btut, .'ven we
come to travel it. we find it all~ up-hill,
and generally rough enough. Tiejourn.
cy is a laborious one; and whether poor or
wcaltliy, high or low, we shall find it to
our disiappointment, cheerful faa possi
ble, and to allow our way through the
great crowded- "hoping fur .little, yet
striving for much," is. perhiaps, -th6 best
plan. Don't be discouraged, If occasion -
ally you slipi dowhrby tqie way, and your
neighbour trends over you a little; or, in
other word, don't let it failure or two dis.
hearten you. Accidents will happen, mis
calculations will sometimes be made;
things will turn out difierently from our
expectations, and we taty be sufferers.
It is worth while to remember, that for.
tune is like the Akies in April, s'metines
clear and favourable; and, as It would be
fully to despair of uguin seeing the sun,
beenuise to.duy is storm', so it is unwise
to sinIk ito lespondenicy , wlen fortune
frowns, since, in the coinnion -couirse of
things, she nmv surely be expected to
smile and smile again )on't be dis
couraged if you are rtceived it the peo.
ple of tie world. From such soitrces as
those you may be most inexpectedly de.
ceived, and yo will feel sore undLer such
deceptinns; but to these you may .b come
used: if you rare as otlier people do, they
will lose their novelty before you grow
gr-y, and you will learn to trust more
enutiously, and examine their character
closely, before-you allow great opportu
nities to injure. Don't be discouraged un
der any eircunstances. Go steadily for
wardi. Rauher contsult your owni consci
ence than the opinion of men, though the
latter is not to be disregnrded. le in.
induristrious. be sober. be honest; dealing
inl perfect kildness with lll who come in
your way, exercising a neighbtiourly and
obliging spirit in your whole intercourse;
and, if you do not prosper as rapidly now
as some or your neighbora,. depend upon
it you will be at least as happy.

with water, or if 1ossible, raise it in the
gloss even higher than the edge, by~
letting one drop fall at a time until the
wrater presenits a convex surfatce.
When this is done, drop into the glass
as nanny common pmts as will fill it, and
the water will not overflow. T1his sim.
