for the increasing demand. Medical agencies, groce

THE OLDEST MINISTER IN THE WORLD.

Frankton, N Y and is said to be engaged More or
less, every Sabbath, in his holy profession; Tbef Rev,
Thos Houston, in the Baptist Register, gives an ais•
count of a recent visit to him, in company with Deices;
Rufus Smith, in which he says;
On arriving at the house; we inquired for father
Harvey, and were informed that he was !Amadei "iota.

man 109 years of age. I had notproceeded far, bow,
ever, before I was swamped, and gladly returned noi
the house. The old gentleman, being informed of our
arrival, soon came in, but little fatigued, and greeted
us most cordially.
After being seated he related correctly many chn
cumstances connected with our first acquaintance,
naming the. text from which I preached, also the oim
from which he preached in the afternoon of the same
day,(five years ago) together with many other inci•
dents, which occurred previous to my leaving Frank.

old should remebet so distinctly eventsof so remote a

his discourses as when you heard him at this place
three years since.

The next day, (Sabbath,) he rode nearly five miles

In many respects I think Father Harvey the most
remarkable man of the age. He is doubtless the old,

No man of his age can probably endure mote than
he; his retentive memory, hia strong voice, clear eye,
sight and good bearing, his physical and mental energy
and above all, his deep-toned piety cannot fail of pro.
ducing a lasting impression upon the minds of all whq
become acquainted with him.
LATE FROM HAVANA.
More Disclosures.—The Light of the Reef" of
the 15th inst., published at Key West, Fa., contains
the followingt
IV° are informed by a gentleman just arrived front
Havana that an excitement is still raging there, and
hundreds of free negroes and mulattoes are leaving
daily. New schemes fur taking possession of the is
land have been developed which, had they not been
detected, would most certainly have led to as great a
massacre as that of the island of St. Domingo. They
were brought to light by the execution of the captain
of a band of robbers. It appears that a few days be,
fore his execution he sent to the Captain General, in
forming him that on condition of his granting big par;
don he would impart to him information which would
be the means of saving the island from a general mast
sacre. And on the refusal of that officer to listen to
him, he sent for a lawyer, to whom he gave his papers,
making him swear that he would destroy them imme
diately after his execution. Among the papers left in
charge of the lawyer, NILS an agreement and a plan for
the massacre, drawn up and signed by sia or seven
hundred of the most influential men of the place. The
lawyer immediately conceived a plan by which he
could make his fortune—and accordingly, he went to
nearly all the persons whose names were on the parer,.,
and received a large bribe from each for his silence.
One of them, however. was too poor to pay his de
mands, and him he had brought up before the authori
ties, where he confessed the whole plot. The whole
of them were immediately attested, the lawyer wit

i lies as soon as the poison began to take effect upon the
soldiery, and thus despatch the whole white popula
tion at the same time.
The same gentleman informs us that on the day be
left, six hundred free negroes, took their departure on
hoard a British steamer, amidst the curses and exe
crations of an infuriated populace.
We have received late files of Havana papers, het

prohibited from giving any account of the insurrection.
ST. DOMINGO
We learn from an officer of the United States NA{-
vy, who arrived ou Wednesday from Jamaica, that
the civil war is still raging in the Island of & Do:
mingo between the blacks and browns, and us the num
ber of the former is greater than the latter by 20 to I t
the browns are flying from the different ports to Jae
moica, for the preservation of their lives, leaving their
own property, as well as that of foreigners, consigned
to them, (of which there is s great amount) to the
mercy of the half civilized eogroes. At present the
sloop-of•war Prehle is the only protection we have for
the safety of the property and lives of our fellow citi
zens in that unfortunate island. Cul. Harrison, Amer
ican consul at Jamaica, gave the first intelligence 141
her commander, and he proceeded without delay-to
Aux Cayes. 'When our infornaant left Jamaica, it was
understood that the commercial agent and gri t .ish
sill had taken refuge on board the flreblis, and diet at
least 300 persons bad been taken out of prison by the
negro chieftain Action, who caused them all to be whip
ped, whipping many of them with his own hands, after
which the surNivors were again sen; tco prison.
AN cLoiogra PICTURE
We extract the following frog the recent aridness of
the Hon George Bancroft, the distiegnished historian,
delivered, at the great Democratic Mass Meeting, at
Concord, New Hapshire. on the 6th of June. Praia,
from such a source is precious, indeed:
In presenting to you the name of James K Polk, of
Tennessee. f•ir the office of Presidenp my hunt word,
said Mr Bancroft. is this—his private life is pure.
From boyhood, the career of James K Polk has been
unsullied. At the University he was noticed foe his,
sobriety and diligence, obtaining thehighest honors in
his class. Educated in the bosom of a pious family,
and in the Presbyterian church, he bas ever by his ex
ample manifested, by the mast regular attendance, the
truest respect for the institutions of public worship.—
Ile is ignorant of every game of hazard; he knows no
thing of cards; his band--I speak On the authority of
men of honor, who live near him who know him well,
and would not deceive mo—his hand hut peper beea
raised against the life of his fellow wan. Without
taking the pledge, and without pretension, he abstains
from the nse of ardent spirits, and illustrates by his
exam ple the virtues of strict temperance. In a word,
his private character is unblemished 115 a Man and a
Lelnistian. I say this reluctantly. ReliOon is the

and rule the life; not be hawked abort as a cow
