The act passed by the last Legislature.-prohib
iun; the circulation in this State of the notes .of
the Banks of other States, under the denomination

subjects it to a penalty of $500; by any public of
ficer, $100; and by a private citizen, $25 otie-half
of which goes to the informer. The act of passing
or receiving small notes is also made a misde
meanor punishable by a fine of from $1 to $100.

Boy Destroyed by a Bear.
A most singular and unfortunate event occurred
in the fear ofthe Caholic Chapel in Portland, (N.
B.) on Tuesday last. It appears that two young
lads went about a mile into the woods for the pur
pose of picking berries, when a bear deliberately
walked from the thicket and carried one of them
off. The ill-fated ladwas between 1 1 and 12 years
of age, the son of a sHfring man named Goyle,
who thus without a moment's notice was deprived
of a promising boy. Search was afterwards made,"
and the mutilated remains were discovered. The
bear was accompanied by a cub, and was evident
ly its dam. , k
.A Beautiful Reply.
A young girl about seven years of age, was as
k'ed by an atheist, how large she supposed her
God to be ; to which she with admirable readiness
replied : He is so great that the heavens cannot
contain him, and yet so kindly condescending, as
to dwell in my little heart.
A prize fight took place a few days since, eight
miles from Nottingham, England, between Rich

They fought one hour and twenty minutes, when
Brown was completely exhausted. He was con

mediately after. Hall and his seconds at onjjes
caped as fast as their legs could carry them. The
police started in pursuit, and succeeded in cap

men, women, and childrenchiefly the two latter

excited.
We have never seen, and expect never again to
to see (says the Tribune) such a grand and im
posing sight .as the immense funeral procession of
Gen. Taylor presented on'iuesday. JJeloved oy
the whole people mourned by the whole people, it
seemed as if the whole people turned out. to do
him reverence. The side streets, a block or two
from the procession, were as ailent as if untenan

advantage of a sight was occupied. It was late
at night, nearly midnight, in fact, before the drum
beat and homewaid march ceased. Jt was, in

like again.
Prof. Webster to be Iluug.
The committee of Pardons, to whom were refer
red petitions for the commutation of the punish
ment of Prof. Webster, on Friday morning, the
19th ult. presented a unanimous report against
such commutation. The report was accepted by
the council, one member, Mr. Copeland, voting in
the negative. Friday, the 30th of August, is the
day fixed for his execution giving him just, six
weeks to prepare lor death.
The decision is accompanied by a long legal re
port of the circumstances of the whole case.
We quote from Boston papers the following
items :
Dr. Webster first learned the decision of the
Executive Council, in his case, by reading the re-

slated upon reliable authority, that he had expres
sed of late no desire to have his sentence commu
ted, and that he appears to have a more- realizing
sense of the awful situation in which he is placed,
and also, that he is evidently preparing himself
for the awful fate which surely awaits him.
On Friday afternoon Mis. Webster and family
visited him in his cell. They had not therj learned
the decision ofthe Governor and Council.
His Excellency, Gov. Briggs, promptly affixed
hJs sionature t0 lne . Death. Warrant," which was
duly transmitted to. the High Sheiiff.
The family of the prisoner, for a long time past,
have studiously avoided reading any hewspapeis
whatever, and hence cannot have, been advised
from that source of the progress of any matter per
taining to the painful case, in which they are so
immediately interested.
The prisoner expressed a hope ori Saturday
morning that his family would be kept in ignor
ance of the day fixed for his execution.
In connection with this case, it may be stated,
a somewhat singular coincidence, that John VY.
Webster committedlhe murder on Friday he was
arrested on Friday The verdict ofthe Cononer's
(secret) Inquest was made public on Friday one
ofthe regular days selected for his family to visit
him at the jail was on Friday, the final decision
ofthe Executive was given on Friday, and his
execution is to take place on Friday.
We learn that the health of Prof. Webster con
tinues unbroken, except from the efTect of long
confinement and exclusion from the fresh air.
There have been gros'sly exaggerated reports in
regard to the character of the meals furnished him.
They aie simple and moderate, and he often shares
them with his fellow-prisoners.
The death warrant was on Monday officially
read to Professor Webster. He was perfectly
calm, and said, "God's will be done ; I am recon
ciled to my fate."'
On Friday evening the barn of Mr. Erasmus
Krcamer, in Upper Nazareth township, was des
troyed by fire, together with its contents, consist
ing of Hay, Straw, Thrashing Machine, and his
entire crop of Grain, the last of which had been
hailed in but a. few hours before the fire took place.
The bam was one of the largest class of-Swiss
bank-barns, the value of which, together with its
contents, cannot be short of $3,500. The fire was
first discovered by Mr. Wootrmg, Steward of the
Poor House, who serit two of the paupers down
(about a quarter of a mile,) and with their as
sistance Mr. Kreamer succeeded in saving all his
horses and cattle, except one, whjch was burpt to
death in the barn yard. A large dwellingdiouse
was near the fire, but was saved by the favorable
state of the wind.
Although the fire was abput 8 miles from town,,
its reflection was distinctly seen in this-place,
Our energetic fire companies were soon on the
road, expecting to find it within a, few miles. Af
ter dragging their apparatus four or five miles they
all relumed except the Phoznix Company, They
continued out dragging their carriage and hose
a distance of more than eight miles over a hilly
road in an hour and a half, in order to assist in
extinguishing the flames. They got upon; the
ground in time to be of great use in saving por

lifted from a sincere conviction of their benefi-

has been more particularly directed to the in-

ciaiion of farmers under ihe liile ofthe "Bucks

cajoled, wheedled, duped him with the notion of
heing a no-party President, and as such re-elected
bya general uprising of the People regardless of ;
party distinctions. With a blinding mist thus
cast before his eyes, Mr. Tyler walked onward to'
his doom, waking too late to find himself betrayed
by those he had trusted and scorned by those he
had too iaitntully served, l ney leu mm onnuiom
into , the camp of his enemies, and these rewarded -
his infidelity to those by whom he had been elect
ed by like infidelity to him. When he ceased" to
have 4 Spoils, to dole out, or power to misusethey
ceased their mockery of regard lor nim. and ne
left the White House a more forsaken, fallen' Ber
ing than ever Aaron Burr had been.
The same class of hybrid politicians have.djs-.
covered rare merits in Mr. Fillmore since hissud?
den elevation 4o the Presidency ; they are voluble
in his laudation and prompt in his defense against
any intimation that he. may have erred in judg
ment ; they are fond of drawing comparisons be
bftween him and Gen. .Taylor to the disparage
ment of the latter; they intimate that his access
sion has rescued the country from great evils into
which it was rushing under the guidance of his
predecessor ; they announce that he has changed
the policy of the Administration ; and, in short,
they would like to lead him the dance they led
Tyler, to a similar doom.
There is one obstacle to the realization of
their hopes which these gentlemen may as well
apprehend, fortbey will find it a very serious one:
Mr. Fillmore is a Whig. Grind him in any mill
you please, and he will come out that. He did
not turn Whitf at the-eleventh hour, as Tyler did
from hostility to General Jackson's Force bill,
but he has wintered and summered in the Whig
ranks, and, whatever may be his faults, political
tergiversation is not among them. His attachment
to his party is genuine he would not swerve a
hair from his principles if he could thereby secure
a re-election from his life-long adversaries in
deed, he would refuse a re-election at their hands.
No man in the Nation felt more deeply or resent
ed more-indignantly the treachery of Tyler, arki
merely because it was treachery, impelled by a
sordid ambition, mere never was u greater mis
take made than employing upon him the arts,, of
seduction that proved successful with Tyler.-r
Mr. Fillmore is a Whig in every fiber instinct ively
a lover of Peace and an enemy of Conquest
a Champion of Internal Improvement, of Pro- 1
tection to Home Industry, and that whole benefir
cent System which recognizes the diffusion, of
Plenty and the diminution of Misery as among the
legitimate duties of Government. There was nev
er a more unpromising subject for the experiments,
of the hybrids than he is.
j?or our own part, our day of wholesale laud
ation of all the public acts of Statesmen of
our own party is over. Jf the Governor of our
choice, or the President in whose principles we -confide,
commits an error, in our judgment, we
