In making their returns, on Monday, Judge inquired of them if they had visited hotels and saloons once a month as the law requires of then , also, if they knew of any violation ol the liquor law etc. This propound ing of question?, was new to tin boys and took them by storm, how ever, their answers were satisfactory and they were excused and their re turns filed. Thos. Canglcy, con stable of Lopez, was called back the second time, he, evading tin question of whether he had visited the hotels in his bailiwick monthly, in his first examination; the last however, proved satisfactory.

An association to suppress tb< habit of "treating"' has been formed in Philadelphia, consisting of in em bers of the Union League club of that city.

The mem bers of the "Anti Treating League' do not promise to abstain from drink They merely promise to abstain froir asking or causing others to driuk They allege that because one mem bur of a social group thinks he need to use a stimulating beverage li< should not solicit those around bin who do not foel that they need it, t> join him in the indulgence tli.it h craves.

The date of the the paper is Saturday January 4tk, 1800 and is published by Samuel Freer & Son. The sheet is a four column folio and the editorial page is draped in mourning by exceedingly heavy column rules. Our readers will notice at this early date the letter *»■" was pronounced "s." For in stance the word "sir" was thus "fir.'' The following said by the Senate and the President's answer and the entombing of the Father ot our coun try will no doubt prove of much in terest to our readers. To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. THE Sencate of the United State:- respectfully take leave, llr to ex press to jou their deep regret foi the less their country lias sustained iu the death of General Georg< Washington.—This event, so dis tressing to all our fellow citizens mist be puculiarly heavy to yon who have long beeu aflbciated with Uim iu patriotism. Permit us fir, to mingle our tears with yours: on this occasion it is manly to weep To lose such a man at such a crilis Is 110 common calamity to the world . jur country mourns her Father. The Almighty disposer of liumar ivents hits taken from us our greates: Benefactor and ornament. It be comes m to submit with ltv-io ice t lim, who maketh darkness his Pa zillion." With patriotic pride we reviev he life of our Washington, and com pare him with those of othor countries ■vho have been pre-eminent in fame Vnciect and modern fame arc di niuished before him. Greatness an< : juilt have too often been allied >ut is whiter than it is brilliant The destroyers of nations stocc' ibasliod at the majesty of his virtue. i.t reproved the temperance of theii lUibUion and darkened the splcndoi if victory. TLe scones closed and wi ire 110 longer anxious lest misfortum -hould sully his glory ;he has trav :led onto the end of his journey, md carried with liini an increasing veight of honor: ho deposited i safely, where misfortune cunno l arnish it—where malice canno: ilast it. Favored of heaven, 110 de parted without exhibiting the vr.mk less ot humanity ; magnanimous is lentil, the darkness of tlio gravi sould not obscure his brightness. Such was the man whom we de ilore.—Thanks to God, his glory i ionsuniinated. Washington yet ives upon earth in his spotless ex unple— his spirit is iu Heaven. Let his country men consocrati he memory of the heroic General he patriotic Statesman, and tin (rirtuoi'.s sage ; let them teach theii •iiildren never to forget that tin ruitsofhis labours, and his ex unple are their inheritance.

Malice could never blast his honor, aud Envy made liitn u lingular exception to lier universal rule.—For himself he liad lived enough, to life and glory. For his lellow citizen#, if their prayers could have been answered he would have been immortal. For me his de parture is a moft unfortunate mo ment. Trufting however, in the wise and righteous dominions of Providence over passions of men, and the result of tiieir councils and actions, as well ay over their Livos, nothing remains for me but HUMBLE ItESIONATION. His example is now complete, and it will teach wisdom and virtue to Magistrates, Citizens aud men, not only in the present age, but in fu ture generations, as long as our History fhall be road.
