DIED,
In East-Windsor, Conn., on the 6th inst., Dr. Elihu Tudor, aged 93. Dr. Tudor was the son of the Rev. Samuel Tudor of Wind- sor, Pawquannock) and a great-grandson of Owen Tudor, who came from Wales with the Puritans, and was one of the first settlers of the town of Windsor. Samuel, the son of Owen, with a few others, began the settlement on the east side of the river about 1677. The Doctor was born Feb. 1733,and graduated at Vale College in 1750. For nearly four years he had been the first of the living in the catalogue of that semi- mary. Early in the French war he joined the army as a surgeon, and was with it through the war. He was with Gen. Wolfe in the memorable campaign of 1759, and at the siege and capture of the Havana in 1769. He continued iu England after the peace, attached to the army, and visited and practised in the public hospitals, to perfect his skill in his profession. At his request, he was discharged from the army, made an half-pay officer, which was con- tinned during life, returned to this country and settled on his paternal inheritance, in 1762.
In Woodstock. Vt., Deac. Daniel Ralph, aged 79. He was one of the first settlers of the town, and served in the revolution- ary war.
/ Iu Randolph, Vt. Capt. Solomon Orcutt, aged 96, an officer of the Revolution. He joined the armies of His country at the com- mencement of the struggle for independ- ence, and continued in the service until the
return of peace. He was concerned in sev- eral of the important engagements which occurred at that period. He was once tak- en prisoner, and, for several months, expe- rienced all the rigor of a " British floating dungeon." His mental faculties, until a short time before his death, were so far un- impaired that he could relate occurrences near a century past, with correctness ; and dwelt with much delight upon the scenes of the Revolution.
In Moira, Franklin county, N. Y., Mr. Thomas Mead, formerly of Middlesex, Vt. Mr. Mead was the first settler in that town, about 43 years ago, and for three years there was but one other resident within 30 miles of him-during which period he was obliged to go 33 miles to mill, guided by a line of marked trees. He was a revolution- ary soldier, and was one of those who suf- fered severely by continental money, having lost about $3000 by its failure.

Near Cranbury, Middlesex county, (N.J.) on the 11th ult , David Stout, aged 92 years; the widow of the deceased is 83 years of age-they lived together in the bands of wedlock 66 years, having had 12 children, 63 grand children, and 63 great grand children. The whole number of their de- scendants now living is 110 .-- The deceased was the grand child of Penelope a Danish lady, who emigrated to this country about the commencement of the settlement of New-Jersey. Her husband, herself, with part of the crew, having landed from the vessel they came in, were seized hy the In- dians ; they killed her husband and left her for dead -- she recovered so far as to at- tempt to regain the place where they land- ed. On her way she fell in with two Indi- ans; one of them was for putting her to death-the other opposed it-a conflict en- sued and the hostile Indian was killed. The other took the poor woman to his wig- wam and administered to her necessities until she recovered from her wounds. He then told her she might remain with him or go to her countrymen. She chose the lat- ter, and soon after married a young man by the name of Stout, and from this con- nection sprung the numerous family of Stouts that now live in New-Jersey.

I have a gush
Of wild and passionate thoughts upon my heart, For which words have no sound; and can it be That these fine impulses, these lovely dreams, Burning with their own beauty, are but given To make me the low slave of vanity ! Heartless and humbled, oh ! my own sweet power, Surely thy songs were made for more than this! What a worst waste of feeling and of life Have been the imprints on my roll of time --- Too long, too much ! To what use have I turned The golden gifts, in which I pride myself? They are profaned ;- with their pure ore I've made, An idol, whose sway is but in the breath Of passing worshippers. Alas ! that ever Praise should have been what it has been to me ! The opiate of my heart, which bas annulled The happiness that sought but for itself.
It is in vain ; the wretchedness that clings Upon me like a curse, is in myself. Spirit of Fame, what hast thou been to me, But the destroyer of life's calm content ? I feel so more than ever, now thy power Is weakened over me : once I could find A de:p and dangerous delight in thee ; Bet that isover. I am too much awake; Light-but not morning's light, has burst upon me ; Such light as will burst in upon the tomb When all but judgment's over. Ob ! my heart, My once sweet Paradise of hope and thought, How changed thou art ! What is the gift of mind Butas a barrier to so much that males Our life endurable, companionship,
Meeker affections, calm and gentle thoughts, Till the vexed spirit seals with discontent, A league of sorrow and of vanity,
Built on that future which will never be.
I would resign the words of praise which now Make my check crimson and my pulses beat, Could I but deem that when my heart is cold And my lip passionless, my songs would be Numbered 'mid the young minstrel's first delights, And murmured by the lover when his suit Calls upon poetry to breathe of love.

BULFINCH'S LIFE.
A printer, by the name of Benjamin P. Bulfinch. now of St. Augustine, has travelled through the twenty four states, on foot, and has issued propo- sals for publishing his life. What the man has done, no one knows, yet ev- ery one feels as though his own life had been an adventurous one, and wonders others do not view it in the same manner. We have a similar sort of feeling-and if our patronage would warrant it, should narrate the difficulties and hair-breadth escapes from constables, we have suffered in bringing the News Letter into exist- ence, The story is a marvelous one, and when the subscribers to Mr. Bul- finch's life, have satiated their curiosi- ty, we hope for their respectful atten- tions to our own subscription list.
Jacob Barker and Maj. Noah, both within the City and State of New York, seem to be at sword's points -- touching the sum of six hundred dollars-or thereabouts. Now we cannot enter into the spirit of the thing, never hav- ing had the fingering of so much cash, nor have we been ruined by any of friend Jacob's red bills, but we promise to defend all editors against the in- roads, encroachments and personal at- tacks of money lenders, the moment we are wronged ourselves.

DRAM-DRINKING.
A. Scotch parson once preached a long sermon against dram-drinking, a vice very prevalent in his parish, and from which report said he was not himself wholly exempt. "Whatever ye do, brethren," said he, " do it with moderation, and, aboon all, be moder- ate in dram-drinking. When you get up, indeed, ye may take a dram, anith- er just before breakfast, and perhaps anither after; but dinna be always dram-drinking. If ye are out in the morn, ye may just brace yerself up with anither dram, and perhaps take anither before luncheon, and some, I fear take ane after, which is no so very blamable ; but dinna be always dram- dram-draming away. Naebody can scruple for one just afore dinner, and when the dessert is brought in, an' after it's taken away ; and perhaps ane, or it may be twa, in the course of the afternoon, just to keep ye fra' drowaying and snozling ; but dinna be always dram-dram-drinking. Afore tea and after tea, and between tea and supper, and before and after supper, is no more than right and good ; but let me caution ye, brethren, not to be always dram-dramming. Just when ye start for bed, and when ye're ready to pop into't, and perhaps when ye
wake in the night, to take a dram or twa is no more than a Christian may lawfully do ; but brethren, let me caution you not to drink more than I've mentioned, or may be ye may pass the boonds of moderation.
A consciencious Banker says " If the use of Spirituous Liquors were to cease, the sins of the world would be reduced 90 per cent."
Two Wives .- This morning, two comely Irish women came into the po- lice office, accompanied by a friend, who said that the youngest of them wanted a warrant against her husband for assault and battery. The story told was, that Paddy had a few months since married a young creature for his wife, and they lived peaceably to- gether, so they did, except now and then a row when he was past himself with drink ; until this morning, when another wife and three children came and claimed our Irishman as her own. This caused no little disturbance, as might be expected, in the domestic circle, and the poor fellow, assailed on both sides by recriminations, vent- ed the vexation he felt by assaulting his more recent wife, driving both out of his dwelling, and locking his door against them. These sisters in afflic- tion concluded that the only method of unkennelling their joint husband, would be to get a warrant against him, and therefore, in the best humour im- aginable towards each other, they came up to the police office. The clerk, however, not being at leisure at the moment, they retired, and probably settled the matter some other way.
N. Y. American.
The Pawtucket Chronicle states, that measures have been taken to or- ganize a company for the construction of a Turnpike road between that place and Taunton. A very consid- erable portion of the stock, it is said, is already taken up, and the object of the company is to be carried into im- mediate execution.

AND CITY RECORD, APRIL 1, 1826.
Accident .- Yesterday morning a daughter of Mr. Fulhan, of this city, aged about six years, was knocked down by a horse attached to a loaded cart, at the corner of Gooch and Green streets, and had her thigh broken and her right cheek very much injured, so that her life is despaired of. We un- derstand no blame is to be attached to the driver of the horse .- Cour.
DOGS.
The Town Serjeant of Providence, some years since, by beat of drum, enjoined all persons to keep their dogs confined. Our City Marshall has pub- lished a law to that effect, and a dog going at large a short time since, was taken by the Scavengers and forcibly rescued by several men ; some of them were arrested and the trial occupied a great portion of two days in our Police Court-the judge found them guilty and was about fining them, when their attorney declared his intention of ap- pealing -- the fine was not imposed, but they were bound over to the Grand Jury, who did not find a Bill against them, notwithstanding, they did by force of arms, rescue the canine animal from the scavengers.
A CARD .-- The subscriber would do injustice to his feelings to leave Bos- ton without expressing his thanks to several unknown individuals, who have forwarded small sums of money to him, for the benefit of his friend, the " Boston Bard."
Those that contributed after the lecture in School street for his benefit, are also entitled to the subscriber's warmest thanks. The Bard, after ac- knowledging the receipt of the same, says, " I assure you, I feel'all the gra- titude of a broken and contrite spirit, for your benevolent exertions in my behalf. Believe me, my friend, that charity, springing spontaneously from the heart, is the strongest, and most beautiful pillar in the edifice of chris- tianity. I shall (if health, &c. per- mit,) return to Boston and Newbury- port, in the course of two months."
Boston March 28. HELL BARTON.
Return of Schools .-- The resolve of the General Court requiring returns to be made to the Secretary of State, on or before the first of May next, showing the condition of all the Com- mon Schools, Academies, &c. in the State, has been referred by the Board of Aldermen to Alderman Henry J. Oliver, to report a return, in compli- ance with the resolve, of the Schools, &c. of this city. This gentleman's known indefatigable industry and cor- rectness will justify us in expecting 8. report that will be much to the credit of the city, and the Masters and Mis- tresses of all the Academies and Schools in the city, we have no doubt will assist by imparting to him the number, condition &c. of their sever- al schools, that a full return may be made .--- Cent.
SWEARING REPROVED .- A profane Scotch nobleman, on seeing a large stone in the road which led to his country house, ordered his servant to send it to hell. "My lord," replied the servant " if I could send it to heav- en, I think it would be more com- pletely out of your lordship's way."

A NEW-ENGLAND BALLAD. Old Grimes is dead, that good old man, We ne'er shall see him more ; He wore a single breasted coat That buttoned down before.
His heart was open as the day, His feelings all were true ; His hair was some inclined to grey, He wore it in a queue.
Whene'er was heard the voice of pain, His breast with pity burned ; The large round head upon his cane From ivory was turned.
Thus, ever prompt at pity's call, Hle knew no base design ;
His eyes were dark, and rather small, His nose was aquiline.
He lived at peace with all mankind, In friendship he was true ; His coat had pocket holes behind, His pantaloons were blue.
But poor old Grimes it now at rest, Nor fears misfortune's frown :
Hic had a double breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find, And pay it its desert; He had no malice in his mind, No ruffle on his shirt.
His neighbours he did not abuse, Was sociable and gay ; He wore not rights and lefts for shoes But changed them every day.
His knowledge, hid from public gaze Ile never brought to view ; Nor made a noise town-meeting days, As many people do.
Thus, undisturbed by anxious cares, His peaceful moments ran ; And every body said he was A fine old gentleman.

For the Boston News Letter and City Record. THE OPENING SPRING.
Nature !- what sound is more ac- ceptable to the philosopher, than na- ture .- It is an open volume, where man may contemplate the divine char- acter of his Creator. The mountains rise in grandeur to the skies, and speak in mighty accents, the power of Him who rules the unnumberedworlds beyond the sphere of human vision. The ocean's billows roll in majesty, and lash the long resisting strand, which bounds their threatening devas- tations .- The sun shines brightly in the firmament, -- the moon, in mild- ness cheers the evening shades-and still we talk of nature, with highest admiration, when all the homage of our hearts is due the one Omnipotent who framed the whole from nothing.
The spring, with opening beauties, is bursting into life again ;- the flow- ers will soon yield up their rich per- fumes-the groves put forth their bud- ding leaves-the songsters of the vale will twitter on the spray, and this fair country, dressed in robes of verdant green, will then display the richness of her garb -- the favour of its Archi- tect-the blessing which man enjoys, where liberty has a dwelling place- where virtue reaps reward. Who does not feel devotion in his soul, when, on every side, he finds provis- ions for his happiness on earth, -- and who is there withal so cold and cheer- less, as not to worship that Infinite Being who made, controls, and regu- lates the whole !

THE BOSTON NEWS-LETTER.
Henry Bainbridge Cox, who was confined in the gaol at Batavia, Gen- essee Co., for robbing the U. S. mail. near Baton Rouge, in the State of Louisiana, made his escape on 'Tues- day evening last, about nine o'clock, in Company with one Ephraim W. Bushley, who was confined on the charge of Forgery. A reward of $50 has been offered for the apprehension of Cox, and the like sum for Bushley, by the sheriff of this county ; and in addition to the above, Mr. Cary, the P. M. in this village has offered $100 to any person who will secure the said Cox.
Cox is about 25 years of age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, light complexion, fair hair, hazel eyes, has one of his front teeth decayed, and one projecting outwards, light built, quite active, and very talkative ; had on a dark snuff brown frock coat with velvet collar, fine boots, black figured or striped vest, ruffled shirt, and black hat,
Albany Argus.
Rome, Jan. 26.
Franconi, a youth 20 years of age, the murderer of the Prelate Tragetti, was executed yesterday in the Piazzo de Popolo, in presence of an immense multitude of spectators, who filled the square and the terraces of Monte Pin- cio. When the sentence of death was read to him on the 24th, in the evening, he persisted, in spite of the clearest evidence, in denying the fact ; but at length he confessed it. This prompt administration of justice has met with general approbation, which however does not extend to the man- ner in which it was executed. There exists an ancient law, by which the murderer of an ecclesiastic is to be knocked down with a hammer, on which his throat is cut, and his arms and feet separated from his body. This kind of capital punishment, which a- rose in the notions of the middle ages, respecting the dignity of a Priest, had not been practised, as far as I know, since the reign of Pius VI. On this occasion it was revived. Immediately
on receiving the blow with the ham- mer, the criminal fell to the ground apparently lifeless, on which the exe- cutioners proceeded to fulfil the other parts of the sentence with a dexterity and propriety, that were really re- markable. The detached members were exposed for an hour, then put into a coffin and buried. It is said, that five other criminals sentenced to death, were to have been executed be- fore the Carnival, because it was thought that the people would thereby be deterred from the commission of similar crimes ; but it seems that his Holiness considers that this mixture of the horrible with the comic is more likely to weaken the impression of the first, than to inspire a permanent and salutary terror.
Newspapers .-- Mr. Snowdon says, the Northern Star has lately been commenced at Warren, R. I. The editor must be a queer one. In his prospectus, alluding to his paper, he says, " It will soar as proudly to Olympian heights as though it were the great luminary around which it were the duty of all lesser lights to revolve-before which the planets bowed, and the sun herself did hom- age ! !! " Bless us ! what a disturb- ance among the planets -- and the sun himself unsexed into the bargain, and all this on account of the establish- ment of a little newspaper at War- ren, R. I.
The late Queen's Jewels .-- The bill of a London jeweller, for a single pur- chase of the present King, when Prince of Wales, for the use of his bride, the late unhapy Queen, amount- ed to $242,820 .- These jewels are stated in the London papers to have mysteriously disappeared, and the John Bull put the question plumply to that distinguished patriot, Alderman Wood, to know what has become, not only of the jewels, but of the subscrip- tions which he received for purchasing the late Queen a suit of plate.
