These propositions were rejected. Mr. Lane

11 His Excellency IFm. TP. Bibb—-We hail his
arrival among us as our chief magistrate; his
faithful and zealous services have rendered him
dear to the nation.”
After which the governor rose and spoke as
follows,—“ Permit me, Gentlemen, to thank you

expressed, and for the very kind reception with
which you ha* e honored me, and at the same
time to add, that I anticipate muoh satisfaction
from our future intercourse and acquaintance.

of poor Orphans, who have lost both parents on

is particularly mentioned, consisting of five chil

There have also been found utensils of bronze,
