Congress have a correct vjew of this

they will immediately sell, and incalcu

From the Vermmf Washingtonian r Oct. 22.,
We are sorry to understand that a
very malignant disorder has made 1 its

one which broke Out. in that place three
or four years since,'though now more
fatal in its effects. The physicianV*Sall
it the guillotine’ fever. Mahy of our
respectable characters, such as Judges,
..Counsellors, SheriiTs See. &c. have fal

more nowsickare considered .past re
covery.

conversed with several gentlemen, of
undoubted veracity from the county of
Ulster/New.Yorki who all agree in the
following very extraordinary'relation.
fC That tfcey have conversed with sever
al credible persons from Marbletown,.
in that county, and they mention the
names of persons well known to the
editor of this paper ; and these peis'ons
assert and declare themselves ready to
make oath, that tfie stones lying in two
fields there, on several successive
rose front the ground, to the height of

Slowly and horizontally, from thirty to
sixty fee^; * and that a few of them even
-over the tops of the trees !
That the persons who first beheld these
astonishing performance si, were drsbClie

-1/r. Duane— Having noticed several
advertisements in the late papers, res
jßtingn anew system of grammar
»alight by the means of a machine , I was
pnduceih by the general invitation of the
to call and examine the p/m
--ci|>les. :v : *-
,1 mustConfessthat I was not at first
very favorably impressed with the idea
of teaching Rrammarby r.iacfaerj, ritg
stgsa tiSJirtrg
But on examination of the principles
of instruction, my objections -vanished*
I found the niachine, though elegant and,
complex in its construction, calculated
to exemplify ip so simple a manner, the
different relations of eiery word in our
language, that-it would be almost next
to impossible for the meanest capacity
not to comprehend its use. And from
a careful InVestigiaiion of It principles,
and an exaqpnation of some of tire pu
pils who been taught by this me
thod,” I do not hesitate to give it as my
opinion, that a'better knowledge ofth* (
principles of grammar may be obtained
in 30 or 40 lessons, of an hour each,
fthe time usually by this
mode of instruction, than in 5 or G
months by the common way of pursuing
this study. ’
If we take into consideration the im
portance of-a correct knowledge of our
own language, and the time usually con*
snnied in our schools in acquiring but a
partial acquaintance with its princi
pies, I think there pan few improve
ments more attention of pa
rents and guardians of children than
this- , mm i
ra|ik| would therefore recommend it to
every person interested in the improve
ment of our youth, to call, at least, and
examine the principles of Mr. Chandler*,

full, explanation of the machine, and me

Pastor of the Presbyterian Chnrch. in

V . . . ; ;
g The revival in my congregation has
been, gradually increasing. At our last
communion* the assembly was unusual?
ly solemn, apd the season refreshing.—*
, Christians* all seemed to say, with their
tears and their smiles, this is .the house
of God , and the gate *^bmHeaven* It is
already ascertained that more than twen
ty persons received deep impressions
of a religious and. serious nature, who
had come as careless and curious specr
tators, merely. From that .occasion,
the work,has, vpeen more general and
visible. I baVe a charitable hope that
forty, at least, within tne bounds of my
charge,; tbe communion, which
was on the first Sabbath ot August, have
obtained an interest in Christ ; and there
are forty or fifty others, iiow anxiously
inquiring “ what shall I do to be saved ?*’
I have admitted at least seventy to the
communion since my ministry here, in
this congregation• ’ Ajt our next com
munion I expect a great accession. My
hope and faith swell, in exultation at
all I see around me, and I thank my
master that he blesses my humble ef
forts. ‘
In the last few weeks this glorious
work -has spread into four neighboring
: congregations. In one of them it has
become general and powerful, beyond
any. thing ever before known in this re
; 1 seven weeks there have
been at least two hundred hopeful con
verts and more than one hundred
; others’ engaged inanxious
Thus situated, , I have laboured ipces*
sahtly, still I am much Out of v health.

Mrs. Vernon was*he daughter of- —-

Vernon of New York ;in the bloom of

Hume and Voltair were her favorites—.
She had adopted deistical sentiments,
which were unhappily strngthened by
. the precepts and example of a beloved
parent I have.been informed that she
belonged to a Society of young ladies tn
her native place* that met together for
the purpose cf confirming themselves
in their infidel principles; and I know
that during the great revival of religion
urßriitol* three years ago* she endea
vored to persuade a young woman
Viras under distress of mind, and wax then
converted, that tt was all a delusion. ?At
the height of worldly prosperity, a most 1

Rev. Dr. Mason* the person they* had
been in the habit of hearing since their
