Presipent Moxnog was so Monuxext — There is a quiet, beautiful ce: on the north side of Second street, ix this city, be- tween First and Second avenues, Separated from the sidewalk by a tall fron fence, placed upen sa ite foundation. The shrubbery is always clean and vigorous; the grass is al- ways the greenest, and the walks are scrupu- lously neat. There ate many tasteful and appropriate monuments to the dead that sleep within this beautiful inclosure, but to the memory of the most famous of its dumb in- habitants there is no marble shaft, no obelisk, noreven a headstone erected. But upon a simple slab of marble that lies flat some two feet equare upon ye earth, and is almost coy- ered by grass, is the following inscription ; JAMES MONROE, BOBERT TILLOTSON. Vault No 147. There is nothing to indicate that the James Monroe, mentioned, is the Monroe who was in the battle of White Plains, and received a ball in his shoulder at the attack on Trenton, who fought by the side of Lafayette at Bran- dywine, who was Minister to France in 1794, and afterwards to England; who was Secre- tary of State in 1311, and ior two full terms President of these United States. Yet such is the fact, and that weather-stained slab of marble, two feet square, is all the monument that Fx-President Monroe has It is a curious neglect that leaves the pre- cious dust of one of the purest patriots that our country has been blest with, to rest in such obscurity. Thousands pass every day by the spot, admiring the well kept grounds, pausing for the fragrance of the flowering shrubs, listening to the song of the birds that find this Oasis in the City’s desert, but never dreaming that the author of the Monroe Doc- trine, the fourth President of the United States, lies within a few feet of them. Mona- ments to men of half his intellectual stature. and a tithe of his industry and goodness of heart, are going up allover theisnd Shall he who was re-elected to the Presidency by a vote unanimous, with a single exception, and who never disgraced his position, have no more than this? As Mr. Monroe was a Virginian, it is tho sapposition of most people that he died and was buried within the Old Dominion, but this is an error. Mr Monroe, in his last days, resided with Samuel Gouverneur, late postmaster of this city, who married his only daughter; their residence wason the corner of Prince and Elm streets. The venerable Dr. Francis tells us that he often met Mr. Monroe walking out when the weather was fine, and that on these occasions he was the object of the most affectionate at- tentions. He has often met him making pur- chases for the family, at Centre Market, where all the stallmen knew and honored him. He was tall and spare, very modest in his bear- ing, dignified and gentlemanly. In his ad- dress, he was hesitating and diffident, as po- lite to the poorest and humblest as to any He was one of the most industrious of men, a hard student, and his cares left their mark on his face. The wound that he received at Trenton was felt for many years afterward— indeed, throughout all his life he occasionally suffered from it His last illness was a long and tedious one. His attendant was his sonin-law’s family physician, Dr. Berger. He expired at 10¢ o'clock on the morning of the 4th of July, 1831. His faneral was a very imposing one—the largest that at that time had ever been seen in New York. The military, under General Jacob Morton, Grand Marshal, filled Broad- way from Prince to Broad street, through which it passed to the cemetery. The day was fine, and the signs of mourning were gen erally adopted by our citizens. The vault in whicn his dust still lies, ison the east side of the cemetery, just to the right of the main walk as you lookin from the entrance The passer-by will notice a small pole, on which a dove-house is perched. Withina yard of that pole is the sacred spot. The death of Mr. Monroe was announced to ex President Madison by Dr. S. W. Fran- cis, immediately upon the decease To this the following reply was sent by Mr. Madison, which is now, for the first time, published : Letter of James Madison to Dr John W. Francis Moytrevier, July 9, 1531 Dear Str: Your favor of the 4th, commu nicating the death of Mr Monroe, was duly received. 1 had been prepared for the event by information of its certain approach The time was so far happy, as it added another to the coincidences before 20 remarkable and so memorable You have justly ranked him with the heroes and patriots who have de served best of their ccuntry.

He had no wealth when he died, and in his death no tomb of his own. We owe it to his memory that we provide for his ashes a resting place that should be his own, or at least that a creditable monu- ment be raised over them where they lie Shall the dust be transterred to Greenwood, or, leaving it where it has rested for twenty-five years, shallf.a noble column of pure marble be erected in token of our appreciation of the worth, excellence and services of one who had no enewies, or if there were those who envied him, of whom the envious could say no harm? Who is ready to move in this matter ?— York Temes. Beans —The swamp between the villages of Mannahawkin and Barnegat, in Ocean coun- ty, is said to be much infested with bears the presentseason. There always have been more or less of them of ie years, ee re: turing in people’s gardens (generally at right,) ae conser tee ighway in day time, and this season so bold are they, that several ur- armed travellers have been compelied to turn out and give them the road. The citizens of that vicinity frequently turn out to hunt them, but, owing to the swamp being so thick, and no common hunting dog will track ‘hem, they have generally been successful. These animals have as yet never attacked any one, but their boldness this season has caused a determination in the people to h: some ef them killed off, and they propuse to have a general bear hunt the last of this month or during next, when they are fattest, and they wish ail who are fond of such sporia, and especially those who may have dogs that will track them, to join in the hunt or singly By having enough hunters to sweep the swamp, not less than thirty or forty could be capbaser.

It will be remembered that the prisoners at- tacked Bates as he was passing on the street, and inflicted such injuries upon him as to cause bis death the same evening The pris- oners were the worse fur liquor at the time, and James did not join in all the brutality of his brother. Afier hearing the evidenee of the witnesses, which confirmed the fects of the prisoners striking and kicking deceased on the street, the jury retired, and im ten minutes found a verdict of m iter against James, and of wilfall murder against Andrew, with a strong recommendatiun to mercy, The scene that now ensued, says the Liver- pool Daily Post. can scarcely be described, ‘be court was filled with a groan as it were of pity. while three females in the gallery, at the back of the court, shrieked in a manner, aud one of thom was seized with » fainting Gt They were all taken outside the sourt; and we learned, on inquiry. that they were the aged mother of the prisoners and their two sisters The prisoner James feli back into the dock and fainted, but in two minutes again revived, when, kneeling at the bar, he raised his hands to heaven, and with a piteous look at tho judge, cried, * Ob, my lord, have mercy on my brother.’’ The pris- oner Andrew literally tore bis hair, and first kneeling and then standing, piteously cried, “Oh, my lord, [ beg mercy” His lordship sobbed audibly, and was quite overpowered by his feelings. Having put on the black esp, his lordship assumed his wonted calm- ness and dignity as a judge His lordship then addressed the prisoners thus: Andrew Bracken, prisoner at the bar, you have been convicted of the crime of wil- ful murder, and you James Bracken, of the crime of manslaughter A peaceable subject of her majesty, passing along the streets of the city of Manchester, is brutally attacked by you both. You were no doubt engaged in a common design of attacking any person who came along that way, and of beating him ina cruel and violent manner You, James Breck- en, have been convieted of manslaughter, and you, too, wereengaged iv the unlawful design which I have described, but you were no party to the last violent and cruel attack by which that unhappy man was sent to an un- timely grave. You, Andrew Bracken, were guilty of that; you attacked him with your feet, armed, no doubt, with clogs; you kicked him about the head; you fractured his skull. You did an act, the natural and ordinary con- sequences of which must have been to kill the man. It was acrucl and brutal act, and you did it wholly reckless of the consequences which it might produce. You have, there- fore, been very properly convicted of the wil- ful murder of that man. The jury, however, have accompanied their verdict by a recommendation to merey; I presume that was on account of the drunken state in which you were. That,in point of law, is no palliation of your crime. I have it not in my power, Andrew Bracken, to at- tend to that recommendation. The proroga- tive of mercy rests with her majesty alone, and I cannot encourage in you any hope what- ever that the recommendation will acted upon. [ shell, however, forward it to the Secretary of State, to be laid before her ma- jesty, that you =y be placed at her meroy. Again, 1 say that I cannot hold out to you any hope that the recommendation will’ be concurred ia; but I now most earnestly rec- ommend you, with the assistance of your cler- zymen, to seek that mercy from the Almighty which you had not for William Bates With regard to you, James Bracken, you were guilty of manslaughter of the most ag gravated character, and for that offence the sentence of the court is, that you be trans- ported for life. Upon you, Andrew Bracken. the sentence of the court is, that you be re- moved hence to the place from whence you came, and thence to a place of public execu- tion, and that there you be hanged by the ueck until your body be dead, and that then buried within the precincts of the jail in which-you shall have been last confined ; and may God, in the plentitude of his goodness, bave mercy on your soul. Toe prisoner, Andrew, fell down again in the dock, and begged for mercy; but being raised by the turnkey. was escorted from the dock, ejaculating with fearfal intensity of spirit, ‘*Oh, mother, mother, that I should be hung’’ Fors few minutes the court seemed paralyzed by the shocking scene which ft bad witnessed ; and his lordship, having raised bis head from his hand, slowly rose and lef: the court amid sulemn sUeace. Fruit Growing —At a late meeting of the ‘ Fruit Growers’ Society’’ of the western seo- tion of the State of New York, statements wire made by several of the members going to show that fruit growing was the most re- munerative of the farmer's labor. Dr Syl- vester, of Lyons, showed a clear profit of $175 per acre, and alladed to 2 neighbor's orchard which averaged $100 peracre. A. Loomis, of Byren, Genesee county, calculates from some Baldwin apples, grown by his brother, that a profit of over $500 per acre has been made per annum, after making allowances for the failure of the fruit every other year. it is known that Mr. Peli, near New York, bae made very large protits by shipping Newtown Pippins to England, and he bas devised meth- ods which secure him fruit every year, using lime and careful praning. Dr. Un states that Quinces, grown for the Ne market, produced him a profit of $1,200 aere. He is on the Hudson, at Croton Point, and has made a fortune at the fruit business. The main thing needed by the farmers, in this section, to the profitable raising of fruit, is some plan whereby they can secure a ful) crop every year, instead of, (as now) every other year. We know of one apple orchard, of about 500 trees, in this county, which, last year producing 2.500 bushels of apples, will not yield five bushels this Fall. The product of four trees on that dtchard, Last year brought $80;—this year the four hes not produced fifty cents worth of fruit. Some method whereby this biennial barrenness may be overcome, is all that is needed by our far mers, especially those owning small farms, to make the fruit raising business profitable to them, beyond that of any other crop.—Alba- ny Argus > A man somewhere out West, being iv- dicted for stealing beacon, went to al and told him hiscase.
