| The press supporting Mr. MilJs have, by \dopting Sir John’s statement, admitted ‘hat Mr. Mills was guilty of going to Sir -ohn, and urging him to overlook the Gov. enment’s flagrant breach of the law, on tae ground that if he did not the Govern. ment would retaliate and pomt out some of Sir John’s supporters, who had also re ceived money tor Government contracts. Sit John would have been as bad and cor- ruptas Mr. Mills has proved himself to be, if he had listened to the tempter. We Can imagine with what indignant energy Sir John would turn upon the base man, making a base proposal, and on tue spur of the moment use an expression as full of scorn and contempt as he could on the instant bring to his lips. Even the most carefully guarded lips wouid, when such a baresfaced, rascally proposal was made, be very apt to open with a sentence of the strongest denunciation, couched in the .| strongest language.

~ | beth West, were united in marriage Octo-

ber 24, 1771—about 106 yearsago. They oad 14 children—10 sons and 4 daughters. \Of these 12 attained to manhood and wo- ‘manhood. Eleven were married, and had

families. My father was called home at the age of 72 years, but my mother lived tobe 85. When she was 83 years old — about 40 years ago—she gave me, for mem- ory, an account of all her offspring By u singular coincidence, the number of her _grandchiliren at that time, including the deceased and living, amounted to 83, and

same number, exactly corresponding to the number of years she had then lived.
