tiossria -\V.utrta.v was born in Roxbury, near
Boston, in the year 1741. His father was a
respectable‘ farmer in that place, who had held
several intinicipal offices, tothe ac'ceptance_ofhis
fellow citizens. ._loseph, with seve't'al.of lliS.l)l‘O-
ihers, was instructed in the elementary branches
of knowledge, at the public grammar school of
the l0\V0,MWlllCl1 was distinguished for its succes-
sive instructors ofsuperior attainments. In i755,
he entered college, where he sustained the char-
~ alcter ofa youth of talents‘, "line manners, and of a
generous, independent department, united to great
personal courage and perseverance. An anecdote
will illttstrate‘-his fe-.u'lessness and determination
at that age‘, when character can hardly be said to
be formed. Several..student»s of \Varren’s class
shut themselves in a room to arrange some col-
lege afi'ai:'s, ‘_i,Vt,);,‘a way which they knew’ was con-
trary to his es, and barred the door so effec-
tually that he““c'ould not without great violence,
force it, but he did not give over the attempt of
getting among them, for perceiving-that the win-
dow of the room in which they were assetnl-I-l‘:tl
was open, and near a spout which extended from
the roofofthc building to the ground’, he wcntto
the top ofthe liousc, slid down to the eaves, seiz-
edithe spout, and when he had descended as far
as the window‘, threw himself-into the chamber
among them. At that instant the spout, which
was decayed and" \veak,‘gatve "way-ttnd fell to the
ground. He looked at itwithout emotion, said
that .it‘bgd~servetl=liis purpose, and began to take
ltispart tn the-business. A sp::ctatot' oftbis feat,
-and’ narrow escape, related this fact to me in the
college‘ yard, nearly half ti century afterwards,
a’nrl‘the impression it made on his mind was so
strong. that heseemed to feel the same "emotion,
as though it happened but an hottr before.
. Onleaving college in 1759, \Viarren-turned his
' attentipn to the study of medicine, under the di-
rectio'n".oflDoctot' Loyd, aneminem physician of
that day, whose valuable life has been p1'ott'a.cted
almost to the present time. \Varron was distin-
guished very soon after he commenced practice,
for when in 1764», the small pox_ spread in Boston,
he was among the mostsuccessfnl in his method
of tt'eati‘ng- lliill disease, -ivhich.-was then consider-
ed the most dreadful scourge of the human race,
. and the violence of which had ballied the ellbrts of
the learned faculty of medicine from the time of
i[3.fil'St appearance. From this ‘moment he stood
high among his brethren, and was the favorite of
the people, and what he gained in their good -will,
‘he never lost. His personal appearance, h_is.u(1-
dress, and courtesy and his humanity, won the
. way ‘to the hearts of all, and his knowledge and
superiority of talents secured the conquest. A
bright and lasting fame in his p'.‘ol'es.siun, with the
attendent- conseq.uenc_t:s, wealth and influence,
were within his reach, and near at hand; but the
calls of a distt-acte‘d country were paramount to ev-
ery consideration of its own interests, and be en-
tered the vortex ‘of politics, never to- return to the
peaceful courseof professional labor. ’
The-c ange in public opinion had been gradu.
ally preparing the minds of most men for :1 rev-
olution. This was not openly avowed ; ameliora-
.*tiot'rof.tltc treatment for the_pt‘eset)l, and assur-

but the tiirie had arrived‘ when speakers of net - r
and boldness ‘were wanted to raise their voices‘..-
gainst oppression in ‘every shape. Vlfarren pos-
sessed first rate "qualities for-an orator, and ha '
early declared in the strongest terms his political
sentiments, which were somewhat in advance of
public opinion, for he held as ‘tyranny all taxaligns
whiclrcould be imposed by the British" parlia , ' t_,
upon the colonies. In times of danger, tli'é.,,§p
pits are sagacious, and cling to those who best
can serve them, and every eye was o_n him in ev-
ery emergency, for he had not only the firmness
and decision they wished for in a leader, but was
prudent and wary in all his plans. ’ His first ob-
ject was to enlighten the people, and then he felt
sure of engaging their feelings in the general
cause. He knew when once they began, it would
be impossible to tread b_ack—-independence only
would satisfy the country. With an intention of
directing public sentiment, without appearing to
be too active, he met frequently with a considera-..
blc number of substantial mechanics, and others
in the middling classes of society, who were/'bu-
sy itt politics. This crisis requil"ed such man
as’ they found him to be, one who could/,,.discern
the signs of the times, an<l_mould_the ductile ma-
terials to his will, and at the same time seem on-
ly to follow in the path of others. « His lettertto
Barnard, whiclrattracted the notice of.govern-
mom, had been written several years before, in
1758 ;but in some form or othc.-ti‘ he was constant-
ly enlightening thepeople by his pen ; but it is
now difficult, and of no great importance, to trace
him in the papers of that period. The public
was not'then always right in designatingthe au-
thors ofpolitical essay. In the different situations
in which the was called to act, he assumed as ma-
ny characters‘ as fable has ever given to charm.
' At one ttmejhe might be found restraining the
impetuosity, and bridling the fury of those hot-
headed politicians, who felt more than they rea-
soned, and dared to do more than became men.
Such was his versatility, that he turned from these
lectures of caution and prudence, to asserting and
defending the most bold and undisguisetl princi-
ples of liberty, and defying in their vet-yteetli the
agents ofthe crown. Twice he was elected to
deliver the oration on the 5th of March, in com-
'- memoration of the massucrc’,_ and his orations are
among the most distinguished produced by that
splendid list of speakers who addressed their fol-
low citizens on this subject so interesting to them
all. In these productions generally the immedi-
ate causes of this event were overlooked, and the
remote ones alone were discussed. Here they
were on safe ground, for "tyranny in its incipient
stages has no excuse from opposition; but in its
‘ match it generally finds some plausible arguments
for its proceedings, drawn from the very resis-
tahce it naturally produces. These occasions
gave the orators a fine field for remark, and a fair
opportunity for effect. The great orators of an-
tiquity‘in their speeches attempted only to‘-rouse
the people to retain what they possessed. Invoc-
tive, entreaty, and pride had their efi'ect in assis-
ting th'e'se mighty masters to influence the peo- .
ple. They were ashamed to loose what their fa-
thers left them, w_on by their blood, and so long ,
preserved by their-wisdom, their virtues and their
courage. .Our statesmen had a harder task to per-
form, for they were compelled to call otfthe peo-
ple to gain what they had never cnjoyed--an in-
dependent rank and standing among the nations
of the world.
‘ His next oration was delivered March 6th,
1775.’ [He lrad dclzvered one in 1772.] It was
at his ‘own solicitation that he was appointed to
this duty at second time.-—"l‘lte fact is illustrative
of his Cl‘.al'-'.lClL‘I', and worthy of remembrance.
Some British oilicets of the army then in Boston
had publicly tleclarcdthat it should be at the price
of the life of any man ‘to speak of the event of
March 5, i770. on that anniversary. VV-.trren’s
soul took fire at such a threat so openly made,
and he wished for the honor of braving it.--"fliis
wasreadily granted, for at such a time a man
would probably find but few rivals.--Many who
would spurn the thought of personal fear might
be apprehensive that they would be so far discon-
certed as to ‘forget their discourse. It is easier
to fight bravely, than to think clearly or correct-
to fight, but disturbs the regular current oftho’t.
The day came and the weather was remarkably
line. The old South Meeting-house was crowded
at an early hour. The British officers occupied
the aisles, the flight of steps to the pulpit, and
several .ofthem were within it. It was not pre-
cisely known whether this was accident or design.
The orator with the assistance of his friends made
his entrance at the pulpit window by a ladder.
The ofliccrs, seeing his coolness and intrepidity,
made way for him to advanceand address the,au-
dience.‘ An awfuliqtillness preceeded his e_xor-
dium. Each rnan'Llt the palpitations of his own
heart, and iiawzllle pale but determined face of his
neighbor. The spcaker.began his oration in a
firm tone of voice, and proceeded. with great en-
ergy and-pathos.-—Warrcn_ and his friends were
prepared to chastise contumely, prevent di.-tgrace
and avenge an attempt at assassination. A

Sozile -us. Ben.son.-—'-The plaintiff received a ver-
dict in this cause at the present circuit in this place,
before .lttdge,:8t'istol, ‘of one thousand dollars. _
The plaintiff and family hadfbcen taken sick
with symptoms of poison; this lead to the search-
ingtof the well, where a bag filled with human
cxcrements,parts of the body of some animal, and
{some kind of mineral poison, were found sunk _to
the bottom of the well by a stone. Proofs sodi-
cient to convince the jury that the defendant was
guilty of placing them there, was adduced, and
they gave the above verdict. ,
We have never witnessed a cause where more
moral turpitude and depravity was ‘exhibited than
in this. . There was scarcely a crime that was not
developed, or at least indicated as having been
perpetrated by the defendant, some of his family,
or some of the witnesses brought on one or the
other side. .
Perjury, burglary, murder, forgery, bigamy,
larceny, andadultery, if not incest, were among
the number. , '
The defendant, as was alleged, had poisoned
the well of the plaintifi', because the plaintifi had
attempted to break up an adulterous connection
of the tlal1gl_tter.of the defendant. The father had
formerly attempted to gel the son to states prison
to prevent the son from testifying against the fa-
ther for poisoning. The wife of‘ defendantthad
died of. poison administered by her son or husband.
And what crimes appeared not to have been com-
mitted by either father, son, motheror daughter,
seemed abundantly supplied when the character
‘of the witnesses on one,side or the other were im-
pcached. -
Fortunately the theatre of action for these on-
hallowed transactions,‘ was on the confines of the’

ci1.uutc'rxr.n or THE FAIR sex-—By 1lIr.Ledyard.
[have always remarked, that women, in all
countries, are civil, obliging, tender, andfhntnane;
that they are ever inclined to be gay and cheer-
ful, timorous and modest, and that they do not
hesitate, like men, ' to perform a generous action.
Not haughty, not arrogant, not superciliou‘s, they
are full of courtesy, and fond of society; more
liable, in getieral’, to err than man ; but, in gen-
eral, more virtuous, and performing more good
actions than be. To a woman, nbethcr civilized
or savage, I never addressed myself in the lan-
guage of decency and friendship, without receiv-
ing a decent and friendly answer. _ ‘ - .
