interest in the sufferers by this shot-king calam-
ity, and by their christian sy-mpathy, did all
which respect for the deceased, or a desire to al-
lcviate the sorrows of their friends. could sug-
gest. The ladies exerted themselves most be-
nevolently, providing shrouds for all, and taking
the bodies ofthe females entirely under their
own charge. The thanks ofthe public, as well
as the friends ofthe sufferers, are due to them.
Provision is already made for any other bodies
which may be recovered, and they will be in-
terred in the same place.
The editorof the Heampstead Inquirer, who
visited the scene of the wreck on the day after
it occcurred, says, ‘ \Ve observed some perpen-
dicular masses ofice on the deck ofthe Mexico,
which appeared to us to have been formed by
the sea washing and freezing over the bodies of
those who had lashed themselves to the shrouds,
until they were completely encased in a solid
mass of ice. Fourteen of the bodies drifted
ashorewtwo of which were small children clas-
ped in each others arms, truly an affecting pic-
ture.’

the Office, and $52,530 delivered.
Mail subscribers 532 if paid in advanee, or
$2.50 at the end of the year. '
Advertisements, $1 per square for three inser-
tions, and 25 cents for every subsequent inser-
lion.
Orders enclosing payment may be forwartled
by mail at the risk ofthis Office.
The annexed notice of the terms of the Nor-
walk Gazette, we copy from that paper of May,
1.823.
‘ Terms.--Two Dollars per annum, payable
Quarterly. . Mail subscribers in advance.’
‘ 11rlt*c7'l.i.scn:cnls, less than a square, 75 cents;
:1 square, $1 00, for three ittscrtiutts.’
These are the terms ofa paper but a lbw in-
ches over halfthe size ofthe Gazette at the pres-
ent day. and did not cost halfthe smn for print-
ing and publishing which ours costs us. These,
continued to be the terms ofthe paper for many
years; and until the few years past, when the
rival parties ran opposition papers, and newspa-
pers were given away, and advertisements in-
serted for a thaukec, like unto steam-boats which
sometimes carry their passengers for nothing,
and give them a dinner into the bargain. This
‘might do well enough to accomplish a political
purpose. but will not do for the publisher to live
upon. The only advance we have made u )on
the old price, is an additional 12 1-2 cents per
qtlarlor for delivering the paper in the village,
and -'30 cents a year to mail subscribers who do
not pay in adt-‘aucc.
If we take into consideration the. large size of‘
the paper, and that materials and every neces-
sary of life are double what they used to be, it is
evidcrtt that the. sum now asked for the paperis
much below what it ought to be.
