p1rNKER HILL CELEBRATION.


W. extract from the Boston Courier,
.ts folowing description OF the venerable
sreacher, who, in behalf OF ms numerous
pl,lience. addressed the throne OF Divine
r,'a., Gn.ce Our readers will participate i'll the
emotions that such a spectacle was SO pecu-
e,.,y calculated to inspire-lt speaks direct
~" me hest affections of the human heart,
s,G 4 is therefore eloquent


aThe whole declvity of the Mount ap-
.,ared like one vast ampitheatre, filled with
istnninr spectators. When the venerable
Thsxtcr came forward to offer up his pray.
:, the multitude was in an instant husned
- ,he profoundest silence. a more inter-
s,t;nr object can hardly be imagined, than
: nan at the age of ninety, having outnVea
lie !, yeoeration--hs silver locks fiowng down
his ,hnuldcrs-his face exhibiting the lur
VOWS Wv Of age, yet glowing with apparent
heath---his voice, though a iittle tre',iutoun'
~ strong and susceptible OF cohsiueraoic
IInodulation--his articulation perfect aud uis-
tnct. Such man was Joseph h.h.e,'
He was chaplain IN the regiment OF Noi'
p,.scotf and was on Bunker Hill, acting III
,b.t cupacity. during the battle; not only
''aSI;.g u,.on the God of battles to protect
ard save his countrymen, but calling also
~ h;s colntrymcn to defend themselves,
th,;r alters and their homes, and assuring
them that those who would be free, must
strike the blow themselves, ard, under Prov
;drncc. work out the conquest by their own
ripht arms. As this reverend patriarch
onnroached the front Of the stage and raised
Ills dry and almost fleshlcss hands III thank
f,,ness and intcrccsson, he seemed like a
connecting link between 'corruptlble and In
cor,,lption''-his uplttcd eye rejecting the
LIGHT of Immortality, and the undnlatlons OF
his bosom indicating the iiuttelng OF spirit
that pantcd to mrct the embrace OF his Ma
kcy."


On Sunday afternoon, between three ana
four O'Clock, a fire was discovered in the
Bakery OF Mr.. John Cochrane, in the rear
ofhis house. on the South side of Market

which vc,y soon communicated to the build

sabtluctl, consumed Or destroyed all the
buildings between the Stables III the rear o.


the Tavern, No. $50 Market-street, tht
