Where is this Indian Grammar and Dictionary? —Father Andrew White, an English Jesuit, came to Maryland as aMissionary to the Indians in 1633. Alegambe in his work (in the State Lib:) entitled, Mortes illustres et gesta eorun deSoc. Jesu, p. 32, states, that the worthy father had prepared with great pains a Grammar, Dictionary and Catechism ofthe tribe among whom he labored. He had in hands, when Alegambe wrote, Expeditionem et Historian ejus gentis. Itwere well if enquiries were made for these MSS. by the Representatives of the United States at Rome and London .
A Relic. —An ancient mourning-ring was plowed up a few weeks since at the beautifully situated country-seat formerlyoccupied by the illustrious Fulton, near Oak Hill, Columbia county, N. Y. It is of gold, very thick and heavy, and on itsouter circle bears an inscription, in gold letters on a back ground as follows:—“ peter schtler, ob. i. sep. 1754— m. 30 6.”Whether the gentleman whose death is recorded by the memento was the father or the brother of General Schuyler , apatriot of the Revolution, we are unable to say, and must leave to be determined by those who are better acquainted withthe history of the family. In a book of genealogies, we perceive that the Schuylers intermarried with the Van Rensselaersand Livingstons, and it is probable that they were also related to the Fulton family. It is upward of twenty-five years sincethe latter resided at the above mentioned place, and we are informed by a friend who lately visited it, that the once elegantmansion of the successful projector of steam navigation is now rapidly falling into decay. The only part inhabited is thebasement, while the spacious dining-room and parlors, where distinguished guests were wont once to assemble, are nowused for the sole purpose of storing the produce of the farm. As an instance of the mutations of time, it may bementioned that the present owner was for a long period coachman to the family. After the death of Fulton, he commencedworking the farm on shares, and, by dint of industry and economy, was eventually enabled to purchase the whole of it. Heis now possessed of a very handsome competency.— N. Y. Com. Jldvert. July, 1851.
