BISHOP PARTRIDGE'S LETTER.
[edit]Time and space forbid lengthy comments on this production. It was forwarded us last August, with a request to either publish it, or forward the manuscript to the Hon. S. ROSA, of Painesville. On examination, we thought that it was an article fraught with so much necessary intelligence, that it could not fail to interest our patrons. With this letter we received another, requesting us, (should we publish it,) to give it entire in one number.—Till now we could not devote the space. And though it has been long written, it has not lost any of its important truths, nor will it fail, if carefully examined, to impress the reader with a reverence toward God, and an anxiety to be prepared for his coming.
Bishop Partridge is well known to the individual addressed, and to the citizens of Painesville, among whom he formerly resided; and we cannot but believe, that that intelligent community will treat with due respect, and appropriate credence, this plain, easy, consistent, and unvarnished relation of truth, from their former fellow-citizen.—[ Editor.]

She bore with becoming fortitude, her last illness, and only longed for the anxious hour when her spirit should take its welcome exit to be with Jesus.— Editor.
