She moved around her rude home
singing like a wild bird, throwing an air

Every one who passed her door paused
to give and receive kindly words, and
she cheered all hearts with the light of

A Feat in Chemistry. '
During a recent lecture delivered by

Professor B. Sillimaii, J r., in New York
he solidified carbonic gas. This was ef-
fected by sulphuric acid in contact with
carbonate of soda, in a strong iron vessel
capable of resisting an expansive pressure
of tloirty-four Atmospheres, or five hun-
dred and ten pounds to the square inch!
Prof. S. stated that this experiment had

been given up entirely in France, in con-
sequence of the bursting of several iron

vessels, by which several persons had

Brandy, Esq ., of dropsy. This eventis
not altogether unexpe\‘.ted, as the depar-
ted had been afflicted with the disease
which caused his death for along time.
Of late the quantity of water accumula-
ting in his system was immense, and he
had been tapped by his physicians seve-
ral times, but without effect. He had a
large number of doctors, and some are
mean enough to say that that hastened
his decease. His loss wi-ll he sensibly
felt by his many friends who were ac-
customed to see him daily in our streets.
Also, on the same day, R. G. Brandy,
Esq., familiarly known by the sobriquet
of "Rot Gut,” and brother of P. C.,
whose death we chronicle above. He
took a large quantity of poison (by mis-
take it is supposed) several years ago.
No bad effects were realized at first, but
for a few years past it has Leen spread-
ing through his system, and has finally
caused his death. It is to be hoped that
his death will be a warning to those who
have been in the habit of taking poison
for a 'm‘cdz'cz'-nc.

Also, on the same day, H. Gin, Esq.
The deceased was a of the
Brandy family, and a relative by mar-
riage. He was a native of Holland,
and fled to the United States several
years ago, in consequence of having
been actively engaged in one of the rev-
olutions that characterize that courtry.
He was pursued by the Police, but se-
cured himself in a cask, and landed safe
in New York. Since then many of his
family have made their escape in the
same manner. He left a large family
of children, most of whom were’ born

blood mounted to her delicate cheeks,

his eyes, and when they fell, his cheek
was wet. His poor old father, his bro-
en spirited mother, were they yet living,
and did they mourn the desertion and iii-
gratitude of their only child ! But Her-
man possessed a strong will, he sternly
put such emotions aside, as one would
carelessly lay by a favorite book, think-
ing to resume it at leisure. He opened
the ancient little case ; he had forgotten
that a small looking glass, quaintly but
elegantly framed, was inlaid within the
cover, and as he held it up for the 5T5?-
time for months, he gazed",at"l1ll11Self
with almost childish surprise, he was as-
tonished at the change in his appear-
ance; his coiniilexicn, once so clear, had
grown dark aird ruddy; the roundness of
countour xvliicli had formerly imparted a
look of extreme youth, was gone, but he
had gained instead, an expression of ma-
ture and manly beauty. His dark hall’
was long, and while he had neglected it,
nature had fzisliioned it into thick round
curls that hung over his temples and
adown his throat And yet upon his
brow were stamped a few deep iiiefface-
able lines, and in his large eye dwelt :1
melancholy that gave an irresistibly
touching sadness to his smile.

Alas! at times he was a prey to that
terrible fiend, 0! how it
gnawed and gnawed his poor conscience
when he thouglit of his neglected wife;
for his was a soul that could not easily
forget, yet a will that would not bend.
At times the blackness of his ingratitude
would rise with such terrible accompani-
ments before the single eye of his soul,
that he would start from his hard couch
in the still darkness of the night season,
and pace the floor of his but like one
frantic—but peace would not return to

sometimes banisl‘ed riieriiory, but joy
would abide with him only for a brief
season and leave him restless, unhappy,
unsatisfied—but still unrepentant.

The emigrants were busy fitting up
one little cabin in rather better style than
the rest; that is they stopped up all the
chinks through which, of moonlight eve
nings they had been accustomed to gaze
up into the starry firinaiiient that cano-
pied their woodland home. They also
manufactured some new furniture and
arranged it tastefully around the two
small rooms. Everytliiiig was in coiii-
plete readiness by the time that the min
ister and his daugliter Grace caiiie
among them.

At the first appearance of this lovely
girl Herman was sti'tick dumb by sur-
prise. He had iiiiugiiied he should meet
a childish creature, shy thou-_rii refined,
perhaps womanly for her age, but when
her graceful and inaturely developed
form, every movement of which was
symmetry, and the soft American beauty
of her lovely face, met his gaze, he could
not find thoughts to express his astonish-
ment.

He watched her as she moved at the
side of her father, receiving with so much
dignity, yet so prettily, so modestly, the
glad welcome of her friends; "She is
gloriously beautiful,” he murmured,,and
as she saw the devotion with which she
regarded the silver-haired minister, he
thought how blessed was the father in
possession of such a child.

When introduced to Herman Stanton,
her dark speaking
men: riveted upon
quickly sought the ground, and the rich

‘making deeper the blue veins on her
snowy temple, for she could not but be
iiscicus of his glance of rapt admira-

.n she, that heautifiil creature, re-
-. comforts of a luxurious home?”
Herman as he sat that night in
‘table cabin; “will she exile
this wilderness, she whose
iave been a succession of

Jo; it cannot be, she will»
fseplusion. She ,will—re-

’ home.” .

-tly had he judged the

vas far otlierwise than

to her. A child of‘ na-

e te'nderest7sensibilities,

eyes were for a mo-
his face, but they as

him, with the mocking laugh of the ma-
niac, if he could again deceive; if he
could take that pure unsuspecting being
to his bosom, knowing himself to be
the lawful husband of another.

Could he so degrade her, he would in-
quire of himself, could he voluntarily
place a cruel ban upon the children she
might bear him 2

In vain he urged the plea of unhappi-
ness, and argued upon the impossibility
of being recognized in this far country ;
still would the vision whisper through
the gloom of his night Watchings, “There
is an aveuging God.”

The minister regarded the young man
with envied pleasure. He knew that his
talents were of the highest order ; he
deemed him the soul of integrity ; he
saw in his future certain advancement to
posts of honor in the fast enlarging com-
inuiiity, and hoped in his heart that his
darling Grace might return the love he
had long ago interpreted by the actions
of the enamored Englishman. He felt
that his own years could not be many,
and he wished to give his child up to the
care of one so near perfection as he fan-
cied Herinan Stanton to be.

But Grace had loved him from the first
In her eyes he was the most noble being
that earth had ever owned. His strik-
ing beaiity, his lofty mind, his brilliant
conversational powers, his entire devo-
tion to her, impressed her with feelings
of deep reverence as well as guileless af-
fection. She admired him the more for
that sad solemn air cf mystery hanging
over him, the thoughtful earnestness that
at times made him seem as if in commu-
nion with viewless beings; that soft
touching melancholy that so shaded and
subdued the light of his full dark eye.-—
Little she thought these the signs of con‘
scious guilt.

As families emigrated and settled, the
little iiucleus of houses received numer-
ous additions, and three years witnessed
the establisliment of a thriving village.
Upon one side of the yet grassy Main
Street, a Blacksmith’s forge in full oper-
ution; near that stood a little shop whose
quaintly painted sign intimated in un-
couth characters, that "Groceries are sold
lierire,” and still farther on there
quite a respectable Dry Goods Store,
By this time the people had found out
l-Ierman’s peculiar fitness for the profes.
sion of the law, and by coiiiinon consent
he was dubbed the lawyer of the village,
although - he had never yet. been called
to act in that capacity. He had been
strictly economical, and still retained a
little surplus of the money he had brought
with him; his lodge, as he called it, was
the most tasteful in the village; he had
j laid out a beautiful, ornamental garden
' iiefore it, in which were the’ rarest of
plants.

W'lien at times, some new articles of
furniture was carried in by careful hands,
some little luxury which could not possi-
bly be for himself—the neighbors would
smile mysteriously, and guess the smart
young squire was going to bring pretty
Grace Locke into his cage some day or
other. ‘

Herman came home one morning with
an antique and richly bound Bible, fas-
tened with clasps of solid gold. It was
a time-honored book, having descended
from generation to generation, a gift from
the good old minister who had that day
fond|y_ called him son. Herman laid it
upon the little table and, prompted by a
sudden feeling of curiosity, carelessly
opened it. On the margin of every page
some treasured thought had been Written,
he turned it over again and again, admi.
ring the brightness of its illuminated

leaves that were scattered here and there
until he came to where a deep black mark
was drawn around a clause in one verse.

He read it, and a vague terror seized

him, a mortal fear; like that which sur-
prised the infamous Eastern Monarch
into the likeness of a marble statue.

Why should that particular part be

signalized in this mannerfl Oh! it was
horrible, that sentence of the Holy Judge

A Bachelor’: Waes.—Vt’hat a pitiful
thing an old bachelor is, with cheerless

house and his rueful phiz, on a bitter cold

night, when the fierce winds blow, when
the earth is covered with a foot of snow.
VVheii his fire is out and in shivering
dread, he slips beneath the sheets of his
lonely bed. How he draws up his toes,
all encased in yarn hose, and he buries
his nose beneath the chilly bed clothes,
that his nose and his toes still cased in
yarn hose may not chance to get froze.
Tlien he puffs and he blows, and says
that helkuows no mortal on earth ever
suffered such woes, apd with ah’s! and
oh’s! and with limbs so disposed that
neither his toes nor his nose may he froze
to his slumber in silence the bachelor
goes. In the morn when the cock crows
and the sun has just rose, from beneath
the bed clothes peeps the bachelor’s nose
and as you may suppose, when he hears

A 7n.pita.l Rat Story/.-—Rev. Walter
Cohen, in his agreeable and Christian-
like :diary of a voyage to California in a
man-of-war, entitled “Dock and Port,"
relates the following capital story :

-“I: have always felt some regard for a
rat since. my cruise in the Constellation-
\Ve were fitting for sea at Norfolk, ta-
king in water and provision; a plank
wasresting-on the sill of one of the ports
which communiczited with the wharf.—-
One bright moonlight evening we discov-
ered two. rats on the plank coming into
the ship. The foremost was leading the
other by a straw, one end of which each
lield- in his mouth. VVe managed to cap-
ture them both, and found to our surprise
that the one led by the other was stone
blind. His faithful friend was trying to
get liimonboard, where he would have
comfortable quarters during a three years’
cruise. We felt no disposition to kill ei-
tlier, and landed them on the wharf.-
How many there are in this world to
whom the fidelity of this rat rerderth a
lesson."

We have noticed in the papers lately
accounts of several deaths by this disease
one of them in this neighborhood. VVe
have published several times a certain
preventive and remedy, in the applica-
tioii of beef’s gall to the wound. Will
not our editorial brethren circulate the
information, and thereby save many val-
uable lives? Besides its anti-spasmodic
properties, the gall draws from the wound
any particles of wood, glass, iron, or oth-
er substance that may cause irritation,
when other applications have failed.

. , _ -.,

 

Esq. Mr. W. was one of the first set-
tiers of Michigan. He has done much
to build up our railroads and public
works, and could always be found in the
harvest field early and late. Some few
of our farmers thought they could not
harvest their wheat unless Mr. W. was
with them to cheer up their hands. How
they will manage to do so since his
death, we are unable to say. It may
lead to disastrous results, and it is feared
by some thatour farmers may cease to
grow wheat, which would inevitably
raise the price of flour.

Of late years, however, Mr, VV_ had
grown sliiftless, noisy and quarrelsome,
and any neighborhood that he visited was
sure to be the scene of disturbance of ev-
ery nature. The too, frequent occur-
rence of ‘street fights got up by Mr. ,,.VV.
was the ultimate cause of his death.
He was killed by a blow on the head
with a ballot box, in open daylight.
The perpetrators of the deed. are not
known, but suspicion rests upon two
men whose names we believe are Mr.
Law and Mr. O'der. Several men from
the Free Press Office are on the watch
and ere this no doubt they have appre.
bended them. i

It is seldom that we have to announce
the death of an entire family, thus swept
away at one fell swoop. They werq all
men well known in our State, and have
acted in any public capacities, some one

islature since our organization as a State.
In primary meetings and caucuses they
have succeeded in nominating their own
friends to office, and afterward in elec-
ting them. There is hardly an officer in
the State but wliat "owes to them his
election.

At the request of the friends of the
deceased, their remaiiiss will not be iii-
terred until December next. Those who
wish to take “a last fond look’ ’ can do
so at most of the groc cries and saloons
in town.

 

USE or SLANDER..—-That slander is
often beneficial to the person slandered is
undisputable: We recollect an anec-
dote in point. A man somewhere out
West was elected to Congress.

He was totally unqualified in every
respect for the position. A friend at
Washington once asked him-

" How the deuce did you manage to
get elected ?”

“ I stole a pig.”

“ Ha '3-what '.'——licw ?-—is stealing
pigs considered a qualification for Con-
gress?"

“ No-—but as sooii'as it was known,
the papers on i.’other side took it up,‘ and
of course oiirn had to defend me. .. A
great noise was made about it, we called
it an attempt to destroy the spotless rep-
utation of an innocent man for party
purposes, the people got roused and I
got in.” .

At the next election his opponent was
elected. His friend meeting him one
day. asked him how it happened.

"Oh! blast the felle'r,” he replied; "he
smelt the rat, and got the start of nie.—
He stole a sheep.”

 

A Knowing Horse,—-The New Ha-
ven Palladium is responsible for the fol-
lowing:

" Two carriages, one double and the
other single, were near being destroyed
with their passengers yesterday after-
noon on the New York Railroad. The

til it was close upon them. The double
carriage, however, got over the track.
The single horse had his forefeet almost
“P011 the fail. He reared upon his hind
legs and stoodthus like a. statue till the
train passed by! It came so near him
that it struck the projecting shafts and
broke them but did noother injury. We
understood our informant, a respectable
gentleman to say that he witnessed" 'all
this.” I “

“ Yes marm,” sohbed Mrs. Jones, "in-
deed, indeed I can !"

" Am I forgiven?” ejaculated Mrs.
Brown.

" Yes marm,” responded Mrs. Jones
with difficulty, in consequence of the’ in-
tensity of her anguish, and then she at-
tempted to weep her way out of the dy-
ing woman's room.

" Stop a moment, my dear Mrs. Jones,

The 052: that 'u.'0zclrl7z’t stay Killed.-~
The Detroit Advertiser tells the follow-'
ing good one of a farnier in that vicinity,
who drove a very fat ox to market, ex-
pecting that the animal when killed would
yield some 12 or 1300 pounds of beef.——
He sold the ox; the buyer drove him offv
and at night. came back representing that
the ox had been slaiiglitered, and offered
to settle for it, but showing an account of
its weight which fell short of the expec-
tations of the farmer, who insisted on
seeing the ox, and after examining and
weighing which with the tallow, he was
forced to go home, tho’ not more than
half satisfied, with the’ money in his
pocket.

During the night after his return, the
dead ox came back to his yard alive and
well, having broke out of the butchers
enclosure ; and the next day the farmer
drove the same ox back to town and of-
fered to sell him’ to the same butcher,
who, having missed the animal, eyed the
new comer suspiciously,‘concluded that
it was he who had been sold, bought the
ox at a thumping price and paid for him,
this time.

few days since, a daugliter of Mr. Isaia li
Sawtelle, of Belgrade, Me., about two
years old, fell into a well eigliteen feet
deep. The mother was informed of the
accident, but when she arrived the little
one had sunk in four feet of water. She
ran to a neighbor’s twenty rods or more
for assistance but found none. Return-
ing,'she lowered the well pole to the
bottom, and brought the child t,o_th_e sur-
face, the littletliiiig clinging to‘ih_e pole
with his hands. The mother raised it a
few feet, when its hold relaxed. and it
again sank. Again she lowered the
pole, which coming in Colllfilft with"th_e
little hands, it was taken v.5'.'.l;i a death
