One man in this _-‘city: has spenta great
deal of money in -getting-‘a man to ' point
his name and-number, and what he. had
to sell, upon the rocks along the rail-
roads. Fiftycents paid "to any daily.pa-
per would 'have'br_ought him a better re-
turn. Not one in,ten thousand will read
and remember his _advertisement, as they
are whirled" by with the speed of the
wind. _ . _
Another fellow..hires ya man with a
paint-pot andsteuciluplate to go all over
the city and_,bcdaub“théfpavements with
his advertisem_ents:- It shares the same
fate as that-upon the: _rocks—if read, is
', not remembered.*'It' isrtrampled under
foot and forgotten;
Another ‘advertiser. ‘hires a fool to wear
I A a hat or carry auumbrella, with his name
printed-fupou it‘throug_h the streets.—
Some folks.:..undoub_te_dl.y read it, and
think “thezfool and._:his ;mouey are soon

Another, and-.:hi_s name is legion, never
advertises’. "at ».all‘,.and yet expects the
busy public to find him out, and all about
his business,'when his next door neighbor
does not.‘ know that he has any business
or anything to sell, because he always looks
in his paper-forwhat he wants, and pat-
ronizes, the:/man. who -.has good sense
enough to advertise" where it will be likely
-to be read- V
A few days since we wanted to go to
Hartford. ‘We knew there was a steam-
boat, but where. it started from, or when
it started, we didnot-know, and we could
not find an --advertisement.
We could-find one for the railroad, and
y we knew wherethe cars started from.-
Does everybody knowthat? If they do
not, they willnever learn by the adver-
tisement. We have known strangers to
miss the train by- that road, who came
down the Hudson river road, because
they did not know that the station, was in
' Canal street within a few minutes’ walk
, of where the car they were coming into,
the city upon was crossing the same
street. If common sense had anything to
do with the advertisement, it would tell
the reader where to find the cars, as well
as when the start.
Look at t e advertisement of the Long
Island railroad. It says: “ Leave Brook-
lyn,” at certain hours. What part of
Brooklyn do you think a stranger would
go to look for it? That town is not so
very small that it makes no odds to the
traveller which end foremost he gets into
it. Brookyln is seven miles long. A
stranger may know that it ‘lies eastward
of New York, but in his hurry to reach
the cars in time how does he know by
the advertisement which way to
go-—w at line of stages to take ‘.7
There is scarcely a day pases that we
do not receive letters like the following :
“ In a late number of the Tribune the
merits of some patent corn sheller are all
set forth, but it aifords no clue as to
where or whom I can send, for any further
information concerning it. If you have
any advertisement, circulars or what not
that you can send -me, you will confer a
favor upon me.”
No, sir ; we have no “advertisements,
circular or what not,” to give you, because
in a gratuitous notice of the machine we
did not feel disposed to give the inventor
a gratuitous advertisement, and did not
retain his name or residence. But we
beg leave to assure him, if this item ever
reaches him, that, although he may not
be a fool, he lacks common sense. But
he may take the very comforting assur-
ance to himself that we consider him no
bigger fool than nineteen-twentieths of
all his kith and kin, the inventors or man-
ufacturers of newly-invented machines.
We commended the other day apatent
gridiron,.because‘it is one of the best in-
ventions of culinary implements that we
have seen in many a day, and we wish it
were in every family. We are inquired
of daily where they are for sale. We
dqift know, and if we did we should _not
to . ’
It is not for_ us to speak our sentiments
‘of an article good or bad ; if good, it will
be of just as much advantage as the party
interested chooses to make it, by an ex-
ercise of common sense, or an exhibition
of an entire want of that very necessary
accompaniment.¢—1VC Y. T1-ilnme.

The Week.
Probably the “ oldest inhabitant,” norveven
the weather Professor on Brooklyn Heights,
has ever witnessed a parallel to the “ cold
term” through which we have passed during
the last eight days.
Railroad travel has been almost suspended,
or when attempted, at the risk of delays,
break-downs, starving and freezing. The
countryroads have been so blocked up with
banks that only by the united efforts of whole
neighborhoods have the paths been broken.
Business for the week past, has therefore been
almost atla stand-stfll. During all this time
the Thermometer has given a range which
would have done no discredit to the Arctic
Regions. In Norwalk it has ranged from 6°
to 20° below zero .' Whewl Just think of it,
ye shivering dwellers at the sunny Southl
The utmost distress has been caused on land
and sea, although the numbers of marine dis-
asters yet reported, are light compared with
what might be expected. We fear that terri-'
ble recitals of sufferings and vfeath are yet to
be recorded. Even the Telegraph lines seem-
ed to participate _ in a slight degree, in the
general embargo, although their imperfect
workings was an immense relief to pent up
humanity for the first two days of the week.
The New York train which leaves here at 6
o’clock, A. M.. under the Conductorship of
our friend Cooper, on Monday week got as far
as Stamford, after nine hours hard toil, where
it lay over till next day, when he ran down to
New York for the City Mail, The mail train,
which reached here Tuesday at 2 P. 11., got
as far as Bridgeport only that night, and
reached New Haven Wednesday. During all
this time some 400 men were engaged in dif
fereut parts of this road shoveling snow. A
terrible blow followed the storm, and filled in
the track asecond time, but towards the close
of the week the trains got to running with
pretty general regularity.
The gale of Sunday night seemed to have
had a special spite against stecples. In addi-
tion to the Chapel street Church steeple of
New Haven, the steeple of Rev. Mr. Hart’s
Church at Fair Haven was demolished, with
that of the new Congregational Church of
Waterbury, which fell on the adjoining stores,
and also the two of the Episcopal Church of
that city. Some damage was likewise done to
thetower of St. Patrick’s, New Haven. ~
On Tuesday, the Governor elect of New
Jersey was compelled to walk 12 miles to
Trenton in the snow, in order to be present at
his own inauguration.
The brig Emeline, bound for New York,
was wrecked oil’ Ocean House, near Sandy
Hook, on Sunday morning, and all on board
perished, under the most excruciating circum-
stances.
In all parts of the country the weather of
the past week has been the coldest ever-rec-
ollecied. The Virginians are harvesting their
own ice. .
At Hartford, the thermometer on Saturday
morning was 35° below zero, orfifleen lower
than at Norwulk! Here it was 16° below at
9 1-2 A. M. At Waterlown, N. Y., mercury
thermometers congealed, and spirit instru-
ments indicat ed 45° below zero, or seventy
two degrees below the freezing point !—
Sliould our friends at Dubuque, and at St.
Paul ever get thawed out, we shall be interes-
ted to know how low their thermometers
went. The Sound is effectually blocked with
ice. The Ferry Boats cross the stream be-
tween New York uud Brooklyn with the ut-
most diflicully. The John Potter and several
other vessels, and a pier have been crushed
by the ice which fills the river and harbor, in
one immense field of broken ice. The suffer-
ing among the laboring poor.must be terrible
should the cold longer continue, and we hope
this condition. deprived of work as they must
needs be, by the suspension of all kinds of
business, will not be overlooked by those able
to assist them. A noble instance of benevo-
lence is thus recorded by. the New Haven Reg-
ister: “ During the extreme cold weather of
the last three weeks, Moses Y. Bench, Esq., of
Wallingford, has seen that every poor family
in that large town was supplied with food and
fuel at his own cxpeuse—aud in generous
quantities.” Good.
How truthfully do the words of the Psalm-
ist ndopt themselves to the present occasion .-
“ He giveth snow like wool, he scattereth the
boar frost like ashes. He casteth forth His
ice like morsels, who can stand‘ before His
cold ?”
A number of deaths from freezing have
been reported in Western papers. The
Iowa City Republican of Dec. 25th,
says :
“It will shock our readers to learn
that two respectable citizens of this
county were frozen to death on Sab-
bath evening. Mr. and Mrs. Walton and
their son, of Pleasant Valley, started
from church on Sabbath evening to re-
return home. They were lost on the
prairie in snowdrifts, amid the perils of
a terrible snow storm and a piercing
blinding wind- After struggling, until
they were almost frozen, and getting their
horses so buried in drifts that they could
proceed no further, they abandoned their
vehicles in the hope of reaching their
own or some other habitation. Mrs. W.
at last sank in the icy winding sheet’ to
rise no more. Her son, a young man,
struggled a. while l(,)l1g_‘el‘,’ml(l, suffered the
same fate. The father, nerved by des-
pair, kept up until three :J"--"k in the
morning, when hc‘reacl~.ed -;i '

track was followed, but too late to gave
the mother and son. a
The St. Louis News, of the 18th, con-
tains auothcr terrible a‘ccount. It says ;
Five persons a man, three women and
a child were frozen to death near Monti-
cello. Iowa, last Saturday night. They
were returning from a neighbor’s with u
’ pare of horses and sleigh they got oil‘ the
road, and in crossing, the horses became
detached from the sleigh and ran off-
leaviug the parties in snow from five to
eight feet feet deep. The people not re-
turning on Tuesday morning, the neigh-
bors collected, and after a long search.
the women and child were found in a
' willow thicket, covered with blankets, and
with a large quantity of snow over them,
all dead. The man was found without
his hat, frozen to death, about it quarter
of a mile from the women, and within
forty rods of his own house. Two_ other
men were frozen in the same‘ neighbor-
hood, about the same time, while retum-
ning from church. The weather has been
excessively cold in Iowa.
From a long article in the Edin-
burgh Ree-iow we extract the following.
In the year 401 the Black Sea was en-
tirely frozen over. In 492 the Danube
was frozen so that Thcadmare marched
on the ice to Swaiba to avenge hisbroth-
er’s death. In 642 the cold was so in-
tense that the strait of Dardanelles and
the Black Sea was entirely frozen over.
The snow in some places drifted to the
depth of fifty feet, and the ice was heaped
in such quantities in the cities as to cause
the wall to fall down. In 850, the Adri-
atic was entirely frozen over. In 892, and
also 893 the vines were killed by the frost
and the catlle died in their stalls. In
991, the winter lasted very long, and
was extremely severe. Everything was
frozen, and famine and pestilence closed
the year] In 1067, the cold was so in-
tense that most of the travelers in Ger-
many wcre frozen to death on the roads.
In 1133, it was excessively cold in Italy ;
tho P0 was frozen from Cremona. to the
sea ; the heaps of snow rendered the roads
impassable ; the wine casks burst and
trees split by the frost with an immense
noise. In 1216, the river Po froze to
the depth of sixteen ells, and wine also
burst the casks. In 1234, a pine forest
was killed by the frost at Raveuna. In
1236, the frost was most intense in Scot-
land, and the Categat was frozen between
Norway and Jutland. In 1282, the
houses in Austria were buried with snow.
In 1292, the Rhine was frozen, and in
Gemany six hundred peasants were em-
ployed to clear the way for the Austrian
army. In 1344, all the rivers in Italy
were frozen over. In 1384, the winter
was so severe that the Rhine and Scheldt
were frozen, and even the sea at Venice.
In 1468, the winter was so severe in Flan-
ders, that the wine was cut with hatch-
ets to be distributed to the soldiery. In
1670, the frost was very intense in Eng-
land and Denmark ; both Little and
Great Belt were frozen over. In 1648,
many foresttrces, and even the oaks in
England were split with the frost. In
1692, the cold was so excessive that the
starved wolves entered Vienna, and at-
tacked both men and cattle. The ‘cold
of 1740 was scarcely inferior to that of
1692, and the Zuydcr Zee was entirely
frozen over. In 1776, much snow fell,
and fhe Danube bore ice five feet thick
below Vienna.

CONGRESSIONAL CONV1-1NTION.—Tl1e Cou-
gressional Convention for this District
will be held this year at Bridgcp_ort.—-
The day is not yet authoratively announc-
ed, though it will probably be Wednes-
day, the l8th of Febuary next.
We are surprised that any should ever
think of holding this Convention at any
so out-of-the-way place as Brookficld
where it was held two years ago, or New
Milfordwere some certain individuals are
anxious it should be held the present sea-
son. Apart from the difficulty of getting
to New Milford, its insufficient hall and
hotel _accommodations are enough to ut-
terly forbid the idea of its selection as the
locale of a Convention like this. But we
in this section of the state would as lief
undertake a trip to New Zealand as New
Milford. Let the Convention be held
where comfort,- convenience and every
economy indicates, it should be—at Brdge-
port by all means l— l'Vz'nsted Herald.
fl Brother Clarke’s sensible ‘suggestions
seem to have had no efi‘ect'upon our Congres-
sional Committee. So far as the “ accommo-
dation and convenience” of delegates from
this quarter is concerned, the Convention
might better have been called at Fancuil
Hall, Boston, or Independence Square, Phila-
delphia. Anything we may say, we are aware
is exceedingly apt to be seized upon as ‘,‘ sin.
inter” in motive, but we will hazard the ex-
pressiou of our surprise that the District
Committee should have issued such a call, in
the face of a special resolution against it,
put on record at the Convention held at
Brookficld two years since.

Donation Visit.
The Benevolent of this and the adjoining
towns are invited to join the friends and
neighbors of llinrnnw Reno, at the house of
JEIIIEL Gaumnx, Kent Street, Wilton, on
Wednesday Evening, February 4th, for the
purpose of expressing their sympathy for their
unfortunate fellow townsmen, in a Donation
Visit. Should the weather be inclement that
day—-the next fair one thereafter. It
@* We most cheerfully give place to the
above in our editorial columns,rather than in
the customary position among our-ds—for the
purpose of eliciting the sympathies of some
of our readers, who, perhaps, would gladly
give in their mite, were they made acquaint-
ed with Mr. Reed’: deplorable condition.-
Mauy hereubouts know him, and know what-
ever may have been his errors a better heart
never beat in human breast. Some years
since he lost his leg—subscquently, in conse-
quence of ii tumor, paralysis, or some kindred
affection, he lost the use of his left hand and
arm. Through the kindness of friends he
has just succeeded in providing himself with
a patent artificial leg, with which he is able
to move about with considerable dexterity,
and having the unimpaired use of his right
arm, hopes to get some employment by means
of which he can support himself and family.
But at present, and for years past, he is and
has been dependent upon. the exertions of his
wife, feeble in health, and the charities of his
immediate neighbors. We make this public
expose of his domestic matters, without per-
mission or consultation with any one, hoping
that it may be the means of augmenting his
donation on the occasion of his annual visit.
Should any feel disposed to aid him who can-
not attend in person, if they will leave their
donations with us we will most gladly be at
the trouble of transmitting them for the don-
ors on that occasion. “ He that givcth to-the

Sudden Death.
On Wednesday last, the wife of Ira Bush,
livingin the north-western part of this town,
a healthy and robust woman, complained of
a severe pain in the back of her head, while
washing, which continued to increase in se-
verity, till within an hour from the time of
her first complaining, she died ! What is pe-
culiarly remurkable about the case is her hav-
ing remarked in the morning that she did not
remember when she had felt so well, although
always enjoying general good health. Mr. B.
is a worthy mechanic, in infirm health, and
has the sympathies of the community in this
sudden blasting of his earthly hopes.

Thc Gala in Waterbury.
The storm of Sunday night week
proved most disastrous at Waterbury.—
Besides blockading the Railroads, it
caused more damage than was ever ex--
perienced by a fire. The steeple of the
2nd Cougregational_Church, and the two
on the Episcopal Church, were blown
down. The steeple of the Congregation-
al Church was the highest, and the
Church itself, one of the finest in the
State, and has been built only about two
years. The Church was built of brick,
and it is nearly ruined, almost the whole
front being carried away. In its fall the
greater portion fell on a large brick buil-
ding owned by Dr. Reynolds, which, be-
ing very stout-ly built, was able to stand
the Chock, and, fortunately, no one was
injured, although a bed-room in the upper
story, usually occupied by a young man,
who was absent at the time, was filled
with rubbish. A portion of the steeple
also fell~on a wooden building adjoining
Reynold’s Block, destroying the roof,
and another portion broke a hole through
into Hotchkiss Hall. As this is a young
Society, having been organized but about
three years, this loss must fall heavily
upon them.
The Episcopal Church is builtbf stone,
and there being no houses in close prox-
imity thereto, the damages aside from the
loss of their steeples, is trifiiug.
The whole loss is estimated at $15,000.

I The American Horseei: England.
We learn from “ Porter’s Spirit,” that
Mr. Ten Bru3ck’s American stables in
England has met with misfortunes. “ Le-
compte” has given way in his forelegs to
such a degree that he will not be able to
start in a race the coming season, and it
is doubtful if he will ever be fit to appear
upon the turf. “ Prioress” is ufiering
from spring-halt, and the entire weight
of supporting his couutry’s racing fame
rests upon “ Pryor” who has also been
ailing in his feet. At last acouuts, Pryor
was “ all right,” and high hopes are en-
tertained that he will be iu fit state to
distinguish himself when the bugle, brings
him to the scene. These mishaps to
American horses were occasioned by being
put in training too soon after a long sea
voyage, and before they had become ac‘
cliifiated.

REGISTERING Lm'rsns.—We have a
word to say about this abomination.-
Niue out of t of our losses by mail, so
far, have been registered letters, and in
no one instance has one of them been
traced up. I s the thing not evident.

"game. The P. M. General kindly points
out to thcui which letters have money in
them, and they are saved all trouble.-

your letters.—Godey’s Lady’: Book.
3- In a recent conversation with the
3d Assistant Post Master General on
this subject, he expressed to us his con-
viction that registering letters, was as per-
fect a humbug as was ever concocted, as
it but points out to the dishonest Post
Master or Clerk which late to steal . He
informed us, however, that the Depart-
nieut have in contemplation a system of
mu.-y orders, such as are so popular in

New Papers.
The Waterbury Journal, (Buchanan) is a
fresh looking candidate for public favor. We
wish it success in everything but its errone-
ous political principles.
The Housatonic Republican comes to us
metamorphosed from an old jaded out Pierce
democratic sheet, which, starting at Litch-
Ileld, went over to Falls Village for greener
pastures, but somehow those high latitudes
seem very uupromiaing for Loco 1-‘ocoism,
and we now rejoice to see the paper trans-
formed, eleansed from its former impurities,
“ clothed, and in its right mind.” Dr. C. B.
Maltbie has the care of its present health, and
gives evidence in the number before us, of
his ability to purge it of any lurking symp-
toms of sham democracy.

We regretjo learn that our friend Mitchell
of the Model Market, who is noted for having
an eye to beef, came near losing one of his vis-
uel organs Monday afternoon in conseqence
of “ taking the wrong horn of the dilemma”
while feeding one of his kine—the “ un-lu'ne-

pretty proluscly, but we are glad to learn that
no such serious consequences as at first repor-

Arrival of the Persia.
Tm: Swiss DIFFICULTY Serrano l
The Persia left early on the morning
of the 10th, and arrived at her dock on
Saturday about noon.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 7.—Tlie Paris Mon.
item of this day announces that the Con-
ference has signed a Protocol, which puts
an end to the difiiculties which have delay-
ed the execution of the treaty of peace.
The news by the Persia is important,
inasiuuch as it is stated that the Swiss
difiiculty is virtually settled by the inter-
position of France, supported by England.
The Emperor Napoleon undertakes
that Prussia shall renounce all claim upon
N eufchatel in consideration of the release
of the prisoners, -France further under-
takes to prevent any aggression by Prussia
against Switzerland—Switzerland approves
of the terms, and the Federal assembly is
summoned to ratify them.
Advices from Constantinople announce
that the Turkish Government has definite-
ly arranged with English capitalists for a
loan of .£°.12,000,000 at 6 per cent. The
monthly statement of the Bank of France
shows an increase of commercial discounts,
and a heavy decrease of bullion.
The movement against the income tax
has spread to Ireland, where it is discus-
sed vigorously.
The principal feature of the news is the
bombardment of Canton, in China, by the
English fleet under Admiral Seymour, in
which engagement the English took a
number of the encmy,s forts, besides cap-
turing the Viceroy’s Palace. The cause
of the attack was the refusing of the
Chinese authorities to restore twelve Chi-
nese seamen, abducted from a coaster
under a British flag. The Americans
were also engaged in hostilities against
the Chinese, the ship Portsmouth having
destroyed a fort in consequence of an in-
sult offered’ to the American flag.
French papers - generally approve the
hostile measures against Canton. A des-
patch from Naples states that the Nea-
politan frigate Charles III, with troops,
bound to Sicily, blew up the 5th. Many
lives lost.

\\’e are shut in on all sides. We have
ust heard fi'oin Philadelphia and Boston
stoppage on the principal roads now, as‘
the snow was drifting under a heavy
wind, last night. Business has been
brought to a dead stand. Manufacto-
ries have been cut off entirely from their
agents here, so that very little could
have been done in any kind of manufac-
tured goods, if buyers had really been in
market. The amount of time lost by
everybody is perfectly iucalculablc. The
storm on Monday astonished the oldest
inhabitants. Down town places of busi-
ness were opened for one or two hours
only, and some not at all. Secretaries
and Treasurers were imprisoned in the
suburbs, with safe keys and important
documents in their pockets. The oldest
and most regular houses, which had es-
tablished a reputation for punctuality al-
most c'qunl to that of time and tide, were
found wanting on Monday.
No better sleighjng could be asked for
than we have since the last light fall of
snow, in the middle of the week, but it
has been too bitterly cold for out-door
enjoymeuts. We have seen the East
River ice-locked again; though there has
been no sheet of solid glare ice formed.
At one time, large quantities’ of drift ice
accumulated in the narrower parts of the
East River, and was slightly fastened to-
_ gethcr by the frost. Large numbers of
foolhardy persons crossed the river on this
drift ice, and, when it broke up with the
tide, there were three or four hundred
men moving down towards Governor's
Island, at a rapid rate, on one very large
the frail raft, and succeeded in landing
of life or limb. Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher crossed the ice with his daughter
and came near taking an involuntary
trip down the Bay, as the ice broke up
just as he reached the pier. —
3 A very plausible plan of a bridge to
Brooklyn, has been presented, in response
to the public feeling which demands
some more certain means of transit be-
tween that City and New York, than the
ferry-boats. The estimated cost is $4,-
000,000. It is proposed to build stone
abutments with iron arches sufiicieutly
high to allow of free passage for ves_sels.
It is thought that the expense of con-
structing this bridge would be almost
wholly defrayed by leasing the upper part
of the arches for landing goods. There
wouldbe no charge for foot passengers,
and the Brooklyn city railway would be
extended to the New York side. The
plan is looked upon very favorably by
the Brooklyn people.
In the way of amusements, we have
very little besides sleigh riding. Miss
‘Matilda Heron’s first appearance here,
as Camille, at Wallack’s, took the town
by surprise. She is the odly artiste, in
tragedy, of American birth, who has
been here for a long time. Her success is
in strong contrast with the ludicrous fail-
ure of Mrs. McMahon, the luckless
“ Fifth Aveuiie debutante.” Strnkoseh

Toucey’: Prospects.
The reported efforts of Gov. Wise to
kick Isaac Toucey out of Buchanan’s
Cabinet, are likely to prove successful.-—
The Boston Post, the leader of the merce-
nary press in New England, is out strong-
ly for Nathan Clifford of Maine as the
representative of New England in the
Cabinet, and it seems to speak by au-
thority. The immensc damage iuflicted
upon the Democratic party by Toucey’s
conduct is properly used as an argument
against him, though it is hard to see
what good Mr. Clifford has done in Maine.
On the other hand, it is said that Toucey
being entirely useless as a home politi-
cian, should be provided for by a nation-
al ofiice, and as he cannot have a foreign
mission without recalling Governor Sey-
mour from Russia, the oulyplace open for
him is a Cabinet otlice. There can be
little doubt that the Boston clique will
kill oil‘ the Connecticut applicant, if they
are as determined as they seem, and it is
even hinted that there is a luke warmness
here in Connecticut which would not be
greatly displeased if Toucey should be
neglected. Should Toucey get into the
Cabinet, there would naturally be the less
chance of Colin Ingerso1l’s getting a for-
eign appointment, because Connecticut is
too small a State to furnish more than
two ofiicers of the first or second class,
and therefore local reasons would justify
the New Haven clique in any gratifica-
tion they might feel at Toucey’s disap-
pointment.
Perhaps they had better settle the
matter by putting Toucey up for Con-
gress in the Hartford District. He
would be a ‘capital man ‘for anybody to
run agaiust.—N. H. Jmmial.

3-_ The funeral of the Rev. Father

took place in Cork, on the 12th ult., and
was, perhaps, the most remarkable one
ever witnessed in that city. The arrtrgc

took an hour and a half to pass any
particular point. It was attended by
the Corporation and City ofiicers, in
mourning, by several dignitaries and cler-
gymeu of the Established Church, as well
as by n. vast number of the Roman
Catholic clergy, with their bishop at tlieif
head, and by all the Roman Catholic and
it great many of the Protestant gentry
of the surrounding country. It was esti-
mated that not fewer than 50,000 people
were ‘assembled’ in and around the ceme-
try’ on the occasion ; and the deepest sym-
pnthy was expressed by the greater num-
ber of those present, many of them were
shedding tears. The Roman Catholic
bishop and seventy priests ofiiciated at
the obsequies in the Catholic Church of
the Holy Trinity.

then will be the time, once for all, to de-
cide the grave political questions which
underlie all well regulated Common-

let Slavery alone-—-to forego all legislation
in reference to it, until the State Consti-
tution is formed. He recommends that
the errors and omissions on the statute
book be corrected--denounces the Test

He disapprovcs the present mode of col-

adoption by lot. He insists on voting
by ballot, and suggests a law requiring a
residence of ten days in a district, for

Fatal Accident.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 21.
. A terrible tragedy occured here to-day.
A druggist filled a prescription ordered
by Arnold, a German physician, for a
child. The child took the medicine and
died immediately. Arnold took the re-
maiuder of the medicine to the druggist,
and told him he had made a fatal mis-
take. The druggist persisted that the
medicine was right, and to show his cou-
fideiice in his correctness, be swallowed a
portion himself. He was immediately
attacked by horrible convulsions and died
in five minutes. The doctor, who merely
tasted the preparation and spit it from
his mouth, was also attacked and with
difiiculty saved. The affair occasioned
great excitement. The druggist had
mixed Cyanuret of Potassium with lemon
juice, developing enough Prussic Acid in
the preparation to have killed three hun-
dred people.
