On Sunday last, this town was attended by a
very severe and remarkable snow ftorm,for the
season of the year. Ft began 'to snow about
7 o'clock in the morning, and continued to
come down incessantly until hear 3 in the even
ing. It is the opinion of many people, that
there was as much snow fell that d^y, as there
has for one time the winter past. We are in
formed, by a gentleman, Who left Bolton, on
Sunday evening, that the snow then lay fix in
ches deep upon a level, at that place.

BETHELS '(MAINE) APRIL 28.
A very melancholy accident took
place in Peabody'6 Patent, on the 21st
fnft — \s Mr. Joseph Bloget was cros
sing Androfcoggin river, in company
with Mr's. Adams (wife of Mr. Isaac
Adams of that place, and daughter of
capt. Eleazer Twitchell of Bethel) and
her child, Mils Lydia Twitchell fitter
to Mrs. Adams, and a small daughter
to Mr. David Bradley, the cartoe being
driven dowp the dream, which was ve
ry rapid, firuck upon a jam of logs,
which lay upon a rock, about two or
three rods from the Ihore, and immedi
ately uverfet and threw them into the
river. They were all drowned except
Miss Lydia Twitchell, who was fortu
nately saved by the afliftance of Mr.
Bloget's father, who accompanied them
to the river, and was on the ihore. She
was carried down the river about fif
teen or twenty rods, and almost lifelefs
before she was taken out of the water.
The fame time the was taken out,Mrs.
Adams and her child in her arms, pas
sed by not far from the Ihore ; but no
advance could be afforded them, nor
to the-ether Hvo unhappy persons. The
accident happened a little before funfec.
The next day search was made for the
dead bodies, and the body of Mr. Blo
get was found, and decently intered on
Saturday. The body of the child was
found on Tuefday, and was buried on
Wednesday in Bethel. The bodies of
the other two, have not been found, tho'
great exertions hive-been made by the
neighbours to obtain them. It will be
heavy tidings to Mr. Adams, who was
absent on a journey, when he (hall
bear of the death of his wife arid only
child. They were young and promis
ing people ; and a large circle of friends
and acquaintance, have sustained a
great loss in being thus early deprived
of their foeiety.

GOLDSMITH'S GRAVE.
* The following singular circumstance
/took place at the late fire in Hamilton's
premises: A torrent of melted metal,
formed of the liquified types took its
course into the Temple Church, and
has there formed a complete covering
for rhe grave of the celebrated Oliver
Goldsmith ! — Lon. pap. *
General Lee's confessing himleff
to be the author of Junius, reminds us
of a story told of foe Ward, a renowned
English pugilist, who being urged to
fight Big Ben, exprefled some reluctance
and a charitable apprehension that he
should kill him with a fimgle blow—and
very modestly added, " for I CONFERS
that I strike the hardest blow of any

By Last bfpfif Mail.
There have been Numerous reports
of the commencement of war in Eu
rope since we have had reason to expert
that event. Time has dispersed them
all ; and flea! rumours mutt be plausi
ble indeed to obtain belief, after cru
dulity has been so frequently deceived.
Russel, the Editor of the Concord Repub-
Lcon, a true blue "Jacobin paper, has absconded.
He was called on rather unexpectedly to pay a
fine of sol. and pass a tew months in a Con
necticut jail, to whi;h he was fentehced for
forging a few State Certificates of that state, —
Having undergone one part of his hard aristo
cratic sentence at the Whipping Post, and
rather inclining to " manage bit affairs in bis own
•way, unembarrassed by too much regulation," he
lifted jail, and fought a refuge in this State,
—What part he has played here is very well
known, she Sheriff after apprehending him,
imprudently took bail for forty eight hours—
Russel abfeonded, and his bondsmen were left
to fuffer for their credulity. Thus is terminated
the political career of a man, fought out and
fapported b" our Democrats for the lofty pur
pose of revolutionizing New-'Hampfhire.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We have received a lengthy communication
signed “ Animadversor," and after a delib
erate perusal have concluded not to publish it
at prefect. There is a class of character that
derive a consequence solely from opposition, and
: es this class is the man whose career is animad
verted on. Our Correspondent may however
rest assured, that few communications for the
Oracle have given more pigafure on the read
ing than the one under consideration —and that
it (hall be carefully preserved, and should future
occasion require, will be given the public.
