Thursday night last, to the depth of about
inches. On the high lands in the west part of
the town, and in some of the adjacent towns, it
fell from TO 9 inches deep The New York
and Philadelphia papers mention the falling of
snow in those cities. In Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
and generally through Ohio, there was snow 4
or inches deep as early as the 18th of last
month Throughout the western part of New
York State, it was taco feet deep on the Goth,
and had not then done storning. The moderate
weather which succeeded the storm here, with
the rain on Monday, has carried the snow all off
in this vicinity.

SAM PATCH. We have had conversation
with one of the most distinguished men in the
medical profession in this State, who was pres
ent when Patch took his fatal leap at the falls of
the Genesee He informs us that the incina-
ton at which he entered the water was but
small, yet as it was forward, he thinks it suffi
Gent to destroy life, with such momentum as
must have been acquired in descent of 1875
feet. Had the inclination been backward, so as
to have brought the blow on the back part of
his body, probably no injury would have been
sustained. He says that Patch was considera-
bly, intoxicated at the time, and he attributes
his death entirely to that circumstance, as he
might easily have kept his balance if he had
been sober. Our informant staid in Rochester
seven days after the leap was made, and up to
the time OF his leaving. although dgent search
had been made, the body had not been found.
Several attempts have been made TO sport
with public creduity, some by representing
that Patch is still alive, and others, that his
body had been found, &c. OF his death, there
is no possible room for doubt, and it is certain
that his body had not been found at the date of
the last accounts from Rochester.

ATwooD's DoFFER. The editor of the Mid
dletown Comm Gazette thinks we were in
an error in surprising that the Improvement
spoken of in the extract which we copied from
the Berkshire .7n,crican, week before last, had
been used in this State for six or seven years
We are glad to learn from him that it is prob
ably valuable improvement upon the modes
heretofore adopted for making roping directly
from the cards. Every improvement of this
kind contributes 10 the reaL independence of
the country. The following extract is from the
article alluded TO:
We presume the editor has confounded Mr.
Atwood's machine with one which has been
tried and is now in use in some factories, tech
nlcally termed the splicer, or another, called
the condenser. The objection to the former, is
that 1t does not work with the card, some rolls
tapping too much, and others not at all to the
latter, that IFS effect is to draw the work length
wise, producing hard thread, wholly unfit for
hlllng. Mr.. Atwood's machine, while by its
operation IT makes an endless roll takes the
wool from the card, in the same manner as the
common doffer and is liable to none of the OBJ.
Jectlons which manufacturers have experience.
ed from the others; performing its work, as
we have been informed, to the entire satsfac-
ton of those manufacturers who have adopted
it. We would further observe that Atwood's
Dotfer has been adopted at the Pameacha Fac
tory in this place, one of the oldest in the coun-
try, to the exclusion of every other, and that it
has been pronounced, not only by American
manufacturers, but also by those scientific for
eIgners who have had an opportunity of wit
Messing its operations, as one of the most valu-
able inventions that has been introduced into
the manufacture of WOOL

VIRGINIA CONVENTION. Since our last, the
subject of the basis of representation has been
suffered TO sleep in the Virginia Convention,
and it has been succeeded by discussion of the
Elective Franchise Nothing definite has been
done on this question, though several PROPOSE
tions have been considered and rejected. On
the oath, a resolution was virtually adopted
giving the right of suffrage to the following
classes of persons, viz
l. The freeholders as defined under the Old
Constitution. g. Lessees for FIVE years, having
one year to run, and whose annual rent is
[amount not fixed 3. Housekeepers and heads
of families who have been resident for six
months, or have paid revenue to the Common
wealth for the preceding year. A. All freehold
ers, whose freeholds shall be of the assessed
value of --, [sum not yet fxedl if such as
sessment be required by value.

something nearly like the foregoing, will even

tied as it is in most OF the other States It is
singular, that, notwithstanding this convention
has been in session six seven weeks, it has yet
settled no one principle Of the new Constitution.
In the mean time, Congress is about to sit, OF
which body several of its number also mem
bers. Many more of them also belong to the
State Legislature which will sit soon.
P. S. Since the above was written, we learn
that the propositions above named, were report
ed from the Committee of the whole to the Con-
vention, and that the discussion on the resolu.
ton of the Legislative Committee, fixing the
basis of representation in the Senate, was re-.
Moved, with stronger indications than hereto
fore, of speedy termination.

BASIL HALL.-Capt. Hall found one individual in
the United States who read him, and treated his an
moving curiosity in the manner in which it merited,
ana which, it seems, Capt Hall himself indirectly
eomnends. AS the anecdote has never been publish
3D. we will give it, at the same time expressing the
hope, that it will find place, with suitable comments,
in the American edition of Capt. Halls Travels.
What stones are these? said Capt. Hall TO Pa
vier, who was very busy in laying curb stones
Of the Sidewalks leading to the Capitol at Washing
ton. The Pavier looked up at the inquirer, and der-
wing an unfavorabe impression to his character,
from the first glance of his features, deliberately de-
termned to quiz him, instead of making civil and
satisfactory reply What stones these? repeated
Capt. Hall, mpatently They are such stones, re-
turned the Pavier, we for curb stones. Where
do you get the stones said the Capt At Capt. Fol-
SONS, was the reply. Who is Capt. Folsom? Capt.
Folsom is the contractor for furnishing stone. Where,
said the Capt in utter despair does Capt Folsom get
the stones Here the fellow, with sly look of tri-
umph, gravely replied, that's Capt. Fosom's look out,
not mine.
While we are upon this subject we will relate ano-
Their anecdote of Capt Basil Hall, which will shew
the estimate which the very respectable representative
of Great Britain, in the u States, Mr. Vaughan, puts
upon Capt Hall. AT the Columbian Institute Din
ner, Capt. Hall sat near the President MIR Adams,
Mr.. Vaughan, and Col. Knapp. Capt. Hall stated
in the course of conversation, that he had learned
from good authority, that there were 100000 pau
pers in the United States. Mr. Adams expressed his
disbelief of the statement. and Capt. Hall repeated
that he had learned the fact from authority which
he implicitly relied. Mr. Adams appealed to Col.
Knapp for his views the subject as he had been
on a committee of the Massachusetts, Legislature APP
pointed to investigate the subject Of paupersm Col
Knapp, after giving his views, asked Capt. Hall what
he understood by paupers. The Capt. replied that he
understood by the term those members of the commu
