On Sunday last about IL o'clock, whilst
the Inhabitants of Russelville were listening
to an eloquent and fervent discourse on the
attributes of the Deity, from the lips of the
Rev. Silas H. Morrison, they were sudden
ly alarmed at report as of large cannon
in the vicinity! This was instantaneously
followed by low, hollow, rumbling noise,
which appeared to approach in a southern
direction, and became more and more dis
tinct. The Heavens, already dark and
cloudy, suddenly assumed a deeper hue !;
until 1t became so dark that it was difficult
to discern objects in the courthouse, where
the congregation was assembled. All at
once, however, the darkness gave place to
an almost painful brightness: a body of fire,
apparently twenty feet in diameter, was
seen TO advance with amazing rapidity from
the same direction in which the sound had
proceeded. 1t passed right over the town
with loud whizzing noise and left behind
a strong sulphureous smell. In few sec
onds we heard another loud explosion. The
same darkness succeeded, but as Milton
says, mot so palpably obscure"

PREDICTION VERIFIED. Our readers are all
familiar with the anecdote of the Almanac
maker, whose boy inadvertently seasoned the
weather with I" little snow" in June. which.
by an extraordinary coincidence of circum.
stances, established the reputation of the AL.
manac beyond the reach of gainsaying. The
faith, so prevalent at that time in Almanac
makers predictions, respecting the weather,
seems not to be extinct, even at the present
day. During the prevalence of the mild wealth
er, in the fore part of this winter, a trader in
Franklin County was thus accosted by one of
his customers -" Mr.. Yardstick, I've brought
back the Almanac bought of We, for 1 don't
bleve it's ginnywine, and want my sixpence

went on to relate, that, depending on his Alma.

pointed. He then opened his Almanac, and ex.
hibted TO the shop-keeper the following words,
extending through half page, and occupying
a space of two or three weeks: "Look for
SnoU about this time" SO, said the trader,

fault is your own, and not mine nor the Alma

that the Almanac did not predict the coming of
snow, but merely the looking for IL; if it had
actually come, people would not have been
looking FOR it, as you say every body has been,
even as is there foretold and thus the predic.

purchaser, who went away, not only satisfied
that his Almanac was the "ginny'oine Far

SAvISGs BANKS. We have lately seen the

appear to be in prosperous condition. This

County. Thus far, it has equalled the expecta-
tions of its friends in the number and amount
of its deposites, and has proved blessing to
very many of those who have awaited them
selves of the advantages which it offers for
safe and profitable investment of savings. Amid
the changes and revolutions in business of the
last year, those who placed their money in this
institution, not only made it safe, but kept it
accommodating, while their less cautious neiph-
bors and friends, who left theirs in the hands
OF Indlvlduals-even of those who were consid-
cred Sgte-have, in vast many instances, had
their all swept away in the general ruin. To
persons who have regular income from labor
or from any other source, of which they can
save portion, the inducements for placing it
in Savings Bank are many. 1t will there be

OF any of those contingencies, requiring extra

Those who have influence in the communi-
ty' can hardly find an object more worthy of

benefit this institution was established. to avail
themselves of the advantages which t-otfers

LEADEN Pipes. A correspondent of the

not safe for water for family purposes; that
carbonc acid corrodes the lead, and thus
the latter passes into our food. To this the

slons relative to the use of lead, for acater
ptPeS merely ale not well founded that
there are no acids found in water in its
natural state, which will act on lead. He
quotes the opinion of DIR. Bigelow, who
says :" Leaden pipes in general are sup
posed not to contaminate the water contain
ed In them, because carbonate of lead dead
united with carbonic acid,) which is some
times formed in them, is insoluble in water.
dney are not safe however for pipes and

MR.. WEBSTER. In remarking on Mr..
Webster's first speech, the Richmond Wing
OF the "a inst. says-"The late debate in
the Senate afforded an ample field for the
display OF this gentleman's transcendant
powers, and his reply to Gen. Hayne seems
to have inspired even his enemies with in
expressible admiration, and to have given
his friends new conceptions of the force of
his towering intellect. That display, in the
estimation of discerning and impartial
auditors, has left him without compeer in
the National Councils, or even in the en-
plre, with two EXCEPTIONS What we val
ue in Mr.. Webster's speech above it's bril-
llancy, was its healing tendency, its moder-
alton and Justlce-lts magnanimity in rem
dering to quarter which has ever pursued
him with the harshest denuncation, its due
need of praise for its patriotism and genius.
This is true greatness, and the worthier Of
admiration that the man who exhibited the
magnanlmlty, has himself rarely, if ever,
experienced it."
The two exceptions made by the Editor
OF the Wing, are undoubtedly John Quincy
Adams and Henry Clay.
"A ashlngton correspondent OF the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser, under date of Feb g.,
says" Among the Senators, Webster is "fa-
Gle prlnceps'-there is doubt of this. In
the late discussion with Hayne, he, Webster,
never appeared more superior But he isrthe
great man not only here, but in the Supreme
Court depend upon it, whatever the jackson
scriblers may say of him, all here allow his in
tellectual supremacy"
can learn nothing definite of future polit-
ical movements. Calhoun and Van Buren, hate
each other with unmixed sincerity; but Van
Buren, is the present lord of the ascendant of
one thing be certGin-there IS a large, unfinch-
ing and undiminishing party in the opposition,
with good spirits and hopes: and Henry clan
is its present favorite."

MASQUERADE AND RIoT. A masquerade
was held at the Park Theatre on Monday
evening. A great crowd of people, we
understand, were collected in front of the
Theatre, and some riotous proceedings took
place-such as throwing brickbats and
other missiles at the windows, and insulting
the masquers, as they got out of their car.
riageS. The watch was applied to, but
refused to still the riot, on the ground that
the masquerade was in violation of the law.
and therefore could not expect protection
from the city authorities. Our readers will
recollect, that law was passed last year for
the suppression Of this species of amuse-
ment, and that the fine is $1,000. 1t was
supposed, that after paying the fine, the
Manager would realize handsome sum.
How it has turned out, we have not heard.
At all events, we hope it may be the last
OF these fooleries. We think this country
should not be in haste to import any artifi-
cial mode of being ridiculous.
