The following account Of an accident, from
the St. Lawrence Republican, is so disgraceful
to human nature, that we would fam hope At can

.4ccident.-On Wednesday last, a young man
by the name of John c. Stone, formerly OF Turin,
Lewis county, was drowned little below this
village, under the following circumstances. The
deceased aud an individual by the name OF Hod-
Akins. went out in small sk,fffor the purpose OF
obtaining some sand. Having procured, and
placed il in a box, in the skif. they commenced
their return, but the boat not being properly bs

was upset and instantly sank. Stone anu Holds

boots, Stone became so much exhausted That no

is rendered still more shocking by the fact that if
the relief which was at hand, had been rendered.
Stone might have been saved. man, "a brute
or worse than butte, we should have said.) was
standing upon the shore and witnessed their per

when the boys Who came to their relief asked him
for his canoe, (which was locked up) he, like
still more heartess wretch than he had before
shown himself, asked how much they could glue
him for the use Of his canoe; but the lads. not ha-

SELECTED POETRY

Extracted, for the Gazette. from 'Findens Gall er,
Of the Graces-"
On hearing favorite Old Song.
That piece of song.
That old and antique sorg, we heard last night!
GTwxLrTH NleHr.
II haunts me-ah! it haunts me yet,
That song of yester.eve!
1t had murmur like regret,
Yet did not make me grieve;-
II seemed to lead my heart, again,
Ger all its pleasant years,
A path without remorse or pain,
And yet, beneath that simple strain,
Nine eyes were dim with tears.
Methought the wild notes seemed to rise,
Loosed from the golden strings,
Like singing birds that seek the skles'
On new enfranchised wings;
And, still, | seem to hear them play
Beyond the reach OF sight.
And pour their sweet and soften'd lay,
In dream.like music far away,
Amid their homes Of light
Unheard before, yet 1t took
An old familiar tone;
A. stranger-eves wear, Oft, look
Of ewes that We have known
In some forgotten time and place,
And light. with sudden spell,
Some darkened thought, some shado~y trace,
Whose silent and mysterious grace
The heart remembers well.
An antique, yet novel tone!
The past aud future years.
New voices, mkt with voices gone,
Were murmuring in my ears; -
Fresh streams Of feeling seemed to rush,
With antient ones, along,
And hidden springso Of thought to gush
Within my spirits Horeb bush
Beneath the touch OF song!
A song, methinks, is like sigh
Both seem to soar from earth,
And each is Weakened but to die
Exhaling in its birth;
Yet both to mortal hearts belong
By MANY nameless sympathies;
And each is DER the other strong,
For they who SIGH are scaihed by song,
Aud songs are paid in signs!

There is something most extraordinary in the
following editorial paragraph; and we confess be-
yond cur comprehension.
How in trial conducted with SO much respee-
liability and talent on both sides. as was that Of
Ephraim K. Avery, such difference OF names
could have been overlooked. and the character Of
Maria Snow Cornell could have been accepted
as that of Sarah NJ Cornell. we cannot possibly
conceive. Surely there must be some mistake
