Shocking Aecident.-Abouts seven o'clock
last evening, boy about nine years of age,
named Charles Barrows, son of Ebenezer
Barrows, while attempting to climb into
one of the dirt carts on tie Worcester Rail-
road, was thrown on the track by the start
ing of the train, and six cars passed direct
ly over his body, killing him instantly, and
crushing his body in mos. shocking man.
ner.
For the satisfaction of the superstitious,
it may perhaps be worth while to say, that
within few minutes of the time when the
accident happened a large looking glass
in his fathers house cracked, apparently
without cause, from one end to the other
and that it had just been removed from It's
place, when the mangled body Of the boy
was brought in. The circumstance, sim
gular in itself, was witnessed by our infor-
mant. Boston Post.

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR-HOSTIL-
tiles OF THE INDIAN TRIBES ON
THE ARKANSAS RIVER

The official paper at Washington 1.-THE
Globe) publishes a letter from Capt. Dun
can, the dragons, to Lieut.. Col kearney,
dated Fort Leavenworrb, May 10Th, 10
which it is stated that Thomas Waterbury,
one of the eight traders who started from
Fort William, a trading establishment on
the Arkansas, go miles below where that
river issues from the Rocky Mountains, had
been attacked % days previous to the date
above, near Santa Yeetrace, by party oil
300 Indians on foot, and without their bors-
es or squaws. They were armed with
guns, bows, arrows and spears, and killed
three of the whites. Capt Duncan's letter
adds:
"The Indians who committed this out
rage had their faces painted red, wore long
hair down their hacks, which know TO be
the fashion of the Kioways; aud as they
are represented to be tall, handsome men, ]
should pronounce them at once belonging
to that nation, il they have not made the
attack on foot, as the Kioways generally
fight on borsebsck. sm, therefore, in

Perilous Feat.-Yesterday week, the
little daughter of Mr.. Sciarra the Italian
equiibrist, aged about nine years, perform
ed the astonishing and perilous feat of walk
ing rope stretched across the public square
of this borough. One end of the rope was
fastened to poplar tree on the east side of
the square, and the other secured through
dormer-windOw in the garret of the Frank
lin Hotel. three story building on the west
side. She walked, the whole length of the
rope, distance of about l6O feet, into the
window! 1t was most thrilling spectacle.
The breathless stiffness which prevailed
during her passage, and the spontaneous
burst Of Joy when she entered the arms ol
a gentleman at the windor, fully evinced
the intense anxiety Of the assembled multi
tude for the safety of the interesting little
creature.

Another Capitol Case.-While the SUI
preme Court was engaged IN the trial OF the
cases of Neer and Trip, on Friday last,
for murder, a scene was being enacted with
in two miles of the Court House, which
has scarcely parallel IN tho records OF
iniquity. One Michael Drum, a foreigner,
about nine o'clock in the morning, commit
ted the detestable crime of RAPE upon ut
tie Girl, but seuen years of age. He was
arrested in the afternoon, and brought before
the Hon JAMES ELLIS and II. l.. DAN
FORTH, Esq, to answer for the offence, aud
great number Of witnesses were examined,
whose testimony could leave but little doubt
upon the mind of any one, that he was
guilty of the whole charged. He was COM
mitted to answer for the offence at the APP
proaching term of the Court of Common
Pleas, when the Grand Jury will take the
matter in hand. We forbear, for obvious
reasons, to present any detail of the testimo-
ny TO the public. 1t is a most singulr fact,
that at the very time the Chief Justice was
charging the Jury in capitol case, another
crime, more atrocious than murder, should
be committed almost within sound of his
voice. Taunton Wing.

Claibourne county, an elderly gentleman,
was making fence, he discovered large
spider, which he killed with stone. In
afterwards prosecuting his work, he had
occasion to handle the same stone. A NOR
iiiicafion shortly afterwards commenced in
his hand and increased until it produced
his death in 8 or 10 days. AT The time he
handled the stone, he had slight sore on
his hand in which the modification after

have came in contact with some poisonous
matter from the spider left on the stone.

FORTIFICATION BILL.

AS this is a subject in which the good
|eople of Newport are generally interested,
Fe are happy to have it in our power to
|redict the speedy passage of the bill. BY
ccounts lately received from Washington
fe are convinced that there is determin-
ton to listen no longer to four days,
|peech, or to permit a factious and election
fering minority to interrupt the regular
curse of business. If the previous ques-
ion should be frequently resorted to, it
you'd not be to check the freedom of de-
pate, but to secure speedy legislative action
|n matters of moment to the country.
When the minority were permitted to 60

|f preventing the passage of important bills

Fivolous questions of order, by repeated

aid they, " in your own hands: why don't

Importance to the country, and the cry is

A most brutal mwder.-Was committed
in Argyle, near Bangor, Me-, OIL Friday
week, on an old man by the name of Kea-
zer, by his son and son-in-law. 1t appear
ed from the evidence given on the inquest,
that the parties had been drinking to excess
the old man boasted that there was no
man in the State who could throw him.
His son replied that he could do it, and
Immediately seized and threw him. The
old man struggled, but was held down by
the son. William Keazer, younger son,
attempted to interfere, but was prevented
by the son-in-law, Trefton, who struck him
on the head with shingle malIet, and in
flicted other blows. He then ran for assis.
tance-went few rods, and saw William
striking the old man with club. When
he returned with others, the father was JUS
breathing his last. The sous were arrested
examined, and CON mitted.

he effect of the new Post Office Bill,
i o it goes into fall operation, will be to
n from the Postmasters the remunera-

he use of the boxes, and transfer it to
Golfers of the department. We are of
humber who doubt the expediency and
Piustice of the change. The plan of pro-

zens was devised and carried into effect
the Postmasters themselves-an ar
cement with which the government
strict fairness and propriety should
have interfered. No person is COM
led to take box,-there is therefore
ther imposition nor excertion in the prac-
}. 1t is a matter purely voluntary on the

,venience to the public ar '."N-,',e de-
-tment itself, inasmuch as, facilitates
distribution and delivery of the mail.
e have no doubt that many in the small
towns, who now hire boxes would refuse
take them if the government were to re-
We the money paid for their use. They
nix the government pockets enough of

Worthy Of Attent;ca.-A discovery is
said to have been made, that if the bodies
of men or animals be plunged for some time
in solution of corrosive sublimate, aud
afterwards dried, they assume the consis-
tency of wood, and the air produces no eff
feet upon them aud if the bodies be in
jected before they are plunged in the liquid,
they will retain the color and appearance of
life, and consequently form mummies far
more perfect than the Egyptian.
