DEATH OF Hon. WILLIAM PATrep.
soN.-The Hon. WILLIAM PATTERSON.
Representative in Congress from this coun-
ty' died at his residence in Warsaw, on
the evening of Tuesday, the l4th inst,
aged AZ years. His complaint was fe-
yer, apparently induced by the fa,igues at
tendent upon the close of the last session
OF Congress, and exposures while on his
return home. He was quite indisposed
when he reached home, and the SYMPTOMS
soon after assumed serious aspect. still
his tElends fiauered themselves that the un-
broken energies of a very vigorous con-
sttutIon, would be sufficient to Withstand
the violence of the disease. Their homes
were domed 10 meet with a sad disappoin,-
ment, and their anxious care and solicit
tude were like unavaiing. WILLIAM
PATTERSON IS no more! t1e was kind
aud atttctlonate in his domestic relations ::
an exemplary chrlstlan-a constant friend:
! the benefactor and advocate ofthe poor and
oppressed fearless, faithful and untirino
IN the discharge of his public duties-and
IN the fullest and broadpst SENSE an un-
| right and honest man.-Am. Citizen.
DISTRESSING RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.
AS this mornings train of cars from Ston-
lngton were approaching the village of
Greenwich, r. l., deaf and dumb man
ch1nced unfortunately to BE- crossing the
rail road at the very moment the cars rush
ed by. Of course neither the bell attach
ed to the engine, nor the shril sound OF
the steam whistle, both which had given
their timely warning when the train is
nearing the crossroads, could notify him
of his danger. Walking deliberately up
to the locomotive, blow from project
ing part Of the framework f4Ied him 10
the ground, & so severely injured the poor
creature, by breaking his arm and dread
fully fracturing his skull, that when the
cars left him with his friends, it was evi
dent he could survive bu! a few moments
We learn Tint not the slightest blame car
BE- attached TO the eng neer on the road. A
Whiskev bottle, which was found shivereo
to atoms in the pocket of the dying mute
accounts for the stupeaction under " hic l.
his other senses-generalv so acute anc
vigilant in peraons deprived Of their hear
ing-must have been !aboring, to have al
lowed him thus to walk into destruction
itself-BostOn Mer. Journal.
TIE GOLD Co1NAGE.-The COLDER
Gag c is about to make lis appearance ii
our land. Directions have been giver
by the Treasury Department to the Di
rector of the Mint at Philadelphia, to hav
the dies prepared for this superb coin, am
the Stamping of it commenced with al
convenient despatch.
The coinage of the eagle ceased il
1904, because the erroneous standard O
our gold caused it to be exported aImos
as fast as it was struck. The exhibits c
Of the mint show that upwards of 81,
100000 Of this coin were struck; an
where are they now! All gone to Eng
: land! Not one to be seen in the Unite
5 States; and probably there are many pei
sons in the United States who are thrt
: years DID, and who never saw the goI
eagle of our coinage.
There cannot now be less than S25
100000 of god in the country, and Their
is scarcely town or village in whc
! more or less of it may not be ob:ained.-
