MANSION, NoRTH BEND.-The startling
events in the economy of Providence
which are croWding upon US in such
quick and almost GREATNESS succession.

awaken the mind to a solemn sense of
accountability. Before even the funeral

IN our own city, the mail brings us intel

the admiration Of all travellers thro' the
valley OF the Oaio-lhe seat of high do
mestle happiness and profuse hospitality
is laId In ashes! Coming as the event
does, SO soon after the death of the Presi-
dent, 1t forms one of those remarkable
condolences which are interviewer with
the history of the Chief Magistracy of
this republic. How shall we heed them
Are they the tokens of Heavens mercy or
Its wrath2 1t is strange dispensation of
Providence, that the long tenanted house
should be wrapped in flames so SON after

been called away.
The intelligence of the last calamity
comes to US through hasty slip from the
office OF the Cincinnati Republication

Pocket Picking "A gentleman of Prov
ldence. had his pocket picked at the depot
OF the Boston and T. rail road, of a copy
OF the Nea0 Testament, which from its
size and form, was probably mistaken for

may be benefited by the book of which
he has obtained possession in such an un-
expected manner.

master General of England, has issued an
order prohibiting any individuals employ
ed In the Post Office Department, or their
wives, from keeping houses for the sale

IL Would not GU: Government do
we'll to take the same course We think
1t cruel TO compel a young girl to go into
bar-roon for her letters, 10 be exposed
to the obscene remarks-the insolent stare,
and perhaps nameess insults of the drunk
en- and worthless loaferswho always con-
gregate in such places. Besides, general
customers are seldom able to get regular
ly, either their letters or papers from a
Post Office kept in a bar-room.-ONue
