tire, in Washington City, D. c. previ-
Gus to the performance, two pistols
were borrowed, and loaded with
powder, by the gentleman who loaned
them, in the presence of Miss Virginia
Monier, Manageress of the Theatie,
and her sister. One ofthe pistols was
to be discharged at character per-
sonated by Miss V. Monier, and the
other at a character represented by Mr..
Johnson, during the progress of the
play. The person appointed to fire
at Miss Monier (as by the interposition
of Providence) thought he would ex-
anime the pistol (which is not often
done) previous to the act. He did SO
| and to his establishment found it load
| ed with a ball. This induced an ex-
animation ofthe other, which was to be
discharged at Mr.. Johnson, when il
was likewise found to contain a bullet
Thus, in all probability, has timely
caution saved the life ola young anC

and so mild. She was a widow, and
he her only child, and noble fel-
low he was. But she was religious
woman. never saw religion like
that before or since. We lay off in
the river till dark, and silently came
ashore on this side, for TIE night.
We dared not light a candle least the
Indians should see it. We MIXED our
COW and fed the children and got
them asleep. We then brought the
body Of the young man ashore, we
dug that grave which you see yunder.

nor even to weep aloud. But after
we had opened the grave, and were
ready to put the corpse in it, the
widowed mother spoke:
sis there no one here that can Of
fer up a prayer as we bury my on
y child?"
There was no answer. We could
all sob, but we had never prayed fer
ourselves. She then kDelt down, and
layed her hand IN the bosom fher
dead boy, she in sudden voice utter
ed such a prayer ss few ever made.
She was calm as the bright waters at
our feet. And when she came to pray
for the whole of us-for the poor ID
dams who had murdered her boy
when she gave thanks to God that
he had so, long comiorted her heart
with her dear son; and when she gave
thanks that God had given her snch a
son to give back to hint was awful!
we could not sob aloud! You prea-

her put the stone at the head of TIT

From the Louisville Journal.
THE MISSOURIIJM.

This name has been given to a new
species Of antedeluVian monsters, the
skeleton CT one Of which has been dis
covered the last year in Benton Coun-
ty, Missouri. From a recent CONVEX
sation with gentleman who dug it up,
we have gathered the following partic-
ulars respecting its discovery, and the
enormous size and singular con6gura-
ton of the animal.
The skeleton was dug up in the
centre of large spring, on the marg-
in of a creek called Pomme de Terre
about four miles from the Usage river.
An Indian tradition pointed TO the
