An ApPARITIoN.-The Concord States
man publishes singular story, related BY
two persons under oath Of confession
recently made by person named Samuel
Mann. Of Benton, N. H., while on his
death bed, of having aided. 40 years ago,
in the commission Of murder. The two
persons who relate the story were watch
ing with the deceased on the night Of his
death, and most remarkable part Of their
story is, that before the confession, a
strange looking man suddenly appeared in
the chamber, standing between them and
the bed, the room being at once lighted ub
with Gan unearthly crimson colored light,
and looking at the sick man. The sick
man was dreadfuly frightened and agita-
ted, made the confession above mentioned
describing the place, but not the names of
parties, and immed,atly died. The stranger
disappeared, and the witnesses were tre-
mendously frightened. In consequence OF
this story, an old rumor has been revived
Of the murder Of carpenter named Hold
gdon, by man named Moves, who is since
deceased, to which murder it is coniectured
that man was accessory. E'.

BIRDs.-We have been favored with
proof sheet Of little work on birds, which
is about to BE- put TO press, by Mr.. Duke
of this city. Judging from the passages
we have read, it is likely to prove very
acceptable offering to those who are fond
Of birds, and to contain much calculated
to interest With regard to the nightingale
we find this passage:
ellis song is said to commence at sun
set, when all the rest Of the world is
slowly sinking into silence; and as the last
rays Of the red sun fall on the mountain
tops, & the crested coronals Of lofty forest
trees, browning them as it were with d
halo Of flame, it rises in its fullest perrec.
ton. Then the nightingale from his perch
MARBLES on until the god Of day rises in
the east. His song is at once most melod-
ious and expressive, now swelling into
loudness and splendor Of tone, it the next
instant sinks into the mos, soothing soft
ness and exqusteness Of expressions; or,
is low, faint and murmuring as the last
dying tones Of far distant echo, and then
bursting into violent and rapid arlicua-
ton, he breathes at once anger, passion,
love, delight and joy, in the constant & ever
varying changes which he pours out, like
water ever gushing from a spring, on the
ear Of night.-PAH. Eng.

Duty on LEAD.-During the discussion in tho
House OF Representatives on the Tariff. Mr. FIJI
more OF n. Y. moved to reduce the duties on cad
in bars and pigs from three to taco and half cents
per pound.
Hon. II. DODGE, of Wisconsin, addressed the
House IN opposition to the motion, a S follows:
Mr.. DODGE said he felt it to be an i'm
perative duty to stand forward in defence
Of most meritorious and valuable class of
citizens which he had the honor to repre-
sent-he meant the miners Of Wisconsin,:
whose labors mad CO attributed more 10 en-
rich the country, and, in regard to one
great ingredient Of war, to render US
independent Of foreign nations than any
other class Of men; he alluded to the article
Of lead. "
From report recently made by the
Secretary Of War to the Senate, j, is shown
that the amount Of lead made at the upper
Mississippi lead mines, from 1921 to the
Both September 1884, was 66,664, 1862 lbs.
and that the rents received from the miners
by the government, during that period,
amounted to 5,270, 55S pounds. 1t also ap-
pears, from report recently made by the
present superintendent Of the United Statcs'
ead-mnes, to the Ordinance Department
that, at the Upper Mississippi ead-mincs,
there were made. during the las. wear,
20 millions of pounds. This will show the
vast increase Of the manufacture Of that
article.
1t is believed, now, that the enterprise
and industry of the citizens who are en-
gagged in The business of mining, can fur
nish supply Of the article for the entire
! consumption Of our country, and enable
the government to accumulate sufficient
quantity in our military stores for the
emergencies Of war.
However sound and just the policy which
urges members Of the National Legsla-
ture, 10 oppose the adoption of protective
or high duties, with view to encourage
certain articles Of domestic manufacture;
it is believed the arguments and reasons by
which they are governed will not apply in
reference 10 high duty on lead.

No Lawyer.-At the English settle
ment on the bay Of Honduras there is moi,
single lawyer, and never has been. Even
the judges were never lawyers. The par
ties in controversy examine their wit
nesses and argue their own cases, which
is done in a perfectly familiar, conversa-
tonal way. The merits Of the case are
thus so slearly brought out, that there is
rarely any question with the jury about,
the verdict. There is a right Of appeal TO
the council; but so satisfactory are trials
in the primary court that only one cause
has been carried up in twenty-five years.
What happy thing it would be if ce could
adopt such system!
