The Fish Shower.

Prof. Olmsted of Yale College, New Haven,
has furnished the Palladium with a notice of
the severe thunder shower which took place in
that city on Wednesday evening, from which
we extract his account Of the fall of fish:
For distance Of 40 rods or more, small blue
fish were scattered over The ground, varying in
length from one TO six inches. The boys col-
lected them in considerable numbers, and seve-
raj Of them are now in my possession. They
are said by those well acquainted with the sPe-
cies TO be such as are known TO abound in the
waters just west of The city, which commun-
cate, by West River, with the Sound. The be-
lief is that they were deposited by the storm,
and the well known fact that similar occurren-
ces have been witnessed in other hail storms,
and are on record, favors this idea; nor, when
i, is well known that much heavier bodies are
raised in the atmosphere, even houses and large
ships, is there any thing incredible in the sup
position that these fish were raised from the
streams west of The city and deposited in the
course Of the storm

departure from England of the Grer

Rhode Island.

1t is perfectly evident 10 US that more trouble
is brewing, and that another effort will be made
to disturb the peace of community. We can
not, OF course, believe that this new enterprise
will be attended with any better success than
those of similar character which have trans
pired; but that it will be set on foot and speedi-
iy, the information we have picked up from va
rious quarters compels US to believe.
There was story brought.io this city last
Saturday, in regard TO certain indications near
Oxford, Massachusetts, of an unpropi,ious char
ac,er, 10 say the least The story is not gener-
ally credited. We believe it entitled TO far
more credit than il receives.
We believe there exists an organized plan to
fire our city If the truth were known there
scarcely has been night during the past week
bu, some attempt at incendiarism has been dis
covered, and perhaps awful consequences ar
rested by the timely aid Of our patrol, whose
services, Ivy the way, cannot be 100 highly ap-
preciated.
We would strongly urge continuance of our
organization, both military and civil; and we
would beg all good citizens of all parties and
persuasions TO fall into the ranks in sustaining
the peace and welfare of our State and city.
The next attack will be sudden one No
show of encampment will be made no mus
tering Of forces no slow, tardy movements but
sudden dash, as it were, will be attempted.

Politics i'm Pennsylvania.

As the dscord of many voices, produces a beau
tiful harmony in music which falls upon the ear
in sweet and enchanting sounds, so the discord
between the several factions of the loco fcco par
ty in Pennsylvania, (which is daily becoming more
perceptible) is calculated to produce harmony be-
tween the Wings of the State, and TO rebound to
theiI triumphant success at the Presidential elec-
ton. Things awfully ont of joint with our To-
CO foco BRETHREN without the least prospect of their
being set right. In the first place, the different
leaders of the party at loggerheads for reasons
best known to themselves. And in the next place,
the honest and upright men of the party who have
the good of the Commonwealth at heart, have be-
come so disguised and sickened by the conduct OF
the late Legislature, that they will try some other
remedy for our grievances than voting the loco
foco ticket In the County of Philadelphia the
breach is wide, and will insure the election OF
eight Wing Representatives and one Senator, to
the Legislature Sufficient changes in the other
counties will also probably take place TO give US
a majority of the Legislature. But be that as il
NAV: this at least is certain, James Buchanan can
not be reelected to the Senate of the T. States.
The people of Pennsylvania are friendly to Pro-
tective Tariff, and Will take care that the dem
Ocratic blood spiler' shall no longer misrepresent
them Governor Porter is anxious to be his sue
cessor, and if Wing is not chosen, he will pro-
badly be the man.

John Quincy Adams.

This baid-headed septagenarian is one oil the
most extraordinary men Of his country, or the
age. There is no subject in which he is no.
a master; no science in which he is not prof.
cien,, no knowledge but he possesses portion
of it. industrious in his habits, systematic in
his avocaiions, he has time for all things and
all occasions. He will write you poem while at
his desk in the House of Representatives, and
while doing so, if some questions Of international
law arises, or quotation from some foreign trea-
ty is made by member on the floor, his quick
ear catches the sound, and the least error in
the quotation, or the misapplicaion Of a word
is understood by him and if he is on the oppo-
site side of the case from the speaker, he turns
in one continual flow of his eloquence, his
knowledge and his sarcasm upon the quailing
victim of his wrath. Perhaps no man has felt
this more than Henry A. Wise. Mr. Adams
seems to delight in getting him in his tolls, and
tormenling him as cat does a mouse. Mr..
Adams, II is said, has kept journal of every
days proceedings from early boyhood up to the
present time. He has lived in an exiraordna-
ry period, and has been at almost every court
in Europe. Such journal must therefore be
invaluable 10 the present and future generations,
when it sees the light, as it will-N. Y. Au-

GOrcd to Death by a Bull.

The Bradford Reporter records lamentable
case Of death from goring Mr. Alonzo B. Hol-
comb, a farmer of Leroy Township, Bradford
CO., Pa, was the owner of "a valuable bull, which
he kept chained 10 stake in field on his farm.
On Friday, the 22d ut., Mr.. Holcomb, as is
supposed, undertook TO remove the stake to
another par, Of the field, when he was attacked
by the bull and gored TO death. So furious
were the assaults of the animal, that the man
was literally torn piecemeal; not an article of
clothing was found upon his person except the
wristband Of his shirt

The Philadelphia Riots.

Our commercial metropolis has again been the
scene of dsgraceful riot, and mobaw reigned tri-
umphantly there for two days. A strange infatu-
tion seems to have come over the people of the
city of Penn. They who were formerly so noted
for their order and quiet. have become, without
exception, the most disorderly community in the
country. For the last nine years, scarcely
twelve month has passed by without popular
outbreak of some description; and mostly the rage
of the rioters has spent itself upon the noensive
blacks who reside in the city This deterioration
Of morals. and disrespect for the laws, cannot but
be viewed by all good and rejecting persons as
great national calamity. Ours is emphaticay a
government which rests upon the virtue and intel
ligence of the American people, for its stability
and support. The people make their own laws,
or delegate the power to such as they are willing
shall 90 it for them, and every resistance to the
faithful execution of those laws, unless promptly
met and suppressed, weakens the bands which
holds us together as community. We have no
fauli TO find with the police and constituted au-
thorties, for any lack of promptness in their en-
deavors to suppress the late riots and crush them
in the bud. We believe they acted boldly and eff
ficiently in the matter. But we do find fault with
the authorities of Philadelphia, whose duty it is to
protect the lives and property Of their citizens for
not having better organized police, who would
be able to suppress any riotous outbreak in an
instant 1t reflects badly upon the character of
the Philadelphia that the military obliged
20 be called out before peace and quiet could be
restored 20 tae city And that the moral feelings
of the people were overcome, that until the fear
of being shot down like dogs possessed them, they
could not be induced to pause in their incendiary
course. For the honor of our Commonwealth, we
hope never TO hear of the repetition of such con-
duct.
