 DEATH OF SAMUEL WoopwoRrH- Samuel Wood- worth, the poet who from indisposton has long been under cloud, died last night, aged 5s. MT. w. by profession printer-a very amiable man, and withnl genius. In early life he was connected with several publications, the most important of which was weekly paper. very beautifully executed pub- shed lhs city during the last with England, and called "The War" It's character was indicated by its ttle it being intended as an official record of tho events of the contest MT. w. had considerable poe. ,ical talents, and manyof his me,rcal efnsons have been very popnlar-so much so as to form portion of our ever enduring literature.-N. Y. Com. Ado.
 ALEXANDER THE MURDERER-We stated yesterday that the Jury in the case of Alex ander, at Philadelphia, have returned ver- dict of guilty of manslaughter." It is said that eleven of them were for a verdict of in. sanity, and only gave in after an absence of thirty hours and that they will unite in pc. titioning Governor Porter for a pardon. Just before the verdict was rendered, the prisoner was in state of the great nervous excite ment. He rose from his seat and gazed at the foreman of the jury with an eye full of desperate energy, and look that betrayed Q world of agoniZing and conflicting emotion. He stood trembling in every limb. his left hand convulsively grasping the table before him, while his right moved nervously about, as if soaking some support to keep him from falling to the floor. When the verdict of manslaugher was announced, he fell back into his seat and wept like an infant. His father who was present was also deeply af- fected. The punishment for manslaughter in Pennsylvania. is Imprisonment from two to six years. This was as clear a case of [ murder as that of Colts, in fact just such a case but it Is fortunate that oniy a verticE. of manslaughter was rendered, for were AL exander condemned to be hung, we should have another case for the exercise of false, sympathy-the prisoner would be magnifieds into hero and a martyr, and justice would again in all probability be both wounded and created in the house of its friends. But it is said that the Jury in this case have gone 10 procure pardon for the murderer If this be true. the act can be little less than anoth- CT mockeTy ofjustice.
 M1LLER1rEs-We advise all persons who adopt the views of Elder Miller, to keep on with their business just as if the world was not coming 10 an end in April. They wilt in this way more completely fulfil prophecy. which declares that when the end comes, it will find the inhabitants of the world about their ordinary occupations. There is besides, no object in giving up business property can be placed nowhere more safely than where is is; and as the time is short 1t would be . sA -In n
