SO in the present instance: Not merely the symbol of
death, but death itself, enters the glad circle and
clothes it in mourning on the very day that was to be
season of rejoicing. Miss King had been absent
three years, Virginia. where she had been in charge
of the Female Department of an Academy. Return
ing home TO visit her venerable Father and other
friends, she had scarcely been twenty -four hours un-
der the paternal roof ere she was struck with DEATH
She was taken i'll at New York. but the hope and
exciting anticipatons of reaching home gave her
strength that she pursued her Journey and reached
Burlington on Saturday evening. On Sabbath morn
ing she was carried TO her fathers house. On her
arrival she had hardly sufficient strength to greet her
friends or TO speak of the incidents Of the journey
The best medical aid called in and it was thought
she would revive But she soon grew worse--and af
ter few hours was bcreft of reason; and at two o.
clock Tuesday morning, yielded up her spir, to her

the JOY of her return changed to the sadness of her
funeral rites. Under such dspensaon Of Gods

ourselves to penetrate the mysteries of that provl-

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE
POSTMASTER GENERAL.

We regret to state that a most painful oc-
currence took place yesterday on board the
steamboat Georgia, of the Baltimore and Nor
folk line. 1t appears that the boat on her pas
sage to Baltimore, took board at Old Point
Comfort several passengers, among them the
Hon. c. A. Wickffe, Postmaster General, his
two daughters and several other persons, and
young man named J. Mexican Gardner. son of
Col c. X. Gardner, of Washington City, for
merly first Adllor OF the Post Office Depart.
ment.
During his stay Old Point the conduct of
Mr.. Gardner was remarked by the visiters as
of very singular character, and the belief
was generally entertained that he was laborng
under mental derangement-a belief which
was strongly concurred in by Mr.. Wicklihe,
himself, with whom he had several times been
in conversation About half past | o'clock YES
terday, when the passengers were summoned
TO dinner, Mr.. Wcklliie, who was standing on
deck, offered his arm to the ladies' who were
with him, and while in the act of so doing,
Gardner, without any previous intimation, sud
denly sprung at Mr.. Wckife and aimed a
powerful blow with clasp knife at his breast
The blade of the knife struck the right breast
bone with much force and traversed the bone
without, it is believed, iniurng the lungs, or
making deep incision. Lieutenant Bradford
of the U. s. Navy, standing close by, instantly
seized Gardner in the act Of making second
blow at Mr. Wicklffe, and prevented his design
The knife was Immediately taken possession OF
by Lieut.. b. g. Gardner placed in confinement.
Remedies were Immediately applied to Mr.
Wickffe's wound, and on his arrival at this
city he was attended by Professor Smith, who
we are happy TO learn, entertans the opinion
chat the wound is not dangerous
Immediately on the arrival of the boat, Gard
ner was committed to jail-Bahimore American

The AMERICAN FLAG IN CHINA.--A writer
in the Boston Courier, who takes the signature
of Choong Kwoh, says when the thirteen
stars and stripes first appeared at Canton, much
curiosity was excited among the people. News
was circulated that strange ship had arrived
from the farther end of the world, bearing flag
"as beautiful as flower" Every body went
to see the k,ca kee chlen or Flower flag ship"
This name at once established itself in the lam
guagc, and America is now called kca t,oe k,coh
the = flower flag country"--and an American,
k,ca kee kroh gin, the flower flag countrymen''
"a more complimentary designation than that
of cred headed barbarian" the name bestowed
upon the Dutch.

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.-The Tram going
West, which met so serious an accident near
Schenectady on Friday last, encountered
farther mshaps before it reached Buffalo,
In passing the village of Seneca Falls, the
train came in contact with wagon driven
by three little boys. The wagon, with its
occupants, was caught upon the 'cow catch
err and carried some twenty or thirty rods
The Wagon was broken into fragments, and
the horses were killed, but the boys fortu-
nately escaped with a few bruises. The
boys had been waiting to see the train 90 by,
and, on its approach the horses became un-
manageable and ran upon the track just as
the locomotive came along Eve. Jour-

FIRE IN BRooKLyN.-This morning at hall

and stables on the place at Gowanus, formerly
belonging to the late John c. Freeke, Esq. and
adjoining what is called Freeke's mill pond II

Enlistment. Eight cows, pair of cattle, and
one horse were burnt, together with several
carts, hay. &c. The loss falls very heavily on
an Industrious milk-man, who was, most prob
ably, not insured. 1t is conjectured that the
fire might have been communicated by some
one of the numerous riotous persons who every
night resort to the ml-pond for bathing, and
whose noise were heard last night near the spot

feeble as to render it necessary that he should
discontinue his preaching, yet this early termi.
