The Man in The Boiler One day last week one of
the steamboats, on the Allegheny trade was lying at
the wharf tor some repairs gentleman mot belong
ing to the boat, was walking on deck, when sud-
denly his attention arrested by the most dread
full shrieks. They seemed to come from some per-
son in the very agonies Of DEATH and were SO faint
that they betokened him to be his last gasp "John!
John for Gods sake put out that fire! oh, John!
put 1t out, for Gods sake PUT it out % Greatly
alarmed, our informant hurried down to see and res.
cue the sufferer, who seemed 10 be boiling to death.
He could see nothing; yet the awful and faint

for Gods sake put it out !" Running around, he
finally discovered the distressed individual and the
cause Of his torment. He had gone into one of the
boilers for the purpose ofcleaning il out, and find.
ing the cold rather unpleant. got {" John" to make
some fire in the furnace. "John" kindled rather
too much and as clearer had got far into the
narrow boiler, it soon became very hot There
he was, in imminent danger Of being burned alive:
aud hence his frightful cries. We need hardly say
that he was helped out in double quick time.

The Practical Effect Of Mr.. Polls Eleetion.--
The owners of an extensive water power, near this
city, where large factory was in process Of erec-
ton, have discontinued the work. There is no enA
couragement to 90 on with it under the admins.
tration Of James X. Polk, and if there was, il can
be finished much cheaper when the price Of labor
has been brought down to the hard money stand
ard. More than half the mechanics who are thrown
out OF employment by the discontinuance of this
work are Polkites. They reap the fruit of their
own sowing. Another large mill near this city has
been finished, and the machinery ordered but

This is what the fear Of free trade produces When
we have free trade itself, which has been held up
to the laboring classes their highest political
good we shall all see the full effects of the policy
the very apprehension Of which irightens the capi-
talst, and palsies the arm Of labor.-Frov. Jour.
Cause and Efect.-A gentleman in this city
who has large mandatory in the country, has
found it necessary to STOP large portion Of his
works, and to discharge about FIVE hundred hands
in doingso. He called them together, and inform
ed them that, in consequence Of the result Of the
election, he deemed it for bis interest to stop a
portion of his works, and TO discharge number Of
his men. As he said, many Of them had voted
for the Wing ticket, and many of them for the Loco
Coco ticket, he put it to them to say which Of
them ought toretain their posts, and which ought
to be discharged. A large majority decided that
the locos ought to go, and consequently they were
paid and dismisscd.-.N Y. Express.
Ho,c IL scos done.-A Loco friend gives US the
following instance Of the political honesty Of one
Of the leaders of the " Liberty" party. There
were twelve abOlitionists in one Of the country
towns who were Wing in sentiment. Fearing they
might upon reflection cast their vote for Wing can
d,dates, he visited each one and obtained pledge
ina: they would vote the Birney ticket. When the
day of election arrived they fulfilled their pledge
but he who had been SO active in exhorting his
friends to be consistent, voted the straight Locofo-
co ticket, and now boasts among his Loco friends
Of his success.--BuGaio Com. .adv
