Fatal Accident at .A,ansas Bay.-A
letter has been received by gentleman
Of this city, from friend at Corpus
Christi, (Texas) dated August 9th,
which gives the following details Of a
sad accident on board steamer in the
bay -
"Quite an accident took place on
board the steamer Augusta, employed as
a ghter over the bar at this place. II
being very rough where she was lying
along side the brig Ontario, her loretop-
mast caught in the rigging Of the brig,
and came down on deck, striking a
young officer on the head, breaking his
skull in a most shocking manner, and
causing his death in three hours. His
name is Merrick, a lieutenant, having
graduated from West Point but two
months since. 1t must cause deep af-
fiiction to his parents residing in Ohio.
He was much beloved and respected by
his brother officers, and the loss is Sc
verely felt in :he company. His funer-
al will take place this afternoon"

FRAUD ON THE PooR.-lt is said that
\ great part Of the barrels Of Flour, sold
in Massachusetts, are deficient IN weight.
Some Of them fall short twenty pounds,
or more. A gentleman, apparently well
Informed in the matter, has calculated d
from facts that have come TO his knowl-
edge, that a certain Touring establish
ment saves at least So 600 year in this
way. Many others, there is reason to
believe, save in equal proportion. The
loss falls principally on the consumer
Those who buy large quantities, on spec
ula,ion, very naturally ascertain the
weight and, if deficient insist on cor
responding reduction in the price. But
the poor man, who buys single barrel
for his own consumption, as naturally
takes it without suspicion, AS Of full
weight.
II may be well for all, who use -four
10 stand for their rights. When they
pay the price Of barrel of -four, they
have right to l96 pounds Of -four, and
the barrel besides, which will weigh
nearly or quite twenty pounds.

Distressing .Accidem.-A Mason, of
The firm OF A. Mason s. Son, manufac-
turers Of shoe-naiIs and brads, was killed
almost instantly, yesterday morning a,
the Steam Machine Shop Of Howe &
Goddard in this town, at which place he
carried on his business. We understand
he had packing room partitIoned off, in
one of the stories of that large establish
ment, SD that it left a space overhead Of
about four feet, between the ceiling Of
the packing room and that OF the princi-
pal room, which space-way he used for q
kind of s,ore-room. The main shaft run
through this place. lie had occasion to
go there, yesterday morning, and in
passing under, or near The shaft, his coat
caught and wound up, so as to draw him,
head first between the shaft and ceiling
with bis back downward, against the
shaft. When drawn SO far as to be
wedged in very tight, the clothes slipped
upon the shaft, and he was left in that
position I'LL the belt could be cast oil, in'
another story Of the building. IL was.
with difficulty that he was extricntcd,
and he breaihed but two or three times
after he was released.

that case is without our jurisdiction
until it is shown 10 be within it,"
The learned Judge defined the crime
of treason, and showed that under a
Government resting upon the will Of the
people and subject to amendment by
the people, now rarely there could be
any cause to complain, on the part of
the citizen, and how severely and strictly
all resistance TO the law should be pun
ished.
He cautioned the jury against any
temporising with their duties, and in
the close Of his charge, dwelt with niue h
eloquence and power upon the necessity
Of firm and unlaltering administl alton
Of the law
Judge Woodbury's manner well be-
comes the high office which he holds,
and If The sentiments of his charge TO
the Grand jury are TO govern his deci-
sions upon the bench (and we see no
reason to fear that they will not) he
will add strength and influence to that
great conservative department of the
government-the National Judiciary.
We could not help thinking, that
some Of the soverinnity would be in
clined to think the learned Judge more
than half an AIgerine.
The docket was called and several
cases set down for trial.
Gen. Carpenter moved for contin-
uance Of the cases against individuals
for alleged offences committed under
martial law.
The cases were passed for the present
the motion to be heard at q future

A SUIT GA'SEO.-,lloa. Hugh s.
Legare, OF S. Carolina, who died in
Boston some three or four years since,
was considered one of the mos, able ad-
vocates of the time. In the American
Review for October appears an interest
ing biographical sketch Of this states
man, from which we extract the follow
ing anecdote
1t was the case of PeH and HiEe ver-
sus the Executors Of Ball. The cucum-
stances of the case were these "A
Miss Charming, daughter of Mr.. Wal
ter Channmg "a merchant Of Boston,
had married Mr.. Ball Of S. Carolina,
and carried him large fortune without
any settlement. MI. Ball, by his last
will and testament, bequeathed to his
wife all of his fortune. Embarking al
Charleston, for a visit to the north, on
board the ill-fated steamboat Pulaski,
which blew up at sea on the coast Of
North Carolina in 1889, they both per-
Ished in that awful catastrophe. The
question in the case was, which survix-
ed the other T? lCi was Mrs. Ball, then,
the legacy vested in her, and was trans
missable TO her sisters ) if her husband,
then the legacy had lapsed, fell into tho
residue OF the estate and went 10 his
family.
Mr.. Legare was engaged on behalf
OF Mrs. Balls sisters. On tae one side,
It was contended that the husband being
the stronger, must have survived aud
the doctrines Of Civil Law on the sub
Ject OF survivorship were relied on -
Here, however, Legare, was a master,
and showed that all these presumtiions
must yield 10 positive testimony. After
the catastrophe Mrs. Ball was seen fly
ing wildly about the wreck, her voice
heard above others calling for her hus
band. Awaiting himself Of this single,
bu! affecting .act--all that in The wild
terror Of such a scene could be known
Legare converted IT by The magic pow
ers OF his eloquence, into an irresistible
proof that the tender husband, whose
name the wife shrleked forth so distract
edly must have already perished. Upon
the narrow theatre Of that shattered
deck, was enacted, he said. n scene, to
paint which ull that the imagination of
poetry could invent Of the most pathetic

upon whom she had never called ~ vain
upon whose arm she had ever leaned

The OFFICIAL PAPER, AND THE OaE-
CON QUESTION. The reader has been
made acquainted says the Boston Adver-
tiser, with the opinions which have been
repeatedly expressed, in the most posi-
tive tone, by the Washington Union,
in regard to the policy Of the govern
ment in relation to the Oregon contro-
versy. II Is a question of great mo-
ment, how far those publications afford
an indication Of the sentiments of the
administration on this subject, anG the
course of action which has been decided
upon. The correspondent Of the New
York Courier s. Enquirer at Washing
ton, expresses tho following opinion on
this question.
| perceive that the article publshed d
in "lhe organ" Of Thursday ni2h ht last
commencing The Whole Of Oregon
or .None," is pretty generally regarded
as Ioreshadowing Of the message OF
the Executive 10 Congress, and there
upon sundry speculations have been built.
have good reason Tor believing that
that article was not n loreshadowing oi

Executive, did. not meet his approval
but did meet his dIsapproval and
that in fact is an emanation of the or
ganists, n ruse by which he thinks to
concentrate the western votes upon him
sell Tor the public printing, and so that
he carries his own ends he cares little
for the administration. Bear this state
ment in mind, and see if it be not borne
out by the message. There is little
doubt but that the message will be firm
on the Oregon question, but it wont go
the length to which tho organist has
thus compromised It.
