Almost Burisl.-A Mr.. Short lately
slipped from wagon, and it was supposed
died soon afterwards; but while preparations
were making for his interment, and the corpse
placed in the coffin, the doctor discovered
that the glass in the coffin lid was somewhat
covered with vapor, took his handkerchief
for the purpose of removing it; but finding
that it proceeded from the inside of the glass
he at once pronounced the man alive, and he
was taken from his marrow house, and is
now as we'll as ever he was in his life.

A House and -Four Children SAVED 6y a
D0g-Mr. Scion E. BetteS of Sandisfield, be-
ing about to 60 out for an evening visit on
New Years night, directed his eldest bow,
lad of some ten years of age, to put wood
into the stove and have good fire when he
and the other children went to bed, and to
put the kindlings ready for the morning fire.
The boy did so, but put the kindlings under,
the baker, So that the fire communicated to
them from the stove. When the fire COM
all gone to bed, in the chamber, but there was
faithful Waterman left below. Mr.. B. had
an intelligent spaniel, which, seeing the fire
communicate to the wood and from that to the
floor, mounted up stairs to give the alarm,
but finding he could not make the boys un-
derstand him he laid him down ON one of
their beds for few minutes. As if aware
of the increasing danger, he soon returned to
the fire, however, then to the chamber and
then to the fire again, and on his third visit
to the chamber he succeeded by his barking
and bowling in awaking the boys, all uf
whom had fallen asleep in the mean time
The smoke soon convinced them that the
house was on fire, and when they entered the
room below where the fire was spreading.
they found the faithful sentinel at his duty,
striving to arrest the progress of the flames
with all his energies, and scattering the
burning brands with his teeth and paws in
every direction about the floor, thinking, no
doubt, that if he could not procure water this
was the last resort to save the house. 1t
seemed that he had been doing the same be-
fore he succeeded in arousing the boys
The fire burnt a large hole through the floor
before the boys succeeded in extinguishing
it.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Returned from The Vars We saw yesterday
afternoon, Sergeant Jos. Paris, who belonged
TO company c., Of the Sd Artillery,-the la.
men,ed Ringgold's and RdgIey's company
and who was wounded at the battle of Palo
Alto on the Sth Of May. Sergeant Paris has
been in the u S. service about twelve wears,
and was with his company at Fort McHenry
for long period, and is known to numbers Of
our citizens. He received 4 slight wound on
the side Of the head, and very severe wound
fom rifle ball, back of his shoulders, iniurlng
him so much that he has lost all use ofhis
hands. He was in the hospital at Matamoras
a long time and was reported dead, but has re-
covered, and will remain cripple for the re-
mandor of his days. He is Polander by nth,
has seen service in the wars of the Continent,
and bears his sffilctions with the spirit of an
old soldier. He speaks in glowing language
of the conduct Of his late commanders, Ring
gold and Rdgey and in fact of all who were
in the engagement. We understand that he
is on his way 10 the seat of Gen. Charles S.
Rdgley, at Elk Ridge, and will return to Bal
timore shortly, where we need scarcely pledge
him a soldiers welcome, and the liberality of
our citizens, for he is a representative OF gall
liant people, and has freely and nobly shed his
blood for his adopted country.

ed from what we had heard, TO have the mel
ancholy duty TO perform, of chroniceng an
affair of honor" but thanks to ''discretion,"
that ''better part Of valor," no "cut and thrust
pistols" or "har.trigger swords" were called
into requlstion. Two young bloods Of our city
having fallen in love Chat quagmire to male
bipeds,) with pretty girl, rivalry ran high,
and in order to settle their respective preten-
SONS, one challenged the other to mortal COM
bat, and pistols were selected. On Wednesday
afternoon the parties repaired to the city sub
urbs to "make targets of each others person"
but instead Of using their shooting irons, like
sensible men, they went at it in regular trough
and tumble and no gouging" encounter, when
the challenger got good drubbing from the
challenged, and so settled the right Of posses

furnished with q unique specimen of the chal-
lenger's-the licked's-composition addressed
in despair to the lady IN question, which as a
model for all unfortunate SWANS, we would
copy but for its length. In it he tells her of
his undying love, and how in his despair he has
shipped Gor tho U. S. ship Ohio, for three years,
to serve his country in Mexico, and concludes
with most touching poetry, in which the fair
ones merits and beauty are most eoquently de-
scrbed. If all discarded lovers were to seek
the same mode to heal their wounded hearts %
we don't think "Uncle Sans" vessels would
fipd 50 much difficulty in obtaining their crews.

FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. II, ls45.

Car FOR ISFonMArroN. We anticipated
chat tho procamation Of Gen. koarneY and
Can't. Stockton, would attract early attention
N Csngress. and that n call would be made
ppon the President for information, in regard
to the proceedings Of these military and naval
commanders Accordingly Mr.. Davis, Of Ky,
has offered q resolution in the House Of Repre-
sentatives on Tuesday last, in the following
words:
"Resolued, That the President communicate
TO this House any and all orders or Instructions
TO General Taylor, General Wool, General
Kearney, Captain Sloat, Capt. Stockton, or any
other officer of the government, in rslat ION TO
the establishment or organization OF ciVi go
yernment in any portion OF the territory OF
Mexico, which has been, or might be taken
possession of by the army or navy OF tho Unlted
States; alss what form ofgOVernment such ON.
GERS. or either of thom, may have established
and organized. and whether the President has
approved and recognised said government.
This resolution underwent considerable dis
cussion on Wednesday, after an amendment
had been offered, restricting the enquiry to in
formation not incompatible with the public in
terests to be disclosed We cannot see any
objection to the passage Of the resolution. 1t
concerns matter of deep interest to the pub
lie, and the whole facts should be disclosed
The President, in his message, says, that these
commanders have established Temporary go
yernments-but in their proclamations they
have gone farther, and declared provinces Of
which they are governors, to be annexed to the
United States We concede to them the pow
or to organize Temporary governments, and this
is all the President says they have done. But
they say that they have done more, and it is
right that Congress should know which state
ment is correct. We do not believe that they
have acted by authority of the President in I'M
dcrtakng to annex territory to our country in
palpable violation of the Constitution-be-
cause, had the President given such authority,
it would have been his duty to have SO stated
in his message. The subject should be freely
investigated; without, however, asking the Pre-
sident to communicate matters, the disclosure
of which might be preiudicial TO the public
interests
