fist and skull, aud adduees the bruised eyes

opinion is now beginning TO measure out the

on Sunday morning, 18th ul,, the building
situated at the Hydraulics, in that city and 90.
cupied as the Buffalo Wooden Mandatory, by
r. ID. Heacock, was totally destroyed by fire.
There were aboU, ten thousand yards of cloth
destroyed. The total loss is estimated at
twenty thousand dollars, with from six TO
eigh, thousand insured on the building and
machinery. Over twenty persons were daily
employed in the mandatory, who are thus
thrown out Of work, and large portion Of
the village will be more or less affected by its
destruction. Two watchmen were constantly
employed to guard agains. FIRE, IL is supposed

FIRE was communicated from his candle.

EiOrrid Murder!

Al Beetown, mining village 10 Grant coun-
ty. w. r., on the lst day Of April. about
o'clock in the afternoon occurred one OF the
bloodiest murders recorded in the annals Of
crime. Mr.. DeLsssaux, a French gentleman,
connected 10 business with one Of the wealth

engaged in the business Of smelling lead ore
for two years past 10 our midst, making liberal
oullays Of capital, and demeaning himself 10
all respects like gentleman as he was Is
butchered. II seems that DeLassaux was
owner, by purchase Of claim. to certain piece
of reserved mineral ground. From this ground,
upon which r. b. Brewer had permission from
De Lassaux to burn a lime kiln, the latter at
tempted with the aid Of his teamster, 10 re-
move some rails. Brewer forbade him bu.
De Lassaux persisling, Brewer ran off and
then returned with rife. approached within
three or four feet Of DeLassaux, discharged his
rife at him without effect--ihen turning the
rife, struck DeLassaux, knocking him down
with The breach, breaking his left shoulder
DeLassaux resisting only with cane which
he had 10 his hand. DeLassanx called TO his
teamser TO assist--tried TO get up-when
Brewer seized him by the back Of his head.
and gashed his back and shoulders mos. hor-
ribIy with bowie knife-severing the spine.
A wretch named VIM. Galloway, partner
with Brewer in the lime kiln, held DeLissaux' 8
ieams,er, and prevented his aiding DeLassauT
while Brewer was perpeiraiing this helIsh
murder.
The exci.emen. in the diggings against
Brewer and Galloway surpasses all descrip.

save them from informal execution. The two

The Wedge.-The wedge is mechanical
power whose force depends on the inclination
Of it's sides. If this angle be very great the
power of the wedge is greatly increased, but
il requires huge mau. and strong arm TO
work it, and vice versa. The old school
books-Dilworlh's and Daboll's Arithmetic,
Murray's Grammar, &C., were blunt wedges,
and the old fashioned pedagogues were COM
PEELED TO labor hard TO force them into the
Uranium of their pupils. Adams and Smith
have sharpened these wedges so much that
their entrance hardly opens the mind at ALL
The task still challenges the ingenuity of
scientific men to shape these sciences into
wedges of such size-neither too blunt nor
too sharp-as is exactly adapted to the caPa-
city of the young. M.
