DIsTREssING OCCURRENCE. On the morn
ing of the 18th ult., lad about 9 years of
age and son Of Mr. Alex. Fraser, of Prescott,
opposite Ogdensburgh, N. Y, took his skates
and went on the ice, OH the st. Lawrence
After the little fellow had been cutting his
gambols short time on the firm ice, he aP-
peaIed to be attracted by the new ice that had
taken place the previous night; he ventured on
it, and the farther he extended his circles out
the greater the danger, until he broke in. His
mother, who had seen the whole scene from
the window of her house, seized plank and
ran haif-dstracted to his assistance; she APP
preached within few rods, but self-preserva-
ton forbade her going any farther, when TIE
little sufferer cried out, "Mother, dear mother,
run quickly for help;" she did SO, but before a
boat could be got, the afflicted mother was
doomed to see her suffering child sink to rise
no more.

THE RICHMOND WING.

RIcuARD II. ToLER, Esq, for many years
past the Editor Of the 'ISScHBuRG VRGIs-
IAN" has now taken the chief Editorial charge
of the "RIoHMoND Wing" We now regard
Mr.. Toler as justly entitled to the position Of
the Father Of the Wing Press in Virginia, and
we have no doubt that under his management
and control the "Whig" viii still continue TO
BE- one of the most able and effcentchampion
Of the Wing cause in the Union. We have
no personal acquaintance with MIR. Toler-
but we feel as though we knew him WE'LL
Since we have occupied the Editorial Chair,
we have had communication with him through
an Exchange with the "Virginian," and we
sincerely pay our humble homage to the vigor
ofhis intellect--the prudence and frmness Of
his character, and the sterling Whiggery of
his principles. We congratulate the Proprle-
tors of the "Syhig" on obtaining his valuable
services-we congratulate the Wings of Viz
gina that he is at the helm.
Well, we feel sadness tom pouring over
the "Whig' to find cur friend, OLIVER P.
Baldwin, Esq, who has for the past few
months occupied its Editorial Chair with so
much ability and distinction, is gone. But
the "Winchester Republican" encourages the
hope---that he will at no distant day be added
to the Editorial force Of the Wing" We
hope so--his talents are Of the first order
they should not be cramped.

The Bill of Rights of Virginia was adopted
on the 10Th Of June l776-The Constitution
or form of Government on the 18th Of June Of
the same year.
This DEcLARArloN OF RIoHTs is perhaps
the noblest exposition Of de principles Of Pop
ular Government 10 be found upon record.
The same tribute of admiration cannot be
paid to the CONSTITUTION which was adopted
few days afterwarls-Ihe reason for the
wide difference between the foundation laid,
and the superstrucrure reared upon that foun-
dation is easily explained That Constitution
was framed at period Of profound difficulty
and danger. We Were then in the midst OF a
war ior orr National independence. Many
things highly Objectionable in themselves, had
to be left, as they were then found. II was
adopted as an expedient for existing circuin-
stances to serve the purposes Of the time ana
hot locked upon as an lnsIumentwhieh would
meet the wants and bear the test OF experience
for future ages.
From the year 1890 scarcely one SESSION OF
the General Assembly passed, IN which Pc
ttions were not received, for reform OF abu-
I ses in the representation and in the law Of sut-
trage. From the Counties Of Patrick and Hen

petitions were as regularly looked for, as the

THE WILLIAM 7. ROMER.

The Editors of the N. Y. Tribune will
please accept our thanks for the extra" con-
tanning the news by the pilot boat WILLIAM J.
RoMER-" whose passage across the Ocean
has been the subject of so much mystery >
The news which she brings does not vary that
material degree. The tone of the English
press upon the refusal Of our Government to
arbiIate the "Oregon question" is very angry
but we see nothing very alarming-this is
not the first time the London Times" has
scolded our Republican impudence." Par
lament has done nothing on the question yet.
Cotton, Wheat and Flour, have all improved
in price.

AMERICAN SPIRrr-.4 small .Mstake-It
will be in the recollection of ourreaders thatwe
announced or SATURDAY. the arrival in Cove Of
United States pilot schooner, 81 tons, direct
from New York, having on board a gentleman
supposed to be the bearer of official despatch
Ies-who at once proceeded to London. On
her arrival in Cove Harbor, with the Amer-
can flag flying at the mast head, Lieutenant
of ii. NJ. s. Vanguard was despatched by or
der, as we understand, of the Admiral, 10 re
quire that the flag should at once be taken
down.
The Captain Of the W. Romer received
the British officer with much courtesy, asked
him down to the cabin-and having beenmade
acquainted with the object Of his visit, the A
merican's reply was characteristic-"So long
as have an arm to pull a trigger, no man
shall dare touch that flag This prompt re
ply puzzled the "Brtisher" not a little he
returned to his ship for further orders-and, in
short time, came back to the American officer
with an ample apology, TO the effect that see
ing the vessel so small, his commander did not
think she was an American vessel, and that
the flag of that nation had been used without
authority. So the matter ended.

Oregon question, and will proceed to act on
the several propositions before that body in re-

bill for extending protection over the citizens

1t was no novel opinion with him. He had
asserted it as long ago as the treaty with regard
to Spain and Florida. He had with his own
hand drawn the line from 42o to the extent of
the Russian possessions. He SAID this not
boastingly but as matter Of fact, that the line
from 42o was drawn by him and agreed to by
Spain'

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Well the Wings are used up this time. The
Wing Legislature last winter, passed Law
imposing some pretty severe structures on the
License System, whereupon the question of
Temperance became mingled in the contest,
and the Locos took advantage of the split and
have run in their men. However, all will be
right next springs sober second thought
will restore the Wings TO Power.
