REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE on the
trial of Salamander Sales, at Vauxhall Gar
den:
The undersigned attended trial by fire of
three iron safes, known as Gayler S, Rich's
and Wilder $ (or Herring s. Salamander Safes,
on the morning of the 10th January, 1876.
The safes were placed in furnace con
structed of brick, about five feet high, and in
the same relative position. Each safe was ex-
ahmed, and believed to be in perfect order
number OF account books were put in the
book case, and several papers in the drawers of
each safe, and the doors locked and the fuel,
consisting of charcoal, pine and oak wood and
ros'n, was applied, ignited, and renewed twice
during the day.
The fire very intense, and was suffered
to remain burning until the following morn
ing, when the safes removed, Gayler's
safe was found to be in such order to be un-
locked, when the book case and contents were
found to be in good state of preservation
The contents of the other safes were mass
of burning charcoal.
We consider the trial to have been conduct
ed with perfect fairness. For further particu-
lars, reference is made to our individual state

From the National IntelIigcncer.


u5'An attentive audience, who listened on
Monday, February LIST, to the speech of Mr.
WEBSTER, before the Supreme Court, could
not hear, without thrill of emotion, that this
man of cloQuencc AID power was thrice on the
verge Of n watcry grave having been on the
point of embarkution in the Lexington, which
was lost January II, lsI0; in the swallow, A.
pril ., lS45; and in the Atlantic, November 25,
1916
1t is touching and remarkable fact that the
Bell of the last named i'll fatcd steamer, sup.
ported by some portions of the wreck and the
contiguous rock, still continues to toll, swept
by heavy surgcs, the requiem of the dead.
Toll, toll. toll,
Thou Bell by pillows swunr,
And night and day thy warning words,
Repeat with mourniul tongue!
Toll for the qucenly boat,
Wreck d on yon rocky shore,
Sea weed is i'll her palace halls,
She rides the surge no more!
Toll for the Master bold,
The high soul and the brave,
who rul d her like thing Of life
Amid the crested wave!
Toll for the hardy crew,
Sons of the storm and blast.
Who long the tyrant Ocean dard
But it vOnquished them at last!
Toll for the Man Of God,
Whose hallowcd voice ofpraycr
Rose calm above the stiHcd gronn
Ofthat intense despair!
How precious were those tones
On that sad verge oflifr,
Amid the fierce and freezing storm,
A nd the maintain bill,ms' triG
Toni for the lover lost
To the summon d bridal train!
Bright glOws picture on his breast,
Beneath the uniathom' d main
One from her easement ruzcth
Long ser the misty sea;
lie cometh not, pale maiden,
His heart is cold to thee!
Toll for the absent sire
Who to his home drew near,
To bless glad expecting group,
Fond wife and children dear!
They heap the blazing hearth,
The tcstal board is spread,
But fearful guest is at the gate:
Room for the sheetcd dead!
Toll for the lov'd and fair,
The whcm'd beneath the tide,
The broken harps around whose strings
The dull sea monsters glide!
Mother and nursing sweet,
Reft from the household throng,
There's bitter weeping in the nest,
Where breath d their soul of song.
Toll for the hearts that bleed
Meath misery's furrowng trace!
Toll for the hapless orphan left,
The last ofnll his race
Yea, with thy heaviest kncll
Flom surge to rocky shore,
Toll for the living. not the dro1
Whose mortal woes are DER!
Toll, toll, TOLL
Ger breeze and billow free,
And with thy startling lore instruct
Each rover of the sea!
Tell how DER proudest joys
May swift destruction sweep,
And bid him build his hopes on high,
Lone Teacher of the deep!

TnE VALUE OF COMMON SCHooLs.--'
In the course OF his remarks before the
Georgetown, I'd. C.,) School. recently,
the Rev. Thomas SewalI, (tormerly of
Baltimore J made some most stirring ap-
peaIs iu favor Of the Common School
system and sci forth their claims upon
the public IN such manner, as to enlist
the earnest sympathies of all who heard
him. Among other remarks illustrative
Of their advantage, and as giving an in
cenliye to the boys for future efforts, he
mentioned a circumstance which we have
not before heard stated, and of which we
will here repeat the general tenor in our
own words. A young physician he said,
had, some thirty years ago, taken up his
abode in small village Of Massachusetts,
and for convenience to his practice, took
board with family of plain farmer
who had number Of children they
were all smart boys.
Among them was one with whom he
was particularly struck, by the marks Of
early genius that he eyinced, and there
fore took much pleasure i'll giving in
structions during hIs leisure hours and in
endcavorlng to deVelope those faculties
which he believed the youth to possess.
Afterwards he prevailed upon theparcnts
to send him to an Academy near. The
marks of talents that he evinced, induced
the parents to consent to the solicitation
of the physician to send him to College,
whore he miuht have further onnortuni-
ties for improvement. The boy soon
made an admirable progress he left Col
lege, and afterwards studied law, and had
been since working his way upward UNI
til finally he reached the United States
Senate, and could now measure intel
lects with the strongest i'll the land, while
the nation would be glad to be the willing
auditor when he spoke, aud to hang, with
enchanted ear, upon the glowing periods
of his impressive cloquence. That man
owed much of his attanments and posi-
ton to the facility afforded him Of OBJ
tanning an education, and was now able
in turn, to reflect honor upon his coun-
try, and to assist to build up and sustain
! the institutions to which he owed his sue
cess in life.
/ The physician (the late DIR. SewalI OF
Washington alluded to, was the father
ofthe person who addressed the audience,
and the intelligent lad of the Academy
alluded to, was no other than the Hon.

tell you, that not only were streams OF the
liquid coursIng down his face, but that hls
