CURIOUS Discovery. In digging on
Tuesday among the foundations Of Grace
Church, at the corner of Broadway and Rec
tor street, which has recently been pulled
down, coffin apparently Of silver, was dis
covered about 12 ftin length, containing the
body of female child with an inscription
bearing date 1861 The coffin had glass
over the face and little farther down was
an aperture closed by glass stopper, which
being opened it appeared that the coffin was
filled with spirits of turpentine, in which
the body was preserved, SO that the features,
thong somewhat collapsed, were seen thro
the glass. The whole was enclosed in strong
deal outer cotlin-NeW York ECening

A Boy CARRIED OVER N1AGARA'FALLs.
A melancholy accident occurred at Niagara
Falls on Sunday last. A fine lad of the name
of John Murphy, aged about 3 years, in the
employ Of Judge Porter, in crossing to Chip
pewa in a canoe, was drawn into the Great
Horse Shoe Fall. When he was first discov-
cred, he was beyond the reach of all earthly
assistance; and although the little fellow did
all that his courage and strength could do,
holding his slight canoe for nearly twenty
minutes almost stationary, and when tired ma
ture gave up contendng longer with the wind
and current, both against him. the little fellow
plunged overheard, and with the courage and
perseverance of man for some time breasted
the current. But, alas too late though
within one hundred yards of the shore, he
was in the embrace of the rushing cataract,
which never releases its victims.
The broken fragments of the frail bark
were all that were found of the little mariner.
A widowed mother and three children mourn
the loss Of son and brother, and many stran-
gers lament the fate of noble and excellent

SLAVERY AND MURDER. Some time
since we published an account Of an aggrava-
ted case of murder in Charlestown, S. c.
The victim was slave woman, and the MUIR
derer was Mrs. Eliza Rowand, a woman of
"a highly respectable family" Her slave,
Richard, who inflicted the blows at the COM
mand of his MISTRESS (probably fearing the
same fate ifhe did not obey)w was acquitted on
the ground that the slave must obey the mas
ter. Mrs. RowanI has recently been carried
through the solemn farce of trial-with
shareholders for her iudges-and the result
is, that though there is no doubt of her guilt,
so far as circumstances could prove it, (negro
testimony was excluded from the court, or
positive proof would have been givcn)-that
she was allowed to eXculpate herself by her
own oath; fine arrangement for criminals.
That is the slaves protection, is it? Yet
hear with what impudence the Charlestown
Courier talks of South Carolina justice.

FIRE AT THE BAPTIST Mission in BUR-
NAH. On the night of the 18th of February,
the house of Rev. Mr.. Stevens, Baptist Mis-
sionary at Maulmain, was consumed by fire,
with all its contents, except barely few bed
clothes under which the family was sleeping.
Mr.. S. is thus stripped Of every article Of
clothing and housekeeping apparatus and
what is still greater loss, sundry manuscripts
prepared for the press, and which have been
the labor Of years. Mr. Brayton was then a
visitor of Mr.. S. preparatory to sailing for
America and lost his whole outfit for the voy-
age. Mr.. Billiard, who had few days pre-
vious, gone to the jungles, had deposited his
silver and most valuable clothing with Mr.. S.
all lost, DR.. Judson had left with him, on
removing to Rangoon, two boxes of valuables
--pecuniary value not known. In addition
to these, the mission library, the records Of
the Burman church, and the communion SER
vice all gone The English community at
Naulmain had promptly made up the loss, in
part, to Mr.. S. The fire, beyond all doubt, it
is said, was the work of an incendiary.

A Coon ONE-One Mr.. Patrick F. was
annoyed exceedingly by a strange dog-as
Coleridge says-a harmless dog-who
invaded his domicil, made distractions from
his cellar, and was very much in the way
of Mrs. Patrick F., in the kitchen. On 4
cold winter night, the wind cutting like q
knife, and snow frozen so as to burn like
carbonic acid gas frozen, after the dog had
been turned out of doors no less than three
times, and the last time requestedto go to o
warmer place, uncomfortable, f. was o.
Weakened out ola warm and comfortable
sleep by the noise of rather an expensive
fracture of glass. The dog was in the
house again. Patrick waited upon him
out, and both were absent some fifteen
minutes. So that Mrs. Patrick T. becon1-
ing surprised, if not alarmed at such q
prolonged absence, arose also and went to
the window. ae. ..--.
From her point of observation, she saw
in the clear moonlight, her lord standing ir
natarabiHs, barring his under garment, a
the northeast corner ofthe house. The
dog seemed to be sustained on his "las
legs" his fore legs forming two sides of al
acute triangle. ,- ..a.. .s
"What are you doing there, Patrick 2"
There was such a chattering of teeth
that the answer for some time was some
