4 Coon SssMoS. w have heard Il story
Of The elder DIR. Bocchcr, now of Cincinnati
that IL is said to be- true. and is worth putting
into type, rs Illustrating the truth that we new
or can tell what mJv result from an apparently
very significant action. The doctor once en-
gagged to preach for a country minister, on eX-
cl1nge, and the Sabbath proved to be one cy-
ccssively stormy, cold and uncomfortable. Ii
WIS IN mld-wm,cr, and the snow was piled in
heaps all along the roads, 50 as to make the
passage very difficult. Still the minister urged
his hors3 through the drifts, Till he reached the
church, put the animIl into shed and went
IN. As yet ther, was no person IN the house,
anl after looking about, the old gentleman

the door opened, and 4 single individual walk

The hour came for com,n 5nclng service, but no

COSTLY GooDs BuRNT.-The fire at Beck $
store, in New York, on Wednesday, was very
destructive. The goods consumed were all
of the most valuable character, consisting Of
Camel hair shawls, many ofthem worth $1,000;
embroidcd lace dresses, worth from 800 to
$1,000. Canton Grape shawls, mantllas, sat

for display rs the store was then for the first
time opened that the flames, almost in an
instant, swept through them like gossamcr.

less than half an hour property to the amount
of nearly $4,000 was swept away. The

already been effected to the amount of $780,

DEATH FROM Foolish WAGER.-Robert
Rogers, private of the lst Royals, who was
drinking at the Bowling-grcen public-housc,
Warrington, undertook, for a wager of five
shiings, to thrust stick two feet down his
throat lie took a thin, smooth stick and had
got it down to the length of eighteen inches,
when he turned deadly pale and faint. The
company became alarmed, and at their earnest
desire, he desisted from the further prosecution
of the foolish trick. lie then pulled the stick
out of his throat, and Immediately vomited
blood. A glass of ale was then given to him,
which he drank, and then fell down, appear

by pains at the stomach. Surgical assistance

"FooD ron Worms. A writer in the
Christian lntelligencer, lrieAy but with con-
siderable force, comments upon the prevalent
opinion that after death the human body be-
comes a prey 10 worms. He qnotes from the
editor of a work entitled the /" Medical, chrur-
gical and anatomical cases and experiments,
communicated by DIR. iIaler and other physi-
clans TO the Royal Academy of Stockholm,
translated from the Swedish originals" as
follows:
Indeed, the f,ncy that death delivers up
our bodies as TODD 10 worms, has given rise 10
many pious thoughts and edifying descriptions.
] have been at the pains of making a collection
of such narratives, where the only misfortune
is that they are not true. have discourscd
with many people who have been IN graves
where the corpses have been long kept, or who
have gone down into them when coffins have
been dug up, and | myself have made use Of
these last occasions but never could hear
word about worms, or ever saw any but |
have seen a human figure, which, upon being
touched, fell to dust. Whence should worms
proceed in place where no seeds of them
could be laid, unless that in particular cases a
dying person carries the seed of the worm with
him into the grave possibly from the mag
gots seen to swarm in bodies which have lain
putreiying in the open air, il has been taken
for gran ed that such WIS tn condition also of
the body in the grave. But the anccns, who
looked upon the m1ggots to be originated from
this corruption, did not know that they are the
offspring Of flies, and will by degrees attain to
likeness with their parents. They who
watch corpses are very careful 10 keep of the
flies from them; and the only benefit of this
attention (for TO beclrefu about the beauty of
Il corpse appears TO me to be ridiculous TO the
highest degree) is 10 prevent these corpses
from becoming the food of worms, and thus
confute the common imagination of the destiny
Of our bodies"
The writer then says that the idea is at va
rance with the direct declaration " dust thou
art and unto dua shall oureiura," and that,
80 far as il relates TO theeXpression in Job-''l
know that my Rcdcemer lWcth, and that he

THE ScoTT AND WoRTH CoRREsPoNDENcE
The New Orleans Delta has recently pub
lshed, in Supplementary sheet, the cores
pondence of Generals Scott and Worth, rela-
tive to the late difficulties in the army, subse-
quent to the publication of the Army Orders
ccnsuring severely certain letters written to the
United States. The following is brief notice
of the correspondence:
Gen. Worth addressed letter to Gen.
Scott, stating that he learned with astonish-
ment that il was the opinion of the Army that
the imputaton of scandalOus conduct, mention
ed in the general Order, referred to him, and
asking if that was the intention of the Com
mander-in-Chief.
General Scott replied, that the Order clear
ly expressed that he meant to apply the impu-
taton TO the author of the letter signed :" Le-
Onidas."
Gen. Worth rcjoincd, and said he did not
consider the answer satisfactory. Gen. Scott
replied that he could not be more explicit. lie
ha I! nothing to do with the suspicious of 9TH
ers. and if he had valid information of the au-
thorship. ne would prosecute the parties before
a Court Marital
Gen Worth replied, that he supposed the
repmlad him as not deserving d
answer, md feeling himself ag
grieved, he should appGa! to the President
lie concluded by accusing Scott of acting in a
manner unbecOming an officer and gentle
man.

goods dealer who attended the auction sales at
New York, ofseveral thousand pieces Of broad

FRoM' oM'ArRIcA-CAPTuRE OF SLAVES. -Ih'
American Colonization Socety's bark, Liter
ia Packet, arrived at Baltimore in forty days
from the Capcs, on Thursday. The Baltimore
Sun learns the following in regard to the cap
ture of Slaves:
AT Sierra Leone it was stated that within the
week previous two brigs, under Brazilian coors,
were made prizes to the English Government,
one having ON board 800 slaves and the other
$50. Neither of these vessels were over $50
tons. The slaves were landed and prcpara-
tions being made to cut the vessels up.
The schooner Henry Clay, formerly the
pilot boat of the same name, of Baltimore, was
closely pursued by English mcn-of-war, IN
two different occasions, and fired into; but she
finally made her escape, with cargo of slaves.
This is her second voyage to the coast.
The English and French cruisers are very
active in chasing and capturing slavers.
The U. 5. shp-of-war jamestown, Com.
Bolton, sailed from Monovia, Nov. 30, for
Princess Island. Officers and crew all well.

the Presidency by the Democratic State Con-
venion of Pennsylvania.
