SHOCKING DEATH.

The venerable widow of the late Mathew B. Whittlesey, Esq. came 10 sudden and shocking death, in DanbuIy, on the Sabbath 'evning before thes last, by burning. She had retired to her room. and had put on her night clothes, and it is supposed that she
 had been reading a newspaper, and that, while thus engaged, it came in contact With the flame of the lamp, that she threw the paper down and attempted to smother the blaze with her ioot, and that in the effof,
 her clothes took fire, and she was Instantly invsloped in flames These reached to tl,e ceiling at the time other members of the family reached her room Sue was dread- fully burned and lived but ten hours after the accident. The event caused great sensation in Dunbu,y, where the deceased was so generally known and highly respec- ted.-lN. H. Palladium. '"i '.T =. ii

His fudge McLean'sl consistency Is about Oa par with his ignorance, or his wilfulness. in saying that we have invaded. soil Sin possession of Mexico" It Is all we want 10 know of any man, who has had the means of informing himself. to hear him assert such palpable error. We should doubt either his judgment oE his veracitKr, -Register.
 The Register, haYipg advocated the elecs ton of Mir. Clay, and then deserted ahiS standard simply and solely because he was defeated, is just the paper to talk about " consistency" Its talk about the ,riLfulness and IGNORANCE of Judge Mclean, ''is about on a par" with the attempt ofa certain Irish refugee to show up WaShington's cowardice and want of patriotism The oracle of the New Haven democracy farther saith, Alive want 10 know of any man, is to hear hun assert such a palpahle error." Ay, not unlikely; and it is very possible that hereafter the editor may know deal more about this same John Mclean than he soonts 10 know Some persons are troubled wi,6 convehi sAsIy short memSti Perhaps the Register has torgoften thai one of the reasons urged by Silasa Wright against the annexation of Texas, was that the western boundary, as defined in Tyler's scheme, embraced "vast tract ofcountry' which NEVER belonged to Texas as Mex ican province, and !" which the reyolleEs never obtained by the right of conquest" :" Possibly, too, the Register does not" want to know," that Benton, Poinsett, Donelson, Butler, Gallatin, Calhoun, and other great lights of "Democracy," agree with Judge Mclean in fixing the Nueces as the west> ern boundary of Texas, which must neoes> sarily place the country between that river and the Rio Grandc " in possession of Mex ico."
 We beg pardon of our readers for spends ing so many words on that little paragraph but is n't it "killing thing" for the Judge, thus to have his judgment, ueracity and CONSISTENCY, called in question by the Register?

The invention is founded up on The chemical analysis of the natural vafIties ef stone, and the manufacture is capable of suoh notifications as are requisite to produce all the varieties. The artificial stone is less absorbant than natural stone, and is superior in compactness of texture, and will resist frost, damn, and the chemical acids. It is made Si fiints, siiiceous grit, sand &c., rendered fluid by heat and poured into moulds as required till cool and hardened.

G-A prominent democrat in this county called few days since to stop his paper, assigning as reason therefor, our pubica ton of the "infamous article from the Char ter Oak.' The article in question we copied, for the simple and express purpose of showing the origin of mob in Hartford i; stating at the same time that we dissen'ed from it's severity and its personalities. But it seems that the many rough-edged truths which the article contained, have cut to the quick, in one instance al least. ---

A GOOD SERMON.

A story is told of the elder Dr. Beecher
 now of Cincinnati, that is said to be true
 and is worth putting into types, as illustra> ting the truth that we never can tell what may result from an apparently very insig. nifcant actiona The doctor once engaged to preach for a country minister, on ex- change, and the Sabbath proved 10 be one excessively stormy, cold and uncomfortable
 It was in mid>winter, aud the snow was
 piled in heaps all along the roads, so as ,o
 make the passage very dithcult. Still the
 minister urged his horse through the drifts, till he reached the church, put the animal into shet and went in. As yet there was | no person in the Eouse, and after looking about,the old gentle eman-then youns-took his seat in the pulpit. Soon the door open> ed, and single individual walked up the aisle. looked about and took seat. The hour came for commencing service, but no more hearers.
 Whether to preach to such an audience or not was now the guestion-and it was one that Lyman Beecher was not long in deciding. He felt that he had duty to perform, and he would not refuse 10 do it, be- cause only one man could reap the benefit of It-- and he actually went through the seryi> ces, praying singing. preaching, and the henediction, with only one nearer. And when all was over he hastened down from his desk to speak to his "congregation," but he had depalled. 5r ,s.H H,fe..7
 A circumstance so rare was referred to occasionally. but twenty years afler, it was brought to the doctor's mind quite strangely. Traveling some where in Ohio, the doctor alighted from the stage, one day, in pleas, ant village, when a gentleman stepped up and spoke to him, familiarly calling him by name. do not remember yoa,, said the doctor. II suppose not" said the slran> ger" but we spent two hours tose in a house, alone. once, in storm" "l do not recall it sir" added the old man, "pray when was it? "Do you remember preach h. ing, twenty years ago, in such place, to a siagIe person ?'' '.Yes, sir" said the doctor, grasping his hand, II do, indeed. and if you are the man, have been wishing to see you ever since." ''I am the man. sir : and that sermon saved my ssul. .a made a minister of me, and yonder is my church The converts of that sermon, sir, are all over Ohio" .-......
 So striking a result made no little i'm. pression on the old veterans mind. He Iearned that the man was at the time a law yer, who Was in the town on business. and tired of Sunday morning at the country hotel. went in spite of the storm to hear tha, | sermon. The doctor often tells thc story, and adds, "I think that was abou, as satis> factory an audience as ever ad."-Bos- ton Bee.

STAND BY THE COUNTRY.

Ay, says the Cincinnati Atlas, ssan' by the country. A noble sentiment, al ways stimulating :o the heart of the pu iriot. But what is standing by the coun try l. it to assert the infalibility ol the Executive and to require the passive obedience of the people Is the Presi- dent the country? Are his measures s never to be canvassed, except for ap- proval Is the freedom of thought and speech limited to the applause of his acts, while the right to condemn is de> nicd
 Stand by the country, jay we. Stand by it in it's glory and gloom. Stand by it whether the President is right or wrong. When the President is right sustain him and the country; when wrong restain him. and thus stand by the country. IL is as much the duty of true patriotism to oppose the President when wrong as it is to sustain the cou, SC of the country when right. Thatis the best test of true patriotism.l It requires no moral courage to stand by the country when she is r,gh,; but it is a proof of moral heroism to resist the Executive in doing wrong. Is not this the duty of Repub- lican patriot! The doctrine that we must stand by the President right or wrong is only taught by tyrants, only submitted to by slaves. Frsemen will stand by theiI country, whe :her assaiIed by foreign O, domestic enemies, the latter of whom, a. being more dangerous, are more to bt feared than the former.
