Distressing Accident. We ale pain,
&c to learn, that Mr.. JOSEPH ALLISON
was very seriously, if not mortally in
jured, by the accidental explosion of a
powder blast, in the ore bank near the
Fort Furnace. Itappears that Mr.. l..
was employed in getting out ore, and
was preparing blast for that purpose;
and having deposited powder in the
vein, was filling up the hole with a
steel instrument, when the powder ig-
nited, taking effect principally in the
face and breast of the unfortunate man.
He has thus been deprived of the sight,
of one of his eyes, and possibly Of that
of the other also. Fears were enter
tained by his friends, at first, that he
would not recover from his wounds
His face and chest were dreadfullv
bruised. Had the blast been properly
rammed, Mr.. L. must have beer blown
to atoms. This melancholy occurrence
took place on Saturday last. This sad
affair is rendered more distressing by
the fact, that large family are mainly
dependant upon his Ia5ors for a living.

LIN End Of Greatness,

1t is lesson iraught with useful instruc.
ton that the elevations of oppression aud
pride are daily rendered more and more pre-
carious. DIR exchanges give a fact on this
subject. worthy of notice, as illustrating a
principle too often overlooked in the purpu-
SEES OF life.
1t is said that the widow and daughter of
Nj. Laiitte, the eminent banker of Louis
Philippe, and TO whom the Ex-King owed
the means to support his dignity at the conf
mcnccmcnt Of his reign, has arrived in this
country as Storage passenger. Herself
and family are now in Boston. seeking em-
ployment as teachers. The daughters said
to be the wife or widow of one of the sons of
the late Marshal Bertrand. !, was not the
desire of concealmcnt but absolute poverty,
which compelled them to come out to this
country in the steerage. They had not, il
is said, even the means Of paying for the
humble accommodation betwcc II decks, and
their passage was not paid until after their
arrival in this country. Madame Lalitte
and her daughter are ladies' of the most ex.
amp!ary character, and highly accomplish

Minister OF Finance, they were courted and

Social KindncSs.-IIow sweet Is social
affection! When the world is dark without,
we have light within. When care destnrbs
the reast,-when sorrow broods around the
hcart;-wlIat joy gathers in the circle Of
love We forgot the world, with all its an
imosities, while blest with social kindness.
That man canuo, be unhappy who has hearts
that vibrate in sympathy with his own
who is cheered by the smile Of affection and
the voice Of tenderness. Let the world
be dark and cold-let the hate and abimosi-
ty Of bad men gather abont him in the place
of business--but when he enters the ark VI
lovc-his own cherished circle-he forgets
all these, and the cloud passes from hi. brow
and the sorrow from his heart. The warm
sympathies Of wife and children dspel every
shadow, and he feels thrill of joy in his
bosom which words are inadequate to cx-
press. 1Ic who is a stranger to joys Of So
cial kindness, has not begun 10 live.

equel competitor against the rattle snake
Such is the celebrity of motion, not only In
running, but in entwining itself round its
victim, that the rattlesnake has no way Of
escaping from its fatal embrace. When the
black and rattlesnakcs are about TO meet
for battle, the former darts forward at the
height Of his speed, and strikes at the neck
of the latter with unerring certainty, leav.
ing foot or two Of the upper part Of the
body at liberty. Within an instant he en-
circles him within five or six folds; he then
stops and looks the strangled and gasping
foe in the face, to ascertain the effect pro
duccd upon his corsrted body. Ifhe shows
signs Of life, the coils are multiplied and the
screws tightened-the operator allthe while
narrowly watching the counteance CT the
helpless victim. Thus tho. two remain thir.
ty or forty minu'es--the sxecutioncr then
slackens the coil, noticing at the same time
whether any signs Of life appear; IL SO, the
coil is resumed, and retained until the in

way.
