A FIENDIsH HoAX.-A Philadelphia
correspond ent of the N Y. Herald gives
the following account of a hoax perpetra-
ted by some malicious individual on Col.
Wallace, of the Philadelphia Sun:
A most fendish hoax was yesterday
successfully practised upon Col. Wallace,
of the Philadelphia Sun. While sitting
at home yesterday afternoon he received
a note, signed George johnson, informing
him that his son, who, by the way, assists
him in his editorial labors, had, a few
hours previously, accidentally shot himself
through the heart while out guning in
the neighborhood of Red Bank, N. j.
Although instant death was produced, the,
writer frankly and politely informed Col.
w., eyour son Frank died very easy
fact which no one felt inclined to dispute,
considering the nature of the wound
The family were of course, Immediately
plunged in the deepest distress, and Col.
w. himself fastened to the Walnut street
wharf, with the view of charterlng a
steamboat to convey the body from Red
Bank to the city. Capt. Nc Maxim kindly
placed his boat (the Edwin Forres) at
his disposal, bat before steam was got up,
the hoax was exposed by the appearance
in his proper person, health, and clothes,
of the unfortunate deceased The scoun-
drel who could thus coolly and malicious
ly play upon the feelings of a whole TAM
lily deserves to be scourged a: the carts
tail from the Delaware to the Schuylkill
and back again.

Oh, the magic of Autumn! its low, moaning WINDS
That's cha stened by summers warm, parting
salute,
Which sweetly nfuses its spirit, and lends
A midness that tempers old Autumn's shrill lutte:
Sweet the time when Summer is fading away,
And Autumn the forest in changefu array
Is clothing, and signing sorrowful lay
For the voices Of Summer that soon w II be mute.
The seasons of earth, all-all havetheir charms
The bright-smiling Spring with its license and
bloom
The Summers cool bowers with flower for arms,
Inviting repose midst leaves and perf,me,-
But Autumn. old Autumn has varied charms too!
love its bright forests of every hue
l love its fair skies Of orient blue,
And love its soft guise and its gorgeous plume.
But Autumn may spread his bright mantle of gold
And checker the vale with his glorious dyes,
Still the dark pine tree, rising gloomy AM bold,
The spirit of change and of Autumn d6es;
And the wearied spirit, fellowship finds
Midst sorrow and change,with the evergreen pines,
Like Hopes virgin bIoom when the spirit repines,
They speak of fair days and of yet brighter skies.

NEGROES IN CANADA.-We mentioned
some time since that the people of Canada
had taken exceptions to the presence
among them oi so many free negroes.
A committee of the coored citizens think
ing that the object was to deprive them
OF the privilege of settling where they
pleased, addressed note to the celebrat-
ed Malcolm Cameron, asking his advice
and opinion on the subject. The follow
ing is the reply of that gentleman:
TORONTO, Nov. 2, 1S49.
Gemlemen-In reply to your letter of
this day, | beg leave 10 say that the evil
you complain of, relative to your position
IN common schools, was fully provided
for in the new school bill which l had
the honor to conduct through Parliament
last session, and which comes into opera
ton in January next.
| regretted very much the tone and
sentiments of the resolutions and address
ses to which you allude as having been
passed at Chatham in August last, and
feel quite sure that they are not the
sentiments Of the great mass OF the county
of Kent. For my own part, l have ever
advocated the perfect equality OF all man
kind and the right of all to every civil
and religious privilege, without regard
TO creed or color
And under the constitution we now
enjoy all men are really Stree and equal
and none can deny to the African any
thing granted to the Scotchman' the
lrlshman, or the Saxon: they have the
night to purchase where they please and
settle in groups or singly, as they like;
and wherever they are, they will find me
ready to defend and maintain the prln-
ciples of civil and religious freedom to
all, as the principle l hold most dear to
myself and most sacred to my country.
] have the honor to be
your obedient servant,
MALCOLM CAMERON.

DR.. COOLIDGE IN CALIFoRNIA.-Ihe
question whether Dr. Coolidge is dead or
not is exciting much attention at the
eastward, and the parties to the issue are
fortifying themselves with affidavits-
witnesses who allege that they knew
Coolidge well, swearing positively that
not his. Dr. Coolidge, it will be remem-
bered, was convicted in Maine of murder,
and while in prison, it is said, committed
suicide, and, after a coroner's inquest was
held on the body it was buried. 1t is
since alleged that the death and burial
was all ratSe on the part OF the officers
of the prison to cover his escape. In ad,
di;ion to the several affidavits already
published, the American Union, at Boston,
publishes letter written by a former res
ident of Maine, and dated at Short Bar,
thirty miles from Coloma, California;
September 3, addressed to a gentleman in
Boston, The writer claims that he was
acquainted with Coolidge at Waterville,
and cannot be mistaken in his statement:
Yesterday morning there came up here
three strangers from Sacramento City,
one of whom recognised as the notorious
DR.. Valorous p. Coolidge, formerly of
WaterviIIe. Me-, the alledged murderer of
Edward Matthews! Could | be mista-
ken? How came he here? Has he es-
capped hanging? I knew Coolidge we'll,
at Watervile-and if this is not him, then
[ never saw the man. His beard was
very thiE and scattered over his thin mar
row face, but it had grown out two or
three inches in length. He passed here
by the name of Wilkes or Wilkins. His
eve | could not mistake. He appeared
we'll, but in no other way altered, save
that he was meanly dressed, and looked
little "harder" than usual. l told my be-
lief to W., and the next morning
Coolidge was gone. Where he has wan
dered, [ cannot guess [ feel sure it
was him. If you ever write, tell me
what this can mean. Or, am deceived!
