LAME,TABIE AFFAIR AT Quincy, MAss-A cor
respondent furnishes us with the particulars of an
affair OF most distressing character, which oc-
Cured at Quincy, on Tuesday last. The dead body
OF young lady, named Harriet A. Nghteng le
daughter Of Mr. Moses Nightingale, was on tn Il
day found in the canal, not not far from the resi-
dence OF The late John Quincy Adams. 1t seems
that Miss Nightingale had formed an attachment
tor ayoung man residing in Quincy and, at first,
she thought that her affection might be recpro-
Gated, But, attending church last Sabbath, she
read the name of her lover declaring his intentions
OF marrying another young lady. This drove her
TO madness, and going home, she passed the night
In dreadful state of mental excitement. On Mon
day she wrote letter, directed to her late lover,
which she dropped in the post office and i is pre-
sumed that the same night she put an end to her
existence by throwing herself into the canal Since
the recovery of her body the contents of the letter
have been made public In it, she expressed deep
affection for the young man-stated that she had
rejected many sutors on his account, and that as
he was about marrying another, she could not bear
the thought Of living. Miss Nightingale was
about tweny-one years of age, and bore high
reputation among large circle of devoted friends

EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIPE.-We learn that
on Tuesday evening last, great explosion took
place at Wndham, n. H., about ten miles from
Lawrence, on section of the new Lawrence and
Manchester railroad. II seems that two Irshmsn
had been discharged during the dry from the en-
ployment OF the company, and in the evening" de-
ieinllned TO revenge themselves by blowing up
large quantity of powder which was stored in
building, to be used in blasting rocks. There were
forty-six kegs in all and the Trishmen in some way
or other applied the match, supposng they could
dc, so with perfect IMMUNITY and safety to them
selves. The explosion was terrific, having been
te like the sound of an earthquake, in the neigh
boring towns One of the Irishmen, probably the
one who applied the match, was blown sky high
and to atoms. The other, farther from the scene
CT operations, escaped without much injury, ex-
cept good singing, and backing. When found,
he was screaming murther," in terrible fright.
The building in which the casks were stored, was,
OF course, blown all to pieces.-Lo,oN (Dfa1)

SANITARY rREcEPrs.

The following are from DIR. Brigham's
"Utica Asylum Souvenir" s"a ~
awe wish we could impress upon all, the
vast importance of securing sound, and abhn-
dant sleep: if SO, we should feel that we
had done an immense good to our fellow be-
ing., not merely in preventing insanity, but
other diseases also.
awe fear that the great praise of early
rising has had this bad effect, to make some
believe that sleeps but of little consequence.
Though it may be well to rise with the sun,
or when it is light, mot before, however
vet this is of minor consequence in compa.
rison with retiring early TO bed.
81 have always taken care" said the wor-
thy DR.. Holyoke, after he was above 100
years of age, "tc have full proportion OF
Sleep which suppose has contributed to my
longevity"
In our opinion, the most frequent and i'm
mediate cause of insanilS, and the one most
important to guard against is the acdnt Of
sleep.
To procure good sleep il is important that
the mind should not be disturbed for several
hours before retiring TO rest
Drummond thus extols sleep:
sssleep silence, child, sweet father of soft rest,
Prince, whose approach peace to all mortals brings
Indifferent host to shepherds and to kings,
Sole comforter of minds which are opprcssed
Io by thy charming rod all breathing things
Lie sumbering, with forgetulness possest.'
