A life of this distinguished man, by Governor
w. H. SEwARD. of New York, has just been pub
lished The last scene of his life is thus impres-
svely described in it:
He could not shake off the dews of death that
gathered on his brow. He could not pierce the
thick shades that rose before him. But he knew
that eternity lay close by the shores of time
He knew that eternity lay close by the shores of
time He knew that his Redeemer lived. Elo-
quence, even in that hour, inspired him with his

day and not unfrequently men dig from $500 to
$500 worth per day.

The Strange Forgery Case at New Or
leans to be Explained.

Some time since we published singular story
of young French girl (dlle Elise ClemenD with
New Orleans merchant named Gallot- she hav-
ing told her intended husband before marriage that
she was worth some $4,000 in hard cash, exhib-
iiing notes of responsible persons to that amount,
One OF these notes was that of Mr. Michoud, a
responsible man, but he unfortunately pronounced
il forgery, when II was presented for payment.
Elise heard of this while with her husband in
New York She appeared to be much astonished,
soemnly declaring that Michoud had her money.
She Immediately went back to New Orleans. but
was arrested for forgery She asserts that she
can prove the signature of Mr.. Michoud to be gen
uno. and she is anxious to have the matter inves
tigated. The whole affair is involved 10 mystery,
and we are as yet unable to form any opinion in
regard to il. The accused asserts that she was
for considerable length Of time upon the most
intimate terms With Mr. Michoud, and that the
consequences ofsuch intimacy will shortly appear

A Picture of human Misery-A letter from a
clergyman, published in late number of the Dub

without parallel in the annals Of man. 1t is as
follows:
The father and son in the same coffin, the ia
ther, son and nephew in the same grave-the body
of the devoted wife of the afectionate peasant ly-
ing on the hill. side, under WALL whence her
emaciated husband threw few stones to cover
her remains, he no! having strength to dig her a
grave-desened huts, with SO many as three of
their late inmates buried in the floor, some crawl
ing across the fields, with the dead slung in rope
across the back-a desperate labor of affection
the dying wasting their strength in efforts TO bury
the dead. two females, wfetched skeletons,
dragging a dear relative, perhaps a once loved
father or brother to the grave, but their weakness
was such, tina, the body slipping through the rope
on their backs, the head of our fellow creatures
went bump, bump along the road"--the dying
man. and the priest administering sacraments to
him in the open streets, and on market day, with
crowds of gaunt spectres gazing on the awful

The occasion of the dedication of the new Odd
Fellows Hall, at the corner of Grand and Centre

most imposing. The building is one of the finest
in the country, 7S by IA feet, built of free stone,
and cost $4,000. The corner stone was laid
on the 4th of June, 1S47. There were at least
1000 members of the Order in the procession, and

Mex, Election.

We notice with much pleasure-says the Daily
News-the active preparations on the part of the
WHO'S in the several counties of the interior for
the coming State election. The Importance Of the
canvass cannot be lost sight of Upon it, in a
great measure, depends our future prosperity
The contest is with an unscrupulous opposition,
whose every measure of public policy, as we have
unfortunately seen them carried out in past years,
has been to cripple home industry, and make us
subservent to foreign capital. Our agrlculturists
have been told they must look to Europe for
market, aud our manufacturers whether Of fabrics
or iron, have been irrerievably ruined in their ef
forts TO contend against policy which seeks rath-
er to reward foreign than home labor, and places
in competition with our own ar,izans, the half clad,
half fstarved paupers of Europe. Such is not the
policy of Pennsylvania. 1t is her policy to devel-
op her vast fesources-to foster agriculture-to
ill her valleys and manufactures, and 10 swarm
her mountains with miners TO give constant and
profitable employment to her people-to make her
railroads and canals productive, and to release
her ci,lzens from the enormous taxes and heavy
debt which now hangs over them From the ru-
nous policy which has been forced upon US, the
strong arms and stout hearts OF our people, stIug
Cling they have been against treachery and cor
rupton, most strenuously appeal
In view of the vast interests involved in the is
sue now presented, the importance of sustaing the
present administration rises far above all partisan
obligations or prejudces. If the Whig cause shall
fail in the coming contest the fruits OF last years
victory, will be in great measure lost to us. If
it shall succeed, all will be well We shall have
once more tariff. and protection 10 our domestic
industry, upon frmer basis than it has ever be-
fore stood and our forges, manufactures and
mines, guarded against the blighting effects of a
free trade policy, will spring into new life, enrich
ing both labor and the State.
every Wing in Pennsylvania will but give a
few hours to the cause, all our great interests will
be safe. Let every Whig perform his full duty
let no one be found wanting in zeal. The cause
is worthy OK the effort-eFery dictate of prudence
demands it.

Freaks of Lightning.

On Saturday, 9th inst. there was terrible thun-
der storm at Rochester and Buffalo, during which
a large number of buildings in both places were
damaged by the electric fluid. In Rochester, the
house Of Washington Gibbons, was struck, the
fluid passing from tree to the tin conductor of
the house, melting It, and tearing off the clapboards
right and left, made its way into the building,
through closet, then through the chimney, and
cut at the other side of the house.
The inmates of another house who were Ger
mans, were engaged in the usual evening prayers,
knocked down, but not seriously injured. The
fluid also passed down the lightning rod of the
Brick Church, and tore up the ground at its foot.
1t also passed down the chimney of Miss Aliens
Seminary to the cellar. Two or three Telegraphic
wires were cut off,
Mr. Bishops house on Jay street, was struck
and considerably injured.
The house Of Judge Buell., west of the city was
badly injured, its lightning rods furnishing pro-
lection.
At Buffalo, the storm was equally severe The
southwest pinnacle of the main tower of ST. Johns
Church was struck by lightning and shattered--the
fluid passing down and bursting out through the
wood work which encloses the upper section of
the tower, on three sides, doing considerable dam
age. The choir of the Church were rehearsing at
the time, Immediately under portion of the tow
er, but received no other injury than severe shock
and something of fright.
A Journeyman tailor was leaning against the
counter in store, in company with two or three
others during the storm. While in this position,
the lightning tore off the tails of his coat and
struck his hands doing no other injury A prompt
application Of cold water to his hand soon relieved
him from pain; and it is presumed he will readi-
lY repair the damage of his coat.
