Thrilling Incident.

In 1s07,a young Polish Officer, being with
the division that was advancing an the Vistu-
Ia, obtained leave to visit his father, whom he
had not seen for years, but whom he hoped to
find IN the paternal mansion, situated in
wild part of the country, but not very far from
the route which his corps was taking He
was, however, surprised by the night, as he
was still riding through forest of frs which
seemed interminable. He therefore put up
at a small roadside inn, where there were
two ladies put up--a mother and her daughter
two Polish ladies who were hurrying to
meet the husband of one of them, a colonel
in jerome Bouaparte's army. They were
in great state of alarm, the conduct of the
people about the place having reused their
suspicion. AT their request, the Pole took up
his quarters in room from which their cham
Der entered, so that no one could reach them
without passing BY him. The room he thus
occupied was on the first floor, and at the top
Of staircase from which access was obtained
by trap-door. This trap the officer Shut,
and fastened by a wooden bolt belonging to it
Then, telling the ladies to fear nothing, he
placed his sword and pistols on table beside
him and he resolved 10 keep good watch
About midnight, be heard steps on the stair
case. No answer was returned to the chal-
ienge he made; on the contrary, some
one tried to force the trap. The officer OBJ
serving hole two or three inches square in
it. passed the muzzle of one of his pistols
through and fred. There was the sound
of body rolling down the staircase. But the
attempt was soon after renewed; this time

place that night In the morning squadron

ed in safety. No: single person was found
in the inn. The tficer continued his way

however, had much struck him; the hand he
had cut off was very small, delicate, and
white; moreover, one of the fingers wore a
ring of considerable va,ue The ring he took
possession of, with strange, uncomfortable
feeling of coming evil, which increased as he
went on Arrived at his fathers house, he
was told that his parent was i'll, and in bed
He was, however, soon introduced to his pre-
sence. The old man was evidently suffering
great pain; but he conversed with his son for
some time, with tolerabe composure. Sudden
ly, however, by q convulSive movement, he
threw off the bedclothes' and the officer, to his
horror, saw that his fathers right hand was

passions, as, throwing the jewel on the floor
he rushed out of the house, mounted his horse
and rode off at full speed. A few weeks
afterward, he sought and found his death

From Europe.

The intelligence of the Niagara is not of
great importance, though interesting The
war In Germany is announced as having end
ded, and that Of Denmark and the Duehies as
remaining in stdtW quo Austria is still arm
ing. A despatch from Vienna, under the date
of the I'd inst, states that General Radetzky,
and other military chiefs, have been summon
ed to attend a grand council of war at that
capital. The Austrian army against Prussia
IS to be increased until it musters 10000
men, and among them lSo squdron of horse,
of 14O each. This may appear extraordinary,
continues the despatch, as certain conciliatory
proposals have of late been sent by the Prus-
sian Court: but it is stated that these propo-
sails cannot be accepted by the Prince Schart-
zenberg, since Prussia insists, in the Hessian
question, to protect the Electorate against the
Intervention of the Federal Diet
The question as to peace or war will be set
tied BIZ the manner in which Prussia receives
the proposals which Prince Schwartzenberg is
now making. The Oesterreichische Cores
pondez states that Austria and Russia are
completely agreed as to the German question
In England, the absorbing question contin-
ues to be the recent action of the Pope. The
excitement is increasing, and the whole body
of the clergy. of the established church are
moveing 10 opposition to the 'usurpation. -
Sir John Russell. in writing to the Bishop of
Durham, says-'This is an assumption of
power in all the documents which have come
from Rome pretension to supremacy over
she realm of England, and claim to sole and
undivided sway. which is inconsistent with the
Queens supremacy. with the rights of our
bishops and clergy, with sthe spiritual inde-
pendence of of the nation, as asserted even IN
Roman Catholic times. I confess, however,
that my alarm is not equal to my indignation

nistnnces ACROSS fIno ocean.

The nearest geometrical distance between
Liverpool and the North American ports is
traced to the great curve which sweeps by
Cape Clear in Ireland, and Cape Race in New
Foundland, and thence down the coast to vari-
Gus ports alluded to. The distance to Cape
Race, which is a common Que to all the ports,
measured carefully on a globe, in round num-
bers 80 deg Or 1880 marine miles. From
Cape Race to the different ports-or more
strictly, to the entrance, on the sea coast of
the several harbors-the distances are as fol-
lows, viz:-To Halifax, 800; marine miles !;
to Boston $40; to New York, 900; to Phila-
delphia, l, $50; to Norfolk, l 100. Hence
the total distances from Liverpool are To
Halifax, 2, $40; to Philadelphia, 2,97O; to
Philadelphia, 5000; to Norfolk. 3,l5O-Bos-
ton is miles farther than Halifax; New York
600 miles farther; Philadelphia $50.

BB Mr. Orton, member of the Constitu-
tional Convention, left yesterday morning fol
the scene of his labors at Cincinnati

The New York Express says, that Colonel
Benton has made long speech in ST. Louis,
defining his position upon himself mainly, upon
the compromise generally, and upon the Union
extensively, He is quite severe upon "the
simples," at home and abroad, and unsparing
upon the Disunionists. His speech embraces
view of the measures of Congress, and de-
fence of the part played by him in their ad-
justment and non-adjustment The speech is
in ''the Sir Oracle vein of the Missouri Sen
ator, and pleases the Evening Post, of this city,
which made arrangements to have it tele-
graphed to New York. There is nothing new
in the speech, and it is but the repetition Of
the pummelling which the Missouri Senator
has so often given his opponents, in and out of
the Senate Chamber. There is an effort
making among Col Benton's friends to secure
his nomination for the next Presidency.

An Editor Mnhhed.

We have waited with considerable anxiety
to see the result of the late attack upon the
"fearless and independent" editor of the Up
per Sandusky Pioneer, by set of rufians
from Versailles. Tt appears that the editor
took decided stand in favor of Wyandot
county taking stock in certain railroad, and
his philanthropic course excited the jealousy
of these rampant bulies," who had the har-
dhood to entice our ''innocent and unsuspect-
ing" friend from the house where he put up,
telling him they had something of importance
to communicate, and then treating him in the
most brutal manner, in fact, to use the Ian
guage of the Pioneer, they treated him worse
than "the untutored savages of the forest
would treat their victims at the stake" And
this, too, in the 10th century of the Christian
Era!
He says he was struck three different times
on the breast and asks:
"In this christian and enlightened age of
the world, who would have supposed that
there were six or seven big bulles living any
where, that could muster up moral courage
enough to assail and personally attack lone
editor in strange land for no other purpose
than to use him barbarously,"
is past our apprehension how they could
muster up moral courage enough" to attack
any one, let alone lone editor in strange
land Such conduct should not go unnoticed
by the press in this country, and these "big
bulIies" should be held up to the scorn and
contempt of the civilized world, and the crest
of mankind"
We are glad to sec that the editor is not to
be intimmidated by their threats, and that he
is handling them without gloves. Although
he is very severe upon them, they don't get
any more than they deserve. We hope he
will continue to LASH them, until they make
ample and satisfactory reparation to the edi-
tor of the Pioneer, and in fact to the press
generally, for the whole American press are
alike insulted by this most "brutal' and "bar-
barous" attack upon one of their number.

Living in Hearts.

1t is better to live in hearts than in houses
A change OF circumstances or a disobligin0
landlord may turn out of house to which he
has formed many attachments Removal from
place to place is with many an unavoidable in
cident Of life. But one cannot be expelled
from true and loving heart, save by his own
fault; nor yet always by that, for affection
clings tenacously to its object in spite of i'll
desert; but go where he WILL his home re-
mains in hearts which have learned to love
him; the roots of affection are not torn out or
destroyed by such removals, but they remain
fixed deep in the heart, clinging still to the
image of that object which they are more ea-
ger to clasp. When one revisits the home Of
his childhood, or the place ofhis happy abode
in ife's spring time, pleasant as it is to survey
each familiar spot, the house, the garden, the
trees planted by himself or kindred now sleep
ing in the dust, there is in the warm grasp of
the hand in the melting eye, in the kind and
earnest salutation, in the tender solieitude for
the comfort and pleasure of his visit, a delight
that no mere local object of nature or art, no
beautiful cottage, or shady rill, or quiet grove
can possibly bestow. To be remembered, to
be loved, to live in hearts, this is one solace
amid earthly changes-this is Joy above all
the pleasures of scene and place We love
this spiritual me-feelng-the union ofhearts
which death cannot destroy; for it augurs, if
there be art-purity as well as well as heart
affection, an unchanging and imperishable
abode in the hearts now dear.

A Coed Mans Wish,

I freely confess to you that I would rather,
when l am laid low in the grave, have some
one in his manhood stand over me and say ;
There lies one who was real friend to me );
he kindly and privately warned me of the dam
gers of the young; no one knew it, but he
aided in time of need; l owe what l am to
him:'' or would rather have some widow
with choking utterance telling her children
there is your friend and mine. He visited me
in my afliction, he found you, my son, good
employer; and you, my daughter, happy
home in a respectful and virtuous family
1 say would rather that such persons should
stand at my grave, than to have erected over
it the most beautiful sculptured monument of
Partisan or italian marble. Phillips.

CONSCIENCE AND THE CoNsTITUTIoN.-It is
Certainly gratifying to every upholder of our
constitutional compact to notice the frequent
testimony given from high judicial sources to
its binding force in all cases and under all cir
cumstances-its recognition as the "higher
law" of our country.
Judge Judson, of the United States Circuit
Court for the district of Connecticut, in Il late
charge to jury, impressed upon their minds
that the paramount law is that of the Const-
tuition. He said: "We are led TO believe
and know that the constitution of the United
States framed as it was in wisdom and patriot
ism, is our paramount law, and must guide and
govern every man who has taken his oath for
its support. No mans conscience can Justify
its infraction or excuse its rejection, in whole
or in part. Who has a right to say to the
community around him, will obey only this
or that provision of the law, and trample un-
der foot the residue? Then every other man
would have the same right to select his reject
ed portion, and the consequence would be that
nothing would remain of our noble fabric but
shreds and patches.

Mrs. swissl,eln on thc yyoman's

The edtress of the Pittsburgh Saturday
Visitor, Mrs. Swisshelm- discusses the doings of
the Women's Rights Convention at Worcester.
We give the following extract from her ar
ticle:
awe are pretty nearly out of patience with
the dogged perseverance with which SO many
of our reformers persist in their attempts to
do everything at once. They remind us OF
the little fellow who bought bunch OF car
rots to fee@ his pet rabit When he took them
to the cage he found the bunch wonld not go
through the aperture, but he pushed and
struggled and crushed and thrust, then cried
out in vexation II cannot set the carrots IN
to the cage, father!"
tOf course not all at once, my son! Unite
the string and put in one at a time :
But | want to put them all in father?
We'll so you can if you do as bid you?
Sammy sat and studied moment! 1t is
very clear that one carrot could pass the
barrier, and that in time all might go through,
but that was not his plan, so he continued.
But while put in one, the rest will be left
out
Very true; but if you do not get in one
all will be left out
But want them all IMP says Sammy,
making rather desperate thrust. and none of
ems got any right to be FOREMOST
So Mr.. Clay was determined to thrust a
bundle of his bills through Congress, and for
months he resisted, with desperation, every
effortto unite the string-he wanted 'em all
in, and none OF 'em had any right to be fore
most; and now the Worcester Convention is
walking in the footsteps of this illustrious ex-
ample They, too have made a bundle, and
We would advise them with all possible speed
to unite the string. The subject of womans
admission to the right of citizenship is of sufi-
cient Importance TO claim consideration as a
seperate measure. "One at timel One
at time!' called Billy Smith, when he was
court crier, and hidden to "call John Brown
and Mary Brown" into court, and to call one
at time. We always liked BiIlys plan
of obeying orders and very often follow his
example, and call for one at a time. Then
let us have the one that's called for. This
convention was called to discuss Women's
rights, and if it had paid good attention to its
own business, it would have had work plenty

VALUE OF CHRISTIAN FRIENDSHIP Friend
ship is necessary to our happiness here; and
built upon Christian principles, upon which it
can stand, is a thing even ofreigious sanction
for what is that love which the holy spirit
speaking by St. John, so much inculcates as
friendship ?-the only love which deserves
that name, love which can toll and watch
and deny itself, and go to the death for its
brother. Worldly friendships are a poor
weed compared with this, and even the union
OF spirit in the bond of peace, would suffer in
my mind at least could | think it were only
coeval with our earthly mansions. Cowper.
