A DEER SroRy.-It is stated in the New
York Express that a fortnight ago the good
people Of Bangor, Maine, were quite battered
BY the dashing along its streets ola large deer
at full speed. The animal made his way d.
rectly for the main street, awhere merchants
most do congregate," and went rushing along
among the fashionable shops, much to the alarm
of the t~ownbucks. Over fences, into gardens,
across streets, then through the window Of a
crockery store-out of that to smash through
asplendid &75 pane of glass in a warehouse
opposite, breaking a large astral lamp in his
progress, and trampling a glass showcase to
atoms. His next leap was into a dry goods
store, at the end of which was a 300 mirror;
this seemed to infuriate the beast, for he made
a dead rush against it and shiyered it into a
thousand pieces. This gave him some check,
but before the chase was over, he dashed
through two more windows. He was finally
killed, the expense Of his afternoons trip to
Bangor being about $4oo.

their studies of this accomplishment. 1t Ger
tainlv was a rich treat to listen to the sweet
voices of the Misses D. and L., in a beauli1ut
duo, accompanied on the piano by the teacher
Miss L., whose soft and meiodious strains
seemed to inspire every breast with raptures OF
delight and pleasure. There seems to be a
charm so soft and enchanting in vocal music,
that he who is not subdued by the influence it
exercises, must certainly be a stranger to the
tender emotions of OUT nature-but when ac-
companied by instrumental, it serves to helgh-
ten our delight, and render more powerful and
impressive its melodious strains.
The musical skill displayed by the Misses l..
and E.. is not in my opinion to be surpassed.

THE CoNcoRD1A INrELLIGEScER.--We are
little surprised that "Noia Bene," the New Or
leans correspondent of the above able and inter-
esting sheet, says the New Orleans Bulletin,
should have sent in one Of his letters such an
improbable tale for publication, as that about a
British officer thirty years ago, in which, among
other things, it is stated that the former we'll
known hotel keeper, Mr.. BEALE, had a special
undertaken for his house, who measured every
guest for his coffin so soon as he arrived, which
was made forthwith, and arranged around he
room reserved for the purpose, where the off,
Ger was shown sixty collins each with the name
ola border, his own among the rest, handsome
" engraved on the plate. The officer, who
then Immediately determined to quit the house'
found $3.50 charged in his bill for his coffin,
which he refused to pay until his pride was
touched by BEALE telling him that the first pau
per who died should be buried in that coffin,
with the officers name and coat of arms on it.
Such silly tales, told with the air and gravity OF
fact, are only calculated to 60 abroad among
the weak minded and credulous, to do injury to
the city by fostering the unfounded prejudices
already existing in regard to our habits, GUS
toms and the health of the place.

D1suN1oN.-The following eloquent passage
is an extract from the grafton of Judge Levi
Woodbury., delivered at Portsmouth,, N. h. on
the 4th:
There turks a serpent in the paths of our po-
litical paradise. 1t is not that the bands are
likely to be suddenly cut or torn asunder by
violence; but what will they be worth if neglec-
ted, decayed, and allowed to perish by omission
of duties and Of the compromising temper by
which the Union was founded and can alone be
preserved? | stand not here on this occasion as
the censor of any political party or section, but
as a friend to the constitution and the Union
against all and every aggression in spirit or deed.
If the bonds of a common language, a common
religion, a common country, a common govern
ment, and all the great common glorles OF the
last century, cannot make us conciliatory and
kind-cannot make all sides forgive and forget
something-cannot persuade to some sacrifice
even, if necessary to hold Us together, force is
an Improbable to accomplish it as fratricide is
to perpetuate peace in a common family.

The PREsIDEsr's FAMLY.-Mr. Fillmore
was married in 1926 to Abigail Powers, the
Youngest child Of the Rev. Lemuel Powers
She is still living, and is described ass lady Of
great worth, modest and unobtrusive in her de-
pertinent, and highly esteemed for her many
virtues. They have but two children. The
Oldest, a son, is a young man Of about twenty
one wears of age, who has just entered upon
the practice of the law in Buffalo. he Is sa'o
to be a gentleman of fine qualities, and worthy
to be the son of Republican President. Inc
daughter presents a more noble EXAMPLE. sne
is about eighteen years Of age. Her accom-
pfshments are many and varied, and her indie
pendent, self-reliant character is exhibited in
the fact that she is now, or was very recentiy,a
teacher in one of the free public schools in But
falo. She is one of the women OF whom the
Republic has much more reason to be proud
than of all the gay, gaudy women Of fashion
who often show as much scorn for school
teachers as they do ignorance Of the true quail
tiles of a republican character. Such = family
will do honor to the White House.

The IrAueuRAr1oN.-The National lntelli-
gencer has the following notice of the inaugu-
ration Of President Fillmore:
At 70 o'clock, according to previous arrange
ment. the Senate entered the Hall ofthe House
of Representatives, the Speaker and members
standing. Soon after, the Hon. Willard Fill
more. Vice President of the United States, at
tended by a member of each House, entered the
Hall. and took a seat at the table OF the Clerk
of the House. After a brief pause he rose, and
in a clear and distinct voice, pronounced the
oath of fidelity to the Constitution, and the act
of installation was complete. The profound
silence of SO great an assemblage of deeply,
concerned spe. tators, the ceremony, so brief
and complete, and yet so important in its con-
sequences, national, political and personal, pre-
scented a scene altogether American. 1t was
the incident Of the day, which probably made
less impression than some others on the Amer
lean spectators, but was precisely that which
was most calculated to attract the notice OF for
e~ieners. The death Of the President being an
nounced, a citizen plainly attired, enters among
the assembled Representatives OF the nation,
walks up to the Clerks stand, takes an oath on
the Bible to support the Constitution OF the
United States, and by this brief ceremony, he
becomes, in an instant of time, invested with
the command of the whole military force OF a
mighty empire, with the execution of its laws
and the administration Of its power. No one
objects, or dreams of objection. The act is ac-
q~uiesced in as a thing Of course, and with the
submission that would be rendered to a law of
nature. The sceptre of the people passes into
his hands as quietly and quickly as a power of
attorney could be acknowledged before a JUS
tice of the Peace. And yet, though the indi-
vidual attracted, the thing itself was hardly
thought of in connexion with the consequences.
In sore countries, such a transfer of power
would have cost streams Of blood, and shaken
the Government to its very foundation. And
why is it not so here? Because ours is a Gov
eminent of equal rights and a Government of
laws; and because our people; are a law-abiding
and a law-keeping people; because they know
and feel that their own laws are the restraint
which they themselves have placed on their
own passions; and that it is only by obeying
these avs that their equal rights can be main
tanned. May such ever be their spirit! If so,
we may well say of the Republic, not "Esro
perpetua," but "Esr pepertua"

WEDDrHGs.-A learned writer says, in speak,
ing of weddings, that 'none but a parent feels
upon an occasion like this. And then the bride
gazing with filial and grateful spirit upon the
face of those under whose parental kindness
she has been fostered, trembling at the magni-
tude and irrevocability of the step she has ia
ken, and which must give color to the whole of
hsr future existence. Then turning her eyes
upon her new made husband, with a glance
which seemed to say, "now I must look for hus-
band, parent, all in you" the reciprocal glance
to assure her; she drinks in confidence and reli-
ance as her eye bends beneath his-a thousand
new feelings agitate her bosom-anticipation
gets the better of reflection, The future for a
banishes the past, and she feels secure
on the new throne she has erected for herself
in the heart of the man to whom she has con-
fded her happiness-her ALL"

The CHo1ERA.-Onthe 9th inst, there were
81 deaths in Cincinnati, of which 40 were
from cholera; on the 9th there were SO deaths,
% from cholera.
At Nashville on the 9th there were II buri-
ais, nine from cholera; on the llth, there were
% interments, Is from cholera. The NO.
Delta, says:
The cholera has broken out with great sever
ity in the towns in the west. In Cincinnati,
at the last accounts, there were lis deaths in
twenty-four hours-a larger mortality than was
ever known here during its greatest violence.
In Nashville it prevails even more extensively
and fatally. 1t has extended its ravages to all
the towns and villages along the Ohio, reach
ing even the watering places and summer re-
sorts.
We regret to receive this melancholy intel
ligence, not only on account of the places thus
afflicted, but also because many of our citizens
have resorted to all the towns in the west and
north for the purpose of spending their sum-
mer. There are hundreds now vending their

RATHER CoSTRADIcToRY.-The London
Standard of Freedom contains the following
precious bits of history:
The English population Of the United States :
was originally, for the most part, CONVICTED
fellens; and as punishment is not agreeable,
however just, it produces dislike to he infflctoF'
which, in this instance, has been handed down
to the present generation. This is, no doubt
one cause Of the dislike o fthe mother country.
The following paragraph from an address re-
Gently delivered in London, by Dr.. John pye
smyth, tells another story, and is quite as like
ly to be authentic:
The men whom the tyranny and peridy of
the Stuarts drove to found a new empire IN
America, made it their first care, next to reIl-
gious worship, to found schools and colleges,
the noblest. as to real excellence, that ever
adorned the earth.

Quest was held at Philadelphia, on Monday, the
18th inst. on the body Of Charles Wilson, 81
years Of age, who died m saturday, at his res
idence, under circumstances that induced the
belief that his death was the result OF violence.
The coroner went into an investigation OF the
affair, and from the testimony of several wit
nesses it appeared that the deceased had been
IN for two weeks past, and in that time his wife
had beaten him. One witness stated that she
had used an iron poker, another stated-she had
seen her knock him off the step two or three
times. ~ s
