the l7ih Of March, 1881, atihe village

one Of eight children. His father was a

He early gave indications or .lir pos,i-

Of life made mis- name as "household

same time, he discovered a singular
want Of dexterity in practical affairs, and
was unable TO conquer the difficulties Of
some Of the most common branches Of
education. Soon after leaving school,
he was found to be SO deficient in ariih-
me.ical knowledge, that Ire was placed
by his father as laborer in the foundry.

an elder brother in the same establish

DEATH AT A WEDDING.

% The Highistown IN. J.) Record tells
the following melancholy story: "On
Wednesday large party assembled TO
witness The marriage between Mr.. VIM.
Cox, and Miss Mary Ann Perrine, and
10 participate IN the festivities usual on
such occasions. The wedding came off
al the house Of the father Of the bride,
near Cranberry, and shortly after the
ceremony was performed, and while the
guests wefe yet paying their compliments
TO the newly married bride, the BRIDES
maid, Miss Margaret Dey, was suddenly
taken very III, and was removed to anoih-
er apartment. DR.. Glow happened TO be
present and Immediately attended to her.
This unexpected event naturally cast q
damper upon the spirits OF the assembled
guestss from which they did not recover
the remainder of the evening. Before
the party broke up Miss Dey appeared
much better, and the next morning she
was so much recovered that ibe married
couple started for the house Of the groom
in Princeton. They had proceeded OF
their journey as far as this village, ant
had stopped for refreshment a; MajoI
Smiths Hotel, when messenger over
ltook them with the astounding intelli
gence that Miss Dey had departed tlli'
life. The effect of this news on the bfi
dal party cannot be described. Thay i'm
mediaiely returned to Cranberry, and a
the train ofcarriages left our yillagei i hat
more appearance Of a funeral than that o
a wedding party. Miss Dey was a yer,
beantifnl and interesting girl, and wal
shortly TO be married."

PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.--One Of
the most inconceivable things in the ma
iure OF the brain is, that the organ of sem
sation should itself be insensible. To
cut the brain will give no pain, yet in The
brain alone resides the power Of feeling
pain in any other part Of the body. If the
nerve which leads from il to the injured
part be divided, il becomes instantly un-
conscious Of suffering. Il 10 only by
communication with the brain that any
kind Of sensation is produced, yet the
organ itself is insensibls. But there is
a circumstance moro wonderful still.
The brain itself may be removed, may be
cut away down to the cropus calsrum,
without destroying life. The animal lives
and performs all its functions which are
necessary to simple vitality, but no lonI
ger hss mind; it cannot think o. feed
il requires tha, food should be pushed
into its stomach; once there, il is diges.|
ted, and the animal will even thrive and|
grow Fat. We infer, therefore, that the|
part Of the brain, the eonyolution, is SIM
ply intended for the exersise ofthe intel,
lectual faculties, whether Of be low de-
gree instinct. or exalted kind bestowed
ON man, the, gift Of reason.- Wdgan o1

RICHMOND.

We are told that the voters of Richmond,
after voting allTuesjay night for representative
in vain, assembled again "Wednesday forenoon
and made choice OF Edwin Mason ESQ.,, High
Democrat, to represent the town for the ensuing

Mr.. Mason's chance for a seat on such an
election is not good enough to warrant us in en-
terlng his name on the roll.
From the Free Press we learn that the votes
Of Bolton for county officers given on the Sd
Sept. were not couated until Friday evening the
6th-that the boxes were not SO closed up when
taken from the constable, as 10 prevent the adj

The Question Settled.

The House has passed the Teras boundary
bill, including territorial bill for .NsI .Merieo,
without the Wilmot Proviso. The Proviso we
regard of less consequence than the boundary,
as Slavery may be excluded without the Proviso
but it is outrageous to give. thousands Of miles
of free soil to Texas, and pay her ten millions
into the bargain The only excuse for this act
is, that there will be civil war without it. We
don't believe word of it; and if true, we don't
believe in buying rebellion off: it is too much
like treating spoilt child to sugar plumbs, in
stead OF the scripture rule rod for the FOOLS
back" We are therefore sorry to say that "a

Wings voted against the bill, and only 10 Nor

The Vermont delegation voted rigM-unan-

The California bill. we are glad to SAY, was
passed by grand majority-150 to 57,-after

it to Slavery. The Vermont delegation right a.

Nothing now remains to be acted upon, touch

trade IN the District Of Columbia, which will
probably pass without much opPos ton.

Ne OWeu 10 Ills own race.
Mr. Pearce moved an amendment to the a.
mendment giving the authorities of the district
power to enforce the authority conferred ON them
by the bill.
Air. Clay briefly replied to Mr.. Hunter, that
this was the last Of a series of measures report
ed by the Committee of Thirteen. 1t did not
look at all TO the abolition of slavery 10 the dis
trict, as Mr.. Hunter had minated. The Com
miltee had no such design, and his own opinion
was, that its effect would be quite contrary. He
commended that the Senator had no right to cite
the arguments made in the case of Graves and
Slaughter. The question was not what did the
counsel argue IN behalf of their clients, but
what did the Court decide to be the Constitu-
tIoDaI law? The decision was against the po-
sltion assumed by the Senator from Virginia.
Mr.. Clay also made some general remarks in
support of the bill as a constitutional and ap-
proprIate measure. and expressed his sincere
desire that it should pass without additional a
mendment.
Mr.. Foote accepted Mr.. Pearce's amendment
Mr.. Downs hoped that the Senate would not
waste It's time in the discussion of the amend
men; to this bill, but would dispose of 1t at once,
and proceed to the other important business Of
the country. He did not consider this measure
pressing or important, and moved that it be post.
poned until Tuesday next
MIR. Clay thought that time would be saved BY
acting on this bill now, and asked the yeas and
nays on the motion to postpone.
Mr.. Foote advocated immediate action. A
portion of his amendment was designed to afford
proper means for the punishment of acts, such
as those recently perpetrated by Chaplin.
