DIED, at the residence of Col. SnAs HARRIS

DIED, at the residence of Col. SILAs HARRIS,
in the town of Pine Plains, Duchess County,
N. Y, the Hon. SILAs G. HARRIS, aged 33 years.
For the last fifteen years, the deceased has been
a resident of our County, with the exception of
a brief period he was engaged in the mercan-
tile business, in neighboring County. In his
death we deeply deplore the loss of youthful
statesman-the sound lawyer--the able Judge
the ripe scholar and an intimate friend. We
believe it was our good fortune while he was
living, TO enjoy his fullest confidence and init
macy; and in all sincerity, we,s say that we do
not know of any act of his, in public, or private
life, that would not comport with the word hon.
or in its fullest sense and meaning. No man of
the County and community in which he lived,
ever enjoyed so fully the confidence and atfec-
ton of the people-although young, he has
been three years member of the Legislature
of this State, the last of which he was chosen
to preside over the House of Representatives.
as their Speaker-the duties Of which station
was discharged with great ability. AT the time
of his death he was holding the Office of Coun-
ty Judge, and for the last year has presided over
our County Court-accuser or accused appear
ing before the tribunal, over which he presided,
could enjoy the consciousness that justice right
ly tempered with mercy, was sure to be admin
istered. Oh, may we meet him in the heaven
of eternal rest

~ The following Inquisition, will account
for the loss of the two children mentioned in
our last. 1t will probably be received by many
parents, as a lesson of admoniton, teaching
them in the full discharge Of all their du-
ties, in rearing families-that the whereabouts
of children, at all times should be known to the
parents or guardians. From all that can be
gathered from the school children these two
boys had made up their minds they would cross
the river after cherries, and without The knowl-
edge or consent of their parents, they went
across the logs, in TROOPS BOOM" for the
purpose Of reaching canoe to cross with, and
on that day, the water in the river and bayou,
was ebbing and flowing ut great rate. The
conclusion which the Coroners Jury came to-
was that the boys must have gone out on the
logs, while they were held compact by the tide
rushing up stream-the tide turning to run out,
the logs were scattered and the two boys were
thrown in and drowned. Both Of these chill
dren, were bright active little boys, perfect pic
lures Of health, at the time they were lost
Finding the bodies dispes the fear thatthey were
in the woods, dying with starvation-or that
worse fear, that they might possibly bave been
kidnapped and clandestinely taken away. We
trust that hereafter, parents in this village and
vicinity will not be unmindful of the dangers
by which their children are surrounded. Like
wise, let all boys be taught to swim, by expe-
rienced tutors, and many scene of distraction
like the present, will be saved.

ACQUITTAL OF CADET.
PARIS, July %, 1851.

After the departure Of M. CADET for America,
Dee, l3, lS4S, when he came 10 reJoin his lea
rian Colony, now established ut NauvoO, the
Government took the advantage OF his absence
20 accuse him Of fraud in his relations with his
Colony, as if the enterprise had been only a
swindiing operation. This accusation was evil
IDENTIFY mere pretext, and the whole suit moth
ing but an act of political persecution. All the
reactionary journals We'd with each other in
venting calumny and abuse against III. CADET,
who was at the same time slandered by some Of
the witnesses, and even condemned to two years
imprisonment by the Criminal Court. This
took place during his absence, and by default
AS soon as NJ CADET believed that prosper
Gus state of his Icarian Community would per-
nit him to leave without injury, he returned to
Paris, having taken passage at New York, the
2lst Of May, in the steamer Arctic. 1t is an
uncommon spectacle TO see man accused OF
swindling 90 three thousand miles to confront
his accusers.
Mr.. CADET had always declared that he would
appear before his judges at the earliest mo-
ment, and he has kept his word. He had al
ways declared that he would triumph over cal
umny, and his prediction is-now fulfilled.
The trial continued for four days, from the
23d to the Goth, before great multitude OF
spectators, who crowded the hall. The Attor-
ney General called dozen witnesses, while M.
CADET, who had great number, was content
with only three.
A lawyer among his friends, M. Henry Cellz,
presented the legal question with great ability,
and CADET thought it would be impossible to
sustain the accusation; but the Attorney Gen.
cral persisted in the charge, though he admitted
that perhaps M. CADET had saved society, at the
time of the February Revolution, by urging
the victorious people not to abandon them
selves to vengeance.
The persistence of the public prosecutor al
armed the friends of NJ. CADET, and it was gen.
orally thought that political influence had made
his commentator certain. But NJ. CADET re-
piled himself to the Attorney General, speak
ing about four hours, and explaining principally
the moral aspect of his experiment of coloni-
cation in America. He said that he wished the
whole population of Paris and of France were
present, to hear his reply to the calumnies of
which he had been the object during his absence.
His defence, which was pronounced with ener-
gy and with a tone of earnest conviction, pro-
duced deep impression on the audience, on a
great number of women who were present, on
the members of the bar who had thronged to
hear the trial, and even the Magistrates them
selves, several Of whom could not conceal their
emotion.
Finally after celebrating two hours in the
Council Chamber, the Court annuled the judg-
ment condemning M. CADET. This decision and
acquittal was received with great satisfaction,
and is genuine triumph for NJ CADET. 1t will
no doubt greatly increase his influence, and fur
ther the progress of his American Colony.

THE PROPOSED RAILROAD TO LAKE SUpERIoR.
The Keokuk Dispatch says that Lieutenant
Simpson, who is in command of the United
States engineers now engaged in roads for Min
csota territory, has lately returned from a trip
of reconnaissance to Fon du Lac of Lake Supe-
ror. He is instructed to survey road between
that point and Point Douglass. Mr.. Simpson
says that the face of the country, all along the
route, is highly favorable for railroad improve
ments. The cost of bridging streams and level
ing, will be very small. This road can be con-
struced cheaper, no doubt, than any other in tho
country. The rails can be made at the Lake Su-
peror iron mills-thus saving the cost of trans
portation.

IRAGEDY.-Ihe last letter from The Euro
pean correspondent of the st. Louis Repubh-
can is unusually interesting. From it we ex-
tract the following tragic incident at Verona,
Italy:
"On the 18th of June, ut nine o'clock in the
evening, M. Evangelist, Chancellor of the Grim
inal Tribune, (Which believe means kind of
sheriff0 and a friend Of his Holiness, Plus TX,
was assassinated in the street, as he was about
entering the house of friend. Mr. Evangelis-
ii, celebrated for the violence of his character,
treated the political prisoners under his charge
with the greatest cruelty. Among others i'm
prisoned for political offences was man, young,
of excellent character and family, and the hus-
band of beautiful, devoted wife. He had been
in prison several months, suffering every pri-
walton and cruelty, and causing the most heart.
rending anxiety to his young wife, She had
been, again and again, to Evangelist, and on
her knees implored him to intercede for the re-
lease of her husband. His answer was always
the same; he would grant her request, but on
" on one condition, condition which always
made tie beautiful woman bow her head in
shame, and leave the monster in despair. At
last her husbands sufferings were increased,
and his state of health became alarming; the
poor wife could bear it no longer, once more

husbands pardon in her hand, and with dishon-
or branded upon her brow. But she was a Ro-
man, and she did not forget the example of her
ancestors. For the next day her husband was
free, but when the shadows Of night fell over
the city, the wife who had offered herself up n
sacrifice for him she loved, watched, alone, in
the street, for her destroyer. Evangelist left
his house, but saw not who followed him, knew
not until he felt a dagger in his heart; then, as
he looked up, he saw two black eyes, which he
knew, even in their fury, as they gazed an in
slant upon him from out the hood or a mans
cloak. The next morning, in one of the small
rooms of the public bath house of Genoa, the
dead body of the devoted wife was found She
had brought the tragedy to its most terrible
point, by ending her own life.
"The Pope, it is related, wept when he heard
the melancholy death of his dear friend and
officer, Evangelist, and crowds gathered round
his coffin and begged to see his face, and the
brilliant cortege followed him to his tomb, but
heart-broken husband and a motheress child
were all who accompanied to its last resting
place, the body Of Evangelisti's victim.
"Never, it is said has the persecution of po-
litcal prisoners been so great in Italy, as at this
time, and murmurs loud and deep against the
Pope, are again rising from all quarters, and
that the first news of disturbance in France
Italy would once more make an effort for her
disenthralment from papal power"

The steamer Trojan, plying between New

waters edge on the 9Th inst. Three men out
of the crew of twelve were burnt 10 DEATH
The remainder were saved The boat was val
ued at $4,000 insured for $4,000. The
Captain (Rodman,) barely escaped with his life;
one of his feet having been dreadfuly burned,
and the hair singed off his head. In order 10
save his money, the captain brought his trunk
on deck through the flames, but had TO abandon
it there, and escape to the shore by a line. 1t
contained one thousand dollars, in gold, silver,
and bank bills. The trunk was burned, and so
intense was the heat that the specie was fused
into mass, and about two hundred and fifty
dollars worth saved. Daily Wisconsin
