KNowLEDGE.-"Onef fountain there is,
says Miss Bremen, "whose deep vein has
only jus: begun to throw up its silver
drops among mankind-a fountain which
will allay the thirst of millions, and will
give to those who drink from it peace and
Joy. It is knowledge; tho fountain of in
tellectual cultivation, which gives health
to mankind, makes clear his vision, Brings
Joy to his life. and breathes over his soul S
destiny deep repose. Go and drink
therefrom, thou whom fortune has not
favored, and thou will soon feel thyself
rich! Thou mayest go forth into the
world and find thyself everywhere at
home; thou canst cultivate thyself in
thine own little chamber; thy friends are
ever around thee, and carry on wise con-
versation with thee-nature, antiquity,
heaven, are accessible to thee"

MURDER AND ARSON IN WORCESTER
COUNTY, MARYLAND.--A letter dated
Salisbury May 8, in the Baltimore Patri-
OF, says:
in Worcester county, about twelve
miles from this place, the house Of Mr..
Curtis Dixon was burned and his wife
burned in it, and it is supposed she was
murdered first. The circumstances, as
near as can learn them. are as follows:
All the family, except Mrs. Dixon. had
left home, and, about nine o'clock, Mr..
Jarmin. a near neighbor. went out into
the yard and discovered Dlxon's house
on FIRE, but before he arrived, the flames
had progressed SO far that he could not
get into the house. He saw Mrs. Dixon
lying on the floor, apparently dead. A
gun was afterwards found lying in the
yard. but not yet been identified, and no
clue has been got of the guilty parties.
understand suspicion attaches to some
connexion of the unfortunate woman, hut
we hope it is not true.

Ely, was made the occasion Of deal Of

Mr. Bradford moved that the word
Ely be changed to Ulic. Lost.

Qncreased laughter)

YoUNG LADY SHor.-A deplorable ac-
cident occurred at Churchville, near Ko-
chester, n. Y, recently. The particulars
the Rochester Daily Advertiser:
A young man by the name of Alvin
Potter, and a Miss Matilda Lyon, to-
gether with number of others. were all
in room having quite jolly time in the
way of play, when Miss Lyon remark ed
that she was afraid of the gun which
stood in the corner of the room, and
would remove it to another part ot DE
house.
Young Potter, desiring to have little
sport on the occasion took the rifle from
Miss L. after some exertion. whereupon
quite spirited scuffie ensued. Potter
ran to one corner of the room and loosely
said to the young woman, "Now. if you
come near me. I'll shoot you"!' Miss L.,
not anticipating the leas. danger. followed
him, when Potter. pointing the gun at
her head. pulled the trigger-the con-
tents of the rifle were discharged. The
ball struck the young woman npon the
right side of the nose, and passsd through
her head, lodging in the back part Of the
neck. Potter. nor any one present. had
not the least idea of the gun being load
ed. from the fact that but a short time
before the accident, they saw Potter's
father take the gun apart for the purpose
Of cleaning it. and did not suppose that
the rife had been loaded by MIR. P. after
he cleaned it.
The young lady. we are Informed by
DIR. Creig, is now in very critical cou-
dtion, aud cannot live but short time
Both of her jaws are badly broken, and
face seriously disfgured. Immediately
after the accident occurred, young Potter
became frantic with grief-ran from
home, and has not yet returned to his
fathers residence, where Miss Lyon now
lies, enduring the most excruciating pain.
This fair ought to serve as lesson to
the careless and unthoughtful,

SHIP LOAD OF ELEPHANrs--The bark
Regatta arrived yesterday from India,
freighted with nine living elephants, a
zebu. or Burmese bull, sixteen enormous
serpants. including brace of boa-con-
strictors of "a and l6 feet in length, be-
sides wilderness of monkeys, the fret,ed
porcupine, and other live vurnli,itS all
consigned TO Messrs p. Z. Barnum
aud Seth B. Howes, intended for the
great Museum Caravan to be exhibit
ed in Newark on Tuesday 9th. One of
the most curious features of this Noah's
Ark collection is calf elephant, about
nine months old, aud weaned from its
dam on the passage from Ceylon. be-
ing but three feet high. and as docile and
playful as kitten. Another is one OF
the native chiefs Of Ceylon. who accom-
panies the show in charge of the ele-
plants. This enterprise, the greatest
probably. since the days of the Flood, mas
been conducted aud brought to a success
full issue by Messrs Stebbins, June and
Geo. Natter. The elephants were hunt
ed and caught in their native jungles by
Messrs. June and Nutter. accompanied
by 16U of the natives. Their capture
was effected by driving 250 of them into
kroul. or rude pen constructed in the
Jungle which they succeeded in securing
thirteen-two having died on the passage
and another being stolen from the drove.
The Regetta has made her passage home
Q3,0Q0 milesl stopping at the cape OF
Good Hope and the Island Of ST. Helena
in 1l2 days. The elephant hunters were
three lRonths and four days in the iungles
before they effected their objects.

INTER- OCEANIC COMMUNICATION In a
curious work published in London in
1862, by Thomas Jefferys, rapher to
his majesty, MIR. Jefferys tells us it was
the instruction of the King Of SPAN to
the Governor of St. Johns castle, not to
permit any British subject to pass either
up or down Lake Nicaragua; for "if ever
the English came to knowledge Of its
importance and value, they would soon
make themselves masters of this part of
the country" This passage is quoted in
an article in the Edinburg Review as
long ago as 1909, in which the writer
dwells with no little enthusiasm on the
prospects which the complexion of An
inter-oceanic canal would open to the
world. 'Inmense," says that journal,
"woud be the traffic which would imme-
dlately begin 10 cover that ocean, by de-
nomination Pacific. All the riches Of
India and of China would move towards
America. The riches of Europe and
America would move towards Asia
Vast depots would be formed at the great
commercial towns WHICH would immedl
atelY arise at the two eXtremties OF
the central canal; the goods would be i'll
a course of perpetual passage from the
one depot to the other. and could be re-
ceived by the ships as they arrived which
were prepared to convey them to their
ultimate destination"

IMPORTANT DlscovARY IN AFRICA-A
Hungarian savant. M. Gaysa, who is now
travelling in the interior of Western At
rca, has sent communication to the
Imperial Society of Vienna, containing
information of great interest. He has
found among the Kommenis, a small
tribe tributary to the kingdom Of Quill in
Senegambia. traces of Jacques Compag-
non, a trench traveller. charged by Nj. de
Choiseul toward the middle of The last
century with voyage of exploration in
to the interior Of Africa, who disappeared
in 1-60, and was not afterwards heard
from.
Wishing to complete the discoveries
which had been made by his brother
some years before, Jacques Coppagnon
left Senegal toward the end of the year
1888. and after visiting all the tribes to
the nortlward and eastward Of Senegam-
bia, penetrated as far as the Desert of
Simbual. very curious point for geo.
graphical science. Nothing was heard
Of him aler March, 1867, and all the re-
searches Of the Governor of the French
post of SAINT Louis proved utterly fruit
less.
The konmenis are partially civilized
people. Tfey have notions of religion
which resemble Christianity. and are
not entirely ly\ignorant of the arts and
sciences. TEey have a language, an al
phabet, and the art Of writing. NJ
Gaysa has discovered in one of their
principal villages small stone monu-
inert Of couic shape. covered with nu-
merous inscriptions in letters resembling
hieroglyphic chancters.
After having studied this curious con-
struction, and after iuterrogating the old.
est inhabitants of the country, and learn
ing the popular tradition, he became con
vinced that thus monument is erected
over the grave of jacques Compagnon,
who being made captive by the Kom.
mems. instructed them in the principles
Of all the useful arts, and died about
the year l775, leaving among them the
venerated reputation of a sage and
good gepins. But the conviction of NJ
Gaysa was turned into certainty when
the chief of the tribe showed him Yari-
Gus articles Of European manufacture,
which have been handed down from faith
er to son, and which they are unwilling
to part with at any price. Among
these he saw quadrant, on which was
engraved the name of Jacques Compag
non.
M. Gaysa, who is great traveller, de-
signs TO continue his explorations in AZ
RIGA for many years.
