Incidents IN the Life Of a Pastor. By LILLIAN
Wisner, ID. ID. Nep York: Charles .Scrt5ner,
1845. col 12mo.-This volume, the author
informs us, is made up of the incidents in life
which has been worn out in efforts to promote
the temporal and eternal well-being of those
TO whom it is dedicated--the members of the
congregations over which he has presided az
pastor. These incidents extend over period
Of more than thirty years.
The objects Of the author are avowed to be
to assist and encourage younger brethren in
their labors Of love with their dying fellow
men, and to aid awakened sinners in finding
their way to Christ.
The subjects treated are very numerous, and
the reader passes through them all in agreeable
and profitable intercourse with the good and
venerable pastor, and cannot control the rising
wish that pastors generally would treasure up
this kind of experience for the instruction Of
their fellow-men. This world wears many as
poets, all depending upon the points from which
it is viewed; and the honest observer, whose
position is favorable, should add power to the
vision Of those less favored. DIR. Wisner has
done so; and In this little volume he has hap
PLY prolonged his influence for good in the
world.

.AHornER SUICIDE. A young and accom-

from ear to ear at Brooklyn, New York, the

This thing Of cutting ones throat or an old

matter, and therefore worthy Of cool reflection.

day to consider them. We have often escaped
dangers by remembering this rule; and when
W hsvs forgotten il We have had occasion to
rspsnt the forgetfulness. Persons who msdi-

EURoPE.-Austria, says New York paper,
by the advances of the Emperor to absolutism
of the most barbarous sort, is rapidly drifting
onward to another revolution. France is but a
smouldering heap of combustibles a spark at
any day may ignite the whole mass, and set
Europe again in blaze. The condition of
Switzerland and Italy, all Italy, is revolutionary
and, in fact, the Emperor Nicholas is wise in
his preparations for European war. The Sui
tan has resolved finally, and Kossuth is doubt
less now free. We shall, with the next arrival,
expect intelligence still more pointed and i'm
portant. The reaction, if we mistake not, has
actually commenced. Europe is only waiting
for France.

The MURDER OF YOUNG MUNDELL.-Our ac-
count of this distressing incident, yesterday,
was written before the result of the inquest
was known, and before the facts had been fully
and accurately developed. We therefore avail
ourselves of the later and more authentic state
ment given by the Intelligencer. The murdered
boy is by every one spoken of as most exem-
plary, handsome, and generous youth, and his
death is much lamented. The htelligencer says:
at appears that party consisting of three
men and two boys, all attached to the Marine
garrison, proceeded on a cunning excursion.
There were but three guns. William Wells, a
private in the Marine corps, was extremely de-
sirous to obtain from Samuel Mundell, the de-
ceased, his fowling- piece, which was repeatedly
refused. On their arrival at the grounds of
Mr.. Atkinson, an alteration ensued between
Wells and young Mundel, during which the
latter raised his gun in menacing position
when Wells sprung towards him, seized the
piece with one hand, raised it as if he intended
to knock the boy down, then fell back o short
distance, cooked it, took deliberate aim and
fired, lodging the contents of the gun in the
left side of young Mundells neck, breaking the
collar-bone severing the arteries, and cutting
the windpipe In two. The boy died instantly.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Woodward, the
coroner, held an inquest, which resulted in the
rendition Of the following verdict: That the
said Samuel Mundell, aged fourteen years,
came to his death by gun-shot wound in the
left shoulder, fred from gun in the hands of
William Wells, marine, on the evening of
: Wednesday, September IL, 1851; the said
Wells having fred at the said Mundell whilst
under the influence Of passion the said gun
being wrested from the hands of said Mundell
| by Wells previous to his firiup'n
DEATH AT THE RAILROAD STAT1os.--A coro-
ner's inquest was held last evening, at the
freight office, over the body Of Washington
Lewis, aged about forty years, whose residence
was at Beltsville, in Prince Georges county,
Maryland. 1t appeared from the testimony Of
witnesses that, after the locomotive, attached
to which were the baggage and freight cars, had
started, at FIVE o'clock in the afternoon, for the
purpose Of connecting with the passenger cars,
the deceased ran with view Of getting on the
front Of the baggage car. He succeeded in
grasping the railing, and apparently placed one
foot on the steps, whom he slipped and was
dragged between the cars. Three wheels had
passed over him, and the fourth was resting on
his body, when, an alarm being given, the cars
were stopped; and this was effected as soon as
possible.
The jury believe that he thus came to his
death, and that no blame 10 attached to any one
connected with the cars. The man was nearly
cut in two, and one leg entirely separated from
his body Even several articles of hardware,
such AZ chisels, in bis pockets, were broken into
Fragments. II was given in evidence that he
was steady and industrious man, had a family,
was miller and blacksmith, and had been on Q
visit 70 the city 70 make purchases. Republic

DEATH OF Rev. LEVI r. REEsE.--The Balti-

this distinguished minister Of the Methodist
Protestant Church died, after short illness, at

shore Of Maryland, whittier he had gone on
visit. Mr. Reese had the honor Of being selected
at several sessions as one of the Congressional
Chaplains. He was twice elected President of
the Maryland Conference, and in every station
to which he was called he brought with him a
mind well stored with practical knowledge, and
firm determination to discharge the duties
imposed upon him with fidelity to those by
whom he had been selected.
