Mrs. Seebuger, of that place, was taken ill.,
His mother, seeing him in such agony. was to-
tally unnerved; and the neighbors coming in,
and seeing her very great excitement and dis
tress, insisted that she should lie down on the
bed, telling her that the little boy would be
better Mrs. s. accordingly lay down, aud
those present left the room a few moments to
attend 10 the boy, but when they came to her
bedside afterwards they found her corpse
All the means resorted TO failed TO restore her
to life, and she evidently died from fright.

The SWAN or AFRIcA.--A new impulse is
about to be given to the musical Juror. new
candidate for fame in the world of song has
arisen in the West. 1t is a bird of African ex-
traction, though not exactly black bird and
she has spread her wings under the euphonious
title of the /" Black Swan" Her real, earthly
name is Eliza Greenfield. She is a colored girl,
belonging to Buffalo, N. ", where she is max
ing preparations for her debut. She has sur
prised and delighted those-who have heard her,
and is said to possess voice of great purity
and hexibility, and extraordinary compass
singing notes in alto with briliancy and sweet
ness, and descending to the bass notes with
power and volume which is perfectly astonish-
ing. The Buffalo Commercial of Saturday last
says:
The Black Swan gave a rehearsal yester-
day afternoon at Townsend Hall. Those who
heard her, came, we believe, to the unanimous
conclusion that she was next to Jenny Lind, at
least in her vocal powers. She has great
compass of voice-rising and falling from the
highest to the lowest tones, with the greatest
ease and rapidity, with 'intonations softly
sweet, and anon thrilling and startling We
understand that she will give concert in this
city at an early day-probably next week"

to them his opinion that the movement was an
impolitic one, and which would not probably
ultimately result i'll lettering their condition.
Mr.. W. casts no direct blame on his men for
their course, but sincerely regards the move
ment as one by no means OF prudent nature.

cerely hope the men will have the frankness to
stand up to their interests Ten hours is long
day to men who labor; and when they perse-
we're in the .trankncss of demanding it, it is
always better for them, and it has always
proved so. Labor is the only wealth in the
markets of the world. All other things possess
the value labor gives them, and nothing more
Laborers, therefore, should strive to become
the monopolists, and this will effect no wrong,
since the worst result will be the greatest bless
ing, viz: the compelling every man to do his
own share of work. That is the condition of
society III which every man will be happy, and
the will of God fulfilled.
