Cass AND BUCHANAN.-The luminosity be-
tween the friends of these two gentlemen in
Pennsylvania induces some of the old line
Democrats to propose that they both be dropped,
in order to produce harmony in the party. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says: Gas in 1874, when
a similar state of things existed, both gentlemen
should be dropped and third taken up" 1t
would doubtless be prudent to extinguish their
homes before the election, to save defeat after
wards.

hpkLPhi HAIL. OAKLAND CoLLKsE Miss,
Whereas, We are called together tc mourn the
death Of beloved brother, cut off in the spring
time of life; of one who by his high-toned senti-
ments and manly bearing won the esteem of all
who knew him. of one who contributed much to
place our Society in its present position; of one
with whom are associated many pleasing remins-
cences OF one on whom many hopes of future
usefulness rested and of whom the memoirs of the
Adelphi Institute were justly proud
But all the love of friends, all the wealth Of
talents and noble virtues could not stay the hand
of death, and William E. II. Griffith is no more.
The deceased became a student of Oakland Col
lege in l84l and graduated in 1886 with The high.
est honOrs of his class lie subsequently studied
and praciiced the profession of Law, and by his
talents babe fair 10 adorn the noble profession
which he had chosen.
He closed his brief but brilliant career at the
home of his grandfather, the Hon. Edward Turner,
of Franklin county, Mississippi, on the 81 day OF
this month, aged "a years.
In view of this affecting dispensaton of Divine
Providence, the members of the Adelphi Institute
have assembled TO deplore his early doom.
Therefore be 1t resolved, That we deeply sympa-
thiZe with the relations and friends of the deceased
in this bereavement.
ResoiUed, That n testimony of love and res.
pect for our deceased brother, we wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be
sent to the relatives of the deceased and that the
Port Gibson Herald, Natchez Courier, Concordia
lnlelligencer and New Orleans papers, be respect
fully requested to publish the same.

Terrible Explosion and Loss Of Life in jersey
City.-At Jersey City, few days ago, a pvrolech-
nical establishment in that city, in Canal sieeet
| near Barrow. was suddenly blown into fragments
Mr. James Dawes, owner of the laboratory, who
was at work in the establishment at the time OF the
explosion, was blown some distance in the air,
every article of clothing being torn from his body
with the exception of one boot. Mr.. Dawes was
seen, after the explosion, to walk about twenty
yards, when he FELL and expired shortly afterwards
The body of the unfortunate man was burnt as
black as coal, his eyes were blown out, and his
face horribly mutilated. Deceased leaves a wife

Der of L'Echo d'Italia says:
"The newspapers from Europe prognosticate
great troubles at the approach of 1852 on account
Of the election of the second President Of the
French Republic. Some foresee civil war among
the different political parties; some revolution
and terrible slaughter by the Red Republicans,
that social democratic ideas may triumph and no,
few are afraid Of general European war, in
which either the independence of the people, or
despotism, must triumph all over Europe.
In the United States, on the contrary, every
thing goes on in the greatest calm and in perfect
tranquility The different political parties are
naming their candidates for the Presidency and
no disorder no revolution, no bloodshed, is to be
feared for our great nation and free people. What
