Features Of the Presidents.

The Boston Mail thinks Mr.. Fillmore
the best looking man among all the Presi.
dents. Washington was grave, severe,
austers )" he WAS man to win respect,
but he was BY no means handsome in per-
son. Tho frst Adams was obese. Jefferson
was marked too prominently by the leading
features of the face. Madison looked dull
and stupid. Monroe had a phiz full of
good humor, but his nose was too near the
color of the wine interdictcd by the scrip
lures because it WIS red. The second
Adams was hard subject to describe any
way. jackson resembled two hickory
slaves, set up edgewise he was the hardest
featured man in the whole crowd. Van
Buren wac (or is) complaisant and smirk-
ing, but foxy and subtle; he had not the
opennsss of countenance without which no
man can be good-looking. Harrison had
his skin shaken up into all sorts Of wrin-
kles by the sgues Of the Miami. John
Tyler was nobody, and nothing showed
it more plainly than his face. Polk was
"some pumpkins" and rather . fair man
to look at,if you would stop thinking while
you looked. Taylor had pleasant,
agreeable, kind and benignant countenance,
yet he was homely as original sin. But
Fillmore is really and truly good looking
man in every sense of the word.

Mx. WrBsrEa's HABITS or LrE.-
Mr.. Webster was sixty-nine years old
last February. During the whole active
period oihis life, he has risen very early,
and does so still-oltener up before five
o'clock than after il, and getting through
more work before the majority OF law
yers and Statesmen have breakfas,ed
than most Of the better sort Of them do
in the whole day. In the summer sea-
son, when he is at Marshfeld or at
Franklin. he is generally out among his
fine cattle, for his pleasure and health,
by four o'clock in the morning and in
the course Of the forenoon he often walks
more miles, with his gun on his shoulder
or catches more fish, than most young
sportsnien can in twice the time. His
spirits are generally fresh, and, for his
years, gay, except when anxious about
the business ofthe country; his external
senses are unimpaired; he is as quick
Of hearing az he ever was-much more
SO than some men like to have him /;
and he can read the finest print, without
spectacles, as he could at twenty. In
short, his physical powers are preserved
10 degree most ertrdoi dindry, consider
ing his age and as to his intellectual
faculties, his marvellous memory, the
promptncss with which he can command
all his vas. resources, his wise judgment
of affairs, his massive power-never so
formidable as when assaiIed-all these
are untouched, and fll with wonder all
who approach him.

uT The notorious, convicted traitor
Tom. Dorr, in his paper, the Providence
Herald, Of Saturday last, discharges a
volley OF States Prison slang at the ed
i,or Of this paper, without attempting TO
disprove any ofour assertions as 10 the
pretended packi, & Of the jury which
tried and honestly convicted him. We
have nothing further to say to this iel-
low, as he occupies the same position
in the community AS any other miser-
able and depraved scoundrel whose in
famous con .uct has sunk him far below
the level OF all decency. He charg
us with being anxious to have a contro-
versy with him ! This 10 almost too RI
dicucus to notice. In the first place, no
man Of ordinary common sense would
undertake to hold an Wgumen, with
Dorr, for he has more obStinacy than
hog. and is not so easily convinced as
the last named animal. But, aside from
this, the fellow hatters and honors him
self exceedingly by supposing that We
are 80 devoid Of scll-respec, as TO dream,
for one instant ofcarrying on dispute
with the graduate OF States Prison
we have TO fancy for such society but
if We had we could select from any
States Prison in the country, any mum
Der Of better men than Tom. Dorr, for
ihis purpose. A more idle, despicable
and depraved scoundrel never lived
and the gallows has too long been
cheated out Of a ripe and deserving So
jcct, by his existence on the earth.

o. On Saturday last man, about 35
years Of age, called at the house OF DR..
Cummings in Roxbury, Mass, and sta
ted that he was poor and wished em-
ploymcnt. The DR.. told him to saw
some wood in the yard, which he did I;
after this be went into the house and
desired to dry his feet. He was permit
ted TO sit by the fire, and after remain
ing there short time, he jumped up
and ran across the room to Mrs. Cum
mings and seized her child, about 3
years old, from her arms and, draw
ing razor from his pocket, cut its
throat from ear TO ear. He then attemp-
ted to kill the mother, but she escaped,
with the body OF the child in her arms /;
the man succeeded in cutting her COLI
siderably before she could get out Of
tho house. He pursued her into the
yard, where he was met by man who
stopped him. At this moment he bran
dshed the razor in the air, and then
cut his own throat, and dropped down
dead. 1t is supposed that he was in
sane. 1t is thought tha, his name was
Edmund Daggctt, Jr., and that he be-
Iongcd in Hope, Maine. DR.. Cummings
returned home in the midst Of the con-
fusion, just as the horrible deeds had
been committed.
