The Ren OF safety.

| In Dickens HoueshoId Hords is an interesting
account OF a visit to silver mine in Saxony.
| twelve hundred feet beneath the surface Of the
earth The following is an extract
''We follow our guide across a dusty space to-
! wards wooden building With a conical roof !;
and approach it, we become conscious of
rather than hear, the sweet melancholy sound
of bell, which, at minute intervals, tones
drearniy through the air. Whence comes that
square box, open at the top; and Immediately
above hangs the small bell thence comes tho
slvegy voice.
For what purpose ia this bell . we inquir.
of our guide
1T is the bell Of safety
Does it sound a warning %
'No--the reverse its silence gives the warn
ing. The bell is acted upon by large water
wheel, immediately below the surface By
means of this wheel, and others at greater
depths, the drainage of this mine is Effected
If, by any means, these water-wheels should
cease to act, the bell would cease TO sound; and
the miners would hasten to the day, for no man
could tell how soon his working might be food
ed
'And can it be heard throughout the mine y
Through this portion of it. Probably the wa
ter acts as Conductor of the sound, but the
miners listen earnestly for its minute tolling'
Toll on, thou messenger of comfort May
thy voice ever tell of safety to the haggard toll
er, deep in the earth"

TEE CASE OF DAyrD JEWEL.
New Trial Rofusea--Prisonsr Sentenced.

In the Pittsburg Court OF Oyer and Terminer,
yesterday morning Dec. 24th, Judge Mcclure
/ real an elaborate decision in the matter of the
application for new trial in the case of David
Jewel. The points made by the defendants
counsel in objecipg to the verdict eigh-
teen in number each one Of which was met and
answered by his Honor. The objections were
overruled, and the Court unanimously decided
that a new trial should not be granted.
Judge Shaler, counsel for Jewell, then made
motion in arrest of Judgment, and filed his
reasons for so doing, which were, that the
names of two jurors had been Incorrectly stated
in the ShcrifT's rolls. The Court ordered the
objections to be entered on the docket, AMI i'm
rnediately proceeded to pass sentence upon the
prisoner as follows:
His Honor said: DAVID JEwELL, ''Haye you
''apytLipg to say why sentence Of death should
.'not be passed upon yeu:"
The prisoner answered: Il have nothing
''furtl.er to say, only, that am not guilty of
s'tae crime OF 17lr;at am aceused'
Judge Mcclure proceeded:
'tDAvID JEwELL-You have been indicted and
.'found guilty Of murder in the first degree-of
'.the murder of Samuel Mitchell. 1t now re-
''nains but to pronounce the solemn sentence of
''the law, which sentence Of the law is, that you
''be taken hence to the place from whence you
''came and from thence to the place of execu-
''ton, and there be hanged by the neck until
''you are dead, and may God have mercy upon
''your souI.'
The prisoner was then removed, and the Court

Er. webste.,s Cerebral organs.

We have seen it stated that a post mortem ex-
animation Of Mr.. Webster was made n day or
two after his death. The Boston Courier fur
nishes the following relative to that great man. s
cerebral organs
eve understand that at recent meeting Of
q medical society some of the most striking re
suits Of this examination were stated, and for
med the subject of an interesting scientific dis
cussion. The cerebral organs were of the very
largest known capacity, exceeding by thirty per
ceutunl the average weight Of the human brain;
and~witi only two exceptions, (Cuyier and Du
puytren) The largest Of which there is any on
record. 1t Is also worthy Of remark that a well
marked efTusion upon the Arachnoid membrane
was discovered in these investigations, although
there were no perceptible evidences of any le-
sion during Mr.. Wcbster's lifetime. 1t is sup
posed to have been caused by his severe fall
from his carriage in Kingston last spring. It is
remarkable physiological fact that an injury
which would have impaired the intellect, if not
ut once caused death, in another, should in this
instance have been attended with SO little ex-
tcrnal evidence of so important an injury to a
vital organ"

Eensocratic Eseio.cfng,

In the midst of the general JOY and rejoicing
over the great Democratic triumph that has res
uited in the election Of Gen. PIERCE, we cannot
too forei5ly impress on the minds of our friends
the following extract from the speech of Presi-
dent Pierce to the Granite Club OF Concord, on
the receipt of the news from Pennsylvania in
October. After alluding to the victory he said
'.He trusted his friends would not forget that,
with high-toned and honorable men, the hour of
triumph was always the hour of magnanimity.
1t was not to be overlooked, that there were a
round us many with whom we are ia daily in
tercourse, at tits moment moved by feelings ex-
actly the opposite of those which called out the
assembage before him and his friends could
well afford TO allow that circumstance to detract
somewhat; from their generous JOY. He hoped
that they would also remember that no prospect
of success, nor indeed political elevation ITSELF
could render their neghbor more or less worthy
of the confidence and affection for which he was
so profoundly grateful

And yibrates still to thee.

So thrilling, fond, or true,
But in my own heart have met
Some kinder thought for you.

The light upon your hair

The passing changes there

Although you need not say
a single word to dream upon
When that has died away.
Oh you are kindly as the beam
That warns where'er it plays,
And you are gentle as dream

Extraordinary Ferocity of a Horse.

a case of ferocity in a horse, rarely equalled,
has given rise to Law proceedings before the
courts eff Rouen, France. On the 9th of Nov
ember last, a farmer named Blanchard, Of YER
| Give, (Eure.) possessed horse, and in his pre-
sence, and with his consent, horse dealer nam
Lavoiperre sold it to farmer named Deaise-
ment, OF Coney. The next day Blanchard told
q young man in his service to convey the horse
to Delaisoment. The latter refused to receive
it, on the ground that he had learned that it was
vicious and dangerous. In returning, the horse
several times attempted to throw the young
man, and at length, becoming quite furious at
the restraint which the rider imposed upon him,
he bounded erect in the air, and succeeded in
getting him off his back. The animal then rush
ed on him, bit him in the breast, and tried to
trample upon him. The young defended
himself as well as he was able, but the horse
caught the flesh Of his thigh in his teeth, and
tore it of in the most savage manner leaving
the bone exposed. He then went some little
distance, and with his fore paws formed hole
of some depth; and then returning to his victim,
who was lying almost sensless on the ground, he
smelt around him, as If rejecting how he could
best drag him to the hole. Some noise, howev-
er struck his ear and he ganoped home. When
he arrived his mouth was stained with blood
and bits oe flesh were still adhering to it. The
young man, who was SO dreadfully treated, had
to have his leg amputated. lie subsequently,
brought an action against Blanchard, Delais-
ment and Lavoipierre, to recover damages
-<-~
YProminent among the causes of wounds
and death in modern times, may be regarded
the Introduction Of steam-trayelling, and the
imprudenee and folly ofpassengers getting in
and orr Of cars when the nam is in motion, and
So being thrown or falling under the wheels
or in passing from car to car over the platforms
at the ends of each, and falling through the
space between. Any inventions that viii pro-
tect life against these frequent and unusually
fatal disasters would be eminently serviceable
to the cause of humanity-and we really con-
gratulate the public on the fact that worthy
fellow citizen, John Bacon, Esq, has turned his
attention 10 the subject, and think, judging
from the examination of models, with a success
ful result. Along each side of the cars Mr.. Ba-
con places strong iron network from the
floor of che car almost to the ground, so that it
becomes utterly impossible for falling passen-
ger to get beneath the wheels; while at the end
platforms, and oveFsfhe open space between the
cars-he has constructed small horizontal
door, which, attachedby hinges, is placed in
stantly and at will over the dangerous opening,
and it is thus formed into a floor. These con-
triyances appear to be successful and perfect
while their greatest recommendation is their
simplicity.
