Boston. Oct. 25,

The Courier furnishes the following particu-
lars, in relation to Mr.. Websters death and bu-
rial The public are already informed of the
chief feature Of that interesting scene. Up to
the period when Mr.. Webster desired to take
leave of all who were in the house, one by one
in deep sorrow, but sustained by his own great
example. The members Of his family, and the
friends and attendants came in and took leave
of him. He desired them to remain near his
room, and more than once requested of those
present who were not of his immediate family,
not to leave Mansfield until his death had taken
place. Being assured by all that his every wish
would be religiously regarded, he then address
ed himself to his physicians, making minute en-
quires after his own condition and the probable
termination of his life.
Not receiving any definite answer, Mr.. Web
ster said suppose then must lay here quietly
till it comes. The vomiting now occurred again
DIR. Jeffreys offered to Mr.. Webster something
which he hoped might give him ease. The dig
nified statesman remarked-Dr., want restora-
ton. Between 10 and ii o'clock he repeated,
somewhat indistinctly, the words Poetry, Gray
Mr.. Fletcher. Webster repeated the first line
of the Elegy. 'The curfew tolls the knell of
parting day." That's it that's it, said Mr.. Web
ster. The book was brought, and some stanzas
were read to him, (which seemed to give him pleas
| ure
From IL to 9 o'clock there was much restless
ness but not much suffering. The physician
was quite confident that there was no actual
pain. A faintness occurred which led him TO
think his death was at hand. While in this con-
dition some expressions fell from him indicat-
ing the hope that his mind would remain to him
completely, till the last. He spoke of the diff.
fculty of the process of dying. When DR.. jeff
reys repeated the verse" Though walk thro'
the valley of the shadow of death, ] will fear no
evil, for Thou art with me-Thy rod and Thy
staff they comfort mes" Mr.. W. immediately
said" The fact, the fact; that is what want
Thy rod, Thy rod-Thy staff, Thy staff"
The close was perfectly tranquil and easy, and
occurred at twenty-five minutes before three o.
clock, as before stated. The persons present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher Webster, Mr. and
Mrs. Page, Mr.. S. A. Appleton, Miss Downs
Mr. Leroy, Edward Curtis, Peter Harvey, Geo
II. Curtis, Chas Hinny, Geo. J. Abbott, and w
E. Jentinger, of State Department, and Drs JEFF:
? freys and J. l.. Warren, the personal attendants
and domestcs of Mr.. Webster.
The funeral of Mr.. Webster, which it was tho'l
would take place on Tuesday, has been arrang

SUIcDE.-One Of tho most shocking sights
that can be imagined, was seen on Saturday
morning, in one of the Saloons on Randolph
street.
The corpse of man (whose name we omit
in order to avoid an additional pang TO his
friends) laid upon the floor, covered with his
clotted blood, and his face most dreadfully cut
and mangled.
He was by profession lawyer, and bad come
here from Southern city year or two since.
He was highly educated, and his department to
all was respectfully and gentemanly, for which
good qualities he was an invited guest at most
of the public dinners and suppers, to which he
contributed always portion of the intellectual
repast.
His death was caused by jumping through n
window in the third story of the building, in
a fit of derium tremens, and striking, head
first the pavement, his neck was disOcated, and
being taken up and carried into the house,
brealhed few times and expired.
How painful and heart-rending mast this cir
cumstance be to those parents who have rear
ed and educated sons for the honorable profess
sions of life, and see them day after alured in
TO these fascinating resorts for ruin, and there
to be piled with the poisonous drugs, which
destroy their intellect, which wean them from
all parental regard or control, and totally units
them from any and all the moral, social, or pub
lie duties of life. The reflection must indeed
be agonizing, and totally destroy the hopes and
happiness of many fond parent
The evil is growing in our midst-hundreds

The footsteps Of this one, the subject of these
remarks, and hundreds more have gone before
him in the same path.
What is the remedy! A political warfare

1t is demonstrated that they can command the
nun, rica strength, and political power to con-
quer in such conflict. Our mayors, Legisa-
tors, congressman, and indeed nearly all our
officials rely upon this element for success. and

kind of drinking material for the use of dema-
gogues and are thus enabled to defeat all re-
forms of the kind, through the medium Of poll
tics. Chicago Adv.

The melancholy news of Mr.. Webster's death
was announced in nearly all the churches, caus-

LAKE MICHIGAN FIsHERIEs.-Accident re-
Gently directed our attention TO the amount of
business now doing on Lake Michigan in the
single item of catching and packing fish. For
many years the Island of Mackinac was the on
ly point on the Northern Lakes where the white
fish and trout could be found, packed for trans
portaiion. So exclusive and so long was the
trade confined to that little Island that its
name was impaired TO them, and fish caught in
Lake Huron and Michigan at the present time
perhaps hundreds Of miles from it are now
known as "Mackinac White Fish or Trout"
while but 1.-THE of the whole number caught
are found near its shores A few Indians, or
half breeds until within few years past, were
chiefly depended upon for the limited annual
supply, which was only sufficient to give them
a bare support. Others who engaged in the
business, though not combining themselves ex.
clusively to it, have cleared therein large sums
of money. Gradually, and almost insensibly,
the fishing trade has increased on the two lakes
mentioned, from thousands Of barrels o tens of
thousands annually, and no less than from 8 to
10000 persons are employed in or directly de-
pendent upon the fisheries Of Lake Michigan
alone. There is district in the south end of
this lake, embracing the Islands bays and main
land, extending North and South about seventy
year not less than $4,000 barrels of fish, which
will command in market about $50 900 dollars.
Those not acquainted with the extent of this
trade, the amount will appear enormous, and
yet as large as it has proven, it is conducted in
manner that will not permit it to yield by at
least twenty-five per cent, that profit which il
could be made to yield. Those engaged in it
are generally men of small means, who are not
able to provide themselves, after procuring nets,
boats, &c, with the supplies necessary for their
support during the fishing season. Hence they
are made dependent upon the fitfu visits of n
sail vessel, prompted to their grounds occasion
ally to turn penny. Chicago Tribune.
THE CALoRIc SHIP.-The advantages claim
ed for the Caloric engine and their apparent va
lidity, are thus considered by recent visitor to
the ship:
Z" Economy of space A moments nspec-
ton justfes and admits this claim.
2. Safety from explosion and accident This
too is undeniable.
3./Ventilation of the entire ship. This, also
seems indisputable.
| n. Economy in first. The engine is about
Hequal in cost to steam-engine, and hence saves
the cost of boilers, having no use for them.
8. Economy in running, requiring but one
| fifth the men. This remains to be proved.
6. Lastly and chiehy--economy in fuel ordi-
narily consumed by steam engines Of equal
power. This remains to be proved"

CUBA.

We have taken occasion to say that We be-
lieved that the wing administration would do
nothing for the protection Of our citizens and
commerce at Havana. The New York Herald,
of the 2lst, says:
"The Secretary of the Navy, Mr.. John p.
Kenedy has ordered Capt. Porter, of the steam
er Crescent City, TO proceed to Washington
and give an account ofhis recent transactions at
Havana. Itis understood that, at the request
of the Spanish Minister, the President and Cab
met have disapproved Of The course pursued by
Capt. Porter, and are determined to withdraw
him to sea Immediately. Should the ntelli-
gence detailed by our correspondent prove cor
rect by which we have not the least doubt, it
will raise storm ofindignation throughout the
country unparalleled in The history of any ad-
minsiration. The people, from one end of the
Union to the other, will sustain Capt. Porter in
his manly resentment Of the insult offered to
our national hag--ihe President and his cabinet
to the contrary notwithstanding
o, shame shame, on party who thus meek
y submit to aggression. Poor, tame towards,
who live by begging favor of their oppressors
The people Of the U. S. are disgraeed by such
conduct. II is not their will that we should sub
init to insult ond injury for the most miserable
government on the face Of the Globe.
Capt Porter is TO be disgraced for doing
his duty, because the Spanish Minister demands
it. Shame shame let every American cry at
the conduct Of the wing party, who now dis
grace the Administration Of the Republic

A writer says that the widow Of the great
Mormon leader, Joe Smith, is married to tav-
ern-keepcr who keeps his rum-mill in Smiths
old residence, in Nauvoo that one-half of the
houses built by the Mormons are torn down,
and the other half are tenantless; and that out
of the former 10000, there are now only about
200 Mormon population left About 400 French
Socialists own great part Of the city, including
the ruins of the temple Elk. paper
The Cincinnati Atlas adds; "Tbe rum. mill ,
is the same old hotel that Joe Smith kept in his
day. For Joe had so many visilers to entertain
that he found it rather expensive and opened a
large hotel, where in his lifetime he furnished
g. entertainment for man and beast" After his
death his widow, who by the way was never
very devout Mormon, kept the hotel on her "own
hook till she married her present husband, and
handed him over the keys Of The establishment.
The last time we visited Nauvoo, some time last
winter, it was the very picture Of desolation.--
The long table at the hotel had but some half
dozen guests seated at it and as we rambed
the deserted streets and gazed upon the tenant
less houses and dilapidaed temple, we could
not but pity the poor infatuated Mormons, who
have been prosecuted and driven from their
homes, not, we are sorry. to say, in every case
without cause. The site of Nauvoo is the most
beautiful on the Mississippi, and had the great
Yankee Mahomet and his followers acted more
prudently, it might now be the loveliest ard
most fourishing city in the far west, instead Of
the desolate and deserted place it is at present.

The wreck of the Atlantic on Lake Erie has
not yet been raised. The Oswego Journal says
that Mr.. Green is now constructing in Buffalo,
a new submarine armor, which will enable him
if necessary, to remain under water two hours
at the depth of the wreck, 1904 feet, which will
avoid the repetition of frequent ascents. The
same paper adds the following interesting facts
