A PERILoUs RIDE.-A young lady of CAM
bridge, Mass J named Mason, while sitting
in buggy which the driver had tempora@
rily left, was run away with by the horse,
who soon got to the top Of his speed. She
tried to stop him at first, in vain, and at
length attempted to Jump out,but at the mo-
ment of her leap, some part OF her dress
caught in the carriage and suspended with
her head resting on the axle between one
of the fore wheels and the vehicle, and her
feet dangling near the ground; and at times
dragging over the surface. In this position
she was carried nearly mile, the horse 60
ing at very rapid rate. About half way a.
cross the bridge, foot passenger jumped o.
yer the railing, and managed to stop the
horse. Those who from distance wititess'
ed the approach of the horse, supposed that
buffalo robe was hanging from the chaisc'
r. H. Dana, Esq, who happened 70 be pas
sing, rescued the lady from her fearful posi-
ton, but found it necessary to use knife to
cut the dress TO enable them to disengage
her.
She was perfectly senseless; her shoes
were gone, her stockings were worn off by
contact with the ground, and her feet bloody
from laceration. Strange to say, however,
she was not seriously injured, and will re-
cover.

A MISERABLE DEATH.-Somebody's son
has wandered from home--if he had one
and he met with a miserable and lingering
death among. .stangers at st. Louis, as appears
from the following account in the lntelligen-
Ger of June 8;
yesterday morning, about six O'Clock, on
removing a arpaulin from some freight on
the levce, near the foot of Pine street, a
young man apparently about eighteen years
of age, who hud been seen for some time past
wandering about in most miserable and
destitute condition, was found stretched out
upon the ground in u dying state. A few
minutes after being discovered he breathed
his last. He in all probability, died from
sickness brought on or materially enhanced
by exposure and want We are informed
that this unfortunate being has been wan
dering about the levee for some weeks past
in most wretcheed condition, suffering from
disease and destitute of the necessares Of
life We made diligent inquiry, but were
unable to learn his name, or any further par.
ticuars concerning him.

The YoUNG MEN OF THE AGE.--Not long
since we saw tear gathering in the eye OF
an old man, as he spoke Of the past and the
presrnt--of the time when he burned pine
knots upon the rude home earth for light To
obtain scaHty education, and then COM
pared the present ten thousand privileges
which are now scattered broadcast around
every door. Oh, said he in trembling tones,
the young men of this day do not appreciate
the light OF the age they live in. The words
Of the old man made us sad, while at the
same time we felt mortified that so many
of our young men fail toimprove the advan-
toges within their reach. They are even
continually muttering about their lot, and
pushing for position where they can win
ennoblng sacrifice of toll. The mist-clouC
employments Of day are eagerly sough
after, to the exclusion or neglect of th'
more honorable, intellectual and useful. II
truth few Of our young men know anything
of the value Of the privileges around them

RECKONING CHICKENS time
has not quite arrived for the election eggs
yet the New Hampshire Democrats are al
ready counting their chickens. The Con-
cord N. H., Statesman gives tho following
description ofthe state of affairs among the
expectants Of Office in that quarter:
A crazier set of people were never abroad
than some now found ut the capital of New
Hampshire. Foreign Ambassadors, Head
of Departments, Consuls, and Charges DAT
fairs, to say nothing Of heads of bureaus at
Washington, and the endless array of mi
nor officers, are as plenty as "leaves in Val
lambrosa."
It is the opinion of the Statesman that
there are at least fifty in Concord, who have
not slept wink since Friday night, so full
have their heads been Of embassadorshi ps,
and other golden visions--all to be realized
when Gen Pierce has the good luck to "get
in.,' It is cruel to spoil sport, but we can
not help quoting, for the edi6cation of these
ambassadors in embroyo, an old couplet
which we happen to recolleGt:
The man that once did sell the lions skin,
While the beast lived, was killed. with
hunting him.-BostOn Courier

OUR CANDInATE.-We to-day place at
the head Of our columns, the name Of Gen.
Winfield Scott, who has been selected by
the Wing National Convention, as ourstand-
ard bearer in the coming contest. We feel
satisfied, that his nomination will be received
BY the masses of the people, from every sec
ton of this glorious Union, as the man of
their choice; knowing as they do that his pa
triotism and love of country, viii ensure TO
them, that the honor and integrity the ma
ton will be maintained No one more pop
ular and worthy Of our support could have
been selected to fill the highest and most re-
sponsible position in the gift of the Ameri-
can people. Heis man of sterling worth
aud national character, and in the hour of
trial has stood by his country and his coun-
try's flag; never evading duty, never shrink
ing from responsibility.
Then let usrally with united energy a
round our faithful standard bearer, and victo-
ry, prosperity and peace will be the reward
of our efforts. The signs Of the times are
every way cheering. Notwithstanding in
the chosen representation of the party at the
Convention, each section had their favorite
man, but as Wings having the interest oftht
Union at heart, they will act on the Repub'
lican creed-the will of the majority rule
From the people, and them alone, can. th'
source of true sovereignty eminate..
Onward, to the contest, Wings, and mex
November you will have cause to rejoice in
glorious victory.
We have not yet received the nomina
of Vice President, but may before going t.
press, if SO, twill be placed under the Tele
graph head. We have no doubt but the Sc
lection will be good one.

ENTHUSIASM NOT OVER STRoNG.--The
Charleston IS. C.) Mercury accounts for the
absence ofany very intense filings of enthu-

Pierce and King, as follows;
"When party throws aside all its most
distinguished men, the only men capable of
giving consistency to its counsels and vigor
to its movements-when it disowns its lead
ers and representatives., and for motives of
Temporary advantage, crowns with the high
est honors obscure men, it ceases, and in any
respectable sense, to be party, and becomes
a mere herd ofspoilsmen. We have no am
bition to labor in such crowd" q

continued standing on the benches, not

man, noted for his good humor, arose and
said: 81 think if those ladies', standing on
the benches, knew they had holes in their

dress had the desired effect; there was an in

JAPANESE FUNERAL.--A letter from an
officer on board the U. s. ship St. Mary, da
ted Hilo, Byron's Bay, Sandwich Islands,
March, "a, says;--
"The old man, the captain Of the Japan
ese, died on the 2lst, the day we sighted land,
at fifteen minutes past 9P. M. He was ve-
nv well for three or four days after leaving
port, but became sick and got worse every
day after. He died as easy as an infant.
All he said was Thore, 'no more. They seem
satisfied at having him buried on land, We
mustered upa good funeral, We he'd two
boats crews, and about 200 Kanakas, of all
sexes, Joined us at the grave. Perhaps you
would like to know the way they buried him.
The evening he died they placed a pot DIVA
ter and pan of rice at his head; the rice was
to keep him from getting hungry, and the
water he could drink on his way to the land
of bliss. We gotta square box made Tor him,
instead of coffin. They placed him in a
sitting position in the box, and packed his
clothes and part ofhis bedding around him.
After placing him in the grave, every one
ofthe japanese sprinkled three drops offresh
water on him, and then laid hat on the top
of the box. We filled up the grave, and
then laid a pan of rice and spoon on the
grave, which they carried with them from
the ship. They had a head board made fol-
him, and are going ashore to-day to put il
over him. We viii sail from here in four OF

THE INVASION OF CUBA RUMoRs, &c.-A
Havana correspondent ofthe Tribune writes,
under date of May 30th;
"The excitement arising from q report to
the effect that preparations were being made
in the United States for the purpose ofinva-
ding this island, was considerably increased
by the Isabel, from Charleston, bringing, it
is said, dispatches to the Government, with
information that the invaders were about to
embark, or had done so. This news, which
was soon whispered about, with the active
preparations of army and navy, the consul
tations of the authorities, the sailing OF men-
of-war, &C., and other things done to meet
the danger, have added much to the anxiety
felt by all parties. When Ispeak of ex-
element, do not mean to say that which a
stranger could see, but such as person mix
ing and conversing with the community in
general can observe when such exists. |
make this remark that mistakes and contra
dctions may be avoided.
"The merchants and the SpGniards curse
the Fillibusters, but the Creole population,
at least in the cities wish their arrival, 1t
has been rumored that there has been ris-
ing in some part of the Island, but as some
five or six days have passed since the report
was first circulated, it is more than probable
that it is false; particularly as the place is
not mentioned, nor has the mail, which has
brought news from all parts of the Island,
brought any Information OF consequences.
