MURDER BY BRANDY "A little boy, named
Joseph White, about six years old, died at
New York, on Friday last, from the effects
of an excessive quantity of brandy that he
was induced to drink by man named Thorn

the unfortunate boy to drink the liquid out oI
pure wantonness, and principally because
his parents were strong advocates of temper

A NOVEL SALUTE.-It is stated that as
Kossuth was coming from Montgomery to
Charleston, the people at the dining station,
Opeliea, wished to salute him, but had no
cannon. Determined to burn powder in
some way, an original genius conceived the
idea of placing percussion caps on the rail.
The plan was put in execution, and as the
cars neared Opeliea, there was such snap
ping under the wheels of the locomotive as
was never heard on that road before.

ANEcDoTE OF WAsHINGToN.-It has often
been remarked of Washington, that no one
was everin his presence without being strong
ly impressed by reverence to his dignity
But it seems by the following anecdote,
which is related by correspondent of the
New York Courier and Enquirer, that at
least there was one exception
When the President was procuring the
ground for the city, which was to be the
seat of Government, he had but little diff
Guilty in obtaining the necessary releases
except in one instance. Mr.. James Byrnes
was the owner of lot or track, which il
was advisable should be included in the
plan. The General had various conference
es with Mr.. B, who was especially obstinate
and resisted all the great man had to say
Washington turned upon him, with indigna-
ton, and said with great severity:
Mr.. James Byrnes, what would your land
have been worth if had not placed the city
on the Potomacp'
Byrnes was undismayed, and cody turn,
ed to him and said, George Washington
what would you have been worth, if yor
had not married the widow Curtis!"

Progress.-You will not have to ask the
"oldest inhabitant" to remember the time
when the weekly papers published in this
city were no larger than the Daily and con-
tanned no more reading matter. The fact
is within the memory of those who have not
yet reached the meridian of life. The truth
is, daily publication is needed in this city,
and we are willing to try the experiment ol
one of which our citizens need not be
ashamed. If they second our efforts, it will
improve as our Weekly papers have improv'
ed and enjoy equal prosperity.

THE LATE FLooD.-Since the subsiding of
the late food, accounts of damages caused
by it have hourly poured into this city, so
that an attempt to enumerate them would be
utterly frutless. Houses, barns, fences, saw
mills, bridges, lumber, &C., &C., were swept
away by its resstlcss fury. We are sorry to
say that the fall of water has not altogether
removed the Inconvenience to which the
citizens residing in the lower parts of Pitts
burgh, Allegheny, and the neighboring viii
lagos were subjected, inasmuch as ponds are
formed which render all attempts to drain
the cellars in many places fruitless, and the
only way to remedy the evil will be to ex.
cavate drains, or to wait patiently until the
sun evaporates the water, in which case it is
to be feared that much sickness will ensue.-

been as bad as at the present time. The mud
is deep and stifrand almost impossible in

our enterprizing citizens is willingto pledge
himself to give $500 for every plank road or

half dozen or more roads of this character,

would add to the business of the place at least

ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER GONE.
-Abiiah Hurst, an old Revolutionary sol
der, recently died at Belvidere, N. Y, aged
81 years. He was born at Newton, and
when only IA years old saw revolutionary
battle, in which an elder brother was en-
agged. His spirit being reused, after first
ascertaining that his brother was unframed,
he returned home and implored his mother,
who was widow, to allow him to enlist.
She had already six sons in the army, but be-
ing one of the noble spirited women of that
time, she granted him permission, provided a
gun could be obtained. An old musket, with
the lock tied on with string was found, and
he went to the army The spirit Of the boy
being noticed he was enrolled g. subsequent
ly with his own consent, transferred to the
Navy. His vessel was captured off the coast
of France, and he spent year in an English
and Irish prison, acting as schoomaster to
his companions, till exchanged After the
close of the war, he engaged in the coasting
trade and other pursuits, and was finally
pensioned as midshipman.

AFFECTING INcIDENT.--During all the
summer of lS49, when the cholera was hur-
rying multitudes to their last rest, highly
respectable and interesting family was seiz-
ed by the epidemic. Five of its members
were prostrated at one time, and such was
the alarm of the neghbors that no one came
to their assistance at the critical moment.
When all seemed hopeless, there was one,
the youngest child of scarce three summers,
who had been providentially spared for the
occasion, who has ministered as an angel.
Her eldest sister requiring the greatest at
tention, was the special object of the little
ones care. And while the patient was
withering under the weight of disease, the
little creature watching with intense inter-
est the pallid countenance of her sister, an
unbidden tear traced her cheek, she seemed
striving to divine some remedy that would
alleviate the pain of the prostrate form be-
fore her, and suddenly quitting the room, as
on the wings of love, procured glass of
cold water, returned, and climbing on chair
near the sick bed, presented the sparkling
draught, and in lisping accents said; "Drink
this, dear sister, it will cure you" She spoke
as one who knew, for the patient recovered
though not until the angel nurse had pass
ed into the "world of spirits" from the same
disease; but her memory fingers as fresh as
the vioets that bloom around her resting
place.
AMOS AND THE NAILs.-There was very
) bad boy by the name of Amos, who had a
very good father. This father was grieved
: and troubled at the wckedness of his son
} and tried in vain to induce him to reform.
One day the father said to Amos.
"Here is hammer and keg of nails
wish you, every time you do wrong action
: to drive oae of these nails into this wall"
Amos said:
"Well, father, will"
Before long, Amos came to his father and
said:
"Thc keg is empty. have used all the
nails Come and see."
The father came to the spot and found the
wall black with nails.
He said to his son:
"Amos, have you committed a wrong
action for every one of these nails"
Eyes, father" said Amos
+ The father said, sorrowiully,
+ "Whut a bad boy you must be, Amos
Why will you not turn about and try and bc
u good boyW
$ Amos remained thoughtful for a few mo
p, mcnts, and then said
= "Father, will try have been altogethe
a too bad; and will try and be better boy.
! Said his father:
Q "Take the hammer, and for every good ac
you do, draw out a nail and put it into th'
t keg."
In u fewweeks the boy came and said,
"Come, father, and see the nails in the Ike!
again. Every good act have done hay,
pulled out nail See, the kog is full u
;, gain"
