ANTICIPATED DIFFICULTY WITH ENGLAND.
The official document from Mr.. Webster,
furnished the Boston Courier, says that mea-
sures have been taken by the British Govern
ment in regard to American Fisheries, which
will cause complete interruption in the ex-
tensive business in that line, now carried on
in New-England, inasmuch as constant COLI
sions of an unpleasant and exciting character
are now taking place, which may possibly end
in the destruction of life; and, as it's, threaten
the peace of the two countries. The subject,
however, will engage the inn,rsSs--ss atten-
ton of the Government.

difficulty had occurred between America and
England relative to the Fisheries Treaty.
The messenger left document at the of
fee of the Boston Courier, which that paper

SECOND DIsTRIcT.-The wings Of the Cd
Congressional District met in Convention, at
Clinton, Anderson county, on the 18th inst,
to nominate a candidate for district elector.-
The Register contains a full account of the
proceedings. Spirited resolutions were adopt
ed. and speeches made by Col. Jno. H. Gro
zier, Judge Boyd, VIM. c. Kahn, VIM. G. Nc
Adoo, Eqrs., and other gentlemen. HORACE
MAYNARD, Esq, was unanimously chosen as
the candidate for elector, and accepted in a
speech that gave earnest of vigorous and
efficient canvass. Mr.. Maynard is an able
and eloquent speaker, fully competent to a
successful accomplishment of the work as
signed him. Harmony, good feeling, and a
spirit of enthusiasm characterised the pro-
ceedings of the Convention. The signs in
East Tennessee are favorable and cheering,
and we confidently anticipate an increased ma
jority on this side the mountain.

MoURMNe.-"Blaek is the sign of mourn.
ing," says Rabelais, 'because it is the color of
darkness, which is melancholy, and the oppo-
site of white, which is the color of light, of
Joy and of happiness" The early poets as
serted that souls, after death, went into dark
and gloomy empire. Probably it was in con-
soma sonnnce with this idea that they imagined
oi''ek was the most congeniuI color for p,o,.sau
ing. The Chinese and the Siamese choose
white, conceiving that the dead become bene-
hcent genii. In Turkey, mourning is COM
posed of blue or violet; in Ethiopia of gray;
and at the time of the invasion of Peru by
the Spaniards, the inhabitants of that cofun.
try wore it Ct mouse color. Among tks
japanese, white is the sign of mourning vest.

ILLUSTRATING A SPEEcH.-The Boston
Transcript gives humorous account of the
first stump speech IN favor of Gen. Scott, by
a young gentlemen of Somerville, who chose
for his rostrum the steps of a church. After
brilliant review of the life and services of
the hero of l.undy's. Lane, the expected over
whelmingly brilliant peroration was cut short
by the accidental stepping over the edge of
his platform by the eloquent young orator,
who rolled heavily down the embankment,
but on being picked up by two lads who had
all along been his auditors he declared he
had only been showing how Gen, Pierce fell
from his horse!'

An extraordinary case of death by electri-
city occurred at Earlvile, Madison county, N
Y, on "Wednesday last. Mr.. Warren Skin
ner, farmer, while at work in his field, was
struck dead during thunder storm. He was
found lying on the ground, the blood running
out of two holes in his head and out of bis
ears. Every stitch of his clothing was torn
from his body and carried some distance. -
And it is stated as curious fact connected
with this sad result, that besides the two
holes in SINNERS head, which appeared to
have been made by the electric fluid, there
was also hole in the bottom of each foot,
and hole in the ground directly under each
foot.

FoRGIvENEss.-The Knickerbocker gives
the following as an exempifcation of what
we fear is the prevalent idea of the duty of
forgiveness:
"Heard from Sunday-school teacher, Just
now, an illustration of one kind of Chris
ton Forgiveness" Improving upon the DAYS
lesson, the teacher asked boy whether, in
view of what he had been studying and re-
peating he could forgive those who had
wronged him. Gould YOU said the teacher,
forgive boy, for example, who had insulted
or struck you?' 'Ye-e S, sir replied the lad
very slowly, d guess-I-I could but he
added, in much more rapid manner: 4
could, if he was bigger than ami Isn't there
something of grown experience in that!'
