1t seems that this gentleman is a much
yo~unger-look!ng man than he has been de-
scrioed. The New York Mirror says Of
him:
"His appearance would indicate a mar
about twenty-five years Of age, not corpu-
lent, as has been stated, but Of medium
height, strong, compact frame, a large, we'll
formed head, finely set, a sparkling. mild
eye, and a countenance alternating in CO.
Tors between the rosy and sun Drowned.
In short, a man with strong Hibernian
bodily characteristics, though his features
and voice are far less marked that way.
His voice is soft and full, rather Of The tone
called "affected," though there is no af-
feclation in Mr.. Meagher's speech or man
ner. lie speaks with deliberation, bu,
clearly, auenlly, and to the point.
"Mr. M. is no egotist-vaniiy and
conceit have no part with him. He has
escaped from bondage, and is proud to
stand upon our free soil, under the fold, of
our starry flag and the protection of our
laws. He has come among us from his
captivity not a beggar. but to dwell in our
teols, to practice his profession, the law,
in our midsi,and 10 share our independence
and hospitality. His father is a man of
large uealth.
"Mr. Meagher married in Van Dieman's
Land, and his wife will no doubt, soon re-
join him here. He speaks highly of the
soil and climate he has just left, and ex-
presses deep sympathy with the free En-
glish colonisis there, who, he says, are full

time to take their place amongst the ma

Novel and Serious Accident.

On Thursday morning last, just after
the hands engaged in the Rolling Mill of
Messrs Harris, Burnish e. Co., at Fish
bach, adjoining this Borough, had com.
menced the labors Of the day, all accident
occurred which threatened utter des,ruc-
ton to the building and all it contained; i,
seems indeed miraculous that of the %
men who were in the mill at The time, no
lives we're lost.

engine, and composed Of cast iron, fifteen
feet in diameter, weighing upwards of
twelve tons, while running with tremend.

parts in every direction. One portion
weighing from 1900 10 1000 pounds, was
thrown through the roof Of the building in
an eaStwardly direction, more than one
hundred yards, where it struck the earth,
completely burying itself. Another part
weighing not less than three tons, passed
almost perpendicularly through the heavy
frame timbers and roof, as though they
were composed OF jack.straws, and was
seen by persons outside, when at an eleya.

The following is an extract from the
letters, among others, of Gen. Lamorciere,
refusing 10 take the oath to the French
presidential usurper:
81 am aware of the consequences of my
determination. Twenty.nino years and a
half of active service; thirly-six campaigns
during eighteen years of war in Algeria;
services rendered 10 France in foreign lands
and during the fatal days of June, ls4s
services, which perhaps, are not forgotten
all will be sunk by this refusal, and my
name will be struck of the army list
Another proof will be given that an off.
GERS rank is in the hands Of an arbitrary
will. The law Of 10Th May, 1884, had
made an officers rank his patrimony; he
could only be deprived of it by the sem
tsnce of a courtmsrtial. The law is dis
carded, as many others have been, by a
government which respects neither person
nor property.
"The sword which | had devoted 10 the
service Of France will be taken out of my
hands. What use could l make Of it un.
der such a government! But, which God
forbid, if our frontiers should be invaded,
| should hasten 10 resume it to fight for
our national independence, for history has
sufficiently proved that in the hour Of
danger, brought on by ambition, despotism
requires no oath from men of courage,
who are willing 10 march in defence Of
their country"

DEATH OF DR.. SAMUEL Norr.-The
New London Chronicle records the death
of the venerable DR.. S. Mott, on the Goth
ullimo, at his residence in Franklin, Conn.
He was in his ninety-ninth year. About
a week before his disease his gown caught
fire while sitting alone in his room, and
before it was %extinguished his hand was
badly burned. The injury and excilemen,
consequent upon the accident probably
FASTENED his death. DR.. Mott had been
in the parish more than seventy years,
and was probably The oldest pastor of a
parish n New England, or perhaps in the
United States.
DR.. Mott has for many years been an
object Of attention as the oldest clergyman
in the State. lie was an elder brother of
Eliphallett Mott, Presiden, Of Union Col.
lege.
He leaves behind him descendants to The
fourth generation. The funeral services
were numerously attended on Friday 2sIh,
by his own people and those within a cir.
Gle of twenty miles in diameter. DR.. Mott
has no, ofiiciated since his Oath year as
pastor, the duties of that office having
been performed by a colleague.

GOLD DoLLARs.-The Philadelphia
Public Ledger gives The following caution
to those who may chance 10 handle these

hem. The piece, by some fine and In
g%euious machinery, is spill, in two, abou,
one-half Of the coin distracted, and the
plundered sides stuck together again, tho
face Of tho piece not The least Scared or
