Arkansas Marble,

We have been shown, at the yard of Mess
WHITE & AMEIs, on Adams street spcci-
men Of variegated black Marble, taken from
the quarries Of White River, in Arkansas.
which for beauty and fneness we have new
er seen eqnalled, even BY the Egyptian arti-
Gle. This may seem extravagant commend
alton of home products; but an examination
Of the Arkansas specimen, and contrast
with that imported, will satisfy any one that
what we have stated is true 1t is not only
finer in texture than any Italian marble but
i susceptible Of much higher polish than
the Egyptian, from which our finest articles
of furniture, mantle pieces, tables, &c, are
made. Messrs W & A. have received a
block Of this marble. from which they de-
sign manufacturing mantle-pieces in the
best style of the art When made. thev

sity Of our going abroad for marble, when
we may, at our own doors, as it were, pro-
cure finer article than can be got from
foreign quarries. Mem Eag. r. Eng.

lie of the train coming out Of Wilmington,
and in his fright does not know what be did.
He thinks, however, that he raised his Ian
tern, which was the proper signal that all
was right. Thus the officers Of the train
were deceived and thought all was right and
went ahead
Charles Garvin, the engineer, belongs to
Elkton; is married Reuben Titus, the
fireman, was crushed beneath the engine
tender and three platform cars loaded with
cross-ties.
The bridge tender is very worthy and
