A Deaf Colloquy.

John Owens, an urchin of twelve wears old, met countryman with a basket of eggs. John learned upon inquiry that the eggs Were for sale, he told the pumpkin to carry the eggs around to his mothers house, and say to the old lady that he had sent him tbere with them. The countryman started as directed by John, who pur- Dosely sent him aroundabout route;- before he left he told him his mother was very deaf and he must halloo very loud to make her hear. John took a near cut for home, and beat the egg man some minutes; he informed his mother that he had barg gained for some eggs from a man who would be there in few minutes; he also informed her that the man was very deaf and she would have to talk very loud to make him hear. John then hid himself un- der the bed to enjoy the sport of the trick he had played. The man came and the front door being shut he thun- dered away on it with his hands and feet in a manner that was alarming to hinges and locks. and the old lady has tened to open the door.
 "Your son." halloed the egg-man, ''sent me here with some eggs"
 "How much do you ask dozen,'' , screamed the old lady.
 "A shilling" i" shouted the egg-man, at the top of his voice, making trum- pet out of his hands. This almost deafened the old lady, but she knew persons who are deaf are apt to think every body else deaf, and talk accord ingly; she piticd his infrmity, and continued:
 ''Are they fresh"
 "All laid within week." roared the egg-man in deafening shout.
 "You need not halloo so at me, , screamed the old lady, "I'm not deaf. ,
 Nor I either,'' , said he with the egrs.

The deed was con- mitted just before day, but for what req son is yet unknown. The implement used is supposed to be an axe, with which the deceased was struck two or more blows killing him instantly. When found the body had been robbed of a watch, and the pocket book of the de- ceased, which was afterwards found hld in a wood pile. The negro denies having committed the deed, but says 1t was done by two white men. who gave him the pocket book and money, some @70 in Planters Bank notes. Coroner Waldran held an inquest upon the body; the jury returning a verdict that the deceased came to his death by blows from an axe or other instrument, in the hands of An. dy, or some other person unknown.

A MARROW EscAPE.-A beacon has been prepared to be placed on the dangerous rock called the Lon doner. It is only occasionally that smoothness of the sea and lowness ofthe tide will enable the workmen 10 do any thing towards drilling the hole for the shaft. The Gloucester (England) Telegraph gives the follow ing account of a narrow escape which MT. Benjamin Haskell, the contractor, had for his life:
 "The hole in the rock which he is making for the shaft is about large enough for a man to get into, and is made by drilling holes in circle, and blowing out the middle. IL is now several feet deep, and the per- son who loads the holes is obliged to get down in order to do so. On one occasion, a few days since. MT. Has, bell had got the charges loaded, and, lighting the fuse attempted tojump out, but found that he was bound in by the position he had taken in load Ing the charge. He made second attempt, which was alike unsuccessful. Imagine what his feelings must have been with lighted fuse leading to a mlne of powder under his feet, and he bound in by the rock and not able to extricate himself! The thought occurred to him to cut off the end of the fuse with his knife; but on ma King third attempt he succeeded in extrIcatng himself, and but barely escaped when the charge exploded u was certainly narrow escape for ones life"

THE CORN PANIc.-The excessive and long protracted drought has pro- duced quite panic in the corn mar ket in this city, and prices have ad- vanced during the last week B to 40 cents per bushel; and at the pres sent rates the supply is scarcely equal to the demand. Although we know the prospects of the growing crops in all central Georgia are gloomy be- vond description, and that the oat- crop has entlrel y failed, yet we think the present panic quite unnecessary, and the present rate too high. For we feel assured that the surplus in
 Tennessee and the Northwest will be more than equal to the wants of the cotton growing States. And as the facilities for transportation are now so great with those sections by railroads and water, and the rates so cheap, we feel quite confident that the present prices cannot be long maintained. We would, there fore, advise buyers to confine their purchases to their immediate wants, relying upon lower rates to obtain full supplies.-Savannah Georgian.

THE HARMONIOUS DEMocRAcy

HE HARMONIOUS DEMoCRACY.- Hon. Jas. Maurice. Democratic mem- Der ot Congress, from the First Dis trlct ot New York, finding the ap- polntments of the President so ex- ceedIngly unpopular in his District, has felt himself called upon to come putin a "letter to the Democratic voters," disclaiming all agency in these appointments, and adding his personal condemnation of the Presi- dents course. We give below an extract from his letter:
 "For the present it will be suffi- cient to observe that if had believed 1t possible that the nominee of the last Democratic Convention could lend lhimselft to the furtherance ofa faction,
 North or South, my name would not
 have been presented for your sui
 frages.-And if the great body of
 the American people had not been
 deceived into his support, as l was,
 Gen. Pierce would still be practicing
 law in Concord, and illustrating by
 turns the poltlces and the juriSpru-
 dence of New Hampshire. l have
 too high a respect for the office of
 Chief Magistrate of this Republic, and am too willing to yield to iis posseSsor that respect the office de- serves. to say more at this time on
 the subject"
 Such is the testimony of a Dem- ocratic member of Congress in rela- ton 10 the appointments of the administration; and he differs from
 the great body of the sobermindeo
 Democracy only in this: he published
 his disapprobation, while many oth- CTS "grin and bear it."-B0StOn Atlas.

The lightning was Of a rurple color, and
sometimes appeared like balls Of fire, coming
IN through windows and doors, and down the
chimneys, while the houses trembled and shook
to their very foundations. .....
Mrs. L. Holden was near window winding
up a clock a ball of fire came in through the
window and struck her hand, which ben1mbed
her hand and arm. She then, with all in The
house, retreated into the entry Another flash

similar appearance Of fire was seen, and crack

1t sounded like breaking glass. .. -

guished, and his wife was injured He got his
wife on to bed, and found match at that
instant another flash came and ignited the
match, and threw him several feet backwards.
John l.. Martin received so severe shock that
he could not speak for a long time. ...-..
A great many persons were slightly injured.
Some were struck in the feet, some iu the eve
while others were electrified, some powerfully
and some slightly. But what was very singu-
lar, not person was killed or seriously iniur-
ed, or building damaged but cluster of
trees, within few rods of two dwelling hous-

came down among them-taking them out by
the roots, with stones and earth, and throwing
all in every direction. Some were left hang
ing by their roots from the adjacent standing
trees, roots up, tops down. ... ...
The lightning, after entering The earth to the
depth of several feet, and for space some
eight or ten feet in diamater, dividing into four
different directions. One course which it took
led through the open land, making chasm to
the depth of several feet, and continued its
march unobstructed by the solid frozen ground,
or any other substance, TO the distance of $40
feet; lifting, oyerturning, and throwing out
Junks OF frozen earth, some of which were 10
or | feet long by feet wide; and hurling at
distance rocks, stones and roots. The power
here displayed was truly awful, and had it fall
len on building, it would have thrown it,
with its inmates, into ten thousand fragments
