Horrible Death.

The telegraph gave an account of the death Ct
Mr.. Winthrop Richardson, at Stoneham, Mass, by
being run over by railroad train, adding that his
body was so manged that no piece larger than his
hand was found. This was regarded as an exagger-
alton, but from the following account from the
Boston Courier, it appears to have been literally
true:
Mr.. Richardson started from his house for the
purpose, as is supposed, of seeing Mrs. Wood (his
daughter) safely in the cars. As lie approached
the track, the Manchester express train hove in
sight, and he saw it. He looked at it, as if to
measure the distance, and then attempted to run
the rails. He maGe several jumps, and sue
ceeded in leaping upon the platform, but in do
ing lost his equilibrium, fell backwards, aud was
struck by the locomotive. His body was mangled
into pound particeS. His head was crushed into
atoms-the warm brain was found upon the plat
form, the liver adhered 10 one of the brakes. the
still throbbing heart was found upon a rail, and
pieces of discovered limbs were strewn along the
track for some distance. Not limb escaped UNI
broken, and never was mangling more complete.
The engine was smeared over with blood, and par
tcles CT flesh adhered to it. Mrs. Wood was a
spectator at the destruction of her father and two
or three other persons were standing the sta
ton house at the lime.

STATUE OF RrcuARD CGuR DE Iona large
body of the nobility and gentry OF England are
subscribing with the Queen and Prince Albert at
their head, to purchase Baron Marochetti's colosa
statue of Richard Ceur de Lion, exhibited at the
Crystal Palace, with the purpose of erecting it in
some conspicuous part of London as a record of
the great exhibition. Her Majesty has put her
name down for 81 200, and Prince Albert for $500.
There are already plenty of anonymous letters in
the daily press ridiculing the purpose for which
this statue is intended, as Richerd Ceur de Lion
was rather the reverse of free trader, aud the
Crystal Palace, in reality, was monument to free
trade

Fourth of July.

proper observance of the anniversary of the
day which gave birth to our National existence, is
duty enioiued upon every citizen of this repub-
lie. The scenes of dissipation and senseless show
which have too often marked the observance of
the day, it is gratifying to perceive, are fast giving
place to something more rational and moral.
Instance the contemplated proceedings of the
''vrginia State Fencibles,' company composed
ofmembers at least enthusiastic in their love of
country and of home, and all the thrilling associ-
atoms which cluster around their history, any
other portion of our citizens. Inthe morning they
appear fer the first time, with natural degree of
pride, in their new and beautiful uniform, and at
ter parading through the streets, repair to st.
Johns Church, Centre Wheeling, where the
Rev. DR.. McCabe has kindly consented to deliver
them an grafton. That Grafton, we have no doubt,
will be of that dignfed and edifying character,
alike worthy the author, and worthy our National
