TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF M. M. GRAY,

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF M N. GRAY, ESQ.
Alta called meeting of Harmony Lodge No.
CT, A. F. NJ. held on Friday Evening, Oct. 2lst
1853, the following preamble and Resolutions
Were passed in memory of Brother NJ. NJ. Gray,
deceased.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased almighty God in
his wisdom to remove from our lodge, our friend
and brother, NJ. NJ. Gray, in the prime of life.
And whereas, whilst we bow in humble acquics-
cencc to the divine decree and school our hearts
to submission and obedience TO the fiat which
has been executed; it is proper that we should
mourn for our loss and condole with the afflicted
whom he has left behind him in the common be-
reavement which we have all sustained. Srick-
en- down from our midst without warning and
whilst preparing for other scenes, and fields Of
action, the fate of our lamcntcd brother teaches
us truly that in the midst Of life we are in death.
Our deceased brother was possessed of many
virtues. A good heart combined with strong
and ardent feelings of friendship endeared him
to those who were admitted into The circle Of his
regard. Uncompromising in the discharge Of his
duty and persistent in what he believed to be
right, neither applause or condemnation could
deter him from the religious performance Of pri-
v,te or public duties. He now lies cold and in
animate in The tomb, after lfcs titful fever, an
illustration Of the uncertainty Of the tenure of
life. In view Of the conneXion of the deceased
with our lodge of which he was an old and well.
tried member and as expressive of our feeling on
this mournful occasion. Be it resolved,
L. That in the deccasc of our friend and bro
ther, NJ. NJ. Gray, this lodge has sustained the
loss of m old and cherished member; and the
order stcadfast and consistent friend.
2. That we condole with the relations of our
deceased brother in the whitening misfortune
which has betallcn them, and tender them the
consolation of our deep sympathy.
3. That in testimony of our appreciation Of
his character, and rs memorial of our respect
for his many virtues, a blank leaf of the minutes
of this Lodge be inscribed to his memory.
a. That in memory of the deceased, the breth-
rem of this Lodge do wear upon the left arm, the
usual badge of mourning at every meeting of the
Lodge for the space of six months.
5. That a copy ofthe preamble and resolutions
be sent to the afflicted family of the deceased
G. That these Preamble and Resolutions be
published in the Hamburg Republican and

Origin of Names.

WISE men are sometimes great fools, and good
writers not unfreqnently very stupid. In late
lumber of the Southern Rerie,v may be found an
elaborate article in which, among other things, con.
siderable space is occupied with Of dsqnsilion
upon the origin Of sundry of plnces rivers and
things. The writer finds that Cnch River is SC
called because fellow, who was crossing the stream
on raft with some others, toppled over into the
water and in his terror cried out TO his companions
"Cnch ne-clnch me ="
This is about equal to the supposition that" POGO
taligo" sprung from the circumstance of low -coun.
try African having observed to some of the old set
tiers, who had discovered mammoth terrapin On the
spot which now bears that name and were trying to
coax it into crawling Poke her tell he 60" And
is decidedly inferior the legend which tells that
Savannah river derived its name from .ths fact of a
pretty girl, whose name was ANNA, having fallen
out of pleasure boat " in the old iimes," upon
which startling occurrence all aboard simultaneously
exclaimed" Save ANNA"

The Nassau litorary Nagazine,

A young friend Of ours, now in Princeton College,
sends copy of the above periodical with the re-
quest that we g notice." We do so cheerfully. The
Magazine is very handsome pamphlet, is published
monthly at Princeton and edited each month by some
member of the Senior Glass, no one occupying that
post for than issue. Any member of the
class has the right Of contributing to its columns al
any time The Editor for September seems to have
been hard run, if we may jndge from the very jum'
bed dish Of gossip we find in his department. Oh
the contributions in this number, We should say that
the one upon the character of Iago is entitled to the
palm; it is briefly and forciby drawn.
Some such publication this might be advalt
gcously established in our own College, for the early
exercise of the talents Of those who are TO be the
future editors, critics and authors of the State.

THE New York Express referring to the posi-
tion of England and France in relation to the
Koszta affair says -
1t is important, as political and historical
truth touching the position Of two ofthe princi-
pal governments OF Europe, that the real state
of the case should be stated. We, therefore,
state that Mr.. Marcy has bcen-and in The cas- Q
of the French Minister-more than once dis
tinctly informed of the dissent of the two most
friendly Powers of Europe, to the doctrines laid
down here in the case of Koszta. We read in
our Vienna correspondence of an entire concur
renee of opinion among the representatives of
the Allied Powers il Austria, upon this subject,
at 7 recent interview among them, and we be-
leve there has been the same concurrence of
opinion at Washington. But be this as it may,
we have authority for saying, that Mr.. Marcy
has been informed by Mr. Sartiges, n second
time, that the French Government did not dis
approve of the views Of Austria in regard TO
Koszta, and that he has been called upon 10 cor
rect the semi-official statement Of the F." Union"
both in regard to the position of France and
England; but he has declined to do so, for The
reason that the official statements were made in
his alleged absence. The Government, there
fore, stands in the position of publishing to the
world state of facts which is not true-to wit:
that France and England had been silent specta-
tors pending the discussion Of the question {;
whereas, both Governments were prompt and
earnest in expressing their views TO the Secreta-
ry of State, with less formality, to be sure, than
the more despotic and interested Powers of Eu-
rope, but nevertheless, with hardly less earnest
ness and spirit

RAILROAD SMAsH-On Friday evening,
;Q4th,) about dark, the large locomotive Poca-
hontas, drawing train of loaded ears, ran off
the track at Schuylkill Haven, at the bridge,
plungng down an enbankment of some twenty
feet, dragging with it some dozen cars, which,
together with the locomotive, were much
broken But the most remarkable incident Of
this accident is the miraculous escape of two
men, who were seated in the express Office at
the time, small building standing about two
feet from the track, and directly in the path of
the engine. The house was pitched down the
bank, and split in two, with the locomotive fast
upon it, and the men, who were quietly smoking
their cigars at comfortable fire, rolled out at 4
crack made by the concussion. and escaped with
few slight bruises. There was 4 can of fluid
in the office, which caught fire Immediately, COLI
suming the building, books and papers, the
flames extending so furiously as to bar all
efforts to save them. The engineer and fire.
men jumped from the engine in time TO escape
unhurt.
