and with a piercing shrek that rang loudly
above the mocking roar Of the cataract, fell
back into the foaming waves, and was hurl-
ed over the brow of the fatal prccipice!
I'VE have no heart for comment upon
the melancholy and awful event. The fate
iof poor Avery will add another to the many
fearful local incidents already related BY the
guides at the Falls, and for years his crit.
cal situation, his hard struggles, his fearful
death, will be the theme of many harrow
ing tale. And visitors to the mighty cata-
ract will seek the scene of the terrible ca
tastrophe with a shudering curiosity, ana
the timid and the imaginative will fancy, IN
the dusk Of the evening, that they still hear
above the waters roar the fearful shrek
that preceded the fatal plunge"
The Albany Atlas, speaking OF the case Of
poor Avery, remarks: :, e,:
aThe scene itself was appalling-of this
man hanging between life and death, ON the
edge of that vast precipice ofheadlong wa
ters. But it receives an additional poignan.
cv when, by the mysterious agency ofthe tel
eoraph, the whole public, within the radius
Of thousand miles, are made to partlciPate
IN b;s agony. The spectators on the shores
who beheld his struggles were hardly more
present at the scene than the men who, IN
the distant cities, were told from hour to
hour, and from minute to minute, OF his per.
il, and the alternate chances Of death ana
escape II, .v...

uspended as State after State uttered its
1oice; and oh. can ever forget the moment
when the Speaker, standing up his place,
declared in clear. sonorous voice, that
seemed to pierce through bone and marrow,

hall. Mr.. McDutfie, (whose candidate had
been defeated, whose eager hopes were
blasted, and whose personal pledge for the
good order of the assembly was remembered
by all,) sprang in much excitement from
the ground, and in a voice that rang above
all turnultuous plaudits of the spectators,
cried, "Mr. Speaker! move that the gal
lery be cleared'' The question was put
and carried AYES said foreign Minister
to another who stood by his side, "but how

Speaker orders the galleries to be cleared;
YOU must retire-clear the galleries ="
And at his word, like a flock of quiet, pass

TAXING 1T EAsY.-A few days since
Constable Judd was called upon to fulfil q
writ of ejectment, issued by son otthe En-
erald Isle, against fellow-countryman.-
Dan, who never waits for persuasion to DC
his duty, instantly called upon Pat ant
found him seated in the house named in the
writ, enjoying "dundeen."
"Good morning, Pat" said Dan, pulling
out his writ
"The top O. the mornin' to yerself,' re
piled Pat, undisturbed.
"Patrick, have business with you," CON
tinued the constable.
"Bedad am shure ye have, an why woulc
ye be afther calm on me sr!"
~ have writ here, commanding me tt
eject you and your goods from this house
It's rather an unpleasant duty, but"
can it's Michael O'Callighan that order
ed ye, shure"
"Yes sir, Michael is the man."
"An' did he pay the cost, Nlsthur Consta
ble!''
"Certainly,-we always demand advanced
costs in these cases"
"Thin, ye've been paid for ye're work
shure!"
'StItdihiy.
"Th,n, We can do it-divl bit will Pat,
rick O'Brien STAN in the way of mans
working for his pay"
This rather astonished Dan, who expect.
ed as is usual in such, cases to meet with
resistance. He dotted his coat, and after
an hours hard labor succeeded in removing
the Irishman's household goods from the
building into the street. After securing the
house from improper intrusion, Dan, fatiguet
with the labors he had performed, started
away. In bidding him goodbye, Pat
who was seated on part of his goods
with the "dundeen" still in his mouth, re-
marked:
"An' I'm obliged to ye, sir, for saven' me
all the throuble."
"Saving you trouble-how!"
"Fait, an, wasn't goin' to move; an
wasn't l jist takin' off my coat to lug ou'

all down for me without chargin, me cint
at all, at all! I'm much obliged oye sir, an

wants his goods carrid down stairs, sir"
Dan suddenly had business in anothe'
place, though the joke was so good ne coul'
not help telling it afterwards:

from this time upon rose and other plants

also be worked in the following order
Plums first, then Chinese, Apricots, Pears
Apples, Ounces, Peaches. A correspond

budded on the Southwest side, selecting
cl oudy weather in August to perform the
operation. Properly performed, we have
known buns to succeed perfectly from June
to October, or later if frosts do not inter

THE COUNTRY.

BY MRS EMILY GERTRUDE MAcAULiyF.
The country! the country! for me II has charms,
Its fountains, Its hills, its forests and farms
In wildness or sunshine-with cascade or rill
In summer or winter tis dear to me still.
The country! the country! love its green soil
When bright and refreshed by the husbandman's
toll;
When dew-drops are glittering in young rosy morn,
When song-bird, are twittering the scene to adorn
love its clear azure-I love its sweet flowers,
love its still calm, and its sunshiny hours;
And when winters rude sadness envelopes the
scene,
Zen then It's as dear as when naught lay between.
The country! the country. oh, still may il be,
"First flower Of the Earth, and 6rst Gem Of the
Sea;''
With verdure crowned valleys, and submits
above,
II calls for your praises-it calls for your love.

Feel wit grow dull, and memory cold;
Take these, old Time, take all away;
But spare my heart from growing old.
Give me TO live with Friendship still,
And hope and love till life is DER!

The EaIcssoN ExpsRIMENr.-The New York
Express, noticing the trial trip of the new caloric
ship Ericsson, on Tuesday, states that she made a
very fine appearance, aud went at the rate of
about twelve miles per hour, with the wind and
tide in her favor, but most probably increased her
speed after having got fairly clear of the numerous
outward bound vessels at anchor in the river. She
anchored at the Southwest Spit, from whence she
would probably proceed on her trip yesterday.
The greatest anxiety is felt as to the result, which
is anticipated to be most favorable from the speed
attained in going down the bay: -.-,...,
The New York Mirror records the event as fol-
lows: ''The Ericsson left her dock at Williams
burg on Tuesday morning about 81 o'clock on her
trial trip. She ran down the East river in beauti
full style, and proceeding up the North river a
short distance, returned, and went down the bay
at the rate of about twelve miles an hour, with
wind and tide in her favor. Her speed, however
was somewhat impeded by the number of vessels
in the stream. The anxiety and universal interest
with which the success or failure of this expert
ment is watched, was seen in the crowds which
gathered around the docks. Fulton's experiment
did not excite deeper interest Last Tuesday
night the Ericsson with several other vessels,
at anchor off the Southwest Spit, in consequence
of a violent gale. Thus far her success has been
decided,H
