NEGRO Boy KILLED. We learn that negro boy,
the property of DR.. John Calling, was killed on the
Central Railroad, near this place. on the 4th. The
negroes, it appears, having the day to themselves,
asked permission of the overseer to use hand-car
to haul rock to the Depot for some one who was to
pay them for it. The peremptorily refused;
but they took the in his absence, loaded it, and

BEWARE OF INCENDIARIEs!

We learn that an attempt was made on Wednes-
day morning last, about six o'clock to fire the resi-
dence of James McKimmon, Esq, of this place.
The fire fortunately discovered before it had
made serious progress, and extinguished. Had the
attempt been made hour earlier, the house would
probably have been consumed, to the imminent
danger of the family. We trust the demon in human
form who mado this attempt will be ferretted out and
brought to condign punishment We learn that a
reward of three hundgcd dollars will be given for
the discovery of the guilty person or persons.

GRIEF AND

Grief derives itself into several periods, in
the case Of widows:
LIST Period.-Despair, six weeks. This
period is known by q black paramatta dress.
Grape collar and cuffs, and the disappearance
of the hair beneath the widows cap.
I'd Period.-Profound grief. Despondon-
cy, six weeks. Profound grief Is recognized
by the dress. which still continues to be Of
paramatta. and the dependency which sue
ceeds to despair is symbolized By the white
Grape collar and cuffs.
Sd Period:-Grief softened by the conso-
lation Of friends. and the hope soon to rejoin
the regretted objects Of her affections in .
better world. These melancholy sentiments
last six months they are expressed by q
black silk dress the widows cap is still
worn.
4th Period.-Tme heals the wounds oe
the heart. Providence tempers the east wind
to the shorn lamb. Violent attacks Of grief
only come on at rare intervals. Sometimes
the widow seems as though she had forgotten
her loss but all at once, a circumstance, APP
parently Indifferent. recalls it. and she falls
back into grief. Yet she dwells from time to
time upon the faults of the beloved, but it is
only to contrast them with dazzling virtues.
This period would be tiresome enough for the
world at large; therefore it has been decided
to express it simply BY half mourning.
9th Period There 10 now only q softened
melancholy. which will last all her life. /. e.,
six weeks. This touching and graceful SEN
timent shows itself by a quiet aud gray silk
dress ; the sufferer less feels the loss than the
actual deprivations Of o husband.
We should be doing the author an ipjus-
tice if we omitted to give the beautiful pas
sage with which be concludes the subject
As to those who really grieye over their
relations, they will do well not to annoy the
world by signs Of a real grief; they will do
we'll to wear their sorrows within, as they do
when mourning over friends, these relations
made by The heart And if You should meet
with any such, DO not address to them con-
ventional consolation for there is a portion of
themselves which they have buried With their
dead. Their only consolation is the hope that
they shall never oe able to console them
selves that is to say, never to forget, never
to see those die in their heart whom they
have already seen disS Rac Hesb. Show those
afflicted ones that they have not Loot all. and
show them love is still left them. But all
this is not the fashion."-Frdzer's Mag

FROM LIBERIA.

We have the Liberia Herald of May Sd.
1t is the first issue of that paper since its
suspension in August, 1858, for want Of a
supply Of printing paper. The Herald being
the only vehicle of intelligence in Liberia, its
suspension has been felt here, as it must have
been there. The publisher in the present
number announces "a fine lot of paper, re-
ceived BY the Linda Stewart. which enables
him to resume the publication.
Liberia was likely to reap som advantage
from The difficulties in Europe. The MGR
chants Of Monrovia had been advised Of an
advance in England in the price of camwood
and palm oil. and Of the probability Of con-
tinued advance as long as the difficulties
with Russia should remain unsettled. I,
was thought that palm oil would be advan-
ced to As cents a gallon, and camwood from
IS to IS dollars a ton.
The Herald represents the Republic Of Ii.
IBERIA as rapidly advancing in prosperity. and
in the arts and blessings of civilization, and
as having within her all the requisites to en-
able her. with proper energies aud reasonable
outlay of means, to rise to a proud eminence
There had been, during the eight months il
which the Herald was suspended, no abate.
ment in the march Of improvement. either il
agriculture or mercantile operations ant
the whole aspect Of affairs was such as to en-
courage and stimulate energy and enterprise
New sources Of wealth had been opened, and
agriculture, the main pillar Of all countries
was prosecuted with a vigor hitherto un
known in Liberia. In u word the Herald
says, the people Of Liberia, If they properly
appreciate their position, are tho most happy
Of any 10 the world. Their trade is courtet
by all natives, and their Increases
in a ratio of a hundred per cent per annum
