supreme Judicial Court.
IupaE THOMAS PRESIDING.

TUESDAY, May 2.
The case of Alexander Brown Us the Provi-
dence and Worcester Railroad, came up by
appointment. Judge Allen appeared for the
plaintiff, and Nath Wood and Henry Chaplin,
Esls., for the defendants.
The plaintiff sued to recover SIS, 000, as COM
pensation for damage sustained by him, by
reason of in uries to his son, John
Brown, minor, in consequence of a. collis-
sion near Valley Falls, on the Providence and
Worcester railro ad, on the 18th day of August
last a
Judge Allen opened, by briefly stating the
circumstances Of the case. On the 18th of
August, 1853, John Brown, the plaintiff, and
his two brothers, Alexander and Thomas,
went on board the cars at Whitinsville, with
an excursion party, bound for Newport r. 1.
A collision took place between train from
Providence, and the train on board of which
he was. Thomas Brown was killed, Alexan-
der escaped, and John had four ribs broken
be&des receiving several severe Commissions on
theleg. back, and head. He was carried to
Pawtucket, and remained there three weeks.
Since his recovery he has been affected with
pains in his side and back, besides splitting
blood, &c.
For the death Of his son Thomas, the plain
siff is not allowed any compensation by the
laws Of Rhode Island. For the injuries sus-
tanned by John, however he can, by the laws
of Massachusetts,, recover damages. The ac-
cident resulted from the want of due care
on the part of the railroad corporation to pro-
vide for the safety of those whom it contracted
to carry over its road, and consequently it is
liable for such want of care.
John Brown was called, and testified that
he had four ribs broken by the collision, and
was otherwise SO I'M ured that he is now una
bic to perform aay severe manual labor. For
merly he worked in the mill at Whitin's and
earned 81 week.
In the cross examination, the witness
stated that, since the accident, he slid down
Hill on sled, had throvs few snow-balls,
and had engaged, once or twice, in ball
play; but he stated, in answer to Judge Al
len, that he was compelled to desist from those
exercises, in consequence of the pain in his
side.
Alexander Brown testified that he attended
his brother while he was in Pawtucket, and
that he has slept with him since he came
home. Had frequently been awakened by John
uttering expressions Of pain in his sleep.
Other witnesses testified that the general
health of John had materially suffered from
the injuries he had received; and that he was
otnow, capable of performing such labor as
he was accustomed to before the accident.
J. R. Brownson, M. D., of Valley Falls,
Lloyd Morton, N. D., of Pawtucket testified
that they attended John Brown after the ac-
cident. DR.. Brownson saw him shortly after
the accident and examined him. Four of his
ribs were broken; he was cut above the right
eye, and near the left shoulder, and was bruis-
cd on the back, arm, and leg. The injury to
his ribs was simple fracture. Both physi-
clans concurred in describing the apparent in
jury as not avery serious one.

WINrRY WEATHER IN NEW BRuNsw1oK.-
Thesprlng is very backward in the province of
New Brunswick. The Woodstock { N. B. }
Sentinel says in that vicinity the snow is from
to feet deep in the woods. Cattle are starv-
ing to death in many parts of the country for
want of food, and from present appearances at
least month must elapse before they will be
able to procure a sustenance from the grow

Mr.. J. A. Wbipple, o6 Court Street, Boston,

that Of the late Rev. DR.. Young. which is pro-
nounced very fine likeness, by all who have
seen copies of it. One paper speaking Of it
says that, at little distance it looks like
6ne engraving. This remark, however, well
intended, fails to do justice. No engraving

one Of whipple's, and we have seen others,
which; when viewed through tube, stand
out as palpably and perfectly, in form, as if
they had been carved by an artist from marble
or any other material, and the resemblance,
Of the object fromiwhich they are taken, must
be perfect. We advise our friends who have
taste for works Of art, to visit Mr.. Whipple,s
rooms, when in Boston. They viii find him
very courteous and civil, and will see many
things there worth seeing.

ATTEMPTED AssAssINATIoN.-The Boston
Journal, OF last evening, gives the particulars
of very singular and desperate attempt to
assassinate Mr.. Joseph Paine, one Of the Ed
itors of the Yankee Blade, at his house in
West Newton, on Tuesday morning. 1t says,
that between three and four o clock this morn-
ing, the house of Mr. Elias b. Paine was en-
tered by stranger, the noise of whose move
ments aroused Mr.. Joseph Paine, son Of
Mr.. E. B. Paine, young man oftwenty
or six years OF age, who was sleeping in the
lower part of the house. Young Paine sprung
from his bed and concealed himself in the
corner of the room just as the intruder enter
ed. The man went directly to the bed, and
seemed disappointed to fnd it unoccupied, ut
tering a slight ejaculation. AS he turned
away, young Paine sprung upon him, and was
Immediately assaulted with dirk knife, and
stabbed in several places. Paine at last sue
ceeded in wrenching the knife from the hands
of his assailant, when the fellow drew pistol,
which Paine grasped, and by extraordinary
good fortune has little finger toas 5etaceen the
cap and the hammer Just as the feilo@ dreao the
triggeri The hammer of the pistol took
small piece of flesh out of the finger The
fellow made second attempt TO discharge the
weapon, but Paine struck his arm, and the
ball entered the ceiling of the room.
The struggle was then renewed, Paine in
turn being the assailant, inhicting upon the
fellow two stabs with the knife The man
succeeded, however, in getting out of the
house, but closely followed by Paine, and the
struggle was renewed in the garden.
Paine, finding himself growing weaker, and
fearing that the man would escape tripped
him over a terrace back of the house, and
both rolled down an embankment of ten feet,
when the stranger succeeded in disengaging
himself, and escaped just as the family, who
had been aroused by the report of the pistol
which was fired during the struggle in the
house, arrived at the spot.
Young Paine, who is of slender frame, and
has long been somewhat feeble in bodily
health, was severely but not dangerously in
jured. He was much exhausted from loss Of
blood when the family reached the spot, and
had been severely bruised by the fall over the
embankment. He will probably be confined
to the house for many days by the injuries he
has received. No less than seven stabs We're
inflicted on his person, on his breast, side and
arms, some of which are quite severe, and
bled very freely.
1t is believed that the assassin was severely
stabbed by Mr.. Paine, and he has left behind
a dirk knife and pistol of peculiar make which
will probably lead to his identification and ar
rest. The roads in the vicinity were searched
as soon after the affair as the neighbors could
be aroused, but no arrest was made.
