GABRIEL. = This unfortunate individual
nada his -l4As&i advent in Worcesfer. last even
ing at seven o,oleal-, and proceeded at once to
the Common where he addressed a very large
crowd of men, women, and boys, until dusk,
in accordance with previous arrangements
His speech, if speech it may be called, was
delivered in loud tone of voice, without or
der or method, and consisted mainly of mar
alive of his personal trials, sufferings, and
prosecutions, varied occasionally by blast on
his trumpet, aud trade of abuse against the
Mayor, the Pope, the "Mickies" and the Spy.
There were no indications of disturbance any
where visible, the dominant feeling among the
audience seeming to be one of pity and COM
miseration, that man who had evidently seen
better days, and who had seen capable of bet
ter things should make such an exhibition of
the in6rinities of shattered intellect for the
amusement of an unthinking crowd. At the
close Of Mr.. Orr's speech, Dexter T. Parker,
who appeared to ce master of the ceremonies,
made short speech, defining his position on
the "Gabriel movement" He asked the as
semblage, to remember all those who had
been the friends of Mr.. Orr, at the next Mu-
nicpal election"-and only desired !" they
should forget the humble individual that now
addressed them
These ceremonies being concluded Mr. Par
ker availed himself of our suggestion in re-
gard to the circulation of a contribution box,
as the best means for dispensing crowd, and
hats began to circulate, and change to jingle
quite freely. The sum of thirty three dollars
was found to be the sum total Of receipts,
with which the angel presently departed,
in coach, accompanied by two or three
friends. for the quarters that had been pre-
pared for him, at the Nashua House, where
we trust he passed comfortable night.

MYSTERIOUS gentleman came on the
cars from the East and put up at the Ex-
change Hotel in this city,on the 18th of April
last, entering his name on the register as Z" H.
and continued to grow worse until the 18th
instant, when he died. His disease was ty-
phoid fever. His attending physician was
Prof. Allen, who counseled with other able
physicians in the city. He had in his possession
$72 in gold, gold watch, and heavy chain,
worth some $3.50, and other articles all of which
are in safe keeping. He had number of
cards purporting to be of the firm of Scamp
& Bates, Wholesale Druggists, No. 142 Pearl
Street, New York. the name of the Junior
partner of which house, he entered upon the
register of the Exchange. From subsequent
inquiries we are led to doubt whether he en-
tered his true name. He obstinately refused
to give any clue to the residence of his friends,
or the former domicil of himself. For the last
ten days or more of his illness he was insane
He was about % years of age, feet inches
high, light complexion, dark blue ewes,
brown hair and would weigh in health about
1856 pounds. He had bill of the watch, rur-
porting to be made by Ball, Black, & Co., New
York, dated April IL, 1854. He was well
cared for and carefully attended during his
illness, and decently buried. Any further in
formation respecting him can be obtained by
appleton to E. W. Palmer, keeper Of the Ex-
change, in this city.-Ann Ar5or s( Michigan
Argus, 1871.

The Iniquity Consummatcd.

The Nebraska bill has passed the House
The final vote upon the question was taken
in that body, on Monday night, little before
midnight, and the bill was carried through un-
der the gag. by vote of one hundred and
thirteen yeas, to one hundred nays
Thirteen Wings from the Slave States voted
for the bill, and five against it, and in the
Free States every Wing vote was in opposi-
ton to the bill.
From the Slave States there were fifty three
Democrats voted in favor of the bill, and four
against it; and from the Free States, forty
six against it. The five Freesol members, of
course all voted nay. So the question is set
lied SO far as it is in the power of Congress to
se.tleit, that the Missouri Compromise is null
andIvoid, and by the time Frank Pierce has
written his name beneath the infamous en-
actment, the last barrier of Freedom against the
encroachments Of slavery upon her sacredly
guaranteed heritage in the Northwest win be
broken down.
We are not surprised at the result, nor at
Lne meduS Which, nave Dceu IcoOI tcu ~, "
accomplish it, but we shall be surprised if this
desperate villainy, on the part of their rulers,
does not arouse the people of the North, as
one man, in deadly hostility against the trail
tors by whose acts it has been accomplished.
1t is now settled forever, beyond all question,
and all controversy, that Southern politicians
are, for the most part, utterly selfish and mer-
cenary--that the obligations of honor, justice,
patriotism, and law, possess not the weight of
a feather with them, upon any issue in which
the question of slavery extension is concerned;
and further. that there is no limit to the SER
Witty and meaness of Northern men, other
than that which the people can apply by maxi
ing their position on the slavery question a
test in all future elections of their Representa-
ives.

A HORRIBLE SITUATIoN.-A correspondent
of the N. Y. Herald, relates, that as a man
named Giraud, was working several weeks
since, with fellow laborer, in well near
Lyons, the soil fell in, and completely buried
lhem, with the exception of very small aper-
ture, caused by the crossing of some stones
and planks above them. Their friends gather
ed around, but from the peculiar character of
the soil every effort to extricate them only en-
dangered their position. Finally an engineer
was sent for, who after introducing tube
through the aperture, SO as to supply them
with food, proceeded to take active measures
for the rescue of the unfortunate Giraud,
whose companion had already died at his side.
The work of liberating him was carried on
very cautiously, so that at the date of the let
ter, three weeks after the occurrence of the
accident, he had not yet been rescued,
although they expected to reach him the next
day. What rendered the position of the un-
fortunate man still more terrible, was the fact
that the body of his companion had began to
decay, and notwithstanding bags of quick
lime had been let down for Giraud to admin
lister, the vapor of an awful pestilence infected
the little space which was left him to breathe.

The GAS Explosion IN New YoRK. The
explosion of gas which occurred in New York
on Saturday morning, is said to have been &C.
casioned by neglect and carelessness on the
part of persons employed to put in gas fix
lures. Gas had been escaping several days,
and finally became so offensive that a man
was sent to repair the pipes. As the work.
man approached the spot with lamp, an aw-
full explosion ensued, tearing up the floors Of
the second story, blowing the stairs up to the
ceiling above, and shattering a number of
windows, besides setting the building on fire.
The flames were speedily extinguished, and
it was found that several persons had been in
jured, though with the exception of plumb
er, named Petit, not seriously. The damage
to property was about $4,000.

FROM HoNDURAs.-The pilot boat George
Steers, from Omoa, Honduras, arrived at Mo-
bile on the 10th inst, bringing as passengers
Amory Edwards, of New York, and others.
The Mobile Register has the following by this
arrival:
Mr.. Edwards is President of the Honduras
Railroad Company, and from him we learn
that the surveys of a route from Porto Cabello
through the State of st. Salvador, to Port
Union, on the Pacific, a distance of two hun
bred leagues, are rapidly progressing, and
prove that road can be built without any
serious obstacles. The summit, the plain of
Comayagua, is 1886 feet above the ocean, and
the harbors of the Gulf of Fonseco, on the
South, and Porto Cabello, ON the North, are
the best harbors in Central America, with ten
fathoms of water ON the bar in both. The
Congress at Honduras has ratified a contract,
granting the company two and half millions
of acres of valuable lands, to aid in the con-
struction of the work. The country through
which the road will pass, is table land, and
mostly timbered with pitch pine, and is very
healthy.
Destructive EartbquGkeS.-On the 10th of
April, severe earthquakes occurred in the
State of st. Salvador, Central America, near
ly destroying the capital. Many of the prin-
cipal Iildings, and about six hundred fami-
lies were buried in the earth. For some time
previous to the calamity, the rumbling sounds
were heard, and the ground appeared to wave
under the weight of the buildings.

to the great principles upon which it was
founded, may not, by its magnitude, deter
them from all attempts to resist these en-

The WESTERN METEoR.-A splendid me-
teor has been observed all through Indiana,
and west to the Mississippi River The Grant
County Herald has the following description ::
Son Friday evening last, few minutes after
shutdown, an immense meteor was observed
shooting from point Of about sixty degrees
above the horizon, and ten degrees west of
north, toward the horizon. In shout Sec
ond Of time, it fell through some thirty degrees,
or more, leaving an intensely bright track Of
na@s S6ro u fe whA tf which lasted
sion or die The explosion appeared
like that of rocket, scattering many balls of
fire. From the point of explosion, along the
line trayersed by the meteor, was left a dense
vapor, at first of apparently great heat, but
gradually changing, as if by cooling, into a
white smoke. This streak of white vapor, or
smoke, after remaining some ten minutes,
during which it swayed into zigzag, separat-
ed from the mass of vapor left around the
point of explosion, and gradually coiling into
a circular form, hoated away toward the west.
The mass of vapor around the point of explo-
sion separated apparently over some eight or
ten degrees, around its outer edge, seeming,
in few minutes after the explosion, white
but, toward the centre, like a dim flame
Near the centre of the point of explosion,
could be discovered a point of intense fire,
and to the eastward of this, flashing lanes.-
This apparent burning point moved toward
the east, with such rapidity that its motion
could readily be discovered by the eye. The
mass of vapor around the point of explosion
was visible for about half an hour, when it,
with the burning point, disappeared. The
mass of vapor that had coiled iteelf UP from
the point of explosion to near the point of the
starting of the meteor, was visible for much
longer time. There was no noise accompany
ing the explosion.
