DISTRESSING CAsuALTY.-We are panied to
announce another shocking accident, says the
Richmond Dispatch of the 18th ult., resulting
from the careless use of firearms. On Monday
afternoon last, young lady of Norfolk, Miss
Margaret Webb, daughter Of Mr.. John NJ. Webb,
while on a visit to friend at Ferry Point, was
fatally injured by the discharge Of pistol in
the hands of VIM, Howe, her cousin. Several
versions of the sad affair are given, one of which
is that Mr.. Fl. had been yainly endeavoring to
discharge the pistol at dog, and did not see
the young lady as she approached, when the
fatal discharge took place. Another is that he
enormously supposed but one barrel of the pistol
| was loaded, and this he fred in the yard. Then
putting on percussion caps, he returned to the
house in which were Miss W. and others, and
pointing the pistol at some of those present,
pulled the trigger and discharged several caps
without doing harm; but on pointing it towards
the lady mentioned, one barrel was discharged
lodging ball in her neck, inficting terrible
wound just above the collar-bone on the left
side, and she fell to the floor, bleeding most pro-
fusely, The Norfolk Argus informs US that she
fingered in intense agony until ii o'clock Tues
day morning, when she was relieved of her sui.
ferings by death. Miss W. was young lady q
IS, pious and amiable. All accounts agree thai
the shooting was accidental, though there was
undoubtedly much carelessness.

VINO IS Mrs. PARTINGToN Y'-The in
quiry is frequently made, &C Who is Mrs.
Darlington p We first read of the old lady
in speech made by Sydney Smith-the wit
test and probably the wisest man of his day
at Taunton, England, in 1881, on the subject
of Parliamentary reform, by which Great
Britain was then much agitated. He was in
sisting that the possibility of the House of
Lords defeating the reform movement, was the
most absurd notion that ever entered into hui
man imagination. And to illustrate the flu
tility of resisting the popular demand, he said:
81 do not mean to be disrespectful, but the
attempt of the Lords to stop the progress of
reform reminds me very forcibly of the great
storm of Sidmouth. and of the conduct of the
excellent Mrs. Darlington on that occason.-
In the winter of 1924 there set in great flood
upon the town the tide rose to an incredible
height, the waves rushed in upon the houses,
and everything was threatened with destruc-
ton. In the midst Of this sublime and terri
bic storm Dame Darlington, who lived upon
the beach, was seen at the door of her house,
with mop and pattens, trunding her mop,
squeezing out the sea- water, and vigorously
pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The At
lantic was aroused. Mrs. Partington's spirit
was up but need not tell you that the con-
test was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat
Mrs. Darlington. She was excellent at a
slop or puddle; but she should not have
meddled with tempest" Buffalo CONNER

SuFFERINGs OF Col. FREMONT AND PARTY.
A correspondent of the Salt Lake News thus
notes the arrival of Colonel Fremont at that
place:
On the 9Th of February, the man on the
lookout at Parowan reported company sup
posed to be Indians, coming into the north
end of the valley, twenty miles distant from
Parowan, and about IL o'clock in the morn
ing of the It'll, Col. John G. Fremont, with
nine white men and twelve Delaware Indians,
arrivan in Parowan in a state of starvation;
one of his men had fallen dead from his horse
the day previous, and several more must have
shared his fate had they not had succor that
day. They reported that they had eaten
twenty-seven broken down animals; that
when horse or mule could go no further, it
was killed and divided out, given one-haf to
the Delawares, and the other to the Colonel
and his men the hide was cut in pieces and
cast lots for.
After the bones had been made into soup,
they were burned and carried along by the
men for luncheon. The entrails were shaken,
and then made into soup, together with the
feet and eyes, thus using up the whole mule.
They stated that they had travelled forty
days living on this kind of fare.
Although Col. Fremont was considered by
the people an enemy to the saints, and had no
money, he was kindly treated, and supplied
on credit with provisions for himself and men,
while at Parowan, and fitted out with provis-
ions and animals to pursue his journey, and
went on the way rejoicing, on the 10th of
February. The Colonel was sanguine that he
had found the best route for the great national
railway.

with chapter of senseless twaddle, in which
the Philistines at Worcester and Boston came

exhibited, was three cheers for Orr, and three
groans for the Pope. If the public will let
this insane itinerant alone severely, both he

pay for considerable quantities of merchandise
stolen from the cars. Suspicion finally fell
upon a man named Van Alstine, an employee

that he was suspected, and left for Amboy,

RATHER ToueH.-The following statement
by the Catoclin, (Ind.,) Wing, sounds rather
Munehausenish
SAT this office may be seen, for few days,
q rare curiosity, in the shape Of cane, which
was used for many years by John M Neal,
Esq, and which he stuck in the ground, on
his farm, three miles northeast of Middleton,
(now the property of Jacob Michael, Esq.,
about fortyfve years ago. The cane com
menced growing, and in short time thick
coat of bark was formed around it, and hav-
ing been carefully trimmed as it grew up, and
increased in dimensions to the height of ninety
feet The tree, after withstanding the wintry
blasts of forty five years, yielded up its vital
ity, md was cut down by Mr. Michael few
weeks ago. In splitting up the first cut. the
identical cane, as first planted, dropped from
the centre of the log, just the same as it was
forty-6ve years ago.
This is no more remarkable than case
which is said to have occurred in this vicinity,
chair business fourished to such an extent,
in Sterling, that it was difficult at tiues to
get seasoned timber One manufacturer, less
CONSCIENTIOUS Than the rest of his fellow towns
men, it is said, worked stuff brought fresh
from the woods. He sent load of these chairs
to Providence, and, while passing through
border town of Rhode Island, a country
trader bought two or three dozens of them
The purchaser hung them up by their backs,
on some nails, driven into the walls of the
room over his store. 1t was in hot June
weather, aud, on visiting the room, three or
four days afterwards, he found that the timber
had shrunk SO that the chairs had all fallen to
pieces, and lay strewed upon the floor, under
where they had hung. Being quick witted
man, he was determined not to be baffled So
but gathered up the fragments, took them
into the damp cellar under the store, and,
constructing the chairs, left them to swell,
and the joints to become tight, by the moist
ure of the cellar. A week or ten days after,
on visiting the cellar, judge of his surprise at
finding that the stuff was SO green that it
was actually growing, and the chairs present.
cd the very novel spectacle, of little chairs,
sprouting out all over them.
