A PLEASANT EXCURSION First Ban
fist Society and Sabbath School, of this CITY,
made an excursion to birmingham on Wed
nesday, and spent the day in most agreeable
manner, at Harmony Grove. In social inter
course, walking among the tall old trees, or
sailing in the beautiful pond, the morning S
hours few quickly by, and the dinner hour
having arrived, the whole party assembled
around the festive board.
Mr.. H. D. Smith, the Superintendent of the
Sabbath School, offered cordial welcome TO
all; and when the wants of the appetite had
been supplied, short and appropriate addresses
were made by Rev. Mr.. Swain, of West Cam
bridge, the former pastor of the society, Rev.
Mr.. Aldrich, Rev. Mr.. Childs of birmingham.
and Rev. Mr.. Mathews, alternating with sing
ing and reading from the Scriptures At two
o'clock the whole party again dispersed them
selves over the grounds, and made the woods
vocal with sounds of mirth and melody, until
the neigh of the iron horse announced that the
hour for departure had arrived.

OREAT COUNTING. to the count
of the Committee, there were l776 delegates
at the late Wing Convention. On the ballot
for Governor, a little more tn II 900 votes
were cast. Can it be that so great an indiffer-
ence was felt by the members, that only half
of them voted? Reports say that there was
not much enthusiasm i'll the Convention, and
if it is true that only half the members acted,
the reports are probably true.
Furthermore, it is said that after the nomi.
nation OF Mr.. Washburn, number of Wings
a0ho uOted for RocktoeH soithdre,o from the Con-
Uention.
We copy the above from the Greenfield Re
public, of the 2lst, and judging by what We
hear in other quarters, we opine that it is true
that the friends of Mr.. Rockwell retired from
the Convention, and that by this means alone
was the boosted unanimity obtained for the
ticket. We notice that the Springfield Re
publican does not have anything to say, as vet,
commendatory ofthe ticket, or the resolutions,
and that the editors have not, up to the pres
ent time, seen fit to place at the head of their
columns the tattered banner of Whiggerv, in
scribed with the names of the candidates.
We cannot believe that our Springfield neigh
bors seriously intend to bolt, but it certainly
looks as if their support of the nominations
would not be of the most cordial character.

The ANTI NEBRASKA STATE CONVENTION,
held last week at Saratoga Springs, has given
greater satisfaction to Its friends, and excited
more chagrin among its adversaries, than any
other Political movement of our day. Those
adyersaries have no cloak for their morttiea-
ton but falsehood, and are making very
prodigal use of that All their stories about
the Convention breaking up in row, splitting
i'll two, &C., are simple, naked fabricatlons-

four or five diverse, antagonist parties-Nh igs,

pers of the 18th say One Of the most singu-
lar and distressing accidents we have ever re-
corded occurred about half-past three o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon, at the Clinton roll
Jig mill in South PittNburg. 1t appears that
some days ago the brush on the hill, immedi-
ately in the rear of the MILL was set on fire,
aud has since continued to burn slowly
Wednesday afternoon it reached some logs,
one of which served to support heavy stone,
weighing, perhaps some 800 pounds. The
logs were consumed, and the stone being lett
without support, it rolled down the hill at
terrific rate, entered the rear of the mill, where
a man, Adam Weyland, was employed, and
striking him on the head and breast, il crush
ed him so that he died in less than two min
utes. The distance from the point of the hill
from where the stone fell to the mill was
about three hundred feet,
