required guarantee that the Principaities
should be evacuated; and the lIonfteuy of
Sunday confirms the despatch 1t is said in
Vienna that the Emperor of Russia added that
he would rather sacrifice his last soldier than
accept such conditions.
Some people still say that Prince Demfdoff
has not brought any definite answer from st.
Petersburg, but merely private note from
the Car to the King of Prussia, wherein the
four points are interpreted differently, and it
is for this reason that the Gar is willing to
enter on fresh negotiations.
Another despatch says that Baron Manteuf-
fel has received the official answer of the
Car to the proposals to recommence negotia-
tions upon the basis stipulated by the Western
Powers and that Russia unequivocallv de-
cllnes to accept the proposals. She will still
maintain the offensive. This last report is
probably correct.

A Worces1er Horsc Show.

tits always matter Tor regret with many,
that while there is so much of interest con-
uected with our annual Cattle Show, the ex.
hibition of horses has hardly been such as to
do credit to the city and county. We un-
doubtcdly have many very fine horses in
Worcester and the vicinity. 1t will be re-
membered that the Worcester horses were
most honorably noticed at the great Spring
field Horse Show. 1t is understood that the
number of horses entered for premiums the
present year. will be much larger than usual.
But we hear it suggested in many quarters,
that the Cattle Show festival would be good
time to bring out all our best horses-matchcd
spans, fast horses, horses for show, and horses
for work. In other words, that we shall not
be altogether behind our neighbors, and shall
have an impromptu Worcester Horse Show,
though without the premiums, Is it not
good idea We understand the suggestion
takes with the owners of the fine horses, and
we are sure it will with the public generally,
We could have display worth looking at.
The plan is, that on the morning of the last
day of the Cattle Show, cavalcade Of mount
ed gentlemen shall be formed to escort pro-
cession of the fine matched horses through
the principal streets, and then to the grounds
of the Agricultural Society on Highland ST.
The matched horses. of course, would, most
probably, be driven, and, it is thought, many
ladies and gentlemen may improve this oppor-
tunity of visiting the grounds, 1t is hoped
that the truckmen of the city VIII join the
cayalcade in body.
Now will not our citizens take an interest
in this projects They would give pleasure to
many persons, additional ealat to the Festival,
and cause a splendid display of fine horses.
We have permission to refer those DESTROYS of
procuring information as to the particulars of
the proposed plan to Drs. Geo. A. Bates,
Rufus Woodward, and Benz. Haywood, and
Mr.. VIM. c. Clark.

Arrival of tho AtInutic.

NEw YoRK, Sept. 10, a. NJ. The Col
Inns steamer Atlantic, Capt. West, from Liv-
erpool, Sept. 6, arrived here at IL o'clock
this morning bringing one day later dates
than the Ottawa at Quebec.
The Atlantic brings 224 passengers, and has
had constant heavy gales.
The weather continues extremely fair, and
harvesting was nearly over. The crops in
England and on the continent were most
abundant.
The unconditional refusal of the Gar to
accede to the peace proposals of the four DOW
ers, is confirmed. A Cabinet Council was
held at Vienna Immediately on the reception
of the reply. The Austrian and Swedish
Ministers are expecting to leave st. Peters
burg.
1t is reported that Christiana, ex-Queen of
Spain, is now insane from the effects of in

MExIco.-The Brownsville Flag of the I'd
gives the following Intelligence from the seat
of war in Northern Mexico -
Bloody Battle. There was another bloody
engagement between the insurgents and the
Government forces before the City of Victo-
ria. From what we can learn it seems that
Governor de la CARA was beseiged in Victo-
ria by regular force of 1000 men. The be-
seigers charged the breastworks of the be-
seiged with thoughts of an easy victory. The
numbers within the breastworks were not ex-
ceeding 900 or 700 men. The different char
ges were made upon the triple entrench-
ments, and each time was the enemy repuls-
ed with heavy loss. The insurgent statement
estimates the loss in killed and wounded, OH
the part OF the enemy, at 400, and we are
told that the officers of the regulars them
selves acknowledge loss of l60 men.
The fight, we are informed, continued for
three days, when, on the night of the third
day, the insurgents having exhausted their
ammunition and being out of provisions aban-
doned the city. This they were allowed to
do without opposition taking with them all
their artillery save two pieces of heavy cali
bre, which could not be removed and which
they spiked. In these engagements some
eight or ten officers are said to have been kill

liant Lieut.. Col. Lamadrid, of the regiment of

riots is said to have been very trifing.
On last Saturday evening three Of the po-
litical victims of the present tyrannic Gov.
eminent Of Mexico effected their escape from
their guards and made good their way to this
place. These gentlemen are Coils. Barbenera
and Zetina, and citizen, San Per. They
had been some time incarcerated in Matamo-
ras, and were on their way to the mouth of
the river to be sent to the fortress Of San Ju-
an de Uloa. The wrath of Gen. Woll at the
escape Of his victims is said to have been uu-
bounded.
OF the movements of the revolutionists in
the adjoining State, nothing is known posi-
lively.

For the spy.l


New WRENCH. Messrs. Editors. The
new Wrench you have spoken of in your
paper is just the article for the mechanic and
farmer. Mr.. Bsnj. Joslyn the inventor and
perfccter of this valuable improvement, has
been employed nearly year in bringing it
to perfection. As brief description of ii
may not be uninteresting to your readers, l
will attempt to give it in few words.
In its external appearance it is like other
wrenches. The movable jaw is governed by
two slides, one upon each side of the bar,
with nut. The slides play by nut working
in screw inside, and within the handle. II
any one has invented this Wrench before. it
is very strange that it has not been brought
into use, for it is No. article and no mis-
take, and its great advantages over all other
wrenehes are SO obvious that no man who
had seen one, made one, or used one, would
ever think of making or using any other.
Mr.. ]. has applied for patent, and will, no
doubt succeed in establishing his claim for
whatever people may have thought of, in con-
nection with Improvements in the manufac-
ture of the article, it is quite certain no one
has ever inoeasted wrench like this. -

The LAST SURvIvoR.-Simeon Hicks, of
Sunderland, the only survivor of the battle
of Bennington, was 80 years old on the 22d
ult. He is the eldest of his fathers twenty
four children by two wives, the second of
whom died at the age of 90. The subject of

years old, but for the last two years he has
kept his room, sleeping about % out of "a
hours of the day, and requiring to be reused
for his meals Though almost entirely de-
mented, it is said some of his early recollec-
tons come back to him occasionally with
some distinctness in the evening.

FIRE IN PITTSFIELD. - STRANGE DIsCLo-
sUREs.-About 2 o'clock on Monday morning
fire broke out in the new and beautiful res
idence in process of completionf or Messrs.
Fem and Carter, on South st. The fremen
were promptly on the ground. but owing to
the combustible state of the building, and
the scarcity of water in that vicinity, their
efforts were unayailing and in short time
the building was burned to the ground. The
loss, which falls upon the contractor, T. G.
Atwood, is nearly $4,000, and no insurance.
The house was not inhabited. The fire broke
out in three places almost instantaneously,
and the verdict Of public opinion, without
dissent, is incendiarism.
While the above building was yet in flames,
fire was discovered in the grocery store of
5. u. Blgelow, in Browns block, corner of
North and Fem streets. The proprietor who
was in his sleeping apartment above, was
immediately alarmed, and the fire which had
but just caught, was extinguished without
difficulty. The evidences of incendiarism in
this case are very hagrant and conclusive
Cotton wicking saturated with camphene was
trailed trailed among boxes and barrels, and
topped upon the shelves from one end of the
store to the other. Shavings and other in
hammable substances soaked also in camphene
were strewn upon the floor, piled up with
care in sundry places. and thrown loosely
into the half-open drawers. The fire origin
ated in the writing desk, and almost the only
things destroyed were the papers of MI

RAILROAD Aco1DENT.-From the st. Louis
IntelEigencer we learn that on the 18th inst,
as the freight train from Chicago to st. Louis
was crossing the bridge over the river Des
PLANES, near Joliet freight car jumped the
rails, breaking away in its fall considerable
portion of the structure, and in quick sue
cession eight loaded cars were piled up on top
of each other in the river bed below. The
water in the river was not deep, but the pack
ages in the cars were badly broken. and boots,
shoes, dry goods, hats, silks, jewelry, cloths,
wines and oils, were all mingled together in
anything but picturesque confusion. A large
quantity also escaped from the broken cars,
and either foated down the stream, or sunk
to the bottom. The Lnteiijgencer estimated
the loss at $l5, 900 to 100000.

WONDERFUL EsoAPE.- The LoaoeU Ne,os
says that few days since, as D. w. Bixby
was riding in a chaise with a Miss Colburn of
Nashua, and Miss Chase of Litchfeld, across

The mansion of J. Van Rensselaer,, of Sar-
atoga Springs, narrowly escaped destruction
by lire, originating in spontaneous combus-
ton, one day last week. To satisfy himself
afterwards as to the origin Of the fire, Mr..
Van Rensselaer, prepared a pile of rags, sat
urated with hnseed oil, spirits of turpentine
and coloring matter used in staining window
sash-it being in precisely such an accumula-
ton that the fire was first discovered-and in
few hour he found the pile in flames. The
fact is cited as being likely to interest paint
ers, colorers and insurance companies.
