STATE SENTINEL.-Mr j. C. Walker re-
tires from the State Sentinel in neat and APP
propriate address. Mr.. C. w. Cotton the local
editor, has also retired. The Sentinel has
been purchased by Messrs. John s. Spann and
John B. Norman, the former of indianapolis,
and the latter of the New Albany Ledger.
We have no doubt these gentlemen will make
the Sentinel Jealous Old Line paper, and we
hope such paper as may win the respect Of
its opponents as well as of its friends. We
wish them success pecuniarily and shall be-
grudge them no political success they may
win by fair and hard blows.

4 New KIND OF APE-Professor Owne the
celebrated naturalists, describes species ofape
recently discovered on the western coast of
Africa, named the Gorilla species, the adults
of which attain the height of five feet five
inches, and are three feet broad across the
chest. His head is double the size offs mans
and its extremities are enormously developed.
They exist in some numbers in the iutermina-
BILE forests Of the Gambia river. The negroes
of the country, in their excursions into the
forests in search of ivory, exhibited. little fear
of the lion, as it SUNK away from man; but
they dreaded the gorilla, for when he saw a
man advancing he came down out of the tree
to the attack, and could strangle man with
TIE greatest ease. The strength of this man
ape is enormous; his jaw is as powerful as
that of a lion, and his canine teeth equally for
midable.

his fortune there He had little son, whom
be took with him, and whose name was John
Singleton CopIpy.
John was a very studious boy, aud made such
rapid progress in his studies that bis father sent
him 10 college. There he applied himself so
closely 10 his books, and became 50 distinguish

he would make very eminent man.
After he graduated, be studied law. And
when he entered upon the practice OF bis pro-
tesson, his mind was richly stored with ntor-
nation, and SO highly disciplined by his previ-
Gus diligence that he almost immediately or
tained celebrity. One or two cases of very
great importance being entrusted to him, he
managed them with so much wisdom and skill
as to attract the admiration of he whole British
nation.

government. They raised him from one post

that John Singleton Copley is now Lord Lynd-
hurst, Lord High Chancellor of England, About
90 years ago ne was a poor portrait painter,
hardly able to get bis bread.
Now John is at the head Of the nobility in
England one Of the most distinguished men in
talent and power in the House Of Lords, and re-
garded with reverence and respect by the whole
civilized world. This is the reward Of indus

OF such character is the taking occasion to
plunder the sufferers on the occasion Of some
terrible calamity, such as a railroad or steam
boat disaster. And this enormiy has, OF late,
become a settled thing--a matter requiring the
most vigiant investigation and the severeSt cor
rection A the time of the Camden and Am
boy disaster, we noted ip several cotemporary
papers accounts Of The =Pluudrr OF the dead and

from the St. Louis Republican that at the time
of the late accident at the Gasconade bridge,
numbers of wretcheS were on hand who, IN
place of aiding the wounded, began at once to
strip them OF their watches and other proper

vultures came In such numbers, remarkng tha-

confident that this was the cause Of the meian-

Rudolph died the next morning, after great
suffering. Henry and the woman are in fair

Dr.. Ray very properly adds that this should
be a warning to all house keepers, who shonld
forthwith dispense with all copper vessels id

for any purpose except, perhaps, heating wa

All the salts Of copper are very poisonous,
and particularly ;he acetate (verdigrs;) and this
salt is easily aud very quickly formed il cop

been cooked.
It may be stated that the health of a whole
family may be greatly impaired by the use Of
copper vessels in the preparation Of their daily
food, even though they may not take enough

Henry and Rudolph Stolsenburg, who have a
negro woman hired to cook and keep house for
them.
Shortly after eating dinner on Monday, the
9th inst, the two men and woman Were seized
with violent sickness, vomiting, pnfglng, and
intense abdominal pains. A sasplcion Of poison
arose 10 the minds OF the nen, and one Of them,
with much difficulty, staggered to the door and
called to Aessrs. John and Henry Clay, who
were going home from town, to send for ply

patched (about 4 P. Nj for Dr. Ray, of Paris,
who arrived at the place about six P. M.
Before the arrival Of DR.. R., the Messrs. Clay

HORRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

At Z O'Clock last evening, as an engine was
backing up towards the depot across The bridge,
Mr.. James Parsons brother CT ex-Alderman
Thomas Parsons-who superinendS the saw
mill al the east end of the bridge, was struck
down by the locomotive, and dragged or rolled
the whole length OF the bridge, mangled dread
fully, and his head SO mutlaled that it'was inn
possible to identify the body by the featurrs. 1t
was dark, and the accident was not discovered
until the engine had passed into the depot,
leaving the body by the side ofthe track. Sew
era persons who came up TO the spot immedi-
ately recognized the remains as those OF Mr..
Parsons. Search was made, when it was
certaned that be- bad probably jus; stepped out
of his office, at the northeast corner OF the
bridge, and was Immediately caught by the
backing engine, thrown upon the track, and
carried along by the wheels. His hat was
found pear his Office, and his cane some 80 feet
from it. The first blow must have killed him,
as the brain was scattered near the spot where
he must have received the shock. A lady who
was crossing the bridge at the time, stated that
she saw the man rolling under the car wheels.
The body was picked up near the switch house,
Just beyond the eastern entrance 10 the depot.
