An Italian warehouse.keeper in Paluz-
zuolo "a iauborg Of Florence) was buried
for dead in the Trespiano cemetery, with
many other supposed corpsss, in common
grave. He awoks 10 sense Of conscious
ness, and so thin was the covering of san
dy earth above him that he made his way
out 10 the surface. Still veal, he lived
for 8 days on roots in the forest which sur.
rounds the grave yard. At last he recov-
cred sirength sufficient to reach his house,
where he startled his family, who were in
mourning for him. He assured them tina,
he distinctly felt the bodies of numerous
people inferred with him moving about
Tho grave was consequently opened, and
was found that many (en in number, as
have soid) had stirred, and several OF them
had bitten their fingers IN agony, and 9th
erwise injured themselves. Theo were all
dead when the investigation was made
The utmost excitement prevailed on the
subject among the populo,ion-(Corres-

A CoLoRED Beau BnUNMELL.- While
in Louisville, we went one evening. with a
northern friend, as late as eleven o'clock
at night, to "a Negre Fair" for the
improvement, of the finances oil 1.-The
hall where it was held was large and well
filled. The "lar" had been kept up for two
weeks, and was to last a week longer.
The articles, many Of them tastefuliy made,
were all admirable arranged. The stable
were presided over by sable attendants
with berfect propriety, not to say grace.
and no hundred and fifty persons, Of both
sexes, we ever saw gathered together, be-
haved with more courteous politeness, or
were more apparently happy. For the
black doll and ice cream which we bought
all the change was brought back, and

remarked colorsd Beau Brummell among
the audience, whose organ OF Language"

LEGAL JokIAG.-NotA ithsia nding the
the dry and uninteres,ing details of busi-
meas in administering law in our conrts of
justice, there is an occasional bon mot Civ
en- Inference to, which the surrounding cir
cumslances render all the more laughabe.
A case Of this kind occurred the other day
at our Supreme Court, when r. w. Greene
Esq, late Chief Justice, was engaged in
argument in support Of motion which he
bad made, as counsel in certain case.
The opposing counsel quoted decision
rendered by Judge Greene, Will, on the
bench, which he claimed covered the case
precisely, and was in direct opposition to
the ground now occupied by the learned
Judge as counsel.
In answer thereto, Mr.. Greene, address
ing himself to the Court said that he would
not say as did late Chief Of Justice Of
New Hampshire, who, falling of re-elect-
ion to the bench. had resumed the prac lice
of the law as counsellor, and was arguing
question in direct opposition to his owa
decision, whereupon the Judge, his sue.
cessor, asked him how he would get over
that decisions /; to which he replied" May
it please your honor, il had not. while act-
ing as Chief Justice, made that and two or
three other foolish decisions, should now
be where your honor 10, and your honor
would be where now am"
A general laugh ensued, after which the
Judge disclaimed any intention of applying
the anccdote to the present case.-Prop.

Between 2 and 'oclok, 8 This mornig, a
fire broke out in Hecker's Flour Manu-
factory, Ia four story buiIding) foot of
Bridge street, Brooklyn, destroying almost
the entire stock, consisting OF from 10000
TO $4,000 bushels Of Wheat, and 800 bar.
rels OF Flour.
The origin Of the fire is not known, it
having broke out In the Office, which is on
the second or main floor, where there had
been no light for two or three hours pre-.
vious. Although set Of hands are kept at
work during the night, the flames spread
with such rap;dity that some time elapsed
before they were cognizant of the fact.
The men we're engaged in the base
ment Of the building, and this in some
measure accounts for the fire gaining such
headway before discovered, although the
company had a steam pump connected with
their machinery, with six buckets to each
floor. The machinery, valued at $4,000,
and extending through the entire building,
was totally destroyed, excepting the engine
which was located in building adjoining,
situated on Bridge street, but closely con-
nccted with the main building.
A portion of the wheat will answer for
starch manufactures, but is entirely use.

posted up In either "book larnin' or the
learning oi the law, but relied principally
upon his native tact and shrewdness-hls

active demand for his services. On one
occasion he was ptted against "smart ap.
pearing," well dressed limb of the law
from neighboring village, who made con-
siderable sport of paper which Reynolds
had submitted to the court remarking,
among other things that ''all law papers
were required to be writtsr 10 the English
language, and that the one under consider
alton from its bad spelling and penmansbip
ought in fairness therefore to be excluded"
"Gen'l'men of the jury" said Reynolds
when he had summed up"-and every
word weighed a pound-"the learned coun

the case depended on sich natter! I'm

in Sleeper's saw mill at Middleport, on
Saturday last. 1t Appeals that he started
the mill without full head of steam on,
and then preceded below to arrange the
sfarp on The drum, and while leaning over
his frock was caught BY the gearing, which
whirled him violently around the shaft, tear
ing his clothes completely off, and mang-
ling him in frightful manner. 1t is un-
certain how long he remained in this posi-
ton when discovered he was found some
three feet from the shaft, with the flesh
torn from both legs to the knee, leaving
the bones and muscles exposed
One arm was pulled out Of the socket, and
abruise on the face was discovered. His
boots were thrown some distance by the
violence Of the motion. The unfortunate
man had worked in the mill over 40 years.

OF Rschol's performance at the Metrop.
oli.an Theatre on Monday evening, tho N.
Y. Courier and Enquirer ssys.--
Mile Rachel never played before q larg-
er audience, or, we will venture to add, ono
more worthy Of the utmost effort Of her ex-
irsordinary powers, than that which ihrong
ed Metropolitan Theatre last evening"
Men distinguished in letters, in politics.
and in the learned professions, and women
acknowledged as ornaments and leaders of
OF society, were thickly scattered through
a brilliant crowd which extended from the
orchestra to the last available standing
place in the gallery. This audience SEEM
ed to be in entire sympathy with her, and
she showed the enAuence which It's pres.
ence had upon her never has she acted
with greater abandonment to her concept
ion Of a part,-an abandonment which be-
came, SO to speak, intense and never has
she so thrilled her hearers. The fourth
act of Horace from the comm ncement of
the relation OF the combat was grand, and
rose TO climax that became truly terrible.
She was tw ice recalled after the fall OF the
curtain with tumult and revel of applause.
La Marseilloise crowned the evening"
What was it? Singing? A hosrse voice,
broken, incapable Of sustaining the melody
Of the simplest romance ,ssand utter want of
skill in vocalism--such are Rachels gifts
rs q songsiress. But what, could melody
have added to that inspired chant Of Liber-
y7 Melody would have made il a differ
ent thing but how far from being betteri
1t seemed as If centuries Of wrong had
turned Liberty from an angel to demon.
and that she was possessed of 1t. She
quivered and cried out as the spirit worked
its will with her, and made her utter its
fierce hatred and fercer hopes. Death
famed from her eye, and the frantic wave
of her hand was like a call to vengeance
which millions mutt rise and answer
The house was alternately hushed and in
an uprosr. Well may Frenchmen take
proud delight in her delivery of this, the
most, perhaps the only. pure French crea-
ton which is destined to Immortality in
spite Of emperors and academies"
The Tribune says
"Let us not forget, but acknowledge
with gratitude, that this song was last night
a homage paid to American feeling. With
q keen perception Of her own powers,
Mile Rachel declined to sing the Marseil-
laise. When, however, she was asked in
the name of Lafayette, name round
which ure gathered the memories of so
many French straggles.and American tri-
UNI hs for freedom, she could no longer
hesitate, and exhausted as she was after an,
arduous personation threw her whole soul
into the song" .......a. r... s.' I....

PERSONAL OF Marshal PrLissIsR.-
The following is an extract of private
letter, dated before Sovastopol ~ was
rather surprised at the appearance of the
French commander OF the fo-ces. From
his character I cxpec,e to have seen
young active man, whereas General Pelis.
sier is an enormously fat man, with very
white hair, which is Gu! very close he is
so fat that he is unable TO ride any distance.
He was in an open carriage drawn by four
grays, and two soldiers as outrders, aud an
Arab with white flowing robe followed it.
The general was dressed in uniform, with
a number OF decorations on his breast, and
over his shoulders he wore white cloak
somewhat similar 10 those worn by the
Arab chiefs. He is not very tall and his
face has rather good.humored expression,
and quite different from what your imagi.
nation would portray from his history eth.
or here or in Africa"

The QUESTION OF ImMonrALITY.-The
pulpit is structure representative Of the
truth of immortality, and of all the tender
ness and comfort with which that truth can
appeal to sorrowing heart. Every church.
spirs is a cheerful finger lifted from the
earth, which Is the floating cemetery of
mortals, to an invisible home. And is hu-
man nature to outgrow belief in eternal
life ?-the most majestic conception, next
10 that of God, which the human intellect
has ever entertained and the roots Of which
ave entertwined in the instincts and litera.
ture Of every nation IL the tine to come
when the wise man shall look contentedly
into the grave, believing that the earth,
which quickens every other seed, and lets
it spring in new forms of beauty up tow
ards the sun, clutches the human dust and
absorbs the soul with its greedy chemls-
tries Or IL the era yet to dawn upon
us, when human sorrow is to have no up
ward look, ane the mother shall have no
vision Of opening arms in heaven, receiving
her child to holier care and love than 1t
left in it's earthly home ?-whcn no sweet
mystery of infinite goodness shall be per-
cieved by faith taking to higher joys and
service the pure and faithful heart that
passed away in the maturity of consecra-
ton 2--when no infinite hope shall op'n
even before the bad mans death-bed, as
thodgh God has love for him competent
to restore him yet ? Oh brethren! wha
progress of society is this We speak of, in
which the immortal dignity Of man is to
perish tears Of bereavement to be tears OF
despair the holy and beautiful vision of
heaven, sublimer than all that astronomers
tell US of material ornaments, to melt
away and the winter Of unbelief cover
he world with white winding sheet! The
pulpit will die when this jubilee Of dsbelie
shall dawn but will it not be well to find
some other terms than "progress" to des.
cribe that era ?-(Rev. Il. S. King.

A great sensation has been caused in the
camp Of the allies by the heroic deeds Of q

Of August, during the battle Of the Tcherna-

The announcement ofa new book by Mr..
Southwark, the author Of "The Lost Heir
css," is matter Of great interest to all that
love to road, and admire pure and chas,e
American works. "The Deserted Wiis"
is new work Of unusual power and thrill.
ling interest. The scene is laid in one Of
the southern States, and the story gives
picture of the manners and customs OF the
planting gentry, in an age not far removed
backward from the present. The charac-
ters are drawn with strong hand, and The
book abounds with scenes OF intense inter-
est, the whole plot being wrought out with
much power and effect, and no one, we
are confident, can read it without acknow.
Lodging that it possesses more than ordina.
~ merit. TIE author Is q writer of re-
markable genius and orignality-maniiest-
ing wonderful power in the vivid depicting
Of character, and in her. glowing .descrip.
lions Of scenery. Hagar, the heroine of the
deserted Wife," isa magnificent being,
while Raymond, Gusty, and Mr.. Withers,
are not merely names, but existcnces-
they live and move before Us, each acting
in accordance with his peculi IT nature
The purpose of the author, professedly, is
to teach the lesson, "thst the fundamental
causes Of unhappiness in a married life, are
q defective morsl and physical education,
and premature contraction of the matri.
monial engagement. /, is q book to road
and reflect on, and one that cannot fail to
do an immense amount Of good,' and will
rank as one of tho brightest and purest Or
naments among the literature of this coun.

Language is inadequate to express the
relief that we felt in reading the announce
ment that Sir Nathan ii. Gould had been
elected Grand Warder. Now female vir-
tue and lovelness, the Newpor, Gas Light
Company and the community generally
can feel secure, for we Of Newport have a
Sir Knight who is the G and Warder -
He will stand on the outward walls, and
blow his trumpet most ferociously whenev-
er'there IS danger. In our juvenile days
We remember to have seen him with En-
gine Company No. 6, TO which he belong
cd, and OF which he was only private
member and he always carried al i'm
mensc brass trumpet suspended from his
neck by a heavy brass chain now the Sir
Knight will use this identical trumpet, al
though ho never had an opportunity to do
30 before,--and his blasts will be powerful
indeed.
