"KILT" AND BURIED ALIVE. A Milwau-
kie correspondent of the New York Tribune
relates the following amusing incident which
occurred, after snow storm, on one of the
railroads in the vicinity of that city:
A company of Irishmen were employed in
shoyeHng out one of the deep cuts, under the
direction of one of the officers. The snow
had drifted in behind them, filling up the track
again, when powerful locomotive, with
snow-plow attached, was sent, under full head
OF steam, TO clear it out. On she came, fling
ing the drifts over her smoke-stack, and walk
ing straight through all obstacles, till she
rushed bolt upon the company of shovelers
They heard the whistle, but supposing she
would halt, kept on with their labor. The
engineer, on the contrary, supposed they
would clear the track, and shot down on them
so rapidly that the superintendent had barely
time, by powerful jump, TO save himself.
The shoveers had no time; and the snow
plow, as it tore through the drifts, turned over
a double furrow of live lrishmen. Some were
thrown high and dry upon the bank others
were smoothly laid out and covered in but
not one was injured. 1t is said that most Of
them believed they were actually dead and
buried, and it was difficult to convince them
to the contrary"

HIGH PRICES OF Provisions IN New York.
The New York Evening Post of Wednesday,
in noticing the supply and prices of provisions
in that city, says:
" There was good supply of beef at Wash
lngton market this morning. Prices however
continue enormously high. Some of the
butchers sold porter-house steaks at twenty
five cents pound, though the average is about
twenty-one. Butter is held at twenty to
thirty-six cents pound, and cheese at four
teen. Vegetables are scarce. A head of
cabbage of respectable size is worth two shil-
lings and sixpence. The cold weather has
operated against the fish market, and in con-
sequence the stock of all kinds Of fish is very
small There is a limited supply of fresh
shad, from the South, on sale at fifty-six and
sixty two and shalf cents each''
Eastern times., 1855-04-05

THE BEALg CAsE.-It appears that various
means have reen resorted TO 10 effect the re-
lease of Dr. Beae, now in the Pennsylvania
State Prison. Among others was 1000
bribe, which did not 60 Dr. Beale, on hear
ing of the attempt, whites that if his release
cannot be effected by fair means, he prefers to
remain in prison. One of the local papers has
the following: - n
s' 1t appears that since the conviction Of DIR.
Beale, his stricken wife has been surrounded
by harpies anxious to be employed to obtain
his release. A man representing himself as
an attorney, boarding at the American Hotel,
called on her, and said that he had it in his
power to produce an affidavit which would
conclusively show that her husband was the
victim of foul conspiracy, and would procure
his immediate pardon. He asked for his SER
vices and trouble the moderate sum of twenty
five dollars. After appealing to his honor as
man, and telling him she should have but
Two dollars left for the necessary expenses of
her large family, and receiving the most SOL
emn assurances that he would fulfil the prom
ise, she gave him the money, and she saw him
no more. Subsequently the other plan was
suggested and it is probable that by expos
ure the knavery of those pardon-brokers will
receive a check"
Eastern times., 1855-04-05

EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.-A curious account
of the effects of lightning on an iron ship was
reported last week. The ship Flying Scud.
from New York, bound to Australia was twice
struck by lightning on her passage out, and
her compasses, of which she had five on board
were SO deranged that it became necessary TO
lay TO for eighteen hours, though the wind was
perfectly fair ; Sand for several days the com
passes varied from three to five points eas, from
their true bearings, as was determined by OBJ
serVations. Immediately after the ship was
struck, the needles were found to be revolving
with great velocity and the influence on them
did not entirely cease for nearly or quite two
months.
