Origin of Irish Surnames.

In late lecture given by Mr. O'Donovan
in the Queens College, Belfast, Oh "the or
igin of Irish surnames,' the lecturer went on
to notice the original of surnames among
the Teutonic races, mentioning that they
took their names from the places in which
they lived, from coors and from the charac-
teristics OF individuals Having also shown
the original Of the names of the principal
leading families of italy, he adverted to the
surnanes of tie ancient Irish families, and
mentioned that the most distinguished Irish
families flourished from about the year 600
to 1000. He alluded to the pertiyes Mac
and 0, and stated that Mac signtel son,
and 0 grandson; and that the only difference
between these two prefiXes was, that the
families who adopted Mac called themselves
after their farther, and those who took 0
formed their names after that of their grand
father. lie said it was popularity believed
in the province of Connaught that the pre-
fix O conveyed the idea of title, whilst that
of Mac did not aud said that 0 was not a
bit more Respectable lhan Mac, nor did
either of them show an indication of any res
pectabllity whatever, except in cases where
family and titles were clearly shown. He
pointed out some popular errors regarding
surnames, particularly one in which it was
believed that there were on y five Irish fam
lilies entitled to have the prefix O. He
dwelt on that subject, he said, from wish
to have the errors removed; and he trusted
it would be believed that Mac was fully as
respectable as O, and that instead of five
there were at least 1000 Irish families who
were entitled to O prefxed to their names.

The Night Breeze Song.

fiVu tuc OeHlCIu NTGdtu
The Night Breeze Song.
Eve gfided over fOwery plains,
And kissed the petals fair,
And waited the purfumes rich and sweet,
From flowers that clustered there.
Eve wandered on thro' the forest shade,
And I've sang for the elfn band
And I've seen them dance in the moonbeams
bright,
On the turf where the tall oaks stand.
I've entered the halls of state and seen
The proud and the noble there;
And know that their hearts, tho seemingly gay
Are filed with sorrow and care.
Eve murmured on by the vine-clad cot,
Where the poor man dwells content;
And the happy smiles of loved ones there,
To his heart new radient lent.
I've caught from rosy lips the song
OF joy which rested there;
And I've caught the sighs of anguish deep,
From souls in dark despair,
I've breathed DER many fevered brow,
And dried up the mourner's tear;
And to heaven from many sinful heart,
I've waited an earnest prayer.
All scenes Of earth have glided Ger,
The sorrowful and the gay,
Ger barren sands, and thro' sylvan groves
Where the silrry moonbeams play.
And I've seen mems hearts in pride and po,Uer,
And I've seen them when BUNDLED low,
When hatred chill o'er their spirits cast,
And when warmed by loues deep glow.
Ah! varied the scenes DER which pass,
On this beautiful world below;
And a note of them all to heaven I bear
I'm away on my journey now!

Horrible ElarbaFity.
Remarkable Heroism ofa Boy Sspen Years Of
.4ge,


Under this heading the San Francisco True
Californian, of June l4th, has the following mar
ralve;
The United States sloop-of-war Decatur,
which arrived IN this port Yesterday, has bro't
intelligence Of one Of the most inhuman attrocl-
ties that can be found in the annals Of Indian
warfare On the morning Of the Sth Of Octo-
Der, 1855, while Mr. Harvey II. Jones, a set
der on the White River, in Washington Terri
tory, was lYing sick in his bed, party Of Indi
ans commenced firing on his house, and killed
Mr.. Jones at the first volley, Mis- Jones, who
was eating breakfast at the time of the assault,
Immediately returned the FIRE of the Indians
with a navy revolver, and after having sue
ceeded in wounding one of them in the foot,
was shot in the side, and thereby disabled from
making any further resistance. Immediately
on her ceasng TO fire upon them, The Indians
approached and set fire TO the house.
At this juncturp, lad named John J. King,
who was child of Mrs. Jones by former mar
rage, and but seven years Of age, inquired Of
his mother what he should DO. She directed
bin 70 take his brother and Sister-tht former
two, and the latter four years old-and endea-
vor TO find shelter in the house OF a Mr.. Thorn
as, who resided two miles distant. The little
fellow complied with the request of his mother.
taking the infant on his back and his sister by
the hand, and although an Indian exploited four
caps in endeavorng 10 shoot him: and was only
prevented from further efforts by popular
perstilion OF his tribe, succeeded in reaching
his destination, only to be disappointed by find
ing that Mr.. Thomas had fed with his family,
aud was no where to be found.
The brave boy then continued his way down
the river for another mile. when he was met by
a friendly Indian, who took the children in his
canoe: covering the two younger with his blan-
kets, proceeded 10 Seattle, where they arrived
next day, and was received on board the Deca-
tur, which brought them 10 this place. After
the escape Of the children, the Indians dragged
Mrs. Jones from the house by the hair, and
killed her by the blow of an axe on the temple.
The BODY OF Mr. Jones was consumed with the
house This statement has been furnished Us bv
Mr. John Small, a brother Of Mrs. Jones The
children were treated with The greatest kind
ness by Captain Gansevoort, Lieuts Morris and
Drake, and the officers and crew of the Decatur.
