DR.. KAsE-The Philadelphia Ledger states
that the family of DR.. Kane, who is now in
Havana, received dispatch on Monday, stat
ing that he was in a dying condition, and could
not long survive A letter from Havana, da-
ted February -, and which has been tele-
graphed to Philadelphia from Mobile, says
DR. Kane is still alive but cannot last thro'
the day. His mind keeps right He has just
bid his friends and countrymen FAREWELL
This letter is from William Morton, who has
been DIR. Kane's faithful servant and steward
for the last seven years, and who accompanied
him in both his Arctic expeditions. DIR. kane's
disease is of scrofulous nature, arising from
scurvy, the result Of excessive exposure during
his explorations.

THE IHAUGURATIoN BALL.-We learn from
the National IntrUigsnccr, that the building
which has been erected on Judiciary Square
for this grandest of all similar fetes will re-
quire but little time to put into complete prep
Grafton II occupies a breadth of seventy feet,
extending from the sidewalk, on Fifth street,
quite up to the City Hall. This gives a length
of two hundred and thirty-five feet, and covers
an area Of more than eighteen thousand square
feet But this includes two rooms, the larger
of ffty-Six feet wide for dancing alone, and
the other of twenty-one feet wide for the pur-
poses of supper-room. 1t is calculated that
from four to six thousand persons can be ac-
comodatcd, and that without discomfort The
band Of music will consist of not less than six
ty performers, so that every branch of the
preparations is on the largest scale. The eye
no less than the ear, will be gratfied, for as
many as six hundred gas-burners will pour forth
their united light upon the gttering scene
We understand that the cost of of the whole
will be SIS 900 but there is no doubt that
this sum will be easily secured, such is the gen.
eral desire to participate in this great quadri-
cnna festiyity.

IRISH RIor IN nUDsoN CIrY-A terrible
riot occurred among the Irish employed on the
Bergen tunnel in the city Of Hudson, on Sat
urday last There are about 1900 men EN-
pIoyed on this work, and Saturday being pay
day, large mass of these laborers, took the
opportunity to indulge in free fight and ac-
cording to the accounts received in the daily
papers, considerable blood was shed, lncited
and frenzied by the large quantity of liquor
drank, they could not let the opportunity pass,
it seems, without tickling their old fcudsh pro-
pensities, and the Corkonians and FarDowners
pitched into each other with all the fierceness
which is supposed to characterize their rows on
the boGs of their own country. One child
was killed, several men fatally wounded, great
many heads broken, and several shanties burn
ed The rot lasted from Saturday afternoon
until late on Sunday morning, when it was stop
ped by the Militia, who captured forty or fifty
of the rioters and marched them off to the
county jail

DEATH OF a HUMAN LIMB.-At Saratoga,
New York, last week, Doctors Freeman and
Penny amputated the leg of a Mr.. Smith, the
cause of which was the actual death of the
limb Some six weeks previously, Mr.. Smith,
who is a healthy man, was seized, while walk
ing with a sudden pain in the leg, about half
way from the knee to the ankle and immedi-
ately all sensation of feeling below the region
of the pain ceased. The look and color of the
skin, and to the touch, was that of a dead
body, and all life or animation helow, midway
from the knee to the ankle, was entirely era
dcated 1t finally became so offensive that it
was found necessary to cut off the limb to pre-
vent modification.

EXTRA SESSION OF THE L. S. SENATE.-As
is customary on the coming in of new Ad
ministration, an extra session of the United
States Senate has been called by the President.
The Washington Union publishes the procla-
nation of President PIERCE, in which he says
that objects of interest to the United States
require that the Senate should be convened,
at 12 o'clock on the 4th of March next, to re-
ccive and act upon such communications as may
be made to it on the part of the Executive y
and he therefore calls upon all who may at
that time be entitled to act as members Of that
body to assemble on the day, aud at the hour
above mentioned

A COUNTERFEIT NOTE PLATE SECURED-On
last Thursday night Deputy United States
Marshal Jenkins and officer Samnel johnson,
succeeded in securing, at house in Luzerne
county, about twelve miles from WiIkesbarre,
the steel plate from which the new counterfeit
ten dollar bills on the Girard Bank were print
ed The press and materials had disappeared
but the officers secured the plate Messrs.
jenkins and johnson have rendered the public
good service i'll getting out Of the hands of
rogues the means by which this dangerous coun-
terfet was gotten up. The plate, which was
handed over to the officers of the bank, was
admirably executed, and the whole of the ras-
cally work was in sklful hands, as the sigma
lures and the filling up were copied from the
genuine notes with perfect precision. A large
quantity of this spurious paper is in circulation,
and the public should keep sharp look out
for it. Less than two weeks ago the danger
ous counterfeit made its first appearance, and
the plate is already in the hands of the bank
We repeat that the officers who secured the
plate have rendered an essential service to the
community.

SEVEN CARLOADS OF HORSES AND THREE
PERsoNs DRowNED.-During the late food at
the Rock Island railroad bridge over the Du
Page river, at Joliet, Illinois, on Saturday,
Feb. 7th, freight train, consisting of locomo,
tive tender and seven cars loaded with horses,
approached the river. The engineer, ignorant
of any obstruction, and confident in the firm
ness and safety of the road, though covered
with water held on his way ploughing thro' a
stream two feet deep, guided by the iron
track until he reached the bridge, when the
appalling fact was revealed-but too ate-the
swollen river had not only submerged the
bridge, but swept it away. Locomotive, ten
der, seven cars with their freight of horses,
one after another disappeared beneath the sur
face of the stream, deep enough by reason of
the freshet, to hide from view every vestige Of
the train. Besides the noble freight of hor-
ses, three men were drowned.

By The newspapers have announced that
DIR. GLEASON had commenced suit against
the editor of the Reporter, for libel, placing the
damages at $4,000. If any of our readers
are distressed at the thought of our being
obliged to shell out cool ten thousand, we
are happy to assure them that there is no pre-
sent prospect of our pile being thus diminished
The Doctor was somewhat indignant, and very
properly too, at being thus summarily aud dis
creditably killed off-but upon learning the
circumstances under which the paragraph was
inserted in the Reporter, and also that we had
used every eXerton to contradict it-feeng
that there was no disposition on our part to
do him an injury or unkindness, Immediately
discontinued the suit

n Y. & ERIE Railroads.&c. energetically
had the repairs on the Deleware Division been
prosecuted since the freshet, that but for a
second misfortune the trains would have COM
menced making their regular trips over the en-
tire length Of the road, this morning But,
yesterday, the River again suddenly rose, and,
after the Mail train from New York had eros
sed the Delaware at Narrowsburgh, the trestle
work created as temporary crossing until the
Bridge could be replaced by substantial
structure, was carried away Well, we are
sorry but inasmuch as neither Superinten-
dents nor Directors can control the storm and
food we must wait patiently again until this
second misfortune shall be repaired, as we
have no doubt it speedily will be. Meantime,
the trains of the Erie Road, as heretofore
since the damage by the freshet, will continue
to connect with the trains ON the Delaware,
Lackawana & Western Road route which
has been found a safe, pleasant and expedi-
tious one by very many Of our citizens during
the last week or two, who have had occasion to

Kansas to be a Slave State.

We might fIl columns with interesting de-
tails relating to the affairs of Kansas, but it
is sufficient for the present, to put on record
this pregnant paragraph from the Washington
correspondence of THE Tribune:
"rhe opinion is very generally entertained
here that the late proceedings Of the Kansas
Bogus Legislature will accomplish the purpo-
scS OF the invaders and conqucrors Of that Ter
ritory, 80 far as TO create q Constitution estab-
Iishng slavery. The acts of the Legislature
seem 10 demonstrate that in the Convention to
be held under its direction such a Constitution
will be adopted. That Constitution will be
framed next September, and presented to Con-
greSs for ratification, and for the admission of
Kansas as slave State. Minnesota, which is
now ready, aud whose admission the House
has already voted for, will be kept back by
the Senate until that time, when the plan will
be to admit them both together This is the
next humiliation to which the free States are
doomed by the Oligarchs Hopes are enter
tanned that the scheme may be in some way
frustrated by the terror of the Northern
doughfaces, fearine mo conSumate the original
conspiracy against Kansas, but we have every
reason to believe from experience that those
hopes will prove to be nnfounded. The slave
holders rule this Republic with an iron hand,
and the Northern Democrats in Congress, now
reduced in numbers, are more than ever sub
missive to their ineXorable demands. The only
question has been whether the Southern men
would not think it the safest policy to permit
| Kansas to be a Free State, and act according
ly; but this idea appears to be fading out
They seem to have determined that it is best
to bring the nose Of the North to the grind
stone at once. As to what Northern Demo
cratic members of Congress, or Northern Dem
ocratc newspapers may say on this subject, it
is not Of the least consequence. In the first
place they don't know what the Southern lea
ders have determined upon, and without this
knowledge their statements are vaiuelesS-
they have no functions in the matter except to
carry out and defend the policy that is dicta-
ted to them by those leaders. This they will
do as they have done hitherto"

POWDER Null ExrLosToN-Abont five o.
clock on Saturday evening, the Tth inst, Sc
rious accident occurred at the WapwallOpen
Powder Mills, in Luzerne county, Pa. Two
young men -one an Englishman and the other
German-under the employ of Messrs. Par
rish, Silver & Co, were almost instantly kill
ed by the explosion Of one Of the dry houses,
at place which contained, at the time, about
seventy-fve kegs powder. One of the men
was found Immediately after, when life was ex-
tinct. The other one only survived about an
hour and half Their clothes were entirely
torn from them, and their forms and features
were considerably disfgured, being burnt with
powder.

MURDER FROM JEALOUSY IN New ORLEANS
The New Orleans Picayune, of the 4th list,
says Last evening, Mrs. Mary Gull entered
the temporary abode of her husband and her
husbands alleged paramour, one Margaret
Kelley. As Mrs. Gull entered the house, and
attempted to pass into rear room in quest of
her husband, Margaret Kelley graSped her by
the throat, and, as she did So Mrs. Gull drew
knife and plunged it into her heart, killing
her on the spot Thereupon citizen, who
was attracted to the spot by the noise Of the
oc' urrence, entered, and seeing Mrs. Gull stand
ing over the PROSTATE body of the victim, took
her into custody, and conveyed ber to the lst
district lookup According to Mrs. Culls state
ment, her husband became acquainted with
Margaret Kelley, and at length it was rumor-
ed that an improper intimacy existed between
them. The enraged wife went in pursuit of
her husband, and the bloody issue thereof we
have already stated. The prisoner does not
appear in the least to regret the bloody bus-
ness in which she has been engaged.

SINGULAR HYDRAULIC EXPLOSION large
air-chamber, weighing 3, 100 pounds attached
to the main pipe through which the water is
forced to the reservoirs of the Columbia Wa
ter Company, in the water house at the foot
of Walnut street, Columbia, Pa, was recently
broken from its fastenings by heavy pressure
of air, and thrown through the ceiling, fifteen
or twenty feet high, and nearly through the
roof above. In falling it struck and broke
heavy iron plate few feet from its place, and
directly along side of the engineer, whose es-
cape from being killed was very narrow. The
main pipe had been frozen up for some time,
and the Water Company had been engaged in
trying to thaw it out by building fires over it..
The explosion was no doubt caused by pump
ing water which could not be forced up through
the pipe

Dag~ The House of Representatives, on Tues
day, passed Grows bill repeating all the bogus
laws of Kansas, declaring the present Terrific
rial Legislature spurious and providing for a
new election. The vote on the bill in the House
was 90 in the affirmative to 10 in the negative
A separate vote was taken on the preamble of
the bill, declaring unjust and unwarranted the
test oaths prescribed for voting or holding Of
flee in Kansas and that the House Commit
tee of Investigation report that the Legisla.
ture was not elected by legal voters, but was
forced upon them by non-residents in violation
of the organic act of the Territory, and hav.
ing thus usurped legislative power, it enacted
cruel and oppressive laws. Adopted, by 80
