DEATH FROM THE BITE OF OFASPIDER-Charles
Holman, youngest son Of 0rin Holman, Esq of
Lancaster, Mass, died few days ago under
quite painful circumstances. His death was
evidently caused by the bite of n spider On
" ednesday morning he complained of pain in
his mouth, which made it quite difficult for him
to eat. Soon considerable swelling was OBJ
served upon one side Of his face, and this ex-
tending to the brain, ere long, produced aber.
ration, and at last modification set in, and
haaily death followed. Tho physician attending
hlm seemed to have no doubt as to the cause OF
his death, there being many confrmstory evil
q mes that the cause above given was the true
one. The bite was evidently made while the
Niet'n was asleep, as the first notice of it was in
inc morning. just under the lip the hysician
discovered the original wound, and il was his
opinion that the spider was caught between the
two lips by a sudden contr action of the muscles
OF the mouth caused by the moving of the insect
over II while the young man was asleep The
usual remedies were applied, but it was too late
lie died In about week after the accident.

A CHEAP MRNAGKRIE SHOw.-At old Ashta-
bula, in the State Of Ohio, there once lived n
queer old puritan yclcped Deacon Daniel B.
worthy man and a Christian (as the times
WENT although his style of preaching was
peculiar to himself, and unlike anything laid
down in books. At a protracted meeting, the
good people were much scandalized to find that
a menagerie had encamped in the same neigh
borhood, and was drawing big audiences, 3"
from among the uorshippers and among the
delinquents several members of the Deacon's
family. Amid the general lamentation the
Deacon arose and comforted them as follows -
" Brcthen you must have faith There is Abra-
ham, he had faith-gOt knife out TO kill his son
Isaac Without the Lord did't let him der it,
And there is my namesake, Daniel. he had
faith-lots Of faith too. They cast him into Il
lions den, Lnt lions never touched him--and
there he sOt and sOt NIL night and looked at the
show for nothing-did' cost him a rent either -"
The Deacon's voice became inaudible and he
subsi1ed.

The CONSTITUTION OF 0REGoN.-The con-
shtutiOn likely, according to the last accounts
to be adopted by the Oregon convention, con-
tains some remarkable provisions. 1t does away
says the Journal of Commerce) with grand
Jurles as unnecessary-the preliminary exam
Ination before a magistrate previous to com
initial being deemed sufficient. 1t provides
that there shall be no lieutenant governor; that
the secretary of tate shall exercise the func tions
OF governor pro TEN. in the case of the death
OF that functiOnary and that the governor shall
also be treasurer of the State The number Of
members of the State senate Is limited to fifteen
and that of the assembly to thirty, with biennial
sessions. The ballot is abolished at elections
and rtra roce voting substituted. Judges are
declared Ineligible for any Office not judicial
during the period for which they are elected
and for one year after; municipalities are alb
solutely prohibited from contracting debts; and
bank charters of every description are forbid
den. With regard TO tho question of slavery
ii is believed that two clauses-One legalizing
and the other prohibiting slavery-wiII be ap-
pended to the draught Of the constitution, to be
adopted or rejected by subsequent vote of the
people.

From this register of the supply, the govern
