DEATH FROM THE BITE OF SpIDsR.--Charles
Holman, youngest son of 0rin Holman, ESQ. :.
Of Lancaster, Mass, died a few days ago IN.
der quite painful circhmstsces. Hisdeath was
evidently caused by the bite Of spider. On
Wednesday morning he complained of pain in
his mouth, which made it quite difiicult for
him to eat. Soon considerable swelling
was observed upon one side of his face, and
this extending to the brain, ere long, produced
alteration, and at last modification set in, and
finally death followed. The physician attend
ing him seemed to have no doubt as to the
cause of his death, there being many confirm
atory evidences that the cause above given was
the true one. The bite was evidently made
while the victim was asleep, as the flrst notice
of it was in the morning. Just under the lin
the physician discovered the original wound.
and 1t was his opinion that the spider was
caught betweenthe two lips by sudden con-
traction OF the muscles OF the mouth, caused
by the moving Of the insect over il while the
young man was asleep Fhe usual remedies
were applied, but it was too late. He died in
! about q week after tho accident.

A SHOWER OF MANNA.--Do not be incred-
ulous reader, when we inform you that on Mon
day last, at tho foot Of Clear Lake, IN the .coun
ty, shower Of sugar candy fell, cove ring a
large tract Of country. 1t covered everything
leaves of trees, rocks, and the carth's sur
face alike. When discovered by the inhabi-
tants the next morning, part OF it was OF the
consistency of syrup, and the rest as perfectly
crystalized as the candy OF the shops. Its
tssre is precisely similar to that of unhavored
candy. Mr.. ]. Hale, the Clear Lake express
man; saw it while on the ground, and collected
box OF samples which he brought to u.s.
There is no mistake about the matter, as the
public may learn for themselves by calling at
our Office. The specimens before us are gener-
ally irregularly crystalized, rounded at one end
and irregular in form at the other, as if broken
off te some surface which they adhered. They
are from one-fourth to tive-elghths OF an inch
in length, some pure white aud others Of a del
icate pink hue. Their general appearance is
that of very small stalagmites, such as We have
often seen in caves. A similar shower occur
red at Salt Lake some years since. Naturallsts
pretend to explain such phenomena by saying
that such saccharine showers are of insect or
| igin but their explanations seem even more
impro bable than the hfact itselt-the after
being well attested, and the former mere the
ory to excuse ignorance of Natures wonder

A SMALL BusIsEss.-The correspondence
between Senator Douglas and President Duch-
anan, in reference to the appointment of J..
Madison Cuts to the Second Comptrolership
of the Treasury, will give the country an idea
that the Illinois politician finds delight in SMALL
things. Here we have man ambitious of az
tanning the highest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie, and jealous of his reputation as a states
man, displaying as much eagerness in thejackal
business OF distributing the spoils after vic :
tory as one Of the lowest bar-room loafers of
his party. Such conduct is certainly beneath
the dignity of d Senator, and utterly unworthy
Of one who wields powerful influence in the
great affairs of State. How iearfully has. the
race of American statesmen degenerated A
man aspiring to the chair Of Washington soil
ing his hands with the petty squabbles of pot
house clques Mr.. Buchanan's reply to the
presuning and ofhcions Senator displays ad.
mirable tact and characteristic dignity. MIR.
Douglas is told that tho Second Comptroller
ship was conferred upon Mr.. Cuts simply bes
cause Mr.. Buchanan thought that gentleman
qualified for the post, and not from any consid-
Grafton of the important political fact that Miss
Quits mad become Mrs. Douglas. Tho Prssi-
dent can take CUTS with good grace and at
the same time take the edge OFF of Senator

MURDER WILL OUT.-The subjoined is taken
from the Now Haven Register, Of October
9th:
"About a year since, young lad, named
Sage, disappeared suddenly from his father's
house, near Mlddletown, and was seen going
to the barn, near which lived laboring man,
whom the lad had frequently accused of steal
ing his fathers grain. On the disappearance
OF the lad, the man alluded to was arrested on
suspicion of having fouily disposed of him,
but was acquitted for the want of proof AT
the time twas shown that the lad had not been
seen alive since his visit to the barn, and hole
In the ice in the Connecticut river, at point
nearest the barn, gave color to the suspicion
that he had been murdered, and put through
this hole. About month since, the body OF
a lad fioated ashore near the mouth of the river,
and, although the head was gone, the parents
of young Sage were SO confident that it was
their son, that they assumed and buried it as
such.
"We now learn, that within day or two, q
sailor has returned to Middletown, and volun-
tarily, before u magistrate, testified that he
accidentally saw the murder, and that the man
| first arrested is the guilty one. He says he
was going by the barn, and heard some one
charging another with s'stealing grain and
| hay" which was denied and reiterated and
| apprehending violence, stepped into the barn
| just us the man toled the lad to the hooi
with athreshing fail, killing him instantly
He says the mans wife was also present, and
that as soon as they saw him they came at him
and that il was only by apromise not to revea
what he had seen, that his life was spared. HI
soon sailed on voyage, from which he had
! just returned, and hastened back to the scen'
Of the murder, to anburden his conscience o
the suppression, which he says has made hin
| miserable during his whole absence. Step
were Immediately taken for the arrest of tn
murderer, and he has been under examination
| in MidaletOMn to-day. ---

A PLANTER MURDERED by HIS SLAvEs--We
are indenbted to the kindness of one OF our
friends from the country, for the following par
tieulars of a murder perpetrated in Sumter
county.
"Sevoral days since, say about last Thurs
day or Friday, Richard +. Stewart, a planter
near Moscow, Sumter county, was missing and
could not be accounted for. He had no white
family--the overseer, young man, and him
self being the only white persons on the place
On Sunday last, the 18th inst, numerous per-
sons through the country assembled to hunt
the missing man. One of the company had
his attention drawn to one of tho negroes from
some circumstances, and he was ordered to
show the body. He then promised TO dis
! close, If they would protect him. He went
in hoIs nj tiiessss tiie tha h9dg had been buried
SO as to obiterafs an hp t 2yeF 81 the place
Ten of his negroes are implicated, and will
the overseer ale now in Jail in Livingston
Five of these negroes say they murdered him
at midnight, killing him with mallet, then
hauled him off in his wagon and buried him /;
then took his horse and saddled him and car
ried him to the back part of his farm, and
there hitched him. sThe other five helped to
bury him. The negroes implicate the ovorseer.
A most horrid and fendish murder, and the
strong arm Of the law must vindicate our lives
or We will have no security. Mr.. Stewart was
well known in Mobile, was a clever man and
thrifty planter. We have heard more of tho
details, but as the case will soon undergo ju-
dicial investigation, il is perhaps best to give
no more for the present "-Mobile Tribune, Oct.

LIoHTNIsa.--During the rain on Friday last,
Mr.. Cooper, OF Long Hill, Morris. county, NJ
j., lost eleven sheep by lightning. A german
laborer in his employ, was within sixteen Zee.
of the tree under which the sheep were, and
within 4 feet of the deadly element when Il
crossed the path in front of him, but he escaped
unhurt, except being slightly shocked. He
says the lightning, when within TIN 60 feet oil
the ground, parted and went in three di-
rections, one part crossing the path in front
of the German, another in the direction OF an
old log lying near the tree, splitting 1t 70
atoms, the third in the direction OF the sheep
The tree being a lofty elm, was struck near
the top, the fluid passing down its trunk with
out penetrating through the bark, merely tear

Conc HoHE.-We noticed day or two
since that the packets for Europe carry out
full loads Of passengers of Great Brit
ain and the continent, migrating homeward
to escape the hard times here. This step may
seem preferable to them now, but in few
months there must be many thousands of la
borcrs thrown out OF employ in the old coun-
tries, in view of the sudden stoppage of the
American trade. Many of these home return
ing emigrants carry with them considerable
means, the result of years of toll and economy
A letter from Newhuryport says that quite q
number of the Irish population of that section
arc now returning to Ireland with the money
they haze saved. Probably this may explain
the steady run made on the saving banks in
many cities by persons OF European nativity
