FEARFUL AcoIDBNT.-On Monday after
noon heavy iron Truss roof, which was in
course of erection over the rolling mill of
Messrs Brown Brothers, al Waterbury, Conn,
fell with tremendous crash, instantly kill
ing Mr.. Thomas J. Paine, and wounding six
other persons. Some 10 or 20 persons were
at work under the roof, but they all had pres
ence of mind enough to save their lives by
erouching under the work benches, &c.
AT the instant it began to give away, sev-
eral workmen who were upon the roof, went
down with it, and their preservation seems
wonderful. The injuries sustained by the
wounded persons, comprise broken legs, arms,
and severe Commissions. One man had his
arm broken in three places. The roof was
nearly completed, but is now total wreck.
1t was to cost 100000. the building being
very large one-20O feet long and 100 ieet
wide.

ARRIVAL OF CELEBRITIES. This paper con-
tanned yesterday a recital of the latest news
from Salt Lake City, in which it is stated that
our informant passed Judge Eckles at the
Nemaha, having in his charge Miss Polydore,
who had been rescued from the Mormons on
a writ Of hG5eas corpus at the request of the
British government The United States
steamer D. II. Morton, arrived here yesterday
with the parties referred to on board. The
Judge was to have left last night for his home
in Greencastle, Indiana. He has with him
female Pi Utah Indian, about II years of age,
named Mary Tecumbiats, whom he rescued
some time ago from a band of starving Utes,
who were about to kill the CIR! for the pur-
pose of RECALLING themselves on her flesh. She
is black haired, fat and clumsy specimen of
the feminine gender.
Miss Henrietta Polydore is in her twelfth
year, having been eight years old when alb
Quoted from her parents in Gloucester, Eng
land. She is a rosy. checked fair haired
child. It's supposed that the footsteps of the
party were followed for many miles by band
OF Danites, from whom an attack, with the
purpose of rescpiug the young girl, was
dreaded. She was very much displeased at
being taken away, but will doubtless be glad
when once more under the roof of her
parents. She is under the immediate care of
her aunt, Mrs. Richards.
Miss Elizabeth Cotton, author of letter in
regard to Mormon life, which was extensively
printed some time ago, was also on board the
Morton. She is young and beautiful-just
such an one as would be likely to be pestered
immediately on her arrival in the City Of the
Saints, by the tender attentions of score or
two of its gallant polygamous gentry. She
went to Salt Lake City from Leeds, England,
and is returning to that country.-St. Louis

the sound was intensified, after the manner of
a trumpet. If this be true, and every large
hotel in the country which has acoustic tubes
seems to prove il, why could it not be applied
to telegraphing Nothing is more likely than
that little experimenting will prove that
sound may be transmitted for scores of miles.
If the ordinary human voice is not capable of
such transmission, other sounds may be used
as signals alphabetically. Thus il will often
happen that merely loud sound is not heard

his profession, and after having served in the
New York House Of Assembly, was appoint
ed one of board of three to revise the stat.
utes Of the State, and reduce them to a meth

est and most generous nature, resting on no
narrower foundation than the golden rule"

MURDBRERs.-There. are at the Hampden
County Jail, at Springfield, besides Jones, all
ready convicted, no less than three persons
awaiting trial for murder, and two Others,
whose crimes are assault with intent to kill
their poor victims having regained their
health to the equal JOY and surprise of all.
These crimes have been committed within a
few months. and with the murders at Russell
and Westhed in 1857, make up murder re-
cord OF two years that has certainly had no
parallel in Hampden County, or even in
Western Massachusetts,. The murderers now
awaiting trial are ELLEN Finn of Chieopee

her illegltimate Child James Fitzgerald of
Holyoke, an old and hardened offender, for
the assault which caused the death Of Mr.
Daniel B. Lathrop, son of Wells Lathrop of
South Hadley Falls; and Alexander Denas-
teau, the vagabond pack peddler, for the late
horrible affair at CbicOpee. John Ladd of
Chester and Horatio Farnsworth of Long

to kill, Ladd escaping the more serious con-
sequences by the almost miraculous recovery
of the man whom he stabbed. -Sprinqfsld

but in early life denounced the fate of his

to allow his body to be buried among their
dead. John Neal was of Quaker family,
