HuNKER INsuLTs.-Mr. John S. Holmes,
bunker lawyer Of Boston, who was employed
by the hunkerish city government to perform the
oratorica duties at the recent celebration of the
anniversary of American independence, appears
not to have done himself any credit BY his coarse
and inappropriate filings at some of the gentle
men present. In the course Of his spread.eagle,
union-saving GRAFTON, for the purpose of showing
his disgust of men Of humble origin, who ell pub
lie stations of honor and responsibility, he took
the ground that no one has right to hold Office
save he'whO has a separate employment; to
which Gov. Banks, when called upon to speak at
the dinner table, responded thathe ''begged leave
to say that he helped build that city himself In
its darkened shops, upon the printing presses
and engines which have contributed SO much to
it, glory, he'gave the toll Of his youth and were
it necessary, he could still return to them These
localities he never passed without emotion. AL
though subsequently admitted to the profession
of the law, and had since served in various pub
lie capacities with more or less success, his mem
DRY still reverted with pleasure to the days which
he passed in those workshops, for there,, with
those who were associated with him; were passed
many Of the happiest hours Of his life."
Remarks had been made which inclined him to
consideration Of those political views to which
patriotic and national sentiments and thoughts
would lead US upon an occasion like this; but the
Mayor, treating him as guest, had forborne al
luding to these topics, and in SO doing had acted
rightly
To another slur in Mr.. Holiness Grafton, in
tended for the Governor, Edward g. Parker,
Esq, senior Aid TO his Excellency, said that 'the
element of gallantry in the American soldier
would not permit him to attack man when he
was unarmed, or placed in position where he
could not with propriety defend himself" and this
well.timed hit ELECTED hearty burst of applause
1t lis to be regretted, on their own il not on the
city's account, that some Of these Boston hun
kers are so destitute Of good manners as to re-
quire such snubbing on public occasions.

TERRIBLE FALL IN THE ScHUYLxILL CoUN-
TY MINEs.-At about noon on Tuesday of
last week, four men and two bows assembled
the shaft at the Thomastewn colliery, Schuyl.
kill County, Pennsylvania, in a car resting on
cage. When within few inches of the ton,
pin, upon which the cage rests when it
reaches the top, was pulled out too soon, and
the car was not on level with the platform
sufficiently to permit it to be rolled off the
cage. In this position two of the wheels of
the car were rolled off the cage: but it was
found impossible to get the other wheels off.
A signal was then given to the engineer, who
could not see the position of the cage, to
hoist it little. Unfortunately, it was hoisted
too high; the car tilted, was freed entirely
from the cage, and the next instant, with its
freight of precious lives, consisting of four
men and two boys, soaS dashed doton The shaft,

feet. The remains of the unfortunate men
and boys were, after the occurrence, removed

two, one of whom was named Brennan, were
