Fire at the state House.

About four o'clock this morning, our cit
izens were startle,l by the cry of Fire
which was found to proceed from tho north
east basement room in the State House,
This room was used for storing old docu-
ments, paper, &C., and latterly by the
painters at work on The building for storing
their paints, oils, DC, and for mixing paints.
Last evening couple of boxes Of large
plate glass had also been deposited in this
room. The entire contents Of the room
have been burned, or so badly damaged by
tho wafer thrown into it, as to be almost
worthless The engines were promptly on
the ground and soon extinguishsd tho
flames. How the fire originated is mys-
terry, but it is thoughtoto be thewo of an
incendiary. The loss of paints, oils, glass
DC, is estimated at from 5000 to $780,
The fire was confined solely to one ROOM

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH WIREs.-Tho
las. Cosmos copies from the English Build
sr curious item Of news bearing on this
subject:
On examining piece of submarine ca
BILE cut from the end Of the La Manche line,
long in use, there were noticed an indefinite
series of ruptures or subdivisions, as if tho
wires had beon chopped into morsels, or had
been disintegrated under tho influence Of
the electrical vibrations. Since, in the case
OF tho Transatlantic Cable, currents posi-
tive and negative alternately are launched
through it, such disintsgration of tho
wiro must bc expected to como about even
more rapidly. The fact itself Is too mys-
terious TO be discussed at present.

SAD EvRKr-GonED TO DEATn AY
BuLL.-The Rev. Samuel G. Parker, of
Hinekley, Medina county, met, with ter
ribic death Sunday morning, the 10th inst.
He was seen to go into field 10 which he
kept baIl, with pitchfork in his hand,
for the purpose as is supposed Of driving
the animal out. About an hour after
person called at his house TO invite him TO
proach funeral sermon, and was directed
by the family to the field where they sup
posed Mr. Parker to be. On looking for
him he was found dead. tho body tossed
over the fence several rods from where the
pitchfork was lying. Tho horns and head
OF the bull we're bloody, and the blood and
marks on the ground indicated that the un-
fortunate man was gored and pitched
along by the vicious animal from the place
where the ptchfork was dropped to the
fence, and then tossed completely over it.
Mr. Parker was Methodist minister,
aud bad a small farm on which ho resided.
A wife and three or four children are ber-
eavcd by the affective dispsnsation. He
was much esteemed by a wide circle Of
friends and acquaintances, and largo con
course of people, including the Masonic
fraternity, attened the funoral Of the good
man so suddenly and so sadly removed
from their midst CievelGnd Leader.

The horses made pretty show,
For symmetry and size;

AIMS IN LIFE.-Y Young man are the
aims of thy life such as these Dost thou
improve thy hours of leisure, such as occur
in the intervals Of labor and business, in
reading, in study, in meditation. in profit
able conversation? If so, thou art acting
wisely; for thou wilt thus lay up for thy
self portion that will stay by thee. in
every trial and conflict incident upon life's
pilgrimage. Not so, however, with that
young man who finds his chief and almost
only pleasure in the gratifying of his appe-
titcs and passions. A dark future awaits
him. While tho former is at homo even-
ings with his books, the latter is abroad
with his convivial companions, wasting his
time and money, and by his vicious practi-
ces and sensual indulgences is enfesbling
both body and mind. In this way his
character is corrupted and destroyed,
though he may for a while keep up his
reputation, which, however, will not last
long after character, its only sure founda-
tion is ruined. Beware, then, young man,
how thou spcndcst thy time! Asis thy
childhood, youth and carly manhood, so
will be thy maturcr life. Three terms be-
ing given, it is noways difficult to fnd the

BESEFIcIAL RESULTS OF ADVERTISING
We understand through the agent of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, that the receipts Of
that company at the agency in Now York
have increased eighty-six per cent since
the company commenced advertising in the
New England papers, in April, 1857. The
advantages of advertising can never be ap-
preciated in theory; the principal results
arc the convincing arguments in favor Of
tho system. New York owes her unpar-
allelcd success in great measure 10 the

A REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION
Our readers will remember an account
some time since Of remarkably successful
operation by DR.. Proctor Thayer upon q
man who had been insane five years; his
insanity being the result of an accident
which caused depression Of portion Of
the patients skull upon his brain.--Dr.
Thayer has recently performed similar
operation with like success upon DR.. Laver.
ing, Of Lisbon, Indiana. In June last Dr.
L. was thrown from bis carriage against an
awning post, and his forehead severely in
jured. For seventeen days ho was entirely
ipsensible; and although he SO far recover
ed as TO be able to be about, he seemed to
have completely lost his memory. Though
= practicing physician he entirely forgot
the properties of his medicines, aud was
unable to distinguish between opium and
salts, or any other medical agents. Ho was
also partially insane, and frequently express
ed strong desire to kill his wife and some
Of his best friends. On the 9th of Sep
tember ult., DR.. Lavoring was submitted TO
DR.. Thayer for examination, and was oper-
ated on by him on the 3oth. A portion of
tho bone of the forehead was found to COM
press the brain, and it was lifted out and
properly replaced. The operation occupied
about one hours time while the patient WAS
under The influence of cloroform lat its
termination DR.. Lsvering was entirely re-
stored to bis former self. His delight was
unboundcd; aud after remaining under
charge Of DR.. Thaycr until the 9Th instant,
he departed for his home sound and well
man.
This operation was performed against
tho advice of the western physicians; but
Mrs. Layering, a brave and resolute woman,
who had heard Of DR.. Thaycr's success in
the case first mentioned, was determined TO
have trial Of his skill. The result has
verified her most sanguinc expectations; /;
and established DR.. Thayer's growing rep
utation- as skillful and reliable surgeon
