A SPLENDID ANIMAL,

Probably the most splendid specimen of
horse-iiesh IN Vermont is three-yoars-old
stallion owned by j. NJ Richardson, Esq, of
Watsfcld. He is the stock of the celebrated
but Inflated Independence, by Black Hawk
Morgan dam. With all the proud majestic
beauty of his sire, he has, if possible, more
perfect action. His hair is such a glossy and
dapple black that it is quite difficult to tell
what color he really is. He has the range Of
nearly an acre of ground and to a lover of
good horses it is well worth his journey there
just to see him move about within those
stinted limits. VIsrroR.

HEAVY LOSSES BY FIRE on THE
RAILROAD.

lNhlAiOahbf
The long term Of dry and windy weather
preceding Tuesday last made finder box of
the whole country. and on Tuesday night and
Wednesday there we're innumerable fires
along the line of the Central and Vt. & Cana
da Railroads Trains were stopped frequent
ly, and the men along the line were full Of
work in extinguishing fires, and yet in their
spite there were heavy losses. Two river
bridges we're destroycd-one across the Win
ooski near Bradley's mill, between Williston
and Essex. and another between Swonton and
Alburgh. A third smaller bridge was also de-
stroyed it was on fire when train APP
preached 1.-THE engine was reversed but the
Roadway carried the engine upon the bridge,
when it went through into the water below.
The cars we're saved Finally, on We'd
nesday morning, the engine-housc at West
Alburgh was burnt--engines saved. We
presume there was insurance on the bridges,
but doubt whether there was any on the en-
gine-house, which was new
In addition to the foregoing, we learn that
about two hundred cords Of wood were burnt
at Alburgh. On Tuesday, the passenger
trains from the North were delayed several
hours on Wednesday morning the mail train
came in nearly on time, aud by ,his time we
presume temporary bridges have been erected,
so that both passenger and freight trains will
run as usual

Explosion of the st. NichoIas.

We extract from the st. Louis papers the
following additional particulars:
The St. Nicholas was large St. Louis and
New Orleans passenger packet, and was a
few months over four years old. She was
owned by Capt. Ambrose Reeder and Capt
Ben. V. Cline, the latter of whom was her
clerk. She was valued at about S2j 900, and
was fully insured.
The st. Nicholas left st. Louis, for New Or
leans, last Thursday evening, with partial
cargo and about thirty cabin passengers. She
doubtless took large amount of freight and
passengers below.
We have no information as to the probable
cause of the explosion.
A dispatch to Memphis OH Tuesday evening
contains the names of the lost, badly and
slightly scalded and saved. The saved, six
teen in number, arrived in Memphis Tuesday
evening. The Sons Of Malta and the city
authorities undertook the humane response
bility of attending to the sufferers. We have
not space at our disposal, or we should publish
the registry, as furnished from Memphis; let
it suffice, to mention that the captain (Muilen)
and the chief clerk (Glime), the first and second
engineers, thirteen or fourteen deck-hands
several bed-makers, ETC., and some passengers
are among the lost.

Burnett's CocOaine.--We would call
the attention of Druggists and the public to
the card of Messrs. JOSEPH BURNETT & Co.,
exposing an imposition to which the public are
liable, from an imitation of their celebrated

decidedly obtained a high reputation, and the
spurious preparations which have been put
into the market have a tendency to detract
from the high reputation of the genuine article.

with him, with full knowledge of his
aims and principles, and for reasons of
their own, dropped off and turned their
pens against him at different stages of his
advance. Between the design and the
result, there is nothing inconsistent
though it is impossible not to see some
unscrupulousness in the use of the neces-
sary means--among which are to be
numbered truly French disregard of
the obligation of those oaths which are
contrived to bind such as take them to
adhere to given order of things, Like
other men of great ambitions, LOUIS Ma
PoLEoN made little scruple to overstep
these verbal obstacles in his way to
throne, and-as he doubtless believed it
in the way of France to state of civil
order and tranquility; but that in so do
ing he was guilty of as little deception as
was necessary to the accomplishment of
his ends, and far less than was practiced
by any of his predecessors of the revolu-
tionary period, is unquestionable.
Can it be possible that he who notori-
ously made two unsuccessful attempts to
excite insurrection in France for the
avowed purpose Of putting himself at the
head of the government, took any body
but fools by surprise, when, from con-
venient position to which he had been
elevated by an almost unanimous popular
voice, he made a leap into the throne?
His elaborate essay, entitled 'Ideas Of
Napoleonism," was written to teach the
French nation that Capitalization and
absolutism are the leading wants of that
people in their present stage of civiliza-
ton, that NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE was the
truest representative in his day of those
ideas, and that he himself is his legitimate
successor and representative. His other
works upon government-and they are
both able and voluminous-al inculcate
the same opinions; and prove most con.
clusively that if an usurper, he is at least
no dissembler; and if despot it was
not hypocrisy that paved his way to the
throne,

The CONFESSION" ONCE MORE THE Tri-
bune of Monday says; GAS incorrect state
ments continue to be made with regard to the
publication of Mrs. Sickles' confession, it is
deemed proper to give full and explicit state
ment OF the circumstance. When the confes-
sion was offered in evidence by Mr.. Brady,
and while the argument on its admission was
proceeding, the reporter asked Mr.. Meagher,
into whose hands the document passed on its
return from the Bench, to let him have it to be
copied. Mr.. Meagher refused to do so on his
own responsibility, but referred the matter to
the senior counsel, who said Certainly" Mr..
Meagher then, as well to prevent the original
from being mislaid as to accommodate the re-
porter, was kind enough to copy it at the re-
quest OF tho latter, and the copy was imme-
diatoly sent to the telegraph office. These are
tho simple facts"

hundred and ninety pages, which gives an ac-
count of the experiments which have been
made with Sorghum sugar-cane, and contains
also treatise on sugar-making, and descrip-
tive catalogue of sugar-making apparatus,
farm implements, ETC., which, from a very
hasty examination of its merits, we should say
was worthy the attention of persons interested
in such matters. 1t will be mailed to any

SUICIDE IN OHIo.-The statistics of Ohio for
1853 show that the number of suicides in this
State was sixty in all, or one in every forty
thousand of the population. The mode OF
suicide is mainly confined to hanging, drown
ing, cutting throat shooting and poison OF
the suicides in Ohio, the mode selected by
seventeen was that of hanging, seven by
drowning, six by cutting the throat, and ten
by poisoning; the remaining modes were gem
orally some violence, occasioned by delirium
tremens or intoxication. The suicides in
cities appear, as a general fact, to be much
more numerous than in the country, as for ex-
ample: in New York, in 10 O,5O0j in Cincin-
natl, l in $4,000; in London, in 5000; in
Paris, l in 2,lOO. The number of suicides
given for Europe by Balbi, some twenty years
since, was as follows In France, l in 20, 900;
in Austria, in 10000; in Prussia, l in 49,
900; in Russia, in $4,000.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. - Some workmen who
were engaged at a sewer under the Miami
Canal, near Clifton, yesterday, found the body
of boy, partially decompOsed, about eight
years of age, and also of an infant, apparently
but few months old, lying at the bottom of
what is called, we believe, Mummert's ravine.
Around the child was wrapped eight chemises
and white jupon, with the name S. Gano
marked upon them. Coroner Carey was sent
for, who Immediately left for that place to hold
an inquest but at late hour last night had
not returned, consequently there is, as yet,
no solution to this really sad and, at the same
time, mysterious affair.
