No TINE TO HEslrArE-A clergyman of
one of our Eastern States, who during his life
time was as much distinguished for his eccen-
tricity as for his talents and the sincerity and
fervor of his piety, dined, one Thanksgiving
day, with the senior deacon of his church,
The deacon being an old fashioned man, was
in the habit of asking blessings of Il most
wearisome length. On this occasion he was
particularly prolx, and finally was forced to
pause, to gain new supply of breath and
words. The instant he stopped, the pastor
sat down and commenced rafting his knife
and fork. The worthy deacon, very much
disconnected by the conduct OF his Reverend
guest opened one eye, and lacking dow" u
him, exclaimed "Doctor! Doctor! Pm not
through yet, only hesitated.' Iesitated!'
replied the Doctor; 1T is no time to hesitate
when turkeys cooling"

ERUPTION OF EESuyIus-Amidst the ex-
element and the conAagration of war. Eesu-
vius will urge its claims on public attention.
Its FORCES are more active than those of the
nations united which now are applying the
resources of science to the construction of
weapons for human destruction. The noun
tain beats them all; aud, with the quiet as
surance of undisputed power, hourly it is
laying waste the rich lands growing with all
the promise of harvest. Any one who looks ut
it from Naples observes large river of fire
actually flowing, but apparently arrested and
attached to the side of Vesuvius. Within
the last three months it has increased Won
derfully in proportions; it is no longer rill,
it is sheet of fire, it has risen and overfowed
its banks, and God help the poor small pro
prietors who have invested their all in
little portions of land now incrusted with
lava

BoARp.-Mr. f. ID. Harmon, of Lennox, met
with a severe accident on Tuesday morning.
the 18th ultimo. He had loaded his wagon
with cheese boxes, with the Intention Of TAX
ing the same to market. The end board of
his wagon rack not being sufficiently stayed,
the boxes. together with his own weight.
caused the board to give way, and tier after
tier Of boxes rolled out of the wagon on the
horses. As might be supposed the horses
became frightened and rau. They were rel
ned out of the road, and brought up along
side of a barn, where Mr.. ii. was violently
thrown FROM the wagon, feet first, against
the barn door; and strange as it may appear,
one foot and leg were actually driven through
solid inch board forming part of the door.
The boxes were scattered in all directions.
the wagon broken badly, and Mr.. IL. was
picked up for dead. His injuries are not SO
bad as were at first supposed and he is now

FRIDAY MORNING, July 10. 1859.

WORSE THAN BRICK IN THE llh-
While the fire was burning at Ninth and
Market streets. says Philadelphia paper,
gentleman was passing that vicinity. lie
was man Of large stature, great dignity oi
appearance, and walked with the air "t one
who was above all anxieties AS to things OF
the world, being evidently the p"ssess"r OIL
ample wealth. As he passed up Ninth street.
on the other side Of the way from the nre,
he was saluted by two spiendiuiy a''reu
ladies. Greatly to their surprise. al That very
instant instead of bland reception of the
courtesy, the gentleman spranS into the AR
about six feet; aud gave utterance to yell,
that would have done no discredit t" the
most ambitious "supe" in the tragedy Of
"Metamora" AS he alighted on his feet he
struck off his hat and began to tear his hair
in such a manner that the ladies shrieked
with mortal fear, evidently experimenting
that their friend had turned insane. A po-
hceman. however, picked up the gentleman 5
hat. an inspection of which satisfactorily
elucidated the cause Of SO violent II demon
stration. A red hot cindcr IA large as II
pigeons egg, thrown from the funnel OF II
steam fire engine. had fallen upon the top
of the hat, burned hole through it, fallen
again upon the gentleman's head, and burn
ed its way down to the scalp. When the
pain had subsidized. aud he saw how matters
stood. the gentleman uttered an ejaculation
not adapted to these columns, while the
ladies tripped off. almost shocked in deS-
perate attempt to convert a laug h intoa cough:
