The excessive value placed upon the alli.

to the senior editor. We think, however,
if beauty be taken into account. the alliga-

COLLISION ON THE SoUND-One Nan Killed
and Another Seriously Iymed.-The steamer
Connecticut, which left New London for New
York Wednesday morning at six o'clock, hav.
ing been detained until that hour by the dense
fog which prevailed, came in collision, when q
short distance out of New London, with the
soop Kitty Ann, bound to Norwich with load
of oysters. The sloop's bowsprit struck the
steamers side, in the Kitchen little way for
ward of the wheel-house, crushing in the side
sheathing, and forcing its way some six feet
into her. AT the point where it came through
is located the cooks room, and at the time of
the accident group of the boat hands were
there eating breakfast The shock upset the
table, and at the same instant the sloop's bow
spirit came crashing the side, demolishing the
woodwork of the room, and piling up the
men, stoves, hot water coppers cooking ma
terials, and fragments of the wreck in pro.
miscuous heap. One of the men, William
O'Brien, was struck by the intruding bowsprit
and fairly impaled on it, his abdomen being
torn open and his body penetrated in such
manner as to make a ghastly wound, which
proved fatal. His left thigh was partially de-
nuded of flesh where the bowsprit passed
along it. He fell helpless, and was terribly
scalded by the boiling water from the coppers
which flowed upon him, as he lay on the floor
Another man, named Dennis Gallavan, was
thrown overheard by the shock, and was near
ly drowned when taken aboard again.
The Connecticut returned to New London
with O'Brien and Callahan. O'Brien died
about o'clock Wednesday evening. His
family reside at Allyn's Point. Gallawan be-
longs in New York. His injuries are of Sc
rious nature. The damage to the Connecticut
was repaired in season for her departure to
New York before IL o'clock

CITY ann County cAntrllrgente.

SERIOUS yesterday forenoon,
Mr.. Elias p. King, iron and coal merchant, of
Boston, formerly of this city, having started
from the stable of Witt & Pratt, to attend the
funeral of his grandfather, in Sutton. He
hitched his horse on Main street for a mo-
ment in front of the store of Messrs. w. & T..
Brown, to do some errand there. While I'M
hitching the horse, the bride bit broke, and
the horse started at rapid pace, Mr.. King
hold of it, with his thumb fastened so tightly
in the ring that he was unable to extricate it.,
and consequently was compelled to go along at a
pace too rapid for comfort. Finally, he was
pitched with greatvioence againsta tree in front
of the City Hail. He was badly wounded A
deep cash was cut in his forehead and face,
and he was severely bruised on his LETT hip,
besides receiving other serious injuries. The
horse, becoming disengaged from the chaise,
was brought up on the Common, without inju
ry. The wounds of Mr.. King were dressed
by Dr. Hathaway, and he was able to go back
to Boston by the midday train.

A CASE OF SUSPECTED PoIsoNING-The
Body Erhumed.-A correspondent of the Bos.
ton Traveller, writing from Canton, Mass on
Thursday, gives the following account of
case Of suspected poisoning in that town.
Unusual interest was excited here to-day
in consequence of the elimination of the body
of James Shala of this place, for examination,
by order of the coroner The following is an
outline of the story Some ten months since,
James Shala, aged SO, married young lady of
II. About seven weeks since he was seized
with illness, and died the eighth day. Some
dared to suggest suspicious of poison, and sto-
ries involving the character of the young wife
were in circulation. AT last it was decided to
test the question of poison by an autopsy 1t
was performed to-day by DIR. Ainsworth of
Boston, in presence Of the coroner and jury
and Drs. Holmes and Webster of Milton, and
DIR. Perry Of Canton. Portions of the viscera
were sent to DIR. jackson of Boston for chemi-
cal analysis. The coroner has taken measures
TO have the suspected party brought before the
Jury in one week"

GERRIT SMITH ISsASE.-Ever since the
denouement Of the mad and foolhardy attempt
of Old Brown at Harper's Ferry, there have
been rumors that Gerrit Smith was in most
distressing and pitiablc state of mind 1t il
said that he has been constantly wringing his
hands and bemoaning the fate of poor Brown
and accusing himself Of having been instru
mental in bringing his friends into their pres.
ent sore troubles.
While making a brief visit to the neghbor.
. hood OF Mr.. Smiths residence a few deys
since, we learned that his friends were appre.
hensive that his reason would give way under
the load OF grief and anxiety, the events at
Harpeer's Ferry and neighborhood, have occa.
stoned, and we were not, therefore, surprised
to learn this morning, that these fears have
been realized, and that the unhappy man i

Lunatic Asylum at Utica yesterday.

New YORK ELEcTIoN.-Th returns are
not all made in New York, but enough is
known to show that the Republicans have
gained about fifty thousand votes on the cleo
ton of last year. The Utica Morning Herald
of Thursday says - 43lr lHh
The State Ours Our dispatches indicate
that the Republican majority over the Demo
Gratis and Americans combined will be about
10000, while the American" ticket will have
not far from 10000 votes, making the MAORI
ties on the Republican candidates who are also
on the Utica ticket about 25,000
In the Senate, the Republicans will have "a
out OF 30. In the Assembly, about 30 Repub-
licanS will probably appear; leaving our op.
ponents 80.
1t is long time since any party had both
branches Of the New York Legislature bv
such majoriteS. The villainous use which
the pro-slayery democrats sought to make
of the Harper's Ferry affair, has proved
to be to them as disastrous as ii is disgraceful.
Our Virginia friends. the Richmond Morning
News, will take notice Of the very significant
and impressive manner in which the New
York election has "entombed Mr. VIM. II

THR Liquor AGENcY.-We learn from the
Boston papers that during the Thursday ses-
sion of the investigating committee, DR.. Jack
son the State Assayer, stated that at the time
he was appointed to analyze the samples of
liquors from the State Agency, he had told
them that his analysis would not amount to
anything unless the agent was honest. DIR.
Jackson further stated that Mr.. Enoch Paige,
of the firm of Paige & Co., who is summoned
by the committee to testify in regard to the
adulteration of liquors, would also testify that
Mr. John Brookhouse, the head clerk in the
State Agency Office had told him (Mr. Paige
that he (Brookhouse) would have to shoulder
the whole thing but he did not care, as he
was well paid for it. Mr.. Paige told DR.. Jack
son that he was at liberty to state this to the
committee. +

UNIyERsALIsT FAIR.-Mr Editor-I did
not have the pleasure of seeing your genial
face at the above fair, last Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. Will you permit me,
one Of the witnesses, to say word about that
fair, and also of the ''fair." Wednesday eve
ming was spent, socially, in a pleasant manner.
good supper was provided by the ladies of
the society, for the small sum of twenty five
cents. The quantity and quality of the supper
would answer for king. The choir belonging
to the society enlivened the occasion by some
sweet strains.
The second evening was the evening. We
were first called 10 look at some of the most
splendid tableaux that, we think, the people OF
Worcester ever witnessed. There were thir-
teen different scenes. All were good but a
few were certainly worthy Of being repeated
at no distant day. The audience showed their
appreciation by their repeated bursts of ap-
pause. Few persons know the labor and ex-
pense of getting up such scenes. To Mr.. Geo.
w. Adams is this society indebted, more than
to any other living man, for this truly interest
ing exhibition. The ladies of this society have
ever been faithful to its interests. Help in
time of need has been their motto. Pastor
and people have worked together, and by this
unity, the society has prospered. May we live
to see many more such scenes.
