5a- The descent to hell is easy. The Rev.
DR.. WM. NJ. DAILY, was tried few days ago
at Bloomington, by the Indiana Conference,
and expelled, by vote of 63 to l6, for
drunkenness and lewdness. What COM
mentary on the dangerous consequences like
ly to result from the slightest departure from
the path of clerical dignity
DR.. Daily was formerly President of the
Bloomington University for many years he
ranked high as a minister in the Methodist
Episcopal Church; he gradually, however,
connected himself with the outside world,
and his sacred calling was often forgotten
amid the revclry and corruption of politics:
at later stage he acquired taste for the
fatal bowl; finally he was conquered by
passion for women The fault was his own
he had for many years walked so near the
edge of the pit of ruin that in an unlucky
moment he was carried down the precipice.

The Aurora, Earthquakes, and Elec-
tricily. ...

On the 10Th of February, 1852, there wa
a brilliant display of the northern aurora, and
while it continued the currents of the tele-
5raph were singuleriy affected on the BoS,
ton and Montr, al lines the batteries were Gis
connected and messages sent wholly by the
aurOral current. 1t subsequently appeared
on the same night there was remarkable
eruption of Mauna Loa, the great volcano of
Hawaii an immense opening was made in
the side of the mountain, and stream of
lava nearly thousand feet wide and half as
deep flowed out, devasting the country far
around. On the night OF the 18th of Dec
1857, the aurora was again of extraordinary
brllliancy, and on that night there was an
earthquake at Naples, which nearly destroyed
the towns of Salernol Poteuza, and Vola.-
The recent aurora, on the 2Sth of August,
and several following nights, produced very
decided effects upon the electric currents OF
the earth with the aurora was wellestablished.
The foreign steamer bringing dates Of the
3lst ul., mentions an earthquake in Italy, de-
stOrying the town of VOrica, in the Pope's
dominions, and killing 200 people. The date
of the event is not given, but it had just Oc-
Cured, and the time could not have been far
from the 2Sth. Putting these condolences
together, and we have SOunder baSi>ItOr gen.
eralization than many respectable theories
I'VE been er cted upon. In all these great
phenomena the unknown power which we
call electricity evidently plays the leading part
the modes of its operation we shall know
much better by and by.-SprinaJfeM Repu6-

five years, with no interruption but Sunday
At the end Of the first two years there is
furlough of several weeks, this being the only
time during the course in which the Cadet is
allowed to leave the academy. There are
endless opportunities during the military exer-
cises for incurring demerit, and if any Cadet
incurs one hundred in six months he is de-
clared deficient in conduct. For all this drill

are required to pay for board SO to $40 per
month, and 50 for washing Other expenses,
as clothing, &C., consume the whole. Their
fare is of the plainest kind.

Beautiful Extract.

The following waif aaoat on the "sea of
reading" we clip from an exchange:
Men seldom think OF the great event of
death until the shadows falls across their own
path, hiding forever from their eyes the traces
of loved ones whose living smiles was the sun
light of their existence. Death is the great
antagonist of life, and the cold thought Of the
tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do
not want to 60 through the dark valley, al
though its passage may Lead to paradise; and,
with Charles Lamb, We do not want to lie
down in the muddy grave, even With kings
and princes for our bed fellows. But the hat
of nature is inexorable. There is no appeal
or relief from the great law which dooms US
to dust. We flourish and we fade as the
leaves OF the forest, and the flower that
blooms and withers in day has not Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest monorch that
ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Gen
erations OF men appear and vanish as the
grass, and the countless multitude that
throng the world to day, will Tomorrow dis
appear as the footsteps on the shore"

A Man Living Five Days with q Bro
ken Neck,

The Louisville journal says Some two
weeks since an elderly German fell during
the night down steep flight of steps and
struck the side of his head against the wall
at the landing. lie was taken up insensible
and carried to his ROOM 1t was found on ex-
animation, when he became conscious, that
he was paralyzed in all those parts of his body
below the neck, and that his neck was bro
ken. He remained in this condition some
thing over five days, conversing freely with
his attendants, ard describing TO them all the
sensations which he had. His attending sur
geons, Drs. Thum and Goldsmith, we believe,
made an attempt to set the neck, but were
obliged to desist, on account of sutfocation
coming On whenever the head was brought
into its natural position Between the fifth
and sixth days, tine nurse undertook to re-
move him fer the purpose of changing his lin
en-, and in doing so the head was unwilling
ly turned so that the neck was straight
Death took place Immediately. But for this
accident there is no telling how long he might
have lived. Altogether, the case is most
extraordinary one, and no doubt will, in due
time, be published authoritatively in some
medical journal.
