DEALINGS WITH THE DEAD.-A writer in the
Eclectic ReUie'C, in discussing the subject of me-
mortal tombs, makes brief allusion to two speci-
mems OF interment he has visited each having its
own pecuiarities:
One is the grave of st. Carlo Borromeo, beneath
the marble temple of Milan. This venerated and
popular archbishop Of the sixteenth century, to
whom Milan owes, among other things, the com
pletion of its Duom0 virtually mummifed; he
was then clothed with sumptuous archiepiscopal
attire; the mitre was placed on his skinny scalp;
the croser in his withered gripe; a splendid ring
upon his shrivellsd fingers and the whole was en-
closed in a coffin of transparent chrvs;al Who
soever will now pay few francs for the sight
may have an opportunity OF inspecting at leisure
this lesson on the vanity Of human greatness
In contrast to this | may mention the curious
practice of the Capuchin frars, who boil their dead
in some strong antiseptic, bake them in an oven,
then cothe them in a long serge gown, confined
with girde of ropes and having placed their we'll
thumbed rosary on the withered fingers, arrange
them In the open inches Of a subterranean chapel.
In one Of the Capuchn monasterie5 in Malta there
Is ine collection Of these semi-cu0ked individuals
After year or two they become unable to stand as
they were at first placed; then. for a time, they
are suspended, and, faay in ghastIy submission,
they are doubled together and laid in their rags tn

THE THREE PERsoNs CARRIED Over NIAGARA
FALLs.--"On Friday the I'd inst, a man by the
name of Rosseau, and MIR. Morse and wife, started
in boat from near the head of the Hydraulic ca
nal, at Niagara Falls, to cross over the river to
Chippewa, when the boat was struck by a gale and
capsized. They were observed by persons on shore
with spyglasses to get on the boat in safety They
were soon carried by the strong current into the
rapids and were last seen above the Three Sisters
The wind was blowing gale at the time, and the
efforts which were commenced for their rescue
could not be completed before they were hopeessly
engufed in the fatal waters of the rapids. We
learn that Rosseau was saved from fate like this
only about a year ago, and when rescued was so
chilled as to be entirely helpless. He is reported
by the citizens in his neighborhood to have been a
smuggler by occupation. MIR. Morse was jewell
Ter, and resided at Chippewa. Stockport Adrer.

A correspondent OF the Charleston Ucrcury
writing from Denver's Spring. n c., tells of =
Revolutionary soldier named Henry residing there
who was in the battle Of Kings Mountain:
''He is nearly 95 years old and still reads with
out spectacles; he a boy the time of the
battle, but stood his ground when Frrguson's
troops charged with the hay"net, and in cons.-
quence had a thrust through the hand and into tho
thigh. His rife, which he had just loaded. was
discharged at the moment he received the thrust.
This killed his antagonist, and after the British had
retired up the mountain, MIR. Henry was found
lying by log with the musket hanging by its
bayOnet to his thigh. He aftcrward became a dis
tinguished criminal lawyer, and is said t. have
defended more desperate criminal cases than any
other man in the State He has in manuscript an
account of the battle prepared BY himself with the
aid of Vance, another Of the partcipators in that
battle. He says that Sumt.r's original name was
not the Game Cock but Tuck That he was 50
called by one Gilmore, who owned Il blue hen
famous for her game chickens. That celebrated
lighter named Tuck was Of this b,ue hens
chickens, and in compliment to Supter's pluck,
Gilmore gave him the cOgnOmen Tuck which was
afterward changed into 'fhc Game Cock"

The SILKERY OF THE SKIEs-Mr. Merriam, in a
letter to the Advertiser, explains with more minute
ness the character of the specimen of the Aurora
Light which he has preserved in his cabinet. He
says:
"The Commercial Advertiser, two or three davs
since, contained paragraph in relation to an arti-
Gle in my cabinet, which | dcnominated product
of the "Silkery of the Skies" 1t is of exquisite
whiteness, and of silvery lustre and when first OBJ
tanned was two or three inches in length: but on
being placed between two LAYERS of blue silk il as
sumed round form not larger than a small pea
This substance have frequently mentioned in nv
communications on the weather, published in the
Journal Of Commerce, as electric lines resembling A
SILK warp, which are occasionally seen in the hioh
atmosphere, extending several miles in length.
'These electric lines, when broken, have the ap-
pearance of beautiful floss silk elder down. The
oreatbln2s of the Mauna Loa volcano in the island
OF owyhee, are sometimes condensed forming what
IS known by the natives as Pele's hair The god

Poe, in his Essay on the Poetic Principle said o f
the poet Laureate: 81 call him and think him the
noblest of poets--not because the impressions he
produces are, at all times, the most profound-not
because the poetical excitement which he induces
is, at all times, the most intense-but because il i
at all times the most etherial-in other words the
most elevating and the most pure. No poet is so

SALE OF THE ICARTAv PRorERTY AT NAuvoo.-0n
Monday of last week, the property of the Icariau
Community at Nauvoo, in Illinois, sold. The
debts of the Community amounted to 81 0O0O and
to secure them, an assignment Of the property had
been made. A portion of it old for enough to pay
off the debts, and $4,000 worth left unsold.-
The Temple lot and the ruins of the structure sold
for $780, the School House for 81, OPS; and the
Distillery for S6,550. The Community have pur-
chased tract of 5000 acres of land in Adams
County, Illinois, and are about to thither.
This Community was formed in France in lS4S, by
NJ. CADET. Sixty-nine of the number composing
the original company came to this country in that
year, and settled on the Red River, in Texas
Twenty days after they left France the Revolution
occurred and NJ. CADET and his friends being un-
friendly to the new Government, came to the Uni
ted States in sufficient numbers to raise the Red
River Community to about five hundred Their
original location not being satisfactory, they
moved to Nauvoo in lS49 Here, aft = a few years,
the Community became jealous of the power as
sumed by NJ. CADET, and appointed another supe-
rior, NJ. Girard CADET, offended at this left aud
removed with several others OF the Society to St.
Louis, where he died about two years since. The
Community has been weakened, also, by other
causes, until now it numbers only about one hun
dred and eighty.
