NARROW ESCAPE OF Boston FAMILY
The London Post gives the following account
of the narrow escape of the family of Mr.. Ed
ward n Perkins, of Boston, from death by
the Pontifcal troops in Perugia, Central Italy +:
Gan American gentleman, Mr.. E. N. Per
kIns Of 1 P9 Ge 18th, With Mrs Perkins and
three other ladies', had very narrow escape
from the hands of the brutal soldiery, who
burst into the Hotel de France, where he was
staying, shot the master of the hotel and the
waiter, and would most probably have muir
dered the travellers also had they not been con-
cealed by the mother of the unfortunate ho-
te-keeper in a dark recess, leading by a Sc
cret door out of one of their bed rooms. In
this suffocatiDg hiding place they all remained
for fourteen hours, and when they at last ven
tured out they found that the whole hotel had
been Quilted, furniture and property destroyed
or carried off, and that Mr.. Perkins luggage,
containing money and valuable effects of many
kinds to the amount of $4,000, had likewise be-
come the prey of the freebooters in uniform.
The United States Minister in Rome, Mr..
Stockton, has received an exact account of the
occurrence from the sufferers, and is making
energetic representations to the government
in order to obtain a suitable reparation.
The ladies with Mr.. Perkins, in Perugia,
were his wife, his sister, Mrs. II. R. Cleve-
land, and his mother, the widow of the late
Bishop Doane of New York.

POLITICAL.

Judge R. P. Spaulding of Ohio has letter
in the Washington Republic, stating that
Judge Swan was dropped from the Republican
State ticket "for the reason that as a judicial
officer, he recognized the Fugitive Slave enact
ment of 1850 to be of binding force in Ohio
and that the other two judges, who were with
him in opinion, will be dropped in the same
way, so soon as they are reached in the order
of time. We do not recognize men to be Re-
publicans herein Northern Ohio-who will,
for moment, sustain that miserable enact
ment" Thanks to the outrageous conduct of
federal officers in Northern Ohio, scarcely a
Republican in the State can be found who does
not denounce the Fugitive Slave law as unfit
to be recognized or obeyed.

control of ex-Senators Clemens and Borland.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Courier and Enquirer, speaking of the
organization OF the next House, says 1.-The
Republicans are gaining confidence in their
ability to elect the Speaker and Clerk. Messrs.
Sherman and Corwin of Ohio, and Mr. Grow
OF Pennsylvania, are the most prominent can.

GENUINE ANTIoUITIEs.-In pleasant con-
trast with the burlesques which assail us every
Fourth of July, were genuine limitations of an
tique customs which formed part OF the re-
cent second centennial celebration of the town
of Woodbury., Connecticut. The antique pro-
cession was formed on the ground where the
old church in Woodbury. once stood. An an
Gent drummer and fifer headed the procession.
Then came the clergy of the various towns
comprising Ancient Woodbury., decked in the
bands and gowns which clergymen of the
ancient of all denominations then wore. There
is nothing said of the old bull-bottomed wigs
of that period. Then came gentlemen and
ladies in the dresses worn by the Puritans two
hundred years ago Most of these were the
Eneal descendants of the first settlers of Wood
bury-the Atwoods, the Minors, the Judsons,
and the Curtises. Then came number in
the Cavalier costumes of Charles IFS time, in
contrast to the Purtans. Then general as
semblage of all the old fashioned dresses worn
from eighty years ago to the present time
post-revolutionary relics. These were follow
ed by antique-dressed men and women on
horseback, the women on billions, and then all
the old chaises that could be collected. These
dresses were not manufactured for the occa
sion, but were veritable relics of the past, pre-
served with much care by the families that
owned them. This part of the procession
closed with couples on horseback and in an
tique chaises, and among these was Captain
Hurd, IS years old, and Mrs. Atwood, aged r.,
dressed i'll ancient costume, and riding a horse
80 years of age.

M. JULIEN IN FRENCH JAIL.-M. Julien,
the well-known chef d'orchestro, was arrested
in Paris in May last, for non payment of bill
of exchange, but in order to obtain release from
Jail, had himself declared bankrupt. NJ Del
epierre, who holds the bill, opposed his dis
charge, on the ground that NJ. Julien having
been naturalized in England, could not avail
himself of the French law. The prisoner
pleaded that as by the act of naturalization, he
could be neither a member of Parliament,
Minister of the Crown, nor a grand dignitary
of the State, he could not be considered Brit
ish subject The tribunal held, however, that
having taken the oath of allegiance to the
Queen of England, he could not be declared a
bankrupt in France, and his application for re-
lease was rejected.

One of them sent communication to the Bos-

ton as a reflection upon the dignity of the bar,
and as kind of revocation of ancient privi-
leges The note elected the following emil
nently practical and democratic response =
"For long time I've every three years been
on jury, and quietly seen a respectable white
headed citizen witness standing i'll court and
being questioned and brow beaten by a very
small and young limb of the law'-sitting and
have greatly wondered at it, and concluded
such inconsistencies could not long continue in
this nineteenth century. Thanks, say l, to the
Court, notwithstanding the Senior Member
fears twill 'belittle him before the Court, to rise.

Eneet. of the storm.

The thunder shower of Wednesday last was
the cause of very general disaster throughout
the county. In Boylston and vicinity it ragged
with great severity. The lightning struck the
house of Eli Hastings, in which were five or six
persons, SCATTERING the chimney and killing the
house dog. A little boy, with his hand upon
the dog at the moment it was killed, did not
feel the shock. The side of the chimney OPP
posite to that which the lightning chose to fol-
low was guarded by Lyons twisted copper
rod. The fluid passed through the room
where Mr.. Hastings and his family were sit
ting. Trees and fences in the same town were
much damaged by the storm.
In Milford, Michael Slattery, living near the
depot, was almost instantly killed by light
ming. He was working on his bench, in the
basement of his residence, with several others.
A moment before the fatal shock he was con-
versing with the person at his side, when he
was soon heard to groan, and expired in about
ten minutes. The house was not injured, and
no other inmate was harmed. Mr.. 5. was an
industrious boot-maker, aged sixty-six years
ent of the Boston Journal gives the following
Renaissance =
The death is the first caused by lightning
that ever occurred in the town. Some years
since, an old revolutionary soldier, named
Benz johnson, was struck but not killed. For
two days he was insensible. when two doctors
were called who said he wnnld do 1"st at

calling his wife by name he said, 81 have

and can stand thunder and Lightning, if doctors
will only let me be"-and sure enough he re-
covered.
In Holden, two cows and an OK, belonging to
Charles E. Porter, were killed. The house
belonging to Luther Marsh, in "Brick City,"
was struck and slightly damaged
In Sterling, the lightning killed four cows
and other stock belonging to Charles Powers.
They were standing under tree in the pas
ture during the shower.
