SAD AND STARTLING.-We are called upon to
announce one of the most startlingly sudden
deaths that has ever cone to our knowledge Miss
Theodosia Smith, daughter of Geo. P. Smith,
young lady of 10 years, peculiarly winning by her
cheerfulness and vivacity, was in attendance last
evening, (Monday, I4th,) upon the singing rehear-
sal under Mr. Hall, in the basement Of st. Pauis
Church. She had been, during the evening, more
than ordinarily cheerful and happy; the Life and
delight of her mates. Suddenly she had some af-
fection of one foot, and in laughing manner said
her foot was asleep. Her friends told her to get
up. but she said she could not, adding it is true,
although do laugh. When assisting her to rise,
she fell back unconscious, and never revived She
died about u o'clock This attack was just at the
close of the rehearsal, about 9 o'clock. She was
carried home in a carriage, but never sroke again
The physicians called, say that there was enlarge
nent of the lungs and that she died from paralysis
Of the lungs.
Mr.. Geo. P Smith left home after tea on the
same evening, and went to Toledo, to which place
| this sad news was this morning (Tuesday) tele-
| praphed. This death comes with peculiar force 10

attached to the deceased to the parents and imme-
| date family, the blow is well nigh crushing

CONVERSE BLocK.-This structure is TO be lOca-
ted at the corner of Merwin and James streets,
and will be built under the immediate supervision
of Mr. Porter, the master builder and architect
The cellar for this block was excavated by grading
and elevating the said streets some years since,
which Will prove quite valuable desideratum in
lessening the expenses. 1t will front 67 feet on
Merwin street and extend back one hundred feet
in depth. The first story will be divided into
three extensive business stores. In hight the
block will be three stories above heavy and sub
stantial stone foundation remarkably thick, which
by the way is a very necessary protection, owing
to the unusal depth of the cellar, to prevent the
streets from caving in at some future time. 1t
will be made fire proof throughout and when
completed must prove valuable and important
acquisition to the commercial interests in that vi
cinity. Workmen have already commenced lay
ing the walls.

TABOR, Iowa, March 3.
This thriving little village is located on the Mis-
souri, River, and by down-easters is considered in
the far distant West Its inhabitants are composed
chiefly ofenterprising and Industrious New Eng
landers. Steamboats, ply regularly between here
and Saint Louis, in fact there is not pleasanter
landing place on the upper Missouri, as all testify
who venture thus far into this new country. Much
of the land is under high state of cultivation,
and on the farms of the early pioneers may be seen
some good orchards of grated fruit trees, which
have produced little flut, and viii be yearly aug
menting the supply of this luscious commodity,
that none ought to be deprived of. The land con-
sists of rolling prairie it is a rich and loamy soil
intermixed with sprinkling of clay and the coun-
try is beautifully diversified by small groves. In
many Of these sequestered groups of small trees
are found an abundance Of wholesome wild fruit,
consisting of fPlumbs, Grapes Mulberries, Cherries,
Grab Apples, and Gooseberries, Likewise pleas
ing variety of wild flowers promiscuously bedeck
this fertile region By some il is thought from the
appearance of the earth's surface that minerals
abound in this section. But of the correctness of
this conjecture we leave geologists to decide One
thing is certain, there plenty of an inferior quail
ty Of stone. Lumber and building materials gene
rally are scarce, although there is any quantity of
clay accessible, that be converted into building
brick without much difficulty. The site of this
town was chosen on account OF its being a sort of
high table land, commanding splendid view of
the surrounding country for miles distant, hence
from its position the name Tabor originated, and
now it's often spoken Of as city set on hill, new
villages are annually sprnging up in all parts of
this young State According to the census taken
last year there was about six hundred inhabitants

Postmaster Browns PredictiOn--A Curious
Coincidence.


Postmaster Browns PredictiOn--A Curious
Coincidence.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun re-
lates the following singular incident:
In his office, on last Saturday four 1peeks, an
incident took place, the solemn verifcation Of
which, wildly revives it in the mind of the
only survivor of the three gentlemen present at
the interview.
Postmaster General Brown was signing bis
official journal-his clerk standing on his left,
turning over the pages as each signature was
affixed Mr. Marion, then the Third Assistant
Postmaster General, having under charge at
that critical period the important responsibilities
of the finance division, entered the room to OBJ
tain Mr.. Browns signature to a draft. Turn
ing to the right he cheerfully signed the paper,
and Mr.. Marion was retiring, when the head OF
the Department remarked, ''Marron, / wish you
would come in and see me when / get through
this"
Being then long after the usual office hours,
Mr.. N. turned and said, ''Do you wish me to
see you again to-day, sirl" "Yes," replied
Mr.. Brown 81 want to know if you have sci
your house in order, for in month or less we
shall have neither habitation or a name here. VI
Mr. Maroon, with conviction that his official
house was always in order, paused moment
and with surprise and smile, remarked, ''My
house in order!"
"Yes, sir-your house in order, for in q
month or less we shall neither have habitatior
or name here" "Wen, Governor" replied
Mr.. Marion, ''if the storm comes, can stand
it as well as Others" and then pleasantly lefi
the room.
The lamented head of the department ther
said that his remarks referred to the action o.
Congress, indicating the defeat Of important
measures then under review.
How prophetic was the prediction of tha
hour! On that very day four weeks the effieien
assistant was followed to the tomb, and now th'
statesman from whose lips with so much EN-
phasis it fell.
