Lord Macaulay, the historian, is
short in stature, round, and with a grow
ing tendency to aldermanic dispropor-
tions. His bead has the same rotundity
as his body, and seems stuck on it as
firmly as pin head. This is nearly the
sum of his personal defects, all else. ex-
cept his voice (Which is monotonous and
disagreeable), is certainly in his favor.
His face seems literally instinct with
expression; his eyes. above all, full of
deep thought and meaning As he
walks, or rather struggles along the
streets, he seems in state of total ab-
straction. unmindful of all that is going
on around him, solely occupied with his
own working mind.

Pixies Peak.

IS- The news from Pixies Peak con-
tinues favorable, though we certainly
think it should be taken with many grains
of allowance. A friend now in st. Jo-
seph, Missouri, writes that he has seen
and conversed with two men, who stated
that they left the mines at the same time
that the letters containing these favorable
accounts left there, and yet, although
these reports were current at Denver
city, they were not believed by any one
However, the Leavenworth papers pub
fish long statement signed by HORACE
GREELEY and two other persons, named
A. ID. RICHARDSON and HENRY WILLARD,
which represents the yield of gold in
several different diggings-naming To-
cality, persons, &c.,-at from $50 to
500 per day, per man, some companies
taking out five and six hundred dollars
per diem. Some claims have been sold
as high as $4,000, and many others are
said to have changed hands at from
$4,000 to $4,000 These gentlemen,
however, deprecate any renewal Of the
infatuation which seized the people here
the past spring, and exhibit the difficult
ties under which emigrants must labor.
There are more in the mines now than
can live there, owing to the dearth of
provisions, and although many persons
are doing well, many others are making
nothing. After October, the probability
is that mining will be impossible for six
months, in consequence of snow, and
during this time men must lie idle, and
unless well provided with provisions,
must suffer. The chances, therefore, in
this case, as Elsewhere, are against min
ing paying as well, upon an average, as
labor at home.

a shocking and fatal accident which hap
pened near that place few days ago.
1t appears that an Irishman named John
Downey was engaged by J. 0. Crosby
to dig cistern, and having dug to the
depth of nine feet he attempted to climb
out with the assistance of his long hand
led shovel, and some steps he cut in the
side of the cistern wall He stuck the
shovel upright and made the attempt to
get out, but when he was near the top.
his hold in the steps gave way and he
fell astride the shovel handle, which was
driven into him some nine inches, the
thin overalls which he wore offering but
little impeachment. His weight sunk the
shovel deeper into the ground, and he re.
manned thus impaled upon it long time
before any assistance came He was at
length taken out and the shovel with.
drawn from his body. and he fingered in
the greatest agony until Saturday night.
when he expired.
