THE Prince OF WALEs.-The Prince Of Wales
IL no genius, II we may believe the best accounts.
He Is said to have been from his childhood un.
commonly dull, and unimpressible by such OBJ
jects as generally gain the attention of children.
His mental condition was such as to excite
great and constant anxiety in the mothers
mind and the first medical men In the kingdom
were called In frequent aud anxious consulta-
tion on the subject. They united in recon-
meuding that instead of his fathers system Of
training, examining and forcing his weak intel
lect, his guardians should give him light aud
agreeable exercise Of mind as we'll a. of body.
This course was adopted ; aud the result is that
management, has been reared into youth Of
barely respectable intelligence.

A FACE THAT WOULD FRIaHTEN THE DEVIL
In Duxbury, Mass, lived Bill HOBBY, as he was
called, the uRliest looking loafer that the town
ever had. Bill got awakened in time of great
religious excitement, and one day at q crowded
meeting, when lie people were standing around
the windows, unable to get in at the house, was
telling bic experience. "My friends" said he,
"for fifty years have carried the devil on my
shoulders.n At this voice In the windows
cried out "If he had looked you in the face
he would have dropped off in hurry" Bill
was bothered, and reserved his speech for an
other time and occasion.

speecn of Cbnrles FrnncIs Adnms.

The son of John Quincy Adams in the
House, has not been given to much speech
making in that body. A few days ago he
discussed the slavery question at some
length and the House listened with an atten-
tion shown to no other man. His effort was
able, and was much commended The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Traveller says of it:
There were no loiterers in the cloak rooms,
no writers at the tables, none reading news
papers all were earnest, anxious listeners.
His speech is called a logical argument, well
constructed, statesmanlike as well as lawyer
like, and accurate as well aseloquent. There
were fears expressed that he would be too
ultra,-nOne think now he was so but he
did not lower the standard from the proud
height at which it has always been carried
by him. His blade was none the less
trenchant because it shone in the sun.
When he had taken his seat he was sur
rounded by cOngratulating friends. The
older members were questioned as to wheth-
er he resembled his father To such ques-
tions Tom Corwin replied, "He has his
fathers voice, his fathers manner, his faith
er's gesture, his fathers tloitch, his fathers
everything" But he has now a reputation
of his own. The position of Mr.. Adams is a
proud one. The posthumous honors of his
father fall thick on his head. One of our
own delegation has said that no man has
received such attention as Mr.. Adams since
he has entered the House.

The CnttarauEns Tornado.

The fury of the late tornado was principal
ly spent in the vicinity of Cattaraugus and
Waverly. Between these places the woods
were entirely blown down. The Reporter
states that upwards of fifty buildings, inclu-
ding out-houses, were either blown down, or
unroofed, or otherwise injured. Mr.. B. Bur-
roughs, a citizen of Wayerly, was almost in
stantly killed 1t appears that at the time
the blow commenced, Mr.. Burroughs was at
work in the WOolen Factory there, and two
young ladies being engaged in the upper part
of the building, he proceeded thither for the
purpose Of assisting them 10 escape. He sue
ceeded in getting them down stairs, and was
proceeding out doors when, just as he st ep-
ped outside thedoor, gust Of wind struck him
and raised him off the ground, and threw him
with such great force against the wall of the
building that he died in about forty minutes.
The young ladies escaped serious injury.
