The Baltimore Clipper relates an occur
renee which took place in that city day OF
two ago, which can only be looked upon as
an instance of Divine rebuke for taking the
name Of the Almighty in justification Of q
falsehood. 1t appears that few days since
the aunt of young girl about eighteen
years Of age, accused her of having been
guilty Of some misconduct, which she posi-
lively denied, and On being again accused,
she called upon God to strike her blind ii
she was not telling the truth. In a moment
after, according to her own statement, film
seemed to pass before her eyes, and in five
minutes she was totally blind, and has con,
tinued sightless ever since. The afflicted
victim Of her own impiety confessed that she
had called upon her Maker to Justify her in
what was falsehood. May not this be con.
sidered as terrible instance of Divine
wrath, aud may not the thOughtless take
warningl

During the recent frightful tornado about
Cincinnati, number of trees were blown
across the track of the Parkersburg branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. About
the time the night train was due, an old
farmer near the line of the road discovered
a large tree directly across the track, at q
point where an accident must prove very
destructive. He Immediately collected wood
and started bOnfres in the road, upon both
sides Of the fallen tree, and lighting torch
he proceeded in the direction of the an.
preaching train. His two sturdy sons were
first called, however, who set to work with
their axes, and by the time the train arrived
at the point of danger, the track had been
nearly cleared, and, with but few minutes
delay vas enabled to proceed on its way.
Such acts of disinterested good will towards
q railroad company, and load Of human
freight, is worthy Of record.

BALTIMORE, June 1.-THE Grant street
theatre has been engaged for the use Of the
National Democratic Convention, which will
reassembe here on the 18th, for the purpose
of making nominations for President and
Vice President.
AS to the action of the convention, in the
matter of organization, it is generally be,
lieved that Mr.. Gushing, the Chairman, will
admit the regular delegations from Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida, South Carolina, Arkansas, &C., but that
the Douglas men will afterwards override his
decision and give the seats to their friends.
RICHMOND DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
RICHMOND, June ii The Southern Con.
stitutional Convention of delegates who Sc
ceded from the Charleston Convention, re-
assembled in this city today, III pursuance
of adj urnment.
The States Of Louisiana, Texas, Mississip.
pi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Caro-
lima, Arkansas, Virginia, and New York are
represented in convention.
Most Of the States have full delegations
present; but Virginia has only two and New
York seven.
The New York delegates, however, come
accredited as delegates of the National Dem.
ocratic Convention, and not as delegates to
the previous consulting convention, and at
present it is doubtful if they are admitted,
They were received on the opening Of the
Convention, however. with great applause.
The Convention convened in Metropolitan
Hall, at precisely IL o'clock, and was called
to order by Mr.. W. S. Mullany, of South
Carolina, on whose motion ex Gov. Lubbock,
ofTexas, was appointed temporary Chairman.
Mr.. Nickels, Of Georgia, and Mr.. Manning,
Of South Carolina, were appointed Secreta,
ries.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Barrow, the
convention proceeded to appoint two COM
mittees; one on credentials, and the other
on organization and business, with instruc-
tions to report at 10 o'clock tomorrow, to
which hour the convention then adjourned
The convention is very calm and digniied
in itself; nor is there any excitement arising
from outside pressure,
1t is generally believed that it will not at
present take any tinaI action on the subject
of a nomination, but after day or two of
consultation among the members, and per.
baps the adoption of platform of principles,
it will adjourn to await the action of the
Baltimore Convention, to which all the del
egates are accredited.

In our hasty notice Of the Editorial Excursion
over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, it was
impossible for us to mention all the interesting
incidents that occurred on the way, among those
omitted, was the interest that was excited by the
suggestion that scraps Of paper should be fur
dite short article upon any subject that might
occur to his mind, the whole to be bound together
and presented to Col. VIM. P. Smith, the Mastor
of Transportation, manuscript Newspaper, as
slight testimonial of our appreciation Of his as
sduous efforts, which were crowned with complete
success, to make our trip as agreeable and inter
esting as the heart could desire. Among the
gems hastily thrown off on the occasion was the
following verses from the pen of Mr.. J. e. Carnes,
editor of the Texas Christian Advocate:
The ways that whiEl us whore we wake
To chatter in the mart,
Should have one noble link to make
Connection" with the heart.
And this which bears us through the grand
In nature, art and lore,
Is to the iron arteried land
AoFata eVermore.
Oh ! consecrate Union flag,
To play upon the gale,
Far upward, where the eagles crag
Sastains the cleaning rail
Plant it where the missioned waters part,
To bless a wide domain
And where, returning to the heart,
They leap to meet again
And we-will send our children there,
And they their children send,
To breathe the patriots thankful prayer,
Till time itself shall end.
ThroDging through all successive time
This old, historic way,
Be theirs the pride of race and cline.
Which we have felt to-day
