New Books,
Moons. By Louisa NJ. Aleott, author Of ''Hospi-
tai Sketches" Boston: Loring. 1850.
This book displays at the START, and
sails under, the colors ofone Of Emerson's
golden sentences, which Of itself is enough
to tempt one on in hope to find the work
pitched on that key note, and which is it
self worth the price of the volume. But We
must not mislead genuine story-lovers, to
many Of whom Emerson is sealed book,
BY giving the impression that this is
book of distractions, or essays made up of
poetry and metaphysics. For know, this
is a story, and, if appearances donot belle
live and nimble one.
The authoress is somewhat known to
fame and those whose literary taste Graves
stories will find this an enjoyable one. And,
unlike multitudes of stories, this has run
ming through it ia vein of contemplation,
a general theory Of life, which may make
it not without interest to the rejecting.

FATAL AcCIDENT.-MAE KILLED AT RAN
SON COBB's SASH AND BLIND FAcToRY.-
John Kitchtien, German, in the employ
of Ransom d Cobb, sash and blind manu-
facturors, on the Flats, met with terrible
accident yesterday morning, which at this
writing thrcateud to prove fatal. The un-
fortunate man was engaged saving board
with circular saw, propelled by steam,
when, through inadvertance, as is supposed
by his fellow workmen, in not holding the
board firmly in its place, q portion of it,
when struck by the saw, was thrown off
with tremendous violence, a sharp end
striking Kitehtien on the left cheek bone,
tearing the bone out, ard burying itself
from two to three inches in the skull, in
ficting most frightful wound. DR.. Brooks
wHs sent for and probed The wound, but all
efforts to save the life of the man were
hopeless. We learn that he died last
night. He had family, and had been in
the employ of Ransom & Cobb for several
years, and in the occupation of sawyer for
some seven or eight years, never having
before met with the slightest accident. He
has always been regarded as q careful, re-
