Death by Lightning.

John Cate, a youth of fifteen years
son Of Mr.. David Cate, was killed BY
lightning about 10 o'clock "Wednesday
morning, in tho edge of Athens, on the
road leading in the direction Of Mad.
sonvillc. He had been TO the country
on an Grand, and was returning when
tho casualty occurred. The horse he
was riding was also Killed. The dis.
charge seems 10 have struck him on the
head, passing downward and stripping
the clothing from the upper part of his
person. When found he was lying on
bis face, beside the dead horse, with
blood flowing from both ears. John
Cate was bright, active youth, in fun
health and vigor, and his terribly sud.
den death falls with unusual severity
upon his parents and friends.

MIR, Fillmore.

The New Orleans Republican gives
the following just estimate OF thechar'
acter and public services of the lac ex'
President Fillmore. 1t is not onl, cor
rect but much fairer than any we have
seen in Republican journals:
There has been perhaps no better rep
resentative American than Willard
Fillmore, a man Of unprctendng but
mistaken integrity, Of unostentaiiou'
and tolerant faith. Of large love for hi'
whole country aud with no prejudice
against any portion of IFS people,
mind substantial and comprehensive
capable of all public affairs, yet with 10
abnormal development Of any SPECIAL
fannie. :..... ~..~.~-.., r~o.-:- n" political
intrigues. IL is probable that tho char.
acter Of Willard Fillmore will compare
very nearly with that Of Washington in
its mental and moral balance, aud in a
uniform reputation that has defipd and
survived the INSCRIPTIONS assaults
which capacious ambition always directs
against unpretending integrity.
Mr.. Fillmore lived at the time when
it especially required sterling qualities
TO Oil the executive station. He stood
as a breakwater between the Interests
and the prcjudices of sections. AS tie
author Of tariff not sufficiently pre-
iective rs TO satisfy the iimid or cow
tious, yet recognizing n principle thit
cxasperaied the free traders, he excited
the hostility of the one without gaining
enthusiasm of the other. lie did moi,
perhaps satisfy Greeley, and certainly
did not appease Rhett. In like manner,
his approval of the measures known as
the compromise acts, exposed him to the
discomfort of abolition without commit
ting notification to his support. He
stood in calm and resolule attitude,
keeping apart Infatuated antagonists.
His successors were not so resolute or
so successful. Perhaps the day Of me-
diation had passed.
