Aicipknt to A l'liiLAitRuriiiAN. The Chief
of Police yesterday received a lelegraiit from
C'ambridL'c' S'ation, P.i., giving information of
an accident which occurred at that place to a
man whose name is suppo-ed to be James Van
Holland, and a resident of Philadelphia. Tlie
ncc dent was cause. I by the u. r-ou in (piostiou
try 1112 to pet on the mail train while in motion,
lie tell, and had Ins ii:;ht am aud jaw frae
tuirri. and skull ball.y injured back of the right

Attempt at Homikky. The office of Dor
ran e it Doran, on Mill stiect, in bristol, was
biokeu into on Sunday U'irlit, and an attempt
made to blow open tiie tire-proof, which was not
successdul. A lioln was bored iu it and po.vder
insf ited, but tlie lurce of the explosion was not
sutlictent.
Seriously Is.u'itEi). About half-past 1
o'clock, yesterday at : moon, a horsa attached
to a wagon ran oil' at Eighth an I Locust streets.
A email boysf afel in the vehicle was thro.vu
out aud serioubly injured. He ..as removed to
his parents' residence.
Si.ionT Fike. About half-past 1 o'clock,
ye-terday atteruoou, a sliuht lire took place ai
Mo. lull Aortli Fourth street.
Aiioetlute or Dr. Parr.
The London Athvnouuii says:
"Mv.iy must have heard the late Leonarl
Homer tell the lollowiua story ot Dr. I'arr,
whom he knew intimately. We incline to
rpniembcr that Mr. Ilor.ier was piesent, but we
are not sure. At any rate, the story is worthy
ot recoid, morally and physically. Dr. I'arr
and others were staying at' a country house.
Amonn the quests were two Americans, who
made no bones of dill'eriug from the Doctor.
So I'arr said, 'l'o you know where you come
iron), genliemeu ? you come from the place to
winch' we used to send our thieves!' This
made the host, ausry, and he pave the Doctor a
sharp rebuke lor his rudeness, which made:
Lim quit the room in high sulks. The re-t of
the company walked out 'on the lawn, wherj
they amused the Americans wi'.h stories of tlie
Doctor. There was a heavy black cloud over
head, and suddenly there came out of that
cloud the word lham (fair-lisp lor Stm) iu
the Doctor's voice. The company stared, a
word or two was spoken about the curious
directions which unexpected sounds will take,
niid the conversation proceeded. Presently the
awful word was agaiu thrown from the cloud.
" 'And nearer, clearer, deadlier than before.'
There was now surprise and alarm, and all the
party set oil to find the Doctor. They lound him
in his bed-room, and the explanation wai more
sufficient than satisfactory. In bis mood he had
chosen to sit down with his pipe on the top bar
of a very deep old-fashioned grate with a high
mantel thell. Here he had tumbled backwardn,
and was doubled up between the back and tlie
fcars. His only way of calling for help was by
sending his voice up the chimney; and the warn
ing was the echo from the cloud. It we could
but think he bad heard the previous conversa
tion by the tame channel, the poetic, justice of
the calamity would be enbauced. say mat no
tumbled hv leauiug backwards to listen to it,
hut do not say w told the Btoty that way."
PeatU of a Noted Blockade Ennner. v
The London Morning S ar, ot August 11, says:
"The celebrated Captain of the Emily At.
Pierre la dead. The news was received in Liver
pool yesterday from Aden to the effect that ttio
bhip Glasgow, of which vessel the deceased had
been captain, had arrived at Aden, and that
Captain Wilson died on board whila on the voy
age out from England. There are very few of
our readers who will latl to recollect tlie occur
rence which brought Captain Wilson into noto
riety. A lew months alter the Houthern ports
wtie blockaded by the United States licet,
Captain YViUon, in command ot the Emily .St.
Pierre, approached the entrance to Charleston
with a cargo of nunn.y cloth liom Dombay. lie
was chased and captured by a bloc under, and a
prize crew were put ou board. Captain Wilson
esplaim d that be was uuaware of the port being
blockaded, as he had saded from Ilonituy before
llie uews reached that pert. The expUuacun
was of no use, and the captured ship was
ordered to liuston. A lew days alterwards Cap
tain Wilson, having watclied his opportuuity,
"bo' tled" his captors, abered his course, and
In due time reached the Mersey ulL well, wherp
his arrival wai bailed with dtdignt both by the
owners of the ship aud the underwriter. A
few flays uliernaius hand.-ome and valuable tes
timonials were pieentcl to Captain Wilson, bit
cflicers, and men from Ihe Under writer Asso
ciation and tUo lortiuiato owners otths ship.
The di ceu?ed gentleman was highly tsteeuud
in Liverpool.
Foreign Items,
It is well ki:on in India, I hoiiL'h uot so ot
home, that Dr. bhau Daji, a tkillej uUvp phy
ticiau in Uoinb.iy, has for wLuy years made tiio
cure of lc rosy a special object of investigation,
with so much success as to untitle bun to bo
regarded, according to local i auers, as '"one of
the benetacuirs ot the world." Latterly, Dr.
Pbau has striven to establish au taosoitl solely
tor lepers, where Ida treatment and regimen can
be rigidly administered, and, therefore, mure
thoroughly tested than her 'tolore. We learn from
a tiustworihy eyc-witnets that there are a, pre
fent eeveuty cases under tuis treatment, '-oino
iuite cuied, ami others in all stages of cure."
It is stated that "the cine is slow, varying with
the stage of the dis' use. the aye and constitution
ct the patient, etc., but that iu lour to eight
mouths wonderful tlUrts are produced;" and
that Dr. liiiau is saneuine, not without pond
jeason, "that the worst cu.-es cuu bu cuied m
twelve months." One "bad" cae instanced is
t hat of a student, who under very careful ordinary
medical treatment lor eight months received no
benefit froni it whatever, bat havincr no tried
Dr. Bhau Daji's regimen and medicine, for
three months, says he feels sure be will be q iite
cured by tLem, Bud is already not tinQt to ap(ar
in public. Tbo?e who know what leprosy is In
India, and how to'nlly Kuropcan skill and the
Ingenuity of native viml hn've failed in trotting
this proverbially loathsome aud dcspcrt'.e dis
ease, will look with Interest on the progress of
Dr. bhau Daji's very hope'al experiment.
-Zoultiknr, Egyptian Minister of Forelen
Affairs al in crim, has officially communicated
to the representatives of the great Powers, a
