Under all the circumstances, the Democracy of
Bradford have covered themselves with glory. They
have come up to the work in unison and harmony,
and have achieved a brilliant triumph. In no other

AWFUL Crurraorne.—On %Veihrestlay evening,
says the Lat.caster (Pa.) Republican, about half
past five o'clock. a terrible accident occurred at the
new Catholic Chnrvh , building, which resulted in
the death of tyro stone•cutters, named Henry Lentz
and Michael Kuhns ' and the severe injury of Samu
el Carter, and John W. Lafferty, also workmen ern.
played on the building. They were engaged with
four whets. in removing a cm stone sill for one of
the upper niches, along the scaffolding, forty feet
from the ground, when one of the tootlocks ol the
scaffolding gave way, precipitating the stone and
four of the men to the earth below. Kuhns and
Lentz were moat shockingly crushed, thereto dying
within half an hour ol the sad occurrence, and the
other between eight and nine o'cli ck the next morn
ins.
f he unfortunate men were in the employ of
Messrs. Konigmacher, contractors for the mime
work, under the superintendence of Mr. McCor.
mirk. The scaffolding was well pot up, and the
acciden' of such a character as could not have been
foreseen. Lentz and Kuhns were buried on Thurs.
day afternoon, in Woodland Hill Cemetry, tee
Messrs. Kouigmacher ha% inv purchased a lot es.
pecially for that , purpose. The unfortunate men
were Germans, without families. Their funeral
was large and respectable, the deceased having
been much respected by those who knew them
Carter and Lafferty and under the medical care ol
Dr. John L. Atlee, and it is expected they will re
cover from their injuries.
Pam SALT LAU, CITTe-Accounts from Salt Lake
City, to the 31st of April, sass:—
In the Salt Lake Valley, every thing was going
on prosperously and quietly. The crops this year
are hardly equal to what was expected, but much
greater than the demand for consumption. The
Mormons are building op a dense city at Salt Lake.
They have finished their Tabernacle, and have
commenced the Temple Wall. This i• a wall fif
teen feet high, which ts to surround the Temple
grounds—an arena of about ten acres. The Tem
ple is to be commenced in April next. Trade and
business have been reasonably brisk in the Valley
-during the season, and the settlements are extend
ing themselves out in the various directions.

crushed nearly the whole family. On proceeding
to the scene of the disaster, we found that the kitch

one mass upon the floor below, and presenting a
heap of ruins. The ele.est daughter was released
from the fallen mass considerably injored...her right
hand being severely burned. A younger daughter
received more and severer bruises. Her lip and
chin were belly gashed., The hired girl at work
in the kitchen received tise falling timbers upon her
head and shoulders, which crushed her to the table
where she stood, and injured her very badly, if net
de:lcon:rely. Her injuries internally were eiident.
ly severe, as she vomited blood. On examining
the cause of this accident, it was found that-the
timbers, instead of being morticed into the plate,
barely rested on a strip of pine board nailed to the
plate. The whole was put together in the most
culpable manner ...Le any Gazette.

holding out a promise of usefulness which it treach

to light the grossest mismanagement of the institu

patients, but in the general conduct ul the establish
ment. While, in modem institutions, so much has
been done to ameliorate the condition of the insane,
while kind treatment has been Universally ieceognis

Some of the cases of cruelty, brought to light by
'the examiner, are almost too revolting to desrcibe.
11 appears that the incurables are lodged in cells
partially under ground, where their only couches
are trough* filled with straw and covered with a
blanket. Ott these miserable beds, worse than
many a man gives to his horse or dog, the victims
lie in the coldest weather, without night clothes,
frequently creeping into the straw in order to keep
warm. These poor unfortunates also are often fed
in a way as disgusting as it is cruel, being laid on
their backs, and held down by one of the nurses,
while another forces into she nrooth the bread and
milk which is their alloted food. This revolting
practice is adopted to save time. (or it was proved
on oath that patients. thus treated, ate their meals
by themselves, it allowed sufficient leisure. The
imbeeile patients, instead of being bathed with de
cency, as humanity and health demands, are thrown
on the stone-floor, in a state of nudity,-and there
mopped by the nurses. Such things would seem
incredible, if they had not been proved on oath

The only defence made by the officers of the in
stitution was that they were ignorant of the butche.
ries committed by their interiors ; and, strange to
say, they appear to consider this an all-sufficient
excuse. In too many other cases, a similar lax
sense of duty prevails among the heads of ttie more
ancient charities in England, so that Bethlehem
hospital is probably not the only place where be.
quests for benevolence are shanielully perverted
from their orig inal humane destination, arid are
wasted through neglect, it not mails the instruments
of cruelty. The good which the revenues of Beth
lehem hospital might do, if honeelLand judicious
ly administered, can scarcely eV-estimated. A
hundred thousand dollars a year, devoted to the
kindly_ treatment of the insane, might restore many
an unhappy person to reason, and afford a home to
incurables, whose poverty otherwise would consign
them.to a poor house, or hurry them to a premature
death for the want of ordinary care.
It is probcdde that the investigation will lead to
parliamentary action, which will compel a more
honest and humane management of this great Eng
li-h charity. gut, though the evil may be remedi
ed for the future, who shall indemnify the insane
for the robbery practised, and the barbarities inflict

SUPPECTED POIEDNING AND PARRICIDN—TVIR.DLIC
DPCLOSUNCS.—The citizens of Looking Glass Prai.
rie, Illinois, have lately been thrown into most se
riotsitalarm and excitement by reason of recent dis
closures, affecting the character of two of the Fin
zeta. The facts are briefly these: Mr G. and Wile,-
lately residing about six mires north-east frcm Le
banon, were suddenly taken ill, just after' taking
ea, daring the past spring. They were repeerable
fainters, having a family consisting ef three chile.
ten, the eldest daughter about 1 . 5 years of age. Mrs.
G died within two days alter the attack, seemingly
laboring under an attack of fatal cholera Mr. G.
recovered ; but soon after being somewhat indis
pos-d, his eldest child, the daughter, prepared some
gruel at his tegoest. Of this he ate, and , was im
mediately seized wi h violent pains, accompanied
by insatiate thirst and vomiting. Mr. G. rapidly
grew worse, a physician was called in, who pre
scribed for the cholera. In the course of a isrvs
days Mr G also died. The orphan children, in
cluding the danghfrr, were then removed to Ohio,,
from which State the family had originally emigra.
teil, about 8 years since. At the time of the death
of the parents no suspicion of foul play was excited
Since, however, the conduct of the danglYes has
led to the suspicion that she poisoned both her. pa
rents. It seems 'that she was courted by a young
man, to whale attentions the parents objected.—
Their opposition to the young man was based upon
his bad character, and went solar as to interdict all
communication between the lovers To remove
this obstacle to their wishes, it is suspected that the
young girl consenred.to and committed the horrible
crime of parricide. It is now recollected that a par
eel of arsenic, kept in the farm house to destroy
vermin, suddenly disappeared, and that the dangh.
ter had inquired for poison at the house of an uncle,
about a mile distant • that the physician who at
tended the dying father, requested permission to
examine the gruel, bat that it had been thrown
away by the daughter ; that the ensuing ;lay a
number of domestic fowls died around the house.
But, above all, the correspondence of the daughter
with the suitor, having been accidentally read, dis
closed to the astonished relatives several circtim•
stances proving the suspected crime. The coroner
of St. Clair will examine the dead bodies, in order
to submit the contents of their stomachs to chemi
cal testi. A judicial invsstigalion will also be in
stituted, th e r e t e,:: of which we hope will prove the
present suspicions to be pn'onnded, and justify the
conclusion of the Romans, that parricide was an
impossibility.—Gakno Admata.
THE DIITICULTT AT HAvANA WITH THE Caesczet
Civir.—lly a telegraphic despatch from Mobile, it
will be seen that Judge Conklin, the United States
Minister, has had an interview with the Captain
General of Coin, and arranged the difficulty ,con.
earning the Crescent City Steamer, so far. that . the
mails and passengers will be landed as heretofore.
The Captain General, however, insists upon his
right to exclude Purser Smith, and that individual,
so obnoxious to the Cuban Government, will not
be allowed the privilege of going ashore again.—
Mr. George LEW does not seem to be able tot et stp,
for the benefit of Spain, a new international code,
of his own making. Vattel's law is still consider.
ed as rod as Law'. law. The gg Republic" re
bukes Mr. Law for insisting that the Department.

Mr. President: Availing myself of the invita

over whit!r you preside, t have come to pa-ticipate
in the appropriate ceremonies of this occasion. and
to manifest the sincere approval with which
regard your noble . undertaking.
Yon have now reared the first column of an erli•
Bee intended to attract the productions of genius,
industry and art from all the civilized nations of the
world. This liberal design is in harmony with the
prevailing spirit and tendency of the age in which
we five, and its successful completion will form a
conspicuous land mark in the history of American
progress. It is a generous conception, alike honor=
tile to the public spirit and patriotism of the citizens
forming the association. and important in its influ
ences upon the advancement and happiness of so
ciet y.
The conquests already Made and the increasing
interest evinced by our own countrymen in the cul
tore of those useful arts, wh ch promote the physi
cal prosperity and moral elevation of a people, are
a source corium pride and encouragement to the
American Statesman.
By the blessing of Providence we are permitted
to work out our destinyin a period of profound
peace. For more than a third of a century the civ.
ilized world has been exempt from those destruct
ive wars and convulsions which hail so long wasted
the beet energies of the hymen race ! Noble pur
poses engage the-thoughts of men and the councils of
nations.
Instead of meeting in battle array, and spending
havoc and desolation over the face of the earth, a
kindlier rivalry prevails; and governments cope
with each other in a more generous spirit of emu
lation ; in works of benificence and improvement ;
in the expansion of commerce, the encouragement
of industry, and the triempht of peaceful inven
tion.
People. 'widely separated from each other by in•

all) diffusing over the globe the spirit of nnivers

the human family by the cordial ties of sympathy
and concord
When considered in a mere political aspect, the
