OBITUARY,
late,y4terday afternoon, as the shades of 'night
were beginning to gather over the beautiful landscape
in the region around Germantown, the mortal remains
..of Mae, MARY COCHRAN LAMBDIN, were commit
ted to the earth in the presence of a large number of
sorrowing relative§ and friends. The impressive bu
rial service of the Episcopal Church was read in
1, St. Luke's Church, and ti a interment took place in
•
the grave-yard attached to that edifice. S§veral distin
guished clergyman participsled_ In the sad rites,
having been very old friends ofMrs. Zambdln and her
husband, James R. Lambdin, Esq„ the Artist. Stand_
ing reverently uncovered at the open grave of this
admirable lady, surrounded by the fart fly of which she
so long was one of the heads, we could not sorrow a s
one without hope, for the -words or our Saviour
flowed out from our hearts to our lips:
'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see
God."
Purity, simplicity. perfectly transparent troth and
love were the distinguishing characteristics of Mrs.
Lambdin s mind and heart, united to a quick percep
tion and a. temperament which years of terrible dis
ease could not do more than soften and mellow. The
record of her calm and peaceful life is like a placid
river shining in the sunlight and reflecting nothing
but gentle lights and shades. To her friends the loss
.of such a lady would be irreparable, did they not look
forward to a meeting in that eternity where, unspot

Meeting of the Stockholders.
'ek
The Steckholders of the Whipple File Hannfitetur
ing Company assembled in the Office of the Company,
No. 39 Kilby street. yesterday afternoon. in response to
the pi Wished notice of the holding of the annual meet
ing at that time. There was quite a large number pre
sent. and previous to the opening of the mee ing he
subject of the recent failure of the Company, was ear
nestly discussed The President of the corporation.
Mr. Williym P Pierce, called the meeting to order, and
tho call was read by J. B. Croswell, the clerk.
The r eport of the committee appointed at n previous
meeting of the stocklgiders to investigate the affairs
01 the company was next called for. On ecccunt of
the illness of Mr. Cheney. the chairman of that com
mittee, at his request Mr. Charles W. Cartwright made
a verbal report. He stated that• the, committee were
not yet ready to make a full and flhal report They
bad appointed an accountant to make up a fall state
ment. from the books of the company, or its property,
e wets and Hebrides, who bad not .yet completed Us
work. The committee therefore arked that further
time be given them. The committee, knowing that
the present capital of the company vra- entirely in
sufficient to carry on its enormous business, recom
mended that the directors be authorized and requested
to immeolately apply to the Legislature now in ses
sion, for SD independent cheater under the name of the
"'Whipple File and meet CoMparay." with a capital of
not less than 52,00,000: also that they be allowed to
Petition f. r X 3,000,000 capital, should they deem it ne
cessery.r
Afte making the repOrt,lfx.Cartwright moved that
the committee be allowed further time to prepare
their report. The motion was unanimously
carried. Mr. Cartwright next moved that the di
rectors be requested to apply for an independent
charter. accorffir g to the recommendation of the com
mittee. This motion was also carried unanimously.
The president, when the above business had been
transacted, cal led. upon Mr. Harvey Waters of North
bridge—who, he said, was an experienced and somas
ful machinist, ;and. in the late war Jutd roiled at least
three hundred thoesand bayonets f-r the government
—te give bis views to the stockholders relative to the
mechanical condi• ion of the company.
Mr. Waters gave a report of the machines and their
capacity. When he first became acquainted with the
companysome two years ago, the general character of
its files. he did not hesitate to say, was bad. hint*
men however. great, very great improvements have
been mate. and now he thought the machinery was in
better condition to manufacture files than any other
concern in the country. In his opinion, with what
machinery the company now bad they could go on
and make money taster than any similar estandsh
-ment In the Drifted Elates. These, was some of the
machinery which be considered valueless, that should
be tt rown aside, but generally, as he before staled, the
machinery was win:drably adapted r the work.
Mr. Gillespie, one of the stockholders, asked
Waters for his opinion concerning the management of
the wo: ks vi bether or not the business had been con
ducted economically.
Mr. Waters replied that be did not pretend to know
anything concerning the financial affairs of the com
pany. He would say, however. that in his opinion
the stockholders appid get no better men to conduct
their business thine their present President. He
thought that much good and profit would arise from
the appointment of some good mechanical mind at the
head of the works at Ballardvale, whose duty it should
be to personally oversee the manufacture of files and
of steel. The presiaent was a good practical man, but
he did not know some things about machinery that
others knew. What was wanted wasa first class ma
chinist who she u'd be under him and between him
and the work. Wnere such a mechanical mind could
be found, the speaker did not know, but such a mind
sheu d be found and put in that position.
Mr. Pierce, the President of the Company, then
made some general remarks concerning the manufac
ory. The cause of the trouble was that the company
had endeavored to carry on a business requiring a
capital or millions of dollars with a few thousands; tor
this reason their operations had been checked. Though
the affairs of the company werejust now mailer a cloud
- he himself rid not entertain any gloomy thoughts for
the future, but on the contrary was confident that
prosperity was still in store for thestockholders,stionld
ney continue the business.. , When he took bold of me
business at Ballardvale be found that he could not go
to work and make files and make money the ma
shiner. as d the material then at handlron bad to
'be used for steti, and second-rate steel 'for first-class
steel. If saw at once that the company should manu
facture their own steel. New machines were invented
and put into the manufactory. He went into the works
a common workman, with his apron on, and set shim
perfecting and arranging Ow machinery. Now the
machinery was so perfect that it could turn out fifteen
tons of steel a day, and manufacture daily one thou
sand dozen of files. He knew of no other manufactory
, in the country that could tarn more than thirty dozen
files per day. The Englishman had been the great
manufacturer of files for years. The English had had
possession of abroadket for years. Now,the impression
baying gone that tea Whipple Company had
failed. or course the announcement was received with
the greatest satisfaction by those interested in foreign
trade. Though willing to admit that the affairs or the
poration were somewhat tangled, he had great
hopes of final success. An enormous sum had been
consumed in equ'pping the works: and now they were
nearly perfected,that expense would be lessened.
The President called upon Mr. FeSaenden, snperin
tendent of the works, to make some remarks upon the,
question of the mill's machinery. Mr. Fessenden
responded and corroborated, generally, the statements
which had been made relative to the value tattle ma
chinery for makieg files.
After' further remarks by Messrs. Gillespie, Cart
wright - and others, the meeting tufjourned for one
month,with thenndeistar ding that if the investigating
committee was ready to report before that time a spe
cial meeting Shall becalled.
We learn that a meeting of the creditors Is to be
called immediately to select a committee to confer
with the investigating committee.

[From the Cincinnati Gazette of Thuriday.l
We received the following particulars last evening of
a serious railroad accident which occurred near Con
nersville yesterday morning, on the Cincinnati and
Indianapblis Junction Ralroad, which resulted in the
entire destruction of the down passenger train. Oar
Informant states that the storm of Tuesday night was
very severe about liginnersville, blowing down several
houses and barns. and destroying trees and fences.
The wind also blew down ene of the stone piers of
the long bridge just east of Connersville, over White
water river, and otherwise weakened the structure.
The condition of the bridge, it seems, was not known,
no notice being given to the train from Indianapolis,
rndue at Connersville at early hour yesterday morn
ing, that there was an anger, and the train left Con-
•
nersville on time.
The headlight on th ocootive. It appears. was out
of order. and the env r could not see toe .condition
of the bridge, and ran on, when the locomotive wefit
through, turning a someraet. and the oaggage car and
two passenger cars were thrown on top and com
pletely demolished.
The engineer and brakeman,we learn,were severely
injured, and some of the passengers somewhat bruised,
but none dangerously. Trains will run as usual, and
until the bridge is repaired passengera andbaggage will
be transferred at the break
COLLEGE CONMER, IND., March 81.—To the Editors
of the Cincinnati Gazette.- A fearful tornado at Con
nersville last night blew down and unroofed several
houses, and carried away the east span of the railroad
bridge across the river east of the town. A freight en
gine and four cars, bound east, went down, leaving the
balance of the train on the bridge. The engineer and
fireman were badly injured, the. latter, it is feared,
fatally. .
The bridge will speedily be replaced. It. was one of
the best in the State. In the meantime trains will
make connection by easy transfer.-

Shots Fired from the American Side at
Niagara, &c.
TORONTO. March 2S-1,30 P. M.—The excitement has
quieted down here, though no relaxation is apparent
in the preparations for defence. -
Theta was almost a panic in Montreal th at night over
the report that nineteen thousand Fontana • were
rtoving on Isle AUX Both.
A volunteer from Brockville has been sent to Mon
treal for admitting himself a Fenian.
According to Michael Murphy. the supposed Cana
dian Read Centre, eighty five tnousand dollars of Fe
nian,bonds have been taken up in Canada.
. Though a week hew now passed since the alarm was
sounded, and nothing has transpired to Justify it, the
citizens of Oi taws are still so nervous that night pa
trols and countersigns_ are still in force. The lef
wing of the Canadian army on the St. Lawrence bor
, der still exhibits great activity, and fresh troops are
1
constantly arriving. Themilitary authorities threaten
;that if the Fenian attempt to cross at Ogdensburg.
they will flre on that city with the guns of Fort Wei
!Wigton, at Prescott, opposite.
Is. early a million feet of contract timber is awaiting
shipment at Ottawa, for the States.
Pitiocarr, C. W., March 21,1866.—Ttie failure of any
demonstration as yet upon the border has allayed, to
great extent, the apprehension which was felt regard
ing the movements of the dreaded Fenian. 'On this
opposition line this assurance thr e at en assisted by the
manifested to the ened invasion by
the citizens of Ogdensburg, with whom the Canadians
have been on Lerma of the greatest and moat
friendly intimacy. In no United States border town
or city Is this feeling of amnity towards the Canadians
evinced as strongly as at Ogdensburg, and It is to
be doubted if it exists at all in any other. Ogdensburg
has ever received the patronage lof Prescott and the
neighboring Canadian country in business; the people
on both sides of the river have inkruttuTied,and there
is generally a community of Interests which has not
failed in this crisis ,e direct a great deal of sympathy
to the Canadians. There are nbt wanting those, of
course, who regard thethreatened invasion with favor;
but here, unlike on the borders of Vermont and the
eastern part of northern New York, there is wanting
that animosity which the St.-Albans raid created.
The martial aspect of affairs here in Prescott Is one
Of the featuree which immediately strike the traveler
on arrival.. Soldiers are to be met with at every step;
sentries are stationed at various points In the town:the
patrol and relief ma be beard their ronads er
few hours, and the bug
le sounds on
the reveille and tai
too with a familiarity which recalls stirring scenes, to
many an Amencan ear. The tort near the town—Fort
Wellington—ls gaze, oned by a section ofartillery from
Ottawa, and Windmill Point, the scene of the filibus
tering expedition tff 1838,13 guarded by detachments of
infantry. There are some nine companies, is all,
stationed in the vicinity—all volunteers.
10 guard against any surreptitious approach of the
Pentane, an order has been adopted prombiting the ar
rival of any boat from the American shore between an
hour after sunset and daylight. During the dkvtime
every small boat must come to at the Custom House
wharf and undergo inspection. During the night there
is a chain of sentries with loaded muskets 'extended
slob g the bank of the river as a precaution against the
infringement ()film order ju.st mentioned. -
The apprehension is confined more particularly to
the humbler classes. The wealthier and more solid
citizens regard the talk of an invasion with more in
difft rence. When any cause of alarm is given, how
ever, as on Friday evening last, their fears get the
better of their reason for the time being, and they are
as timid as the former class.
It is a pretty well served fact in this vicinity, and
the assurance thereof comes from prominent United
States citizens in Ogdensburg, that there will be no
movement of the Fenian to this country, permitted
by the United States Government, Fears only are telt
for a suditen crossing not anticipated by the govern
ment. and agaitat which its previous secrecy has pre
eluded preparation. Those who reason over the' ob
jects of tl s. movement know that lithe could be gained
by the advent of the Pentane In this section, and the
result of this impression has removed much of the
puptilar apprehension and substituted therefor a
feeling of uneasiness Ihr the safety* of the
Ea* stern provinces. - . =Mainz -or . the St
Lawrence - in the face of the oppoaltion of
the Canadian volunteers and perhaps of the United
States authorities on the American shore would be a
serious matter. Besides, once here the Pentane would
obtain nothing of very great assistance to their remote
object, the liberation of trelatte. In New Brunswick,
however, and in Nom &Nate, whose contiguity to the
ocean and whose shipyards would render them a
value!) e point d'appuf for operations on behalf of the,
Green Isle, the - FenUtns would find material aid; whiles.
la
march to those sections would be overland, with
out the obstacle of a broad and well defended river.
Hence the feeling is that the Fentans really intend
going In that direction while menacing this portion of
the frontier.
Publicity bas been given to the report that there was
a seeming determination of the United States to en
force the neutrality laws, shown in the presence of a
revenue cutter in theaiver here. The vessel _referred
to is the Salmon P. Chase, which has been.patroLUng
this portion of the St. Lawrence +since November last
on the lookout to prevent src
It should not hem:Termed that the active re ensures
taken for defence and the unanimous sentiment of the
people here taken upon the: subject of invasion
are an indication of universal opposition to Fenian's=
throughout Canada West. *While all are harmonious
on the question of resisting flillbusters, Pentane or not.
the Irish heart is as warm here as elsewhere
for the cause of the old country. • The Canadian
rich are sympathizers and in many cases abettors of
the direct Fenian movement for Irish , independence.
[From the St. Cathartne's Journal, March
On raturday last several - shots were fired hum "old
Niagara" across the river. A !Omit) ball entered Fort
Niagara, and another the light-house. The oneenter
log the fort passed close to a „sentry, and the one
which enterer the lighthouse came very dose to the
wife of the keeper. The commandant of Fort Niagara,
Major A. B. esiin,sent a remonstrance to Major Pol
lard, and that gentleman instituted Inquiries to dis
cover the perpetrators of the outrage. The Bring was
finally traced to two individuals living on the dock.
Martin Morrison and Daniel McMullin, who were
tined by the Major for the offence. Tee only excuse
these worthies offered was that they mistook Fort
Niagara tor a cock, and therefore poured In their
broadsides. This Is not the first time the Niagara peo
ple havebeen called upon to suppress elm ear outrages.

Engagement Between the Allled Fleets
and Two Spanish Frigates.
(From to-day's N. Y. Herald.l
We have news of interest and Importance by the
latest arrival from Panama. The portion of the Spa
nish squadron which-had been for some time past at
sea looking for the ailed fleet—viz: the Villa de Mad
rid and Blanca—had been successf ul in finding—and to
their cost, too—the object of their search In the harbor
near Attend, Island of Chiloe. The Spanish ships
stood in close to shore In order to feel the depth of wa
ter, when they were opened upon by a very heavy
battery on shore, armed principally with guns recov
ered from the lost frigate .Amazonas, and one of them
was hulled seventeen times,whiletJaeother.the Blanes,
received one heavy shot below the water line, which
had to be plugged. The two frigates steamed as close in
as they dare and opened fire, although at long range, on
the Peruvian and Chileanships: but after 2 hours' work
and expending about seven hundred shot and shell.
they hauled off, finding that the shore batteries must
be Brat silenced or crippled before they would be able
to get inside at the ships there anchored. They waited
oft the port until the next daye hoping that the allied
squadron might be induced to come out, but aa they did
not, the two titian lab ships returned to Valparaiso. It
is reportedlthat the NIMMICiIi was to leave at once for
the: spot, In order to run the batteries, and finish the
work commenced, Our correspondent at Panama
gives sorne.detalls of the engagement, embracing both
Spanish and Clilleaujversions, but for fall particulars
we must wait patiently until the next arrival. There

about on a par with the idea of the Chileans when the
St. .151arra arrived in Valparaiso last: they thought
that as soon as her anchor was down, sails flirted and
the men down from aloft, the drum would beat to quar

It is sufficient to say that the revolution In Bolivia

against Spain, thus closing the only port, tlobija, that

of the officer commanding the attacking party.
After she was discharged she proceeded L. Cont.'s,

COLOMBIA.
A resolution was offered in Congress to Join the re
publics of South America by declaring war against
rpain, which was killed on the spot. War to Colom
bia with spalp, with an extensive Atlantic sea coast
on which is the port from which all her revenue is de
rived, would, in the opinion of Congress, be suicidal in
the extreme.
Peace and quiet reign supreme throughout the inte
rior. Not even a rumor of revolution can be heard
from any direction.
The following extract from the message of President
Mufille, on the relations existing with the United
buttes, will be found interesting and important:
Although the crime committed on the 14th of April,
1865,1 n Washlngton,snatched away from us the virtuous
Abraham Lincoln—a good friend and benevolent to
wards our people—the American government has con
tinued to treat us with great deference and sympathy.
The guarantee of sovereignty and neutrality which
they promised us in the treaty of 1848 in exchange for
the liberty to pass troops across the Isthmus, has, in
deed, offered great ditticulties, because not the
agents of that government In the ports of the isthmus
and on the Isthmus itself, possess that intejligence
and moralif y which the use of this concession implies.
grave faults have been committed by a soldier anti the
commander of a war vessel. anti also by military on
their ironed over the isthmus, for w a have not
the leastdoubt of it, the American gov nment will
give us L.ll satisfaction, adopting for the tura each
precautions as will leadto avoid their repeat on.
This treaty, which contains' the guaran of neu
trality and ownership of the isthmus, and the conces
sion of tree transit in levet of the American govern
mentonust expire in the year 1888, If one of the partiei
should notify the other of It twelve months before the
stipulated time. It would be expedient that yon dis
cuss already now the question, if it is convenient, not
to let this guarantee continue, together with the con
sequences which it may have at some time far or less
remote. •
