D c Rittobittgt Gayitt. Last Moments of Thaddeus 'Stevens. About nine o'clock two colored clergy -men, the Rev. Mr. Hall and the Rev. Mr. Reed, both of the Israel Methodist Church, arrived, and requested permission to see Mr. Stevens and pray with him. It is a curious coincidence one of them stood by the bedside of John Quincy Adams, and prayed with him in his last illness. Mr. Stevens was asked whether they shduldr.be admitted. He replied (and these were prob ably the last connected words that he utter , ed): "Certainly, certainly." They entered the room. He turned on his side and reach- ed his hand to one of them. A hymn was sung and a few prayers were offered ; after which they departed, at about 8 o'clock. At about 9 o'clock Dr. Young again called, and bad a brief interview with his patient. The M Doctor pronounced him dying, and so told • him. r. Stevens looked at hirn and nodded his head. but made no reply. Dr, Young informed the household that his patient would in all probability die be fore morning. Sisters Loretta and Gene vieve, of Providence Hospital, entered the room at about 10 o'clock., It was now evi dent that death was not far distant. Mr. Stevens became weaker and weaker. The Sisters of Charity knelt by the bed and.be gan to pray. Mr. Stevens reached his hand .to'one twin and she held it several min utes. After they had finished praying, Mr. Stevens took more ice, and small pieces were put in his mouth once or twice after that. - Thaddeus Stevens. Jr.. Simon. Ste vens, Mrs. 'Smith, the Sisters of Charity, 31r.,4, Scott Patterson, of the Interior De partment, and the servants of the house, were in the room at the time. The Sisters of Charity had learned through some chan nel thit Mr- Stevens had never been bap tised, and requested his permission to per form the ceremony. He said that he had no objections, :and 'one of the sister's took a glass of, water, and pouring it on his ,head, pronounced the words "I baptize thee, Thaddeus Stevens,in the name'of the Father, and Of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen." _ Mr. Stevens expired precisely at twelve o'clock, about ten minutes after his baptism. He opened his eyes once or twice, and then eloßd 'them for ever. The persons above mentioned were the only ones present - at the death-scene. The Sisters of Charity imme diately began to recite the prayers for the dead, which were soon finished. Hin death was so quiet that thoie in the room, especiaLy the women, 'could not believe that he' was really dead ; but it was so. His features remain natural, and his face *ears the same eahn; earnest expression which was stamped on it in life. The intelligende was speedily telegraphed all over the country.— Wash. Cor. Y. Tribune. Bursting of a Glacier. A correspondent of the London papers gives the following account of a smgular occurrence at Chamounix, Savoy, on July, 23: "At ten minutes to five a dark cloud oveishadowed the valley of Chtunounix, a peal of thunder - was heard, and then a con tinuous roar that awakened every soul in the village, caused every ,eye tb strain itself in the direction of the Aiguille Blaitiere. At this moment no sign could be seen of the cause of so much commotion. Presently a puff of smoke, as it so appeared on the crest of the mountain rhat supports the Clacier des Pelerins. raised the cry that the glacier hid burst, bringing with it part of the ma-I rain that had kept it within bounds. "The peasants of the valley were rushing to and fro, driving the cattle into safe qua* ters, and then all eyes were watching one of the most glorious and overwhelming sights the visitors to Chamonnix could de: sire to see. My pen is too weak to describe the commotion this mighty avalanche cre ated, every moment adding fnelto its coarse, tossing up clouds of spray; bringing with it pine trees, huge boulders, rude bridges, and deserted chalets i until it reached the pretty Casoade dtiDard, when the noise was most deafening. The falling masses here, filling the gully and gaining'speed at every exer tion, left the course which the stream, usually takes, and tearing down ping trees opened an immense track and overflowed the meadows and gardens of the Hotel Royal, destroying whole fields of barley and potatoes, and, after spending its fury for twenty minutes on meadow and peasant land, this muddy mass formed itself into a large lake, which will remain some time to be regarded by tourists as an event which is very rare in the valley of the Cha mounix.'7 El Safeide of a Brilliant Frenchman. • (Prom the New Orleans Picayune.] Much interest is being manifested among the old residents in regard to the recent sal cige of •Mr. A. Caussaur. For more than twenty years he his been a resident of New Orleans, and during the most of that period has occupied a prominent place in society. Lately he bad fallen into evil courses and great poverty, but maintained his footing in good society. He was the son of a Colonel of Cuirassiers in the armies of Napoleon 1., and was born in the Island of Martinique, during a mission ofhis father to that colony, but he was raised in Yrance, and received an education of the highest order. -He has always been recognized as a man of culture and daring the latter part of his life was cor respondent of the 'Courier des Etats Units, from this city. He was at one time tinga ged in the labor of making sugar, and in granulating was regarded as the most skill ful man in the State. He was subsequently employed in the French Consul's office at the time of the seizure of the $BOO,OOO by Gen. Butler, belonging to. the Citizen's Bank, but in consequence of some transac tions growing out of that event he has lost his estate, and the favor of his friends was withdrawn. He sank into poverty, but somehew contrived always to be elegantly. dressed. The immediate cause of his death was the refusal of bis landlord to extend him further credit. A brilliant man of the world, he now fills a pauper's grave. • OP BONNETS, a foreign fashion in re inarks:—"Straw hats are greatly n vogue. 801110 are surrounded by a black 'lace scarf, and trimmed with a tuft of flowers and a drooping garland.

A Vettei Prom Daidell_Wetistei:tollla Sem A correspondent of the Boston Travei/ei gives. extracts from a letter written by Daniel Webster to his son Edward, about the time. the latter commenced' his studies at Phillips' Exeter Academy, which school he himself at one time attended: WASHINGTON, June 23, 1834. MT DEAR B oN:—Fletcher wrote me from _Exeter the next day after your arrival, and informed me that you had been so fortunate as to be received at Col. Chadwick's, and was . commencing your studies. You are at a most important period of life, my dear son, soon growing up to be a young man, and a boy no longer, and I feel great anxie ty for your success. I beseech you to be attentive to all _your duties, and to fulfill every obligation with cheerfulness and Punctuality. Above all, remember your moral and religious concerns. Be constant at church and prayer and every appointment for worship. There can be no solid chime. ter and no true happiness which are not founded on a sense of religious duty. Avoid all evil coinpany, and every temptation, and consider that you have now left your father's house and- gone forth to improve your own character!, and prepare your mind for the part you are to actin life. - All that can be done for you by others will amount to nothing, unless you do much for yourself. Cherish all the good counsel which your dear mother used to give you, and let those of 'us who are yet 'alive have the pleasure of seeing you come forward as one who gives promise of virtue, usefulness and distinc tion. 'I fervently commend you to the blessings of our Heavenly father. Your affectionate lather, Dam. Wansma. EDWARD WEBSTER. Sherman and the, Mormons. Lieutenant General Sherman is reported as characterizing the Mormons as a set of religious. fanatics. He asserts that what they have accomplished in Utah, settling in the most wretched of deserts, on the shores of a salt lake, In the distant interior of a vast and almost trackless continent—and there, by the sheer forcd of will, industry, sagacity, temperance, admirable regulation and indomitable perseverence making a garden of the desert and fertile fields of the wilderness—could have been achieved by no other earthly motive power but religious fanaticism. Then, the fact that they were led to use this tremendous force in creating a region of fertility in the precise spot where the advancing course of. Christianity and civilization would need it, and is now about to benefit by it, he cannot help re garding as a direct act of Divine Provi- dence, bring His good out of man's evil do ings. This being granted, it seems to him the best thing to do with the Mormons is to treat them like other people—not encour aging their institutions by admitting Utah as a State, but governing their Territory and ignoring their peculiarities. Persecu tions always intensifies fanaticisms. Why should this be an exception? Let them alone; push on the Pacific Railroad; fill their Territory with active young Gentiles, and poligamy with die a natural death, while their civil theocracy will -be overwhelmed and outvoted by the swarming incomers. THE sheds built by the Pacific_ Railroad to protect their track from the deep snrS of the Sierra Nevada mountains - were crushed by the weight of snow that fell upon them last winter and it was ieported that some other method of protection would -have to be devised. This plan, however, has not be en abandoned. The company, it is stated, are now engaged in erecting sheds over the cuttings and exposed poirta. They are of heavy timber framework, with pointed gable roofs, and look as if they could withstand almost any pressure of snow. Nearly 40 miles of track .1411 have to be thus covered and the quantity of dm beirequired will be. enormous. Not less than 22 sawmills, most of them worked by steam, are run night and day, ,employing nearly 2000 men, and yet they do not work up to the needs of the company. In a few weeks 28 mills will be running. It is estl l mated that it will require no less than 800,- 000 feet of lumber to construct a mile - of sheds. So great is the demand that the forests on both sides of the track are being rapidly cut down. A " RESP.tRATOIIy•ADVEUTIfitNO 4ppa ti n tus for precipitate inhumations," or a co to notify the world that you are buried ve, has appeared in Paris. It is a coffin i ith a communicating tube and mouth 'piece, and a letter writer says if this inge nious invention comes into general use, the people who select the cemeteries as a place of resort, must not be surprised hereafter at hearing queer sounds from time to time pro ceeding from the earth around them. Imagine the surprised promenader exclaim ing to a guardian; ~ t.What I you allow people to play the trombone here ?' and the guar dian replying, "That's no tromWne. It's the old fellow of yesterday—down there— the seventh to the left—who demands change of lase 1" LEO' FAucnicn says, in a recent pamph let entitled "Sovereign Power:" "The President of the United States, even bound as his hands are by the Senate, has at his disposal three times as much as the King of Prussia or the Emperor of Austria, five times much as the King of Italy, and twice as much as the Emperor of the French. The Emperor of Russia has more alms at his disposal, but the patronage of the Presi dent of the United States is far more valu able. A MOIIMON missionary, charged with preaching immoral doctrines, has been ar -rested in Stettin, and will probably be sen tenced to six months' imprisonment and then sent out of the country, with the warn ing that, in case he should • return s much heavier punishment would be Inflicted on him. The North German governments are firmly determined to put down the Mormon emissaries infesting that part of the country. SPECIAL NOTICES .... ror - PnA.LoNls I . . L. ~, .
