Ucnting in the Glam Palace. A new
difficulty has arisen in lha glass palace for
the World's Fail. During a violent shower
many panes of glass were broken, and all
thu sparrows in Hyde Park and St. James'
Park availed themselves of the opportunity
to enter. It is estimated that there are at
least three hundred thousand of these birds
in the building, and much alarm is entertain
ed lest they should damage the goods and
annoy the visiters. To get rid of them is no
easy matter. To shoot them would be de

K7 We copy the following additional
particulars of the late catastrophe at Dan
ville, from the Democrat ol that place.
The damages lo the Church, we are glad
to learn, will not exceed six hundred dol
lars. Mrs. Georao Pensyl, a highly respectable
lady, was killed almost instantly, and expir
ed a few minutes afterwards in the arms of
the minister.
Mis Vasline, a sister of Mrs. Pensyl, was
badly injured her bonnet torn into shied,
and her clothes burnt uud torn into frag
ments. Miss Mary James, a domestic living
with Mr. John Bust, was wry badly in
jured, and is still lying in a ciitical situa
tion. Mrs. Ann Harris, Mrs. Fields, three
daughters of Mr. Jos. DW'hl, Mrs. Kemlrirk,
Miss Betsy Rush, John Lojjan uud a lame
number of other persons uie all more or
less badly burnt, although not seriously inju
led. A young man by the name of Jefferson,
Jones, who was just entering the door, was
struck by the fluid an I injured by tho fulling
limbers hH is still lying very low, although
there is a prospect of his recovery.
Other persons were stunned some bad
portions of their clothes torn nasunder. their
idioes and stockings burnt, and were other
wise more or less affected by the appalling
stroke.
The church is a new and beautiful edifice
only erected last year, about 80 feet in
heihth to the top of the steeple, and without
a lightning rod. The workmen have torn
the steeple down. The damage done to
the building it estimated at something like
8600.
!OV. JOHNSTON.
The Harrisburg Union very properly
overhauls the Bedford Gazette, for its per
sonal attacks on the character of Gov,
Johnston. The Gazette accuses the Gov
ernor with intemperance, and drinking in
the public bar rooms in Harrisburg. The
LVion, though politically opposed to Gov.
Johnston, denies the charge most emphati
cally. Such conduct is not only calculated
to degrade the character of the Tress, but
to injure the party whose principles the
editor professes to advocate. As a private
citizen Gov. Johnston is a gentleman of
character and high standing. As chief
magistrate of the Commonwealth, his tal
ents have commanded the confidence of
his own party, and the respect ol hit) oppo
nents. OCT" May. The first week of this
month, the weather has been cold, wet,
bleak and windy. May, in the beginning,
is no more reliable than April.
It" According to a pamphlet, there are
but two millionaires in the city of New
York, William B. Astor, who owns $2,-
600,300, and whose taxes amount to $29,-
579 2G, and Peter Lorrilard, whose pro
perty is set down at $1,169,900. The
amount set down to each only covers their
nronertY in the city, and is no measure of
what they possess elsewhere. Boston
boasts of eight or ten millionaires, some of
whom are worth six millions and more.
ITT" Judge King delivered a very able
and very elaborate opinion, on Saturday
last, in the case of the contested election
of District Attorney, for the city and
county of Philadelphia. The decision
was in favor of Wlliam B. Reed, the Whig
candidate, and against Mr. Horn R. Kneass,
the Democratic candidate, who since the
election, has been the incumbent of the
office.

The Newark Advertiser, of Monday, has
another letter from its Jacksonville (F.) cor

"A very great and unhealthy excitement

others aro encamped in tho vicinity, wailing

of those who "leave thoir country for their
country's good," because they can well be
spared, are "enrolled."
i lie plans seem to be wisely made in
many respects, and considerable wisdom is
reported to bo exhibited. Several distin
guishod names are mentioned of those who
have filled prominent situations in Ihe South

"The proposer will nbliaate himself to

The Lexington (Ky.) Cmmonwealih, of
April 29th, contains the following iuci-
lent :
On the 1st of March, 1M3, a small drawer
disappeared from the Secretary of Mr. Wm.
Conrad, of Williamstown, Grant county, Ky.
It contained money just received for a lot of
cattle, and valuable notes and papers. Il
was supposed to be stolen ; nod the thief
was charged upon Clary, a slave whom ho
had raised from infancy to womanhood.
Hei mns er and mistress thought she show
ed signs of guilt, and threatened her in or
der to extort a confession. She did confess
lhat she took it, and told, successfully, dif-
ferent places where it might be found ; but
these latter statements proved false. Hor
master then sent her to Lexington and sold
her.
Nothing was heard of the money or draw
er until the 2d of April, ult., 1851 more
than eight veins afterward when Mrs. Con
rad found the drawer wilh all its contents
entire behind some other drawers in the se
cretnry. where it had slipped by accident !
Mr. Conrad has published a statement of lbs
ubove facts, and says that he has no doubt
now lhat he himself in haste and by nccl
dent, thrust the drawer into the pluco where
it was found.
"My desire now first of all is, lo make
known, and as far as possible, restore to
Clary a hearty ncknowcldgment of her in
nocenco and acquittal from guilt chaiged in
Ihe above case : if living, I pray lhat she
may havo it read to her if not living, I feel
this is due her injured name. And next, 1
wish lo correct tho impression of her guilt,
and leave in its room acquittal in tho Ihe
minds of nil who have heard far and near of
the circumstance. Anil lastly, that the
perusal of this nariallve may havo the hap
py influence on all, and especially upon
masters, fathers and mother, that ihey may
not hastily charge crime or thicalen punish,
meut, and thereby save themselves from
the deep regret and grief I and my family
feed."
In a postscript, Mi. Conrad begs the favor
of the owner of Clary, or of any person who
may know her, lo address him a letter, and
inform him whether she is living, and where
' she may bo found.

very rich vein of copper oro lias been dis
covered about half a mile south of Pha'iiix

Poultry. No poultry should be kept
longer than three years. The Poland top
knots are considered the best for laying, and
the most hardy. They should be kept in
the winter where it is warm, have plenty
of food and water, a box of gravel and lime
to wallow in, and to peck from ; some fresh
meat when they cannot obtain insects ; the
scraps from tallow factories are good, and
you will have no lack of fresh eggs.
Dancer or Reposing is Wet Clothe.
If tho clothes w hich cover the body are
damp, the moisture which they contain will
be evaporated by the heal of the human bo
dy so fasl as to produce cold. Thus we see
the danger of sitting in wet cloihes. By
walking in them, however, until they can
be changed, we avoid the danger of taking
cold, for Ihe place of the heat carried off by
the moisture in evaporating, is amply sup
plied by the additional heat generated by
the exercise.

As the season is now at its height for this
delicious fish, Shad, I offer the following re
cipe for polling Shad :
First, After scaling, cut the head, draw
the entrails, and cut tho shad in four slices,
crosswise.
Second. Place it in stone jar, in the bot
tom of which place an onion, finely cut w ilh
allspice and cloves; then a layer of fish, then
cloves and spices, with plenty of ground
Cayenne and black pepper, and in the cen
tre another onion, finely sliced, put spices
in to lop layer, then pour in plenty of strong
vinegar, lie Ihe lop of the jar with four or
five thicknesses of newspaper, and send
to tho bake house lo be baked ten or twelve
hours, over a slow fire, which consumes all
the bones. This makes ono of the most de
licious relishes for the tea-table one could
wish for. Tho roo place on tho top, and
also use plenty of salt.
