Strange Incidents Attending a Death.
Under this head the Christian Register
relates the folloWing teMarkable incident.
NN , itnpreper to state ihai
the individUal referred to is the late Mr.
Greigg, who was lost at Gloucester, Friday,
August. 16th. 1850, by the capsizing of a
boat in a squall.. , 'ft was at Gloticester, also,
on the day previous to this casualty, that
his adventure with the robin occurred ; and
it was at Brighton, in our neighborhood,
that his family met with a similar adventure.

The (oilotring is a statement of facts as
they oceurred—us. simple and short as we
can melte them. It would he easy to give
wide play to sentiment anti fancy, in con
nection with so striking and unusual an oc
curette. Superstition might attach in it
irrational fears, or hopes as groundless. We
confess we hardly know what to do with
events like those ourselves—breakirur
as they do, upon the.settled order of our
experience, and startling us with some new
CReption to the common course of our ob-
Servatlthrs. They evidently belong to no
system of distinct and intelligible cmnnuni
tatiOti the otkr *odd - to this. It-is
not easy to imagine a satisfactory plan of
spiritual disclosures to which they would
be harmoniously adjusted. In that sense
they teach nothing, and yet to us they rip-
Pear
tional its they dearly are, and though we
canner trace the first step Mwards interpre ,
ting them—they appear capable of Fearing
us more pure, more reverential, and more
believing than they find us. We rejoice in
a tenlion which does not exchile from its
subordinate' confirmations the vagnst and
most: iinintelligible mySteries, nor forbid
even creatures less than hunian to be hum
ble and damb ‘vitnesses to its spiritual pro-
Mises.
A gentleman, with some friends, was late
ly rambling over the rocks, near the water,
in' one of our sea-shore towns. His atten
tion was presently attracted by a robin, full
pewn, and appart ntl) . quite unhurt, run,
'ling, in his path, flitting abotut bit feet, and
contrary to the proverbially shy Instinct of
that bird, keeping very near him. Ile took
it up in his hiend, fondh.id it, patted its fea
ther's, and, after shouing it to the party and
remarking on its singolitr tameness, tossed
it into the next day this gentle-

and chases of the squatters' war, say that

They dispute the validity of Captain Stri

Stater's Spanish grant is said to be very
vague, leaving room for much litigation.

The United States Mint,
This elegant establishment, so Well Wor
thy the notice and attention of every person
In Philadelphia, is thus described by a cor
respondent. of the Pennsylvanian :
The Mint is a handsome white stuccoed
building, with a plain but not inelegant por
tico. The visitor, on entering the vestibule,
and asking permission to see the interior, is
requested to record his name in a book kept
for the purpose. Ile is then conducted,
first to a room in the rear, Where the Cali
fornia dust is melted. The appearance of
this room is ns gloomy and dingy as that of
an ordinary iron foundry. In the next two
rooms, the silver and gold is cast in ingots.
Passing from thence te the other side of the
building, we saw a man engaged in exami
ning atuLyirtintr a great number of golden
a mach
ingots of'which was nearly as large
as a common four poundsash-weight, and
very similar in shape. Thi: was a rich
spectacle. The precious, metals, after be
ing moulded in this form, are rolled out in
bars or , auitable thickness, and. from these
bars the circular pieces for the coinage are
cut by a rapid process. The operation of
stamping the money is the most interesting
of all. Like almost every other part of the
work, it is done by steam power and machi
nery, admirably adapted to the purpose.
The stamping process is done. by : a Hess,
similar in its construction ton printing press
—wor ;Mg.wtllrf --- '6elbow" of great strength.
the force of the compression being_estimated
nt 200 tons. The impression is given to
both sides of the coin at once. The.circti
lar pieces of plain metal are placed in a tube,
which conducts them to the point where the
impression is given. viz: between the two
dies, one of ivhich is stationary under the
piece and the other descends with the 010-
lion of the machinery, and stamps the top
of the coin. We saw $2O gold pieces
stamped, as we should judge, at the rate of
forty in a minute. The next and final oper
ation, is the - "milling," which is the orna
menting of the edges of the coin. The
steam engine which supplies the power for
these various operations is of the most per
(vet finish. a real bijou, polished like watch
work in every part, ;111(1 operating witle,ut
the least perceptible noise.
Protection of Travellers on Steamers.
Th . ere is a bill now pending. before Con
gress for the better security of the lives of
passengers on boats or vessels propelled in
whole or in pall by steam, which seems l
calculated to elfi.ctively protect the immense
amount of property, and the great number
of lives constantly exposed to destruction
upon steam vessels, and we think few will
deny that there is an'imperative duty res
ting upon Congress in reference to this mat
ter. The bill provides; for the rigid inspec
tion of the steamer; requires hand and sh am
pumps, with sufficient hose, life-boats, life
preservers, and• buckets; prohibits curtains
of combustible materials ; requires that the'
hullers shall be insulated by a "continuous
sheet of water at least two inches in thick
noss-;" requires frequent tests of die capa
city of the boilers. It provides that the en
gineer, captain, or owner. who shall allow a
.rreater pressure than that fixed by the in
spectdr,,b,ill be deemed guilty of manslatigh
ter, fur any loss of life by accident growim ,
out of the use of such excess of steam, and
subjects the inspector ton line of three him
tired dollars, in case of a loss of life. It also
fixes the same proportion between passel!.
I rers and tonnage that has been heretofore
established in merchant vessels. We hare
no doubt that the passage of this act will
greatly promote the safety of the steam na
vigation, imd give much greater confidence
to the traveling public.
