A Pstraut. DISCOVERY.—In Frankfort on the
banks of the - Penobscot, in Maine, a gentleman lost
his wife by death. Three days after her interment
he bad solve business with a physician of that town.
Calling at his house, be was informed that the doctor
had gone out, but would soon return. He concluded
to wait, and us pass the time more agreeably, as he
thought, went into the young physician's studio, and
there he found a student with scalpel in hand, in the
act of dissecting a dead body. He started back at
first view, as people generally do when coming into
the presence of the dead. Recovering from his sur
prise, he stepped towards the corpse which the stu
'dent was cutting, and, horrors, found the dead body
to be that of his wife, buried three days before. His
feelings may be imagined, but cannot be described.—
The husband immediately took legal measures against
both student and doctor. They were examined and
bound over to answer.
SEDUCTION AND SCICIDE.—t. New York, on- '
Wednesday, the coroner was called to hold an inquest '
on the body of Euphemia Stokes, a native of Scotland, I '
aged thirty-six years. It appears from the testimony
of a Mrs Crook, in whose house the deceased resided
previous to her death, that she was the mother of an
infant about three months old, although she had never
been married. The father of the child lives in the
city, and, as an examinant states, is a married man;
this was unknown to the deceased until a ehcrt time
since. From the time she ascertained that her de
stroyer had a wife and family, slit!, expressed a deter
mination to commit suicide, saying that she could not
bear the disgrace of her present condition, and was
determined not to give cause for discord in a peace
;Cul family. She would not pain the innocent wife of,
him who had proved her ruin, by making public her
wrongs. She, therefore, with a wonderfully mistaken
philosophy, chose rather to throw herself, unbidden
into the presence of her Maker, than to encounter the
finger oircorn, which she foresaw a censorious world
would &pint at her.

Two intimate friends had a "fuss" about twenty

./ACKSOR . II BIRTH. 31T.—On the 22d of March,
a number Apemen, met at Coleman's Hotel, in Wash
ington, D: C., to celebrate the day of Jackson's birth•
Gen.Molitersorto sad Major Davazac, companions
in arms of the Old Hero, were present. Being called
out, Major D. spoke as follows:
"There are craven hearts, I have been told, that
would have refused the boon of an empire tendered
to this great republic to complete its giant frontiers,
lest the accepting of it should lead to war: a war,
they said to be dreaded by a nation having no army,
no leader to match the commanders of European na
tions. No leader ! They forget, ungrateful men, that
Jackson still lives. Ab! if Marshal Saxe, borne in a
litter, could gain Fontenoy, on what field of battle
could Americans be conquered, if borne in the arms of
freemen, Jackson should breathe into all hearts the au
spicious contagion of his undying energies? No army !
Even if the hero was dead, go to the Hermitage, ye
I men of little faith! Go ! ask for that old cocked hat;
it is there; take it; raise it on the top of a hickory
pole! One hundred thousand American horsemen, ral
lying round
,that national standard, will tread down
Europe's or Mexico's mercenaries like the grass of
the Texan prairies."
"What reason have we to fear a third sear—we, the
conquerors of two wars? In 1814 an army of 15,000
veteran soldiers landed on the most vulnerable point
of the republic. They came flushed with the hopes of
glory and conquest. Conquest. indeed! The vain
boasters they could net conquer a grave for their slain.
They asked their sepulture as a boon—as a boon it
was granted by the victorious Jackson.
"A word now, ere we real, about that old sword.—
It is in the keeping of one who will never allow a
stain to attach to it. This is as it should be. The
Greeks did not adjudge the arms of Achilles to the
brutal strength and valor of Ajax. They bestowed
them, as the merited reward of Ulysses, wise in coun
cil, daring in action. Let the drum but beat to arms,
and, leaping from the scabbard, the warriors of Ameri
ca will see the well-tried blade again gleamlike a me
teor in the from of victorious battle.
"And now, gentlemen, I offer this—a sentimentl—
a feeling ? No ! my knowledge of the present, my
oracles of the future:
"Jackson—Alive, loved, venerated by the patriot,
the grateful, the brave; dead, immortal in the pages
of our glorious annals."
Steam Navigation.—A monument has been erec
ted in Ireland to the memory of the estimable Captain
Roberts, commander of the English steamship Sirius,
on her first voyage to America, and subsequently of
the ill-fated President, in which he was lost. The in
scription on the monoment errlneously claims for Capt
R the honor of "being the first officer under whose
command a steam vessel ever crossed the Atlantic a
cean."
The National Intelligencer notices the error of this
inscription. It is to the bold and skilful navigotor,
Copt Moses Rogers, a native of New London, Connec-
ticut. that the high honor of Commanding that ever
crossed the Atlantic ocean rightfully belongs. His voy
age in the steam-ship Savannah, in the year 1819, first
from New York to Savannah. thence to Liverpool,
thenceto Copenhagen, Stockholm, and St Petersburg,
thence back toSavannah, and from that place to Wash
ington, is a fact as well known to the American public
as any other occurance which happened a quarter of a
century ago. -
The Intelligencer says: .
"We have now before us the fog-book of the Sa
vannah, from her departure from New York on the
28th March, 1819, to her arrival at Washington on
the 15th December following, and, containing as it
does the original and authentic journal of the second
most important voyage in the world, we look upon it
as worthy to be placed at the side of that of Colum
bus. This valuable relique is the property of Capt.
Rogers' descendants residing in Washington, and

Gxtvaxic Ltunf.—rr fes-or Locke,of Cincinnati,
has published &letter of interest regarding the galvan- '
is light. He makes no denial of the discovery, but
disclaims all endorsement of its value, and enters into
a scientific expose to show that for practical purposes
all the known means of producing such a resplendent
agent are impracticable, owing to their prodigious
expenses. A galvanic light, producing at a distance ;
of 200 feet a light equal to that of the sun, would
require 1,440.000 batteries, which, at $5O each, would
coast $72,000,000.
By the same calculation as above, it appears that,
with the distance -extended to a mile, more than a
thousand millions of batteries would be required, (ex
act number, one thousand and three millions six hun
dred and thirty-two thousand four hundred,) and that
the first cost would be no mono than fifty thousand mil
lion of dollars.
Annual interest of the above, at six percent., more
than three thousand millions.
Daily interest, eight millions two hundred and forty
nine thousand.
Hourly interest, three hundred and forty-three thou

and twenty-four dollars.
Interest per second, ninety-five dollars and forty

FOR THE POST
GEN SIMON CAMERON.
The "Philadelphia Spirit of the Times," or the 3d
ins' contains seven columns of extracts from numer
ous democratic papersin Pennsylvania, approving and
commending the election of Gen S C•MEROII, to the
Senate of the United States.
The following are among the democratic Journals
from which the commendatory articles are taken.—
They will show that, so far us the "press" may be ta
ken as authority, Gen. Cameron's election is generally
approved, and he has the respect and confidence of the
democratic party. This favorable expression of pub
lic opinion is given by the Sunbury American, Danville
Intelligencer, Lycoming Gazette, Monroe Democrat,
Pottsville Intelligencer, Wilksbarre Democrat, Easton
Sentinel, Union Times, Harrisburgh Union, Star of
the North, Western Star, Harrisburgh Argue, York
Democratic Press, Doylestown Democrat, Lewisburg
Chronicle, Bradford Reporter, Columbia Eequirer,
Bloomsburg Democrat, Northern Democrat, Lehigh
Bulletin, Wyoming Patriot, Reading Democrat, Morn
ing Post, American Sentinel, Union Times, &c , &c.
These, with sundry other democratic papers, have
come out in support of the election of Mr. Cameron
as United States Senator. Who can doubt hut they
have done right. Surely it is the policy of the press
and the party to sustain instead of denouncing him !
Let us keep and strengthen our friends, and fight our
enemies. TAFtIFF.
Accident on a Rail Road.—The Boston Tran
script states that on Tuesday morning. as the cars from
Stonington were coming towards Providence, when
near Wickfurd, going nearly at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, the axlettee of one of the deck cars
broke, nnd the car was nearly destroyed—the next
being also a deck car, was thrown entirely off the
track, as were the forward wheels of one of the long
passenger cars. Most miraculously no person was
seriously injured, although there wete nearly 250 per
! sons in the cars. Had the accident occurred fury
i ther on the road when passing through a deep rocky
cut, the loss of lives would undoubtedly have been
great. By the judicious management of the conduc
tor, Mr L Tucker, with the assistance of the engi
neers and a part of the passengers, the cars were pia- -
; ced upon the track after a delay of only about an hour
and a half.
A good Dog to "Fetch."—The Quarterly Review
relates the following amusing anecdote, illustrative
of the extraordinary instinct of the dog:
"Some dogs possesses a singular knack of hunting
out any thing that has recently been in the possession
of their masters. There is one ludicrous anecdote of
this faculty, which we fear is too good to be true. A
gentleman made a bet that a dog would identify a franc
that he had thrown down upon the Boulevards, in
Paris. Before the deg had discovered the money a
passenger had picked it up. Presently the dog
caught the scent, and followed the stranger to his ho
tel, remained with all day, and attended him t.ct bed,
to the great delight of his newly constituted master,
wbowas extremely flattered by the sodden attachment.
But the moment the gentleman pulled off his small
clothes, in the pocket of which he had the franc, the
dog barked at the door, as if desirous to get out. The
door was opened, the dog caught up the breeches,
and rushed away to his rightful master. Shortly after
wards arrived, all deshabille, the owner of the breech
es, trembling for a purse of gold that lay in the same
pocket with the important franc."

SOFT AND HARD.
These teo antithetical words, besides their ordi
nary meaning, have, in Missouri, a political significa
tion. In that State the democratic party are divided
into "hard," and "softs." The former advocate en
exclusively metallic currency: the latter are in favor of
a State Bank. Mentally and physically, no doubt,
there are many soft among the "herds," and many
hards among the "softs."
Yesterday a young six-footer from Missouri was
strolling carelessly along the Levee, whistling, 'Jenny,
get your hoe-cake done,' looking at the sights that
passed in panoramic view, as it were,- before him, I
though not taking of anything a very minute view, ex

black hair, who passed along, and et whom he laugh
ed outright, ejaculating, "Well. I swar', if I didn't
take that 'err critter when I saw him first to be a bar
in breeches!"
He had not gone far, flinging out his legs as he
would the oars of a flat-boat, when he was accosted
by one of those fellows who go about seeking for green
ones to fleece. This fellow, looking very mysteriors,
put his hand inside the breast of his coat and pulled
out what seemed to be a flashy, emerald, double breast
pin, set in gold. He motioned the Missourian te him
with a kind of confidential. stage gesture, and asked I I

that—he would get the greatest kind of a bargain of
It.
The materials of the pin, or pins, we need not tell
our readers, instead of being emerald and gold, were
stained glass and lacquered brass. This fact the
Missourian knew at a elance, though he affected to be
quite unconscious of it. He went on to bargain for
it, till the sharper consented to give it for five dollars,

Combatbetween a Monkey and. Cobra.—The fol-
Wanted,
lowing curious account of a combat between a monkey
and a cobra da carpella was related to me by an old A MATRON for the Pittsburgh and Allegheny
friend in Bengal, who heard it from a gentleman who' Orphan Asylum. A middle aged lady would be

continual action and alarm fur nearly two hours. lap 7
At length the cobra, apparently tired out, lay stretch
ed on the ground The monkey now walked leisurely
before it, watching its motions all the time with. the
utmost vigilance, and gradually lessening the distance
between them, till he arrived within reach of a single
bound, when, springing on his enemy, berme he had
time to rear his head, grasped him firmly by the neck.
The snake instantly enveloped him in its folds, but the
monkey retaining its hold, seized a brickbat, (a part
of the ruins of an old pagoda at the root of the tree,)
and cooly set himself to work to rub it against the
head of the snake. This operation was continued
with the most determined perseverance, till he had ut
terly destroyed all vestige or the head, reducing it to
a confused mass, when, disengaging himself from the
now inert folds, he threw it from him, and sprang up
to his wonted roosting place in the tree.
After this, it can scarcely be questioned, that the
monkey was not petfectly aware of the dangerous
character of the snake, and also knew well the seat of
formidable power which the enemy possessed, and
could in an instant put forth his destruction. It also
appears to prove that, the large animate; unlike the
smaller ones, and small birds, are incapable of being
acted upon by the power of fascination.
