to scatter death anj-iesturuttion .imoiig
a faiiiiiy, occurred on .Monday &Ig't, between
Sand b o'clock, at the residence of Mr. Cyrus
Swiihelm, on Wslnut, between Court and 9th
streets, through means cf a destructive and
dan-iable contrivance, laoie bold an I daring
th in th it of the calibrated Arrison machine.
The- particulars Are these: Ot the evening in
question, Mr. Swishuim and family, consisting
of five persons, were seated around the fire,
when a huge ball descended the chimney and
bouncing into the fire, rolled in a bright blaze
into ths middle of the floor. It was made of cot
ton saturated with turpentine, and, during its
brief contact with the fire, had become ignited.
Luckily a pail of" water was standing near, and
Mr. Swishclm, catching the burning ball in his
hand, instantly immersed it in the water, and
extinguished it. Upon opening the ball it was
found to be filled with gunpowder and slugs,
and fortunate indeed was it for Mr. Swisshelm
and his family that the water was near, as oth
erwise he says he should have hurled it into
the fire, in which case, in all probability, it
would have been our painful province to have
recorded another event as horrible in its de
tails as that which transpired at the Marine
Hospital. As soon as the character of the ma
chine was ascertained. Mr. Swisheim called in
thi assistance of officers Ringer and Limberg,
who made diligent search af ter the fiend, but.
unfortunately, so long a time had elapsed
since the ball was flung down the chimucy,
that he was enabled to escape. From the sus
picions imparted them by Mr. Swisheim, the
officers are under the impression that they can
yet ferret out the n.iscreant, and no means will
be left untried to bring to justice one who, in
so desperate a manner, could plot the destruc
tion of a whole family. Cin. Gazette, Jan. 21.
Tiik Birth axo History of "Sam." The
Rev. Mr. Brooke delivered alecture at George
town, D. C.,on the temporal Power of the Pope,
in reply to Father Bernard Maguire. At its
close, he said he did not know "Sam," but be
thought he knew his Imtory. 'Sam' was born
in the garden of Eden; when the world was del
uged, he rode out the flood with Noah in the
ark; he was present at the building of the tower
of Babel; be wandered with the children of Is
rael in tins wilderness ; he was with Miriam in
tbe inspired song and dance: he blew the loud
est rum's horn trumpet when the walls of Jer
ico fell; he clothed John the Baptist, and was
with him on the banks of the river; he held up
the chains of Paul when he reasoned of right
eousness and judgment to come before Agrip
pa. He had a hard time with the Popes and
the Inquisition, but was he who pointed the
young Luther to the dust-covered Bible on the
neglected shelves of the old monastery; he
brought that Bible with him across the ocean,
in the Mayflower; he laid the corner stone of
the first Protestant church in the colonies; and
it was he wh' so stirred up the old and the
vo'in-r. the rich and the poor, hiirh and low, in
the oppressed colonies, that even the niwi;:i
t.ii'i boys knew that 'Sam' was about. He in
troduced Patrick Henry to the nation to tiie
Virginia House of Burgesses, when he, with his
soul overflowing with the purest patriotism,
and his voice clothed with the power of thun
der, gave utterance to those immortal words,
Mil! echoing in oi;r ear? "GIVE ME LIB
ERTY"! OR GIVE ME DEATH ! !"
Ax Attempt to Shoot. An omnibu3 driver
named Michael Lenney, was shot by a man na
med Francis S. Jaquett. As far as we could
ascertain the facts, it appears that Jaquett, in
company with a young man named IJ.F. Butch
er, the f ormer of whom was much intoxic ited,
had a difficulty, but did not come to blows. The
parties continued to use viloent language, and
proceeded along the street, when they made
an attempt to g.;t into an omnibus, but the dri
ver, seeing that t!;ey were too drunk, went on
without allowing them to enter the coach.
Soon after this another coach came along.
wh;?n Januett drew from bis pocket apistol,and
deliberately fired at the driver the stot taking
effect in the cornner of hi3 left eve. Two ofii-
j cors, who had be:n watching the parties, im-
r-iostiateiy tuok them uito custody and convey
ed them to a Station House, when they found
upon th.f person of Jaquett a single barrelled
pistil, and a formi labl j looking bowie knife.
Jaquett was committed to await a trial, and
Butcher was held on a charge of a breach of the
peace by Aid. Henry, and toapprarasawitness.
The wounded man is not fatally irjured, but
may lose the sight of bis eye. Daily Sees.
Americanism is Mississippi. A meeting of
the citizens of Noxubee Co., Miss., was held
on the 0th tilt., ostensibly for the purpose of
expressing sentiments favorable to the course
of Hon. Stephen F. Adams in the United
States Senate, and to approve of that gentle
man's bill in relation to the naturalization
laws. A series cf resolutions were passsed,
among which were the following:
if.v.'rci, That we, citizens of NYiXubec
county, irrespective of old party divisions, do
hereby approve of and fully endorse tho course
of Mr. Adams in the United States Senate on
the Siilject of the naturalization laws.
Resotvel, That the great increase of foreign
population admonishes us that we should adopt
the language of the Father of our Country ,and
'put none but Americans on guard;' and, there
fore, we condemn the practice of filling our
foreign appointments with foreigners, and con
demn the policy that causes us to be repre
sented at Madrid by a Frenchman, at- Lisbon
by an Irishman, at Hague by a German Jew,
and At Naples bv an Englishman.
Tnr. Catholics of New Havex The Ro
man Catholic Bishop of Hartford wishes to
form a German Parish at New Haven, and for
that purpose has sent a Gyrman Catholic Priest
among those i-jople to set it agoing; whereup
on they have adopted the following resolutions,
by way of protest against the proceeding.
They do not look very prosperous for the
Right Reverend gentleman's pi eject :
Jhs.'lvel, That wc, Roman Catholics, earn
estly protest against such proceedings, and
declare to the Right Reverend Bishop that
we do not want a German Roman Catholic
Priest here in New Haven.
IlesohcJ, That we have suffered already in
our old fatherland too much from priestcraft
and kingcraft; and that we here, in our new
home, thank our Lord and God, in at least
thirty churches other than the Roman Catho
lic, that we are f ree from that yoke, and that
every one of us can worship his God accord
ing to his best belief and conscience.
A Yolitme is a Word. Tie following is
John Mitchcl's opinion on the Naturalizatian
question. This is enough to weigh down all the
rhodomontade of the foreign party press in this
country about the persuasion of the foreigner ;
"I will avow at oncemy opinion that the na
turalization laws of the United States require
change ; that, however needful they have been
for promoting population and introducing la
bor in times past, they are too liberal now; and
that nobody in the world would be entitled to
complain in tho least, if Congress should at
any session, limit within any bounds it ndebt
sect lit, the creation of cittzens hy .adoption.
The new law would aoon, become known ; and
then no foreigner coming here for the future
would run the risk of boing cheated. "

cific mail steamship Sonora arrived at Pan.
ma, ou hr last trip down, and after many of
Ler passengers had pone ashore, it was discov
ered that $27,000, in gold coin and bars, had
been stolen from the treasure-room. That
room was lined on the inside with sheet-iron,
except the ceiling, which was of oak,and about
three inches thick. Immediately over the
treasure-room was the nursery -room, which
was not occupied on the trip down. The rob
bery was effected by cutting down, from the
nursery-room, through the floor, a hole suffi
ciently large to admit the body of a man. The
hole was cut by boring augur-holes along in a
line, and cutting a communication from one
to another with a saw and chisel. The trea
sure abstracted was contained in a carpet-bag.
and in a small box. A great quantity of other
treasure, inclosed in large cases, was not dis
turbed. About 515,000 of the money stolen
was in coin, the remainder in bars of $1,000
and $2,000 each. So soon as the theft was
discovered, active investigations were institu
ted to discover the money and the thief. $13.
2)0 in coin were found secreted, in small
sums, from $20 to .$200 in a place, in the little
crevices about the knees of the vesel, and be
tween the interstices of the timbers in the low
er steerage. All efforts to discover the bars and
the remainder of the coin were unavailing. No
conclusive evidence was found against any one.
