The smallest River is recreshing,.• and

What an astonishing difference is ob

has denied- this blessing! The one is dry,
barren, desert ; the other flourishes like a

earth by frequent inundations and con- I

Surely then no one can be so inatten

the advantage of rivers, seeing that they
are the source of such numerous blessings.
ho
. only inconvenience of rivers is their
being sometimes subject to inundations,
which occasion very considerable dam

serves notice, and for the reason that a
circumstance of that kind could not take
place premeditatedly, and attended by so
much fortitude, unless there were extraor
dinary causes leading to the act, aside from
all considerations of recklessne s or in-'
sanity. A sailor—one of the crew of the
Government.steatncr Vixen,—was order
ed to join his vessel : but he refused, and
gave-as an excuse for hie conduct, that the
Captain of the vessel was a monster,whose
cruelties to his men were unexampled, and
that, rather than sail in his vessel, he would
lose his right arm. But . the service was
imperative; and, accordingly, [nit the one
alternative presented itself, either that he
should join the steamer, or maim himself
to render his service ineffective. He re-

the barracks walked to the woodpile, and'
with a single blow of an axe, severed his
hand from his arm, The sympathy for
the sailor—a martyr to a sense of wrong
and injury—became unbounded, and his
case was immediately laid before the Navy
Department, which will, I understand, in
stitute measures for an investigation into,
the charges against the Captain. The
sailor is said to be a sober man—inoffen
sive in his habits, and by no means addic
ted to practises de rervingof the punishment
he declares he has received. A question
of insanity was started last evening, but I
learn that the physicians of the city concur
with the army surgeon in pronouncing
him sane of mind. The commander of
the steamer Vixen, is Lieut. James H,

The alleged, discovery of Mr, H. M.
Paine, of Worcester, Massachusetts—by
which inflammable gas is produced from
water, at a mere nominal cost—is strong
ly doubted by some. The Boston Journal
speaking of it says:
This discovery is so remarkable.in its
character, and embraces such important
results, that we must be pardoned fordoubt
iog the entire correctness of the statement, I
until we receive more demonstrative proofs
than have yet been laid before the public.
It is true that the light has been exhibited,
laud is highly satisfactory, but the mode of
producing it has hitherto been studiously
concealed ; nor is it known, except from
the statement of the discoverer, that there
is no other agent in its production than
water. Nor is there anything in the pre.
vious history of the said Mr. 1-1. M. Paine
which would lead us, in those days ofhum
ibug and morbid thirst for notoriety, to
lull credence to his account of the astound
ing nature of this discovery, unsupported
by testimony from ,persons well qualified
to test its merits, and wbohave been allow

who had shone as a private theatrical in

committed suicide by taking arsenic, under
depression from the refusal of her father
to permit her to adopt the stage as a pro
fession. She said that life had no longer
charms for her. One of her requests was
characteristic alter devotion. It was, that
a copy of Shakspeare might be placed up.

a neighbor,.he had no superiors. Ho was
faithful to all the obligations of an account:
