A BEAUTIFUL ASD TOUCHING INCIDENT. YeSlcr
day. (Sabbath morning) at the ringing of the first
bells in this city the congregation of the Rev. Mr
Dans or Freewill Baptist met around the water
where the difTereal denominations usually bipiise.
The weather was quite cold it was snowing quite
fast the ice had been cut out and lay in large
cakes ; everything looked cold and forbidding. Af-
ter singinc and a shott but fen ent prayer hy the
pastor'for the Spirit of God lo rest on all present.''
lie rose from bis knees auJ led a oung man into
the water and immersed him. Next followed a
young lady. As they came towards the centre of
the pond amid the snow filling thick and fast
there came a beautiful dove hoiering over the con-
gregation and actually lit down on lbs ice and
walked around but a little distance from the admin-
istrator and the candidate. At the same moment
the minister remarked ''And the spirit rested on
him in the shape of a dove." It was one of the
most beautiful and touching incidents we ever wit-
nessed in the administration of a religious rite. In-
deed it teemed to call up to the minds of Christians
the lime when the adorable Redeemer cinic up onl
of Jordan and God set a seal to this sacred rite.

HEAR HUNT IN MINNESOTA.
On Friday of last week John Morgan of Wash-
ington county nine miles East of St. Paul was
driving a span of horses with a wagon another
person riding with him; and when near Judge
Cooper's farm they started up a large she-bear up-
on the prairie and pursued her with the team at
full chass. The bear reaching a fence pitched
over it for sa fety ; but found inside a company of
men at woikwitha threshing machine who im-
mediately lcipcd muses and gave fresh chase armed
with pitchforks. One of the horses which had of-
ten before dashed wolves upon the prairies and
trampled them down as many horses upon prai-
ries are trained to take delight in) overtook the
bear and struck her upon the back with the hoofs
of the fotc-fect knocking her oier upon her back.
In this position she commenced fighting tooth and
nail and ripped open a gash seicral inches long in
the belly of the horse. Another pursuer then came
up and speared her with a pitchfork- The bear. (
with natural instinct for hugging reached out her
ptus upon the handle of the fork and pulled for
lildy and thus actually pushed the tines into her
own viuls and died. Strange as this bear story j

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS. 1
'Tis home where'er the heart N
Where'er its loied ones dwell
In cities or in cottages
Thronged haunts or mossy dell.
The heart's a rover cicr.
And thus on waie and wild
The miiden with her Ioicr walks
The mother with her child.
'Tis bright where'er the heart is ;
Its fairy spell can bring
Fresh fountains to the wilderness
And to the desert-spring
There are green isles in each ocean
O'er which affection glides ;
And a haien on cich sunny shore
When loie's the star that guides.
"Tis free where'er the heart is ;
No chains nor dougeons dim
Mav check the minds aspiring
The spirit's pealm; hymn !
The heart gives life its beauty.
Its glory and its power
'Tis sunlight us rippliug stream
And soft den lo its tlowcr.

arc millions of men women and children in

give thousands or hundreds or ten; but they

"It is lo this multitude of modest and hum

considerable length anu wit n mucti lecliug
concluding hy a promise that if he returned
to New York and had a day to spare he
would spend it with them at 1 dinmany Hall.
The clergymen of New York and Brooklyn
of the scrcral Evangelical denominations
held a meeting on Wednesday and appointed
a committee to dralt an address to Kossuth.
The committee consists of Itev. Dr. Spencer

Kcv. Dr. GcisscuhaiuerItev. Dr. ldiox.Itev.

The men women and hoys in Geniu's hat
establishment have contributed gUJU.and the
clerks in the Mechanics' Bank in New York
$110' to the Hungarian fund.
Gov. Sladc has just imported a fresh
supplyofschool mistresses toChicago from
down East. The Chicago Detnoc-at says:
"That school-ma'am business is one of the
best things for the west that ever happen-
ed. It drains the East of its surplus fe-
male population and the very best por-
tion of it loo. It also furnishes the young
men with the very best of wives. And
no soonerare they married than thev send
home for their sisters cousins &c. " It is
often the case that one of these Yankee
school-mistresses is the means of settling
a whole township and thus of building a
school-house and filling it with scholars."
Heavy Damages ion. Libel. Daniel B.
Hunt a steamboat captain has recovered
$27501) damages for libel at St. Loiiis.from
John Simonds It appears the defendant had
charged the plaintiff with overloading his boat
and as chairman of the Board of Underwri-
ters had published a notice in the St. Louis

FEMALE INFLUENCE AND ENERGY
"I haic noticed" says Washington Ir
ving "thai u married man fulling into mis-
fortune id more npt to retrieve ins situation
in the world than a single one chiefly be-
cause his spirits arc soothed and relieved by
domestic endearments and self-respect kept
alive by finding; that although abroad he dnrlc-
ncss and humiliation yet there is still a little
world of love at home ol which he is a mon-
arch. Whereas a single man is npt to run lo
wnle and self-neglect to fnll to ruins like
some deserted mansion fur want of inhabi-
tants. I have often had occasion to mark the
fortitude with which women sustain the most
overwhelming reverse of fortune. Those dis-
asters which break down the spirit of man
ami prostrate him in the dust seem to cull
forth all the energies of Iho softer sex. and
give such intrepidity and elevation to their
character that at times it approaches to snh-
inmiiy. looming can uc more touching man

been all weakness and dependence and alive
to every trivial roughness while treading the
prosperous path of life suddenly rising in
mental force to he the comforter and suppor-
Iter ot lier husband under misfortunes abi
ding with unshrinking firmness the bitterest
1Iat3 of adversity. As the vine which has
long twined its graceful loliago about the oak
and has been lifted by it in sunshine will
when the hardy plant is rifted by the thunder-
bolt cling round it with its caressing tendrils
and bind up its shattered hrow; so too it is
beautifully ordained by Providence that wo-
man who is the ornament and dependent of
man in his happier hours should be his stay
and solace when smitten with dire and sud
den calamity winding herself into the rug
ged recesses ol his nature tenderly support-
ing his drooping head uud binding up the
broken heart."
Whatever may be thought of Austria
one cannot help liking the Austrian:. Al-
ways obliging and allablc towards stran-
gers they are hardly less graceful than
the French in public intercourse while
their manner has a heartiness which
French courtesy lacks. Even when per-
forming their tegular duties the various
Government officers invariably use some
polite phrase of entreaty as if for instance
the examination of your trunk was not an
annoyance to you but a great favor which
you bestow on them. Mr. Hrace can
vouch for the genteel manner in which
he-was handed nut of Hungary. And 1
have no doubt that Havnau is the 'mild-
ct mannered man' that ever ordered a
woman to be flogged. Even the common
people in their iiuaint almost uninfelligi-
' blu diulect pre.-erve the same character
istics.

Gist street near the proposed new City Park
in the presence of about thirty gentlemen
A pit about six by twelve feel had been dug
and filled wilh 500 gallons of Stockholm tar
a 1 cry inflammable substance. A few
wood shavings were scattered over its surface
and when the whole was completely envelop-
ed in flames making a very hot fire and
throwing ofFa dense column of smoke the
Annihilator was brought to hear upon it In
a minute and a half it was altogether cxtin
guished the gas and vapor issuing from the

instantly wheuover brought in contact with
them The experiment was regarded as pro
ving the utility of the Annihilator as an ex-
tinguisher of fire m the early stages ofits pro
gress. Mr. Phillips briefly addressed the
spectators stating that he had never propos-
ed to do away wilh the use of water by his
machine but to make the latter auxiliary to
the former. lie would have it in the posses-
sion of every family so that in caso of fire it

PROSPECTUS FOR
A FULL LENGTH ENGRAVED PORTRAIT
OF THE
HON. D A N I E L W EBST E R
The distinguished character and merits of Mr.
WrnsTEU as a man and a state-man place him in
such a light before the American people and the
whole civilized world as to make it lerv desirable
that a true and faithful likeness of his person should
be obtained and widely diffused.
Such a measure in the incsent peculiar exigen
cy of American affairs is due lo Mr. Whister for
the proud and triumphant po-ition which he nnwoc
copies before the world ; and it cannot f.ul if car-
ried out to exert an influence such as his hiends
and pohtcal admirers would mo-t earnestly desire.
Thongh several works of a similar nature now e.-
1sl.1t is believed that a 1 uihtul protrait of the gicit
Defender of our Constitution and one which shall
in the unanimous opinion ot the public do him jus-
tice is yet wanting.
It is proposed therefore to publish a new fill-

this express purpose by Messrs. ORMSI5EE &

their profession A euntract has also been made
with Messrs. ANDREWS & WAGSTA1T En-
gravers to c.eit their highest powers in the pro-
duction of a superb engraving of the portrait on

gentlemen are too well known to require any com-
ment. With these facilities for accomplishing die pro-
posed ohiect. the public may be assured that an en
