The powder, about thirty pounds in weight, is put into a close 'tin canister, tailed a torpedo; on one side of the tor pedo is fastened a box, containing ahom 20 yards of qii k match, the whole being protected by a stout piece of blanket or woollen doth carefully sewn around it. A dozen or more of these are kepi con stantly on hand, under i harae of the Mar- .t.i :.. .i i ' luc b"- u "uwe, vvnose duty il is in unug as many as may Ue needed to the scene of action, on the first alarm of fire.

A large portion of the town of Payetleville has been several times saved by the ue of the torpedo, and tio accident has as yet occurred A Texas Tavern A tavern has lately been opened on rather a diminutive scale near Houston, Texas, contrasting in a most sinking manner with ihe extensive manner in which in st things are conduct ed in that Republic. It seems, according to the Telegraph, that a gentleman riding along the road discovered an old soldie. by the way side, sitting very contentedly nndi'i- a blanket stretched hoi izutal! across the tops of four upright strikes. A candle box w as before him answering the purpose of a table, on which were placed a small jug, and the better half of a broken bottle. Not understanding the bje t ol all these preparations he stopped to en quire of the soldier what he was doing there "keeping tavern sir," wasihe readv answer, "will -you take something to drink?" ffTIl is staled, in a Northern paper, that the recent union of .Mr. Theodore Dwighl Weld, a celebrated Abolition ec Hirer, with Miss Aogeline , Emily Gnmke, formerly of South Carolina, and a daugh ter ol one of the most learned and hinh minded citizens id' that Slate, (who, wnfor innately for her, died before she was (a i r I noosed,) was celebrated neither by civil nor religious rites that neither priest nor magistrate was called upon to consecrate the nuptial tie; but that they were content to call on the bye-slanders lo witness that ihey took each other for husband and wife! Hov rapidly and certainly does one folly lead to another! Miss Grimke lately lefi a circle of warm admirers in the most pol ished society of Soulh Carolina. Going to the North, she became infected with Abolitionism, and although gified with genius of a high order, she socyi threw off the native modesty of her sex to declaim in public oo the enormities of slavery and she has now closed her maidenly career, by entering tip-m the duties, while she dis cards the most beautiful and solemn cere monies of the matrimonial connection! Henceforward, her career is downward; and if she escape obscurity,, w e fear her ce lebrity will be deeply painful to the friends of her youth a celebrity earned by throw ing off all moral and all religious restraint, as she seems to have discarded all feminine i If She s!laI1 "Rafter compel A.r Weld to relinquish his place al "bed unit !...., 1 . r w .a.u, .a o uertliat she my render v, piiiuuiuropy more conspicuous, by ta king some Cuffee in his place, it would nat surprise us for lo what length will not fanaticism lead its victims?

'The L.iu- isvitle J .in nal says : te nave received a communication irom J. I Ion (leu i', whom we lately noticed is having left his wife and children in L-x igloo, and gone to Maysville with a voting lady, who had been an assistant in his school. He stales, that the lady in Lexington who passed as his wife, is a Mrs King, whom he brount from England wnii Inm, anil to whom he was never mar L d; that in Lexington he became attach d in his assistant, whom he resolved to make his wife; that he has bul one child, vho is at school and well provided for; and that he believes Mrs K. is not in want Enclosed in the communication is a certi ti ate of Win Dty, Justice of the Peace in Hampton county, Ohio, that he, no ihe 27ih id Ma,, Solemnized, agreeable to law, the maniageol Juan IL nfl ur and Susan Francis Rogers. ' " 'The following paragraph tombing his earlier history, is Irom ihe New York Commercial, and agrees mainly with the foregoing statements ol the Journal : ".Mr lloulleur, il seems, is an English man, and his real name is Holland, under which name he formerly practised in Lon don as a teacher of languages on ihe Ham iltonian system. He married the daugh ter of an engraver in Loudon, but three or four yeais after Ins marriage, seduced and ran away with a Mrs. King, who was one of his pupils, and who is the woman known among us as Mrs. Honflcur. Mrs. Hoi land is now living in Loudon with her child. 'Thus it appears that the Philadelphia dam sel has not got a lawful husband, but also thiit Mr. Honflcur alias Holland is not lia ble to punishment for the bignmy, his mar riage having been solemnized in England. A 'domestic Tragedy. 'The Lakeville, Alabama, Express, of a late dale, contains a very singular and appalling narrative. 'The scene is laid in the western nan of Alabama The following is an extract from the Express: A young lady of great personal attrac tions, the daughter of a farmer in lhai neighborhood, had formed an acquain tance with a youth of wild dissolute hab its, and her parents; in consequence forbade him iheir house, and exerted themselves lo sver the connection, by providing "Miss Julia Maria" with a steady middle aged husband. The squire having performed i he ceremony, "the happy couple" setoff for their home on the borders of the great prairie, and for six months the lady appear ed perfectly reconciled lo her lot, and ex erted herself to love, honor, and obey her liege lord One morning, as the farmer was returning home with his rifle and dogs, he met his former rival, who accounted for his sudden appearance, by saying that he had just returned from New Orleans, w here he had made a rare speculation in Texas lands, and that it was his intention to em bark lo his new property, so soon as lie had completed some family arrangements. The unsuspicious husband invited his friend to pass a day or lvo with him, say ing, thai although he should be obliged to go to L.ikeville the next day, the other could amuse himself until his return by shooting the prairie hens, or fencing in a patch of corn, w.hichever he pleased. The other consented, and returned to the house with the hospitable farmer. The next day, the young man renewed Ids intimacy with his former sweetheart, and finally sue ceeded in exacting a promise that she would nexi morning, run away with him. The husband, in the meantime, had gone on a lour to the prairies, in search of game, and was not expected to return for several days. He had his misgivings, howevei; and returning home late al night, he was a 1838 horrified witness of his own dishonor. Without atternntinrr to disturb ilo m.iNr pair, he fired his house in three different places, me Haines creeping through the up per stories, and enciicling the roof of his once happy home. 'The wretched woman anu uer paramour, were aroused from their adulterous dreams by the flames, and ruh ed lo ihe windows to save themselves by leaping out, bul below stood the infuriated husband with his rifle, and the moment the casement was opened he tired with uner ring aim, and they both fell amid the burn ing ruins. Wild Boy of the H oods. -The follow ing account of a b iy found wild in the Stale of Indiana, is from the Canton Hil ) Herald: V ' We have seen in several papers an ac count of a boy apparently 13 or 14 years "Id, w ho was found in the woods in the vi ciniiy of the Caihilinot Prairies, in the State of Indiana. It is said the boy is now in ihe family of a Col. Clark Ciaiks son, of Bush Hill, a place not far from the spot where he was found. He is, hand somely formed, has fine limbs, very elastic in ins movements, stout, with clear, full and intelligent black eyes. He has been several months in Lie Col.'s family, during which time he has uttered no articulate sound, expressed no wish by any sign, though he evidently pays considerable at lentiou to things around him. He some times gives a piercing screech, which by us being always at a measured elevation, and after which be seems lo listen with care, afl'irds ground for the conclusion that ihe poor fellow has been accustomed to receive some sorl of answer from a source lo us unknown. We chooses the naked earth for his bed, and utterly re jet is all covering save a deer skin, which he wraps around his body. His food he takes in a raw state principally beef, poultry, potatoes and nuts. It is astonish ing with what voraciousness he consumes small birds. He will strip off its feathers and entrails, and devour il with a relish amounting to an ecstasy. He has thus (ar evinced a melancholy temperament, choos ing to be much alone, and makes for the woods whenener an opportunity is pre sented, but when found attempts no es cape, but passively returns. He manifests no attachment for any human being save for t servant giil of the family. Hy her rt quest be has occasionally eat a little corn bread, and sal down for a moment on a chair. Wheat bread he peremptorily re fuses. He has made comparatively no advancement towards civilization.

There will be al most a total eclipse of the sun on the 18th of September next in the United Stales. Il will be ihe last central eclipse of the sun visible in ihe United States, until that of May 2Gih, 1854; which will be also annu lar. The next total eclipse of the sun will be August 7ih, 1864. Distressing Death Mrs. Link, wife ol Adam Link of Jefferson county, (Va.) was killed on Tuesday by the cars on the rail road near Harpers Ferry. The Charleston Free Press says : It seems that Mrs. Link had never seen the operations of a Rail road, and had vi sited Harpers Ferry on the fatal day fur the express purpose of seeing the train. She had crossed the bridge w ith her hus band, and was standing on one of the Vol. XIVO. 25. tracks not in use at the moment (be loco motive approached. We understand one of the switches was changed in some way, and a part ol the train became disengaged, and run upon the track upon which xMrs. L. was standing. She was crushed be tween ihe cars, and died instantly. The event caused great horror to the spectators, and has awakened trreat sm- pathy. ftTTlie New York Annual conference "f tbe Methodist Episcopal Church, which Hosed its session in New York on the 30th May , suspended two of their members for (ak liter III an nlmlii Kin rnt)l'M linn of .'wvnnwij Ull I lillUII Ul ill Passeu' resolutions reprobating the "Zion's Watchman" on account of its schismatical and abolition character: for i - i .

Norfolk Herald. Indian Butcheries. The Southern Christian Advocate publishes the follow ing letter, giving a moving description of a massacre by the Florida Indians. The writer is superintendent of the Ala chua Mission in the Tallahassee District: Dear Br. Capers : I am miner!!
