S MILLARD FILLMORE. Washington, December C, 1822 THE CAROLINA jVATCIIMAH. SalisbiirT Cf ; TliritSDAY EVEXWC, DKCEaBEtt 10.183. BURIED ALIVE. rThe VVheeiling tirnes, of last Saturday, relates the following melancholy burial : " An Irishman, who had died suddenly upon the railroad, about eighteen miles, below this city, was brought here for in terment in the Catholic burial ground, on Tuesday last. Upon taking the coffin oat of the wagon, Mr. Fitzsimmons, wholhap pened; to be present, complimented the cabinet maker for his skill in the manu facture of receptacles for the dead,! and then proceeded, without any ceremony, to lower the! body into the grave. After, this was done they Walked away, leaving the filling up to a subordinate,' who, after throwing in ja few shovels full of earth, was alarmecl by a singular noise, a8 of kicking and: struggling in the coffin, so that be ran away. Coming up with j 'Mr. Fitzsimmons, he told what he had heard, and both immediately returned, raised and openeid the coffin, and found thejman turned and bis person warm. The proba bility is thai if the coffin had been opined when the4 commotion was first beard, the jlj Rich" Affair in Philadelphia. Some time previous to the Presidential election, two young clerks in mercantile bouses in Market st.,f Philadelphia, entered into a contract, by which if General Scott lost, the whig yas to saw and split a half cord of hickory- wood in front of their boarding house in Arch street, and carry it into the room of the other ; and in the event of General iPierce's defeat the other was to do the same the forfeit being $20. The defeat of General Scott threw this j rather severe taslf upon the young whig; (and out of merciful considerations, pine jvyood was substituted for hickory, and the splitting wias dispensed with. On Wed nesday afternoon, the feat was performed according to the stipulations, in the pres ence of a large number of persons. The jypung whig entered upon the work with spirit, wearing, meanwhile, his-ordinary jstreet clothes, and a pair of kid gloves. Occasionally his friends in the boarding house, carried out to him some refresh ments upon; a silver salver, which served to heighten the interest and increase the merriment. Before the whole of the Mood was sawed, several hundred persons had collected, add upon the completion of the job, three hearty cheers were given. 1 Taste in Ladies1 Dresses. The following remarks from the London Quarterly Re view shows the writer to have a cultiva ted taste in Ladie's Costume, proving his competency as an arbiter in such matters. ! You see this lady turning a cold eye to jthe assurances of shopmen and the recom mendation of milliners. She cares not how original a pattern may be if it be ug ly!, or how ' recent a shape if it be awk ward. Whatever fashion dictates, she fol lows her own, and is never behind it. S(io wears very beautiful things which: people generally suppose to be brought frbm Paris, or at least made by a French milliner, but which as often are brought from the nearest town and made up by her own maid. Not that her costume is either rich or new on the contrary, she Wears many a cheap dress, but it is al ways good. (She deals in no gaudy con fusion of colors, nor does sbe affect a stu died sobriety j; but she either enlivens you wth a spirited contrast, or composes you with judicious harmony. Not a scrap of tinsel or trumpery appears upon her. Sbe puts no faith in velvet bands, or gilt but tons, or twisted cordings. She is quite aware, however, that the garnish is as important as the dress ; all her inner bor delrs and headings, are delicate and fresh ard should 'anything peep out which is not intended to be seen, it is quite as much asi that which is. After all, there is no great art either in her fashions or ma terial. The sepret simply consists in know-" injgthebree unities of her dress--her own station her own age, and her own points; arid no woman dresses well who does not A "ter this we, need say that whatsoever is attracted by the costume will be dis appoined by jthe wearer. She may not be handsome; or accomplished, but we v ill answer for her being even-tempered, Well formed, thoroughly sensible a com plete lady. j i j . 1 j We regret to say, that a serious affray took place in 6ur village on Monday night lajst, between j Mr- Wna.
