Dropping instantly upon . one knee. (a favorite position with him,) he brought his rifle up, and just as he level led his eye wit the barrel, a grape-shot from the enemy's battries, struck a tree immediately by his. side, and drove the splinters in his face, but with a coolness. and presence of mind which has ever characterized him, he never turned or low ered his rifle, but drawing a bee-line upon the mark, pulled the trigger, and the head and shoulders disappeared--'in . course. Coolly picking the splinters from his face and wrapping a fresh bullet, he remarked to a companion 'in arms "1 reckon that fellow saw sights and -sutfers reflections.'' then raming home the bullet, with a quiet smile of satisfaction on his countenance, again turned tO the enemy's works, to find another "head and shoulders."

This young ecclesiastic, when thie-. Arch- . ishop was at the seminary, used to rise every night. and write out either sermons or pieces of music. To study his condi tion the Archbishop betook himself several nights to the chamber of the youndg rrran, where lie made the following observations. The young man usedl to rise, to take paper and to write. Before he wrote music lie. would take a stiek and rule the lines with it. He wrote the notes, together with the words corresponding with them, with perfect correelness. Or when he had wrien too wide he altered them.. *The notes that were to be black he . filled in after he had completed the whole. A fter completing a sermon, he road it aloud from egining to end. If. an1y passage dig. pleased him he erased. it, and..wrote the amended passage correctly ovet thpe other; on one occasion he had to substituie .the word "adorable" for "divine,"' ,but he.did not omit to alter the preceding.,"ce" 'inio "ee," by adding the letter "t". ,with exact precision to- the word first written.

When his toom was entered, he was fontd in a chair, placed at a table. - A pistol was lying across his 1 lap, and on the table was an open- razor. On the table was also found a note,stating, in the form of a certificate, dated July 9th, I 1847, that his death 'was occasioned by i himself, and was brought about either by I pistol or razor.
