Thekk lias been a well dressed lua
riding over our parish for the last wee
on rather a fine-looking horse, who plea<
the moet abject poverty, and who has bet
soliciting alms from our community. 11
calls himself Squire James, and says 1
lives, when at home, in the parish of l.i'
ingston. Our attention was attracted t
a communication written from the Paris
of Livingston to the editor of tho Bato
Bongo Advocate, published in a late nun
her of that paper which gives a detaile
history of ttquire James. It states tin
ho has a respectable property in Livinj
ston, consisting of land, negroes horse
cattle, Ac, and is comfoitably off. TL
communication further states that he
in the habit of representing himself as
man in destitute circumstances, and tra
els around the country soliciting alms. 11
generally travels on horsback, visits tl
towns and plantations on the coast, ar
asks for roliof in any shape the generoi
donor may choose to extend a helpir
hand toono so very needy. He never r
fuses an old horse, or a barrel of refiu
sugar, or sour molasses. An old coat is
Godsend, and goes far toallcviato his di
tress. He, in short, represents himself i
one pining in poverty, abject and grinding
and an object worthy of profound con
misaration?extorting, wo have no doub
from those who are less able to besto
^ - alms than himself.
Such is the man who has been tli
recipient of our people's charity. Trul
the nineteenth century has been pregnai
with wonderful events. Not only lit
there been great advancements in the ar
nuu sciences, uui mo peculiar charactei
istics of the human mind have had
genial ntmosphero for their developemen
Squire James must certainly be laborin
under some mental hallncinatioti. Bi
we have been informed that he prcsen
his claims upon the charity of the worh
with considerable feeling and pathos; an
that, notwithstanding his general contov
would indicate one far above the gnawing
of want, still he seldom fails to extra*
from his victim a small moiety of Charit
to aid in satiating his rapacious cravin
after the goods of this world.?St Francis

The Late Deplorable Railroad Accidenl
Tint Manchester Daily Mirror, of Thun
day evening, contains a letter from llei
Mr. Fuller, of Lawrence, who was a pn^
scuger in the cars, from which wo quot
the following:
Two incidents among tho many tcrribl
ones, are especially present to my mem
ory. On the bank sat a mother, (Mn
Stokes, of this city,) clasping her little bo;
of some three or four years of age: he ha<
uv-cu rcscueu ironi me ruin wtiich liai
strewn the rock with splintered fragment*
and ber own person was considerably
burned by the fire, but she was sbeddinj
tears of gratitude over her rescued child
and rejoicing in his safety unmindful o
her own pain.
But a few steps from her I saw th
most appalling scene of all. Thero wa
another mother, whose agony passed be
yond any description. She could shed m
tears, but overwhelmed with grief, utteret
sueh affecting words as I never can forget
It was Mrs. Pierce, the lady of the l'res
ident elect; and near her, in that ruin o
shivered wood and iron, lay a nioro ter
ible ruin, her only son one minute befor<
so beautiful, so full of life and hope. Klu
was supported by her husband and Prof
Packard.
General Pierce was himself bruised ir
the back but not severely and the woundi
of the spirit far exceeded any bodily suffering,
yet, while deeply affected, ho show
ed all the self possession and nerve which
ouly characterizes great-hearted and noble
men, and which few would manifest un#
der similar circumstances, lie gave all
needful directions about tho recovery o
his little boy, still entangled in the wrocl
about him, and then afforded all thai
comfort and sympathy to his partner ir
sorrow which was appropriate to the time
She was conveyed to a house near by, anc
there she gave vent to the grief which rem
her heart, while he consoled and comforted.
I may not draw the veil from thai
picture. Sacred is the holy privacy o
sorrow, and the hearts of these who hav<
suffered can feel what my pen must de
scribe.
Soon we were able to convey tbo woun
ded and tho dead to tho nearest house
winen happened to be tliat connected will
the poor-farm in Andovcr, where ever^
possible kindness and attention were rcn
derod. Go with mo, Mr. Editor, to tha
house, and look with me a while on tha
scene of suffering and sorrow. In on<
room were Gen. I'ierce and his lady, ii
the opposite apartment lay the inorta
remains of their little boy?and oh! so sa<
a sight! The blow, by which he was in
stantly killed, struck his forehead, am
"Wli m> Viuivui aa to remove uppe
i?K*ou of the leaving a part of th
brain exposed. The face with the excep
tion of a bruise about the right eye, sti
remained uninjured, but bathed in bloot
Gen. Pierce and lady, meanwhile, retire
to the house of Mr, Aikin.
In the same room was a lady, Mi
Newell, of Hillsborough, considerabl
bruised ami her face cut. Ilcr little dang)
ter, twelve years of age, lay near, wit
her foot so badly injured that amputatin
Hg will be necessary. She bore her paii
W sweetly and patiently. In another root
ju Mr. Kittredge, of Pelman, lay with his le
broken, and a Mr. Child*, of llennike
sat bravely up, though with his faoe coi
ered with blcod. Others much bruise
.Jkad gone on in the train wliiuh returno
^br us from Lawrence. Kvory attentio
which oould possibly be paid to those ii
jured was given at this house, where moi
of the wounded were carried. The phj
tciaiiH wore prompt 10 Uieir scrvio?
aalm, kind, and, so far saonayotttof thepat
fession can judge, judicious.
After the head of the little boy he

where his parents werti. f shall never foi

was in the room of Mr. Aikin's house*
droned just as lie had been at the moment
'J1 of the calamity. The form which had
, ' left the house but little more than an hour
before, full of life and happiness, with a
|n heart lull of hope and bright aspirations,
w*u iMt'k iu muse who had parted
10 from liim?that heart now hushed and
v~ still?that form motionless, and the liml?s,
*y fast growing rigid under the icy touch of
h I death."
n The llostoli Trareler says:
J There i* a ditfcrauce of opinion among
those w ho were present, as to the cause of
1 this dreadful disaster. One of the pass5*
engers informs us that in his opinion it
8' was the breaking of u wheel, rather than
'.c axle, that led to the occurrence. The train,
18 which consisted of the locomotive, tender,
a ami ono passenger ear only, was under
very rapid headway; nad the coupling was
broken and the car thrown from the track
ia | so suddenly, that the passengers had
j scarcely a warning of the destruction that
,s | threatened them. The car was whirled
I from the embankment with great velocity,
j and wrenched in two apparently before it
40 struck the ground at the foot of the ctna
bankment, which was covered with sharp
and rough stones. In the fall it was
ls literally shattered into pieces.
There was a coal tire burning in a stove
1_ in the ear, and this aggravated the cireumstances
of the accident, several persons?
w one, mentioned above, scveraly?having
been burned by the scattered coals. The
10 escape of so many, with trilling or no in
jury, was almost miraculous. Mr. l'ierce
clasped his wife in his arms upon the inw
stant that the overthrow of the car was
seen to be inevitable, and called to his son,
r" who was near, and who was approaching
a him when the final catastrophe occurred.
u by which ho was cast into eternity. It is
8 not known how tho hul was killed, but
11 his head was shockingly mangled, and
his death must have been instantaneous.
rr Unfavorable Nature of the Season to
Health.
:t
y One of tho late numbers of the New
g York Herald, alluding to the peculiarities
j. of the present season, almost unprecedented
for its freshets, storms, versatilo and un
seasonable temperature, says:
The singular weather that we have had
has been productive of a great amount of
sickness, especially among the youngest
J" portion of the community. That scourge
of modern times, and which seems to have
j- taken up the terrors along ago laid down
e by the small pox at the command of
science, scarletina, has been, and is frightfully
raging in and about this city., In
e one small town, not ten miles from the
h city, over one hundred cases are mentiou'
ed, and eighty deaths, and probably the
i numbers are larger. In some families all
1 the children have been swept away, to the
^ number of three and four in some instan'?
ces. This disease appears to l>e the most
Y severe the nearer places arc to the sea;
? and in country towns, not above twenty
!? miles from here, not a case has occurred.
Whether this is a law of this peculiar
form of pestilence, is a point upon which ,
o we do not profess any ability to sneak.? I
9 Probably it is not, and the disease is enph
ricious. Besides this, we have colds in
5 all their infinite variety, and vast powers
1 of annoyance. Influenza prevails almost
- every where. Fevers are common as sin.
* The foundations of consumption, and othf
era of the grisly family of disease, are
" laid most abundantly. Many a ruined
5 constitution will date its fall from the "re>
markable winter" of 1852-3. When pco
pie talk of "fine weather," they ought to
recollect these things, and then they will
i not improbably come to the rational coni
elusion that warm weather in December
is as bad as snow would be in June. It
is fine only for doctors and sextons.
Sea Ialand Cotton.
. The first seed of the Sea Island long
staple Cotton was sent from the Bahamas
' to Georgia in 1780, and the first experi1
merits were made with it on the Sea Is'
lands, near the mouth of the Savannah
[ river. The plants did not bear the first
year, but, the winter proving mild, the rat
^ toons bore fruit the year following, and
thus became acclimated. The original
^ seed came from Persia. The successful
growth of this worldwide famous kind of
3 cotton is confined to a string of islands,
stretching from Georgetown, in South
Carolina, to St. Mary's riTer, in Georgia, a
distance of nearly two hundred miles, in?
eluding a belt of coast not over fifteen
1 miles wide. Its culture is now bein^ in1
troduced into Florida.
^ Jt-P" The Hartford Times lias a letter
? from Washington, which says:?"Brickn
makers here ate making fortunes; and
I why can they not, when bricks are selling,
j as now, at seven to nine dollars, and the
h demand increasing? It is estimated that
j '20,000,000 more will be required to finish
r the Capitol extension, and about 12,000,e
000 more for the Patent Office, besides a
government hospital, an asylum, private
|| residences, dec. Abundance of wood,
| timber and clay can still be obtained on
j the Eastern Branch near the city, and a
good opportunity is presented to those
who understand tho business.
