A yoong man in Vermont was mach addicted to reading in bed by the light of a kerosene lamp, and persisted in the habit, n . ?withstanding the advice of his friends and the warnings of the terrible accidenta whioh occur almost dally. On retiring one evening rcoontly, it appears that he set the lamp too near the edge of the bed. As he did not come down to breakfast next morning, his mother became anxious, and rapped on his chamber door. Receiving no answer, sho entered the room, when her worst fears were realized. Duriog the night, the lamp had tipped over upon the bed and completely ruined a patch-work quilt made by ber when only eleven years old. The only article on the bed unharmed was her drowsy soo. LENT IN NEW YOEE IS THE Ono TIMS LENT NO MORE.-For years it has been supposed that (he great world of fashion buried itself at this season in seclusion, and spent its time arrayed in sackcloth of the most approved pattern, and with the latest style of ashes on its head. Opera managers have hitherto hesitated to present their worldly wares to people thus piously engaged. Mr. Strakosch, howevor, departing from their rule, throws open the doors of the Aoademy of Music, and, with Nilsson as the at? traction, the spacious building is prompt? ly lilied by as fashionable and brilliant an audience as ever assembled within its melody-bauuted walls.

He was a con? servative, and bad held tho various offices of Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, Treasurer of the Navy, vice President of the Board of Trade, Post? master-General aud President of the Council. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-Mr. Joshua Friar, an old and respected citizen of Coffee County, Ga., sixty-two years of age, met his death about ten days since in a most remarkable manner. He was smoothiug a stick with a drawing-knife, when the catch of the blade slipped from the stick and its keon edge was pulled with Buch forco by his own hands against his person, that his abdomen was cut opeu aoross thc middle, sever? ing his bowols and causing death in thirty-six hours. "lu the Island of Java the deficiency in tho coffee crop will this year be 23, 000 to DB. The Brazil crop will fall short uearly 70,000 tons; the Ceylon crop 10,000 tous. It is thus estimated that the coffee crop of the world will fall short of last year fully 100,000 tons. Bo says a Northern journal, supposed to bo in the interest of the coffee merchants. It is very singular that this great deli? cien cy was not found out until tho House repealed the tariffand it became impor? tant to hold up prices. John Mears, the late Duke of Welling? ton's favorite groom, is dead. He was ia the service of the Duke nearly forty years, and his portrait is preserved in the well kuowu pioture of "Tho Last Return from Duty," where he is repre? sented riding immediately behind his master.

Tho walls are filled with gun-powder in suoh a mau ncr that the blows of a sledge or tho cut? ting of a chisel, iu the attempt to rob tho safe, will iguito tho powder, blow off the outer crust, annihilate tho bur? glar, nnd K avo tho contents of tho safe uuinjured. The Chat los ton Courier says: Ou Tues? day oue of our most highly respected citizens celebrated his golden wedding. He is now eeventy-two years old, aud thu celebration took placo in tho very dwelling (in which ho now resides) where his wife was born, christened, and to him married, and where Bho reared thir? teen do roted aud respectful children. What a picture to reflect upon. Our colored fellow-citizens of the Rad? ical peruiiu8ion are libing up in their might and demanding that tho Philadel? phia Convention shall nominate ono of their number for tho Vice-Presidency. Wo know several white men who would bo williug to go on tho ticket with Grant, but wc should have had a better opinion of tho hotter class of negroes. On Wednesday last there arrived in Pittsburg 839,000 worth of the diamonds originally belonging to the Empress Eu genie, of France. Ouo comb in pearl, and studded with largo diamonds, the purchaser sold in New York for $11,000, un advance of $2,000 in gold over what ho paid for tho glittering bauble in Lon? don. While a church trial was progressing ut Independence, Kansas, tho purtles thereto, George Webb and Jacob Ade, invoked tho revolver of tho flesh rather than the sword of tho spirit. Webb wai killed, and thrco other meek aud lowly followers wounded. SOUTH CAROLINA WINE.-1,000 gallons of native wine wore shipped from the Derby farm, at Aiken, last week, to N? w York. A project contemplating a cheap ex? cursion trip round tho world is being talked of, to start from Boston next sum? iller. Rockland, Maine, Radical by past ex ' pertC'iico and by rece ut computation, has ..b eted ii Democratic Mayor. It is said that tho snow blockade bus cost tho Pacific Railroad Company 825, 000 a day. BOLD AGAIN.-A maa in Malden, Maas., sent great numbera ot circulare to Tarious people throughout the oonntry, offering to forward to them bj mail "a hand som oly bonnd book, with a rich and peculiarly interesting picture for frontispiece, exeonted in the highest style of French art, in BO vcr al colors." "Every bachelor," the circular said, ."should read it-every married couple, and un? married ladies, if they like. Every one should keep it in the trunk or in the pocket. Sent by mail, on the receipt of eight conte." The bait took; a great many people sent the money; and what does the reader suppose they received in return? The New Testament, with a chromolithograph of the Virgin and Childi Tho State constable, who went to Malden to seize the obnoxious literature, was bothered, and very naturally. "Aunt Betty Knight died at ber home in Laurens, last week. A singular faot connected with the life of this lady i% that although she lived to the advanced age of eighty-six years, and was twice married, she yet never changed her maideu came-that was Knight, and she both times married a Knight, living with her last husband sixty-six years. The Sacramento (Cal.) grand jury, in their report on the County jail, say: "We would recommend tho removal of the jailor, P. McGown, for toking prison - I era ont and strolling aronnd the city with I them ia the dead hours of midnight, leaving the control of the jail to one of the prisoners." i The Japanese are a people not without sentiment. One of the party just eman j ciputed from the Salt Lake City "block lade," on being asked his impression of the country, auswered: "A plaoe wheie I it snows."
