We learn from the Cincinna’ Boqwiser that Mr. Thomas Kingston,who for several years has followed the business of putting up lightning rods, which of course requires steady nerves and a firm brain, met with an accident recent- ly, by which, but for the most singular presence of mind, or rather supernatural instinct, he would have fallen from a dizzy height and been dashed to pieces. He is compelled to elimb roofs, over chimneys, and up spires, and fix a rod, with perfect coolness and precision, hun- dreds of feet above the level of the earth. On the oceasion to which we refer, Mr. K. had ascended St. Paul's Cathedral, whose spire is about 25, feet high, near the head of Broadway, and gone to the very top, where, having left his ladder below, he clung by his arms and legs. fastened the last foot of the rod and attached its point—quite a heavy piece of metal—secure- ly, as he supposed, to the cross surmounting the steeple ite had just completed this difficult and dangerous task, watched by a number of persons in the street below. and while looking at the work and experiencing the satisfaction which results from hazard passed and labor ae- complished, of a sudden something heavy struck him, and made his brain reel until he could hardly see. Instead of losing his hold at once, as would seem to have been the natural and inevitable result, he clung, with a power beyond himself and a will superior to his own, closer and instinctively to the spire. He knew not what had occurred, and to his confused senses it appeared that the steeple was tum- bling, or that some strange cause was about to bring the vast structure to the ground. Some forty seconds—an age to him—must have elapsed before he sufficiently collected his scattered thoughts and subverted consciousness to know that the entire upper part of the rod had fallen upon his head, causing the blood to trickle over his head, and nearly blinded ‘him. He was in a dreadfui perplexity and most dan- gerous position. He feared, if he moved, he would go cleaving the air to a terrible death upon the stony street below—and at the same time he knew he could not, in the disordered state of his nerves and his increasing weak- ness, retain his grasp, more the result of fate than of feeling, much longer. If he stirred he might fall; if he remained he certainly would; so, determined to make at last an effort for his life, he put one foot very cautiously, then bis arms, and then moved the other foot , and after half a minute of exertion, and the great- est danger, he touched the topmost round of the ladder, and in a few seconds more was in- side of the steeple and safe. Then it was Mr. K.’s great courage and strength forsook him; his nerves and muscles relaxed ; he grew sick unto death; his knees gave way ; his vision swam, and he sank upon the platform motionless and insensible. He must have Iain there half an hour before he could rise and walk, and he did not recover frem the shock for more than a fortnight after- ward. The people gazing up at him from the street describe the scene as painful and exciting in the extreme. When they observed the rod tall, a thrill of horror ran through their hearts, and two women swooned away, for they expected to behold him the next moment dashed to pieces at their feet. Destiny had ordered otherwise, and Mr. K. still pursues his danger- ous avocation; but he says if he were to live a thousand years he never would forget the in- tense horror of those century-like moments, when he seemed to bang upon the air more than two hundred feet above the earth, and to be momentarily descending to a dreadful death. ———»+e--_ A Moemox, wits gis Wives anv Basigs, EN RouTs FoR WasginGton.—A good Mormon story is told by a friend of ours now traveling in the West, looking after the commercial in- terests of the house with which he is connected, and who possesses a fund of sly wit, which is brought admirably into play on all fitting oc- casions. While stopping a short time since a’ hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, it happened that the Marsh Children, a troupe of juvenile comedians familiar to us all, nambering 28 or 30, arrived and put up at the same house. Their first ap- pearance in the dining room naturally attracted great attention, and many wei? the inquiries made in reference to them, who and what they were, where from and whither going, &e., &c. They occupied an entire table—all under 12 years of age, dressed alike and nearly all girls, with five or six middle aged females—their teachers—sprinkled among them. At the head of the table sat Mr. Marsh himself, grave, solemn and dignified in manner, a sort of Alex- ander Selkirk in a small way, monarch of all he surveyed. At the table and by the side of Mr. Quiz, sat two or three gentlemen somewhat rural in aspect, who were evidently a good deal mystified at the appearance of things, and on putting the Pitre of what it meant, they were informed that the grave personage at the head of the table was delegate from righam Young. « promisent and noted Mormon, on his way to Washington, to settle with the President the difficulties in Utah, and the elderly ladies Present were his six wives, and thirty children Were a portion of his pregeny. The thing took. The “rurals.”’ after taking a good look at Marsh, then at the family arrangements, re- tired. and the house, as wel! as the town itselt, was svon in commotion. all eager to look upon @ true prophet and his harem. “Amazing smart children for thekind,”’saysone. ‘‘What disgusting women,” ‘exclaims Miss Prim. i tan old wretch,”’ responds|a whole troupe of Cleveland ladies, as they would gaze and stare at the Utah saint with all their eyes. The children at last became slarmed-—thelr teachers next, and Marsh was quite beside him- self, not knowing whether to look upon these attentions as favorable to his success, or portend- ing something of a more serious nature. The matter finally exploded and there was ageneral seattering with the giggling accompaniment by the ladies. and hearty gules on the part of the men who were sold. Mr. Marsh determined to show his card—ordered his bills to be imme- diately posted, while Quiz self stepped on the cars in pursuit of business and—further ad- veature. We hope he found both. ptues farce aerate = RG Exrtonation or Arxica.—On the 13th ult., a dinner was given to Dr. Livingstone at Lon- don, previous to his departure for the scene of his labors in the interior of Africa, and the gathering was attended by many distinguished persons. The energy of this indefatigable tra- veller is now meeting its reward. He conr- mences the present journey under circumstan- ces far more favorable than any preceding one, and with the prestige of the British Govern- ment to strengthen him. The sum of £5,000 has been at his disposal forthe prosecu- tion of his views. Competent assistants will accompany him, and with such his new dis- coveries promise to be more important than those which he has previousty achieved. Pre- ceeding to the Cape of Good Hope, he will be conveyed in a government vessel to the mouth of the river Zambesi, and a small steamer will then be put together to enable him to aseend it as far as may be practicable—300 miles, he thinks, from its mouth. In fact, everything will be done which money and enterprise can effect to enable him to carry out his project for bringing this vast continent into more immedi- ate proximity with Europe. No traveller pos- esses so many requisites, natural and required. for this philanthropic purpose, and his ments will excite continued interest.

XI. LETTER OF A DYING WIFE TO HER HUSBAND. The following touching fi ent of a letter from a dying wife to her hus! » was found by him some months after her death, between leaves of a religious volume, which she was very fond of fete The letter was written long before her husband was aware that the rasp of fatal disease had fastened upon the vely form of his wife, who died at the early age of nineteen: When this shall reach your eye, dear George, some day when you are turning over the rel of the past, I shall have prised away forever, and the cold’ white stone will be keeping its lonely watch over the jigs you have so often pressed, and the sod will be growing green that shall hide forever from your sight the dust of ane who has often nestled close to your warm heart. For many long and sleepless nights, when all besides my thoughts were at rest, I have wrestled with the consciousness of ap- proaching death, until at last it has formed itself upon my mind; and although to you, to others it might now seem but the nervous im- agining of a girl, yet, dear George, it is so! any weary hours have I passed in the en deavor to reconcile myself to leave you, whom T love so well, and this bright world of sun- shine and beauty; and hard indeed it is to struggle on silently and alone with the sure conviction that I am about to leave all forever and go down into the dark valley! “But I know in whom I have believed,’’ and leaning on his arm, ‘I fear no evil.” Do not blame me for keeping even all this from you. How could I subject you, of all others, to such sor- row as [ feel at parting, when time will soon make itapparent to you? Icould have wished to live if only to be at your side when your time shall come, and pillowing your head upon my breast, wipe the death damps from your brow, and usher your departing spirit into the Maker’s presence, embalmed in woman's holi- est prayer. But it is not to be—and I submit. Yours is the privilege of watching. through long and dreary nights, for the spirits’s final flight,-and of transferring my sinking head from your breast to my Saviour’s bosom! And you shall share my last thought, and the last faint pressure of the hand, and the last feeble kiss shall be yours, and even when flesh and heart shall have failed me, my eyes shall rest on yours until glazed by death ; and our spir- its shall hold one last communion until gently fading from my view—the last of earth—you shall mingle with the first bright glimpses of the unfading glories of the better world, where partings are unknown. Well do I know the spot, my dear George, where you will lay me; oiten we stood by the place, and as we watched the mellow sunset as it glanced in quivering flashes through the leaves and burnished the grassy mounds around us with the stripes of burnished gold, each perhaps has thought that some day one of us would come alone, and which ever it might be, your name would be on the stone. But we loved the epot, and I know you will love it none the less when you see the same quiet sun-light linger and play among the grass that grows over young Mary’s grave. I know you will go there, and my spirit will be with you then, and whisper amonz the waving branches—‘I am not lost, but gone before.’ Cou. Thomas ALLSop Escaren To America. The English papers state that Col. Thomas All- sop, charged with complicity in the late at tempt on the life of the Emperor Louis Napo- leon, has escaped to America about the time of the sailing of the steamer America. The Me- tropolitan Police Commissioners of London have issued the following description and reward for the apprehension of the accused : Whereas a warrant has been granted for the apprehension of Thomas Allsop, late of Nut- field, near Reigate, in the county of Surrey, and formerly of No. 1 Royal Exel ange build- ings, in the city of London, and member of the Stock Exchange, charged as accessory to the murder of divers persons (whose names are unknown) at Paris, in the empire of France, a reward of £200 will be paid to any person or persons who shall give such information as shall lead to the apprehension of the said Thomas Allsop. Description of Thomas All- sop—Age, about 60; height six feet; complexion fair; eyes gray; hair thin, light, and turning gray; little or no whiskers; strong made; stoops as if round shouldered; speaks quick; dress, dark brown dress coat, drab trousers, and black hat. The said Thomas Allsop was well known at Ginger’s hotel, Westminster Bridge, and at the Jamaica Coffee House, Cornhill, city. In- formation to be given at the police station, King street, Westminster, or at any of the po- lice stations. It is stated that Col. Allsop has for several days been contealed in this city, somewhere in Anthony street. Both English and French detectives are now in pursuit of him, and it is not at all improbable that he may be arrested within a day or two. Though the contemplated assassination, of which he is alleged to be one of the conspirators, was not successful, he will be returnable under the extradition treaty, if indicted for the murder of the innocent per- sons who were killed by the explosions in the Rue le Pelletier.—V. ¥. Herald. ka’Some of the citizens of Frostburg, Md., were as much astonished as alarmed by seeing a ball of fire, several feet in circumference, pass over that town, on Tuesday last. It first appeared near the Frostburg mines, northeast of the place; it then followed the current of air, in a southwesterly direction, when it seem- ed to fall to the ground. Its appearance is described to have mn a red, blazing body. pee rather swiftly, and leaviag sparks and ragments of its blaze in ite train. It was at an elevation of 40 or 50 feet above the house tops. At the time it came to the ground, it seemed to have been mostly consumed. This singular visitant is supposed to have been a y of gas which escaped from the coal mines, and on coming in contact with the pure air, ignited, and produced the sight described. Murpers tn Utan Territory —A gentleman of this city received yesterday, says the St. Louis Republican, a letter from a friend in Los Ange- tos, California, in which mention is made of the death of the brothers Aiken. The writer says:— “You have probably seen an account of the death of Joba and Tom Aiken They left here with the intention of joining the U.S. troops going to Salt Lake; were captured by the Mormons in Salt Lake, and after being beld as prisoners for some time, were started off with a party who pretend- ed fo act as an escort and guides, and by whom they were murdered. We are anticipating very lively times bere this spring, thinking that some troops will probably be sent this wayto Utah. A new fort is to be established near San Bernardi- no,”’ We learn, ifkewise, from a private source, that Mr. Thompson, origioally from Shelby co., Ky., but a resident of this city in 1452, when last heard from was in Utab, ander circumstances which have caused his friends here some alarm for his safety. He is known to have incurred the displeasure of Brigham Young and the Mormon leaders, by coreepontieg for newspapers in the Uaited States. When last heard from be bad been forced to leave the house at which he lodg- ed in Salt Lake City, and, togeth*r witha friend of his, had fears of some serious persecation or punishment at the hands of the Mormons.
