Dreadful Accident at Madison, on the DELANCV a journeyman printer, in the Argus Office here, was nearly killed this morning, while in the act of loading a cannon, by a premature discharge. Both of liis arms were entirely shattered to pieces below the elbow; one of his eyes was blown entirely out, the other badly injured, and his face in other respects horribly mutilated and he received several severe injuries npon his body. The arms were both immediately amputated by Dr.

Ward, of this place. There ia, perhaps, very small chance for his recovery. Two or three others were prostrated by the explosion, but none of them seriously The accident was probably caused by attempting to load with too much haste after a discharge. It occurred as the procession was about forming to proceed to the Capitol to hear the oration, and naturally cast a gloom over the proceedings. THE CEL.ERATIOK.—After some delay occasioned by the accident, the procession was formed, and proceeded to the Assembly Hall at the Capitol, where they listened to an oration by Judge ARMSTRONG, of Janesville.which was enthusiastic, patriotic, eloquent, and well adapted to the occasion.

The Explosion at -It is now satisfactorily ascertained that the explosion which took place nt the Central Hnilroad Depot on Sunday was entirely accidental. A box, it seems, such as is carried by pedlars, was inclosed in a chest of wood about two and a hnlf feet long, with harness and some other articles of value. The tin bos contained a powder-horn and small lot of goods, and probably some matches or other combustible material.

It had been taken from the dock qn Saturday evening and set up endwise in the passiige-way of the On Sundny, at noon when the Ocean came in, a person throw the box down upon the side, and two persons sat down upon it. They had sat down upon it but a few minutes when it exploded. Unquestionably the throwing the box upon its side caused the friction matches to unite, which communicating with the powder, caused the explosion. The powder-horn was found with the wooden end out of it, but not burst. The powder apparently had csoipcd from the horn before the Detroit Free Press.

Some pork and bacon was burned. in the pursuit of objects that are worthy to engross the minds of rational men; bnt if, in the pursuit of wealth or place, we are forgetful or regardless of our own or our fellow-mortals' welfare, we deserve the condemnation of the wise and good of the world, and the just punishment that Heaven will never fail to inflict.

The physical world is governed by certain immutable laws, tho violation of which is sore to bo followed by misery to him who violates them. A beneficent Creator has made us acquainted with the mode in which many of these laws operate, and has endowed us with reason, in order that we may guard against them, and thereby avoid the punishment. The laws that regulate health are as sure in their operation as, those that govern the planets in the solar system. If we breathe a pure and wholesome air, our frames arc invigorated and our health promoted. On the other hand, to breathe an atmosphere impregnated with the miasma from stagnant pools and heaps of dirt and decaying matter, never fails to induce disease.

On such an atmosphere as this the dreaded pestilence spreads its wings; it fans the vitiated air in the faces of your friends, and they wither and die beneath its blighting breath. Large towns are peculiarly liable to the visitation of plagues and pestilences, and these calamities, we are told, arq sent by an inscrutable Providence. True, that may be so sometimes but in nine cases out of ten, the pestilence is invited thither by the Inscrutable folly of men. They permit stagnant water to lie in their vicinity, and suffer filthy heaps of dirt to lie in their own back yards. If the main street before their stores is passable for their customers, they, too often, do not care how flthy the alleys in the rear of their stores and dwellings may be.

And ns for the lanes and inhabited by the poor, nobody cares about them. Thus it is. then, that the backyards, lanes and allies of cities contain quantities of did you not?" "I did, and it was to have been cash as soon as done. Well, he took it out two weeks ago; one week sooner than I promised it I sent the bill with it expecting of course, he would send me a check for the amount, but I was diappointed. Having heard nothing from him since, I thought I would call on him this morning, when to my surprise, I was told he had gone travelling with his wife and daughter, and would not be back for six weeks or two I can't tell you how I felt when I was told this." "He is safe enough for it I suppose, isn't he, George?" "Oh, yes: he is supposed to be worth about three hundred thousand.

But what good is that to me. I was looking over my books this afternoon, and, including this five hundred, there is just fifteen hundred dollars due me now, that I ought to have, but can't get it. To a man doing a large business it would not be much, but to one with my limited means, it is a good deal. And this is all in the hands of five individuals, any one of whom could pay immediately, and feel not the least inconvenience from it." "Are you much pressed tor money just now, George?" "I have a note in bank of three hundred, which falls due to-morrow, and one of two hundred and fifty on Saturday. Twenty- five dollars at least will be required to pay off my hands, and besides this, our quarter's rent is due on Monday, and my shop rent that purpose, a gentleman entered r.who wished to Buy a second hand Mr.

Allison had bnt one, and that was almost new, for which he asked one hundred and forty dollars. "It is higher than I wish to go," said the gentleman, "I ought to get a new ona for that price." "So you can, bnt not like this. I can sell you a new one for a hundred and twenty five dollars; but what did you expect to pay for one "I was offered one at Holton's for seventy five, but I did not like it; I will give you a hundred for yours." "It is too little indeed, sir. That carriage cost three hundred dollars when it was new. It was in a very short time.

I allowed a hundred "and forty dollars for it myself." "Well sir, I would not like yon to sell at a disadvantage, but if you like to accept of my offer I'll take it. I'm prepared to pay cash down." Mr. Allison did not reply for some minutes. He was undecided as to what was best. "Forty dollars," said he to himself, "a a pretty heavy discount.

I am almost tempted to refuse his offer and trust to Hall's renewing the note. But suppose he won't, then I'm done for. I think upon the whole I'd better accept it. I'll put it at one hundred and twenty five, my good friend," said he, addressing the customer No, sir, one hundred is all that I shall Did slid much it was "Two'dollars, ma'am." "Very welt I will try and let her have it next week." The expression of Laura's countenance told too plainly the disappointment she felt.

Poor things! who can tell the amount of suffering and wretchedness that is caused by the rich neglecting to pay promptly." "You come without money, Laura," said her mother, she entered the house.

"I have sent then- bills in, but if I call on them so soon I might perhaps affront them and cause them to take their work away, and that I don't want to do. However, I think I shall have to do it, let the consequence be what it may." "Perhaps you could borrow what you eed, George, for a few days." "I suppose I could; but see the incon- enicnce and trouble it puts me to. I ras so certain of getting Hillman's money meet those two -notes, that I failed to make any other provision."

I had but one dollar left after paying that.

I was sorry for them, but I could not help them. I am afraid Robinson's family will suffer, for there has been sickness in his house almost constantly for the last twelve months. His wife, he told me the other day, had not been out of her bed for six weeks. Poor fellow! He looked quite dejected when I told him I had nothing for him." At this moment the door bell rang, and or two afterward a young girl entered the room in which Mr. and Mrs.

Allison were sitting. Before introducing her to our readers, we will conduct them to the interior of an obscure dwelling, situated near the out-skirts of the city. The room is small and scantily furnished, and answers at once for parlor, dining-room, and kitchen. Its occupants, Mrs. Perry and her daughter, have been since the earliest dawn of day, intently occupied with their needles, barely allowing themselves time to partake of then: frugal meal.

"I am sorry for your disappointment, my child, but I care more for Mrs. Carr than I do for ourselves.

She has been here, and is hi a great deal of The Doctor don't think Annie will live till morning, and Mrs. Owringhas refused to give Mary more than three dollars for her month's work, every cent of which old Grimes took for rent. I told her she might depend on getting what I owed her, and that I would send you over with it when you returned. You had better go at once and tell her, Laara, perhaps she may be able to get some elsewhere." "How much is it, Mother "Half a dollar." "It seems hard that she can't get that small sum." With a heavy heart Laura entered Mrs. Carr's abode.

"Oh how glad lam that you have come! my dear," exclaimed the poor "Annie has been craving some ice cream all day; it's the only thing she seems to fancy.

To make a long story short, as our garrulous grandpapa used to say when winding up.

one of his three-hour stories, this purely charitable and benevolent visit was repeated again and again. From the poor in the rfext alley, whoso destitution had been the original cause of their meeting, they soon transferred their attention exclusively to each other; and so well did the artful little devil ply her resources that in a few days she succeeded in infusing new fire into the withered and dried up heart of the old deacon, and in transforming him into a beseeching and palpitating lover. It need not be said that she-was not a cruel nymph. She told him her unfortunate that she had been married at sixteen (we never did know a woman who was not married at sixteen) to a hard-hearted and brutal wretch who had neglected, abused arid then abandoned her; and that she was at this moment that worst species of widow, a grass widow. Her heart she said was full of pious enthusiasm and sympathetic tenderness, and she only longed for some noble and manly bosom into which she could pour the overflowing emotions of her too sensitive nature.

Ho first called a wealthy merchant whose annual was something near five morning Mr. Allison." said ie, as that individual entered his counting oom. "I suppose you want some money." "I should like a little, Mr. Chapin, if please." "Well, I intended coming down to see you, but I have been so busy that I have lot been able; that carriage of mine which did up a few weeks ago does not suit ne altogether?" "What is the matter with it?" "I don't like the style of trimming for one thing, it has a common look to me." "It is precisely Mrs. Chapin, ordered.

You U'ld me to suit her." "Yes, but did she not tell you to trim like Gen. Spangler's." "I am very much mistaken, Mr. Chapin, if it is not precisely like his." no; his has a much richer look han mine." The style of trimming is just the same, Mr. Chapin; but you certainly did not suppose that a carriage triaimed with worsted lace, would look as well as one trimmed with silk lace?" 'No of course not; but there are some other little things about it that don't suit me. I will send my man down with it today, and he will show you where they are.

I would like to have it to-morrow afternoon, to take my family out in. Call up on Monday and we wiil have a settlement." Mr. Allison next called at the office of a young lawyer who had lately come into possessTon of an estate valued at one hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Allison's bill was three hundred dollars, which his yonng friend assured him he would settle only that there was a slight error in the way it was made out, and and not having the bill with him, he jnld not now correct it.

A Custom House gentleman was next sought, but his time had been so-much taken up with his official duties, that he had not been able to examine the bill. He had no dobut but it was all correct; still as he was not accustomed to doing business in a loose way, he most claim Mr. Allison's indulgence a few days longer. Almost disheartened, Mr. Allison entered the store of the last individual who was indebted to him for any considerable amount, not daring to hope that he would be any more successful with him than the others he bad called on.

But he was successful; the bill which amounted to one hundred and fifty dollars, was promptly paid, Mr. Allison's pocket in consequence that much heavier, and his heart that much lighter. Fifty dollars was yet lacking of the sum "Half past three o'clock," ejaculated the daughter, her eyes glaneing, as she spoke, at the clock on the "I am afraid we shall get this work done in time for me to take it home before dark, mother." "We must try hard, youknow we have not a cent in the house, and I told Mrs. Carr to come over to-night and I would pay her what I owe her for washing. Poor thing I would not disappoint her, for I know she needs it." Nothing more was said for nearly twenty minutes, when Laura again broke the silence.

"Oh "dear sne exclaimed, "what a pain in my side." And for a moment she rested from her work and straightened herself in her chair to afford a slight relief from the uneasiness she experienced. "I wonder mother if I shall always be obliged to sit so steady." "I hope not my child but bad as our situation is, there are hundreds worse off than we. Take Annie Carr for instance would you like to exchange places with her?" "Poor Annie I was thinking of her a while ago, mother. How hard it must bo for one so young, to be afflicted as she is." "And yet, Laura, she never complains; although for five years she has never left her bed, and has often suffered, I know for want of proper nourishment." "I don't think she will suffer much longer, mother. I stepped in to see her the other day, and I was astonished at the change which had taken place in so short a time.

Her conversation, too, seemed so heavenly, her faith in the Lord so strong that I could not avoid coming to a conclusion that a few days more at the most, would terminate her wearisome life." "It will be a happy release for her, indeed, my daughter. Still it would be a sore trial for her mother." It was near six, when Mrs. Perry and her daughter finished the work upon which they were engaged. "Now Laura, dear," said the mother, "get back as soon as you can, for I don't like you to be out after night, and more than that, if Mrs. Carr comes she won't want to Abont twenty minutes after the yonng girl had gone Mrs.

Carr called. "Pray be seated, my dear friend." said Mrs. Perry, "my daughter has just gone to Mrs. Allison's with some work, and as soon as she returns I can pay you."

"Is Annie any worse, then "Oh! a great deal; the doctor thinks she will hardly last till morning." suffering child." "Never mind me, mother," replied Annie, "it was selfish in me to want it, when I know how hard you and Mary are obliged to work for every cent you get.

But I feel that I shall not bother you much longer; I have a strange feeling here now. And placed her hand upon her left side. "Stop!" cried Laura, "I'll try and get some ice' cream for you Annie." And off she ran to her mother's dwelling. "Mother," said she as she entered the house, "do you recollect that half dollar father ve me the last time he went to scar" "Yes d.ear." "Well, I think I had better take it and .1 -i gave pay her Mrs. Carr.

"It goes hard with me to part with it, mother, for I had determined to keep it in remembrance of my father. It is just twelve years to-day since he went away. will take it." So saying, Laura went to unlock the box which contained her treasure, but unfortunately her key was not where she had supposed it was. After a half hour's search she succeeded in finding it. Tears coursed down her cheeks like rain as she removed from the corner of the little box, where it had lain for so many years, this precious relic of a dear father, who in all probability was buried beneath the ocean.

Dashing them hastily away, she started again for Mrs. Carr's. The ice cream was procured on the way, and just as the clock struck eight, she arrived at her door. One hour has elapsed since she left. But why does she linger on the threshold Why but because the sounds of weeping and mourning have reached her ears, and she fears that all is over with her poor friend.

Her fears are indeed true, fur the pure spirit of the young sufferer has taken its flight to that blest land where hunger and thirst are known no more. Poor Annie! thy last earthly wish, a simple glass of ice cream, was denied why We need not pause to answer: ye who have an abundance of this world's goods, think when ye are about to turn from, yonr doors, the poor seamstress or washerwoman, or even those less destitute than they, without a just recompense for their labor, whether the sufferings and privations of some poor creatures will not Arthur's Home four, five, thousand No, it would not do: this stain upon- the outraged husband's crest could not be effaced 0 for a single dollar less than fifty thousand It was destruction it would shake the old and time honored house of Co. to its centre; it was bankruptcy! On the other hand, was a prosecution, exposure, disgrace, ruin and infamy. What a dilemma for our respectable Peacon, who had only visited one of his parishoners on a mission of benevolence and ehairty surely it is an ungrateful world The injured husband, all things considered, took the affair with very commendable equanimity; he was in no would give the gentlemen time to consider. Meanwhile the alternative was fixed thousand dollars and nothing said, or an action in the courts for seduction and adultery.

Pondering day and night on this sad secret, our worthy Deacon lust his appetite, his flesh, his spirits. He grew sad, hypochondraie, and at length fell sick and'took to his bed.

He advised that his patient should immediately a confidant of some member of his family and get the burden off his conscience as soOn as possible, what- it misrht be. The advice was followed, and the old gentleman, with many a contortion of race and mortification, at length told, the whole' story to his son-in-law, who at once undertook to settle the affair amicably.

"How docs Mary get on at Mrs. Ow- ring's "Not very well; she has worked for her just one month to.day; and although she gave her to understand that her wages would be at least ten shillings a week, yet to-night she settled with her, she would not give her but three dollars, and at the same time told her if she did not wish to work for that she could go."

Or how a grave old Deacon was tormented by a pair of Mack eyes Ingenious There are better romances constantly occurring in the records of the police department than any imagined or written by our public novelists of The best of these, or rather the most interesting, seldom see the light or find themselves in print. As it is against our principles, however, to publish and repeat the matter of our cotemporaries, it is our purpose now and then to edify our readers by some of the most interesting of these police-office romances, the details of which we have gathered, no matter how, but we can assure the public that we have a perfect right to them and that they are authentic.

Of course, we shall disguise the names and localities and attendant circumstances of these that they cannot lead to a recognition; for ourTnotto is, in respect to the slips and peccadilloes of mankind, "let by-gones be by-gones." Some time ago a very pious, respectable and esteemed deacon of one of our fashionable churches, one of whose functions was to carry round the plate on collection days, observed for several Sundavs in snccession a very blooming and handsome lady who invariably put into the contribution plate a five dollar gold piece, where amid the smooth dimes and worn-out nine- pences by which it was surrounded, it looked like the mamma and nieces mentioned by Byron, shining like A gnlnea and MTon shilling pieces." The handsome lady invariably as she deposited her coin in the plate gave the susceptible deacon a sad and tender glance, (doubtless of unaffected charity and benevolence) which went directly to his half frozen old heart and thawed out the flowery memories of sweet sixteen. At length after this rather expensive process of coquetting with the old gentleman's susceptibilities had continued for several Sundays, the lady, as the plate came round, timidly arrested the hand of the deacon and whispered to him that she would be glad to consult with him on the affairs of an unfortunate member of "our church" who was in great embarrasment and at the same time, slipping her card with her address into bis hand. It is the part of a Christian as well as a gentleman to be punctual to one's appointments, especially with the ladies; and it may be supposed that our respectable friend was not behind time in calling upon his fair parishioner. He-rang bell with a fluttering heart and a sensation that had been a'stranger in his bosom for over half a century. Entering a tastefully and handsomely furnished boudoir he found a lady in one of those indescribably bewitching dishabilles which pie salves out of town.

This looked bad for their respectability and confirmed the Chief in his suspicions and course. Arming himself with the necessary keys, he waited till the hour at which the supper was in full headway, and then going to the house, he quietly opened the front door, walked up stairs, and entered the front room where the party assembled round the supportable. Casting, a rapid police glance round the room, he was somewhat taken aback by failing to a single person. However, -putting a bold face on the matter, and trusting to luck and a good cause, be proceeded "Good evening ladies and gentlemen," said the Chief, "I am glad to see you." "Who the deuce are you exclaimed the master of tho house, jumping from the table, while the other guests gave signs of great excitement.

"Oh it's all right," replied the Chief; "Matsell the Chief of Police you know me. All right, go ahead." The announcement of this magic name created the utmost consternation among the party, the members of which, each on his own hook, began making tracks for the door. Quietly locking it, however, with his own key, which he deposited in his pocket, the Chief smiled benignantly upon the company, and approached the table, helped himself to a glass of wine, which he drank to the health of the ladies and gentlemen At this moment ho caught the eye of the mistress of the house vague reminiscence came over him of having seen her somewhere and at some time; when and where, however, he conld not for the life of him remember.
