What a Millionare can do.â€" The Boston ‘ Traveller’ publishes a copy bf the last will and testament of Agusts* 1 us Thornlike of that city, who died at tthe Tremont House a month or two since, leaving an estate real as well as personal, of about half a million dollars. A daugh- ter of deceased offended her father by marrying against his will, she being at the time twenty-seven years of age. It is Stated that the father reached tile place of marriage of his daughter a few minutes alter the cerimony had been performed ; but, finding that he was too late, he left the house, aud ever since has evinced his hostility to this daughter, re- pulsing her from the bedside on the Occasion of his last sickness. This will, 'which is of gieat length and in the band- Vriting of the deceased, is one of the toost remarkable documents of the kind tver drawn up. The deliberate design exlnbited in every paragraph, to cut off Ws child from any participation in his Accumulated wealth, because she had at ftll age, obeyed the dictates of her heart in the choice of her companion for life, is sad to contemplate. It is absolutely terrifying to observe the careful malignity with which throughout the document, he provides for the carrying out of his almost demonical purpose. The mother is for- bidden to give aid to the child of her love j the brothers and sisters are de- barred from the exercise of their fratrenal affection ; all who are named in the will are subject to the same penalties. Old Harvard College has a donation of $20,000 for a Professorship of Music, but with like probisions ii a copper should go to aid Ihe proscribed couple or their children. A pittance of $400 per annum to save the law, is alone awarded, to the discarded ones. His wife is liberally provided for, but only on condition that she remain a widow. A pew is left to lier in Trinity Church, but with liberty to sell it and purchase in any other church, if she may desire it. On that point a liberality is apparent not manifest in other portions of the will. THE NORTHERN RAILWAY. A deputation from the Board of Trade, consisting of Messrs. E. F. Whittemore, T. D. Harris, J. McMurrich, W. Mc- Master, W. Gooderham, and â€" Moffatt, tin Friday last presented the following pe- tition to Sir Edmund Head, to which His Excellency replied he would give his best •consideration. (Copy.) To His excellency, Sir Edmund Walk- er Head, Jj-c., fyc. The memorial of the Board of Trade of Toronto, Respectfully Sheweth : That your memorialists have learned with the utmost alarm and regret that the Government Inspector ol Railroads had felt his duty to shut up and stop the Northern Railway for want of a small outlay in repairing its track* That as the said railway is one of the principal avenues of trade to the City of Toronto, its close at the present time would be attended with a great amount of suffering to the employees of the road, and cause serious derangement to the business of the city, as well as very great inconvenience to the inhabitants along its route. That as the Northern Railroad has been the means ol developing the resourc s of the country to a greater extent than any other road in the Province, in com- parison with its length and cost, and as Government has repeatedly assisted the Grand Trunk Railroad wit.i the greatest liberality when in difficulties; the Board of Trade in view of these circumstances and the urgent necessity of continuing the working of the road, most respectfully pray that your Excellency in Council would make the necessary advance in ac- cordance with an order of Council passed on the ninth of September last, and com- municated to the officers of ttie said rail- road. Your petitioners therefore pray that provisional aid may be granted to the said Northern Railroad until such time as some measures of permanent relief be devised by Parliament or otherwise. And your petitioners will ever pray. (Signed) i'HOS. CLARIvlSON.

Stewart, who had blundered upon “ a useful agicultural ma- chine,” treated. Oscar J. E. Stewart could not stand this. Oscar J. E. Ste- wart considered that he had a right not merely to the brains, but to whatever came out of the brains of his private and personal nigger. So Oscar J. E. Ste- wart petitioned the Senate that if the Patent Office would not, could not, or should not, issue a patent to his ingenious “ nigger,” it might be compelled to issue the patent to liiir. The petition was re- ceived, and the report says that it was ap- propriately referred. We have tried pretty hard to make out what an appropriate re- ference would be. Was it to the Com- mittee on Agriculture 1 or to the Com- mittee on Claims? or to the Committee on Ways and Means ? We shall watch this case for Mr. Oscar J. E. Stewart, and he shall have the benefit of our as- sistance. He shall have the hard cash for his “ nigger’s” brainwork as well as for his nigger’s” handicraftiness, and much good may it do him.â€"JV. Y. Tribune. SHOCKING TRAGEDY ON SATURDAY. Abridged from the Globe, A melancholy and fatal occurrence took place in tho Peru Saloon, King Street west, early on Saturday morning, the 25th, which terminated in the death of a young man named Henry Lane. It appears that tho young man in question, lives in Acton, where he carries on a largo business as tanner. Being in the city on matters connected with his business, he went along with some othor young men, to visit a number of the saloons in the city, for tho purpose of spending Christmas evo. About twelve o’clock on Friday evening he went into tho Peru Saloon, kept by J. Farrah, where a largo number of persons were at the time, He joined the party and commenced to drink and spend his money freely. He expressed a wish o go to bod about half-past two o’clock in the morning, being at the time very much the worse of liquor. He was provided with a fluid lamp, and accompanied to a small bed-room on tho third floor of the house over tho Saloon. While ihe othor persons were carousing below, their lato companion was being suffocated :o death in the room above It is conjectured that, upon entering the room, Mr. Lane fell upon his face, the lamp diopped from his hand, and the bed-clothes and bed being set on fire, ho was suffocated with the smoke. About six o’clock in the morning, one of the young men connected with the theatre, which is immedi- ately in rear of the saloon, and who sleeps in the building, had his attention attracted by a strong smell of burning, and upon looking up to the window above tho “ Pern,” he observed a large volume of smoke issuing from one of them. He immediately raised ihe alarm, and entered the saloon to acquaint the occupants with what ho had seen, Several of the parties in the place rushed up stairs, and upon opening tho door of tho room occupicd by Lane, the flames burst out upon them. A plentiful supply of water was sor>n obtained, and th e fire was ex- tinguished. When the smoko had partially cleared away, a search was made for the un- fortunate tenant of the room, and ho was found lying on the floor, lifeless, in front of the bed. The body was immediately romoved into another apartment, and Dr. Haswell being sent f(fr, ho attended in the most prompt manner. Every effort was made by the medical gentle- man to restore anima'ion which human aid could suggest, lut without availâ€"the vita' spark had fled. Mr. Lane appears to have died without a struggle, not a muscle in his face being moved, his countenance presenting a placid and composed appearance. With the exception of his overcoat, none of his clothes are burned, or even scorched, the fire being confined to the bed alone, and it is thought that he threw his coat on the bed before he fell. A large quantity of valuable papers and notos- of-hand of great value, was found in hispocke1 book ; somo of them are scorched to a certain extent, but none of them appear to be much injured. It is stated that Mr. Lane is very respectably connected, and was only reco ntly married. LOSS OF THE “UNITED KINGDOM” Dismay in the Patent Office.â€" A slave that can hoe is excellent. A slave that can sow is delightful. A slave that can reap is admirable. A slave that cm gather into barns is a treasure. A slave that will not run away is indeed a possession. A slave that will stand any- thing, from the cat and the paddle up to the vendition of his wife and children, is an Abrahamic model. Here one would suppose the catalogue ol slavish virtues might end, unless we added to it that du- bious virtue of fecundity, upon which decency will not permit us to dilate. But what will our readers say to a slave figuring in the light of an inventor 1 Of An inventor of a “ useful agricultural ma- chine V’ Of a “ machine” so useful that it promised to be profitable. And what will our readers think of the botherations, dilemmas, obluscations and general topsy turviness of the Patent Office, when a tchattel with a black skin walked into the ploisters sacred to invention, and claimed po have shown a little intellectual power, and to be entitled to renuineration there- for 1 Claimedâ€"poor chattel that he was â€"to have invented something which hu- man beings might find profitable and con- venient. Horrible was the dignified dis- tress of the Patent Office at this applica- tion. Here was a thingâ€"in the light of the Constitution nothing but a thingâ€" claiming the honours and emoluments of an inventor ! What should a thing be doing there 1 A thing with two legs, a stomach, and a head, and two hands absolutely pre- tending to have invented sometliiug ! No plough ever applied. No horse ever ap- plied. Therefore, when this two-legged thing came up, there was a row in the Office, and the magnates ordered her, him pr it to go ahout his, her or ib business, The ship ‘ United Kingdom,’ Captain S . Adair, sailed from Quebec, Oct 16, wTith a load of timber bound to Belfast. She had strong westerly gales until November I. After- wards the wind changed to southeast and con- tinued to blow for 15 days. About the 5th of Nov. the rudder was badlv sprung and as the ship was leaking fast, Capt. Adair kept her off before the wind, with tho hope of saving it On Nov. 7, the rudder-stock had broken off at the nock, and the lower part beating against tho stern-post started the rudder ends, causing an increase of the leak so that it was found impossible to keep her free. She consequent lv became wholly unmanageable. The entire crew had been pumping for fifleen days, night and day, and wore worn out with fatigue- Their arms had broken out with salt ulcers, and were badly swollen. At this time the ship, by wallowing in the trough of the sea, had every thing washed from oft’ deck, a large portion of tho bulwarks were knocked away, the cabin had been filled by tho sea which continually broke over tho ship, and there were 4 feet of wa- ter on the cabin-fioor, everything in it being des- troyed except the ship’s chronometer, which had been wrapped in a blanket and saved. There was no chance to cook, the crew were served with bread and cheese only. Tho ship was kept under close-reefed main- topsail and reefed foresail, In this condition tho crew came aft, and desired the captain to abandon the ship, as there was no possibility of saving her, Capt. Adair reluctantly con- sented to do so, eight of tho crew being wholly | disabled, and gavo the nocessary directions to get tho boats ready, expecting that in a short time the ship would capsize, Two casks o water were filled, and a quantity of provisions wero placed in readiness for putting into the boat. The gale continued without abatement veering from S. E, to E. S, E,, and a heavy sea running, In this situation the crow re- mained until tho 13th, when the London packet ship D, Webster hove in sigiht about ten o’clock, a. m. Signals of distress were immediately hoisted at tho peak, and the shipwrecked mariners had the satisfaction of seeing the ship bear down for thom. Captain Spencer of the D. Webster, did not wait to be hailed, but immediately offered to the unfor- tunate captain to take him on board. The gale was so violent, and the sea so heavy, that Capjain Spencer was obliged to keep at somo distance from the disabled ship, to prevent collision. Captain Adair now got out his long-boat, and with much difficulty tho whole crew succeeded in getting safoly on board the friendly ship, The names of the rescued officers andsoamen are as follows :â€" Samuol Adair, master; J • Maxwell, first officer; S. McElroy, second officer ; John Matthews, boatswain ; John Cune, carpcntoi ; D. Mc- Laughlin, John McQuillian, Thomas Hughes, John Donnen, Edmund O’Neil, J. Dougherty, Win, Sims, Win. M. lliken, Win.

Taking into consideration tho hard times, and being determined to advanco the pros- perity of tho community in which wo live; and believing as wo cortainiy do, that a Village is judged by parties at a distance by the Ad- vertisements that appear in the columns of its Newspaper, and being very desirous of offer- ing every inducement in our power to Mer- chants and others to Advortiso, wo have de- termined to Reduce our Advertising rates to as low a Fgnre as we can possibly afford.â€" Our great object is, to encourage liberal adver- tising, as this branch of Business is the main stay to all Printing Establishments.
