AWFUL CALAMITY IN OSWEGO. From the Oswego Palladium, March 10. Tho most awful calamity that has 'ever tran- spired in this city occurred last evening about fifteen minutes after seven o’clock,at St. Mary’s {Catholic] Church. A mission was opened at tho church on Sun- day last by Missionaries belonging to the order of Redemptorists. and the congregations have been immense every evening since, every seat being crowded, and the aisles also, with inter- esting listeners of all classes of citizens. Las1 evening another overwhelming audience had assembled to listen to a discourse on the subjec1 of “ The Last Judgment.” The church was literally packed with people. Tho exercises o^ the evening had just commenced, or were about to commence, when about one-third of the floor immediately in front of the altar gave way from the immense weight and fell to the basoment, precipitating about one-third of the audience in an indiscriminate mass into the abyss below. The scene that ensued is beyond the power of language to describe. The groans, shrieks> prayers and supplications of the mass of human ceings thus thrown in a confused heap into tlie hasin below, as well as the horror stricken mass beside, in the other part of the house’ was awful beyond description. Those who were uppermost in the precipitated mass strug- gled to escape by climbing up and over each other, trampling under foot thoso beneath. A universal panic seized the whole of the assemblage instantly. A terrific rush was made by those on that part of the floor not fall- en, to escape from the house, amid the shrieks and groans of those being trampled under foot. The alarm was soon spread by the shouts and lamentations of the frantic crowd, and the bolls were rung, supposing it to be on fire, and the firemen al 1 turned out. As soon as the mass of the people had left the church, a number of men. together with Mr. Guardet, and the Redemptorist Priests* Joel H. Warn and others, rushed to the relief of the unfortunate people who wore lying dying and even dead. Many women were taken out of lhe church insensible, some with broken limbs, some dead, flow many wore actually dead or died subsequently, or how many were seriously injured, it was impossible to tell last evening, as numbers were carried away by friends and acquaintances of whom nothing in particular could be learned, except that several were known to be in an unconscious state, and many were seriously injured. One man, Law- rence Murray, brother-in-law of Luke llatti- gan, a member of the Oswego Guard* was taken out dead ; also, Mrs. Mary Carlin, and Mre. Bridget Langdon, who were conveyed to the house of R. H. Martin Esq., opposite which both soon expired. Anothei woman, Mrs. Margaret Hennessy, was taken to ihe residence of Mr. Kane, where she also expired in a short, ime. News of the calamity rapidly spread, and thousands of peo pie speedily assembled at the scene of disaster, and hundreds were eagerly and anxiously inquiring and looking for their friends, relatives, children, wives, husbands, sisters, and brothers, and the excitement and grief were universal and a genera) gloom per- vaded the ci*y whereever the intelligence of tho melancholy disaster reachod. As we pro- ceeded to the scene we met numerous groups bearing their female friends in their arms, who were bewildered, fainting, and weeping from fright or injury, and lamentations w ero to be heard on every hand in the vicinity. After a hard struggle we succeeded in get- ting through the crowd and entered the church by the rear door. We found a score of men removing the ruins and searching for other bodies, but fortunately no more were found. The furnace was under the fallen floor, and water had to be brought to extinguish the fire to prevent conflagration. The men then raised up the ruins so as to clear them from the fur- nace. The body of the church was covered with the broken pews and ruins that had been taken out and piled up. We then proceeded to the school-room, off fr om the altar, where the body of Mr. Murray lay. In Mr. Gardet’s residence, immediately ad- joining tho church were two females who lay unconscious, and friends and physicians apply- ing restoratives. The Oldest Inhabitant.â€"A cor- respondent in the London Times calcu- lates the age of the great California tree, in tlie Crystal Palace at Sydenham, at about six thousand, four hundred and eight! It must have been planted, ac- cording to that, when Adam was a very small baby, if not beiore. The same writer refers to another California tree which must be at least seven thousand, one hundred and twenty-eight years old. The method in which this computation was made is this : The writer took two pieces of the wood of the treeâ€"one of the heart, and the other of the sapwoodâ€"about an inch square, and he counted the con- centric layers, which are supposed to in- dicate the annual growth! In the heart- wood he found forty-five layers to the Inch, and in the sapwood twenty-one ; and as lhe tree is fourteen (eet in diameter-- ten of heart and four of soapâ€"(he result was easily obtained. The second tr^e poken of was thirty-nine feet in diameter. What can be the affinity between loqua- city and red hair1? Is a man talkative be- cause he has red hair, or has he red hair because he is ta'kative ? This, however, is certain ; nobo iy ever saw a red-headed man that didn’t talk equal to two average black headed ditto â€"London Correspon- dent of the Albion. The Foet and the Poultry.â€" About an hour before the great dinner at the New Town Hall of Newcastle, in ho- nor of Robert Burns, a worthy Scotchman was taken into the room for liie purpose of seeing the spread. On viewing the ar- rangements he held up his hands in aston- ishment, and, with enthusiasm beaming from his eyes, exclaimed, ‘ Eh, sirs, if [lab could rise and see what a sicht o’ hens they’ve killed tor him.â€" Daily News. Pvicn Cargo.-â€"A steamboat arrived a few days ago at our wharf, from the Red Lliver, wilh a large parly of gentle- men and noi tinvestei*n parishes, who are visiting our city for p,ensure and amuse- ment. Among them are eight widows, whose aggregate wealth amounted to $5.- 000,000. One of the said ladies is the owner of 600 slaves, and the others make a crop of 3,000 000 bales of cotton.â€" New Orleans Delta. T, aking it Cool.â€"A very distress- ing and painful accident occurred in Galt on Saturday night. i\lr. Attwood, sen., of the Slave and Shingle Factory, was superintending a circular saw after dusk, and whilst walking round, something trip- ped him, Ins hand fell on the saw, which at one revolution cut ofi all the fingers and thumb ol his left hand. The spectacle was horrible, but it did not daunt the brave old man. With a chissel he cut off the integuments which had attached the lingers lo the hand, and bore all I lie torture with perfect complacency, walking to Ins lesidcnceâ€"talking lightly of the loss â€"and appearing on the «treet on Monday in good health and spirits. Such an in- stance ot fortitude we have seldom heard of. New Anglo-American Newspa- per.â€"Dr. Charles Mackay, formerly Editor ol the Illustrated London News, is about to establish an American news- paper in London. One issue will inform English people of what is happening in America, and the other will apprise Americans of what is going on in England. 'Ihe Navy.â€"The Times states that it is said the report about to be presented by the Royal Commission for manning tlie navj will propose a system which, in th«i opinion of tlie Commissioners, will en- sure the maintenance of that service in a state of perfect efficiency at all times at an addition to the present outlay not exceedi- ng <£400,000 per annum. The Daily News says : We are in- fonntd ti^at Government nas given cut orders for tlie construction of sixteen en- gines, destined for war steamers. Horrible Act of Cruelty to a Monkey.â€"At tbe bench, on Thursday, James Gill and G. Joice, seamen belong- ing to her Majesty’s ship Hannibal, weie charged with the following act of cruelty: On the 28th ult, the defendants were at a beer-house in Hanover, street, Portsea, where there was a small tame domesticated monkey, so much so that it played with the children like a kitten, and was not even tied up. They got hold of the monkey and one held it whilst tbe other put its tail in the fire, and the tail was nearly burned off, the poor animal struggling and crying like a child all the time. They then burn- ed one of its ears off with a red hot pokar, and also burned its neck and throat, and were about an hour tortuiing it; it died three days afterwards from the injury to its throat. This was deposed to by two witnesses, but defendants called a shipmate named Robert Jeffery, who swore he was there at the^time, and that the monkey was not burned by any person whilst he was present; Joice left the house with him. Major Travers said it was the most atro- cious case he had ever heard of,and the bench were unanimous in passing the heav- iest sentence of the law permitted, which was, that they be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. The wit- ness Jeffery was detained some time whilst the magistrates were considering whether tfiey would at once commit him for trial at the assizes for perjury, but eventually gave him in charge to the master-at-anns of his ship, to be taken on board for the present for further consideration of the matter.â€" West Sussex Gazette.

TO FATHERS AND MOTHERS. You know how important it is for your chil- dren that you should keep good health. How frequently do we see feeble parents dressed in mourning on account of the death of their be- loved children. What a pity it is, when, by proper care and remedies, all these trials and troubles can be avoided. When health can be restored to the parent and life and happiness to the child, Restore the health of the mother and you obviate the necessity of Paregoric, Godfrey’s Cordial and other injurious narcotics for crying children. We entrbat you, as we desire to improve the condition of our race, to procure L)r. Morse’s Almanac and read how diseases are cured in accordance with Nature’s laws with innocent Roots and Plants. PREGNANCY. During this critical period Morse’s Indian Root Pills will be required, because they cleanse the body from those morbid humors, and tho- roughly drive away all pains, and give ease and comfort to the mother. From one to three of tho:>e Pills, takoM two or three times a week during pregnancy, will cause the mother cs saef and easy delivery, acd will bo sure to give a stout and healthy constitution to the child, Dr, Morse’s Indian Root Pills are sold by all dealers in Medicines. THE Injudicious use of Mercury often oc- casions affections of the throat, of the bones of the nose, and malignant sores. Dr. Moffat’s Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters are signally suc- cessful in eradicating all the effects of mercury rom the system. They aid nature in casting from the body all poisonous matters, and by thus purifying the vital fluids, they restore the constitution to sound health. For sale by W. li.

Taking into consideration the hard times, and being determined to advance the pros- perity of the community in which we live; and believing as we certainiy 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 Advertise, we have de- termined to Roduce our Advertising rates to as low a Fgure 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. Our readers will at once perceive that it is utterly impossible to advertise at lower rates than we give below. If we did, we should not be able to carry on the paper ; for no one (not even printers) can be expected lo work for nothing. However, we hope that all those who desire o encourage a Village Newspaper will advertise liberally, and then while we shall be benefited, they themselves will be even more so by an increase of business,â€"the invariable result Of advertising.
