A Grave above Ground. On the banks of ihe Oiiio river, between Maysville and Wheeling there is a cast iron coffin, supported by pillars, about two feet above the surface of the earth, with the following inscription: In memory of Andrew Ellison, who departed this life, January 12. 1824." The deceased was n eccentric but unfortunate man. He was one of the first set'lers in the western country, and hewed down the woods with his own hands. He left about two hundred thousand dollars to his widow, on condition she buried him according to his diieciion; she is required to move the coffin to any place in which she may take up her abode. By marrying again she forfeits the whole estate. Trouble in Fknce. A letter from Paris, under date of Sept. 8, says: 'O i Sunday night Paris was in a fearful state ill the National Guards were undr arms, and the poMs doubled. An insurrection of a very set ions nature was apprehended, but the night passed ofFijuitlly. There is a dark and lowering spot in the destinies of France, which every ete can perceive, the bursting of which will probably fall on the head of the ciafty monarch, who wields with such cunning the sceptre of that country. ,!
Canada. The province of Lower Canada is said to be on the verge of a revolution. The House of Assembly, in their address to the Governmeni-in-Chief declares its determination not to lesume their functions under the existing constitution. The Provincial Parliament of Lower Canada was prorogued on the 4ih instant. We learn, fiom the Lexington Intel ligencer of the L2blh of October, that the city council of that place have subscribed one hundred thousand dollars towards the construction of the Louisville, Cincinnati, and Charleston Rail Road. The amount of individual subscriptions is not stated. The Balloon which lately ascended at Vauxhall, London, carried up six gentlemen nd two ladies besides 336 pounds of ballast. It is calculated that 127.000.000 of silk worms have toiled through their brief existence to spin the quantity of silk that wassed in its construction.
The Banking capital in the United
States a ear since, was two hundred
and nineteen millions two hundred and
fifteen thousand five hundred and forty
six dollars. At present it is supposed
to be more than three hundred million.
A plan has recently been adopted of
covering hou-es in NVw York, with
heet iron, whit!:, fr durability, Irengfh, tightness, and lightness, is
aid to be superior to any other mode.

We had the pleasure of partaking of the

Their yielding hearts and joining hands, Find blessings twisted in their hands, To soften all their cares.
A NOBLE INSTANCE OF HOSPITALITY'. Pens vcol v, Oct. 15. The sick of the army operating against the Seminoles were sent from Suwannee old Tow n, in the United States steam boat American, to the number of one hundred and ten. Their destination was to this place, but, when near St. Joseph, the steam boat met w ith accident which compelled her to put into that port for repairs. At the moment of her arrival, the ladies of St. Joseph were about to set off on a party of pleasure. They no sooner became acquainted, however, with the situation of t he gallant defenders of their country on board the American, than, with one accord, they postponed their pleasure party, anddevoted themselves to the duty of alle iating the sufferings of the sick. The entire building lately erected for a hotel by Col. Beveridge, was given up to them, and the generous strife was who should do most for the sufferers. Every family contributed something. We are gratified to add, that when we last heard from them, the sick w ere doing well. Steamboat blown up. We learn
from the Cincinnati Evening Post of
the 6th in-t. that the Steamboat .Nicholas Biddle,onher way up from New
n.l.-ans. about hve miles below Mem-
phi?, blew up, by which accident, (for it is always accident, although in England they send people to Botany Bay for such accidents) five persons were instantly killed, fourteen or sixteen badly
jtinded, many of whom will not recover, and teiK.r twelve jumped over
