TRAGEDY AT THE FALLS. The sad end of poor AVERY at Niagara Falls of which we have already published some notices, seems to be invested with deep interest, so far as we can judge from extensive newspaper publications. On our first page this week will be found a most interesting account, as communicated by an eye witness to the <Albany Register>. We hardly know who will read descriptions of this tragedy with the deepest interest, those who have been at the Falls and know the place, or those who are strangers from personal observation to the awful grandeur and sublimity of every thing surrounding and connected with the great cataract. We

the localities, and to us each account we have read, has been invested with the deepest interest. We could almost see and suffer through the whole scene.

Most persons who have not been at the Falls are apt to confuse the subject into one great water-fall, and think of it only as

such. Whereas there are two distinct cataracts, separated by an island, and being about one-fourth of a mile apart, and forming precisely right angles with each other. The one, the Canada falls, fronting North; the other, the American falls, fronting West. At the head of each of these great cataracts is an extended aeries of rapids, which for grandeur and sublimity, to many persons, surpass that of the cascades themselves.— These rapids on the Canada side extend over a mile above the Falls, but on the American aide not quite so far. These falls and rapids are divided by Goat Island, and it was into the American rapids that the little boat containing Avery and a companion, late in the evening, was drawn. The companion was lost, while Avery was lodged on a log held by rocks under the water in

main cataract, and there discovered at daylight next morning. The terrific character of the scene during the following day must have exceeded anything ever witnessed in

'.«M WISH

So intense was the feeling and anxiety in the late case of Avery, that thousands, it is said, never left the spot nor tasted food from day-light in the morning until the last struggle and final catastrophe in the evening. ~~~~~~~

[Correspondence of tbe Baltimore Filli#} WASHISGTOH, July

31,1855.

Although there has been an abundance of rain hereabouts for several days past, yet the weaiher remains hot, and perspirtngly disagreeable* Nevertheless the oflice-seek-ers and poetical wire-workers are pouring into the pity in such strong force that one can keep count of them. They give never-ceasing trouble and uneasiness to the President and bis Cabinet ministers, neither one of whom finds himself, j®' now, reposing on abed of roses.

The officisl organ, the Union, too, is in very unquiet state of mind. It is shockingly disturbed th|t the Democrscy of the grest State of NeW York #ill ndt harraon^ ixe, but will go on qnarrelling aall dividing and splitting ssunder worse than ever. It is greatly perplexed that the Whiga of Kentucky, Tennessee, snd Georgia ate waking ap, •halting off their drowsiness, and resolving upon' another national triumph, provided the Whiga of all the other States will also wake up and co-operate with them. Another cause for the uneasiness of the official organ's mind is to be found, no doubt, in the "fixed fact" that a pew, powerful and Democratic daily paper js soon to Je started in this city by Beverly Tucker, Esq.. backed by at least one millionaire, vt

In this state of things, relative to the present and the future of modern Democracy, it may not be out of place to here give a rumor which I have heard several times repeated on tbe street, to-wit: that Mr. Jno. C. Riven, late of the firm of Blair dt Rives, who is known and famed for being a very shrewd political prognostics tor, has declared his firm conviction that the Whigs will elect the next President of the United States. If the rumor is not correct, Mr. Rives will be quite willing to say so. If it be correct, ft goes to show that the man who bet and won his thousands of dollars on Polk's beating Clay in 1844, but would not bet a dollar that Cass would beat Taylor in 1848, has bis eyes open in regard to the result of the Presidential election in 1856!

The National Intelligencer, as you have doubtless perceived with pleasure, is down, very sweet and complimentary, upon the Union for the adoption and advocacy, and also for the adoption and advocacy by the President and his Cabinet, of the good old Whig principles that the general Government may and ought to carry on measure* of internal improvement of such vast national importance as the proposed railroad to the Pacific.^ Evidently better times are coming, when a Democratic Administration and its official organ openly and boldly take up, as their own, and advocate a leading, a cardinal, a long-cherished measure of the Whig party.

I have observed, of late, in several newspapers, charges or insinuations, against the official character of the Hon. Thomas Butler King, whilst he was collector of the port Of Stin Francisco. Allow me to d& clare my unshaken helief that there is not one particle of truth in any of those charges or insinuations. Mr. King is noiy in Eu rope. JHe has bitter ^qemies, as what great and good man has not and they have taken advantage of his absence to elander and malign his character. Mr. King, in the benevolence of his great Whig heart, aided, as I happened to know, certain proffered Whigs to go to California and get establish ,ed there in the newspaper business. They got restive and ambitious, and turned to be the enemies of their benofactor. They came to Washington and slandered Mr. King to the President and Secretary of the Treasury, whilst Mr. King was still performing his duties as collector in California.

At length Mr. King resigned his post and came to Washington, and met and refuted all the charges against him. His slanderers, for the time being, held their peace.— But so soon as they learned that he had landed on the shores of Europe, they renewed their sttscks upon him. "Cease, vipers, you bite a file." POTOMAC.

The New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times gives the following: 'Gov. Wood went to Washington for the purpose of declining the appointment of Consul to Valparaiso, but wss assured by the President that it is the best office within the gift of the Administration.— He showed the Governor his privste memorandum book, containing a list of alt the foreign offices, with their respective emoluments, and this consulate heads them aH, with perquisites amounting to twenty-five thousand dollars per annum. Tbe Governor has held high offices of trust in the State of Ohio, with the endorsement ofits citizens by twentysix thousand majority. But all this has been honor, very little profit. Uence he is comparatively poor—this office will make him rich. With these arguments he was induced to accept the appointment. His family go with him, together with General Merwin and lady. They will leave New York via. Pana ma, about the 20th of July* Whilst, upon the subjcct of thii Consulship, 1 will relate an incident that is not generally known to the people of the United States. About two years ago, Franklin Pierce made application for that office, aad had assutanceof his appointment he told his wife, and she declined going —he therefore let It drop, stating very frankly the reasons, im

Whether she was gifted with the power ot looking into the future, and saying 'which grain would grow and which would not,* I cannot say-—but her refusal made him President. This I have from the beat a»thoriiy—the President himself. ssiu

JBABOAIM AHD SALB.-^-Aaaffairin which battnees, courtship afad mairimony were cens&erably mixed up and conglomerate#eap6t olTia Chaiauque county, not long since. A young man of 'respectable connections,' though, as the sequel proves, not very scrupulous in honesty himself, had been in the habit of 'setting up* with two young ladles, both living !n the same neighborhood—alternating between them—one Sunday night with Lydia, and the next with Marindalp In the duicdurse oPfeourtship---so JMuralJy does tbe strfairtpflove flow towards the great gulf of mairimony he found himself positively engaged to botlf, sjad with one of |bem appoint*! a day for the cdniu^tatiini of tlwi# union. iTBe marriage waa to be kept a profound secret untH the 'knot' wis actually tied, but it aeeme that through the leakage of some of the invited guests, the news of the projected wedding reached the ears of the rival candidate for matrimony.— Of course, a deuce of a 'ureeze* was the result. The two laides disputed titles, each prepared to prove a bonafide matrimonial contract between herself and the double dealing- lover. The 'old folks' finally took the matter up, and quarreled with a great deal of fire and enthusiasn in behalf of their respective daughters.

Thus thef affair stood for several days, the young scape-grace of a lover owning up, mow)wbile that he was in a tight placeji^Ife'appdinted a day in which lie was to be married to Lydia, and at the same time tvas solemnly engaged to Marinda. He acknowledged his dupli* city—plead guilty to the charges ofboth of tho young Isdies. What was to be done! Happily, for him, he was at length enabled to settle the affair in a very business likei manner. He proposded to the fathers of the damsels that to settle the dispute, he had finally conclu ded to marry the girl whose father would give him the most property! Lydia's father did not make a bid—but Mariada's offered to deed to his daughter, bdfore marriage, his entire farm, with ilia exception of a single acre, occupied by the homestead, and that he would wUI to her. This did not satisfy the rascally lover. ,IIe insisted upon he farm being deeded to Aim before marriage as a 'condition precedent' to the nuptials.— Such conditions were finally complied with* The parties were married about three weeks 6ince. This story is literally true. The foolish old man swapped off a good farm fora son in law that isn't worth the poorest half acre of bog-mead-ow oil the premises.—Medina Whig.

V.A

Goon ONB.—In a village not a thousand miles from this city, a married man asked a neighbor, about nine o^clock one night, to go with him to a grog shop for a smile. The pair repaired to the refreshment place, the liquor waa set before ihem, and tho smile regularly sugared, when a hand was seen, which terrified one of the parties as much as the mysterious hand and writing ou the wall did Belshuzzar, and the hand grasped one of the tumblers. '1 will take a smile, too,' said the wife, the owner of the hand! The three drank together, and the spunky woman sat down with the two friends, expressing a determination to drink as much as her husband did. It is a dangerous lesson, but a forcible one, and on** which the husband will not be likely to forget, or the friend who accompanied hitn either.— Madison Courier.

^STATUE

WASHINGTON.—The Pres

ident has just completed a contract with Ciark Mills, Esq., for the erection in this city of a colossal bronze equestrain statue of George Washington, according to the terms of the act of last Congress. The statue is to be similar in style to that of Andrew Jackson by the same ar* list. The contract is for $50.000—thai being the limit of appropriation—20,000 to be paid during the progress of the work, snd tbe remaining $30,000 at its completion By the terms of the contract the work is to be completed for the sum named. Ofcourse the President could not go beyond the appropriation made for the purpose but the gifted artist undoubtedly will lavish his utmost patience and skill upon this subject, regardless of time or cost, relying upon the future generosity of Congress to reward him amply for the fruit of his genius and toil if the present appropriation shall not be sufficient. The country on such an occasion will be satisfied with nothing less than the best effort of Amefi^an genius.

Pennsylvania company have set up a claim to the whole of the Western Reserve of Ohio, under a grant from Connecticut, alleged to have been made after the year 176£, when Charles 11. granted to that colony a patent for the Reserve. In 1795, it will be remembered, she sold the Reserve to another company, relinquishing all claim to jurisdiction over the territory to the United States in 1800. These Pennsylvania parties to-day applied to the General Land Office to make them patents for all tbe Reserve! The officer replied, we learn from pariies interested in the speculation that the government never having had a claim to or proprietorship over that territory, they cannot entertain the application and that the State of Connecticut is the party to whom the Pennsylvania company must look for redress, if they realty have rights involved in the case.

Lucky aad Ualucky Days. The belief in lucky and unlucky days is one of the most prevalent of human superstition. Thar# Ire tUces of it among all the nations of antiquity, and some of more recent date. 'The 14th of the first month was esteemed auspicious|^ by the Jews, because7!* ended their captivity in Egypt. On the other hand, the 10th of August was ill-omened for on that day the first temple waa destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, and the second by Titus, six hundred years after. The Romans would never undertake any business on the 13th of February, (Dies Alliensis,) which was the anniversary of die battle of AHia, when the nation was almost annihilated by the Gaula. The Carthagenlana had the aame superstition •bow the fSd of August. Louis XI. of France esteemed it an evil omen if any one spoke to him on JbusiofRt on Innocent's Day.

There have been some remarkable coincidences of days in the lives of disiin guished men. The same day of the month has not unfrequently been the day of birth and of death, and the da'e of some memorable event. Alexander the Great was born on the 6th of April. On that day he won two of hia most important victories, on that day he died. On that day his father, Philip, conquered Potidea, and on that day Parmenio, Philip's General overcame the lily rians. Pompey tbe Great was born and died ou the 30th of September and on the same day triumphed on his return from Asia. Augustus was adopted by Juliua Caesar on the 19ih of August and on the J9th of August he died. The wife of Henry VII. was born and died on the lhh of February. Sir. Kenelm Digby was born and died on the 11th of June. He conquered at Scrnderoon on the same day. His epitaph commemorates the concidence: "Under this stone the matchless Digby lies.

Digby the great, the valiant, and tne wise This age's wonder for his noble parts. Skilled in six tongues and learned in all the arts Born on the dav he died—the eleventh of Jane— On which he bravely fought at Scanderoon.

Tis rare that one and sell same day should be His da] Ralle

of birth, of death, of victory.' sew as born and died on Good r'riday Shakspeare's birthday was also the day of his death, April 23d. The 24th of February was thrice memorable to Charles V. of Spain as the day of his birth, the day of his victory over Francis, King of France, and the day pn which he received the imperial crown at Bcnoma. Charles II, of England was born and restored to the throne on the 29ih of May. The 3d of September was marked in the history of Cromwell as the date of the victory at Dunbar, also of that at Worcester, and as the day of his death.

Days of the 'week have sometimes been signalized in a similar manner.— Tuesday was a day of note to Becket the English saint. On Tuesday the Lords passed judgment upon him at Northampton on Tuesday he went into exile on Tuesday he had a vision in which his doom was foretold to him on Tuesday he returned from exile on Tuesday he died, and on Tuesday was canonized.— Wednesday was the lucky day of the celebrated Pope Sixtus V. It was the day of his birth, the day on. which he took orders, the day on which he was made General of his order, the day on which he was created Cardinal, the day on which he was elected Pope, and the day on which he was inaugurated.— Heriry VII. called Saturday his fortunate day, as that on which he gained the battle of Bosworth, and that on which he entered London. It is remarkable thaf four of the Tudors in succession died on Thursday, beginning with Henry VIII. the second, and ending with Elizabeth, the last of the line.

Ancient calendars designate two days in each month as unfortunate, namely, of January the first and seventh, February the third and fourth, March the first and fourth, April the tenth and eleventh, May the third and seventh, June the tenth and fifteenth, July the tenth and thirteenth, August the first and second, September the third and tenth, November the third and fifth, December the seventh and tenth. Each of these days was devoted to some peculiar fatality.— Whether the change of "style" inrtrodu* ced towards the close of the last century by deranging thei calendar order, has affected the character of these days, we are unable to say. For oui own part, we egree with Hefaclitus, who blamed Hesiod for calling some day lucky and others unlucky, as not discerning that "the nature or every day is the same." And we heartily subscribe to the saying of St. Paul, who, after mentioning that "one man esieemeth one day above another esteemeth every day alike," adds, "let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."-— Christian Enq.
