OCCULTATION OF VENUS. A beautiful piece of coquetry and flirtation was carried on between Venus and the Moon on Wednesday evening last. Such an one as no person now living will be likely ever to witness again. It has always been a sort of disputed point whether Venus or the Moon holds the greater sway in a certain department. And we do not know .that the question was determined by any thing that took place on Wednesday night. The evening was serene and clear, and a full opportunity afforded to witness the scene. Astronomical calculation as published in eastern papers, had informed us that about twenty-two minutes before nine o'clock, Venus would disappear behind the dark and invisible limb of the Moon, and in twenty-four minutes after, would again <emerge> from the crescent in a westerly direction. The two bodies seemed to come

time specified. But that may have been only the difference of time east and west. Venus did not entirely disappear behind the Moon to our view in this region. They seemed to be in contact or merged for about twenty-four minutes, when Venus again separated and passed westerly under the

Moon. The site [sic] was indeed most beautiful and interesting. ~~~~~~~

THEATRE.—Within the week some accession has been mado to the company performing in this place. Miss Denin—McWilliams, Hough, Miller &c., are now announced on the bills. Miss Susan Denin is called the great American Tragic Actress and we think she well sustains the title.— Several excellent pieces have been perfermed this week. Among the number was Knowles fine play of the HUNCHBACK—a piece much admired in the East, and praised by all critics of taste and talent. The part of JULIA was admirably performed by Miss DENI5, who was also generally well sustained by the company. ,V:"-

WINTER AND SUMMER.—It used to be said that Winter occasionally, 'lingered in the lap of Spring.' But on this occasion there seems no 'lap of Spring' about it. Spring is no where. Winter held on at the rate of 30 deg. until the middle of April, when all at once, here came Summer to the tune of 70 and 80 of Fahrenheit. The weather, indeed, for several days has been tantamount to July. What is to be done? We are not willing to give up Spring. We want that gentle and genial transition of buds and blooms and breezes to correspond. The Almanac must be out of order. ~~~~~~~

"SAM" A MO KG THE SAO NICHTS.—The ^Mansfield Herald tells a good joke perpetrated by "Sam" in that city, at the recent election. The Herald says, '-Oar good German friends fought valiantly for the Sag SNicht ticket on Monday, and we were greatly surprised at the outburst of rage and vexation manifested by many of them, near the close of the day. But the riddle was soon explained. About half on the Sag Nicht ticket, were discovered to be Know-Noth-ings!'***

This great event took place in

the quiet village of Lexington, in Massachusetts. Lexington is situated in the county of Middlesex, about ten miles from Boston, and to reach which, from Boston, it is necessary either to pass through Charleston or Cambridge, first having crossed the Charles river. Concord is about six miles beyond Lexington, in the same county.

The British troops left Boston on the night of the 18th of April. Their object was to. penetrate as far into the interior as Concord, where there were a magazine of powder and warlike stores, and eitlier to destroy or obtain possession of them. They crossed the Charles river, and began their march. In the morning they had reached West Cambridge, six miles from Boston. The patriotic colonists suspected their purpose and made ready for the conflict. They met with little impediment in their march until they reached. Lexington, and there they found a few armed men, who had not the power to stay their progress, but they knew how to die for the liberties of their country The fight at Lexington is recorded in the early pages of our Revolutionary history.— The old common upon which they stood, the spot where they fell,"and the simple but sub stantial monument which covers their remains, are oftened visited by men who love their country and revere the memory of the patriot fathers. The names of Harrington and Monroe and their compatriots are carved upon the stone. Lexington is one of the most beautiful inland towns of Massachu setts. Within a quarter of a mile from the green and the monument, up a by-lane, shaded with old trees, stands the old parsonage its front doorway is choked up with lilac and other bushes on the left is rising ground covered with a wood on the right a swamp. Here it was that the patriots, John Hancock and Samuel Adams, secreted temselves to escape the vengeance of the mother country, when a price was set upon their heads, yf di

Mad Dogs.

The Brookville American says: Great excitement was prevailing in the vicinity of Mixerville, last Sunday and Monday, on account of the prevalence of hydrophobia to an unheard of extent. Our informant says that not less than six dogs had been killed while rabid, and it was unknown how many they had bitten. Two cows had died. A family had been using the milk of one, for three weeks that had elapsed since she had been bitten, not knowing that the dog was mad. Several hogs have also died, and it in feared that the worst has not yet been developed. Oihsr neighborhoods are in a state of alarm, for stray dogs have been snapping stock in various places recently.

WHAT IS A TON WEIGHT?—The Supreme Court of Pa. recently decided that according to the laws of the State a ton weight consisted of 2000 lbs., and that a greater number of pounds could not be legally exacted in purchasing a ton of coal, notwithstanding the custom of giving 2,240 in one part of the State, and 2,268 in another. The United States District Court, of Pennsylvania, decided in a suit in admiralty, that the legal weight of a ton of coal is 2,240 lbs., and that the coal dealers have no right to give less, than grocers would have to give less than sixteen ounces to the lb. ~~~~~~~

Another instance is recorded of a man living several hours after being shot through the brain. A post mortem examination mado on the body of Count Zingenhorn, who committed suicide in Albany, N. Y., on Thursday week, on account of unrequited love, disclosed the fact that the ball which he discharged, entered at the right side, passed entirely through the brain, and struck agninst the skull on the left side, when its force being spent, it sank down two or three inches. Still life was not extinct for eighteen hours afterwards.^'"

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, an Irishman employed on the Alton Railroad Train, fell from the cars, while in motion. He was run over by two wheels, mashing both legs. Amputation was deemed necessary, and performed by Drs. Clippinger & Evans. He is thought to be doing well. ~~~~~~~

CITT ELECTION,—By reference to advertisement it will be seen that thennnual municipal election is to be held on the first Tuesday in May next, for the election of Mayor, Councilmen, Treasurer, Clerk, Marshal, &c. die. A number of names are announced for the several offices. For Mayor, James Hook seems to be a prominent candidate.^ X*

EXTRAORDINARY FA*II.Y.—There is living within five miles of Louisville, a child that has a father and mother, grandfather and grandmother, great grandfather and great grandmother, great great grandfather and great great grandmother, aB living and in good health. So says the Louisville Courier.

Tare ADVENT BELUSI**.—The Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle learns that "considerable interest is manifested as the time fixed for some Adventists for the end of the world draws near. Ten of their converts were baptised on Monday noon. They expect to be caught up on the 19th proximo, while the earth and its inhabitants are burning up

The Kansas Election.

The great problem, whether Kaniie Is to be free or slave State, has beet) partially solved by the election which came off* in the Territory on the 31st ult. The pro slavery ticket is triumphant by an overwhelming majorsty, providing that the pro slavery feeling Is emphatically predominant. We know not how to account far it for previous to the election, swarms of settlers from the North, a majority of whom were supposed to have been sent out by Anti-Slavery Societies, and all of whom were counted on-as reliable Anti-Slavery voters, were passing up the Missouri river destined for Kansas.— Several thousand might be reaaonably set down as having passed by this city..* Yet not one Anti-Slavery Representative or Councilman has been returned to the Territorial Legislature, and that body is composed entirely of pro-slavery men.—SL Louis Intelligencer. --Is it possible that the Editor of the Intelligencer is willing to asvert that he knows not how to account for the result of the election in Kansas Does he not know that troops and droves of persons went armed direct from Missouri for the very purpose of taking possess ion of the polls, and controlling the election in Kansas 1 And that they did so control the election over the heads, and in spite of the settlers of the Territory. Is not this the fact 1 We wish to be informed if such was not the case.— Such is the report. For instance, where woo 8«im*r Atohlren, ond wt«» ko doing in teference to this election 1 Would not the bona fide settlors be two to one against the pro-slavery ticket, if not forced and controlled in their squat'

The New York Prohibitory Law has been signed by the Governor. Liquor in quantities less than five gallons cannot be sold in New York as a beverage after the first Monday in May. The penalties against it, until July 4th, will be those of the old law, and not of the new—that is, a forfeiture of $25 for each sale, and the liability to be in dieted for a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding $250, or imprisonment not exceeding six nnonths, or both. On and after July 4th, the penalties of the new law will attach, and the search and seizure clause will come in force. «»'".• *.i

.Property of Religious Societies. The Legislature of Michigan has passed a law concerning churches and religious societies, establishing uniform rules for the acquisition, tenure, control, and disposition of property conveyed or dedicated for religious purposes. It provides that all church property shall vest and descend, with the improve* in porpoluat rucccseiun to and •k.u u-h-u u» u«b trustees proviaeo in the act, in trust for said church, congregation or society. And also that ho bishop, vicar, rector, parson, curate, priest, deacon or other officer, in any church, religious body, order, society or association no superior or other officcr or member, male, or female, of any religious order, ecclesiastical or lay, nor of any ecclesiastical, educational, or charitable institution or establishment,

Liberian Colonization.

On first of May, the next expedition with emigrants for Liberia, will sail from Baltimore and Norfolk, hut in consequence of the exhausted condition of the treasury of the Colonization Society, the passage will not be free. Each emigrant will be charged $60, for which he will be conveyed to Liberia and supported there for six months.

The State of New Jersey has just appropriated $6,000 in aid of the cause, one half of which is payable during the present year, and the rest in three annual instalments of $1,000 each. The New YorkSocioty has received a Icgacy of $3,000, bequeathed to it by the late R. H. Nevins, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of New York. The Virginia Society has since its commencement sent to Liberia 3,093 emigrants, of whom 273 went in the year 1854, and 241 in 1853. These were the largest numbers sinco the beginning, except that of the yenr 1831, which was 292. The colored population of Philadelphia number at present 30,000 persons, possessing an aggregate of $2,688,693 in real and personal estate. During the last year they poid $9,766 52 for taxes, and $S96,782 for house, water, and ground rents. Such a population in Liberie would just now be of immense service to that republic. V-

Speaking of the weather and the crops in Texas, the Galveston News says: "There has been neither moisture nor warmth sufficieut for vegetation. Here, in many places, the seed has rotted in the ground, and even where it has sprouted, the growth has been checked by the severe cold, or entirely destroyed by the late frosts.

St. PjtTBisBtrio, Feb, 1065.—Before my letter reaches you, you will probsbly have received intelligence of a lots th«| will spresd a gloomy veil over all Russia for the death of such a man is a bhow that not only strikes his own country, but resounds from the shores of the whole world. In my last letter 1 did not openly declsre what we were expecting from day to day, for we were unwilling to accustom our hearts to an idea which our minds were incapable of conceiving The last days of the Czsr are a whole century in the history of Russia, and will never be forgotten by those who wit nessed them. Do not imagine that he was exasperated with his foes. Quite the contrary 1 Impartially, like a pro phet, he gazed upon the present situation of the different European powers, and predicted the future with the accuracy of ono who looks fur beyond the present. 'England,' said he, 'has reached her culminating point either for life or death. There is no middle point for her to pursue. One thing alone may save her, and that is a free confession, not only by the g"'*'i)ment, but by the whole aristocracy, made to the pcoplo, that they havo been absurd, from nrst to last, that the Crown is unable any longer to maintain its power, and that the people must rise and unite together as one man. to save the honor and preserve the independence of the country. A candid acknowledgement of the truth may even now save England, if her corrupt aristocracy can be brought to the stool of confession.— Fiance, on the contrary, can maintain herself only by falsehood and deception. The Emperor may proclaim to his sub«jects that he governs and influences the affairs of all Europe, that not a shot can be fired without his permission, and that France is the first power in Europe but a single shock, one speech of a demagogue may overthrow him and darken the star of Napoleon forever. I have offered him my hand, the hand of reconciliation, but he refused it. He wishes to avenge Moscow upon me, and St. Helena upon England. Short sighted man, who seeks to avenge the sins of the fathers upon the children As for Germ&ny, Austria and Prussia, they would not now exist, if I had not saved them, when they cronched at my feet six years ago they think to strengthen themselves in the mighty struggle between the other nations of Europe. But they never have been and never will be more than secondary powers, satraps holding authority by the clemency of my House, or by permission of the Western powers. Yet one consolation is left to me in the midst of all this ingratitude and villainy, and that is the silent sympathy of that high-hearted people on the other side of the Atlantic, the only hearts in which I hear an echo of my struggles ogain3t united Europe. Never have 1 forgotten the smallest kindness shown to me by the least of

These words may be of interest to you. my friend, because you are now living amongst the Americans and I men.ion them, knowing that your sympathies have bound you to a foreign land nearly half a century. One learns to recognize his true friends in the hour of danger, end you may rely upon it, that aslongasa Romanoff sits on Russia's throne, the American States will never need a friend.

The above, says the Bee) is a faithful and almost literal translation from the letter which is written in German, by one of the nobles of Courland. residing in St. Petersburg. From the source whence we received it, we have no hesitation in guaranteeing its authenticity.

TIIE CLAY MONUMENT.

'fjThe Lexington Observer of the 14th, says The committee of gentlemen from this and other States, designated for the purpose, assembled in this city on Thursday last, the anniversary of Mr. Clay's birth day, to select the plan for a monument to be erected over the remains of that venerated statesman. The committee was composed of some twelve or fifteen gentlemen, among whom we observed Messrs. Z. Collins Lee, of Baltimore, and Larz Anderson, of Cincinnati, who ore distinguished in their respoctive localities as gentlemen of great taste and cultivation in the fine arts.— Gov. Powell, of Kentucky, was present, and presided over the deliberations of the meeting.

Upwards of one hundred models were presented. For the purpose of enabling the committee to have a better view of them, the prosidem of the association procured the large and elegant ball room of the Broadway Hotel, 'ind had them all appropriately arranged therein

Most of the plans were fine specimens of art, and admirably designed, but 6ev« eral of them were very superior in arrangement and design. In fact, we understand the committee had no difficulty in coming to a conclusion as to the one which should be selected, and to which, of course, the premium of $500 should be awarded. They, 4owever, fiuaily determined to recommend the model presented by Mr. Hamilton, of Cincinnati,-which is a gorgeous Gothic structure, and, if finally adopted, will certainly make a monument worthy of the most iliustrioti* man of the age, and whose name «nd fame it is designed to sid in transmitting to future generations. The decision of the committee is not, however, final, as, according to the charter of the company, the .matter has to be submitted to the stockholders for iheir confirmation. Due notice of the meeting for that purpose will be given.

Camels for the V. §.

JLtmj

It will be recollected that by a recent act of Congress a certain amount was appropriated to enable the Secretary of War to try the experiment of Introducing camels on this continent as beasts of burden, and for military purposes. As the Navy Department have occasion to send stores to our squadron in the Mediterranean, the storeship, Supply, now at the New York ynrdv has been selected for this purpose, and on her return voy* age, wilt bring the camels. This vessel will be commanded by Lieut. David D. Porter, of the navy, and will take out Maj. Wayne, an officer of the Quarter master's department of the army, to pur chase the camels, and on her homeward voyage, will bring them to the United States. The vessel will be prepared with ail dispatch for sea. There is no doubt that the experiment of introducing camels as beasts of burden, and for mil itary purposes, in the south-western part of the country, will prove entirely sue* cessful. Their great endurance, ability to carry large burdens, and the length of time that they are enabled to exist without water, will render them a val uable adjunct to the army in the section of country, for which they are intended.

Washington Union.

GBEAT FiSHiNG.—Tho Burlington Free Press relates a new and unique mode of fishing, which has been su€ cessful ly tried in a trout stream of Northern Vermont. The discovery was made few days since by a wood-chopper in Hydepark. Being thirsty with labor, he chopped a hole ifi the ice of a mountain stream, and laid himself down to drink While in the act of imbibing the refresh ing fluid his nose was suddenly and un expectedly seized by a hungry leviathan of the brook, who buried his teeth deeply in the rosy protuberance, which he evidently thought was a savory morsel.— The astonished woodcutter, whose alarm endowed him withsuperhuman strength threw up his head with a jerk, and pulled out upon the ice a splended trout which weighed two and a half pounds/ Tho editor of the Free Press lias talked with a man who saw the lacerated and swollen nese, and vouches for the au themicity of the story.

'"Among other articles landed at the Brooklyn Novy Yard, on Friday, from the storeship Sonthapmton,' which arrived last week from the Pacific, is a Japanese barge, intended as a present to the President of the United States.— It is from 40 to 45 feet long, and the hull, which is built of cypress, or a wood very much resembling it, tapers forward to a sharp point, presenting a remarkoble fine* run. Accompanying the boat is a full set of sails and rigging. Altogether the barge is quite a curiosity, and well worthy the inspection of the curious.— The workmsnship is executed in a very superior manner, and would do credit to the most skillful of our mechanics.— Herseams require no caulking, the joints being so well fitted as to cause no danger

POSTAGE LAW.—The Postmaster of New York etates that the first two days the new law requiring letters to be pre-paid went into operation, there were an aggregate of six-ty-three letter* itiiiu uuy there were ninety-nine. They were put in by Btealth, and of course none of them forwarded. Seven of the number had postage stamps on, cut from stamped envelops, which are worthless when so transferred.

:THE NEXT EXPEDITION TO LLBEUIA.— The African Repository says "Our next expedition will sail" from Baltimore and Norfolk the 1st of May, when all applicants for passage to Liberia, the expenses of whose emigration and six months support in Liberia has been provided for, will be comfortably accomodated. The exhausted condition of our treasury prevents us from offering a free passage in this expedition to any applicants. Sixty dollars for each emigrant (the lowest average rate at which emigrants can be sent ond supported six months in Liberie) will be expected."

^SPECIE FOR THE CRIMEA.—We were startled a few days ago by the statement that seventy-five tons of coin had been engaged as a part of a cargo of a vessel, now loading here for Constantinople.— We learn to day that the shippers are anxious to engage forty-five tons more, having 120 tons to 6hip. Lest this heavy shipment of coin should alarm the Wall street financiers, we may as well add that it is all in kreutezers, (the copper coin of Germany, nearly equal in value to our cent.) and comprises a collection made probably from the money brought out by emigrants. It was taken by the vessel at eight dollars per ton, freight. When it arrives the Mussulmans will be well supplied with "small change." —Journal of Commerce.
