!D~ A correspondent of

son" writing from''Copenhagen, describes some curious customs prevalent in that country.— „Wu clip the following: "There is another singular winter custom here, and one productive of a vast deal of labor. As soon as a snow has fallen, large numbers of hands are set to work to clear it from the streets, and it is absolutely taken up, almost the whole of it, and carted entirely out of the city! It is taken, not froru the side walks only, but from the roofs •'nf all the house*! The city is divided into wards, and each, of these are put up at publje au9tionji11J.be fall of the year, and let to the lowest bidder, to the man who will undertake to keep it free of snow for the least money.— ^These contractors have this year the promise

1 NEW DRY GOODS IIOCSE.—We hnppem-d hi a Iday or two since at the extensive dry goods establishment of Messrs. Shaw, Buell fc Barbour,

Pearl street. They have a large stock of foreign nnd domestic dry goods, importing many of their articles direct from Europe, and having Wery facility (one of the partners residing in the city of New York) for obtaining the new styles and choice patterns of the home market.

These gentlemen, formerly engaged in business at Madison, Ind., bring with thern to our 'city all the facilities for transacting a large -wholesale business in their line. •. We clip the above from the Cincinnati GaCetto. Shaw, Quell dc Barbour have*been, for

their business,'have every facility for importing and buying on tlio very best terms, and they take great pleasure in showing their stock to those in want of goods.

Now if any Appelles, or artist of any appellation, wished to make the most indubitably perfect representation of ugliness, he would not be compelled to take features from several very ugly persons, but all lie would have to do would be to get Bennett's face, and the enterprise would be accomplished."

ID" It will be seen in another column, that the Nebraska bill has passed the Senate. That was to be expected—but its fate is very doubtful iti the House. Should it by any species of corruption or legerdemain be made to pass there, the reaction from the "sober second thought" of the people, will be terrific. The head of many a politician, who like Cass, now exults over the gigantic fraud, will roll in the dust. *-r:

O* The Cincinnati Enquirer, in noticing the paragraph that is going the rounds of thepapers, Stating mat mm am ts the tranner cumrty of ignorance in this State, says:

The county above ly^mcd, is one of tKe feW strongholds remaining to the whigs of Indiana, giving even General Scott, at the last Presidential election, nearly three hundred majority. As the whigs usually insist that the great mass of ignorance is on tho democratic side, it is well that the fact should be stated.

To be sure, the vote of Putnam has recently been with the whigs, but it is equally true that the county used to be one of the most strongly democratic in the State. The reason of the change is not at all strange or inconsistent, as the Enquirer thinks. Institutions of learning havo been at work in Putnam, and as ignorance lias disappeared before the progress of intelligence, democracy has decreased and whiggery has increased till the latter has very naturally gained the ascendency. Nothing singular or contradictory is noticeable in the change.—Madison Banner,

[rMDAT'8 PROCEEDINGS CONCLUDED ]f_ The Senate continued ill session all night, and at 5 o'clock this morning ti» Nebraska bill passed. The rote stood 37 yeas to 14 nays. The debate was very warm and exciting, and high words passed between Messrs. Wade, Chase, Seward, Sumner and the advocates of the bill. Mr. Chase characterised the bill as a bid for the Presidency on the part of uglas replied in reference to" Mr. Chase, and saia that he (Douglas,) has

its author. Mr. Don

never held any office, nor did he get to the Senate by corrupt bargains—he bad never got to the Senate by patting his principles, character and honor up at public auction for votes —he owed his place fo no corrupt bargain or coalition.

Mr. Weller—But others do. Mr. Chase—Do you say 1 came here by corrupt bargain?

Mr. Douglas—1 object to all interference in his matter. Mr. Chase—Do you say I came here by a corrupt bargain?

Mr. Douglas—I said the man who charged me with having brought in this bill as a

Did

for the Presidency, did come here by corrupt bargaiu. Did you meam me If so, I mean yon.

Mr. Chase—I say to the Senator that if he says I came here by corrupt bagain, he says that which is false.

Mr. Douglas—It will not do to retract the charge of falsification. Having made false statements with respect to me and my motives, 1 have given him two opportunities to withdraw it, and he has not had the manliness to

consider the ambition to be President, an unworthy one, and reference was not made in any offensive sense towards the Senator.

Mr. Weller defended Mr. Chase from the charge of corruption. Mr. Chase said he was party to no arrangement, and none existed. There were three parties in the Legislature—Whigs, Freesoilers and old line Democrats, and ne received the votes of all of the old line Democrats and Democratic Freesoilers, he received no Whig votes.

Mr. Sumner sharply replied to Douglas' imputations of having got to the Senate by unworthy means, ana said the Senator stated that which he could not sustain by facts, and said he never sought office, now, or in any way, nor was he a party, directly or indirectly to the effort which put him in his position.

Mr. Douglas replied aud Said the gentleman says he had nothing to do With the corrupt coalition and bargain by whith he was sent to the Senate. Oh, no, he did not steal the money, he only took it and piit it in his pocket.

The vote on the bill was then taken. The following are the nays: Senators Ball Chase, Dodg& rtf Wisconsin, Fessenden, Fish, Foote, Hanilin,. Houston, James, Seward, Smith, Sumner Wade, and Walker.

Messrs. Bright, Toonibs aii'a Miillory were absent by sickness bat they would have voted for tlie bill had they been present. Mr. Allen was absent by sickness in the family had he been present he WOuld have voted against the bill.

Messrs Phelp9, Pearce, Cooper, Everett, Clayton, and Wright did not vote. All the balance voted for it.

Mr. Cass congratulated the Senate on the triumph of the squatter sovereignty., Jt&j,

SHEEP AND SNAKES.—N. P. Willis, in his intercourse with some old farmer, has picked up the following item of knowledge "Wondering, that, in two years' acquainnce with so wild a place as the glen, I had seen but two snakes, ne said that snakes were slow to come back after they were once driven away. And sheep drove these away. Not thob the oho«p were the enemy of the snake, for they never took any notice of one, that he knew of. But a snake must be where he can sleep uninterrupted and, put a flock of sheep where you please, they will walk over all the ground they can get at—good feed in one corner of the lot making no sort of difference.— It's seeing a sheep everywhere the snake don't like."

At 2 o'clock to-day, the new steam boiler in Fales A Grey's Car Factory exploded, destroying the blacksmith shop and engine room and badly shattering the main building. There were over one hundred persons in that part of the building at the time of the explosion.— There was a terrific wrenching of powerful machinery and breaking large timbers, prostrating the walls and roof) and burying the workmen beneath the t'uius.

Citiaetls dtid flr&iien wtre quickly on the spot rescuing sufferers. 3T* Nine persons instantly killed, seven died subsequently, and many others badly iujured, some of whom will probably die.

The boiler was a new one of 50 horse-pow-er, and built in the best manner.

The scene is the most heart-rending imaginable. Hundreds of the wives and children of the workmen rushed to the spot.

The excitement spread to the schools in the south district, attended by the children of the workmen, which were dismissed at once in consequence of the distress of the children.

The victims were horribly mutilated and in some instances, hardly recognizable. At 5 o'clock they were all extricated.

STEAMER NASHVILLE.

It is now admitted that Dr. Gardiner did commit suicide. Upon entering his cell after returning from Court, he was observed to take a swallow of water, throwing his head back, when it is supposed he took a strychnine pill. He was seized with convulsions almost immediately. After giving a letter to his brother Charles, he remarked, he was going before a Judge who would not pronounce him guilty. Ho expired in great agotvy. His corpse remains in jail. lie was 36years of age, and had the manners and indications af a gentleman. £in»

I^Gen Cass has commenced bristling up against England again. In a late speech of Lord Clarendon, allusion was made to the present state of amity and alliance existing between the Governments of Great Britain and France, in which his lordship said that "there was no part of the world in either hemisphere in regard to which they were not in perfect accord." The Michigan fillibuster takes fire at this remark, and says in so many words— "This means Cuba—it means any place where we wish to procure the acquisition of territory." His speech closed with the following explosion of smoke:

FrdttCe and England have said what they would do. Have we ever said that we were dissatisfied What ground have we taken I would let them know exactly what we would do—that is to say, I would let them know what our rights are. What we would do at a particular moment will and most depend on the circumstances of the case. But I would tell them what our rights are." ifx

Isn't that CMS, all over

AAaox Buax's Wirt.—The Paris Patrie, of a late date has the following: "At the last Tuillerles ball, the brilliant toilette of a stranger, With an incredible number of diamonds, attracted the attention of all present. In a moment the attention was changed to the most intense curiosity, when Louis Napoleon was observed to accost the lady, and remain some momenta in conversation. The enigma was soon solved. The lady was the widow of Mr. Aaron Burr, formerly Vice President of the United States, with whom Louis Napoleon waa on terms of-intimacy whilst in that country, and at the end of fifteen years he had recognised the widow of his old American friend.

This probably alludes to Madame JUJCEL, the wealthy second wife of Col. Buaa, who obtained a divorce from him a few years previous to his decease. She owns a large landed estate on the Island of Malta."

E7* The last Terre-Haute Courier contains the first part of an interesting, scientific communication from Dr. Htnrr, of this city—discussing the question as to what latitude is best calculated for restoring health to certain classes of invalids. The remainder of the article, we presume, will appear this week.

tT One of oar exchanges saysi "The tailors of Hamilton, Upper Canada, hating 'struck' in consequence of the introduction of sewing machines, a reinforcement of fifty of the craft from Tankeedom arrived to supply their places. The striker* made each demonstrations that the new-comers found it necessary to their health and happiness to retorn to Uw land of doughnuts and democracy with all convenient haste."
