Board, dated Pera (COnstantinOple) April 30, 1880, is published in the Utica American Git izen, from which we quote the following par agraph:

 "I4ast Friday I had a fine view of the Grand SeigniOr himself, as he was going to and from the mosque. Five or six thousand troops were out upon the occasion. and on each side of his person was line of soldiers with drawn swords. and behind him body of soldiers with mnskets and bayOnets fixed. Before him, eleven beautiful Arabian horses were led, richly caparisoned, and each guard ed Oy two soldiers with drawn swords. He was on horseback. The breast of his coat was fhiekly wrought with jewels and gold. and liis cap, which was of beautiful red, was sci with diamonds, and from the top < long gold tassel hung around its side. He wore black cloak of rich broadcOth over his dress, so that we could see but little of it. His saddle and bridle trimmings were very heavy, and all Of gold. He has very solid and intelligent countenance, and piercing eye. We were very near him, and he gazed at us some time as he passed. He has cer- tainiy accomplished wonders by way of re- form, during his reign thus far, and have no doubt he is the greatest man that now sits upon throne. Would that he were good as he is great! It is heart-chilling to reflect up- on the quantity of blood he has been the in- strument of shedding among his own subjects, to say nothing of his cruelties to the Greeks. It is supposed that by his order, at least sixty thousand persons have been beheaded or strangled. This includes the Janisares. thirty thousand of whom were massacred in one day."

 John Quincy Adams.-The name of this man is no longer familiar thing on the lips of the American people. They who once lifted up their voices to praise him or to cen sure him are silent. He is forgotten. New candidates for adulation and abuse are be- fore the eye of the public-and his friends and his enemies are now too busiIy engaged in another strife of party to remember the . man who but two short years ago was the rallying point of one great party--and the victim of another.

 Yet, forgotten as he is, this country has not, at this moment-and never--neyer, in the days of her greatest glory, has had, purer patriot, more virtuous citizen. or more dgnifed and praise-wOrthy statesman, than must allow him the possession of rare and stern virtues-principles worthy of the best days of the republican, unbending integri- ty--and perseverng and even painful atten- ton to the duties of his high station. Amidst the persecution and abuse to which he was subiected-the fiery ordeal through which the great and glorious spirits of our country pass-he pursued the even tenor of his way neither turning to the right hand nor the left-scrutinizing friend and foe with the same impartial severity-extending the offices in his gift, to men whom he believed capable of filling them with credit to themselves and their country, without party distinction or person al motive. He acted for the country-not for party-and the lesson of Government which his example affords, may be, safely, and we venture 10 prophecy will be, hereaf- ter, made the test and the standard whereby to judge of the purity of future Administra tions.

 Posterity will dosjustice to the late Chief Magistrate of the United States. His mem- ory will be cherished as a holy thing in the bosoms of the patriots of future generations. He will occupy an enviablc place in the histo- " of our times. The fame of the warrior is not his-the earthquake murnur of battle has never rung in his ear-the incense which burns in the pathway of the conquer0r has never ascended before him-but greater and loftier tribute--the reward of higher ser vice, awaits him hereafter :--and even now, he has the animating consciousness that those who stood by his administration and approv- ed his doings, were patriotic in their support, and sincere in their approval-that they were IuuucuCC0 Oy uo uVVG VI VT izement-but solely by their earnest love of country. and their admiration of virtue, integ- rity and ntellect.-Whittier.

 Distressing Casualty.-On Monday last poor woman arrived at our borough in quest of her husband who was employed in this vicinity. After alighting from the stage, she proceeded down Centre -street with her two children, the eldest boy about three years of age, walking at her side. When opposite our office the child unconsciously strayed from it's mother into the street, and was run over by a cart loaded with dirt and stone and almost instantly killed. It was truly pain fll spectacle to behold the half frantic moth- ar in land of strangers, weeping over the lifeless body of her infant. without friend to share her sorrow or administer words of con- solati0n to her agonized heart. The accident is attributed to carelessness on the part of the diver, as he was not near his horse when the accident occurred.-Jour.
