«Hy, says the New York cortespondentof the
Boston Ledger, that tinged bo little merriment,
and any amount of chagrin., A large and mis
eellinaoua assortment of trunks, packages,
ife., had accamnlated at the Adams £x
tlipiHß offiee, vhich the agent was desirotu
M cleaning out;—Avery large crowd gathered,
add the bidding was very animated, as It was
shej£rrf «Cx>f the kind that had taken place. —
As the bidders became possessors, the excite*
atert'igrew intense, and a mah would be made
expecting'to see the owner open bis parcel. In
most instances the buytr would hold on, and
febep the satisfaction ofhia bargain to himself;
bat occasionally an opening would occur, either
to create a good laugh or dissatisfaction among
the crowd. One of the first to make his por
ch ase was a party who. had a small package
nicely sealed, which, on opening it, proved to
bp a.small gold watch and chain, for which he
paid four dollars sad a half. This was a per
fect jOodl, for all similar packages were run np
ip almost incredible amounts. After a hot con
test, a parcel similarju site was purchased by
pi gentleman for $l3 60, who with eagerness
opened it, exposing to the crowd a small da
guerreotype of a sentimental young gent, which
originally cost about fifty cents. Two mysteri
ous packages were sold at seven dollars and fif
ty cents each, which, on being opened, contain
ed each two bottles of Dr. James’, whose sands
of life hare nearly run out, and many even more
ludicrous bargains. One party expended some
thing over one hundred dollars, obtaining for it
about four dollars in value, and I am told he
has sued the firm for restoration.
1 Thomas Burnside—James Vetrikbn—James
T. Hale.— The' elder Judge Burnside presided
in one of the Courts pf Pennsylvania when the
memorable ease of Parsons va. Parsons was on
trial. James Petrikeu, Esq., was one of the
counsel; assisted by James T. Hale, Esq. Hale
Was speaking, and having made a strong point,
Which the Court challenged, ho said that he
could sustain it by citation of cases from the
iqooks, but he had Lett them at bis office close
by.
“ Why did yon not bring your books here ?”
asked the Judge.
| “Because I considered the point so plain as
not to: need the support of other coses; but I
.will step over and get the books.”
: As Mr. Hale left the house the Judge, in a
pet, said : “ That man reminds me of a carpen
ter Tho came to work for me, and left all his
tools ,ot home. The Court more
law than that young man knows.”
;; “That,” said Mr. Petri ken, “Jp just what we
complain of—that your Honor Acs forgotten too
much /” -
{ The case of Parsons vs. Parsons was brought
by one brother ogainst another, for the purpose
df breaking their father’s will, which cut off
Abraham, the elder brother, without a cent,
giving all the property to Samuel, the young
er. ' This Samuel was a stout, broad-shouldered
Pennsylvania farmer, well-dressed and portly,
showing himself to be somebody ; while Abra
ham was a lank, lean, ill-favored man, with
thin and thread-bare clothes in bad weather.—
Mr. Pctriken, counsel for poor Abraham, as
;ked a witness, “ what is the relative wealth of
the two brothers ?”
| The opposing lawyer jumped up and objected
to the question'. “It was of no consequence
who was richer or who was poorer; it was a
question of low.”
■ Petriken saw that the question would not be
allowed, and calling out to his client, said
“ Abraham, stand up by the side of Samuel.”
Abraham planted his thin figure, in shabby
Cloths,; by the side of the corpulent, well dressed
brother, and Petriken cried out to the jury.
Now compare the parties. 1 ’ The effect was in
stantaneous and complete, and far better for
Abraham than any evidence of witnesses as to
the aniount of his property. The jury gave him
a verdict; and, law or no law, ha got half of bis
father’s property.— Harper’s Magazine.
' Attempted Murder and Suicide. —The Har
risburg Patriot of Tuesday has the following;
V Middletown was the scen£ of a most distres
sing tragedy yesterday afternoon. Dr. Barr,
Coroner, received a dispatch to come down
Speedily, and obeyed the summons. The cir
cumstances of the tragedy are these: A man I
Darned Annanias Nichols, who has been in the
employ of Edward Fisher for a number of years,
was in the stable when Mr. Fisher went there
to call him to dinner. As Mr. F. turned to go
towards the house, Nichols started after him
with a large stick, which he had been using in
mixing feed for the horses, striking Mr. Fisher
several severe blows over the head, making hor
rible gashes. Mr. F. retreated, followed by
Nichols, who, however, did not at that time
again attack him; but while be was in a stoop
ing posture, washing the blood off his head,
Nichols raised the club to deal another deadly
blow. : Mrs. Fisher, who had been confined to
her room for some lime by severe indisposition,
was farmed by the children exclaiming, ••An
•nanias. is killing Pup !” She rushed to the win
dow and started to Mr. Fisher, when Nichols
immediately dropped the club, and, rushing into
: the kitchen, seized a batcher knife. He then
■■rim into Mr, Fisher’s woods, near the SwaUrn,
where, he plunged the knife into his abdomen,
and ran into the stream. From this he came
jout, again inflicted wounds with the knife, and
■ again rushing into the stream, drowned himself.
“ The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was, that
the man Nichols had come to his death by the
■ means, above related, daring a temporary fit of
iinsanity.”
■ Suggestion from a Ladt. — A lady corres
pondeht advises on the subject of wear;ng Loops
and lifting ,up dreises, says“ The hoops
should, be near together, say two or three inches
apart, and come to within as many inches of
■the feet or. the bottom of the dress. A word
about the management of dress In the first
place, in going up stairs yob need only lift the
front Of your dress, and in descending, the back
part ojf your skirts. The front part ofyonr
dress ,ican by no effort be soiled in descending,
neither can the back' part, by ascendinga pair
of' stairs. Do, therefore, have a reform in this
to my mind immodest habit you have heedlessly
gotten into, of dragging your dress behind yon,
ip going down stairs, and lifting it up in front
instead.
'Tomatoes.— The following method of prepa
ring tomatoes for the table, we are assured by
'one , w|io has made the experiment, is superior
to anything yet discovered for the preparation

I Take good ripe tomatoes, eat them in slices,
;ar.d sprink over .them finely pulverized white
/sugar,: and then add- Claretwine sufficient to
jcorer them- Tomatoes are sometimes prepared
Jin thisjway with diluted vinegar, but the claret

Near Peoria, Hl.,a man was fixing an old '
cistern, and it seems there was a piece of plank
With outs end ptrtiiUy imbedded in the earth,
that somewhat incommoded him, so seising it,
with some exertion, he pulled it oUtand threw
it to the top. What was his hororand surprise
at toe next moment, to find ■ that J»e hnd un
earthed an enormous raUlesn*ke,»hd himself
without a weapon in his hand.
'\ As the; cister was round, and baljr about B**
feet in diameter, be could not'jump out* and
the make, bristling "with anger, and rattling de
fiance, was ready for buttle. His screams
brought his wife to the scene, but she was so
overcome with (right that she became powerless
to render any assistance. The snake in the
meantime, had commenced the fight, making re
peated springs at him, bat fortunately he man
aged, on each occasion, to hit him upon the
head with his boot, without receiving a bite, the
snake all the time becoming more defiant and
enraged- During the whole scene, which lasted
several minutes, toe man did not lose bis pre-
I sence of mind, but, watching hie chance, made
several frantic efforts to jump bodily from this
seemingty pit of destruction. At the last trial,
he fortunately grasped a brick, which gave way
with him, and remained in his band, as he
again stood fronting his enemy
After a few more kicks, and'watching his op
portunity, lie fired it, making probably one of
the best shots on record, for it struck the snake
on the head, and between the oufe sent and the
wall, he became a “ pretty well used up esrpint ”
Weak and exhausted, our hero, by the assis
tance of his wife, was enabled to clime from the
pit, bat when once more upon the earth he
fainted away, and it was some time before he
recovered. For several succeeding days he was
quite unwell, owing, probably, to the poisonous
| effluvia inhaled, while bis desperate exercise in
i the encounter rendered him exceedingly lame.
; The snake was afterwards taken from the cis
| tern, when it was found to measure seven feet
in length, and contained thirteen rattles! The
| latter have been preserved, and are placed in
| ShoafTs Museum for exhibition.
Hard Times Out West.—The Eddyvillc
(Iowa) Commercial says;
It is useless to deny or attempt to conceal the
fact This region of (he country is destitute of
the necessaries of life. The stock of food for
man and beast is about exhausted. There is
perhaps, corn enough to feed those who are- un
able to buy flour; but they have not the means
to buy corn. It is in the bands of a few per
sons, and they will only sell for cash at a dollar
a bushel: Not one third of those who need to
buy corn have the dollar, or any means of get
ting it; for the money like the com, is out of
the reach of the destitute. Wo are no panic
maker, of this we feel certain and speak advisi
bly, that in thirty days from this time, unless those
who have a surplus agree to part , with it, on time,
at a fair price, it will be distributed and carried
away by bands of desperate men, to feed their star
ving families. This sounds terribly ; but it is
too near the truth, and men will not suffer
families to starve, when food can be procured
by going and taking it.
If the speculators who are hoarding up bread
stuffs here, in the hope of obtaining exorbitant
prices for them, owing to the European war,
would but send a few thousand barrels of flour
to these starving people, they (the speculators)
would feel muck better after it, than if they
bad “realized and put all their money in-a
bank. Try it, just for once.
A Jumping Match fob Five Hundred Dol
lars. —A great jumping match came off at Avon,
New York on Thursday of last week for §5OO
The Livingstoh Republican gives an account of
it as follows: About two months ago the mutch
was made, the jumping to be done at Avon, and
40 feet the distance. This did not come off,
but soon after, the match first above noticed
was made. The mqu produced for jumping at
both places is a youg man of about 22 years of
age, by the name of Robert Way, and who is
undoubtedly the greatest jumper of this or any
other country. This wager was $260 a side, on
thirty-seven feet at three standing jumps an
perfectly lever ground, which he did with
and it was the opinion of all present that he
could have cleared two or jhree feet more bad
he desired. Way jumps with great apparent
ease, and strikes his marks with utmost precis
ion, seeming to make at every jump whatever
distance be names. In addition to the above be
cleared twenty-seven feet and one inch at two
standing jumps—and at one single jump made
sixteen feet. This we believe, is the tallest
jumping on record Thirty-three and thirty
four feet .is' the most ever accomplished, and
has ever been considered as the most that could
be done on level ground, and standing.
A Negro Acting as Pastor fob White
People.— On Lynn Creek, Giles county, Ten
nessee, there is a Hardshell Baptist Church,
supposed by a number of wealthy communi
cants, who for several years past have had for
their regular pastor a negro named George
known as *• Bentley\old Gefige ” and belong
ing to one Matthew Bentley. George is said
to bo a most excellent man, and a good preach
er. Sometime ago, he Lad a note 1 public dis
cussion lasting four days, with a white preacher,
on the subject of Baptism, from wbich the white
man is*said to have come off "second best.”
The Church wants to buy George, but he is un
willing to be sold out of his master’s family,
and is withal a regular Southern, Pro Slavery
parson. George is the “preacher in charge” of
a large congregation, nearly all of whom are
Slaveholders and who pay him a salary of SGOO
or $7O J for his pastoral service. '
Another Tornado. — A special dispatch to
the St. Louis Republican, May 27th, from Jack
sonville, Morgan county, Illinois, states that
yesterday, a most t violent and destructive torna
do swept over the country, about half u mile
south of the city, desolating everything that lay
in its path.
Sixteen persons were killed, while a largo
number were severely wounded, a portion of
whom cannot recover.
Many houses and other buildings were torn
into atoms by the fury of the whirlwind, others
were overturned, and still more aud
otherwise shattered by the blast'
The cuttle in fields were killedJn great num
