A writer in a Virginia paper devotes three columns to describing the great Blue Ridge Tunnel. We hardly know which is the greatest bore, the tunnel, or the description of it. W. H.

A party of our friends, last week chas ed a fox thirty-six hours. They actually ‘‘ ran the thing into the ground/' The New York u Evening Post" says a man “ cannot be active and quiescent at the same time." There may be some doubt of that.

A sister of Charity was suspected of hav ing administered the dose. ' A. K. says that he expects to be able in a short time to pay everything that he owes in this world.

A Rocky Mountain correspondent of the “ New York Post,” who writes him self “ Henry E. Land," describes Oregon as the most delightful country in the world.

The Ohio River is getting lower and lower every day. It has almost ceased to run. AJI who look at it can. at once per ceive that it exhibits very little speed, but a great deal of bottom. A young widow baa established a pistol gallery iu New Orleans. Her qualifica tions as a teacher of the art of duelling are of course undoubted ; she has killed her man.

Flint was knocked down, but his companion escaped by flight. When the scoundrels hit Flint Spqrks flew. Mr. Williani Hood was robbed near Corinth, Ala., on the 13th inst. The Corinth paper says that the name of the highwayman is unknown, but there is no doubt that he was Bobbin’ Hood. A Mr. Bentley has becm indicted in Alabama for striking a stranger with an axe. He says that he didn’t know but that the stranger was a robber. He didn’t know, and so he axed him.
