The result of the two groat Trade Book Bales, in
this oity and In Now York, justifies all that we
lately said about the Improved condition of the
publishing business in thlscountry. At New York,
the trade-sale renlizod about $150,000, and in this
city, after that groat harvest, books to the amount
of $lOO,OOO wore dtapoiod of In ilko manner.
This activity has given a great impetus to tho
business, and tho leading publishers, hero and
elsewhere, are busy in bringing out new works
some of them of groat impottanoo We bog “to
report progress.”
Childs and Peterson, of this oity, are so ad-
vanced with the Crltioal Dictionary of English
Litoraturo. and British and AiUoricnn authors,
living and dead, from the earliest accounts to the
middle of the nineteenth century, that thoy will
certainly be able to publish It before the end of
iB5B. It will consist of two volumes, eaoh of
1,000 pages, super-royal Bvo. The first volume
will contain from A to J, inolusivo. This is a
bibliographical, ns well as a biographioal diction
ary, and therein resonfbles no book yet pub
lished. It will contain from 30.000 to 40,000
biographies of authors, with almost innumerable
notices of their works. Mr. 8. Austin AlHbone,
who has devoted yoar3 to tho execution of this,
w6rk', and WbroedifehaffbetSh l^9 *n preparing
for It, has peculiar qualifications—as a fine crltio
o’ clear writer,' a well-read scholar, and a hard-
working manof letters. It is |ho oninion'.ef Mr.
Trubnor, tho eminont and learned bibliopole; (and
editor of “Ludewig’s Literature of American Abo-
riginal Languages,”) that, with ono exception In
Germany, there Is not so coinploto a collection of
bibliographical works in tho world ab. Mr. Alii
bono’s. It is far more completo and extondod than
that of the British Museum. Tho publishers will
bavo invested over $40,000, in one way or another,
upon Mr. AlUfeone’s great book, by tho time the
first Volume meets tho pnblio eyo. The European
sale will probably be os large os tho Amerioan.
It is a work wbioh will be necessary to all who
read, and indispensable to those who write.
Turning to New York, we poiceivo great activi-
ty among the publishers thero.
The Harpers have several books nearly ready
inotpding tbo oonoludrng volumes of Dr. Barth’s
Travels in Africa; Carlyle’s History of Frederick
the Great of Prussia; Park Godwin's History of
Franco; Abbott’s History of the Fronoh Revolu
tion/; Page’s Narrative of the Four Years’ Expe
dition toExploro the River La Plata'and Adjacent
Countries; the closing volume of Copland’s Modi*
oftl Dictionary; Henry St. John, Gentleman, a
novel of John Eston Cooke, of Virginia; and the
now Tolumo of Miss Strickland’s Quoons of Soot
land.
The Applotona are getting on very promisingly
with their new Amerioan Cyclopaedia, of whioh the
fourth Volume will soon appeal. This will be the
most complete dictionary of goneral knowledge
ever published in tho English language, superior,
as a work of reforenoo.to the Enoyoloprodia Britan
nica. Every article, large or small, is original.
Mr. Scribner, of New York, associating with him
Mr. Charles Wolford, (whose knowledge of foreign
bibliography is superior, perhaps, to that of any
other Amorican publisher,) is building up a large
English-books* business, in conjunction with their
American. One good point wo notice in their ad
vertisements—they put imported books at the
lowest paying rates, and in eaoh announcement of
a work, mention the prioo at wbioh they send it
free by post. Scribner A Co. have just published a
very readable volume, by Miss Anna C. Johnson,
called Peasant Life in Germany. Tho authoress
has travelled extensively through tho coun
try she describes, and hns obsorved much. It
may bo objooted, however, that she reports too un
favorably, on hearsay alone, of the morality of the
falx sex In Germany.

Thoro are isolated books promised or brought

important to be mentioned in this glance at what

way of now books, boro and in other cities.
At Boston we find considerable activity. Littlo,

AVe have only Boon the lißt of its principal con
tents, which is highly attractive. In general lite
rature, their latest issue is part of a now library
edition of Bhakspoaro, to bo oomplotod in twolve
Volumes.
Riohnrd Grant White (author of an Bvo, called
Sbakspoaro’s Scholar, published about three years
ago by Appleton’s of Now York) ia the editor, and
as far as can bo predicated from such of his labors as
have appeared, he is oxeouting his genial task very
conscientiously as well «s very ably. Tho oorne
dies have already appeared, most exquisitely
printed and otherwise got up, and tho whole work,
of whioh the twolfth and last volumo will contain
an original llfo of Shakspearo, is so far advanced
that it will bo wholly before tho publio b-foro the
close of 1859, if not cnrlior. Tho great moritsof
Mr. White are, first, that ho thoroughly under
stands hU subject l noxfc, that his heart Is In the
doiDg It nmplo justioe ; then, that ho avoids over
loading his author with commentaries; and,
lastly, that ho is amiably tolerant of all preced
log editors. Not only is Mr. White very
shrewd and sensible, but his tomporauiont is
sufficiently pootioal to tnako bis work on Shaks*
pearo litorally a labor of leva Wo notice
that in a noto on Midsummer-Night’s Droam,
ho says that until after Shakspearo wrote that
piny Puok was a generic name for a minor order
of spirits, and hla contemporaries spoiled it oithor
potato, pooto, or povto. Not having had the ad
vantage of being an Irishman, (whioh is his mis
fortune, not his fault,) Mr. White doos not know,
we suppose, that, to this day, in the fairy lore of
Iroland, the most mischievous of all tho spirits—
except the ardent spirit called Pothoon—is tho
Poo/cka. Crofton Croker’s Fairy Legonds and
Thomas Kelghtley’s Fairy Mythology amusingly
describe the feats, freaks, and frolios of this imp.
As Mr. White remarks, Shakspearo modified the
character of Puok when he identified him with
llobtn Goodfellow. W e believo that White’s Shak
speaTe will bo not only tho most beautiful of all
editions of the Immortal Swan of Avon, but also
tho most faithful and satisfactory.
Tioknor & Fields, of Boston, are preparing for
tho Fall season. Longfellow’s new poom, Tho
Courtship of Miles Standish, will bo published in
thooourse of this week. It is in the metro of
Evangeline—that motro whioh Southoy so much
loved, and the subject is one whioh will proba
bly make it even yet more popular than that ex
quisite Tale of Aoadie. The world of letters will
not forget, what the author himself has gratefully
declared, that, but for the diligenoe and seal ufcd
by Mr JamesT. Fields, himself a ohormlng writer,
in oolleoting his scattered writings, Do Quincy’s
A dmirable works would never have been brought
MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1858.
What our Publishers are Doing*
out, in any complete and satisfactory manner.
Tioknor & Fields have issued about twenty volumes
of Thomas Do Quincy’s writings, Allowing the
author to participate in tho profits. They have
just issued two popular works—George Augustus
Bala’s Journey due North, and the Rev. Charles
Kiogsley’s Sir "Walter Raleigh and his Time, with
othor papers. Mr. Sala was a leading writer for
a considerable time, in Household Words,
in wbioh periodical appeared some portion
of bis Journey to and bis Tour in Russia,
performed in 1856. Mr. Sala has a very Diokons-
Isb way of writing—he is usually smart, occasion
ally witty, and always amusing. He has no very
great liking for'Russia, bnt ho describes, very
spiritedly, wbafc he noticed there, and tho result
is a vory readable, and even sooiable book. The
new volume of Kingsloy’s consists of Miscellaneous
artiolos whioh appeared in the North British Re
view and in Fraser's Magazitie, with a Leoture
whioh was delivered at Edinburgh. A noblo life
of Raleigh at onoe opens and nom«B the volume,
but, to our taste, the papers upon North Devon aro
tho gems of the book. They oontain writing whioh
is like painting, so vividly does it bring men and
plaoes, and things before tho mind’s eye. Seldom
have wo road any pages more oloquent, and yet so
entirely unambitious. The book is got up in hand
some library form.
Noticing what Tioknor & Fields have done and
are doing, let us add that their Household Edition
of the Waveriey Novels rapidly approaches to a
dose. It is beautifully printed, as well as hand
somoly illustrated with engravings after original
designs by Barley, Faed, Mclan, Franklin, Bil
lings, Elmore, WandrFrank Stone, Blokes, Drum
mond, Frith, Molville, Birkett Foster, Egg, J.
Hayter, Soloraan, Cope, Howard, Taylor, De
Guimond, John Gilbert, and others. Tho entire
of Soott’s wonderful fictions havo thus boen pub
lished, at 75 coats a volume, except Woodstock,
Tho Fair Maid of Forth, Anne of Geeirstein, Count
Robert of Paris, The Surgeon’s Daughter, and
Costlo Dangerous This is tho neatest and
most portablo edition over published. The last
volumes contain, with minor stories, tho ro
mance of The Talisman, in whioh Soott
again brought 'into tho arena Richard Cocur
de Lion, the roal hero of Ivanhoo. A melancholy
interest attaches to romanoe, in whioh
Saladin'and Richard figure side by side. It was
the ver£ last work whioh Scott threw off, from a
free mind, ore tho oommeroial oriels of 1825 re
duced bim to comparative poverty. It was the
last flash of genius, ere it became harnessed to
write merely to eoneel debts. At the time he wrote
it, Bcott was only 54 years old. Seven years later
and the mind whioh croated and tbo hand whioh 1
wrote wore no more.
Phillips, Sampson, A Co., publishers of the At
lantic Monthly, have nearly ready, as a reprint, in
book-form from thatMagazine,Dr O. W. Holmes’s
Autocrat of tho Breakfast Table. What a world
wide popularity that book will have 1 For, the
Autoorat is as genial and gentle, and, withal, as
philosophical, an oesayist as any of modern times.
Ilnzlitt, saturnino and oynioal, would yet have
loved this writer. Charles Lamb would havo
opened his heart to ono who resembles him so
much in many excellent points. Leigh Hunt, we
dare say, has been muoh delighted with him
Thomas Hood, the great humanitarian, would
havo rolishod hU fine catholic Bplrlt. Dickens,
no doubt, h&B read him more than once, admiring
Ms command of our common language—tho “ well
of English nHdcfiled”—-and, above all, the perva
ding (ono of practical philosophy. The Autocrat,
however, is somewhat more than an essayist—ho
is contemplative, discurelvo, pooticcl, thoughtful,
philosophical, amusing, imaginative, tender—
never didactic. This is the acorcfrof his marked
success—ho interests variously-constituted minds
and various moods of mind. It neoded not the
introduction of lyrical pieces (whioh we aro glad
to have) to show that tho Autoorat is essentially
a poet. Of all who would have most enjoyed him
we may foremost name Professor Wilson, who
would have welcomed him to a seat ‘‘above tbo
salt” at tho far-famed “Nootos Ambrosian®,”
placing him next to William Mogion, the wayward
“ O'Doherty” of Blackwood's Magazine.

The Supreme Court—The Legality of
the Act selling the State Canals*
(Correspondence of The Press.l
StmutrnY, October 7,1858.
The hum-drum of our ancient villago is more
than usually stirred by tho presenoo of lawyers
and judges attending upon tho sessions of the Su
preme Court. There is a full bench present, but
this being the Northern distriot of Pennsylvania,
the cases to ho tried are few in number, and the
sittings will not be prolonged boyond Thursday, or
Friday at furthest.
Tho only causo argued, of publio importanoo, i 3
that testing tho constitutionality of the act for the
sale of tho State Canals. Tho caso was brought
before tho oourt in this manner :
When the Canal Commissioners gravely rosolved
that tho aot was unconstitutional, Air. Lowis Coop
or, a subscriber to the stock of tho Delaware Canal
Company, under the rc-sale of that improvement
by the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, got
roared, and refused to pay up his subscriptions.
The Sunbury and Erie Compony therefore sued
him, and he filed, as an answer, that tho act au
thorizing the salo to the aforenamod corporation
was illegal, and consequently they could not give
a good title. He was joined in tho suit by the
Canal Commissioners. W. L. Hirst, Efq., and
Hon. J. S. Blaok, acting as counsel for tho defence-
Hon. John C. Knox, Charles Gibbons, E-*q., and
St. George T. Campbell, appeared for tho com
pany.
Air. Gibbons opened for tho company in nn elo
quent and convincing argmnont. Ho answered
seriatim the points that were Taised in the paper
book of the defenco Hon. J.. S Black appeared
by proxy. His spoeoh was read by Col. A. B.
McCalmont. It was an extraordinary document
for a Supremo Court argument; condemning the
sale as no salo at all, hut a gift.; declaring tho
Sunbury and Brio Company an insolvent corpora
tion ; and broadly Insinuating that the Pennsylva
nia Legislature was a very oorrupt body. Chief
Justice Lowry intimated, after the document had
been road, thatit would not have been heard if the
whole contents had bcon known ; and Attorney
Gonoral Knox said ho had known lawyers heavily
fiued for indulgingin loss of personalities and abuse
of a co-ordinate branch of Government. Mr.
Illrat, his colleague, however, made the argument
on that side of the quoßtion, whioh was a truly in
genious and dispassionate effort, without any of the
vituperation and abusive epitheta that were con
tained in every paragraph ard almost every line
of Judgo Black’s harangue. Ho maintained—
First. That the'act for tho sale of the State
canals was in effoot a pledge of the credit of the
Commonwealth to a corporation, and therefore in
violation of the fifth seotion of nrticlo eleventh,
being tbo amendment adoptod in 1857.
Second. That tho proceeds of the sale aro not
applied to the sinking fund nooording to the truo
construction of tho 4th section of same amend
ments, and in violation thereof..
Third That tho aot, by its provisions, in
fringes upon the rights and powers of the Exeou
tlvo Departments cf the Government, and ia there
fore void.
Fourth. That tho provisions of the aot are not
TWO CEINTS.
such as to Justify the court in treating the disposi
tion of tho canals as a sale of the property pledged
to the loanholders of the Commonwealth, under
the 4th section of the same amendments, and that
the act takes from them their seourity, in violation
of that section, and impairs their oontraot, in
violation of the Constitut.oa of the United States.
These points were elaborated at some length,
and wore repliod toby Hon. John O. Knox, in one
of the dearest expositions of the true intent and
meaning of tho Constitution, touching the points
atiaano, that were over heard in our court of last
resort. He contended—
First. That the Commonwealth owned the ca
nals. and notwithstanding tho pledge to the loan
holders, they may be sold by law; for the sovereign
ty of Pennsylvania would indeed be an empty
name if she was bound to keep theseimprovements
for all time for the purpose of paying over their
revenue to the creditors of the State as interest
money. It was so settled by the unanimous opinion
of the court in Mott vs. Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
Indeed, she had given away the Upper North
Branch at one time, the Erie Extension and the
Wieconieoo Feeder; and surely if she could bestow
them sho oould soil them. The Commonwealth
buys nothing, endorses nothing, guaranties noth
ing, assumes nothing, contracts for nothing, and
therefore it is not peroeived that in any form her
credit has boen pledged, and is neither a ioinf
owner nor a stockholder in a corporation.
Second. That nothing is pledged, directly or in
directly, to theloan-helderB of the Commonwealth,
but “the proceeds of tho sale.” The objection
that because 25 per cent, of the “ re-sale” Unot
paid into the sinking fund but reserved as a com
mission by the company, was ruled out by the
court.
Third. It does not infringe upon the rights and
powers of the executive departments of Govern
ment, beoause the Governor Bigned the'bill, exe
cuted the deeds, reoeivod tho bond and mortgage for
the purohase money, ratified every resale, issued
letters patent to tho new purchasers, accepted their
bonds, cancelled the old obligations, and has folly,
and minutely, and without hesitation, carried Wt
the law, without, it is presumed, having as yet
conceived that any of his constitutional rights have
been invaded.
Fourth. The public creditor Has no suoh Interest
as will entitle him to interpose to prevent any
disposition of the publio property that the pro.
per department of the Government might see
fit to make. No property is taken from them ;
all that is reoeivod from the sale still remains
for them. Even if it be a contract , their secu
rity is in no legal sense impaired by the sub
stitution of the proceeds of the thing itself.
This is a mere skeleton of the Attorney Gene
ral’s very able argument.' He has a commanding

BT JOHN BUNTIXCf.
Dost tbou call Earth fair ?
Go sak the million slaves that crowd the mines, •
-«• And wear themselves array In endless toll: !
Tor them no morn awakes, no glory ehtnes;
Their day is night—their fieri tags the roll. I
Go, ask tbe wanderer, who begs his bread ‘
From door to door, across a barren'land,
Ts there no heart where kindness It not dead* . ..!
No heart to cherish, and no saying hand; <
No heart, where charity hath not died, •
No heart where lore is not a Velflah thought I''
Ask these—whose lives, whose hopes are crucified;
Ask those! will they not speak as they are taught?
Will they not answer, from tho eaves of care,
It were a mockery for the tongue to dare
* To call this bleak earthfalr?
Dost thon call this Life sweet?
Qaestion the stricken heart, and shattered frame,
Whose shipwrecked vessel has been stranded long,
Whore sou of reason Is a maniac flame
That leaps and glares, and yet is never strong.
Question the bearer of the heavy b-orr,
The bearer of r. weight upon the heart,
As of the breast that throbs so wildly now,
Ask if its tendrils from the soul would part;
Go ark of these, if this most mournful spaa
Is a sweet boon—a heritage of Heaven—
A priceless gift—a blessing sent to man—
A crown of glory to God’s children given ?
And though the answer breathes but lo a tigh,
See If these quivering tones, before they die,
Will not leap up and trample with their feet
The toogues that call life sweet
Dost thou call Love divine ?
Go ask of him whoseheartls crashed and torn,
Whose soul is bowed with the tremendous woe
Which notes a love that died as soon as bora,
Centred on things that are too high or low.
Yea, all of lave divine has died with her—
When ehe departed, passion sank to sleep;
Ft seemed that truth and virtue never were —
The world seemed dark, the anguish was so deep i
Yes, ask of him! the brow may not be dark;
The smile may light the features like the dawn j
But place thyself beside his breast and mark
The throbs that tell how life and hope are gone.
Ob, ask of him ! though high his mind is borne,
The soul is grovelling, and the heart is chained;
The fragments of it, link from link are torn—
Tho wreck of what urns mighty when it reigned.
Child of an unknown Father ! seek the shrine
Of some dofld Love, and measure it with tblne.
And blast that image which thou deem’at divine !
Dost thou call Flowers sweet ?
Go to the graves that hold the silent dead—
They who were once thy friends In happier years,
For whose Sweet memory long thy bosom bled,
For whose sad loss thou shed those bitter tears,
And watch the dowers that mantle those green mounds
With a resplendency as cold as death. '
There are no songsterA here with gentle sounds ; ■">
The world is of the dead-winds have no breath.
The flowers have fixed their feet upon the breasts
Of those who loved thee—thence their beauty comes;
The blush that lights the blossoming of their crests
Is stolen from that dead cheek which no more blooms.
0, gate at these ! do not the colors fade f
Are not the perfumes now forever flown ?
The gerai have turned to an eternal shade;
The pilfering blossoms on the winds are strewn.
Deem not tho buds that thy affections greet—
The flowers that thou should’st trample ’neath thy
foot—
Dsem not that such dishonored things are sweet!
Thus falsely speak thy dreams.
0 child or fate ! But still* how art thou blessed!
When the clouds draw their curtains round thy sky,
And the sun stoops behind the rosy west,
And the last purple shadows round him lie}
When all this world, the bitter and the dear,
The Earth, the Life , theious. the Flotcsrs are gone,
Forth from the glory of a realm so drear
Wakens the orient of eternal dawn.
Though thou hast questioned all the things of Time,
And feared to place in earthly powers thy trust,
Thou eaostnot doubt the wSalth of realms sublime,
Thou eaost not doubt thy Father’s will is just;
And however dark thy future seems,
0 pause until thy eye shall oatch the gleams
Of a fair life beyond this dream of dreams.
Such, creature! is thy fato!
So live, that when thy hostelry is o’er—
Tbla link between two worlds is hurst in twain—
T by unwieathed soul may reach that distant shore,
And take the crown of an eternal relm,
And, floatiug down that loog and waveless stream,
Not shall the slightest memory cling to thee
Of this strange lire, which is but as a dream,
Whose memory fades and sets thy spirit free.
Cling not to Earth! There is no spot below,
No wave that swells, no wind that whispers near,
Nothing of Earth that’s not wrapped in woe—
No heart of man that hath net shed a tear.
Then chain thyself submissive to thy fate ■
The dawn will waken ere the night grows late,
And Heaven’s long morning sun-beam lift the pearly
gate.

You oan roly upon a good return from this
county next Tuesday. As in the other portions of
the State, thoro is no excitement or feeling except
in regard to the oandidate for Congress.
In this distriot wo have on one side that noble
fellow and able statesman, Hon. H. D. Foster, who
formerly represented us in Congress. Of oonrse,
ho is a sound Domoorat, and when I say that I
moan that he isantl-Lecompton.
Judgo Deuglas is almost idolized by the people
in this seotion, and the hostility of the Genorftl
Administration towards him and hla friends only
serves to entwine the arms of the truo Democrats
the more oloßoly about him.

GENERAL NEWS.
Three Men Suejodatkd in a Well. —fn*
formation was brought to the city yesterday event
ing, that three men bad been euffoo&ted in a well,
by poisonous gas, at Willow Spring Station, on tho
Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, about ten miles
from town. Their names we did not learn- It ap
pears that the well needed cleaning, and one mail
was let down in a buoket by means of a windlo®
for the purpose. Before the bucket 'rcaohed tho
bottom the man fell out. Supposing it to be tho
consequence of accident, and that the was
hurt by the fall, the backet was drawn up and a
second man was let down to assist the first. This
man fell senseless out of the bHoket, as did tho
first. The people above them concluded very right
ly that tbe well was filled with carbonic gas In
order to decide the point, however, a third man
got into the buoket and direoted his comrades to
lower bim slowly into the well that be could smell,
and if he discovered there was foul air, he wonld
give a signal and they could draw him up. Be
was let down, but gave no signal, and on reaching
th .® point where the others had fallen out. he like
lii the buoket to the bottom. Of oourse,
all three expired, and the people not knowing how
e expel the gas, were unable to recover their bo

learned that there was such a spring, on the farm
of Major at a place once called Altona, and
Jong known for the virtues of its mineral waters.
Thither the invalid went, and by a judicious use of
tho waters, diet, and exercise, he improved so ra
pidly in health that in the oourse of five weeks he
could walk ten miles, and he was speedily restored
to a state of robnst health.
A Precocious Forger and Mail Rob-
SBR-—"A few days since the postmaster of New
Orleans arrested Miobael Herts, a lad of sixteen,
in the aot of signing a receipt for a valuable let
ter, addressed to John McMurdo, of that oity.
Several valuable letters have been mysteriously
taken from the post office since last May, and the
police have been on the watch for tike abstractor
for some time. Receipts for most of these have
been given in this hoy’s band writing, and he has
even forged endorsements of checks anAdrafta
enoloeed in these letters, mid 'got them-cashed at
the oity banks. How the bank officers, oould be
deceived by hie bungling forgeries isa matter of
wonder to everybody. Oa oreaking open the

Singular Accident. —The Hartford Press
gives tbe following aooount of a singular accident
which occurred at Woloottville, Conn., during a
wicket match between'Winsted and Woleottvme
players: .. ,
* Mr- Jabez Alvord had buckled a strap tightly
around his right-arm above tbe elbow, to prevent
bis arm from .being lamed when throwing In the
ball. Soon a large throw became, necessary, but
as the effort was made, a crack, short and distinct
like that of a pistol, was heard aeross the play
ground, and the young man’s arm fell powerless
at his side, the ball describing a short curve be
yond. Oa an' Immediate examination'of the arm
>y Doctors Phelps and Steele, -who were upon
the ground, it was found that the bone was broken
short off* just above the point where *the strap wa »
placed.
“Players will understand that nature rebels
against any artificial supports of the kind used by
Mr. Alvord.”
Bartering Squaws.— A correspondent of
one of our exchanges is responsible for this item:
” At Harmony, some forty miles from Washington,
the Piede Abram, having a squaw who signified
her wish to have a younger husband, marched her
before the muscle of his rifle to Cedar, where
Uteswere quartered, haring come here for the
purpose of buying squaws for tbe United States
troops, and sold her to them; so she had a fair
prospect of having her desires more than gratified.
A few days since a noise of crying was heard in,
the streets., I went out and saw an Indian drag
ging along his squaw,' while she was howling bit
terly. , Upon asking what was the cause he re
plied, ‘Kots ashinti miV-she don’t want me;
baring also conceived a desire for another bns
band, and probably she may be likewise accom
modated.”
Sxxgblak Devexopmiht. —A. gentleman
from Virginia, brings with him a child, seven
Tears of,age, whose growth, and appearance pro*
sent a most .wonderful degree of early develop
ment. ■ His name is Walter W. Bryant, and no
was born inßlchmoDd Virginia:' Et»
weighs ninety'pounds, and,is forty-fanXj inches
htpr''His'laoe Ts'afl large as that of a full-,
grown man, and bis health exceedingly robust.
He measures round. the breast 35{ inches; around
the waist 37i inches, *'arm 15, and leg 18 inches
round. His parents are of the ordinary rise, and
no reasons have been assigned by physicians for
the singular and extraordinary early develop
ment of nearly mature powers in one so very
young.
Death of a Ruffian. —A notorious Indi
vidual, Colm Le Blew, who had long been the
’error of St.. Landry and Caloasieu, Miss., was
killed recently at the latter place As he was sp
proaohing the hotel four heavily loaded guns were
discharged at him, lodging forty or fifty buckshot
in his body. Three yonng men were arrested for
the deed, but subsequently released, the deed
having been done by the general sanation of the
community. Le Blew, on one occasion, forbid the
judge to hold court in Caloasieu, and actually, by
pointing a pistol at him, made him leave the
benoh.
A Chicago paper publishes a ''calculation**
concerning Thurston the aeronaut's fall. His ele
vation was thought to be three miles when he was
last seen, and assuming this to be the distance he
fell, it would only require thirty-one seconds and
a half for him to reaoh the earth, a moan veloeity
of 495 feet per second. Assuming his weight to
be 160 pounds, he would strike the earth with a
momentum equal to 160,800 pounds, or little more
than 80 tons, a power sufficient to shatter his body,
bone and musole, into atoms so minute as scarcely
to bo perceptible, if not to bnry him deep into the
earth.
Railroad Accident.—A yonng man named
Sheridan left Pittsburgh on Wednesday last in
one of the way trains, and got off at Brlnton’s
station. In endeavoring to get on a train ooming
back, it is supposed that he fell under the oars.
He was found lying on the rail at evening, in a
horribly mntilated condition, and brought back to
tho oity. He was taken to Dr. Walter’s Hos
pital. It is said, on what evidence we are
not informed, that Sheridan was under the in
fluence of liquor when this sad aeoident oc
curred.
Jewish Longevity.— The modern Israelites,
we are informed by Herr Gaiters, have a longer
life of it than modem Christians. During twenty
three years M. Gatters has been gathering statis
tics on this head in Wieselburg; and he finds that
as infants, as as adults, Jews live longer
than Christians. He attributes their longer life to
some peculiarity of race; hut it is probable their
money has something to do with it. A pauper
Jew is an unheard-of thing, and poverty and short
lite have a well-known relation. —Medical Times m
Suicide. —A man named Willis M. Warner
committed sniolde at the Menard Honse in tho
town of Petersburg, 111., on the 23d ult, by taking
twenty grains of morphine. Previous to retiring
for tho night, he jokingly asked a companion if ho
would have him deoeutly buried. He leaves a
wife and one child living in Buffalo. He also had
a brother in Chioago. In a letter that he left for
his brother, occurs the following sentenoe: “For
ever esobew the intoxicating cup.”
Serious Accident. —On Tuesday night last
a young Indy named Barberwas very seriously in
jured, at Rondout, Pa., by being thrown down by
a horse, as two men were raoing in the streets of
that village. Two men rushed to her assistance,
when one wag kicked upon the forehead, almost
instantly killing him, while the other was seriously
injured.
