The dinner that day was swallowed with greater rapidity than usual, and as the clock ((truck one, the officers of|the law rushed into Court, litre chickens into a meal trough. White they were eating their dinners, how ever, a young man from the “ kountry,” be ing somewhat anxious to see the manner in which justice was meted out, walked into the court room, and as he afterwards expressed himself, “ look a squint at all the scats, and' seein’ there was no one in the nicest one, with « railin’ all round it, thought he’d make sure of it, ’fore the fellers got back from din ner." ' In five middles after Ihe crowd entered the room, the judge rapped the desk with the butt end of bis jack-knife, and with a digni fied frown, erica . “ Silence’n the court!" “Silence’n Iho’court!’’ repealed the broad shouldered constable, leaning on the railing in front of his hbnor, immediately resuming tho operation of picking his teeth with a pin. “Silenco'n tho-courl!" echoed the squeak ing voice of a small red headed constable near the door, and the latter speaker imme diately resuming elbowing the crowd right and left, to let (hem know that he was around. “ All ready 7" said the judge. “ All ready,” replied the attorney, “ Command the prisoner to stand up,” says the judge, ” while the indictment is being road ' The broad-shouldered constable now walk ed up to the prisoner's box, during the appa rent momentary absence of the sherilf, placed ins hand on the shoulder of ihe„young man, and exciaimoc. “ Stand ur " “What fur’” said the astonished young farmc. “ To hear the charge read,” exclaimed the constable “-Wall, 1 guess I km hear what’s goin’ on without slandtn , as well as the rest on ’em” was the reply. “ Stand up /” toared the judge in a burst of passion—he had just bitten his tongue while picking his taeth—“ young man stand up or the consequences be upon your own head ‘ The victim came up on his feet as if under the influence of a galvanic battery, and look ing around the court room, and noticing that all eyes-were upon him, with an expression about as affectionate as that of a rabid man towards a bowl of water, he hung down his bead in confusion and mortification, and was nearly deaf to the words of the indictment; but he’had heard enough of the long, compli cated, tangled sentences, to learn that he was charged with stealing, or embezzling, or cheating, or pilfering some house or some body, and he couldn’t tell exactly which. “ What does he say to the charge i Guil ty or not guilty ?” inquired the judge, peer ing over his spectacles with a look cold enough to freeze a man’s blood. “ Guilty or not guilty " The young man ventured to look up in hopes to find a sympathising eye, hut all were cold and unfriendly, and lie again gazed on the sawdusted floor and trembled with confusio;.. 11 Guilty or not guilty ?” attain vociferated (he judge, in a (one that plainly denoted im patience to proceed with tho case. The broad-shouldered constable, being ra ther a humane man, now stepped up to the prisoner, and exclaimed— “ You had better say ‘not guilty,’.ofoourse! If you say ‘guilty’you don’t stand no chance, this term, that’s sure! and if you say ‘ not guilty,’, and wish, at any future state of the case to change your plea to * guilty’ you can do it without injury to yourself! therefore, I advise you to say 1 not guilty,’ and stick to it ns long as there is any chance.” Jonathan’s feelings had been simmering some time, but now they had actually boiled over, and with a look of innocent but deter mined resolution, he hwung his arms above his head, and exclaimed— “ What in all natur’ are you fellers a try in' to dew 1 1 haint been stealing nothin’!’’ I haint, sure /” Just at this moment the front door opened, and the sheriff, with the genuine prisoner, walked into the room and proceeded at once to the box. The court in a moment saw its mistake, and tried to choke • down its effect with a frown, but it was no go. The crowd burst forth in a horse laugh that fairly made the windows rattle, and the young man left the room exclaiming, as he went out the door— “ 1 know’d all the time I hadn’t stole noth in’.” —Literary Mesuem. Tbn oases ,of cholera were reported in Brooklyn on Thursday, two of which proved fatal. : S. B. Williams, of the firm of Baker & Co., of Boston, fell a victim lo’cholera in Montreal, last Sunday.

The Scicucc of Circus Riding. Some beautiful illustrations of centrifugal force, are afforded by the feats of horseman ship in the ring of an amphitheatre. It may not bo generally known that tho circular form is absolutely necessary to the successor those performances. It would probably be impos sible for the horseman even to stand on his saddle while the horse is haoving in a straight line, still less to perform the elegant and sur prising evolutions which we so much admire, because it would be impossible for the rider so to alter the position of his body constantly within the' narrow base of his feet.- But if, instead of riding in a straight line, he rides in a curse, a new force is lent to him to support his weight—acting, too, as if U acted at the same point whe/e his weight may be suppo sed to act, namely, his centre of gravity j ills new force is his qentrifugal force. His cen tre of gravity has now no longer any occa sion to be brought over the base of his feet, another horizontal joins in supporting it, and poised between the horizontal force and the resistance of his feet, its equilibrium is easily found. To the action of the centri fugal force, which would otherwise overthrow him outwards, the horseman slightly opposes the weight of his body by leaning inwards; and does ho find his inclination 100 great, he urges on his horse, and his centrifugal force, thus increased, raises him up again. By thus varying his velocity and the inclination of his body, ttio conditions of his equilibrium are placed completely under his control, and he can perform a thousand evolutions, that moving in a straight line he could pot; he can leap upon his horse, stand upon his head or his hands whilst he is performing his gyralions, or jump from his horse upon tho ground, and running to accompany its motion, vault again upon his saddle. The condition of his stability, and oven the force of liis gravity, appeared to he mastered.— There is in fact"given to him a third invisible power, by (he a'cl of his revolulion, which is a certain modification of the force of his on ward motion; this acts with him in all the evolutions he makes, and is the secret of all his feats.— Byrne's Mechanics. Whatca Whale Dons.—The noise of a whale can be heard at least a mile. He throws the water from twenty to twenty five feet High, After giving a blow, which' he does when he is close~ to the surface of the water, he instantly goes under.

Once as I sat on the bowsprit, watching two or three who were playing about, one passed within a few yards of me, blew a.blast wrtji his wa ter trumpet, and down he went, 1 had a good opportunity of seeing him, and got a fair view of the breathing pipe. It was a round hole in the top of his head with a slight rim around it and apparently about two inches in diameter. This one as near as I could judge was from sixty to seventy feet in length. The top of his head and “ shouldeas” was, broad and flat, and nearer quite twelve feet across. His back, instead of appearing round, was nearly level, hnd’showed room enough for a quartette of.

It cause's chymical changes gradyally tocommence among the particles of food which has previously been eaten,.and thus facilitates the dissolution which necessa rily proceeds digestion. It is only some, kinds of cheese, however which will effect this purpose. Those are generally considered the best in which some kind of cheese mould has established itself. .Hence the mere ea ting of a morsel of cheese after dinner does not necessarily promote digestion. If too new or of improper quality it will only add to the quantity of food with which the stomach is already overloaded, and will have to await its turn for digestion by theordinary process.

Tub So-called Demqcbats.— Edmond Burke of New Hampshire, afer tracing the history of his connection with (he Democratic party for the last eight months, draws the fol lowing picture of the Democratic parly of the North; h “ In Maine, the DenWratlc party Is disor ganized and defeated. In New York, it is in a condition .far more desperate. In New Hampshire, by the aid of National Democrats —who have been persecuted and proscribed by (be President and his minions—the Dem ocratic parly barely saved from defeat. In Massachusetts, there is no democratic parly, nothing but a poor mercenary, unprincipled, contemptible faction;-calling themselves Dem ocrats, who yearly coalesce with the Free Boilers, and who support the Administration nominally only in consideration of the crumbs which fall from the Executive table. In Ver mont there nver was a Democratic party worth saving. In short, in every Stale north of Ma. son and line, the paFfy Introrrorlesr demoralized and disorganized; and at this mo ment, Gen.
