The bony of the wretched (stlier Liy neat < them, on bis back, lus body similarly mutilated )-y the fire. It was too late to stop tbe rooflsgratfon. As soon os possible tbe almost formless cinders were removed. It could be seen that the father had cut hi.* own throat alter firing (hr bouse There is uo doubt m the mind ol the neigh bors that he first killed the children or stunned them by a blow on the head. He also tied up eighteen head of cattle aud one none in the baru previous lo setting it on fire. ‘‘The motive of tin* fearful crime i* thought to have l>een a brutal ferocity by hatred ol hr* muocent and aiiectionale wile. He had ofim threatened her life, and last Thursday,’alarmed «l Ins menaces, she escaped and went lo Uwegu.— He then went and, on pretence that his wiie wa* daugerously ill, persuaded his daughter, who bad also fled from In* cruelly some months before, to return to tbe house. There he confined her, treat mg her like a fiend, till yesterday afternoon, wtuto with difficulty she again escaped, lmme diAtdy alter hr must have proceeded tocarry uut horrible .purpose whoso renulll I have above deacnlied." EutcTBKTJTT vs. Steam. have received a pamphlet of sixteen pages, containing various in* terpsting lacta relativo lo Professors Page’s electro mugnetic engine, which was printed on a single cylinder Napier press, ia the office of J.

Congress baa appropriated $20,000 lo be expended in the perfection ol Uus invention —Bah Sun. Advantage* ok Railboaos.—U is supposed that loe wealth created by the rise of property tbioujh which railroads are made, is more than equal to the actual cost of the road; that i*, the eost of the rail road, a* to the whole* community, will be leas than nothing. P. P. P. Degrand, in a speech on the South Shore Railroad in Massachusetts, stated that the actual rise ot land on its borders, caused by the existence of the road, cannot be valued at less than an average of V>o per acre, for a strip two inilev wide on each -ide of it. If we were to apply tins role jo the proposed Auburn and Binghamptoa road, and the people owning a strip ot land two miles oa each aide i>{ it were to build the road themselves, they wmilJ real ize more than four hundred per cent on their in vestments. But we will suppose ibal the rise in the value of this strip of land, created by the road to Bmgbampton would l»e ooly-912 f>o per acre —one fourth of what Mr. Degrand estimates the rise to have been by the South Shore Railroad. A square mile cuolainq six hundred and forty acres, and the lour miles square 2000 acres. This rise ol Sl2 TiO would create an additional value of $32,000 for the whole distance Iwtweon Auburn and Bing- Immpton Each tuile ol th«* railroad would there fore create wealth to the amount of. $32,000 The whole cost of the road would be not over 22,000 Showing a clear gain per mile of. 10,IK)0 Or for the whole distance 70 miles 700,000 This is placing the very lowest estimate upon the probable rise in the vallie of (be land through which it will run. At the estimate ol Mr. Degraud —not a very wild mm—of a rise of sf the l>c&my of American “There are two points m which it is relJuui equiii led, never excelled—the dawn- chaslenesa and delicacy of the Ibntiires, and the smallness and ex quisite symmetry of the extremities. In the biter respect .particularly, the American ladies arc singu larly fortunate. I have seldom, seen one, delicate ly brought up, who had not a line hand. The leel are also generally very small and exquisitely mould ed, particularly those of a Mnryland gttl; who, well aware of her attractiveness, has a ihouxauJ little coquettish ways of her own ot lemptinuiv exhibit ing them. Thai in which the Ainerieun wotrnu are most deficient is tumidness of figure. But it is a mistake to «tip[H>BC that well-rounded forms are not to be found in America. Whilst this is the char acteristic of Knglisti beauty, it is not so prominent a lealure in America. In New Kngland. m ihc mountainous districts of Pennsylvania and Mary land, and in the central valley ol Virginia, the female form is. generally speaking, as well rounded and develop'd aa it i* here; wbdsl'a New ICuglund com plexion is, iu nm«- cases vcly and enduring as any that our own hardy dnnaie can produce.''
