LAW INTELLIGENCE.

The New York American states thai
the cause of Frederick A, Tracy, OF
that city, against Joshua B. Wood,
OF Rhode Island, was tried for the second
time in the Circuit Court OF the United
States at Providence, before bis honor
Judge Story, at the term recently held
there and that the jury gave verdict for
the plaintiff Tor about five thousand seven
hundred doIlars-one half OF the amount
claimed. II will be recolected that, a.
bout year ago. there was loss of guam
tity OF doubloons from the Steam boat Con-
necticut. Mr.. Tracy delivered those
doubIoons to MIR. Wood pu, up in two
separate bags placed in al ordinary tra-
yelling vallce, TO take on TO Providence.
MIR Wood took the vaIice on board the
steamboat, and left it in an open birth
while the boat was lying at the wharf, IN
New York, all one afternoon and evening
and slept on board the boat at night, IN a
different cabin from that in which the
douoloons we're lett. 10 the morning he
discovered that one bag of the doubIoons
was gone, and alter having made this dis
covery, he left the vaice, with the remain
ing bag in It, lying on table 10 the tor
ward cabin, and went on deck tor about
FIVE minutes, and returned, when the va
lice and the other bag OF gold were gone,
and have not yet been found. Mr., Tracy
brought this suit against Mr. Wood on the
grounds that he had been guilty OF gross
Negligence in leaving them thus exposed.
The jury decided that the plaintiff was en-
titled 10 recover tor the value OF the bag
that was first missed, and gave verdict
ccoIdIngty; but they did not consider
iha, leaving the other bag and valice on
the table in the forward cabin, for so short
period as five minutes, as amounting to
gross negligence. The trial of the cause
occupied two days, and excited great IN
terest at Providence. A large concourse
of people attended the trial, and among
the rest, about hundred ladies, Compri-
sing the beauty and fashion of the place.
The learned Judge laid down the law in a
clear explicit and able manner. MessrS.
Webster, Whipple and ROBBINS distln-
guished themselves in their arguments to
the jury, and the court appeared TO be
Il satisfied with the verdict.

THE TREADING MILL.

We have visited this new and we doubt
not powerful machine, in the reformation
OF vice and prevention as we'll as punish
ment of crime Ii is erected in a building
provided Tor the purpose at the PenIten-
tiary establishment, and consists OF two
! long wheels, turned like squirrels roll
ing cage, only that the weight is applied
outside instead of inside of the bar or steps.
Each wheel is long enough for l6 persons
to stand upon it together, supported BY a
hand rail, shifting their feet with short and
quick steps, to prevent being withou ut sup.
port by the toothold, rolling inwards from
under them. A screen separates the two
, wheels, each of which interIocked by or
binary marChinery with each other, is me-
we'd by the weight or specific gravity OF Is
persons, and the whole force applied, in
! an adjoining apa tnent TO he movement OF
two pair OF mill stones which grind the
usual quantity produced by that amount
OF power. Each wheel is attended by go
persons, Zone by males and the other by
temales) one halt of whom are employed
IN exercise or labor, while the others are al
rest; at the sound of bell, striking about
once each half minute, the person al one
end Of the wheel stepping off the remain
der moving down, and anotberstepplng on
at the head Thus each person is employ
ed, eight hours day, alternately in exer-
else and rest, -ht t,nU tie Ch inter-
val, from eight in the morning to four in
the afternoon The effect of this discip,
line, it is believed, will be the most salu-
lary and unequivocal nature. Although
the employment at first appears light and
easy, il is already found by experience,
probably from its unremitted regularity,
IN itself the dread of the idle and profit
gate, to have serious and lasting effect on
its subjects. The prisoners are daily com
planning of indispositien or fatigue, &, taken
from the wheels by direction of the physi
clan register is kept of their services;
and but very lew, if any it is confidently
expected, after being once DISCHARGED from
this cage, will merit return to the tread
ing mill. N, Y. Statesman.

spirituous liquors.
"The appetite for tobacco is wholly
artificial no person was ever born with
a relish for it, it ceases to be agreeable
