Court gave its opinion against the prisoner,
and decided him subject to sentence. From
this decision, the prisoners counsel appeal

IN the Court of Appeals. The appearance

Hot SPRINGS OF ARKANSAS. The Little
Rock Gazette gives description of these
famous Springs. They are seventy in
number, and break out from the side of
mountain. Their temperature exceeds one
hundred and fifty degrees of Farenheit.
The water readily scalds bristles from
hogs. The use of the water has been
found very beneficial, in cases of Rheuma-
tism, Pulmonary complaints and chronic
disorders of every kind. We recolect to
have read very interesting account of
these springs, published, we believe,
among the papers of the American Philo-
sophical Society, and have seen several
beautiful specimens of chrystal, and a
substance resembling Turkey oil stone,
which were found in the vicinity of these
springs.-Saiem Observer.
REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY" A cores

illustrates the character of republican
magistrate, were more usual in this repub-

ScHTsM IN THE STEAM FACULTY.. Doc

mously famous Samuel Thompson. and a
graduate in the art and mystery of s;eam-
ing fools into purgatory upon the high
pressure principle, has lately denounced
Thompson, and published pamphlet oct
ting forth some of the absurGities of the
Thompsonian practice! !" Rogers says he
gave 90 dollars TO Thompson, for the privi-
lege of committing homicide in his peculiar
mode, and he abuses his former master
most deliciously, descants upon his ignor-
Gnce, and talks about his own skill in very
dainty terms. He says he is a better ply
stefan than either Or. Thompson, or the
regular practitioners. TT hoe est paratus

SHOCKING DEATH. Last Thursday even
ing in Elbridge-street, woman, who was
the wife of one of the watchmen, lay asleep
on chair before the fire in her room, when,
dreadful to relate, the fame caught her
dress, and she became completely envel-
oped in the blaze before assistance arrived
A family who resided up stairs in the same
house heard the shieks of the unfortunate
sufferer, but arrived too late to render her
any assistance. Death, in its most terrify-
ing manner, had almost completed its work,
and naught was left but the horrid specta-
Gle of human being vainly struggling
amidst all the horrors of the destructive
element.-W Y. Courier and Enquirer.
