 Use ofthe Stomoch Pump.-On Friday, colored man belonging to the receiving ship, United States, obtained two ounces of laudanum, in the village of Brooklyn.- The apothecary saw him swallow it imme- diately after, and called assistance. Eve- ry means at hand were used to preserve his life, such as bleeding, bathing, Sc. but the effects of the portion could not be ar-; rested. He was then taken to tho Navy Yard, where the Surgeons applied the stomach pump, and the fellow is now in a. fair way of recovery. He is an aged ne- gro, and is said to have been prompted to the act by the unrequited love he bore a young female of his own complexion. l Juueniie Magndnimity.-A lad was re- gently called before the police court, Bos-' ton, for throwing stone which struck iit- tie girl in the eye-tbe responsibility of tho parties excited considerable interest, and drew many persons to hear the exam- inalon. The boy was bound to appear at the Municipal Court, aud Col. M. was en- gagged as his counsel. Soon after the ex- animation, another boy, about 12 years of age, called upon the counsellor aforesaid, and asked, :" Sir, are you engaged to de- fend -" "Yes, I am; why do you ask 2" To which the little fellow replied, with honesty worthy of his immortal grand- father, " because, sir, I threw the stone, and cannot suffer comrade to be punished for crime of my own commission" "Well donc-you are fine boy :; what is your name?" "My name is s--." Well, said the counsellor, adniring the noble-hearted- ness of the lad, " will you tell the county | attorney that you committed the act ?''- "Yes, sir" said he, and immediately went to Colonel Austin's office for that purpose. The friends of the injured girl, on learn ing these particulars, declined taking any further steps in the premises. Commen. 
 Iaking tke Bull by the kOrns.-A cor- respondent of the Concord N. H. States man writes-s As young man was driv- ing four year old bull along the banks of the Pemigewasset, at New Hampton, last Monday, the animal turned and attacked him. The man snatched stake from the fence and stood marfully upon his defence. The bull pushed violently at him, now re- cedng, then renewing the attack with re- doubled fury, endcavoring to dash his ad- versary to the earth. In few minutes the battle became so warm that the man beat retreat and plunged into the river. there three or four feet deep. Tho bull followed, but the man reached the oppo- site shore before him. He had not time to escape, however, before the bull was at his heels. He again retreated, pfunging into the stream; and by this time he had become SO much exhausted that the animal overlook him in the middle of it. Still the young man, fertile in expedients, eluded the attack by constant turning in the water. As the bull could not turn so rapidly as the youth, the latter succeeded in seizing upon his tail, thence he leaped upon his neck and grappled him by the horns. By main strength he forced his head under wa . ter and drowned him! To arrive at perfection, a man should g have very sincere friends, or inyeterate en- emies: because he would be made sensi- ,, , ble of his good or i'll conduct, either by the censures of the one, or the admonitons of 5 the other.-Diogenes. sse
