He was coming al the top of hls speed, his tall stuck right into the afr, and his head down. as if for immediate attack. As the bull errant rushed onward, the director checked the Car, and received the blow np- on the front wheel. The animal recoiIed several steps-the pufing of the steam pipe seemed to challenge him to a second onset, and on he came, believing and tear ing up the earth, while his eyes seemed 10 shoot forth banefnl fire. The engineer thought his safety consisted in moying-he therefore put on the head of the accumua- ted steam, and ihe car started like he wind. i 1 he enraged beast struck short Of his aim, missed his footing, and rolled down high embanksnent, to the Ia6nate eradication of those who had watched his behavior, and to the glory of the engineer.

 Capifal Crtmes.--Judge STORY, of the United States Court. in recently address sing the Jury in Boston, said:
 "Our crminal code, unlike the codes of most other countries, was remarkable for itS kindness. Bat nine crimes were with Us punishable by death; while in other Go i vernments, and those most celebrated for civilization and moderate punishments, the penalty of death was inflicted in generally more numerous instances. The first was treason; the second, narrdef; the third, rape; the fourth. arson; the fifh, burning ship of war of the United States; the sixth, rob- bery oi the mail; (this was not usually capi- ltal. but q second offence, or an attack upon the conductors of the mail, with dangerous weapons, subjected the criminal to death, and the penalty had been in numerous in- stances inhieted;) the seventh, casting away ships with intent to defraud the own CTS; the eighth, rescuing prisoner while going 10 or during execution: and the ninth and 1ast. was the crime of piracy.

At length she decided on sending to Edinburgh. distance of 50 miles from Clydesdae castle, for dentist to extract the suffering tooth; and, when he arrived, she declared ssthat her nerves were unequal to submitting to the operation unless she saw 1t performed on some one else first" The few friends admitted to the sanctuary ot her boudoir looked aghast at this dec- laration, each expecting 10 be called on, but, alier the silence of a few minutes, and no one offering, sine told Lord Arden that he must have tooth out, that she might judge from has manner of supporting the operation if she could go through it. He appeared amazingly disconcerled, but few WHY faces and serlous approximations having failed to ploiiiiy the lady, ihe obedient ilts- band submitted, aDd fine sound tooth was extracted from his jaw, after which she de- clared, "Fhat she had seen enough to con- vince her that she could not undergo a similar operation"
