a MAN1Ac.-A dreadful event recently threw
the town OF Rlmmle, Italy. into CONSERVATION.
A young and pretty woman belonging to the
middle class of society, obtained permission to
visit her husband, who was confined in a mad
house. The patient testified the utmost delight
at seeing her and the keeper, at their request re-
tired and lett them together. He was, however,
IN few minutes alarmed at hearing loud cries
at the room ne found the maniac holding in his
arms ms wife, covered with blood. After the
tlrst transports OF delight had passed over, a fit
offury had come on, and he had thrust out both
her eyes with metal spoon left by mistake in
the room The unfortunate woman was imme-
diately conveyed to the infrmary of the mad
house and attended most carefully. She died the
next day in dreadful torture, without uttering a
word OF complaint against her husband.

a LUCKY HIT.-An uneducated young convert
not thousand miles from Boston, and not a

gave one OF Hamlet's beautiful and moving soli-
loqules very effectively. His admiring listeners,
not having been very deeply read in Shakespeare,
mlstook the quotation from the Bard of Avon"
for the extemporaneous outpouring Of the young
mans own heart; and, thinking that so much
talent ought not to be hid under bushel, at once
resolved to finish his education at their own ex-
pense. They accordingly did SO; and, ne that
was once wild, thoughtless youth, Is now as

US they had been doing for some time. 1 fell some
curiosity To see how the arrangement was going to
work. About 10 o'clock last night. The New York
came up, and without asking the prices, eleven pms
sengers came "a, leaving not one through pa,seng
er behind. had their baggage taken 60 the Hotels.
and went INTO The Offices to enter their names and
pay their "a re; but you would have been surprised
to see the sudden change that Immediately took place
IN their appearance and manners. Instead OF nrk-
ing out the money and taking their licke:s as here.
iofure. they crammed their wallets inIu heir pock.
els again and promptly declared they would go To
Pittsburgh, aud wait until The canal was open that
The Railroad and Sage Companies had sent their
Canis through oil the Western country, giving the
prices, arang menIs. &c. which had induced hun.
dreds who had gone on before them to take this
route onl also nearly all ~ho were behind Them

there was some ir:ckery in the matter. that II

IL and hoped others yet behisd them would also
pass on is Pittsburgh. Nine Of Ihem Immediately
ordered their baggage back TO the beat. went on
BOARD anS put for PItisbvrgh and the Pennsylvania
canal. so much for The new arrangement.
This morning. the Lehigh came up full Of p1ssen.
gcrs. Capt. Price informed me himself that he had
100 cabin passengers and lbs deck passengers when
he let Cincinnati. under the old arrangement, so
OF them at least would have got of here. and taken
the Central route; but on learning the change in price
and that they could only pay 10 Cumbcrland; the
greater number concluded To- 60 on 10 Pittsburgh
and take the canal. Only 25 passengers out Of
nearly 200 got of here, when II is we'll known IN
The people here, that for Ssne months past, il wa.
a common Thing TO clear the decks of a boat. and
send her up perfectly bare Of passengers.
If these are The first fruits onhisnew arrangemen,
or rather dera ngement. Mai may be expected in fu.
Iure' Well, ! here give You items only-you q.

own conclusions. One thing is very certain. tha,
is that The Rail Road Company Will have abundant
time and space this summer TO repair The engines

serve it too, for never wns a more suicidical act, OF
one more injurious Tow Yards the concerned, committed
