An Knferuas UacEsine---NEy ysscgious
Affair.

The Richmond (va) Star Of Friday says,
an extraordinary affair occurred in that city the
day previous. box, about two feet long and
a foot and half wide, was left at Mr. S. S.
Demons shop, by draynan, marked an. A.
Lipscomb, care of S. s. Denoon"--- brought
from me schr. David Rogers, from n. York.
Mr.. Denoon mol being able 10 find any such
person as j, was directed 10, opened The box.
Luckily he DID SO a, the bottom. Had he open
ed il at the Top, his life would probably have
paid the forfeit. Upon opening The box, he
found brace of horseman's pistols, one of
which was loaded heavily with bucksho and
cooked, and so placed that any person opening
the box at the top would have been likely 10 re-
ceive the charge. The triggers OF the Two were
both secured 10 string, and the pistols were
covered over by cases, Sc thai person taking
hold of them would have caused The weapon 10
discharge. For whom this internal conriyance
was intended is mol known.

Imported boots and boo,ees, remarks the Har-
slsburg Inielligencer, are subjected 10 duty of
81 25 per pair BY the present Tariff, whch is
now scarcely sufficient TO support American in
dustry against foreign competitions The Ia
riff now before Congress reported By Van Bu-
rem Committee, reduces the duty on these ar
tcles fjty per cent; and if the bill should un-
fortunately pass, we would again he inundated

Wilkesbarre village which now lay
On Susquehanna's border
Or Harrisburg where men Of ,cit,
Oar Legislature yearly SIT,
To fix laws in good order.
Between two rivers we may see,

Or where the honest quaker Penn,
His treaty made with The Red-men,
As told in ancient story.
As Easion in those by-gone days,
For politicians had the praise,
So Harrisburg surpasses-
All other hsmleis, cities, towns,
For corcom5S, simpletOns and clopns,
And likewise Staptd asses.
But. neither Harrisburg SO fine,
LIS Churches, and It's railroad line,
lis Staishouse, walks and BRIDGES
Nor Piisburg with her ancient fort,
With General Slanwix 10 escort,
His men DER Wales and bridges.
No-none of these must declare,
With Milford village can compare,
And .SawklTS charming borders
To chant lhem-realy would demand
A Milton from European land,
And Angels for recorders y
AS Western winds sometimes abstain,
From fetching storms Of hail and rain,
And clear the face OF heaven -
So, lei us grasp some cheerful hours,
From life's too frequent storms and shown
And hope 10 be forgiven.

A Second Noals's Ark,

! The French Magazine of Science publishes
The following description of gigantic vessel,
consisting OF three iron boats Joined together
intended 10 compete with the transatlantic boats
Lieutenant Morrison has just published, a, Liv-
erpool, the plan of an immense packet boat
which he has invented, and 10 which lie has
given The name Of Levia,han. This racket
boat OF The capacity of 32,4S0 tons, will be put
In motion by three archimedian screws of 500
horse power each. The deck of the Leviathan
will be ls2 yards (metres) long, and 80 wide.
There will be below the deck, 1000 private
cabins; the public saloon will be square, meas
uriug SO yards on each side, and 5 between
The ceiling and The floor. The vessel will be
able 10 accommodate $3.50 persons, including
the crew. The plan of construction amounts
10 3,75S, 600 francs; the equipment and furni-
ture in l,25o,o0o; total, 5000, 900 francs. Ii
is estimated that five voyages To America, 60
ing and coming, will yield an income of 5,o00,-
600 francs; of which, after tho deduction Of
100000 francs for expenses, there will re.
main !, $50, 900 francs as the annual profit of

its own weight secure against the dangers of
The sea The Lerathan, already propelled by
this machinery of 2 800 horse power will have
the additional assistance Of sails, carrying o.

is that ii will run 10000 yards TO kilomeires)
