out the ghas!ly spectacle its bosom exhibit
ed. The cannonading soon commenced but
with little effect, as the mists concealed the
armies from each other. A hundred and
sixty thousand OF The allies, stretched in a
huge semicircle around the heights, while
Napoleon, with one hundred and thirty thou
sand in the plain below, was waiting the ia
vorable moment in which TO commence The
attack. At length the battle opened on
the right, where fierce firing was heard as
Victor pressed firmly against an Austrian
battery. Suddenly, Napoleon heard shock
like falling mountain. While Victor was
engaging the enemy in front, Murat, unper-
eeived in the thick mist, had stolen around
to the rear, and without note of warning
burst with twelve thousand cavalry on the
enemy. He rode straight through their bro
ken lines, trampling under foot the dead and
dying. Ney was equally successful on the
left, and as the mist lifted, it showed the al
lied wings both driven back, The day wore
away in blood carts, loaded with the
wounded, moved in a constant stream through
tie city; but the French were victorious al
all points; and when night again closed
over the scene, the allied armies had de-
cided to retreat.

A RICH PRACTICAL JOKE.

A friend told us Joke few evenings
|ago-and though it was told US in conf
dence, we cannot resist the temptation of
having i: before our readers, let the conse-
quences be wfa:: they may.
In the western part OF this city live and
flourish two jolly young fellows WHO follow
sign painting for livelih ood-and who are
sometimes in the habit of cutting up what
are termed "high Shines" Ii so occurred
a few days ago that one of the partners had
some outdoor business TO attend to. and
left the shop in the charge of his partner and,
"a little boy who was employed TO grind
paints. During his absence, the partner re-
naming went to work and painted the bows
neck SO as 10 represent a large cash, and
cut over the eye. He then took red paint.
bespa4iered it over the floor, and clotted the
boys hair, and made him lay down in a
corner. He Their painted large cash on his
own cheek, barred his bosom, dsordered his
dress, dipped long bladed knife in the red
paint pot, and patiently awaited the coming
ofhis partner. Directly he heard him at the
door, and the performance commenced-a
The partner stuck his head into the room
door; one glance was sufficient-the boy
was PROSTATE on the floor with his throat cut.
groaning and crying murder-chairs, tables,
benches, Jugs and paint pots, were strewed
around the room in dire confusion. while
the murderous looking partner, with the
bloody looking knife in his uplifted hand,
was running through the room uuering wild
and incoherent expressions. II was evident
that his partner had killed the boy. The
thonght was horrid. Swift as lightning he
flew to his father annd informed him of the
circumstances. A number of friends were
mustered, who repaired TO the scene of ac-
ton. The crowd augmented as it neared
the shop-and in walked the whole posse
but what was their astonishment to find the
boy without mark of any kind, the room in
perfect order. no mark ofblood perceptible.
and the partner engaged in lettering sign!
and utter ignorance of any transaction of the
kind avowed by both him and the boy, to the
other partners great notification; more es-
pecially as the pc sons he brought there hint
ed TO one another that during his absence he
might have indulged too feely in Sire water.'

ANOTHER DOG STORY.

In olden times when the small pox was
considered an unavoidable evil, and the pest
house was regarded as indispensable to the
safety of the community the following cir
cumsances occurred:
The Rev. = c., of --, Mass,
had decided on going TO the pesi-house with
bis entire family, for the purpose of having
the small-p pox The day before they were
to leave home, kind neighbor came in TO
inquire if he could be of any service TO them.
The minister told him that all their arrange
menls were complete, except that they had
made no disposition Of their dog; they were
very unwilling to have him killed, for he was
great favorite in the family; but it would
never do 10 suffer Bose to follow them 10 the
pest-house, for he would be sure TO get out
and carry the contagious disease through the
neighborhood. 81 should hate 10 kill so good
a dog,'' said the neighbor; ''don't you think
he would stay with me?" 81 fear not" said
Parson c., che is very much attached to
our family, and would be quite sure to find
US out; there is no way fer, but TO kill the
poor creature" "WeIl," said the neighbor,
al am going down TO Ms, and on my
way back, will call and kill the dog for you.
So he left them. After while, the neigh
Dor returned to fulfil his promise; but moth
ing could be found of Bose. They then
remembered that while they were talking
over The business, the dog, who had been ly-
ing under the table in the room, got up and
went out. A general call was made, but no
dog came; so the neighbor was compelled to
go home without fulfilling his purpose of Kill
ling Bose.
When neigbor Clark reached his house
what was his surprise to find Parson C.'s dog
ready to receive him. And there the dog
remained during the whole time that the
family were at the hospital. He occasional
ly visited their old house, but never offered
10 60 TO the hospital; he followed his new
master wherever hewent, making his house
his home. Thus he continued to do until
the day when his old master left the pest
house, whe n he returned to the old house,
and welcomed the family with ecstacies oi
Joy, and never more left them except for an
occasional visit to his temporary master.
The above is a perfectly true story. II
was often related by the late DIR. c.,
who was an eye and ear witness Of the cir
cumstances, and was confirmed by the fam
J lily of Mr., Clark, Others may adopt what

SHAVING A NOTE.

OLD SKTNFLiNT was the most celebrated
broker in Philadelphia, his shaving operations
were famous, as he generally took off not
only the beard and whiskers, but ''a pound
of flesh IN addition. Young Harry s.,

VINE and horses, and who form the great ma

Cortland having, at sundry periods, made
"raises," paid off his responsibilities. Al last
he got tired Of such constant borrowing and
re-paying. 1t would be six years before his
estates could be sold, under the terms ofhi
fathers will, who had prudently postponed
that event until Harry should reach the age
of 80, and Harry concluded it would be bet
ter to make heavy operation at once, and
be rid of the bother of continual borrowings.

the incident associated with it, form last
ing and interesting momento of the patriot

the west, with her Inland Seas,'' out of the
care and protection of the United States

about six feel long--ihe whole stalk was

Conclusive experiment with Ayers Bomb.
Cannon.

The experiments with the new IL inch
cannon, recently cast at Ayers foundry,
we've resumed at South Boston Point on
Wednesday, and continued until yesterday
afternoon. In all, it has been fired 90
times, at different elevations, with various
charges, and fuses calculated to burn
different lengths of time. The main ex-
pertinent was tried yesterday with perfect
success, with the regular service charge.
Before the cannon was cast, Col. Bonn
ford, relying upon his calculations, based
upon the proportions ofthe piece. predict
ed that it would carry quarter of mile
furthe" than any shot on record. 1t was
loaded and elevated as follows % lbs.
of powder, and a shell Of 49, lbs, contain
ing Z lbs. of powder, and fitted with Sd
seconds fuse, and elevated to 35 degrees,
being four less than the elevation at which
it may be fred. The shell fell at a dis
tancc of 1-2 miles. at Squantum, butied
itself five feet in rocky bed; where it
exploded, tearing out a pit about IL feet in
diameter at the top, and throwing out rocks
as large as a hogshead. Such a shot ta-
king effect upon a ship must destroy her.
The gun is fixed on wooden carriage,
with iron fastenings, eccentric wheels,
invented by Major Webster. The recoil
on the firing described was % inches
The greatest distance of any shot on rec
ord is three miles and quarter The
length ofthe gun is but 10 feet, the usual
length of long thirty two FOUNDER. In
the course of the afternoon several dis
charges were made with and 0 seconds
fuses, and several shells were exploded at
the height Of about mile, spreading their
fragments over great surface in the wa
ter below, and leaving Suspended in the
air dense body of smoke, resembling a
balloon, and ''nothing else" Several
gentlemen were present from the city to
witness the firing, which was under the
direction of Col. Bomford, assisted by 1t.
Rodman. of the ordnance service.
During the intervals of firing the Goo
lumbian,''' Lieut.. HARDWOOD, of thu navy,
repeatedly fred a new short 30 FOUNDER,
charged with shell, several of which were
made to explode in the air at heights and
distances previously calculated. Several
ricochet shots were also fred with both
guns. One object of these experimentsis
to prove that medium length cannon can
