 The driver stops, and In an insiati; [she says) lhe carnage was surrounded wifh the most frighlful-look set of fellows ever looked at.

 NIcE BuslNEss FOR BEREAyED IiUs- BAND.--There is now exhibiting in Brook lyn, a collection of wax figures, the most atiractire of which are disgusiing..represen- talions of some of the most frighllal murders that have of late years been committed, in which the figures of the murderers and their victims are said 10 strongly resemble the originals. Mr. Bickford, the husband of the woman Bickford, who was murdered in Bos- ton, stands by the figures of his wife and Tirrel. both excellent iikenesses. He ex- poses the garments his wife had on at the time of her awful death, and which are stained with her blood, and relates all tie horrible circumstances attending the murder, Any where out of New Zealand, except on Long island, says the Baltimore Sun, such an exhibition would not be tolerated. Unless Mr. Bickford has fallen ia. love with grief, and desires to keep hi$ wounds open, he must be horrible, unnatural and revoitnig fellow.-Dettd.
