A NEW TELEGRAPH AT BERLIN. On tbe
3Oth OF May last, Mr.. e. w. Siemens of Berlin.
read before the Society OF Arts an account of a
new telegraph 10 constant operation in Germany
me invention OF +. W. Siemens, his brother.
une advantage 1t has is the small amount OF cleo.
tricty required to work il; the current il broLan
IN each instrument before the attraction of tbo
armature OF the electro-magnet is completed
but the more intense the supply of magnetism
the quicker they work. The principal feature in
Sleihen's invention consists in breaking and re.
storing the galvanic current by the electro. mag.
net Itself, at the moment when the yibra,ion ot
the amature to the one side or the other is . nded
This makes il self acting machine. By ,his
telegraph, all important DEBATES in the German
rariament at Frankfort are conveyed $50 miles

A WOMAN BITTEN BY RArTLEsNAKE.
Mrs Hawk of Mashope, Pa, was bitten by

circumstances. She went down celler to the
pork barrel to take out some pork Tor cooking,
and had put her hand into the barrel, when
large rattle snake seized it and inflicted its poison
Gus bite AS the barrel stood near the wall, it
IS supposed that the reptile had made its way into

Mrs II. endured the most intense agony from the
bite; her hand and arm swelled to about three
times its usual size. Various remedies were
used, and the sufferer is pronounced out OF dam

W0man'S LOve. A man who struggled with
a malignant disease, approached that crisis in its
stage on which his lie seemed to depend. Sleep,
uninterrupted sleep, might ensure his recovery.
His ANXIOUS wife, scarcely dared to breathe, was
sitting by his bed her servants exhausted by
constant watching, had all left her. 1t was past
midnight door was open for air; she heard, in
the stiffness OF the night, window open below
stairs, and soon approaching footsteps A mo-
ment more and man with his face disguised, en-
tered the room. She instantly saw her husbands
danger, and anticipating the design of the un-
welcome intruder, she pointed to her husband and
pressing her finger upon her lips to implore ST.
lence, held out to the robber her purse and keys.
To her surprise he took neither. Whether he
was terrified or charmed by the courage OF at-
lection, cannot be knSwn. He lett the room
without robbing house saucthed by such
strength OF affection, and departed.

John G. PaBrey. The Fort Washington Adj

OF Mr. PaItrey and his District:
We regret to learn that John G. Palfrey has
not received sufficient votes to secure his eIec-
ton in the WITH Cong ssonal district in Massa-
chusetts. At the last trial there was no choice
by the people. Mr.. P. is one OF the ripest schol"
ars and most accomplished gentlemen in the
country. He has been most consistent and able
advocate of the principles and policy OF the
North in relation to Slavery, and the country
could i'll afford at the present time to lose one OF
her brightest ornaments from the national coun-
ellis. We hope and trust that he will yet be re-
turned from the WITH District"

Eg There is one fact in connexion with the
cholera, which is singular one: though it has
been but seldom noticed. 1t very rarely attacks
children under IL years of age, and old people are
much less subject to it than those in prime of life.
In some of the villages in Mexico, along the Rio
Grand, and the route thence TO California, into
witch the disease has been carried by American
emigrants, land which have suffered most intensely,
nearly all the middle aged people have persisted,
and the population lett is almost exclusively chill
dren and old people.
