The publishers have expended large sum OF
money to get original drawings Of machinery IN
practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every work on the subject, whether Pnb-

sve as possible. The publishers have endeavored
to great economy in type, so that each page OF

less of cost, to make the work as complete as pos
sible and it is hoped every one DESTROYS to obtain

ADMINISTERING CHLOROFORM TO LEOPARD.
The chetah or hunting leopard, recently pre-
scented to the Geological Society by the Pasha
Of Egypt, having accidentally broken one Of its
legs during its gambols in the cage in which it
is confined, amputation Of the limb was decided
on, and the operation was skilfully performed
on Monday last by Professor Simonds, of the
Veterinary College, Camdentown. Previous to
undergoing the operation, the animal was made
to inhale chloroform by applying to its mouth
and nostrils sponge moistened with that liquid
and fastened to the end of stick. Its dislike
to this part of the process was very loudly ex-
pressed; it soon fell under the influence. OF the
chloroform, evidently, was motionless and quiet
during the operation and until its removal from
the operating table, and placed on some clean
hay in the den, when it speedily revived, and
moved about on its remaining three legs, as
though nothing had occurred,

The CULPEPPER OUTRAGE.-We learn that
Mr.. VIM. Green, one Of the most prominent citi-
zens of Culpepper, appeared before the mob, and
used every effort of eloquence and persuasion, to
induce them to desist from their illegal purpose.
They thanked him for his advice, but declared
that they would have the life Of the negro Ano-
ther gentleman is said to have displayed the
most remarkable bravery, in endeavoring to
save the negro Mt the Jail. Taking his position
at the door, he is represented to have invited
any nine men in the crowd to come forward and
make with him band of ten, to resist with their
lives the assault upon the Jail. The proposition
not being responded to, he deliberately took pa
per, and, before the faces of the mob, wrote
down the names of all the persons he recog-
nized, avowing his purpose to report them to
the legal authorities. Such conduct deserves
the unmeasured applause and support of the
community.
This occurrence in Culpepper has excited in
Richmond, and must excite throughout our law
abiding State, a deep feeling of modification.
No parallel to it has ever before, within our
memory, taken place in Virginia. Thrust be
regarded as one Of those ebullitions of popular
excitement, wholly unjustifable in themselves,
but incident, in some degree, to all commune
ties Many instances in history prove that
men, living in civilized and orderly societies,
may lose all the restraints of reason and law, on
occasions of violent excitement. The people Of
Virginia are so entirely unused to such disor-
ders, that the, enormity of the present one fills
every mans mind with Richmond
Times.

New MEXICO, &c.--BoUNDARY, &c--In an
other column will be found extracts from the
constitution of New Mexico, showing what are
her views as to slavery, and her modest claims to
the property of her neighbors. State-making is
easy in these days This country is no doubt
the go-ahead country of all creation. Pupilage

Utah will shortly appear along side of New
Mexico we predict, and all three knocking Mt the
door of the Union, will seek to be admitted
claiming all the territory about which there is so
much noise made and if Mr.. Clay's adjustment
should be passed, leaving these territories UNI
touched as to the slavery question, they will
adjust it. sure enough! There will never be any
cause after they get in, to fear the dissolution of
the Union, because slavery is excluded from the
public lands, for then there would be no more
public lands. The Alormons, the Apaches Ca
manches, &C., will have stretched the mantle of
their sovereignty over all these districts. This
is non-ntervention by the South This will be
the result Of that cowardly policy that sits STILL
until it is too late to act We used to think

settle-any great compromise insulting and de-

ToBAcco--A writer in the Boston Mercantile
Journal doubts whether the use Of tobacco is as
pernicious as it has been represented to be, He
says:
1t does appear to me, so far MS my observa-
ton has extended, that the classes of people who
use tobacco in chewing and smoking, are the
most robust and healthy part Of the community,
None chew and smoke more than sailors, and
certainly they are hearty and robust class
Many elderly women are confined to their pipe,
as to their food, smoking regularly after their
meals, and live 70 good old age,
