A HUNGRY BOARDER.

Every one who has boarded at city
| hotel. or boarding house, is aware OF the
| ''srab game" system of operations which
often prevails at these places during meal
time. At every such place there are more
| or less persons with piggish manners and
voracious appetites. who seek to monopo-
lIZc the lions share o! any delicacies which
may be placed on the table; and the others
are consequently compelled to ..lOOk after
Number One in self-defrnce.
Some years ago, one Of our city hotels
was favored with boarder OF this sort,
who had a frishtfully ravenous appetite, TO
which Justice Grecdy's "wasn't circum-
stance.'' lie was a tall, Latern,jawed
chap, with an exceedingly hungry lsok.
and had the dilating powers Of an anacon-
da. Only lchabod Crane, Or huge mouth
ed Guargantua, with his enormous appetite
for ''pIenty Of links, and chttlinss. and
puddings. in their season. could be his
parallel; and what rendered him a moro
formidable competitor al the dinner-tabIe.
was a PAIR of long arms, which enabled
him to swoop in all the "creatare com
forts" far and near, about his plate, while
he b"lted them with rapidity that would
have thrown Graham into Mysteries.
Among other things, he was exceedingly
fond OF strawberries, In their season, aud
generally managed to crowd them 50 fast
int" his ''ab'lominai pantry" that lew Of
the boarders could secure any portion Of
the luxury. One day plan was laid by
the latter with the assistance Of the SER
wants. to mortify him if possible, and
Shame him out of his sluttony.
After he had As usual, cleared the dish Of
its contents. aud had called to the servant,
''John bring me some more of those straw
berries" two Or three walters came in,
bearing huge platter loaded with his IA
vorite luxury, and clearing away a wide
space among the dishes, deposited it before
him. Our hero's eyes sparkIed with per-
feet ecstacy Of delight at the prospect be-
tore him; he coushcd and cleared his
throat - drew his chair nearer to the table
rolled up the cuffs Of his coat-sleeves-
and then proceeded coolly and deliberate
ly. but with amazing celebrity, to relieve the
platter of its contents. In a few minutes,
the entire heap Of straw berries had disap-
pcared-having been transferred with ma
gical dexterity to our hero's stoma ch-. and,
turning to ''Jol,u,'' who was transfiscd with
astoni >hment. he said
''John. couldn't you contrve to scare up
onofhe, dish Of those lrn'o-5erries. some
hoW? And mind. bring me a good tot Of
them, for I should like 10 get MY SHARE Of
them once.

learn that letter was received here on Tuesday

that Pitt has not been arres ted in New York, but
is belived to have taken passage on the steamer

and if he does not conclude to stay at Havanna,
where the steamer also touches he will proba-

Ifhe stops in Cuba, $500 is enough to justify
an officer to go after him and bring him back if
the Cuban authorities will surrender him. But
the failure of the u. S. courts to convict any of

A young doctor Of the Paris Faculty of
Medicine has just made discovery. which
we deem Of Importance to communicate to
our readers. Neuralgia affections are, VI
all others, the most impervious to the art
of medicine. NJ. Desterne, profoundly
convinced Of the science in those affec tiOns,
SO common and SO terrible, has devoted
himself zealously to researches upon the
physioIog cal action Of the nervous system.
Taking for the starting point of his resear-
ches the remarkable results Of the cure of
Neural gia by the cauterization Of the
''heiix, he has discovered method Of
curing instantaneousIy. aud without dis
turbins any organ, all Neuralgia affections
of the head, attacks of megrim. and pains
resulting from teeth in an advanced state
of decay. What renders this discovery
truly marvellous, is the promptness at
once of the cure, and its perfect success
in more than two hundred cases, which
have presented themselves since the 22.l
Of December, the date Of the first expert
ments.
NJ. Destcrre purposes presenting to the
Academy OF Medicine a memoir upon this
important discovery. The presentation Of
the memoir is only retarded by the hope
which the author entertains Of preventing.
