the church should cease or, in other words that

Boys Marbles.

There is something strange in the manu-
facture of boys marbles. The greater part
of them are made of hard stone found near
Cobourg, in Saxony. The stone is first bro;
ken with hammer into small cubical frag-
ments, and about 100 to $50 Of these are
ground at one time in mill somewhat like
-four mill. The lower stone, which remains
at rest, has several concentric circular grooves
or furrows; the upper stone is of the same
diameter as the lower, and is made TO revolve
by water or other power. Minute streams
of water are directed into the furrows of the
lower stone. The pressure OF the runner on
the little pieces roll them over in all direc-
tions. and in about quarter Of an hour the
whole of the rough fragments are reduced
into nearly accurate spheres,

Ensv shavinr

Mr.. Boudet, a French chemist, in a com
rnunicatinn to the Journal de Pharmacie,
gives the following formula for depilatory
Take Of splrhuric ofsodium, or hydroshl-
.phate of soda, crystalized, 8 parts; quick
lime; in powder, 10; starch 10, mix. This
powder mixed with little water, and appli-
ed over the skin, acts so rapidly as adepila-
tory, that if it be removed in minute OF
two after its application by means OF !, 9
wooden knife, the surface Of the skin will
be entirely deprived Of hair. BY this pro-
cess the removal of the hair becomes SO
simple, rapid, and safe in operation, that il
in many cases. Ii may be applied to parts
most delicate, as well as irregular, and to
surfaces either limited or extended, and it is
only after several days that the hair begins to
reappear.

The lady of Mr.. Douglas, Of this city was,
the latter part Of last summer, very suddenly,
and without any perceptible cause, seized
with violent and continued cough. Fears
were entertained that it was produced by
consumption, and the usual remedies resorted
to in that disease were given for her relief
up to Sunday evening last, but without the
least effect. On that evening, while convul-
sed with a severe cough, Mrs. d. threw
from her windpipe large horse fly, after
which she was Immediately relieved, giving
the lady and her friends the most satisfacto-
ry evidence that the fly had been the only and
sole cause of several months of the most in
tense pain and suffering. This is certainly
very singular case.-Madison (Ia.) Banner

A Singular decision.

In Wilkes county, Georgia, few days
since, a man named Lovett was tried for
the murder Of another, name Bell. The
only testimony against him was the dying
declaration Of the murdered man. The
counsel of the defendant, one Of whom was
Mr.. Toombs, raised the point that the sixth
article Of amendments to the Constitution
of the United States guaranteed to every
man accused of crime the right to be
confronted with the witness against him,
&c." To admit the dying declaration ol
the deceased. it was further contended, was
avirtual denial of this right, and the court
so believing ruled out the testimony. The
prisoner was discharged.

THE LATE NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA
PER STEAMER GEORGIA.

Much complaint was made by the people of Cali
forna gans Congress for providing for the wants
OF the people, among some of which enumerated are
mint, a post office, mail routes, land titles, &C.
The recent rains have greatly swollen the small rivers
and opened navigation many of Them They have
also given miners in the dry dggngs better chance
work out ore. Many and rich veins have been
discovered
The political complexion of the Legislature of Cali
fornia is still in doubt. Both parties claim the ascen-
dancy. The Alta California thinks the Legislature
will be Democratic. The election, however, which
was to come OIL in Sacramento might possibly change
the majority in favor OF the Wings.
The appointments Of State officers have given gen.
eral satisfaction.
