ground between the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the clabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz

three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ

the " Westminster Review " Liberal. The C North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views on any o. the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by Lr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-in-aw. Or. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is OF the
very highest order. The " Westminstei,o though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title Of the Forelgn Quarterly and

Reviews formerly published and reprinted uader sepa

repeated two or three times. | saw that
one Of her chicks-a few DAYS od-had
fallen into the Jar, and was about going to
Its relief, when the dog sprang up and ran
10 the Jar. He seemed to deliberate for a
moment, then put his nose deep into the
Jar, and not succeeding in taking the chick
en- out, placed his paw upon the edge of

The Stone-b breaker.

On Thursday last, Monsieur Gregoire,
the Hercules of the Franklin Museum,
called at our office to give US ocular proof
Of his immense strength. We had proyi-
ded half dozen of the IageSt and tough
ut kind OF paving stones-quarlz, granite,
and fint-tor him to spar with. One or
two of them we thought would bother him,
but they did not. He wrapt coarse Os-
naburgh towel around his right hand, so as
to leave a wa6 of it resting upon the lower
part Of the palm, and then raising his inn
mense arm, the upper part Of which is as
thick as an ordinary mars thigh, he smote
the solid granite stone we had given him to
experiment upon, with downright blow
that made the whole office quiyer. AT the
third stroke, the solid mass was riven in
twain. Some Of the stones he shivered in
to many fragments. twas indeed won

goire is a native of Corsica, the birthplace
of Napoleon. That island, we think, may
now claim to have produced the strongest
man as well as the greatest man Of modern
times. We understand tIat the force of
Gregore's perpendicular blow is equal to
1900 pounds; and he can give a man

from it would be Ito use the words Of Mr..

have some idea of the kick of horse or

A Mr.. Riley, lecturing lately on music,
told an amusing story of an organist OF Ben
COR The latter was very particular as to
the nature of his meals, aud having gone
to church on Sunday without leaving the
usual directions, the anxious wife sent her
little boy for instructions. When the boy
reached the church, he found they had just
commenced the Tc Deum, aud fearing to
wait until it was finished, he crept up to his
father and commenced singing in the treble
voice (sOtto Uoce)-

A Canada paper gives an account of the
recent benedction of locomotive by the
Roman Catholic dgnitaries of Montreal.
At the railway depot party of some dozen
or so of priests appeared in their robes, and
awaited the coming OF the Archbishop.
Meanwhile a space on the rail was cleared
in front Of raised dais, and the engine,
decorated with protusion of flowers, was
brought up to receive its benediction.-
Presently the archieplscopal carriage, with
four llveried servants, arrived. Soon the
Archbishop, in mitre and flowing robes,
preceded by priests bearing folio volumes
and lighted candles, and holy water pots,
aud umbrellas and others blessing tools,
came out on the platform, and began to ad.
dress himself to his task. He began to chant
from a large volume some form, but wether
