ResoIy;mCa Difficulty.

As the chambermaid of the steamboat
upon the Ohio was passing out of the Ia
dies cabin, an old lady, in plaintive hus-
ky tone, requested her to shut the door,
as she had caught such bad cold at De-
roitshe was almostdead. Atthis moment
a very phthisicy old lady occupying a
berth near the door, forbade the girl to
shut it on account of her shortness OF
breath.
"Shut it or I'll die" squeaked the De-
troit lady
"Leaveitopen, or TllsmothertO death, y
gasped the other.
As the war wax warm, wag in the
adjoining cabin, thrusting his head from
his berth, decided the chambermaid' Is
quandary, by ordering her to "open tha
door until the Detroit lady dies of her
cold-and then close it until the other
one smothers to death"

Slave Whipped 10 death

The Winchester Vs,g5nlan gives the par
ticulars of a horrid affair in Clark county,
Va, on Wednesday week, which has ex-
cited great Indignation in that section
The result of it was that Col. James Cas-
tleman, and his son Stephen, were indicted
on Monday last for having cruelty and un-
mercifully beaten two slaves the Wednes-
day previous, causing the death of one OF
them,) belonging to the former. They
have been held to bail in the sum of S5,-
600 each.
The Winchester Republican says:
From the evidence of the principal wit
ness, white laborer, the negro was fast
ened up for punishment by having bis
hands tied, and a chain put around his
neck and thrown over beam, and locked
just leaving length for the unfortunate
object to stand upon the ground. lie
was then whipped with the tong strap Of
a wagon having heavy buckle at the
end, having been previously stripped
that the blows might be laid on the bare
skin. After beating him in the most
unprecedent manner, for some time, they
left him bound in the situation described
for the purpose of whipping his compan
ion. The occurrence tookplacc aboutsun
set. A son of Castleman deposed thai
about ten o'clock at night his father
came into his house, and announced that
the negro was dead. He had been left
in the standing position in which he was
whipped, and died in that way.

Horrible Death.

The Pottsyille Emporium says that on
the arrival of train of Coal Cars at
Mount Carbon, during Saturday night,
fragments of a human body were found
attached to brake of one of the Cars,
and on examination other portions of the
same body were found strewed along the
road from below Schuylkill Haven to the
point above named, a distance of some
six or eight miles, Nothing was known
respecting the individual who had thus
been horribly mutilated, but it was con-
iectured that in an attempt to get into
one of the Cars somewhere below Land
ingville, the poor fellow had been caught
in the brake and thus held as IN vice
until, he VA literally ground to atoms

The SeIf-Enoving Carriage.

The Paris correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, in late letter, says:
"Two years ago, l described for an
American paper, the self-moving carriage
of NJ Provost. Since that time, Mr.. P.
has travelled in it over a great part Of
France, visiting Tours, Saumur, Orleans,
Chatres, Havre and other places. He is
now in Paris on his way to Bordeaux
He travels with ease to himself, for the
force employed is not the muscular
strength applied to pedals or eranks, but
the weight of his person, which puts in
movement the machinery on much the
the srme principle with the weight of a
clock. On ordinary roads, (thcy are Ma.
cadamized in France NJ. Provost travels
from sixty to eighty miles a day. The
carriage is about six feet by three and
the machinery not visible from the out
side"

the northern pole in the cause of discovery !;
but richer than all, than gold pearls, or dis
covered lands, are the powers of knowledge
and mental improvement, which the humblest
laborer may possess, and exercise, and i'm
prove, at his own fireside. How strange,
then, that men should exercise themselves to
a skill that can hammer horseshoe into the
perfection ofshape, and yet be coutent to leave
their own minds without form and void. We
say, then, to the young men of our land a.
wake to the dignity of your calling. 3

Internal MACHINES for cuba.

A person in Norfolk, Va, writes to the Gu
ban Junta in New York, profering them the
use ofeight "infernal exterminating seven bar
rel guns" Each instrument, he says, will
discharge two hundred ounce-and-a-half balls
per second, the discharge being made as fast
as the piece can be aimed. The eight ma
chimes would thus discharge sixteen hundred
balls per second, moving down, he says, to a
deadly certainty, any enemy that dared TO ap-
proach. Only one man is required to work
each machine. One man could, therefore,
discharge $4,000 balls per hour.

Good News for Peach Growers.

We have seen peach trees in the Dis
trict of Columbia, this summer, having
much larger and more delicious peaches
than our more Northern fruit, and the
trees in the highest state of perfection,
in consequence of being painted near
the root by a cheap chemical paint, pre-
pared by j. c. Lewis, Esq, of Washing
ton. This preparation works the almost
instant destruction of the grub worm,
the enemy of both tree and fruit, and 30
great an enemy that it is common thing
for them to destroy the fruit entirely in
from three to FIVE years. Having seen
the perfection of the remedy and the
vigor of the tree and fruit in consequence
of its application, we can recommend it
to our friends in New York, New jersey,
Delaware, and every where where peach
orchards are in cultivation,-Nt4c York

WOULD NOT DIE,

A correspondent is furnishing the Balti
more Dispatch, with series of amusing DO
etical effusions. The following is good par
ody on the song-"I would not die in Spring
Time"-and contains much of what San
Slick calls Sc human nature"
would not die in Spring time,
When worms begin 10 crawl;
When cabbage plants are shooting up,
And frogs begin to squall:
IT'S then the girls are full of charms,
And smile upon the men,
When lamb and peas are in their prime
would not perish then.
would not die in Summer,
When trees are filled with fruit
And every sportsman has gun,
The little birds to shoot.
The girls then wear their Bloomer dress,
And half distract the men,
1t is the time 10 sweat it out
would not perish then.
/ would not die in Autumn,
When new-mown hay smells sweet,
Aud little pigs are roofing round
For something nice to eat.
lis then the huntsman's wild halloo,
Is heard along the glen,
And oysters gin to fatten up
l would not perish then.
| would not die in Winter
For one might freeze to death;
When clustering Boreas sweeps around,
And takes away ones breath.
When sleigh bells jingle-horses snort,
And buckwheat cakes are tall;
In fact; this is right good world,
| would not die at all

New Building Material.

The Bridgeton On. J,) Chronicle gives

which house in that place is now erect
ing. They are made of sand, gravel, and
lime, and are about fifteen inches long,
nine inches wide, and six inches thick
After the material is put toghether the
brick is allowed to dry and harden before
they are put into the building: Houses
buiit of this brick are said to be as durable
as those of any other material.
