Lac of Distractions on RailroddS.-Judge
Gibson, in a case tried at Pittsburgh before the
Supreme court of Pennsylvania, on Monday of
last week, where a suit was brought to recover
on the Erie railroad the price of an anim2I
which had been killed on the road, laid d1@n
the sound doctrine that IAN owner of cattle,
killed or injured on railway, has n9>fecourSe
to the company or its servants; anT that he is
liable for damage done by thenfo the conpa-
nv or the passengers" The court below had
given different Judgment but the common
sense and legal knowledge of Judge Gibson put
the matter at rest. He says: "The irresponsi-
bility of railway company for all but negh-
gence or wanton injury, is necessity of its crea-
ton. A train must make the time necessary
to fulfil its engagements with the post office and
the passengers; and it must be allowed to fulfil
them at the sacrifice of secondary interest
put in its way else it could not fulfil them at all
The maxim of "salus popui' would be inverted
and the paramount affairs of the public would
be postponed to the petty concerns OF the lndl-
vidual. Every obstruction of railway is un,
lawful, mischievous, and abatable at the cost OF
the owner of it, without regard to his ignorance
or intention The lives of human beings are
not to be weighed in the same scales with the
lives of farmers or grazier's stock; and their
preservation is not to be left to the care which
man takes of his uncared-for cattle.-ScientJic

The cau Mey Execute Criminals in China-

The cay they Execute Criminals in China.-
A correspondent gives an account of the execu-
ton of fftythree criminals at Canton on the lst
of May. After describing the preparations, he
says they were all made to kneel in row, and
three exeeutioners, with sharp swords, commen-
ced chopping the heads off with very little cere-
mony, using both hands, and never giving more
than one blow, man attending behind, holding
the arms up, causing the neck to be in proper
positions. When the head rolled in the mud,
this party give the body push or kick to throw
it on the ground from a kneeling position. fresn
swords were used after every three or four cuts
we're made, and the whole affair could not nave

The ptce Of fLRtemperdace.-T alarming ins
crease ofiD.emperance and the extraordinary a.
mount OF crime growing out of it, are creating
profound sensation in the minds of the lovers of
order and morality throughout the land, and
every where people are canvassing in their
mind the means to be adopted of fabating an E.
vii Of so great enormity. That it is a Nuisance
OF extraordinary enormity, no candid, unpreiu-
diced man, whose opinions are of any value, and
who has taken any pains to observe the course
OF events and the amount of crime resulting
from intemperance and Drunkenness can or will
pretend to deny. Ii becomes then the highest
duty of the citizen, patriot and phianthropist, to
deliberately investigate and calmly resolve upon
the most available means of abating such a nui-
sance. That they have the power and that it is
their duty, we entertain no more doubt than we
do of their power to abate any other nuisance.
and we all know that they have plenary power
to abate many nuiSanceS not one hnndredth part
soIestructiye to life, liberty, and the good order,
,peace, dignity and morals of society," as that of
intemperance.
We have been led to these remarks, BY read
ing the following extract from the Presentments
ofthe Grand Jury of Cass county. Similar
sentiments had previously eminated from
Grand jury the same county, and also from
Monroe county. The question presented is of
grave Importance, and must sooner or later be
", weighing carefdr1y Che sri5Jgtr; IN f rs4
ings, and then make up their decisions. If they
are patriots and philanthropists they can arrive
at but one conclusion, to abate the nuisance, by
prohibiting the sale at retail of intoxicating
drinks
We are not unmindful of the fact that the ut
terance of this sentiment will excite among the
demagogues. of the day and the ale-hOuse politi-
clans no little clamor. We are prepared for all
this. We have surveyed the whole ground.
We have watched with a deep anxiety the pro-
gress of drunkenness and the daily increase of
crime the Immediate consequence of it, and we
are prepared to do our duty, our whole duty to
the country and our fellow beings in an earnest
and honest effor, to rid the country of the evil;
1--WE earnestly request our representatives in
the next Legislature to promote the passage of
an act submitting to vote of the people the
question, whether or not it be their will to have
law enacted suppressing the retail Of spurious
liquors in this State. This question, if discon-
aected with all political contests, and let to
the calm, sober and unbiased expression of
public sentiment, we confidently believe Will be
decided in the affirmative, and the strong arm
of the law, in obedience to popular Will, can
then be Justly exercised in the suppression of
this ubiquitous and destroying business.

an EEperimem.-Borrow a gold ring from
your wife, (f you are not SO fortunate as to have
wife, any gold ring will do,) and suspend it by
silk thread from the first joint of the right fore
finger taking care to disconnect this finger
from contact with any other finger or thumb
Then pile up some books, or some convenient
article to the height of eight or tensinches and
resting your arm thereon to steady it, allow the
ring to become Stationary Then let some one
push under the suspended ring (which you are
to hold about an inch from the surface of the
table) piece of metal-Say half dollar: YOU
will Immediately perceive that the ring will
commence vibratory motion, invariably in the
same direction; to and from you. At first the
motion will be gentle, as if stirred by puff of
air, but Will gradually become rapid and excited
While the ring is thus swinging to and fro, let
a woman touch your left hand; to your astonish-
ment the ring will soon take transverse motion
crossing Its former track; let the woman re-
move her hand, the original motion will be re-
sumed But should you be in the habit of drink
ing freely, or using tobacco excessively, the ring
will not be removed at all, or only in obedience
to the impulse received from tremor.
Now, is this motion impaired to the ring by
the impulse? If you think so, direct the metal
to be removed, and let a chunk of tobacco or a

vailing rates are 81 on time. AT st. Louis,
slaughterers are ready, and the money is ready

to be packed there the forthcoming season, at
10000. There is larger hog crop than was
anticipated in the Grand river, Mo-, country, and
the abundance of corn and promise of good pri-
ces, will prompt farmers to fattea all the hogs
