The following story has been told, and
will do TO tell again. An associate Judge
in this State having been kicked by horse,
word of the accident was sent to The Court
then in session. Another of the judges on
the bench at the Lme, after hearing the in
tellgcnce, moved an adjournment, as his
associate had been severely kicked by a
horse, and stated, by a lapsus lingue, that
he now lay sensible. A lawyer hereupon
arose and observed, in a solemn tone, if such
was the case, it was great pity the whole
Court could not be kicked by same animal.

GOLD ON The lsrmMus OF PANAmA-
GREAT EXCITEMENT! - Every day the
people through Panama appear to become
more and more excited about the recent
discoveries Of gold made in the neighbor-
hood, and even the lelhergic natives are be.
stirring themselves, and anxious to procure
an interest in any company that may Be
formed 10 explore the mines.
The parties who made the discovery tell
a very straight forward story relative thereto,
and the samples of gold which they have
produced, with letters which they have
brought from respectable natives in the
Heighborhood, remove all doubt as to, the
existence of the precious metals in abuad-
anse not ar from ihe ejiy.
One or two projects are on foot for the
establishment Of companies TO proceed to
the mines Immediately, and the probability
is that in day or two a goodly number Of
spectators will be on their way to this new
FL Dorado
We hope that those who undertake The
expedition will meet with success, and we
are tolerably confident, from our own per-
sonal knowledge, that if properly conduct
ed they are certain of making their pile be-

Another attempt was made, short time
since, at the Hippodrome, Paris, to solve
heproblem ofsteering balloons. Aballoon,
in shape like whale, was filled with gas,
and attempted to be guided by means Of a
shaft of wood, suspended horizontally, with
a sail at the end, TO act as a rudder. To
this shaft was affixed platform, with a
steam engine of four horse power, working
a screw with three terminal paddles, like
three sails of windmill. The experiment
was made in presence of several scientific
men, but was unsuccessful.

INFLUENCES OF THE Moon UPON THE
WEATHER.-A Paris astronomer has pub
lished the results Of twenty years observa-
tions upon the influence Of the moon upon
the weather. From the new moon 10 the
first quarier il rained during The period Of
twenty years embraced an the caleulalioBl
764 days from the first quarter 10 the full
moon It rained S45 days; from the full
moon TO the last quarter i rained 761 days;
and from the last quarter to the new moon
il rained 696 days. So that during the
moons increase there were 1,609 rainy
days, and during her decrease only 1,457,
q difference of SO days. The difference Is
more likely to have been accidental than
the result OF any natural cause, and the con-
clusion which we derive from the statement
is, that the moon has no influence upon the
weather. t-s -..r

STEAMBOAT CoLLissloN ON LAKE ERlg--
THREE HUNDRED LIVES LOST l-One Of
the most fright(ul and destructive accidents
that ever occurred in this country, took
place on lake Erie. About two O'Clock on
the morning of the 10th of August, tho
steamer Atlantic, with $50 persons on board,
bound from Buffalo for Detroit, was run in
to by the propeller ogdensbuIgh, and some
three hundred persons were drowned IL
appears that the steamer ran across the
bows of the 0gdensburgh, and was struck
forward of the whecl-house, on The larboard
side. The propeller's engine had been re-
ve:scd some ten minutes before the coils
sion-the steamer continued on her course
until she had rlln some three miles from
the place Of contact before her engine was
stopped. which Was caused by The water ex-
tinguishing her FIRE. The lake was covered
for miles with floating fragments and per-
sons clinging for life. rais't
The forward cabin below was occupied
by about $50 men, women and children, all
of whom must have perished. When the
propeller struck her, her bow opened and
the water rushed in in torrents, filling the
cabin in an instant and causing almost i'm
mediate death to those who were sleeping
there The principal loss Of life appears to
have been from this cause, and in conse-
quence of some Norwegians, who were
sleeping on the main deck, jumping over

INTERNATIONAL CoNoREss OF SCIENCES
AND STATISTICS. cs.-The National Intelligen-
Ger states that the efforts of Mr.. Kennedy,
chief Of the Census Bureau, for the estab-
lishment of an international Congress Of
Science and Statistics, have interested a
number of tho distinguished literary men Of
Europe in their furtherance, and are likely
10 prove altogether successful. Acting up
on the suggestion Of Mr.. Kennedy, the Off
GERS Of the Belgian Government after cor
responding with the savans Of other Euro
poan nations, have taken the initiative by
calling meeting at Brussels next month
for the purpose Of Organizing an Internation-
al Scientific Congress. Baron Quetelet,
Director of the Royal Observatory at Brus-
sells, has addressed Mr.. Kennedy on the
subject, explaining the steps that have been
taken and the programme that will be here,
alter pursued. 1t is proposed to divide the
Congress into sections, each Of which shall
pursue the investigations committed 10 it.
The first section will be devoted 10 " gene
raj statistics, territory and population "
the second TO production and consuution :"
the third 10 "the state of education and
morals" The Intelligencer suggests that
as the formation of the Congress was an
American idea, it is important that this
country should be suitably represented init.

persons imagine the cost of acquiring and
preserving the title. The fattering dis

drain upon the purse. We have noticed
that your clever fellows % often turn out

This is the title of book recently pub

scribes an interesting incident, and will give

with Mr.. Simpson, that he had engaged 10
do large amount Of work for publishing
house in the city. Sufficient time had been
given TO accomplish il without an extra eff
fort.i But one evening, towards the close
Of the job, the publisher suddenly appeared
in the Office. He and Mr. Simpson were
alone together sometime. When the Office
was closed for the evening, Mr.. Simpson
told us that the work must be finished in
three days, at the farlhest, and that we must
beslir ourselves carly enough in the morn
ing. II was my duty 10 open the Office and
prepare it for work.
"Tom,' said Mr.. Simpson, / want you
to get up and do Roberts work tomorrow

Yes, sir answered Tom, though in no
willing tone.
When We went 10 bed, a tremendous

without. The cold was extreme, and the
wind q furious North. Easter. soon for

The Patrie, Paris paper, says that expert
