A QUEER PLACE OF DEPosIT--On
Thursday morning, a young man lon
Baltimore had hearing before thu
Mayor at Philadel phia, on a charge Of
intoxication. The offender paid bis
:tne and was discharged. He subsequent
" ln,,nced an officer to go with him in
search OF some funds he had disposed Of
the previous night. The twain went
toget her to Gold street, and there in a
chink of the wall of the Bank Of Penn
sylvania, was found roll OF notes to The
amount of $3.50. The hoozy indlvldu-
al finding the night previous that he was
not in proper condition for taking care
Of his cash, went to the bank for the pur-
pose of making a deposit; finding the
institution closed, he stuffed his money
in the chnk where it wls found, first
taking out five dollar bill to pay his
fine in the event Of being arrested for
drunkenness. Our providcnt friend
took his recovered cash to Mr.. Davis,
the Mayors clerk, with whom he left it
for sair-keeping until he should become
perfectly sobered. On Friday morning
he was in that desirable condition, and
the full amount of his deposit returned
to him. We consider this on" OF the
funniest instances Of providence and fol-
", torrlhought and recklessness that
ever came under our notice.

THE WAR IN CHlHA-Hs Burbarttjes.
The advices from China give shock
ing accounts Of the baiharltitS which
are committed at the sacking Of towns
and on the field of battle. 1t is stated
that in one engagement one thousand
were killed, besides large number who
were drowned by being pushed into a
river; in another seven thousand We're
killed; in another seven hundred We're
burnt to death and three hundred killed
only ninety prisoners having been
brought in by the victors; but they had
the heads of one hundred and fifty 9TH
rrs. Numerous engagements are men
toned where thousands peIlshed. The
Emperor appears to set the example OF
barbarous cruelty. When one Of his
officers is defeated he fakes his head oil.
Every general, therefore, is fig ht'ng for
his own head.
DEATH OF THE Fastest Horse IN THE
WoRLD-The bay ge.ding, says the New
York Tribune, who performed on Sat
urday last the most remarkable feat ri
speed and bottom ever recorded in the
history Of the turf, died on Saturday
night. A6er he had performed that
UMPIRE cedented race against time, going
100 miles in s hours and 80 minutes, on
the Long Island Centreville course, he
was taken to the stable, where he was
BLEED, and then covered with six or eight
thick blankets. 1t is the prevailing opin-
ION among horsemen, that this superb
bundanCe Of covering. while in an eX-
hausted state, caused the death Of this
noble animal. We also learn that the
celebrated PAGER, Hero, who performed
the extraordinary trotling feat on Friday
is very low, and it is feared that he also
will die.
