New York Reapcr.--Among the prominent
articles which have been exhibiting on the ma
chnery grounds at the State Fair, there is one Of
which we have omitted therefore, TO make mention.

manufactured by Seymour Morgan & Co. AT the
recent State trial of reapers in Ohio, this machine

A Scamp Arrested.--A man named Don Car
los .de Castro Alias Earnest David Schenck, was
arrested in Frenchs hotel, N. Y, last week,
charged with attempting 10 stab young man
named Philip McCarty al Niblo's Theatre. The
Express says of him -
This gentleman is said TO be extensively known
in Florida and other southern States an accom-
pIished libertine, and is somewhat celebrated for
his novel mode of procuring living He plays
on the piano-iorte and sings admirably, besides
being a lady's man" in the highest sense of the
term. He manages TO gain access into some
wealthy family with daughters, whom he delights
with his music and other accomplishments, and
after few calls, is while in the house, taken sud
denly i'll and, of course, is put 10 bed Some days
elapse before his recovery, and by this time he has
become quite intimate in the family. He then
ruins one of the daughters and threatens her with
exposure ii she fails to beg, borrow or steal $500
800 for him, and thus he gets his living. So
says a wealthy merchant who called on the chief
of police some months since, and stated that his
family had been disturbed by this scamp.

Affairs In Canada.--The next term of the SUI
preme Court will commence at Montreal on the
fourteenth of the present month, when the trials
will take place of those who have been arrested
for the part they took in the riot Of the ninth of
june and the firing of the troops, by which some
fifteen or eighteen lives were lost Besides those
who are suspected of having caused the riotous
assemblage Lieut.. Colonel Hogarth, who COM
manded the troops, and Capt. Cameron and Lieut.
Quentley, who had charge of the two divisions,
with the mayor, who is supposed TO have given
the general order to fire, are all at large upon bail
The government, il appears, are apprehenslye
of renewed disturbances during the sitting OF the
court, and as means of precantion have ordered
down from Toronto two hundred embodied pen
soners, who are empowered by law of the prov
ince To act as policemen when required by the civil
authorities .
II is not probable that any convictions will be
the result of the impending trials but careful
analysis of the evidence that may be produced
will determine whether the troops received the
usual and regular orders TO fire. and secondly,
by whom they were given. Lieut. Colonel IIo-
garth swore before the coroner's inquest that he
did not. Thirteen of his men, upon whose testl-
mony he has been arrested, swear that he did.

j LITERARY MESSENGER for 1854. TWEEN
tieth volume. In issuing the prospectus of the
Twentieth volume of the Soufhern Literary Mes
senger, the proprietors beg TO assure the public
that exertons will be remltted on their part TO
maintain the high character Of the work, and TO
challenge the patronage of all who value sterling
literary merit. For nineteen years, the Messen-
ger has endeavorcd to reflect faithfully the south
ern mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly
periodicals ofAmerica, in defence of the peculiar
institutions in the southern States. To this office
il will still be devoted, and will be prompt to re-
pei assaults upon the south, whether they come
under the specous garb OF fiction, as in Uncle
Toms Cabin, or iii the direct form of anti-savery
pamphlets. At this critical Juncture, while our
enemies are employing literature as their most po-
tent weapon of attack, the southern people will
surely not withhold their encouragement from
work whose aim il shall be to strike blows in their
defence. ts.
The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its
readers with reviews historical and biographical
sketches, novels tales travels, essays, poems
critiques and papers on the army navy, and other
national subjects. mE
And while the proprietors do not appeal to the
pubic, on the score of long list of contributors
they may refer with pride 10 the following names,

The Pennsylvania Railroad.--The Harris
burg Union speaks in very complimentary terms
of the accommodations atiordedby the above com
pany TO persons visiting the late agricultural fair
at Piitsburg The Union says
We cannot refrain from expressing our gratif-
cation at the manner in which the Pennsylvania
railroad accommodated the public during the three
days of the State agricultural fair. We are well
aware of the difficulty attending the accommoda-
ton of such an immense crowd but so far as we
heard it done i'm the most satisfactory man
Although the cars were crowded TO over
flowing, there was an accommodating spirit mani
tested, by both the officers of the road and the pub
lie, that made everything pass off pleasantly and
agreeably. When the road is completed with a
east to the west, and every Pennsylvania will
feel proud of having such work passing through

The Ascent Of Mont Blanc.--The Philadel
phia Register says: Among the numerous places
of public amusement that now open in this
city, we can recommend few SO warmly as Mr..
John T.. Owens panorama of the Ascent of Mont
Blanc. The pictures are faithful, and the execu-
ton good--as good as so difficult a subject will
readily admit OF. The plain sailing along the
shores of river can be more easily handled by
the painter than snowy theme as the one in
question, and il is matter for congratulation that
the artists have succeeded in portraying 50 faith
fully so difficult subject.
But the most entertaining part of the exhibition
is the marginal notes of the clever exhibitor Mr..
Owens, whose comments upon 'men, manners
and mountains" as the canvas slowly shifts from
one scene TO another, form new order of public
entertainments, both funny and Instructive for
which he should have due credit as the founder.

Fatal Accident.--On Monday of last week,
we learn that Mr.. John Hanson came TO his death
in the following manner: Mr.. ii. was hauling
coal from the mountain above Mr.. II. Pitman's,
and shortly after leaving the pit, he came 10 the
brow OF hill on the road, where il was necessary
for the wagon TO be locked; but the man who was
To have performed that service failing 10 overtake
the wagon in time, the unfortunate young man
supposed that all was right and proceeded to de-
scend the hill without making halt. The heavily
loaded wagon soon gained a velocity that rendered
il impossible for the mules TO hold it back Mr.
III. either jumped or thrown from the mule
under the saddle, sufficient distance from the
road to have escaped injury, but, holding on to the
line, he was thrown under the wheels, one of which
passed diagonally across his chest, crushing his
ribs and lungs in most shocking manner. AL
though thus mortay injured, as soon as the wagon
had passed over him, Mr.. II. sprang TO his feet and
went IN pursuit ofthe mules, but he fell before he
had proceeded far, and expired Immediately &
Strange it may appear, the mules kept the
wagon in the road in its meandering course until
they descended the hill, without having received
the least injury.-Ie,,M Legion. t

AudntAC SuDAAdIiMS AClCS aPus--l nc Now
York Times informs us that the company has been
organized, and the stock subscribed, for subma-
rne telegraph between Liverpool and New York
ria Galway, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and
for extending subterranean branches of il every
part of Europe. Ii is said that the process 10 be
used is one newly invented by gentleman of Mas
sachusetts, who has discovered a mode of i'm
mensely increasing the conducting capacity of lele-
graphic wire, and also way OF laying down the
wire, both under sea and land much cheaper than
any used hitherto. The whole length of the route
from Galway TO New York, as thus marked out, is
about $500 miles. The cost per mile for the sub
marine wire, on the improved plan, is estimated al
less than S600-the cost by the methods now IN
use, on the cheapest scale would be fully Soo0
For the subterranean portions of the route, the
estimated cost is about 5000 per mile, which is less
than third of the cost OF such lines now in use
The facility with which the line be built on the
new plan, is said 10 be such that the construction
of the whole route from Liverpool TO New York
can be accomplished in six months from It's COM
mencement, so that, if the company begins its OPP
erations, it is now contemplated by them as
early in the ensuing spring as the state OF the
ground and the weather will permit we may con-
fdenty anticipate a direct telegraphic communi-
cation with Europe by the opening of next autumn.
The project is in the hands of responsible and in
tellgent men, and will undoubtedly be carried
through.-PhH San.
