RAPID EXECUTION OF MUs1o.-Mr. Lard
ner, in recently commenting upon the
speed of seventy miles per hour attained
on the Great Western Railroad of Eng
land, remarked, that at that rate OF speed
the engine " coughed" twenty miles in a
second number impossible for the ear
to separate and distinguish. Now, under
the direction Of a great leader we have
heard forty violins in the corda OF an over
ture firmly attack passage of groups
OF eight notes. and with lig6tning-iike ra.
pidity play them perfectly together, as if
oy one instrument, each note being most
distinctly appreciable by the ear. The
effect on the audience was electrical, ex-
citing to the last degree Happening to
have a watch in hand at the moment we
calculated the speed of the players, and
found, for twenty seconds, three groups
or twenty -four notes a second, were play-
ed by each. Thus. in each second, thew
play nine hundred and sixty notes. and in
the twenty seconds, or one.third of a mi
mute, eighteen thousand two hundred
notes, and had single one of these notes
been misplaced, highly cultivated and
naturally susceptible musical ear would
have discovered aud been displeased by
it. ' y

A Man WIrH TwENrY wfvEs-A. man
calling himself DIR. VIM. Hunter. but
whose real name is said to be Nathaniel
Bird, is in Jail at Camden. N. j., on a
charge of bigamy, and various other char
ges. On Sunday Elizabeth Harrington,
a lady of Philadelphia, visited him in
prison, and ascertained he was the man to
whom she was married on the 18th of Ju-
ly last. On the same day he was visited
by another lady from Kensington, named
Mary Thomas, to whom he was married
in May last. 1t is also stated that he has
wife in Reading, another in Whining
ton, Del, and another yet in Philadel-
phia. The prisoner is only about 23 years
of age, and, it is stated, declares that he
has tsOenty wives, a statement which may
be true, as more than one. fourth of that
number has been found within few days.
1t is alleged that he abandoned each wife
soon after marriage, and that they never
heard of him after until his recent arrest.
The affair creates the greatest excitement
in Camden, and has inducedsan immense
number of people to seek admission for
the purpose of seeing him.

A DISAPPOINTED OFFICE SEEKER

His claims were rejected. He writes an
article which breaths the right spirit. The
following is his conclusion-the summing

Disappointment Of Office in numerous

the absence of the French Minister ut

he returned to the Capital. The Govern

TREMENDOUS F1eur BETWEEN FEMALES

TREMENDOUS FIGHT BETWEEN FEMALES.
"A most disgraceful exhibition. says the
Pittsburg Post. took place in Allegheny
city few days ago. between two young
ladies. One fancicd herself secure in the
affections of a nice young man. when the
other stepped in and either by force of SUI
perior charms, OF by the frailty of the
male biped. succeeded in bringing him to
her feet. Miss A. couldn't stand tit was
too much for flesh and blood to bear.
Yesterday the two ladies met, and Miss
a. commenced au attack upon Miss B.,
and such was the bitterness existing be-
tween the two. that not one word was
spoken. and that's strange too considering
they were women. but at it they went.
First, the bOnnets were torn off, then the
shawls, and handkerchiefs followed. the
dress came next. and theu-but no matter
what; bur within few minutes the two
young ladies were standing within a ring
which had been formed. perfectly denu-
ded of their clothing, with the exception
of their shoes and stockings. Such was
the bitterness of feeling existing. that the
fight would have continued, had not rel
alive of one of the combatants succeeded
in dragging and pushing the ladies into a
house. where they were paciGed. Both
the young ladies were very respectable,
and this sudden ebullilion of their pugilis-
tic propensities has surprised every one.

HORRIBLE BRurALIrY AT BUEEos AyREs.
"A letter from Buenos Ayres, in the
New York Times, relates some instances
of horrid cruelty perpetrated by General
Urquiza, previous to his fight. One in
stance was that of Donna Martina Pando,
wife of D. Marine Roman, who wrote a
letter to an officer named Capaco. adyi-
sing him 10 leave the ranks of Urquiza
and join those of the legal Government
Capaco, who had been fed and clothed by
the lady. when he was in great poverty,
pretended to favor her wishes, but at the
first opportunity betrayed her to Urquiza,
who ordered her instant arrest, and SEN
fenced her to receive 800 lashes. and pro-
ceeded in person, accompanied by Lagos,
his colleague, to see the sentence execu-
ted. The victim was led out, stripped
entirely of her clothing, and placed in
the midst of the squadron of soldiers as
signed to inAict the punishment. The
cries and agony of the wretched woman,
at an exposure so much more horrid to her
than death itself, had no effect upon her
heartless executioners. Before the stripes
were one fourth inflicted she had tainted
from pain and loss of blood, and shortly
after he was apprized that the sufferings
of the poor wretch were terminated. She
was dead With an excess of inhumanity
which is almost Incredible, the monster
ordered the remaining number of the
stripes to be inflicted upon the corpse, and
finally left the spot, forbidding the reno.
val of the remains.
That man certainly must think there is
no hell.

DEAR SIR Great preparations have
been made for the Annual Exhibition ana
Fair OF the Maryland Agricultural Socle-
ty. The number of deposits OF articles
made for exhibition during the day on
Monday. was $50, and the reception Ia
bles were thronged during yesterday.
"Wednesday. swelling the number al
ready received to over 1900. being 400
more than was received on the first day
last year. The mechanical department
is progressing finely. and the painting
gallery IS filing up rapidly with fine
specimens of the arts. The display of
pianos and musical instruments will be
most attractive.
The annual exhibition of the Maryland
Horticultural Society opened yesterday,
at Carroll Hall. corner of Baltimore and
Calvert sts. The display of plants and
flowers, fruits and vegetables. is superior
to any the society has ever yet presented
to the public. As you enter the room,
the visitor passes under a triumphal arch;
it is of flowers all over. and in flowers
has the inscription. welcome to the To-
vers of Flora" 1t is ve:.y beautiful.
Business is Remarkably brisk, and the
city PreseS@ts an active appearance. The
Hc.teis are filed with strangers from the
country; many of the country merchants
have chosen the time of the Exhibition to
purchase their goods. Our attentive and
merry host of the .'Giobe," will as usual
make all comfortable who may make his
house their stopping place while they
are in the city. will give you full re.
port of the exhibition which comes of
on the Sd of October.

my arm was rather roughly seized by ar
elderly gentleman from the country, en-
quiring with great excitement :. Do yor

not that pleasure. He then proceeded
to tell me that the boy had picked up a
pocket-book. containing several hundred
dollars, which he desired to hand over te
him, to be returned to the owner for ;

about to take. when. upon the approach
of a public officer, the young rascal raj
off. He was about TO play the "drol
game" upon the old gentleman. Stran

shall have steamers crossing from Nova

rate that vessel would make the voyage
from Halifax to Galway 1880 miles, in

steamers will be built within FIVE years,
If not within one year, that will accom-
