since. There was a trial of one Solomon
Thomas, for selling liquor contrary to law, 60

about lOO persons were precipitaled into the
cellar, falling about 90 feet-canying down,
Ia their descent. the second floor of the build

increased by the masses of furniture and
crate oil red hot Goals that fell along with the

THE PRorosID CATTLE SHow-We take
occasion to say word more to our city read.
ers in behalf of the effort about to be made bv
the State Agricultural Society to upa
Cattle Show in this ci,yrex, Fall. The Cattle
Show Of Baltimore attracts to that city some
forty or fifty thousand strangers annually, who
spend there-accordiEg to the estimates of per-
sons who have the best opportunities of iudg.
ing 900 dollars. Feeling assured that
this city will be greatly benefited by such an
exhibition here, we hope our itizens will con-
tribute literally towards il.
BALTIMORE AND Ohio RAILRoAD.-The
revenue of this road for the month of January
has been $l20 ,:4S SO, of which $101, ,8l9 ~
were from the main stem, and $27 ,529 10 from
the Washington branch. "This," saws the
Baltimore Patriot, ''shows an increase of re-
venue, as compared with January of 1852, of
| $F 100 "a on the main stem, and S3,52S 81
on the Washington branch--making a total in.
crease of revenue of $5O,719 l5."
| A MILK CONVENTIONAL convention Of
delegates from the chief milk producing com
ties of New York, was held at Whitl7ckville,
Wsstchester county, New York, on the Sd
| inst. Measures were taken to protect the on
sumer and producer from the evils ofadultera-
tion, dilution etc. The milk business, although
| y great one, is rather a milk and water busi-
ness at present in New York.
RISING IN THE WoRLD.-Our friend Alex
ander, of the Charlottesville Jeffersoniaa,
shows due appreciation of the nouors which
should belong to personal pulchritude. Hear
what he says.
When we get to be President of the United
States, we intend TO make the editor of the
| Dispatch Secretary of State, and no applicant
for office will stand the least chance of sue.
cess who does not come endorsed by the said
| Secretary, as possessing the requisite quali6-
calion for Office, viz: that of being handsome
man.
Now that we call sensible. The only fear
we have is that four friend should make 5esx-
~ an issue before the eople, he may possibly
come out lacking. However, there is nothing
like trying. and as it is very important to i'm.
prove the personal appearance Of the official
corps, lest foreign nations should think We
really. prefer ugly men, we hope he will offer

leave its neutral position, and 60 for him cer-
tai4ly. Let the issue be made at once.
I Among the important announcements
in the papers is the following:
A splendid suit OF inaugural clothes are be.
ing manufactured tor President Pierce, in Bos-
ton.
Well, for the credit of the nation we hops
Mr.. Pierce will be very well dressed on the
occasion. But II he wants to keep them from
being soied, we advise him to get a pair of
tongs and have them at hand to keep off the
nasty miserable toadies that will be constantly
aocking around TO fawn upon him.

Gevodan. director of the Archaeological Col.

an alliance is one of the most illusirious in
Spain. Our future Empress belongs TO the
house of Guzman, whose origin dates back TO
the earliest times of the Spanish monarchy,
and which several historians say was the issue
of royal blood. All the branches of this fami-
ly have played a distinguished partin history.

Counts of Montiio, of Teba or Tevs, and of
