The English Government is puzzled to know
what to do with the FIVE thousand prisoners
annually sentenced to transportation. 1t is
not considered desirable to send them to Aus
tralia, or to keep them at home, or to found a
new penal settlement. But probably the last
will be the course adopted.

New NENEERISG PREsS-Mr. Caleb g.
Bu1nap, of this city. has invented Neneering
Press, which proves by actual trial to be a
valuable one. The power is obtained by q
hydraulic pressure. We saw it in operation
this forenoon. Three pieces of veneering of
the ordinary width, aud five or six feet in
length, were placed upon each side of the
glued board. Thus prepared, the veneering
was placed in the press, between India rubber
Innings, and hot water was pumred into the
vacuum between the Innings and the sides of
the press. The power obtained is equal to
twenty tons. In this manner the press stands
for two or three hours. when the veneering is
found to be most effectually attached to the
board by this process much labor is saved
and the work is a great deal better done than
by the ordinary plan. One of these machines
may be seen at the factory in Pearl street con-
tinued, just west of the city printing office
Mr.. Burnap has also invented scale upon the
principle of atmospheric pressure, which is
said to be exceedingly ccurate.-Hartford

The Cleveland PLat0deafsr. of FRIDAY even
ing, had the following account of an extraor-
dinary elOpeMent:
On Monday morning last Mrs John Board
man left the house Of her husband in Akron
She took the cars and started for Cleveland
Before leaving she took $I0U note the
property Of her husband went to Store; and
purchased :65 worth Of jeweiry; leaving the
note It's security. She had also received $40
from her husband that morning. She rur-
chased a quantity OF dry goods DC, for
clothing. and carried from her home IL nuIu-
Der of articles of clothing.
She left two children. Before starting she
took them to neishbors house, proposing
to leave them in charge of lady acquain-
tance. This lady not wishing to be troubled
with them demurred. The youngest was crying
and the inhuman mother replied, - the little
devil won't squall much for | have given him
good dose Of laulanum.H And the laudau-
um had its effects so severely that medical aid
was afterwards required to prevent the child $
death.
Mrs. Broadman arrived in this city on Mon
day, and stopped at the johnson House She
had previously made an agreement with her
paramour to meet him on Sunday IN this city
but not keeping the engagement. he (who he
is or what is his name, is unknown.) had gone
to Toledo. leaving letter directing her to
come on Immediately. She received this let
ter and that evening went to Toledo. Her
husband followed in pursuit on Tuesday We
learn that lie is so thoroughly disgus;ed with
the treachery of his wife that he desire. moth
ing further than TO regain what property she
took from him.
This woman Miss Hobbs, previous to mar
riagel is but nineteen years of age and
possesses most remarkable attractions. Her
husband is II respectable citizen Of Akron.
If this is the John Boardman We used to
know, he got served just right. When he was
young man. he engaged himself to three
young ladies at the same time, and the same
day was set for the welding of all. OF course,
he married but one. This We believe, is his
second wife: and has proved as good one as
he ucserycd-N. I. Dav Book

From the Charleston Erening Neus.
The late Prize Fight.

We have rarely been more disgustcd by the
mere colocation of words necessary to writ
ten narrative, than in reading the description
Of the late fight between the pugilists, Sullivan
and Morissey. Bets to the amount of one
thousand dollars per side, were pending on
the result of the fight, which came off at Bos-
ton Four Corners, lO3 miles on the Harlem
Railroad from New York. Nearly FIVE thous-
and spectators were on the spot, cheering the
brutes, who had submitted to their being pitted
against each other to make the savage holiday.
In ancient times, when personal strength was
a very valuable quality, and communities took
pride in victories gained in the ring, excellence
in the-use Of the fist was an object worthy of
attainment to those who having more bone
and muscle than brains, felt willing to be bea-
ten to death for the laurel wreath, which was
then deemed the most valuable property one
could seek, and which secured the victor not
only praise whilst alive, but also the respect
Of the shades below. But'we cannot conceive
a more degraded taste, Il more intimate ap.
proach to brutality than that made by the
prize fighter and his abettors. 1t is bad state
of society which permits such scenes as those
described, and we cannot avoid thinking that
none of the alleged horrors of slavery can be
more to be pepetrated than the revolving deeds
that were done by these modern gladiators on
each others persons.
Under ordinary circumstances we would not
notice such dongs; but at the time when the
streets Of the North are covered with pacards
alluding to "Uncle Toms Cabin" in some of
the various forms in which this anamalous
work, which is near enough to the truth to be
called lie, and too near a lie to be admitted
true, appears we will select some of the ex-
pressions used. to show that brutality and cru
city may exist in its most horrible shapes else
where than amo.g the Legares and shelbys Of
the South.
Sullivan, generally known as Yankee Sulii-
van is man about l years of age, and weigh
ins about l54 pounds; height feet 1-2
inches. Morisscy is about % years of age, is
six feet high, and weighs about l75 pounds,
his frame being herculanean. Sullivan had
skill Morissey had endurance. The first
displayed his quality by hitting the other al.
most at pleasure, and then dropping to avoid
punishment at the very moment when he stood
in danger of being ovcrpowercd by the sureri.

They Say.

| Dr. Beecher says 'never chase lie. Let it alone,
and it will Iun itself to death ,cork out good
character much faster than any one else can lie me
out of it,"
There is, unfortunately more truth than poetry in
this paragraph The race is an endless one, that OF
chasing e like circle, when once formed, it has
neither beginning or ending Go to whom you may,
in search of the author OF e the reply is we heardit
from some one else, and so on, until you 90 around
the whole circle, and the last man, when all other
subtcrfuges fail, pleads the little boys excuse at
school, when 'corncrcd,' ut whisted ITSELF
"They say" embraces an indefinite number of ire
sponsible no.bodies-and when we hear man use
the authority Of "hey say" for any serious assertion
we are anxious to know who "they" are-but the
inquiry is useless and VIC have all of our labor for our
pay, and we havo the very satisfactory explanation,
that somebody or somebody else, heard somebody say
thus and so. 1t is much cheaper in the long run (for
tho race is endless onc) not to "chasc lie" for
it be one it will o: necessity run itself to DEATH and
at last may have the proud satisfaction of seeing
its end without the rcXatious evils and petty annoy
ances of hunting it up to kill it.

AN OLD GRuDGE-A writer in the Charles.

cerning Britain Interference in Cuban matters
says:
1.-The operations of England with regard to
Cuba daily strengthen us in an opinion adop.
ted more than twenty years since when we
happened to be placed in position to see and
hear for ourselves. That opinion is that there
has never been peace between America and
Eng land since the planters Of the South, be-
hind the Palmetto logs Of Fort Mourrc, struck
the first fatal blow to her supremacy on the
seas, by proving that her sailors were not in
vincible.'
