DESPERATE AssAuLT.-We learn that
early on Thursday morning Charles
Adams, of Fairfax county. Va, went to the
premises of Mr.. Samuel Shreve, and at
tempted to take away a horse. Mr.. Shreve
undertook to prevent him, when Ada.,.s
drew large bowie knife and made seve-
raj cuts at Shreve, wounding him badly
in the hand. Mrs Shreyes. perceiving her
husband in great danger, caught Adams
By the back, and in all probability saved
her husbands life. She, in turn, was
struck with stone by IL person who ac-
companied Adams. but who unfortunately
escaped. Adams wa' arrested and in de-
fault of $500 bail, was committed by Cap
tain Godtrad for his appearance at court,

New FEATURE IN THE PosT OFFICE SYs-
TEM.-It is know that Congress has Provi.
ded by a late law. a system of letter car
rying outside the mails. The Postmaster
General is empowered to provide and fur
nish to Postmasters and other persons
applying therefor, suitable envelopes,
with postage stamps thereon, for the pre-
payment of postage, and that letters en-
closed in said envelopes may be carried by
express companies. or any other private
means ofconveyance, as parties may agree.
Such envelopes are now being prepared
by the department and will soon be for
sale at all the principle post offices in the
United States. The time fixed is the first
of June, but we shall not expect them be-
fore the next P. o. quarter, which will be
the first of July. Notice in the papers
will be given of their arrival. This will
be a great convenience to business men,
who can hand their packages direct to
steamboats,, baggage men, express agents.
or whoever they may choose to trust,
without losing the time which mailing,
registering. &c. requires in post Office,
preparatory to being sent away.

RA1lwAr RrsponsIpIL1rY.-A decision


RAILWAY RESPoNsIBILrrY.-Ad decision
of some Importance, and quite apropos to
the recent tragedy. has just been made in
the United States Circuit Court of Illinois.
cit appeared that plaintiff, coming to
that State to reside. among various other
things. placed in large dry goods box
some seventeen hundred dollars in gold.
which. in his route to this State. he placed
in the care of the defendants at Detroit,
in April oflast year. to be transported to
Vandalia, and that the box and money
acre lost on the Michigan Csntrai Railroad
This suit was for the recovery OF the same
or compensation for its loss" The case
was argued by able counsel. and after IN
structions from Judge Drummond. tneJ
nv after short absence returned
for the plaintiff of $19a4, the fgii Vaiue OF
tha Goods and coin that were iost oy the
railway company.
Let us ask if a plaintiff may recover his
coin and goods, risked on railroad IN a
bag, why an orphaned family should also
recover the protection and support it ven
lures in the person of parent who trav-
els on one Of these highways? We should
like to see the question fairly tried against
one of these corporations not under the
influence of outrage public feeling or mo-
mentary excitement, but at time when
a lust sentiment would establish the
value of human life to be at feast equal to
that of erchandize.-Baltinore A0aeri-
