UTwo colored men, brothers, recently made
application to one of the courts of Richmond,
Va, asserting that they had become so far
removed from their original blood as to cntitle
them to the benefit of an act of Assembly,
which declares that persons with less than one
fourth negro blood shall be considered white
persons; and under this plea they claimed the
privilege of going abroad without registers
The court, after hearing arguments on both
sides, refused the application.

three months old, son of Michael McDonough,
by taking him by the heels and dashing his
head against the curb stone. He was caught
in the act, and taken to prison. The excite
ment was very great in the.neghborhood, and
it was with difficulty that summary punish

gives as an excuse that he was so drunk he did
not know what he was doing. The child is

the tide of obloquy beating against his breast;

death-and worse than all, having no present
friend to whisper a word of defence or paliia-
ton in his behalf to his revers-but bravey
giving his naked head to the storm, because ho
knows himself to be virtuous in his purposes;

UAn experiment was lately tried in England,
to ascertain how quickly railway train, under
full headway, might be stopped. The train
was allowed to attain speed of fifty miles an
hour, when three breaks were applied, the steam
shut off, and the engine disarranged. 1t came
to dead stand after running about five hundred
yards. The experiment was tried to ascertain
if signal of danger could be seen in season to
stop a train.
