EXPANDING THE CHEsT.-Those in easy cir.

employment within doors, use their lungs but
l:itle, breathe bat little air in the chest, and
thus, independently Of positions, contract a
wretchedly small Chest and lay the found alton
Tor the loss of health and beauty. All this can
be ob,iaied by little attention to the man
ner Of breathing. Recoliect the lungs are
like a bladder ip their structure and ca n stretch
open TO double their size with perfect safety,
giving noble chest, and perfect immuni;y
from consumption.
The agent, and only agent required, is the
common air we breathe, supposng, however,
that no obstacle exists, external to he chest
such as t"inng 1t about with stays, Or having
the shoulders lie upon ii. On rising from the
bed In the morning, place yourself in an erect
posture. with your head thrown back and your
shoulders entirely off from the chest, then in

your arms off behind; hold your breath as Ion .

The Post office Desaulter.

At New York the following plan was
adopted to secure the CONVICTION and arrest
of young Rossi, Post Office clerk in the
New York Post Office Several letters con-
tanning enclosures, were mailed, and as Ros-
81 had the sorting Of the German letters, an
officer named Holbrook was introduced.
and concealed in position so as to watch
Rossi, who took one of the decoy letters.
and retired to another place and returned to
reseal the letter and put it among the 9TH
ers. Shortly after this, Rossi went to break
fast. Holbrook then examined the dccoy
letters, and found two Of them broken. and
reseaied.. Rossi. on his return to the office.
was informed that the Postmaster wished to
see him; but instead Of going up stairs, he
suddenly run out and had he not been hast
lily pursued. he would have escaped. Af.
ter his arrest. he gave up the key of his
desk and requested Mr.. Hallett to take
charge Of what ID contained. On examin-
ing the desk. there wasfound si0O1 in bank
bills, $50 gold piece and two lockets.-
At his lodgings $500 in gold,. besides dia-
monds valued at S400 which were claimed
by the prisoners wife, was,found.

Et'S all Out.

The correspondents Of the New York

confirm in substance the statement made BY

rie had employed Simeon Draper, of New
York, to purchase Government stocks before
maturity-an act, for which, few weeks
ago, two-thirls Of AL the Democratic papers
in the United States were for hanging up
Secretary Corwin by the neck, and the 9TH

original statement-it is now asserted posi-
lively, that Mr.. Guthrie has approved of and

is asserted, that within a month past the
present Secretary Of the Treasury has pur-
chased up more than million and half Of
Federal Securities, BY method precisely
the same as that for which some Of the vir.
tuous and indignant Democratic editors
of the land were short time ago going to

Those men in especial. who have pursued

Horrible Deed.

We have never been ,allcd upon to re-
cord a more melancholy case of murder
than the following: On Friday night last
it appears that Mr.. Je4up McHenry, Of
this county. accompanied BY young Thomas
Douglass, his brother-in-l;w, and two small
negro boys, repaired to lick, but few hun
dred yards from his house, for the purpose
Of shooting deer.
Whilst there, sitting upon some logs
around fire they had kiadled in the open
field, they were suddenly fred upon from a
neighboring stuinp. The stump from which
the fend levelIed his deadly aim, was about
thirty yards from the fire. and the ground
bore the visible prints Of the Williams hands
and knees for forty yards or more where he
had crawled to reach the stump.
The shot took effect in the head and neck
of McHenry. and in the thigh and side of
Thomas Douglass McIIenry's wounds not
being considered dangerous. his speedy re-
covery is expected. Holding his gun up
right before him, it is thought, is what saw
ed his life, As the gun bears the marks of
several shot
Thos Douglass, who was shot through
and through, survived but few hours.
The author Of the foul deed has not yet
been discovered, though we learn that ne
gro man belonging to Mr. Samuel McMor-
rim, upon grounds of strobs snspieion, has
been arrested and confined. As every ef-
fort will be used to ferret out the whole mat
ter we trust that the guilt will be fastened
upon the right one. and that justice to the
full limit of the law will me meted to him.
Thomas Douglass, who has thus met an
untimely end, was a young man Of scarce
ly twenty summers, full of life and prom
ise. He was beloved by all who knew him,
and had large concourse Of friends and
relations to gather around his grave.

Great Railway Enterprises.

'IoN," of the Baltimore Sun" makes
the following references to those great Rail
way enterprises. the Central Illinois Rail-
road, and the Southwestern branch Of the
Missouri and Pacific Railroad:
The great Central Illinois Railroad
Company appear to be in full tide Of practi-
cal success. The grant of public lands trans
ferrcd to them will build the road for the
whole distance of 40 miles, and the stock
holders will own the road without paying a
cent for their stock 1t is donation to
them from the Government of SIT 100000
the estimated cost of the road for their
personal benefit The land is already est-
mated to be worth that sum, and the loans
for carrying out the work are based upon
the value of those lands at that rate. Loans
to the amount of some seven or eight mil
lions have already been effected, and a new
loan of three millions has now been called
for, and will be readily filed
The stockholders of the Southwestern
branch of the Missouri and Pacific Railroad
Company will never be obliged to pay a
dollar for that road, of 80 miles in length.
The land granted to the State by the Gov
erment, during the late session. we're trans
ferred by the State to the company, and
they will sell for enough to build the
road A loan will soon be proposed for the
purpose of completing this road, and it will
be based, in great measure, on the value
of the bonds All these Western railroads
will undoubtedly give dividends of ten per
cent. on their cost, and. besides, are made
at the expense Of the public treasure"
