JEW BUTcHERs.-The Jew butchers do
not PROSTATE the animal with tho axe, but
first suspend and then cut the throat. This
must be performed IN a peculiar manner
It is nooessrry TO have a long knife, which
must be free from rust, nick, or any imper-
lection Of the cutting edge zone cut only be-.
ing. allowed, " more is required, or any
formality aeglected, the animal is deemed
unfit for food for the Hebrews. After tho
animal Is dead he is examined by the Jew
butcher. This is done by cutting into the
pleural and abdominal aRities, running the
hand in and feeling the lungs and liver
Should these organs be found adherent to
the sides, or should any Jumps be found in
them, the butcher places a leathern tag up
on the animal inscribed with the Chaldaic
word tripha signifying improper or unfit
On the contrary should those organs DO
found healthy aud the operation Of killing be
otherwise correctly performed, the tag
stamped coSher, proper, or fit, IL then placed
upon the various portions Of the ANIMAL
For the use of the Hebrews il. isonly placed
upon the fore quarters. From the difficulty
OF removing the blood vessels, as required by
their laws from the hind quarters, this por-
tion is rarely taken by the Hebrews, butthe
mark is placed upon them for the benefit OF
many Christians, who prefer the meat thus
examined. The butcher is paid by the So
ciety. and in addition he receives a small
sum per animal from the keeper Of the.
slaughter-house for his services.

The MICHIGAN RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Referring to the testimony Of the officers in
charge Of the trains at the late collision in
Michigan, the Cleveland Herald say:
"The testimony Of these men is enough
to hang every one. Look at il again for a
moment. Whitney, conductor, says he
knew nothing about the running time Of the
Michigan Central Road. Davis, engineer,
says he was running about as fast as he
could, and that he did not know the rules
printed on his table. Tyler, conductor, says
he had no head lights, being out Of wicks,
aud did not know whose duty it was to zee
that there was a head light, and that he did
not reverse his engine. IL that testimony
viii not convict these men Of manslaughteI
--even murIer-therc is no use for testi'
mony. 1t is the most internal slaughter Of
life by railroad officers, ever recorded. We
hope the law will deal with lheSc men, and
that the companies themselves, may in
acme way be compelled TO answer for their
crlmein failing 70 kcep the proper watchmen
at these crossings in not providing lamp
vicks, having been told they were out; and

INVITATION FROM THE EMPEROR NAroLEoS.

1.-The rumor is current here that a friendly
invitation has been extended by Emperor
Napoleon to his relatives, the B%onapartes in
this city, to visit France. The imperial
courtesy,I am told, has been accepted by
young Jerome, grand nephew Of the elder
Napoleon, who proposes going over to Paris
He is now attached to the United States Ar

Cor the purpose here mentioned. This looks
like a disposition on the part ofthc Emperor
to cultivate friendly relations not only with
his foreign relatives, but with our Govern
ment."

VERDICT AGAINST a PHYsIcAs.--in the
Supreme Court, at Lowell, this morning, .
verdict was rendered against DR.. Joseph
KiureJge, of Andover. with damages Of six.
teen hundred aud seventy-fvo dollarS, for
malpractice. II appeared in evidence that
a lad named Ashworth had his arm badly in
jured by the machinery of the mill where he
was at work. DR.. Kittredge was called,
dressed and bandaged the arm. On the third
day, the boy complained Of considerable pain
but no examination was made until the
fourth day: when II was found that NORTH
cation had commenced. Other physicians
were consulted, and they gave the opinion
that the boy could not live. He however
recovered, the modification being checked
by the free use of brandy and salt, but the
arm came OF. The claim for damages was
based upon the superstition that the baps
dage was so tight rs to causo the NORTH
cation and consequent loss Of the arm.--Bos-

aud Is about as absurd as the claim OF Ohio

BY the State agenle a year or " since, The
Ohio papers claim the wheat crop OF that
State as over thirty millions Of bushels per

bushels, and makes the annual wheat crop
OF Pennsylvania I~5.367,69l hushels-the

mer. Our Philadelphia contemporary thinks
il hardly possible for Ohio TO increase her
