dreadful enough, but this effort upon the part

Is, II possible, still more terrible. We doubt
wnether the criminal records of any country in

performer in Maretzek's company that was

with continental fame and that will make
her every where better appreciated by the ex.

LEAP FROM THE CARSON Monday last.

man, while on the cars, between Trevillian's
and Gordonsville, leaped from the cars, when
in motion, distance Of l9 feet, and after de.
lioerately stopping to take of his shoes, made
. straight line for the woods; the train was
stopped, the engineer and.others giving chase,
and in few moments he was captured and
brought back. 1t is remarkable that the fell
low did not break his neck, as the cars were
going at the rate of Is miles an hour when he
jumped from them.
