NOVEL SCENE. The ex postmaster of Boston
is in Germany. He sends home an account Of
a dinner to a railway congress, at which To-
connective appeared on the table, to which was
attached train loaded with the dishes of the
choicest and most solid food. The succulent
train advanced slowly, in imitation of the pas
senger trains upon all German roads. After
having made the tour of the table without
stopping, in order to give view of the good
things with which il was freighted, the train
again started. making station in front Of each
guest, and permitting him to fill his plate &C.
cording to his appetite and fancy. The trains
followed each other in constant succession for
two or three hours, departing each time well
loaded with eomestibles, and always returning
empty to the depot. This is just the thing for
an American eating table, where the fashion is,
according to English authority, to gulp every
thing with railroad speed.

THE CANNoNs OF FORT NEcEssITY.-Wben
Washington capitulated to the French at Fort
Necessity, he abandoned, on the 4th of July,
1864, seven swivels or small cannons to the
enemy. Whether the French made any effort
to destroy them or not, it is certain that they
were not irreparably injured. Probably they
were only spiked. and left on the ground In
later years, toward the close of the last century
the Great Meadows were favorite hating

the West, who were accustomed to FIRE salutes
from this ancient artillery, which had been

they were all carried off, either together, or one

some reader Of the journal may be able to point
out their date. The existence of any cannon,
brought into this region about that period,

The Mexican UpipersaI is out again strongly

MELANCHOLY CAsuALrY.-A young man by
the name of John Macarthur, night before
last, accidentally killed Miss Jane Desmond,
to whom he was paying his addresses. He was
sitting in company with her, in room at the
residence of her parents, on Mound street near
Seventh, and, observing a gun standing in the
room, picked it up, capped it, and remarked
that he was going to put out the light by ex-
ploding the cap. He pointed the gun at the
candle and fired, the lady being in direct line
with the muzzle of the gun, which, unfor-
tunately, was loaded; the charge entered her
side, killing her almost instantly. Macarthur
gave himself in custody yesterday morning, and
seeks an investigation [Cin. Com, 29th.

two young men by the name of Derrick were
riding in an old field about three miles and a
half from this place, when one was struck by
lightning and instantly killed, He was near

trees was made on his breast. The other was
not near enough to be injured. A calfwas also

MURDER MIR. Jesse R. Miller was shot a few
days ago, just before daylight, while asleep on
cot in the portico Of his residence, in Madison
county, Miss. The Canton Citizen, in giving an
account of this horrid deed says that, " some
demon or semi-deyil in human shape, stole
stealthily upon the unconscious sleeper, and
discharged the contents Of gun into his side,
just above the hip, making horrible wound,
from which the unfortunate man died in three
or four hours. 1t was soon afterwards discov-
cred that Mr.. Miller's gun was missing from its
accustomed place at the head of his wife's bed,
and could not be found after the most diligent
search the conclusion was therefore irresistible
that he was shot with his own gun, and by some
one who had free access to the house" Before
he expired. Mr.. Miller expressed his belief that
he was shot by his brother-in-law, named Grif-
I'm, who was subsequently, apprehended in
Sharon. The result of his examination before
magistrates court has not yet been made public

INDIANS SrARvING.-Tbe condition OF the
Ottoe and Missouri Indians is indeed deplorable
at the present time. Government having ne
elected to comply with treaty stipulations.
those tribes are suffering from the cravings of
hunger, and have commenced ravagng the
gardens and plundering the whites sojourning
in Nebraska, of every thing they can put their
hands upon. The store Of Mr.. Cowles, at Me-
braska City, was broken open few nights
since, and quantity of bacon purloined. The
garden Of Major Downs has been almost de-
stroyed, while o field of corn adjacent to the
Old Fort has been stripped of nearly all the
young ears, as well as considerable portions of
the stalks taken, which have been eaten as the
cattle Of the field eat them. Two or three
nights ago two COWS belonging to German
were stolen and killed by the Indians, which
theft they do not deny, but state that hunger
forced them to commit it. A few days ago,
COW belonging to Mr.. Hargeous died of disease,
and scarce had the breath of life left its body
ere it was seized upon by the Indians and
nearly all eaten in its raw state. One of the
Indians detected in stealing on Wednesday
night was lassoed and whipped severely, which
has crested considerable excitement in his tribe
The whites over there have all complied with
the demand made by the Indians, and have
each paid over $10 which was to secure them
from molestation. The Indians, when upbraided
for their breach of faith, state that their Great
Father has broken his pledge to them, and they
| are compelled by hunger to break their faith
with the emigrants The conduct of the au-
thorites Of the United States in this matter has
been most reprehensible, and we cannot see
what excuse can be framed by them for their
| tergiversations to the Indians.

STARVATION IN South BosroN.---On Wednes-
day the 23d ult. a police officer was called into
q house on Silver street, South Boston, Mass,
where he found five starving and destitute
children, who had been deserted by their in
human father. Barney Harvey The mother Of
the children died last week, and the miserable
wretch thereupon left them to starve. Four of
the children we're sent to the overseers of the
Poor, but the youngest, a helpless infant, had
become SO emaciated, when found by the officer,
that it could not be removed, and death ter
minated its suferings during the night.

THE STORM OF SUNDAY LAsr.--From various
points of the country we are receiving accounts
of the violence and destructive effects of storm
of wind, rain, and hail, on Sunday last. From
Louisville, in Kentucky, to Norfolk, in this
State, we have accounts of its disastrous charac-
ter. 1t passed South of this city. AT Hat
Greek, in Campbell, we learn from the Peters
burgh Express, it was very severe-the light
ming killing two negroes, overturning carriages
in which ladies and gentlemen were seated, on
their way from church, uprooting the largest
trees, and making sad havoc with the tobacco
and other growing crops. The tobacco crop, in
some places, is almost a total loss. [Richmond

aThe steamer to-day takes from us Col.
Wheat, agent Of the Junta for the invasion Of
Cuba, who has been with us since the LIST Of
April last. He has succeeded in enrolling quite
d large number of men, composed principally
of men from the Southern and Western States,
including uniformed company of Flying Ar
tillery, and q uniformed company Of Ridemen.
Both these companies have been under constant
drill for the past eight or ten weeks, and form
a splendid nucleus for an invading army. Many
of the native Californians have lent material
aid to the cause, and the fact of q marauding
expedition being concentrated at New Orleans
has been in no manner kept secret Major

been very jealous Of her husband for long time,
and a few days ago left hun A short time ago the
matter was compromised and they resumed their
marriage relations. Lately, however, she states
that he had again neglected her, and she was
confirmed in this opinion by overhearng CONVEX

whom they boarded. lie handed the landlady
picture Of LADY, whose beauty he was greatly
praising for safe keeping, with instructions not to

lowing dav she armed herself with dirk, and went
in search OF Conger. She found him in coffee
house and rushed on him with the dirk, inhictng
several wounds on his person. Several persons who

arrested and when in prison expressed deep regret
with the occurrence, and seemed much concerned
in regard for his condition.
