CRIMINAL CouRr, P. B. KEY, ESQ. PRosrcUrSe
ArroRSEY,--The court stands adjourned over to-
day. the jury being still engaged with the consider
alton Of the case of McNany. This Is one Of the
arson cases which the police have been ferreting
out for punishment.
There were thirty-6vo indictments for arson
found during this term of the court by the grand
jury, and we really hope that miscellaneous boys,
who set fire merely for the purpose Of showing
their dauntless herosn in putting Il out, should be
put in place where their superintendent ambition
may be turned into more useful channel.

Illinois.

Some Of the Chicago papers are very
properly arguing that the next legislature
Of Illinois should make immediate arrange
ments for ying the interest on the State
debt Trey say that Illinois is abundant
ly able to pay all her Indebtedness, and
thar she ought to do il, that no State in the
Union Is increasing more rapidly in popu-
lstion aud wealth., the citizens OF no State
more free IRON debt OF more general in-
depende Mt and prosperous, ard that the
popular sentiment OF the State il right on
the subject.
II these facts are all true, as we presume
they are, there is certainly no reason tor
any longer delay in the premises, The de-
lay hrs already been too great, and we
shou Id think it would be rather CALLING 10
the pride and vanity OF the Chieaeoites es
pecially, TO reflect that Illinois is still one
Of the contemplating States. II surely
becomes "a people proud of their honor,
and OF their position before the world, to
avail themselves of their abilities to pa;
their honest debts.

DREAMING OWN OF a BRJDGE IN INDIA
Losso OF LIFE One OF the most melancholy

agnatta bridge (for the safety OF viii h fears

upwards OF a hundred people. The cause
assigned for this accident is the passing

sengers. There were some four or Gve
native traf,s in the canal, full of people, who
were buried under the ruins; three palkees
with their freight of ladies and gentlemen
and two bakeries, full Of Hindeo .emales,
who were passing over the bridge, shared

INVENTIVE AcTrvlTY.-The Washington

the following illustration OF the inventive
actirity of this country -
can advertisement having been published
in the Scientific American, holding forth
reward OF ten thousand dollars for the best
contrivance by which two sdes Of stone
pyramid could be sawed at the same time,
the inventive energies OF the count were
set to work, and in less than month more
than hundred saving machines we're sub
mtted 10 the Commissioner of Patents. H.
is curi'ns to witness the alacri;y with which
the mechanical genius, SO characteristic OF
the Yankees, responds to the slightest call
upon its exercise. Not an accident by sea
or land, ctD happen, not deficiency can be
suggested IN any arr, but brings a score, at
least, OF candidates for the honors Of the
Patent Office"
