A Feat IN ChemiStry.-During

fessor b. SillIman. Jr., in New York.
he soliied carbonic gas. This was
effected by bringing sulphuric acid in
contact with carbonate Of soda, in
strong iron vessel, capable of rcsis-
ting an expansive pressure or thirty
four otHiorpheJeS, Of $40 pounds 10
an inch Prof. S. stated that this
experiment has been given up en-
iirely in France, as in consequence OF
the bursting, several persons had
been killed. But he stated that the
iron vessel used on this occasion, had
never been known TO burst, and the
experiment was considered not al all
dangerous. As the liquid Ct being
in liquid State in the vessel) was
drawn off, larger portion instantly
evaporatcd, and by the evaporation
reduced the remainder TO the ireez-
ing point. In this way, several
pounds of solid carbonc acid were
obtained. 1t had the appearance Of
the whitest snow, and was so cold
that by holding it only three seconds
the hand would be frozen. lie pla.

Winter LetsiWe.--1he following
thoughts 10y the late Professor Nor.
ton, are seasonable and worth heed
ing:
IL is a common complaint among
practical men, that they cannot un-
derstand scientific books, or wh /
scientific men say. This is certain
ly their own fault, for there are few
farmers who could not, by a little
industry and perseverance,, get e.
nough instruction To lie of very great
advantage to them in these respects.
1t is the improvement of leisure
hours, by reading and reflection, that
produces the clear-headcd, sound
thinking men, few of whom are to
be found taking The lead in nearly
all our country villages. Their ann,
however; has hitherto been chiefly
10 increase their stock Of historical
and political knowledge, or of gen
eral information. They ought now,
IN addition 10 these, TO devote atlen- 1
ton seriousl TO science in councc-
ton with agriculture. Such works
as those OF Prof Johnston, of Lei
beg, OF Bousingault and others, are
not only instructive, but highly inter
osiing. A better mode of obtaining
this kind Of knowledge, is to attend
courses Of lectures referring 10 the
various subjects of which tue above
works treat. But this cannot be
done by all; and those who read
at,en,ively will gather much informa-
ton from the books themselves.
although they may not be able 10
understand everything.

Smithfeld, and bringing brave and good
men to the block for consistency ID an
illegal faith, or coming as near to those
modes of suppression as public sentiment
and the temper Of the times will permit.
Now If this new order of know-nothing
ism proposes any serious results, any
thing beyond questionable expedi'nt
to carry the very next election, there are
few considerations which it woulo be
well enough for US to entertain. In the
first place, this is not very religious
age, and any general affectation of god
illness and devodtness will not be very
likely to impose upon perfectly self
possessed and practical people. Should
a man appear among us doing palpable
miracles, even, there would be crowds OF
rreverent persons who would canvass his
pretensions with so sharp a criticism that
none but the most truthful and coherent
dogmas would escape overthrow. In
this temper we shall be little likely to re-
spect that as noting but zeal for pure
faith which prociainss uncharitabe war
fare upon Romanism
In the next place to be successful. the
movement must pass into new hands
at least under other leadership Ifmen
would gain Influence in religious organ
izaton, they must be themselves relig
ious themselves. Men are not entitled
to be critics on matters of faith who have
no faith, with whose low Ives faith is
not compatible nor can he pronounce
authoritaiivcly that my c:eed is an un-
safe and dangerous one, who is untrue
and disobedicnt to his own, and only IL
lustrates it By spurnlng and despising its
teachings Then, too, we would like lc
be sure that persecution is likely to be a
more effective weapon than it has prov
ed all through the past ages, and that
our conlrivances will not return to
plague the inventors ; that the blood OF
martyrs will not be seed of the church
that social or political prescription of
Roman Catholics will not increase their
numbers and influence. We have h d
a fresh trial Of these remedial measures
lately upon the Mormons, and with what
results ?

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

SPRING RAcEs.-The present fine
weather has had the effect of bringing
out the boys earlier in the season than
usual. On Yesterday the track was
opened, free for everything that chose
to enter. Pete Freer entered r. e. Hi
nois, which was matched by Joe Lewis
s. S. News Boy, % side, catch weights.
Started finely at the word go, News Boy
taking the lead with ease, and passed the
Judges stand long before Illinois had
reached the distance pole. On exami-
nation it was ascertained that Illinois
had sprained an ancle the day previous,
and he was hauled off for repairs.
Jack Kimball then entered S. 8 Butch
er Boy, who took took the place of Hi
nois and made most beautiful race
but News Boys well earned reputation
was not to be easily surrendered, and a
vigorous effort on the last quarter car
ried him past the stand a winner by two
lengths, in two twenty.
A hurdle race, free for everything on
the course, best two in three, was next
in order. But four entrys were made,
and one banking at the word go, but
three came through, News Boy far in
advance, sleepy Jim next, making some
powerful strides, which finally carried
him past the distance pole in time to try
the second heat, which was won by n B.
The latter was then matched by S. h.
Frederick, who lost the race by jump
ing stif-legged. At this stage Of the
proceedings our jolly old sport j. W.
Gilkyson, entered Pennsylvania Horse
Lea herhead, against News Boy, which
made the prettiest race of the season,
and was won by Leatherhead in two ten
Col Harris, matched his b. b. S. Old
Kentuck, against Leatherhead. The
two started beautiful, and promised an
exciting race, but Kentuck's stihe few
out on the first quarter, and he hobbled
off the track on three 's-Leatherhe
walking home, monarch of all he sur
veyed, showing excellent blood and
training.
The track was in superb order, The
day fine, and although we noticed several
whisky barrels on the ground, not a
drunken man was TO be seen, and moth
ing occurred to mar the general good
feeling which prevailed

contention by counsel, and the sugges-
ton of different plans, it was ordered by
the Court that the clerk call the names
of the defendants, and that they take
their seats in the order in which they
were called, to which the counsel for
defendants excepted.
There was bat one other witness called
who corroborated the main facts sworn
ito by the first witness up to the time of
the shooting. and identified some of the
defendants.
The case was argued to the jury by
the respective counsel, and after very
clear charge by the court the jury retired
and after deliberation, and after deliber-
alton returned into court and rendered a
verdict of not guilty.
The verdict apparently took all by
su. prise - the counsel for d'fendants
with the rest. The remark was freely
made that if officers in the execution Of
the law could not be protected by the
law, then the ix-shooter law must be re-
sorted to, or all laws remain unenforced
The jury doubtless had reasons for theil
verdict, and as they were sworn to rem
der verdict according to law and evi
denee, we forbcar further comment. r

The present as in olden time


The present as in olden time
Is fIaught with many prosy rhyme;
let some unfold in burning glows.
What never could be told in prose.
1t is an art, woudrous art,
That natures made the Poets part
OF Immortality divine.
1t moulds his every written line
The world produces every day
Something like the following lay;
LIDO not write for lauded fame
That would only show how very lame,
My boasted muse must hobble on,
Inspecting every stumbling stone;
So list but to my untaught song,
Though harsh as ere was rafting gong,
Like that droll sound, does indicate
That p5ands rich sit here IN state
My subject then set forth Oh pen
To ''Ippos" and to other men,
Who like him are blind, and doubt,
If there's a real Judge hereabout,
Who the favored one can be,
That basks beneath the publics treet
Go, Mr.. I. and (carcful) peruse
The Gubernatorial views
You'll find the savans in their pow'r
Dccreed the Judgeship-not an hour
But, '..for the term prescribed by Law,"
Which Ippos deems I'm Graade faur pas;
Because each office of this school,
Vaoates given uiti -thHie
At the next general election
Which admits no contradiction.
Yet does not the "Constitution"
In plain terms without confusion,
Establish clearly in its sphere,
A Judgeship cannot end quite here,
Unless the sacred instrument
Of its present power S rent
Now, Mr. Tcannot pretend
The instrument does not extend
Supremely Ger the magic land
OF California's goldend sund,
Unless he bases what he says,
Upon his Judges own displays,
And boasts-of ancient Bacchus line
To be Judge, is to drink WINE.
KNow-NoTHING.
