AMPUTATING A LEG.


We don't know when we have been
more shocked than in perusing the follow.
ing. i occurred in ST. Lawrence county
in this State, and is given on the authority
''of gentleman Of undoubted veracity :"
"a young man addicted TO incorporate
habits, during one Of his periodical .sprees,
took a sudden notion to pay a visi. 10 his
sweetheart On the evening alluded 10.
the young lady and female associate were
the only occupants of The house where she
resided. .,. ...
"About ten O'Clock in the evening the
young man arrived al the house, considers.
bly, worse from The use of beverages
His msnner in approaching The door excl
ted The suspicion Of The young ladies, Who
supposed The house was attacked by rob
bers. He knocked al The door, and demsn-
ded admission bu. his voice not being re-
cognized, from The thickness Of his tongue,
the ladies refused 10 comply with his de-.
mand.
"Determined to force an entrance, he
commenced series Of assaults upon the
barred and boiled door by kicking and
pounding. After q number of desperate
kicks, the panel Of the door gave way, and
the leg of the besieger wen. through The a.
per'ure, and was Immediately seized by one
Of the ladies and firmly held, while the 9TH
er, armed with saw, commenced The work
Of ampu'a,ion
"The grasp was firmly maintained, and
the saw vigorously piled, until tbs leg
was completely severed from the body!
"WI'h The loss Of his leg, the intoxicated
wretch fell upon his back, anG in that con-
dition lay The remainder OF the night.
Sin the meantime the ladies were fright
ened almost 20 death. With the dawn Of
morning The revelation was made ,ha. one
Of The ladies had participated in The smpu-
ta'ion of The leg Of her lover!
"The wreicbed man was slilI alive. His
friends were Immediately sen, for, and he
was conveyed 10 his home, where, with
proper treatment, he gradually and mirscu-
lousy recovered, and Is DOW alive and we'll.
"'We hardly credited says the editor Of
the journal from which we quote, 'lhe latter
par. of The s.ory, and con,ended ,ha, the
man must have bIed TO deslh on the spot, in
ss;ing, indeed, .hs. j. could no, be other
wise. But we were mis,sken.

From Godey's Lady's Book, for July.
THE WANDERER.
LADY OF ST. MARY's COUNTY.

BYALApY OF ST. MARY's COUNTY.
'sWhen lie down, say When shall aris
the night be gone !? and am full of tossing
and fro unto the dawning of the day.
The starry night is waning fast,
The lamplight's growing pale,
But thought is busy with the past,
And tells mournful tale.
Oh, hasten sleep to Danish cares
And give my eyelids rest!
Oh, quench the fame of other years
That's scorching in my breast!
Once more sit with aching eyes
Within that darkened room,
Where tears, and prayers, and stihed sighs
Are mingled with the gloom;
The slender hands with mine entwine,
My tears of anguish roll,
And now those dying eyes meet mine
And seem to pierce my soul.
And then promised, oh, my God!
Upon my bended knee,
That / would shun the gaming board,
And from the winecup flee;
And lave | kept that solemn VOW?
My soul is STEPPED in woe,
The misspent days and nights arise,
And darkly murmur no!
The rosy rays of morning come
And fall upon the sea;
Twill be a glorious day for some,
But ah, 'tis not for me.
While they with health and hope arise
And greet it with delight,
turn away my weary eyes,
And wish again for night.

HOPE.

What is hope' The beauteous sun
That colors all it shines upon
The beacon of life's dreary sea-
The star Of Immortality
Fountain of feelings young and warm
A day-beam bursting through the storm
A tone of melody, whose birth
Is oh! too rich, too pure, for earth
A blossom of that radiant tree
Whose fruit the angels only see
A beauty and charm whose power
Is seen, enjoyed, confessed, each hour
A semblance of that world to come
When earth and ocean
Meet the last Overwhelming doom.

Kanawha Coal.

The Cincinnati Gazette reports q highly favora-
BILE analysis Of Prof Locke Of the coal from the
mines Of the winifred Company in Kanawhs coun-
", Virginia The Gazette says:
cts rapidity In kindling, and great strength,
renders IL unequaled for steam purposes, and, as
does not clincker, and burns away 10 clean ash,
Il Is adapted in fact we believe the only coal suited
for locomotives the result OF a series Of expert
nents having proved that 10 bushels of II will per-
form the work Of cords Of bard wood, and run from
SIS 10 100 miles without needing 70 be rsked down
For domestic use Il Ia certainly the cleanest and
pleasantsst we know Of
1.-The Winifrede Company commenced running
coal last January, and thus far have brought down
300, 900 bushels, and contemplate getting forward
about a. much more ere the navigation closes,
which may be considered fair beginning. The
arrangements Tor next season viii admit Of their
getting daily fully 10000 bushels; and as the
James river and Ksnawha Navigation Company
have at last wakened up TO the necessity OF the
long called for improvements ia the kanawha
river, and the sfording continuous outlet for the
immense mineral resources Of that region, increas-
ed facilities Of transit will Il Is hoped, induce
ttil more extended development OF the large
tract Of coal property which the Winifrede Com
pany possesses"
The Gazette also predicts that this coal must be-
come the fvorite fuel in that market; fact
which must render these mines Of immense value,
rs Cincinnati 10 destined to become very large
city, and the sest Of extensive manufactures.
Western Virgins, when her resources are devel-
oped, viii become one Of the richest sections Of
the United States. The sooner the Central rail-
way Is completed the better win IL be for Eastern
Virgins. The trade which Western Virginia nov
contributes TO Cincinnati viii then be converted
