u report as follows to Chief Mitchell. He
says: ..-~.,.... -..
"Mr. Lloyd Briant, one Of the Consta.

pale and trembling with excitement, with
out.stretched arms, and bundle in his

breath-sChild!' child = 'child!'
"On unrolling the bundle from many
pieces Of old rags and newspapers, it was
found 10 contain a small dog which had
met an untimely end, and which some wag

Barnum's Masterpiece.

Barnum has performed many wonders,
but the greatest Of all is the following: 1t
consists in nothing less than passing down
the Niagara cataract in vessel construct
ed for this purpose. The vessel is ball
of gutta percha, thirty feet in diameter,
supported in its interior by hoops, rings Of
steel, and wood. Strings Of gutta percha,
coming from four points Of the rings, meet
in the centre of the sphere, where they are
fixed to coat Of mail of the same materi-
al. This is so fixed that man buckled in
it hangs, supported by the four strings,
safe in the middle of the ball. Al the
lower end of the ball, where the lower
part Of the mail is directed, some lead is
put SO that swimming in the water, the
head side will be turned upwards. In this
upper part there is hole which may be
opened by the person in the interior. The
ball is SO strong as to sustain, without
danger, the shock of the fall. On account
Of its size it cannot sink, nor can the per-
son buckled in the coat Of mail suffer any
harm from the violence Of the fall. As
soon as the ball, after its fall, has found its
centre Of gravity, its inhabitant unbuckles
HIMSELF opens the flap, and gets out ofthe
hold, waving the United States colors un-
der the applause Of some $4,000 or 10O,.
900 spectators, whom Barnum intends to
assemble, one dollar each, upon the occa-
sion Of his first performance. From every
such performance gain of $4,000 or
$4,000 is to be counted on, since from
all parts Of the Union spectators will flock
to the cataract Of Niagara. Barnum is
about to make an experiment with dog.
If that animal arrives all right below, a
niger will be engaged for the next e1per-
iment. If that one arrives equally safe,
the Yanke undertakes the first serious pas.

SHOCKING AccIDENT.-The La Grange
True Issue learns that while Mr.. Perkins,
of Fayette county, was temporarily absent,
his house and furniture were consumed by
fire, his infant child burned TO death, and
his aged mother SO badly injured that her
recovery is doubtful.
We learn that two negroes, the proper
ty of Mr.. Kinney, Of this place, were kill
ed by q Mr.. Howard, the overseer Of
John H. Jones, at his plantation on Caney,
a few days since. 1t seems that Howard
caught the negroes in the act Of stealing
horses and fired upon them, killing both.
We learn that on the evening of the
2lst instant, most cold-blooded murder
was perpetrated by one John Barnett upon
the person of Justice Lowther, in the town
Of Richmond. We have not learned all
the particulars, but understood that Low
Their was killed while standing at look.

ing party. Barnett is the man who killed
Glosscock some time since, and was COM
mitted for trial by Lowther. This is the
only incentive which can be imagined for
the commission of the deed. Barnett is
in Jail.
We learn that our indeatigable City
Marshall, Captain John N. Reid, succeed
ed on Wednesday night last in securing
the other negro whose companion was ar
rested some time since, and who are sus-
pected Of having committed good many
depredations lately in this city. He re-
sisted the Marshal, and it was only after 4
long struggle that he was secured.

The Man ,cho Paid his Debts Trice.
Under this heading the Boston Atlas has
the following paragraph:
Daniel Aver, Esq, Of Lowell, well
known for his large speculations in real
estate, about seven years ago. having pre-.
viously failed, called his creditors together
and discharged in full claims from which
the law had released him. Having again
acquired fortune, and having, to use the
language of the Lowell News, sounded
new cities, changed wildernesses into
villages, and served the public in the Le-
gislature," be became second time en-
barrassed, his notes being endorsed by his
friends for some 200, while he owed
other debts to the amount Of $780, 900.
Some Of his creditors, being in = great
hurry, sued him; but others lent him
q, 900, with which he recommended bu-
siness, which he has conducted with 50
much success that he is now able to an
nounce that ill his debts are again paid.
This is decidedly 50 new way Of paying
old debts" and speaks volumes for Mr..
Ayers energy, enterprise and skill.

But he that fches from me my good name,
Makes me poor indeed"
And yet the man who steals the purse is
called thief, and suffers thief S reward,
while for the robber of character there is
no fixed punishment, at least in ordinary
cases. The more is the pity.
The fruitful mother of scandal is idle
ness. Busybodies, as some one has terse-
ly said, are almost always idlers. The
less business a man or woman has, the
more they are apt to NEEDLE with that Of
their neighbors and
"sstan finds some mischief still.
For idle hands to do"
1t is melancholy to see how fearfully a
little calumny, carelessly and thoughtlessly
uttered, at first, goes gradually swelling on
to the gigantic proportion Of a damnlng
scandal. The mother of the mischief is
no bigger than midge's wing, but the
mischief is one of the swiftest growth, and
most pernicious influences. A word, nay.
a shrug. has often been amplifed into a
whitening defamation of character, where
there has Eeen no foundation, or next to
none, for the aspersion.
A satirical philosopher has said that
there is something in the distresses ofour
best friends that gives US pleasure. This
harsh judgment of human nature is rejected
by an ingenious mind, inexperienced in the
world and the worlds ways; but it gains
his reluctant assent when he sees the read
mess with which one friend is apt to lend
an ear to the detraction of another. 1t is
a dismal admission to be compelled to
make, but Rochefoucault is correct in his
satire.
There is no sin against our neighbor
that would be more surely avoided, if sub.
jected to the operation ofthe christian law,
than this. For upon slight grounds, or no
grounds at all, to malign the character Of
fellow.being, is not to do unto another as
we would have another do unto us. And
yet we are quite as liable to be its limo.
cent victim as that other. As we would
be fairly treated by our neighbor, in such
case, so should we, upon the first whis.
pering Of SANDER, treat him, and judge
not lest we be judged.
Scandal rises, in most instances, like
the first sigh Of the gentlest summer eve.
ming zephyr. Softly its voice breathes
amidst the flowers, scarcely bending sin.
gle leaf as it passes. Presently the zephyr
becomes a breeze, and soon swells into a
gale; ...s..-
"Prende fosza poco = POGO,
VOLTA gia di loco In loco"
Bye and bye this simple little breath has
become tempest, and carries before il
irremediable wreck and ruin to its unfor.
tunate victim. Surely of all the vices Of
which man or woman can be guilty, there
is none more contemplate, as there GER
tainly is none more deadly. than the vice
Of scandal.-N. o. Picayune.

Terrible Dcath.-One of the most ter.
fibIe casualties Of which we ever heard
took place At or near Port Clinton, on the
liss Of the railroad between this place
a.d Philadelphia, one day last week. By
soue mistake a switch was misplaced, in
coassquence of which q train Of cars, in
charge Of an engineer by the name Of
Rier, Vas thrown of the track. The ten.
der was thrown forward on to the engine,
which was badly crushed, and Mr.. Ritter
thrown in and wedged between parts ofthe
wreck. where two steam cocks were open.

soon a hi. horrible condition was realiz.
ed By those who were anxious to relieve
him, the escape valve Of the engine was
opened, ssd every effort made for his
release. II order to do this, however, il
was found necessaryto call into requisition
sevenl nckscrews; and BY means Of these
the iroa arms Of death, which inclosed
him in their unyielding embrace, were
opeaed, and the unfortunate man taken
