A Point Of Law.

a curious question for the lawyers
has arisen in London. A lady Was
courted by a:gentleman, who pro-
posed to marry her and she accept
ed. But he didn't fulfill his prom.
ise and she sued him for the breach.
1t turned out, however, that he
could not marry her because he had
a wife living at the time. In an
swer to the suit, he says, Barkis is
willing, but the law wont allow it,
and the lady can only demand the
fulfillment Of his engagement by an
act contra bonoS more. The que5'
ton then arises, What damage has
the lady sustained in not being mar
ried to a married MANI
There is subtlety Of casuistry sug
gested by this, which the Chief Ba'
ron himselfdid not like to encoun'
ter, and an arbitration Was recon-
mended.

DEATH BELL.

A story is told Of the casting OF
the bell for the Church of St. Mag
delen, Breslau. When the metal was
ready to pour into the mould the
chief founder went to dinner, and
forbade bis apprentice, under penalty
Of death, to touch the vent by which
the metal was conveyed. The youth
curious to see the operation, disobey-
ed orders, and the whole Of the metal
went into the mould, and the enra-
ged master, returning from his meal,
slew him on the spot. On breaking
open the mould he found be had been
too hasty for the bell was cast as per-
fectly as possible. When it was
hung in its place the master had been
sentenced to death by the sword fol-
the murder Of his apprentice, and he
entreated the authorities that be
might be allowed to hear it rung
onee before he died. His petition
was granted, and the bell has since
been rung at every execution.

Wonderful Sagacity.

Oae of the most astounding in-
stances Of the sagacity Of the Dog
transpired this morning, which ever
came to oar knowledge. The Messrs.
.Staude, Tobacconists, No. SO Con-
-gres. street, closed their store last
evening. leaving their favorite New
foundland dog inside. This morn
ing on opening the store, the floor
in the back room waa found to be on
fire, and the dog was laboring with
his fore feet and mouth trying 10 sub
due it. A pail Of water which stood
in the room had been poured down
the hole. The faithful animal had
so successfully eombatted the fire as
to prevent its spreading beyond a
spot two or three feet square. How
long the noble fellow had stood sen
t;nel and fought down the advancing
flames can only be conjsctured;it must
have been several hours. His feet,
legs and mouth were badly burnt,
and il is feared that he is seriously
injured internally by inhaling the
hot air. He refuses food, and is ap-
parently in much pain. We trust
the sagacious and faithful creature is
not dangerously injured. This is
the same dog which discovered the
man Lally on the ice. He is worth
his weight in gold, and may safely
be pronounced the noblest OF his
race.-Troy Daily Times, Alprl1S.

st. Paul was diminutive in stat
ure, and his body disfgared by some
lamensss or distortion, which may
have provoked the oontemptuous
expression Of his enemies. His
beard was long aud thin. and his
head was bald. The Characteristic
of his face were transparent COM
plexion, which yisibly betrayed the
quick changes Of his feelings; a
bright gray eye, under thickly over
hanging eyebrows; cheerful and
winning expression Of countenancs,
which invited the approach and in
spired the confidence of strangers.
1t would be natural to infer from
his continued journeys and manual
labor, that be was possessed Of great
strength of constitution; but this is
by no means certain, for men of deli

One of our exchanges mentio

One Of our exchanges mentions
that young gentleman, who had
been educated for the profession Of
a dandy, and who, not having the
means to set himself up in business,
had turned his attention to loafing,
with considerable ability, as an am
ateur in that line, was found dead
"a short time since at GallatIn,
having evidently died under par
ticulary shocking circumstances.
In swallowing a lump of nolasses-
candy the sticky edible had caught
the end of biz mous,ache and pulled
it down his throat, and painful
death was the consequence, though
the jury could not agree as to
whether i was the result Of stran-
gqlation. or poison by the nitre ol

POLITICAL CLERGYMEN.-This class
of men has increased very numer-
ously during the last five or six
years. Many of them now enjoy
reputation, based far more upon
their skill in the treatment Of political
subjects and secular measures, than
on their calculations Of Scriptures,
or labors in the cause Of mans re-
demption.
There can be no justification for
turning the pulpit iuto a political
stumping ground; it is deadly to the
cause Of religion, aud turns sacred
things into a scoff and Jest
The influence Of pulpit politics
canno. be other than detrimental
both in a religious and worldly view
The result of political teachings
from the pulpit is the fostering o'
an unhealthy excitement, creating
such an interest in the mind as to
wholly unfit it for, and create in it,
an indifference to the common eve
ry day duties Of life.

MANUFACTURE OF GAs.-The pro

Bituminous coal is thrown into bot
cylinder Of iron, the mouth of which
lis closed carefully by an iron door
with the edges cemeuted with soft
clay. The vapor arising from the
coal is received into a tube,by means
of which it is permitted to escape in

cooled and deposits much Of its i'm
pure matter. 1t is then passed in
to another series Of vessels, contain

In the manufacture of gas from
Newcastle coal, chaldron weighing

Lace Foco Matches.

These useful household conven-
fences were first introduced to the
public in 1886. An exchange in a
discourse on the match trade, says:
o. A. Philips, of Springfield, Mass
achuselts, was the first person who
took out a patent for their manulac-
ture. The composition is prep
aration of chalk, phosphorus, aud
glue, and is made as follows: An
ounce Of glue is dissolved in warm
water, to this is added four ounces
OF puiyerized chalk, ana stirred
until i; forms into thick paste. One
ounce Of phosphorus is then added
and the whole kept liille warm
and we'll stirred, until the whole
are Incorporated together. Into
this the ends Of the matches
which have been previously coated
with sulphur, and dried--are
dipped, and than laid in rows OH
slips of paper, cut wide enough to
lap over the ends OF the matches.
One of the largest Loco Foco
match factories in this country is
located in Troy. 1t makes about
$1,000 worth week. When Lo-
co Foco matches were first invent.
ed, they sold for six cents a box.
They now sell for twenty-five cents
