A SNAKE REMOVED FROM A WOMAN
SroMAcH.-1'he Logansport Qnd) Phao
sites that DR.. A. Myers, of that city, VIII,
has acquired some reputation as the invento
ora trap to catch tape worms, has lately Der
formed cure of more than ordinary merit.
Mrs. =. Ryan. Of Fort Wayne, about q
years Of age, has been severely afflicted 70
four years with sensation in the stonlacI
as though there was some reptile moving il,
it. During that time she was treated 70
various diseases by numerous physicians o
skill, a:d by several for tape worm,
Hearing Of DR.. Myers new process for thu
rumOval of porasite from the human stom
ach, Mrs. r. went to Logansport, and place,
herself under his charge. Within two week,
DIR. NJ. removed from her stomach snak,
about 81 feet long, and II inche. in diane
ter, instead of aggravating it, as had been tn,
result OF previous treatment she had re.
ceived. The latter part of her illness she wa
unable to attend to the domestic care of he,
family, or even to take care of herself. I,
required two hours to prepare for etiring a,
night, an equal length Of time transpired be
fore she could lay down-and often she wa.
deprived of sleep for nights together. Ere
quent1y she would walk the fpor until ex
hausted, because unable to lie down withou

THE RIVER

THE LEvEE.-There were thirteen boats
at our Levee on SATURDAY morning and the
crowd and throng on the Levee as great as
we have ever seen it. Where are the oroak-
ers now who were predicting an almost total
suspension of business in the middle of the
summer? Could they have seen the Levee
on Saturday, and have passed through Third
street yesterday, crowded with teams, coach
es, drays, and the sidewalks crowded with
pedestrians-they would have hid their d.
minished heads. 1t seems to be the nature
of some people to be continually croakn;g
edull times" when in their own laziness, they
have only shat their eyes to the tide of bust
ness and traffic passing around them. Poor
infatuated folks |! some of them talk as if
they expected to see the grass growing in
our streets, in reality, by next summer.

The Police CoURT is dull, now. An air
of dullness reigns around it. Occasionally
some case comes up that draws a group
there, and the persons interested sit on the
benches and fan themselves while the law
yers make profound pleas, slam books about,
and quarrel on unints Zig BILE p ints. But the
usual persons to be seen there are police
man or two, and some victim, usually ar
raigned for drunkenness. Down in the Mar
shal's room, we sometimes find squad of
policemen, two or three press reporters, and
some lawyers; occasionally some case involves
them all in debate; but more usually, we
pick up an item or two, and stroll back, with
notebook painfully empty.
William Pigeon, an old bird, was captured
by an ornithologist who wore star, yester-
day, while lying on the street. 1t was sup
posed William had taken rather too much
refreshments for this hot weather, and for the
indiscretion was fined S. and costs.
Rosanna Agin and Felix Reynolds, were
arraigned for adultery. Rosanna is mar
RED woman, whose husband has been absent
since last August. A day or two since
Michael came back, and found Rosanna nur-
sing babe few days old. Not liking this
arrangement, he had Felix arrested, and he
will likely have chance to reflect on his
conduct, and be boarded by the State while
so doing He was sent below to await his
trial, which will come of in ten days.

A SINGULAR SUIT.-About q year ago, a
Frenchman named BAIL Carnoye, wishing to
send some money to his wife, at St. Davids,
in Canada, gave $50 to G.. A. Mondalet, a
conveyancer AMI notary public in this CITY,
to mail to her, not being able to write him
self. Mr.. NJ. promised to duly enclose the
draft and register the letter, but the receipt
for the same was never forthcoming, though
Mrs. Cornoye made several demands there
for. Matters stood thus sometime. Madame
never received the letter, and yesterday Mr..
Mondalet was sued before Esq. Furber, to
recover the amount with interest from that
date, as Mr.. G. alleges he never mailed the
amount. The registering clerk of the post
Office produced his entrybook CT that date,
and showed that no such letter had been
registered, if mailed. What the conclusion
of the case was, we did not learn. But a moral
is derivable from the transaction. Do your
own mailing if you have valuable letters.

Mrs. BERNARD.-By some unaccountable
mistake OF ours, as those things are said to
happen in the best regulated newspapers, we
mentioned Mrs. Bernard as appearing in
character Oh Wednesday evening, entirely
foreign to the play. We got two tragedies
mixed up nearly as bad as an inveterate
yarn-teller had two stories COMPOUNDED, when
he spoke of tracking deer in the snow dur
ing harvest time. 1t furnishes us good &C.
casion, however, while making the correction,
to say what we have several times intended
to- in regard to this talented actress, that we
consider her as unriyaAed in nearly all of her
characters. We doubt whether her acting in
"Meg," in the play of Willow Copse, for in
stance, can be surpassed on the American
stage. Last night again, in Hecate, there
was but one opinion, that of unlimited admi.
ration, expressed in regard to her playing.
So much for tragic characters; for as
eomedienne, Mrs. Bernard stands deservedIy
high. She is the chief charm of every come
dy she appears in. Some of her characters
in this line we have never seen excelled. We
have not now time to enumerate them, for
the frequenters Of the Varieties have all ad-
mired them for themselves. We hope in
common with them that Mrs. B. will remain
with us during the season, and amusc us
nightly by her excellent acting in every char
acter she assumes.

ELoPEMENT OF A MARRIED WoMaN.-Fran

ELopENENr OF A MARRIED WoMAN.-Fran-
els Heating, clerk in grocery in New
York, some time since fell in love with Mrs.
Cahill, and on Friday last ran off with her.
The affair having been placed in Officer Far
leys hands, he found them in Poughkeepsie,
where they had been married They were
brought to this city. r.
Heating was taken before Justice Osborn,
who committed him to the Tombs to await
an examination on charge of grand larceny,
preferred by the lawful husband Of the wo-
man. Heating is but mere boy, and does
not appear to be more than sixteen or eigh-
teen years of age. The woman is rather good
looking. and appears to be % or % years of
age. She sobbed violently in the court ROOM
and when Heating about being taken down
to the prison, she broke away from those
around her and ran after him, bat was
brought back by the officers. At first she
refused to leave the court room. but was
finally persuaded to return home by one of
her husbands friends. 49, dW

IT appears to be the fashion in Virginia for
Sabbath School teachers to go to School
with revolvers in their pockets, and in the in
tervals of their teaching to use them as oc-
casion may require. Thus on Sunday last a
. young man named Austin, a student in
an Episcopal Theological Seminary, went to
Sabbath school of which he was teacher,
in Fairfax County, Va, not far from WASH
ington, thus regularly armed and equipped.
AN attempt seems to have been made by two
of his fellow-teachers, Or, perhaps, his pupils,
to prevent him from entering the school
house, and third party having interfered,
Austin drew his revolver and fred three
three shots at this third party, one of which
killed him instantly. Austn's friends insist
that his life had been threatened, that he was
brutally assaulted by the other parties, and
that lie fired IN selfdefense. However that
may be, the whole affaris a sad illustration
of the rapid barbarization of the South
What strange idea must prevail of religion
where such things happen at a Sunday
school! This is the Church South with a
vcngeance! 5a s.a. .'.h

We ARE A RUINED PEOPLE while walk
ing with Muggins up street yesterday, he
espied label of r'to rent" displayed on
store door on ST. Anthony street. Where
upon Muggins most tragically bewailed over
our inevitable ruin. "Why,' quoth he, 'just
think Of it I! What are we coming to2 A
store for rent-business getting dull-rents
exorbitantly high-people closing their BUSH
ness and selling out-stores to rent all over
town-ruin staring US in the face-grasshop-
pers, starvation, bankruptcy, &C., &C." And
working himself up into paroxysm, Mug
gins rushed into a bar room to allay his ex-
element. 3D.. -.t
How many Mugeinses there are in society,
who are forever running on thus. Because
the supply of stores is getting somewhat
nearer the demand, and rents falling, they
suppose store to rent now and then, sign
of future ruin; business getting dull. Away
with such croakers; we have no patience
with such men, @u-. o..
