on which the genins played, according to the
Paris correspondent, was a cage of ducks of
various sizes and descriptions. An electric
wire was attached to each gosin, and the
music was produced by battery, operated
npon in such manner ms TO make the ducks
qnack forth the notes! The letter closed
with the announcement that, on the previous
night, the ducks had broken out of their cage,
attacked eccentric proprietor in his bed, and
eat him up alive! This ridiculous story is
now going :he rounds of the French press.

DISEASE TO WHICH RAILROAD ENGINEERS
ARE SuBIfcT.-M. de Martinez has rec ntly
communicated 10 the Academy of Medicine
in Paris, n note relative to an aff, ction 10
which oil engine drivers and suckers EN-
played on railroads, are subject:
The Gazette des llopitaux, in alluding TO
the subject, states that these men have their
respiration affected by passing through the
strong current Of air; and that the inhaing of
the oxyde gas aud the carbonic acid which
escapes from the lire place, affects their ner-
vous system, and frequently deprives them
of that presence of mind which is 80 neces
sary for men who have the lives OF thousands
of persons in their hands. The paper re-
commpnds the directors of the different lines

servants by doubling their number, aud to

A SENSIBLE REcEIPT.-For low spirits we
recomend clear conscience, fresh mir, lots
of exersise, and taste for music. sand il
came 10 pass when the evil spirit was upon
Saul, that David took harp and played with
his hand, 80 Saul was refreshed. and was we'll,
and the evil spirit departed from him." In
treating diseases of the mind, music is not
sufficiently valued. In raising the heart
above despair, an old violin is worth four doc.
tors and two apothccary stores. Try it, ye
gloomy, self condcmning saints--lt will give
beautiful glow to your stagnant blood.

THE LAND MANIA IN THE WEST.

We are told, (says the Philadelphia In.
quirer,) that the mania prevails to a fearful
extent in the West; and that unless checked,
some serious disaster will inevitably follow.
Millions Of dollars have, in the aggregate,
been invested in this way and in many cases
by individuals who have postponed the pay
meni OF their obligations. They have heard
some marvellous stories of the increased pri.
ces of land, Of towns having started up sud.
denly in what few years ago, wasa compar
ative wilderness, of large fortunes thus real
lied, and hence they have become excited,
and in some sense infatuated, and invested
all their surplus means-nay, means that
were not surpus--and somewhat in the
same spirit of the individual who buys lot.
terry ticket. That in certain localities of the
West, and particularly in Iowa, Minnesota,
and Kansas, n great advance in the prices of
land has taken place. is beyond all question.
But while we hear of these, we hear little or
nothing of the vast tracts that are compar-
a'ivrly valueless, and are likely to continue
for II long period to come. At this moment,
thousands and tens of thousands of acres of
land may he obtained, even in the remote
regions of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia, for mere song. In the course of
time, they will probably come into play when

Western contemporaries are getting alarmed

They say that it is injecting even classes of

thing. But, for the man of family to dispose
OF, or to mortgage the little property he holds,

in Western lands, is another, ms many, We
boldly predict, will discover to their sorrow.

done. The few only will succeed, while the
many will suffer. Nay, we have already
heard of Instances in which land thus pur-

at the time either that it was sterile, or far
beyond the profitable reach Of human indus.

CUTTING THE THRoATs OF WoMsE.-The
following is from the Detroit Advertiser. All
hoEorable men, we are confident, will agree
with us that such cases as the one here re-
corded should not only inhame the indigna-
tion but excite the deepest scorn Of mankind
and wonanknd:
Mrs. Perkins, lady wSo has occupied the
position of postmistress, at BaraboO in Wis
consn, has bren gulotined by the rotary
knife, which is new in operation at Washing
ton, and her place given to n brawlng pot
house politician. The letters on file appl, ing
for this change have been examined by the
Hon. G.. C. Washburne. to find ont what were
the causes of the Iady's removal. aud one of
the letters, on the part of Mrs. Perkins, was
found to be from Democrat high in Office in
the Siata, who suid that he had been applied
To to mid in procuring her removal. That he
had made inquiry and was satisfied that her
removal was not desired by any honorable
man; that three OF the parties who applied for
his influence were ut the time so drunk as 10
be little better than beasts, and two Others
were in but it'll, less brasily condition; that
Mrs. p. was the widow of a Democratic elec
tor in the State OF New YORK IN 1874; That
she never intcrfred in politics, but attended
strictly to her duties, and that she depended
in great degree upon the office for the sup
port of herself and her children. Alsu n
manly letter from Hon. Daniel Wells, jr.,
stated that he hid made inquiry into the case,
and was satisfied that the interest or honor
of the Government would not be promoted
by the change. Also n rrm0nstraDc" signed
by over two hundred citizens of Barahoo
against any change, and large number OF
affidavts, many of which are recognized ms
having been made by gentlemen among the
most resrectabl" in the State, denying that
Mrs Perkins had ever failed to discharge her
duties honestly and fairly. or that she had
ever exercised or senght to exercise nnv po.
iticnl influence whatever. This is n specimen
of the necessities OF the party. They are
about starved out.

BApTIzING.-The Warrenton Whig says:
On Sunday evening last, thirty two persons
were baptised in Cedar Run, near Warrcnion,

number of persons from the town and coun.
try, who had assembled to witness the cere.

commencement of the revival nearly forty
