1HE ENGLISH DICTIONARY. Authors are
talking about neW dictionary of the English
Language which the great publishing houses in
London are taking up - In spirit congenial with
the trade. noble scheme (sO it il called) has
been made before the Row and Albemarle
street, and the leading frms are committed to
give us new dictionary to supersede johnson
and Richardson. We are to hear very little
more OF johnson Dictionary or Richardson's =
Dictionary and. as for Webster and Todd they
are to disappear as authorities, and the quota
tion prices at which they will soon sell at Sothe-
by and Wilkinson 3, and Willis and SOtheran's
will be lamentably Iowa fearful sacrifice
quotation. Then the Pathological Society, with
Trench, and Furnivall, and COleridge, have a
proPoSH with regard to the present state Of
English leXlcOgraphy. The society has formed
within itself special committee, for the pur-
pose of collecting English words and idioms
hitherto unregistered. The committee invite
communications and distribute rules. They ut
first very properly cOnfine their labors to the
less-read authors of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries, and call attention to the un-
worked mines for dictionary y-makers of repute
like PhilemOnd, Holland, Moore, and Bishop
Hackett. Thus some competent person is to
read certain authors for words alone and to ex-
tract such words with due attention to the pas
sage and the page, and contribute the result to
the society. The idea is most excellent Take
an instance from their illustrations of their
plan. Thus the earliest examples given in
johnson or Richardson of the word yacht is
from Cooks Voyages" leading the student
to believe that yacht was n novelty early in
the reign of King George III.-which, indeed
1t was not, for Evelyn mentions il in his :. Me-
mOirs' as yacht or pleasure boat Just one hun

SPIRrTUALIsM-That spiritualism, as un.
derstood and practiced by its votaries is Of
the devil, is illustrated by another case
which is given by correspondent Of the
Chicago Press, as having occurred at Knox.
vile, in this State last week The circum-
stances are thus related:
Elizabeth Jones, a young unmarried lady,
living az E!ba in this county, some time
since became a convert to spiritual doctrines,
up to which time she bore an unblemished
character, and was esteemed a modest and
intelligent young lady. Since May, 1856,
she has been residing in the family of one
Andrew j. Mcbride, also Spritualist, a
medium and. it is said, an author of book
reiatin: 10 spiri;uaiism. Mcbride is a mar
ried man and has one child Miss Jones
has been in feeble health for some two years
yast, but better within the last ak or eight
months. During all her sickness Mcbride
has been her spiritual doctor, prescribing
for her according 10 directions from the
spirits and obtaining information from the
same source as to the nature Of her COM
plants. On the third inst she was taken
very sick, and died on the 9th. She vomit-
Cd considerable and raised dark grumous
fluid; the peculiar nature Of the matter
elected from the stomach and other circum-
stances, excited suspicion that her death
was unnatural.
An inquest was held on the Sth inst, con.
Quoted by Coroner Hamilton. Upon post
HsJrtCm examination, the stomach, liver and
lungs indicated no symptoms of disease suf-
ticent to produce death. Upon opening
the abdomen, female child Of perfect form
was discovered The child appeared to be
in the sixth or seventh month Of CESSATION.
There was CONGESTION Of the womb, and it
had evidently been subjected to consttu.
tional medicines, which had produced ute
rne contraction, whicuh resulted in intiain-
nation.
The evidence before the Coroner is said
to indicate that Mcbride was the father Of
the child and duplicates him in the death Of
the mother, either by administering drugs
to produce abortion or poison to conceal her
shame. Mcbride escaped on the morning Of
the Sth. Officers are now in pursuit Of him.
He is five feet eight or nine inches in height,
weighs 80 to 100 pounds, auburn hair
which he wore long, high cheek bones, long
face, long peaked nose, broad at the base,
sunken checks, with large open nostris. of
downcast look, stammers in speaking. 800
reward is already offered by Sheriff Euke,
which will probably be increased by the
friends of the deceased and Of justice.
