A HEROIC WoMAS-A correspondent
furnishes fact in regard to the noble CON
duct of woman that deserves honorable
mention. The clipper ship Neptune's Car,
Capt, Jacob Patten, sailed from New York
for San Francisco about the 29th July last.
The captain, on the passage was attacked
with brain fever and subsequent blindness.
The chief mate having been deposed from
duty previous to the captains illness, and
the second mate being incompetent to nav
igate, the vessel, the captains, wife, who
happened providentially 10 be on board,
and who had been taught navigation by her
husband, took charge Of fthes ship and brought
it safely into poft.--Boston Transcript

ed by brutal butcher in the thir-
teenth century, as punishment for his
wife. She was very lo9uacious, and find
ing nothing would cure her he put pair
of stays on her breath, and so prevent her,
as he thought from talking. This cruel
punishment was inflicted by other heart
less husbands till at last there was hardly a
wife in all London who was not condemned
to the like infiction. The punishment
became so universal at last, that the ladies,
in their defence, made fashion of it, and it
so has continued to the present day. ls,z..,Z

W. Il.
We very often get an idea of commu
nifty, by fathoming its leading men. w
stick our stakes at that point, and reason
by comparison, downward; notthat prom
inent individuals make the community, an.
more than the community makes them
but both act, and react upon each other
until standard isformed-and that stand
ard is just high enough for the OCCASION

You have, respected reader, already seer
inuch-perhaps too much-of Ike Turtle
You must recollect, however, that l have
before declared, that he was the embodi.
ment of the spirit of time. He was the
presiding genius of Puddleford, and had
been as much moulded by it as he had
moulded Puddleford. sa ;r5
Turtle, as We have seen, was host in
law. He was just as useful and mighty
in his sphere as Webster was in his. 1t
must in candor be admitted that there was
q difference in spores; but that in no way
affects the principle-and the principle is
what we are contending for.
/ have thus far exhibited to you Turtle
under excitement, as an advocate in the
case of Filkins ps. Beadle, defending his
country against what he called an ''aboli-
tion 'lectre," struggling in the cause of ed
ucation; but we cannot always probe man
to the bottom, and disinter the latent jewels
of mind, unless we know and observe him
unrlffled by passion, and unswayed by feel.

waters to sound the depths Of the ocean.
I had occasion to consult Turtle on a
point of law. The question was, whether
a certain woman who claimed dowerin my
land could probably show a state of facts
that would legally entitle her to recover.
Mr.. Turtles Office was in one of the up
per rooms of a tumble-down tailor's shop
In the village. Outside, his sign swung to

string around its nose, a copy Of the stat
utes, stub of apen; Volume II. of Blak-
stone, and no law-book beside, all of which
were enveloped in dirt and cobwebs. Mr..
Turtle himself when entered, sat in one
chair, his two feet stretched wide apart,
each in another, like the two extremeties
Of the letter A; and Ike himself was very
philesophically smoking a pipe, and blow
ing the whifs out of the window. -

We received letter two days ago from

FLoeGING WITCH TO DEATH.AIt
seems that young lady Of Matamoras was
taken sick, and an old lady in the neigh
borhood, reported to have some skill in the
virtue of herbs, was solicited to visit and
administer to the patient. For some cause
or other, the old lady failed to attend, and
suspicious reports were circulated that the
old lady had bewitched the young ONE.
The authorities were petitioned to compel
the attendance of the oldone Officers were
sent to take her before her supposed victim,
and these miserably ignorant wretcher re-
ported that they on several occasions re,
paired to her donlicil and could not find
her at hcme, but found instead suspicious
looking black cat. After several efforts,
however, they found the old woman at
home instead of her eat, and she was taken
to the presence Of the invalid. But her
herbs failing to restore the sick TO health,
and the meddlesome black cat persisting in
following It's owner, and being by the
neighbors found in the room of the invalid
instead of her mistress, fixed the opinion
fast in the minds of these ignorant people
that the old woman and black cat were all
one and the same person; that she, being a
witch, could take the form of the cat and
assume her own shape at will-that the in
valid was a victim to her diabolical art
With these convictions, it is said, they.
sought out the unfortunate old creature,
and actually tied her up, and with thongs
cruelty dogged her to death as a witch.A
The civil authorities of Matamoras were
not party to the tragic part of this singu-
lar transaction, and they were prompt in
arrestmg the actors Brownsville { 7sras) J

Az On MACHINE.-The firemen Of Phil
adelphia intend to parade at the Emira
Tournament "the first Philadelphia Fire
Engine" This fre engine, which was the
first ever used in Philadelphia, was built as
an experiment in London, in the year 1859,
and was the first ever made Oh the air-tght
chamber principle 1t was bought by some
of the descendants of Penn, and brought
to Philadelphia, where it was kept in use
for long while. 1t was the first fire en-
gine ever used in the United States. In
course Of time it became inadequate to the
wants Of the city and was sold to the bor-
ough Of Bethlehem, where a company was
formed calling themselves the Perseverance
Fire Company, and which still retains pos
session Of the old relic The engine is OF
the same style as some of the present New
York machines. 1t has gallery and side
stream and suction. Itis at present in good
working order, and will throw q stream Of
water distauce'of about IS or 100 feet
horizontally. when the fremen's parade
of last year was contemplated, an arrange
ment was effected with the company for the
loan of the machine, to occupy position
in the parade. She was placed on a plat
form with wheels and drawn by six or eight
gray horses The Perseverance Fire Com
pany of Bethlehem have now u new appa-
ratns, of the second class. The equipments
of the company are of the New York style.

self in the most undisguised disaffection.- -
The Administration, we hope by this time,
is advised of the necessity of sending a
larger body Of troops to Utah, and has
taken measures to prevent the danger OF
allowing small number to proceed, that
would, in all probability, be forced to re-
tire before the superior numbers Of the
Mormons. 1t is not unlikely new expedi'
tion will be organized, commensurate with
the gravity of the difficulty. The Terrific
ry, in case of hostilities an army would have
to operate in, is so far removed from civil
zatiOn, and besides, being unfriendly to the
troops on their arrival, the latter would
necessarily have to be provided with sub
sistence for at least twelve months. The
provisions to be transported with the men
would have to be moved in every direction,
found necessary during the campaign, and,
to keep up communication with the East
posts, at convenient distances from each
other, should be established on the route
between Utah and Missouri. Should a
war take place between the Mormons and
the United States, it will be one of the most
protracted and bloody the country ever ell.
gagged in, and would require an immense
outlay to bring it to termination. AT
the end the MormonS will be subdued, but
in doing so, much blood and treasure will
have to be expended.
