AcoUITTAL FOR SHOOTING A SEDUcER.-A young man named Hardesty has just been ac- quilted at Burlington, Boone county, Kv.. un- der charge of murder iIfshooting Mir. Grubb who had seduced his sister, Hardesty had told the seducer that he would give him six months to make his choice between marrying the girl and being killed The six months expired and the marriage not having been effected, Hariesty meeting him shot him at sight while he was at- tempting to draw his weapon. The judge in dismlssing him, is reported in the Louisville Courier, of the 18th ult., to have addressed him as follows
 SIR You have been indicted by grand jury of your country upon a most heinous charge. You have put yourself upon your country and your God for deliverance You have had fair and impartial trial before them, and they have both pronounced you not guilty, and so say l. It may not be proper for me to express my sentiments, yet nevertheless, will do it. Young man! had been wronged as you have been, would have spent every dollar I had on earth, and all that could have begged and borrowed, and then starved upon the track of the vilain but would have imbrued my hands in his blood. Go hence without delayl You are acquitted!.'

Comparative Cost of American and
 English Railroads.

Messrs. Colbum and Holley, civil engineers who have returned from European tour, made statement before the late meeting of the Franklin Institute, at Philadelphia, which goes tc show that we are behind European countries inspecd and cost of construction of our railroads:
 "From the statement made, it appears that the average cost of maintenance renewed of way, and engines and working is in New York 7O12 cents per mile run against but 36 15 cents in England and 421a cents in France. In the northern United States the average distance run with the consumption of one ton of coal Cor wood in equal proportion)is forty four miles, in Great Britain 1t Is Seventy-seven miles, and in France eighty miles, The greatest economy, there fore, Is practised on France roads. The average cost of fuel per mile run in different countries IS about cents in England, II cents in France, and Is cents in New York and Massachusetts. The average receipts per mile run are: In New York, Sl 76; Great Britain, $l 4; and France $2O3
 The speed of the English passenger trains exceeds that of the American the average being twenty eight miles an hour. The weight of these trans Is much less than that of the Ame. rlcan, being 1nnety-6ve tons in England, and one hundred and thirty tons in New York. M The difference in speed is likewise accounted for by the lighter grades of the foreign lines. Besides this, the tracks are more carefully laid than Is usual here; the cuttings are wider, the drainage very thorough, the ballastings twenty SIX feet wide and two feet deep, the cross-tes nine feet long, and saturated either with coal tar, creosote, or sulphate of copper. The rails wegh seventy two lbs. to the yard being in helSht five inches, and much more carefullv manufactured than in this country.
 The cost of a mile of first class English per- manent way, at English prices, is but little more than that of mile of ordinary American rail- way, at American prices. The passenger loco motives of Great Britain consume raw btumi- nous coal with entire success, and without smoke. In Belgium also this fuel is used.
 Mir. Colburn was of opinion, after thorough examination of all the facts, that under the for. elsn system there was an absolute economy of oo or 40 per cent. over the corresponding result on American railway. The average divid end on all English share capital was 355 per cent.

Bad Money.

At the east, there is, in circulation, large amount of counterfeit silver coin. The follow ing description of it is taken from the Philadel phia Bulletin.
 "All our readers may not be aware that just at present there is an immense amount of coun- terleit silver coin in circulation. principally half and quarter dollars, and these, particularly the latter, are so well executed as to defy da.ection, save on very close examination. Their ring is pa,sably good; they are so thickly galvanized as to defy the common test of nitric acid, and the die is almost perfect. The milling is, how ever, defective, and there is a small projecting spot just under the left hand and cap of the fig ure of liberty, caused by dint in the mould or die"

How Jog WON THE PENCIL.--Joe B-is unqueStionably the handSomest married man of Cincinnati. Joe sports wife, besides several other creature comforts Welt, he and his wife, Harry - anu George - and Heir wives all board at the same house. A day or two ago, While they were at the table luxuratny on de- tached portions of boiled turkey. with oysters, the conversation turned on christian names. when Mrs. Harry contended that she could name more distinguished individuals who bore the name of Harry than any gentleman could of hs own name, and concluded by offering a gold pencil as a wager against suitable equiva- lent if she should win.
 The trial commenced Mrs. Harry started oil with Harry of the west" adding dozen others.
 George - now gathered up on Washing. ton, the four Georges of England, Lord George of France, etc.
 "Now, Mr. John, what have you to say?' asked the charming Mr. Harry.
 "Oh! can give you hundred. The two Adams, Lord John Russell, John Tyler-John -J -John--bring me some water, John!'
