Senator Thomson of New-Jersey has shown ais

Of one Mr.. Hineline, a Democrat, also from the

act of mean revenge unworthy of magnanimous
mind but quite in keeping with the pigmy charac-

represents the public sentiment of New-Jersey in
the Senate. He is now preparing for another at

an effort TO inOcuate il with the LecOmpOn virus,

happens, oddly enough, that Mr.. Douglas has al

The bread turned ont by the great mechanical
bakery gives eutire satisfaction to it's consumers
both as regards size, quality and price. think II
will be a success. Already revolution IN the busI
ness among us has begun. Routes all over the city
are being got up after the manner of the newspa-
per carriers, who buy bywbolesae and sell by retail.
The low price of -four in the market tavors this
enterprise materially. Chemists have proved that
the bread of most large cities is grossly aduteratcd
In London, 10 pure bread can be bought. Chalk,
cay. potato starch &c, are there used by all the
bakers in low negtbOrhOOds. Others adulterate
with barley beans, peas and potato faTina, while
some others introduce ingredients positively inju-
ri0us to- if not destructive of, the digestive organs.
No doubt similar practices have prevailed even IN
this land Of cheap flour. But the new bakery can
afford to dispense with all these tricks of the trade,
only hot, but pure and wholesome. At the feast
given in honor of Mr.. Berdan's enterprise, there
was crowd Of lawyers, editors, clergyInen, doc
tors, and of genteel people generally. Well part
of the performance consisted IN presenting each
guest with huge loaf Of the new bread hot and
savOry from the oven. This he was requested to
take home with him, but directly afterward the
making Of speeches began, and then the sight was
funny enough. There stood the aforesaid doctors
and editors in TIE crowd, each with his loaf under
his arm scarcely knowing how to hold il, and yet
unwilling TO let it 90. Some of these were eating
great holes into the dellcatey DaKcd cctcr rs they
listened to the speeches. and most of the black
coats were unconscousy changed into we'll
powdered brOadCloth. Bread was in the mouth of
both speaker and listener.
The trial of Smith for shooting Richard Carter
still continues. The prosecution cOntented itself
with proving that Smith entered the st. Law
renee Hotel at MONDAY accOsted Carter, who was
then in conversation with his nephew, and after
few minutes of parley with him in tone 40 low
that persons sitting close by could not hear, drew
pistol and shot him dead. The defense is insanity,
and near week has been occupied in hearing wit
nesses, and large number more remain to be ex-
amined. So far it has been proved that the prison
ers father was insane, and in that state wandered
off, and has never been heard of. Also, that his
fathers sister and three of her children died in all
insane hospital and that for months previous ~ the
kened insanity. In addition to this, he is proved
to be young man of unexceptionably good charac
ter. But the prosecution has thus far sought to
keep from the jury the motive which induced Smith
to Kill Carter This motive originated in horrible
catalogue of facts. Smith married young girl whom
Carter had volunteered to educate; but four
months after the marriage she became the mother of
fulgrown child, of which Carter, by her con-
fession was the father Smith is proved 10 have
been passionately attached to bis wife, and the dis
covcry of the deception she had practlced on him
broke him down and drove him crazy. In this con-
dtion of mind he found Carter in the common par
lor of one of our principal hotels Chestnut street.
and killed him. The whole case is most extraord-
nary and the trial is attended by an immense crowd
There sittle doubt but that Smith will be acquitted
Internationally. He is defended by David Paul
Brown, whOse success in such cases is well known

Ten miles Of city passenger railroad are now
ready, and the cars also, but they stopped from
running by INDUCTION until the Railroad Company
pays the Omnibus Company for their stages, horses,
