An Intelligent Goat.

TIE NesO- Orleans Irue Delta gives the
tho following account of child and suck
led by goat, after the example of Rom.
uius and Remus:
Up in the Fourth District, New.Or-
leans, lives a man, his infant child, and
matronely, well behaved nanny goat
The nanny is the hairy foster m other OF
the infant, which the fever, some tine
since, robbed of its parent proper. and
she entirely appreciates the peculiar du-
ties which have deyolved upon her,
When she hears the hungry cry of her
helpless little human charge, she is by its
side 10 an instant, placing her teats at the
service ofits thirsty lips. Frequently the
quick ears of the quadrupedal wet nurse
hear the cbild's cry when she is browsing
in the street at some distance from the
house, and leaving her own repast, she
darts hastily off to supply the wants Of
the "motherless BARN." dependent upon
her, as Romulus and Re mus were of old
upon the dugs of their wolfish protectress
We believe we have told tolerable
strange story above-but truth is stran.
ger than fiction.

Hard Times at the West.

The late com mercial revulsion laid its
hand heavily upon many of the cities and
towns of the West, where the credit sys-
TEN was expanded TO an enormous extent
and row nothing ia heard for them but
q terribly earnest cry of "hard times. -
The Boston Journal says =
The city of Chicago, which has been
the great head quarters of speculation at
the West and where store lots two years
ago were worth almost untold gold, feels
the reaction with great severity. Busi
ness is emphatically down to the "hard
pan" What trade there exists is limited
to the actual necessities of commerce ,and
the Improvements" which depend on
flush times are greatly retarded. The
price of labor, building materials and
produce of all kinds has fallen one hun
dred per cent in year and half. Real
estate is kept up by making no sales, ex
cept forced ones. Mortgages are not fore
closed by land agents. for the reason that
it would prove loss to the holder, as not
enough has been paid by the purchasers,
to make up the difference of depreciation
in value since the purchase vas made
to the present time. Hence it is for the
interest of the creditor to obtain another
payment on the land. The number Of
unoccupied stores and houses, already
counted by hundreds, is increasing daily.
At St. Paul, Minnesota, rents have de-
clinea twenty-five to Gfty per cent, while
real estate has, on an average, lost one
third of last years valuation. Outside
of the city, the decrease has been greater
Wages have partaken of the downward
tendency, and laborers, who last year OBJ
taiued 81 SO per day, arc this year forced
to be content with ninety cents. From
Iowa, too. there is general cry of hard
times. We hear of young men who have
gone from this section to the West du-
ring the last six mouths, to seek employ
ment, who came back with very different
notions of the resources of the West FROM
what they had when they started, and
purses sadly depleted.
These evidences of pecuniary suffering
at the West are By no means pleasant to
record. Not ouly are many of the suf-
!erers our old friends and neighbors, but
their misfortunes react upon us. We
trust, howevsr, that the rampant spirit of
speculation, which has been so rife 10
that section of the country of late years,
has received check which will lead the
people to adopt more cautious policy,
and coufne themselves more closely to le-
gitiniate operations.

Interesting Divosce Case.

The present session of the Supreme
Court at East Cambridge will probably
close with the case now on trial, which is
suit for divorce oD the ground of ILL
treatment, brought by Mrs. Ann Whitney
against her husband, Joseph Whitney of
Waltham. The parties are highly res
pectable, so far as the ordinary circum-
stances of life are concerned. Mrs. Whit
ney, with her two daughters. who have
grown up to woman's estate, and her son
a young man employed in this city. are
the witnesses who have thus far testified
Mrs. Whitney was the adopted daughter
of "Fsther Pickering" who was we'll
known Methodist preacher some years
since. For the plaintiff the counsel are
Me-srs George .. Shsttuck and Robert
R. Bishop; for the defence or respondent.
the Hon. B. T. Butler and Josiah Butler.
The testimony thus far is is TO the eff
feet that Mr.. Whitney, though a pleas
ant man out of doors, has not always
been so in his own home. 1t is testified
that on one occasion, when spoken to a.
bout getting some molasses by bis wife, be
threw the jug across the room and smash
ed it. On another occasion, bis wife said
that large pieoe OF salt pork was taint-
ed; be wished her to smell it, holding it
out to her, but she said she bad alresdy
done SO, and after some words, sho was
knocked down with the pork, and the ar
ticIe rubbed on her nose and face. And
in conclusion of list of incidents, it was
testified that be drove bis wife out Of bis
house two years ago, saying be could zoe
1--we With ber Since that time the wife
and children have been living in Maiden.
The daughters are employed by firm in
the city, and the son is in the Boston
Post Office. There arc number Of wit
nesses waiting for the defence which may
possibly give different aspect to the
case.-B0Ston TIagelZer.

Escaped the GalloWs.

The case of WichacL Cancenai, the Ital-
ian burglar, whose fourth trial has just
been brought to close at New York, is
one of the most re arkable criminal tri-
ais on record. The facts of the case are
that the prisoner broke into shop, ri.
fed the money drawer Of its contents,
vas upon his exit discovered by police
man, and, taking instantly to fight, was
pursued. He turned and deliberately y
shot his pursuer, who subsequently died
from the effects of his wound. The New
York Times recapitulates his several tri-
ais as follows:
Son bis first trial the jury were una
bic to agree on verdict, ten being in IA
vor of finding him guilty of murder and
two in favor Of his acquital. On the sec
ond trial be was found guilty of murder,
and the sentence was set aside by the
Court of Appeals, on the ground that the
Judge, in his charge to the jury, had ne.
elected to make any allusion to the plea
of previous good character. On the third
trial be was again found guilty of murder,
and the verdict was again set aside and a
new trial ordered by the Court of Ap-
peals, on the ground that bis conviction
was illegal, the verdict having been rem
dered By a jury consisting of but eleven
persons, though his counsel had consent
ed to such an arrangement. He is now
on his fourth trial, convicted of man
slaughter in the first degree, by a jury Of
twelve men, ten of whom, it is stated,
were in favor of bringing him in guilty
Of murder. Thus, our of the forty-s seven
jurors to whom bis case was submitted
forty-three, it appears, pronounced him
guilty of murder. Probably no IAN ev-
er had his mock in such close proximity
to the halter and escaped hanging. The
lowest punishment for the crime of which
be has now been found gully is ten years
imprisonment in the State Prison, while
the extreme penaly is imprisonment for
life.

The Mortara Case.
WISH MEETING IN MOZART HALL.

JEWISH MEETING IN MOZART HALL.
The general Indignation which the Nor
tara affair has excited in the minds of all
classes and crecds in thismommanity,
found enthusiastic expression In the mee-
ting of our Hebrew fellow citizens held
90 Saturday evening. In spite Of the ex-
treme inclemency Of the weather, the
large hall was densely packed with Jews
aud Christians-the number of the former
of course, largely prepoDderating nor
were the Catholics entirely unrepresent-
ed. There must have been very nearly
, 500 persons assembled. Mr.. Jonas
Phillips, ex-President of the Beard OF
Common Coupoilmen, was called to the
Chair, and the following preamble and
resolutions were read by Mr.. B. W. Hart.
I'VE copy part only from the New York
Times.
Whereas, The Inquisitiou has foroibly
abducted Edgar son of Momola Mortara
an Israelite residing at Bologna-un-
der pretext that be had been clandestine-
ly baptized, four years previously, when
about twelve months old, by female DO
mestio; and Notwithstanding the protest
and entreatics of his parents, he is still
detained from their guardianship, and
continues subjected to the discipline and
teachings of the Cateohumini. And
Whereas, This act though affecting on
ly an obscure family, has attracted the
attention of the world, by the apprehen-
sions it inspires of revival of the prac-
tices which disgraeed the dark ages; and
as it directly attacks that federation Of
differences of opinion and of faith, which
are the pride of an advanced civilization,
it has called forth the rebuke Of the hu.
name and enlightened of every creed, as
well as the remonstrances of the chief
Catholic and Protestant governments of
Europe.
Resoloed, That this meeting recalls,
with high satisfaction, the precedent af.
forded by the prompt and unsolicited ac.
ton of the Government of the United
States on the occasion of the persecution
of Dam ascus in the year ls40 Ap-
plause.
ResotUed, That these proceedings tie
transmitted to his Excellency the Presi-
dent; and that be be respectfully solicited
to inform the Government at Rome that
the act in question has excited deep
and unfaVoraple sensation iD the minds
of the emil ighten=d citizens of this Repub-
lic
Reso1ceR, That we hereby appeal to our
fellow-citiaens of every creed, as they val
ue the blessings of civil and religious i5-
erty, and desire peace and good will on
earth to man, to sid our efforts with their
sympathy and their actire influence.
ReSoiCed, That the thanks Of this NEE
ting are due to the public Press of Amer
lea and of Europe for its jealous advoca-
cy of the cause Of right, and for its reproof
of fanaticism and injustice.

From the Gold Regions.

Mr.. Samuel Grider handed US yester-
day letter which he had received from.
his son, E. r. Grider, on South Platte,
near Pixies Peak, dated October l9, 1858.
We will state that the letter was written
with lead pencil, and after much band
ling after it was received here, two or
three of the sentences bad become too IL
legible to be deciphered, which We must
perforce omit. Here is tue substance of
the letter:
The gold mining has improved since ]
last wrote to you. Twenty dollars have.
OF late, been taken out here to the man
in day with long toms. There is par
ty OF nen here that have, to man, av-
eraged $40 day for the last six weeks.
Every day men are arriving. Nine of US
have laid off town; some buildings have
been put up, and more will be put up this
winter. There is plenty Of good timber
in this region, and the land for farming
purposes is excellent in the fiat bottoms.
Six Of the men have Indian families. and
| think that more will have Indian wo
men before Spring. do not write you
favorable account of this country to in
duce any Of the boys to leave home to
come here, but | write you the naked
truth, and leave them to do as they please
You know that nobody persuaded me to
leave home aDd come out here. I came
here because wanted to go somewhere
and did not know where; but am here,
and | think | am in luck by being here
This is good farming country, and there
is plenty Of gold, and for these reasons it
is bound to be rich country. You can
find gold anywhere you may choose to
look for it. Old California miners say
that this is the richest country in the
world.-CdrrolZton Dem.
Two lines of stages are already ad.
vertised TO leave eastern Kansas for the
gold region. They commence running in
April, and will perform the journey in
less than two weeks.
