BISHOP M'ILvAINE expects to sad in the At
rica on the 2Ist, for Liverpool, intending as soon
as he can make certain personal arrangements
in England, to 60 to Switzerland, and rest and
reereate himself amidst the mountainous re-

NICE LEGAL PoINT.--A suit was brought,
Tuesday, before Mayor Carroll, by liquor mer-
chant of Pittsburgh, to enforce the payment Of
note given for liquors. The defence was that
the liquors were not inspected, as is required
by the law of this State, and that the consid-
Grafton for which the note was given being ille-
gal, the note was therefore void The defence
also proved that the contract was made in
Youngstown. The jury, under the direction Of
the court as to the law, brought in verdict of
no cause of action on the part of the plaintiff

From the PAinssyiIie Telegraph
Closing of the Lunaffc Asylum.


People who have friends at the Newburgh
Asylum will be panied TO hear that the Trus-
tees of that institution have decided in the
coming fall to suspend all operations for cou
pie of months, sending their patients home
for that period to their friends and counties
The cause of this action on the part Of the
Trustees is the fact that the Legislature, At its
late session. failed to make a sufficient sppro-
priation to carry the institution through the
wear. The announcement of this action on the
mart of the Trustees, and the cause for the same.
has led TO many enquiries to the action Of
the Legislature, and to a suspicion that the
members from the northern counties may have
been somewhat neglectful Of their duties to-
ward this Asylum.
The Newburgh Asylum, by all its previous
unfortunate mismanagement, with IFS heavy
debt of $4,000, illegally accumulated, found
itself in the presence OF the Legislature very
much in the condition of a criminal in the dock.
But the Chairman of the Committee on Beney
lent Institutions was a gentleman inclined to
Weld to mercy's side, and by the untiring and
watchiul efforts of the members from the Re
serve counties, the committee were induced to
forget the past and report for Newburgh 4 full
appropriation, both for her debts and for her
expenses the present year. Such was the final,
unanimous decision. How arises this lack Of
$4,000 / cannot guess. 1t must be the result
Of some accident ia the hurry OF the last nights
session, when the appropriation bill was on its
final passage. The members from the northern
counties l know did their whole duty toward
Newburgh, and the committee having in charge
the business intended an ample appropriation.
1t to be hoped that the Trustees will re-cOnsid
er their decision to close their halls; for though
it may be contrary to the statute to incur debt
Ia the management of these institutions, still
the cause OF the debt being an accident on the
part of the Legislature themselves, on re-as-
sembing their first act would be TO satisfactOri-
ly arrange the whole matter with the Trustees.
There can be no doubt of this. Il will be z sad
thing to scatter ali these lunatics through all
the northern counties, again, after two months,
to be gathered up and returned to Newburgh;
aud such proceeding should not be thought Of
for moment

PRoPHEcY.-Mr. D. Leibee--between whose
views and certain Scripture facts there are
many curious coincidences-proposes, within
three or four weeks, says the Union Democrat,
to address the citizens Of Sonora, on the follow
ing topics:
1. The Government of the United States is
the same kingdom the Prophet Daniel speaks
Of in the I'd chapter and AID verse of his Pro-
phecy.
2. 1t is the same kingdom which Christ told
the Jews should be taken from them and given
to nation bringing forth the fruits thereof
3. A new era in the history Of the world
will take place in this kingdom before the close
of Mr.. Buchanan's Presidential term. The
stone spoken of in the Prophecy of Zachariah,
chapter 3D., verse 9th, is typical Of the next
President of the United States; and forever
thereafter will God make his own Presidents
a. The kingdom of Great Britain will be
united to this Government before the close of
the year 1866; and before the year 20O0 the
whole world will belong to this kingdom.
g. Show from the Scriptures that the raising
of the island Of Australia, and this continent
out of the bed of the ocean produced Noah's
flood.

WHAT WILL GLASS OF WATER HoLD PIT
is generally thought that when vessel is full
of water any solid substance immersed in it
will cause il to overflow, and such will be the
case if the substance is lot disoluble in the
water but the 2hosophic truth that in dis
solving body you do iiot increase the volume
of the solvent, may be proved by a simple and
interesting experiment Saturate certain
quantity Of water at moderate heat, with
three ounces of sugar, and when it will no
longer receive that, there is room in it for two
ounces of salt of tartar, and after that for an
ounce and dram Of green vtriol, nearly six
drains of nitre, the same quantity Of sal am
moniac or smelling salt, two drains and scru-
pie Of alum and dram and half of borax ;
when all these are dissolved in it, it will not
have increased in volume.

The Indians and their Dead.

The Placerville Inder says: Nearly every
tribe of the aborigines Of America has some
distinguishing custom or trait Of character pc
culiar to itself, and entirely different from its
neighbors The Sioux bury, or rather hang
their dead, in the tops of trees, or place them
upon scaffolds raised six or eight feet above
ground. The Kaws build little pens of small
sticks in which they place the dead bodies, and
then cover them with earth The Root Dig
gers of California surpass all others in their
disgusting mode of sepulture They first take
the dear defunct Digger to some convenient
-chapparal thicket where there is plenty of dry
wood, and after building huge pile they place
the corpse together with his bows and arrows,
blanket, moccasins and other worldly chattes,
upon the heap. 1t then becomes the painfully
pleasing duty of the bereavcd widow to super.
intend the burning of the body. This she
does, keeping Up the while, the most piteous
wailing After the Digger is completely burnt
to charcoal the widow gathers the cinders
together and mixing them with grease or some
other abomination, forms sort Of black paste
with which she completely begrimes her face.
This horrible mask of filth is allowed to remain
upon her countenance until it wears off by the
action of the weather.

WHENCE STRYcHNINE is PRODUCED.
source from which this poison is obtained, is
thus noticed in Dickens Household Words.
In Ceylon, and several districts Of Inda
grows moderate sized tree, with thick shin
ing leaves, and short crooked stem. In the
fruit season it is readily recognized by its rich
orange-colored berries, about as large as gold
en- pippins. The rind is hard and smooth,
and covers white soft pulp, the favorite food
Of many kinds of birds, within which are the
fiat round seeds, and covered with very silky
hairs. The Germans fancy they can discover
a resemblance in them to gray eyes, and call
them "crown eyes," but the likeness is merely
imaginary This tree is the strychnine, 7aug
vomica, and the nut is deadly poison. The
latter was early used as medicine by the
Hindoos, and its nature and properties were
understood by Oriental doctors long before it
was known to foreign nations. Dog killer, y
and " fish SCALE" are two of its Arabic names.
1t is stated that, at present, the natives of
Hindostan often take it for many months, con-
tinuously, in much the same manner as opium
eaters cat opium. They commence by taking
the eighth Of nut day, and gradually in
crease their allowance to an entire nut, which
would be about twenty grains. If they eat
directly before or after food, no unpleasant
effect is produced; but if they neglect this
precautioD, spasms result.

A HoT JoKE-Soon after the close of the
American Revolution, a deputation Of Indian
chiefs, having some business to transact with
the Governor, were invited to dine with some
of the officials in Philadelphia During the
repast the eyes of young chief were attract
ed to caster of mustard, having in it spoon
ready for use. Tempted by its bright color,
he gently drew it towards him, and soon had
a brimming spoonful in his mouth. Instantly
detecting bis mistake, he nevertheless had the
fortitude to swallow it, although it brought
tears from bis eyes. A chief on the opposite
side of the table, who observed the conse-
quence, but not the cause, asked him "what
he was crying iora" He replied that he twas
thinking of his father, who was killed in bat
tle" Soon after, the questioner himself,
prompted by curiosity, made the same expert
ment, with the same result, and, in turn, was
asked, by the young sachcm, "what he was
crying forY" "Because you were not killed
when your father was" was the prompt reply.

CENTRAL AFRoA.-We make the following
extracts from the work of DR.. Barth, just is
sued from the Harpers. 1t gives good idea
of the extent of his travels
"After having traversed vast deserts of the
most barren SOIL and scenes of the most fright
full desolation, met with fertile lands, irrigat-
ed by large navigable rivers and extensive
central lakes, ornamented with the finest tim
Der, and producing various species of grain,
rice, sesamum, ground nuts, in unlimited
abundance, the sugar-cane, &C., together with
cotton and indigo the most valuable commodi-
ties Of trade. The whole of Central Africa,
from Bagermi to the east as far as Timbuctoo
to the west, abounds in these products The
natives of these regions, not only weave their
own cotton, but dye their homemade shirts
with indigo The river, the far-famed Niger,
which gives access to these regions by means
of its eastern branch, the Benuwe, which |
discovered, affords an interrupted navigable
sheet of water, for more than six hundred
miles into the very heart of the country. It's
western branch is obstructed by rapids, at the
distance of about three hundred and fifty miles
from the coast; but even at that point it is
probably not impossible in the present state Of
navigation, while up the river opens an i'm
mense high road for nearly one thousand miles
into the very heart of Western Africa, so rich
in every kind Of produce"

WHICH OF THESE ARE You There are some
men whose iron wills, joined to iron bodily
frames, almost defy the diseases that originate
in the mind men who will not suffer them
selves to feel, who charge themselves with
nothing but the object they have in view, and
can isolate themselves from all other sympa
thies. Such men are often the most success
full They are best provided for the wear and
tear Of life, and survive to triumph when 9th
ers are wasted to death. Let them have the
advantage of their organization, the best for
their purpose, yet certainly not the highest in
human nature. There are others who, con-
scous that they may be spent, yet fling them
selves unsparngly to the work before them
are borne through it by the devoted energy
that first incites them; and then, having cal
,culated nothing for themselves in their fiorts,
when pause comes, sink, the wreck Of body
or of mind, or of both, refusing TO uphold them
longer.

A PECULIAR Sort OF WITNEss-A Shasta
Notary, taking testimony of witness in a
case lately, says the Trinity Journal, found
the person wonderfully uncommunicative. He
didn't know whom he voted for, or where he
was born, or whether he was born at ALL All
he could say, positively, was that he had a
mother, and that she instructed him to tell the
truth. In his report Of testimony to Court
in this county, the Notary got aggravated and
added:
"And further certify that this man is the
most ignorant id fool of witness that
have ever had anything to do with, in any
court of justice, in the whole course of my
life. In testimony whereof have hereunto
affixed the seal of my Office"
And so the document is recorded.
