About one-Ialf of tho Neapolitan cxiics have left
England for Piedmont. to take their part with

LIABILITIES OF HOTEL KEEPERs.-The
Court of Appeals of Maryland, has re-
Gently given decision in the case of
John r. Giles, VS.. Bruce Fauntleroy, the
facts of which were as follows:
A guest at hotel paid his bill at twelve
o'clock, which payment entitled him to
the use of his room for the entire day; he
then informed the clerk he intended
leaving, and requested the latter to send
his trunk at four O'Clock on the same day,
to particular steamer, and left with him
money for the porterage fee; the clerk
undertook to do this. and delivered the
trunk to the porter usually employed for
such purposes, with directions to carry it
to the steamer named by the guest and
paid the porter his fee.
The court in this case decided that the
proprietor of the hotel was responsible for
the loss which resulted, from the fact
that through the negligence or mistake OF
the clerk or porter, the trunk was taken
to the office of the wrong steamer, and
there broken open and its contents stolen;
also, that an innkeeper is responsible for
the baggage of his guest but a Colts re-

The Tribulations of Lone Woman.

Alone woman--a very lone woman
thus details in the Boston Herald the
"vexatious impcrtinences from the rude
and misbehaved of the other sex," tc
which "a lone woman" is subjected in the
"Athens of America"
And the first of all--and the most an
noying of all, perhaps-is the wretched
nuisance we endure from the staring BIZ
ped, whose impudence in the efforts he
makes to look us out of countenance, is
so indiscribably vexatious, and yet of that
nature withal, that it must, of necessity
''go unwhipt of justice" for one can
hardly turn to the policeman for aid in
such an emergency, be he ever so cour
teous and obliging an official, he would
give us, no doubt, the old proverb, "A
cat may look upon King and might
add, "a cur, madam, may look, too, upon
a Ladyw
But, for all that, the impertinence o
these graceless fellows is becoming, daily
more and more intolcrable, and oul

Cause of Sudden Death.

Dr. Hall, in his journal of Health" !"
says that very few of the sudden deaths
which are said to araise from disease of
the heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, the doctor says the experiment
has been tried in Europe and reported to
a scientific congress held at Strasburg-
Sixty-six cases of sudden deaths were
made the subjects Of thorough post
mortem examination. In these cases
only two were found who died from dig
ease of the heart. Nine out of sixty-six
died from apoplexy, while there were
forty-six cases of congestion of the lungs !;
that is, the lungs were so full of blood
that they could not work, there not being
room enough fer a sufficient quantity of
air to enter to- support life. The doctor
goes on to enumerate the causes that ssfaS
produce congestion of the lungs. They
ore: cold feet, tight shoes, tight clothing,
costiveness, sitting still until chilled
through after being warmed by labor or
rapid walk, gong too suddenly from a
close heated room into the cold air, es-
pecially after speaking, and sudden de-
pressing news operating on the blood
These causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance of them may serve
to lengthen out valuable lives which
would otherwise be lost under the verdict
of a heart complaint. That disease is
supposed to be incurable, and hence men
may now take the pains they would to
avoid sudden death if they knew it lay
in their power.

NORTH CAROLINA DRIED FRUIr.-A cor
respondent writes the Fayetteville Obser-
yer as follows: "From the LIST of July
up to the 18th of September, there was
sent off 277,S79 pounds of dried fruit
500 pounds of this quantity was sent to
Indiana. About S4OO worth of dried
blackberries have been sent to one man"
The correspondent suggests that dried
persimmons might be made a profitable
article of trade, as they command high
price. They are as plentiful as weeds in
that State. ''i ''-H'

b. GAMBLING. IN WAsHINGroN.--The Wash
;ooto, Stotas of Friday savs.

y. GAMBLING, IN WAsHINGroN.-The WASH
ington States, of Friday, says:
Washington is now as notorious for its
gambling establishments as any other
city on the face of the earth. In no city
of the United States are gambling estab-
'lishments so public as they are here, or
gamblers so numerous. They throng the
sidewalks, in some parts of our city, in
crowds, vet who ever has been known to-
intefere with these gentryf Our police,
instead of airesting these fellows as va
grants, associate with them; and this will
be continued, until our citizens, some
day or other; take matters into their own
hands, or elect municipal officers who
will have the nerve to discharge their du-
ty faithfully, by exterminating every
gambling den in city. Our columns in
the nsnt canvass for Mayor will be hos
tileto any man who viii not pledge him

TIE PULPIT AND THE MAssEs.-The New
York Christian Intelligencer asks if the
pulpit of this day reaches the masses of
the people, and fears it does not We
quote:
Upon luxurious couclIes, surrounded
by gliding and carvery, on pleasant
Sunday, when not too hot or cold, too
wet or dry, gaily dressed multitude lis
ten sleepily first to soft music behind
them, and then to the musical voice be-
fore them; and when the hour-and-a-half
is spent, the rustling silks move out to
the sound of the organ, and the pulpit
remains cold, unmeaning piece of
mummery. Outside, the multitude rush
by unheedng and unheeded. There is
no pulpit for them. Vice and misery, in
ten thousand forms, are rioting, and sti-
fling, and destroying; cruelty and oppres-
sion are rampant amidst our churches,
and the groans of the victims mingle
with the church bells. Does the pulpit
reach the masses? That is something for
us to answer at Christmas--for if it does
not, the masses will reach and overturn
the pulpit. ....-.

SwITzERLAND.-A recent traveller in
Switzerland says of farms and farming in
that country, that no good terraced land
can be had there for less than $4,000 to
$1,000 per acre, and the quantity of such
land is one per aent, of the entire terri
tory. No man owns more than ten to
fifteen acres of such ground. In that
country investments are made for secu-
rity rather than profit, and 2! per cent.
is usually satisfactory.
