 This is work which, ii we mistake not is dcs. tined to command almost universal attention, and awaken everywhere deeper interest in the physical improvement of the race than has yet been mani tested as it shows how certain and easy this m- rroyement may be made by the use of the perfectly legitimate means therein pointed out. Its revela- tons of the laws of -confguration, on which symmetry and beauty depend, are not less interest ing and important than they novel and surpris- ing showing, as they do. that the form and f.a- lures of even the mature man or woman land much more those of the chilD may be modified at will, and to an almost unlimited extent-that we have the power to change gradually but surely the shape an arrangement of bone, fibre, and fuid thus grow ing. day by day. more beautiful or more ugly ac- cording to the direction given to the vital forces

Government tral n has b.en ;attacked by the starving emigrnnts who are returning from Pike's Peak across the Plains it's conductor has been kill ed, and the newly appointed postm of one of the two embryo cities near the mines has been hung This is probably only of the ortrages to which desperation has driven, will drive. the poor vic tnls of the gold mania. From letters which we publish, it appears that the emigrants exposed to trickerv and privation their way to this new Dorado; that they find that the cities on its bor der mere collections of log huts that prcvis-
 ions scarce, and that the protluctveness of the mines is at least questionable. Some, disheartened by the reports which reach them, turn back before they see the promised land; others arrive only 10 starve; others manage to make the two ends of the day meet for a few weeks by the proceeds of their labor; others still, seeing what the end is to be, make the best of their way home through more or less serious difficulties Of this latter class, some, but we hope not many. appear to have been maldened by disappointment and hunger. In this state of facts we can hardly understand how it is that emigration still continues. The tide has slack ened but still there is some flow of travel towards Pike's Peak men who have made up their minds to go and have completed their preparations dislike to give up a cherished project, and the sangune will hore. But whether not there be gold enough to pay for the labor of mining-on which question the smallness of the quantity that has reached civ ilized reelvn throws light-it is certain that in the preset state of things at PIkes Peak 1t is worse than oiy u go thither.-ziibune.

FMPoRTANr RAILROAD DECISION. is the custem of most railroad companies to have printed their tickets the words ' Good for this trip and train only"; and on the New York roads where there has been much competition for through travel, and a desire to accommodate travellers with the privilege of stepping on the line of the road for few d,ys, the tickets have had on them "Good for three days, "Good for six days. Sc. As the through fare on these roads has been psopertionally much less than the way faHe way passengers have been in the habit of paying through, and taking through tickets with the expectation of using selling them as they might elect. In December, 1857, Mr. J H. Hetchkin, residing near Bath, Steuben County, who understands how to save penny well as any man know of, paid his fare at the Erie railroad office in New York through to Rochester, and took tick et in the usual form except that there priEted date'. He rode at that time as far as Bath on the 2lst of January following he took seat for Rochester. and when the conductor came through the cars, he sofered the ticket procured in New York in Deccm- ber The conductor declined toasceive or recognizs it on the ground that more toa sz days had ezpied rsince the dats of the tacke and demanded fare, which being refused by Hotchkin, the latter was forcibly spu out of the cars for which an action brought against the conductor The case was referred to Washington Barnes, Esq one of the ablest lawyers
 in the State, who rcportedin favor of Hotchkin and assessed the damages at S150. The railroad compa- my the referee said, had contracted to carry the plaintiff from New York to Rochester without limi- tation as to time. The ticket evidence of payment of fare, but part of the contract. Both the plaintiff and referee in this case are intelligent
 men, who are not apt to be mistaken and yet we not quite the decision would stand in the higher courts of New York. We cannot doubt that Mir Hotehkin understood when he paid through fare and took through ticket that he had con. rtracted witb the railroad company to carry him tc Rochester condition that he went within six days and not otherwise.
