A siclies Case az Chicago-aiI but the
sEsH H0un aes,ae ssa


The good people OF Chicago have recently
been revelling 10 suit for damages in The Su-
perior Court Of that place, wherein Benjamin
Z. Thompson is plaintiff aud Nelson NJ. Durham
defendant. IL Is an action to recover $4,000,
loss alledged TO have been sustained by the for
mer, ON account of the abduction aud aduliera-
tiOn of his wife by the latter. In the language
OF the counsel who "opened" for the plaintiff,
1t is . case OF no common character aud no
common Interest,"" Ii is a Sickles case, with
different remedy--said remedy being the Ter e.
viis iusead of the lsz tdiionis The plaintiff was
married to his wife about four years ago, in
New York. She is an only daughter, aud was
described by QUE of the witnesses as tall and
handsome, With brunette complexion, dark
hair and eyes--a woman who would attract NJ
tention anywhere in the street. A description
OF her husband completed the antithesis He
stout aud ugly. with bilious complexion stub
by hair aud grey eyes--a man who would not
attract attention anywhere ON the street. Like
Mrs. SlckIes, the wife OF Thompson was married
at tender age, her present years being twenty
three. She was doubtless spoild child, one Of
those angelic unnecessary creatures with whom
marriage only serves 10 complete the work Of
destruction begun by absurd mammas. 0n
their marriage Thompson presented Mrs. 7.
with diamond ring aud gold watch set with
uiAmohoS. NeAt uAy, Wue, JeWels anu Inomp-
sou started for New Orleans, where they re.
mained q year, aud then went to Chicago. II
was here that the wife of Thompson was hrsi
thrown into the society Of the Hyperian-like
Durham. whose "style" seems TO have awaken
cd her to an unhappy sence Of the mistake the
had made in marrying . man who was not 20
handsome rs her new adorer. The potent spell
OF Duuham's killing eyes soon made sad havoc
with her domestic felicity, which grew no bet
ter fast, and she at length ran away, leaving a
note exonerating Dunham from blame aud like
Mrs. Sckles, taking all the blame upon herself
Thompson was persuaded by his fiieuds not to
shoot Durham, aud went to law, thus obtaining
some no,Oresy for himself aud affording an in
teresting item of scandal for fastidious public.
On behalf Of the public, the newspapers are
much obliged 10 him, though the item would
be still more interesting If he had shot the de.
siroyer of bis happiness eighty. The trial Of
the sui! for damages is still progressing.

THE rIRsT BATTLE.


By the overland mail, we have dates from
Liverpool to May 25sb. The following intel
ligence was teIegraphed from St. Johns, New
foundland Tt
The allied and Austrian forces have met and
the latter been defeated. The battle took place
at Monticello, a Town in Austrian Italy. on the
2lst of May. The Austrians were Is, 1000 strong
and made the attack. and after q severe en-
gagemcnt, were obliged TO retreat. The allied
army lost 100, while the Austrian loss 10 esli-
mated at 1000. t,n
Two hundred Austrians had been captured
and taken prisoners to Marseilrs. The Aus
trians, who we're commanded by Gen. Stadion,
attacked the posts Of Gen. Baraguay d'IIlliers,
They were driven back hy Gen. Forey's divis-
ion after furious combat. which lasted hours,
The allies carried Monticello, but did not pur.
sue the Austrians. f -. ,t
The Austrians were $4,000 strong, and lost
1000 men. The allies lost 700, among whom
were many officers.
| The Austrian accounts Of the battle differ
widely from the above. The actual force of the
French Is rot stated. but IL Is reported that it
numbered 5000 men, besides regiment Of
Sandman cavalry. g ,-trrn1
A bulletin issued by the sardInian Govern.
ment announces that the extreme left Of the
Sardinian army under Gen. Baldini, had forced
passage over the river Sesia, putting the Aus
trians 10 flight
Gen. Garbaldi had entered Pavia with 5000
men, for revolutionary purpose.
II was rumored that six Euglish men.of-war
had entered the Adriatic Sea.

of James Buchanan. Now the two things are
90 positively irreconcilable that it 10 evident
no party can honestly entertain both ct once.
Either James Buchanans Administration has

chanan Ia TO repudiate all sovereignty 10 the
people Of q Territory and to repudiate ell SOW

TO declare that Mr.. Buchanan's Administration
has been anti Democratic. Here is direct d.

Intel,uence and yyenl,h.

The following. on Intelligence aud wealth, is
from the Philadelphia Cdnmereial List; 1--WE
suppose that no body will dispute The PROPOSE
ton, that the chief strength Of country lies
in the intelligence Of its people. A single city,
in which the arts flourish, aud the cultivation
of intellect has attained high standard. will
often prove superior 10 an immense empire
where the inhabitants remain ignorant and
barbarous-Tyre and Athens are notable in
stances Of the power of intelligence when deyo.
ted to conquest and dominion. Compare tho
New England States Of this confederaey with
Mexico. The latter has every natural advan.
tage. But any single State of New England
can exercise more influence upon the affairs OF
the world than the extensive republic of the
Aztecs Educate the mind OF u people, and
though yon place them In the desert of Sahara,
they will find sources Of wealth In its very
sands. We need scarcely dwell upon the pow
er of intellect in developing the resources Of
country, because we behold the results on every
side. But while this is admitted TO be the case,
we observe that In some sections Of the Union
there is neglect TO improve the knowledge
thus gained. II intelligence be q source OF
wealth, It is the duty Of those In authority TO
bring within the reach Of all the means of oh
tanning this true divnng-rod that points where
treasures are concealed. The thorough edncas
ton Of the workman in any particular branch
Of trade. lays the sure foundation Of bis for.
tune and In proportion as bis skill increases,
the country rises In the scale OF wealth, repu.
tstion and influence. Skilled labor Is the basis
of English dominion. Scientific culture will
60 still farther, and develope the riches Of
nation so Us to secure IN undoubted supremacy.
A farmer who 10 thoroughly acquainted with
the nature and capabilities Of soil will make
more out Of ten acres than Others who pursue
the old track and remain In ignorance, can
bring out Of Hfty. Edueate-educatel Cul-
tivale the mind Of the nation, aud it, stores
Of wealth will multiply beyond oil present an-
tieipation.

THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH OF MAS.-The Bos
ton Tfanscript OF a recent date gives the follow
ing curious particulars
DIR. George b. Windrhp, Of Roxbury. has
prepared lecture on Physical Education,
which be will soon deliver. He has for several
years given much attention 10 the subject. and
10 practically q ialded as few men are, to speak
on il. He ia tweuty- five years Of age, fve feet
seven inches In height, and weighs l43 pounds.
In proportion to his weight he is believed by
many persons who have examined into the
question, to be the strongest man ever known.
He can raise barrel Of flour from the floor on
To his shoulder; can raise himself with either
little finger, ill bis chin Is half o foot above
IL can raise 200 pounds with either little nn-
ger can put up dumb bell Of l4l pounds
exercises daily with two dumb bells weighing
100 pounds each, which be can raise alternate
iy above his head can lift With the hands 926
pounds dead weight. without the ssd OF straps
or belts OF any kind. Topbam, the strong man
of England, could rsise only eight hundred
pounds in the same way and the celebrated
Belgian giant could lift only 300. With straps
it Is supposed that person could lin nearly
four times as much as by his hands alone. II
this is correct, Dr. Windship can lift at least,
$500 pounds. DR.. Windsbip Is thorough
gymnast aud when he graduated at Cam
bridge five years ago, he was without Q com
petitOr. II is his theory that almost any able
bodied man can by right system Of exercise.
not only greatly augment his strength, but add
materially 10 his physical health. He will IL
lustrate bis lecture BY some remarkable exhibi-
tione of strength.

GREAT HEAT IN STINisLAUs CoUHTY.-A gen
tleman from Stanislaus county informs US that
on Thursday, June 23d, the heat between the
Stanislaus aud Tuolumne rivers was excessive
The thermometer was liz degrees In the shade
The wind was avoided. a. it was heated so that
il felt as If actually burning the flesh, as II
rushing from bo. oven. In one team Of ten
horres three fell in the road from heat Two

oil in his throat The animals throat was
closed so that it could not drink, when the oil
was used TO soften the throat and open II so
that il could swallow water, when 1t recovered.
The two that died expired before such aid could
be used with them. At Burton's public house,
At Loving's Ferry, birds Few into the bar-room

made by the thirst caused by extreme heat.
Birds were seen to fall dead off the limbs of

s,rocco AZ Santa narbara.

The Santa Barbara Gazette has she following
account Ofa remarkable phenomenon which
occurred at that place on the 18th Of June;
Friday last, the lTth instant. will be long re-
membered by the Inhabitants Of Santa Barbara
from the burning blasting heat experienced
that day, aud the effects thereof; Indeed it is
said that for the space of thirty years nothing
in comparison has been felt in this county. and
We doubt if in any other. The sun rose like a
ball Of fire on that day bnt though quite warm
no Inconvenience was caused thereby until 2
o'clock, r, NJ, when suddenly blast OF heated
air swept through our streets, followed quickly
by others, and shortly afterward the atmos
phere became so intensely heated that no hu.
man beiug could withstand its force all sought
their dwellings. aud had to shut doors and win
dows, and remain for hours confined TO their
dwellings. The effect of such intense and un-
paralleled heat was demonstrated by the death
Of calves. rabbits, birds etc. the trees were all
blasted, and the fruit, such as pears and apples
literally roasted on the trees ere they .ell to
the ground, and the same as II they had been
cast on live Goals but strange to cay, they
were only burned on one eide--tbat is the di-
rection from whence came the heat. All kinds
OF metal became so heated that for four hours
nothing Of the kind could be touched with the
naked hands. The thermometer rose nearly 10
fever heat in the shade, but near an open door
and during the prevalence ofthis properly call
ed sirocco. the streets were filled with impene-
trable clouds OF fine dust or pulverized clay.
Speculation has been rife since TO ascertain the
cause Of such terrible phenomenon, but
though we have heard of many plausible theo-
ries thereon, we have not been fully convinced
yet; however that might be, we see its terrible
effects oil around us in blighted trees, ruined
