war board, composed of a commander in chief and
OF brgadier generals appointed Or to be appointed,

select for himself lieutenen colonel and two majors,
person for a brigadiergeneral, to be commissioned
and placed on the general staff The chief business
OF the colonies and their inferior officers appears to be-

of money.
The members are each to pay 81 initiation fee, and
also a weekly tax of 10 cents. A fund for the pur.
chase OF arms, ammunition and general outfit is to

A SHARP BARoNET.-A correspondent of the
National Inteligencer relates the following anecdote
of Sir A. L. H., English Baronet and distinguish
ed officer of the Royal Navy:
Sir A. L. Fl. was proceeding cityward in that rather
republican conveyance, public omnibus and as he
was a wellknown denizon of the " West End" he
may have been supposed to have been desirous to
preserve the incognito and to have been especially
willing to avoid any subject of notoriety. Sir A. had
nearly reached the city when young mother, hold
ing an infant in her arms, entered the vehicle and
took place beside him. The gallant Baronet and
the fair unknown soon found themselves alone. Sud-
denly the lady looked from the window, and her
cognition. Speaking hastily to the conductor, she
turned to Sir A. with request that he would hold
her child for minute, and Immediately vanished in
the direction of the supposed object of her pursuit.
Minutes fled apace, and the brave officer began to see
himself dupe But he was far too well initiated in
the insouciance" of man about town to betray by
solitary complaint to the conductor the nature
of the dilemma. The omnibus proceeded on its way,
and Sir A. danded his unwelcome charge with oil the
apparent gusto of a genuine pere de famile"
city omnibus does not ordinarily remain long with
but one passenger for its tenant. An elderly female
entered. The Bar0net carefully scanned her features
and coming to the conclusion that she bore in her
countenance unmistakabe signs OF benevolent dis
position, resolved to bide his time. The vehicle pull
ed up at the curbstone Sir A. strained his eyes to
see some imaginary acquaintance. pardon me,
madam, for one moment he exclaimed, as, with
bow, he tendery delivered to the lady his burden.
The gallant Baronet disappeard in his turn nor have
subsequently heard what became of the child thus
unceremoniously shifted twice in the course of o
morning drive to the city.

ARE THE WATERS OF THE GLOBE DECREASING p
NJ. Vincent claims that the waters of the globe are
gradually decreasing, founding his opinion on the
fact that vast deserts of sand mixed up with the salt
and remains of marine animals, of which the surface
seas, which have insensibly become dry According
to NJ. Vincent, the Caspian, the Dead Sea, etc., will
become dry in their turn also-when their beds will
be sandy deserts. And the inland seas whether they
have only one outlet, the Mediterranean, the Red
sea- the Baltic, etc., whether they have SEVERAL as
the gull Of Mexico, the seas Of O'Kotsk, of Japan,
China. ETC., will at some future time cease to com.
municate with the great basins of the ocean. They
will become inland seas true Caspians, and in due
time will become likewise dry. On all sides the
waters of rivers seen to carry forward in their
course the soil Of the continent. NJ. Vincent main
tains therefore, that there is actual diminuton Of

POISONING CASE ExPLoDED-Some time ago we
noticed singular case of alleged poisoning at Lon.
don, C. w. An old lady named Atkinson, of very
respectable family died rather suddenly, surrounded
by her family Of grownup children, several OF whom
are married. There was heavy insurance on her
life and some time after burial suspicion breathed
and circulated that she had been poisoned by those to
whom the insurance money was to fall The body
was exhumed and long examination followed, re-
sulting in verdict that deceased came to her death
by means of poison administered by Mrs. Gray, a
daughter or daughterin-law, we do not recollect
which, An officer proceeded to farm in the coun-
try where Mrs. Gray visiting with friends
arrested her and lodged her in Jail.
She became frantic, vehemehtly asserting her inno-
cence, and praying that she might be permitted to
destroy herself OF course, the sharp officers of the
law regarded these violent manifestations put forth
merely for effect il not conclusive evidence of guilt
Meantime, the stomach Of deceased was handed to o
chemist, Prof. Crofts, who has just made his report
The London Free Press Of the 9Th says
AS we expected, so it has turned out Professor
Crofts has thoroughly examined the stomach Of the
late Mrs Atkinson no poison was to be found. All
the chemical tests known to scientific chemists have
been applied, but not particle of anything in the
shape OF vegetable or mineral poison to be dis
covered. We suppose that the public mind will now
be set at rest and that the unhappy Mrs. Gray who
now lies in nosome jail, will be liberated on bail
till the grand jury shall formally discharge her. We
hear that an application will at once be made by her
Solicitor in the matter and doubt not will be i'm
