fT Nine-Pin Alleys, when used solely for health and recreation, afford very harmless amusement, and the Legislature in 1S4l passed act by which the selectmen of any town in the State may au- thorise such alleys to be kept at any place in their respective towns; and it is made the duty of the Selectmen to revoke the liberty given by them, whenever any alley shall be used contrary to the intent of the act authorizing them. Any person who shall keep an alley without permission of the Selectmen, is subject to fine of not exceeding fifty dollars nor less than dollars-one half of the penalty recovered to go to the complainant. This is wholesome provision for the temptation to use these alleys for other purposes than mre aion is so strong, that the owners should feel the
 importance of conforming strictly to the letter oi the law.

HUNGARY.-Letters from Hungary state that dis content and disaffection increasing daily among the people, and serious disturbances will occui less some concessions are made.

THE BATTLE OF MosTEBELLo IN JuNE 1SO0.-It is interesting to mark the similarity, doubtless in great part intentional, between the opening of the Italian campaign by Napoleon in 1900. and by Louis NapoIeon in 1850 The following is account of the first battle of Montebcllo from Abbotts Life of Napoleon:
 The following laconic and characteristic order was i,s,,cd By tine First Consul to Llnnes and Miirat:
 nGather vour forces at the River Stradella. On the 9th or 9th at tue latest you will have on your hands l5 or Is, 000 Anstsi,ns. Meet them aud cut tilcln lo pieces 1t will be 50 many enemies less upon ou hands tue day of lhe decisive ba' tic we are to expect with the entire amy of Mslus.
 Tine prediction was tue. An Austrian force ad sy,.,;cci Is 600 strong. Llnn,.s met them on the ficil of Monteello. They were strongly posed- with batteries ralgel on the hill sides which swept tine whole p,iu It was of the utmost importance th,s tiiis body should be prevented from combining with the other vast forces of the Aust ri.sns. Lannes had but {, ,0GO men. Could he sustain the unequal contiic for few hours, Victor, who was some miles in the rear could come up with the reserve "f ooo men. The French soldiers, fully conscious oi tue 0 s against which they were to contend, and ni the carnage ilto the midst of which they were pl'ing ing, with shouts of enthusiasm rushed upon their fe Ias,itt;,ii cu,lsy storm O. grape Slot rom all the b,te es swept through his ranks Sa d lfstnes co4d hsr tie Jones crasa my dtraan hae gtass (sG ha s yqm.
 For nine long hours f.om eleven in the morning till eight at night. the horrid carnage continued Again and again the laangcd, bleeding wasted rol- umils w.re rallied to the chafge. At last, when 3O)0 Frencmyn were strewn dead upon the gro'iiid the A,strials broke anl ed. eaving also 1000 mu- tilated corpse< and COCO prisoners behind them. Napoleon, ha,tenag to the aid of his lieutenant ar rived upon the iicld just in time to see the battle won. He rfdc np to Lannes. The intrepid soldier stood i,l the midst of mounds of the dead. hlsswod dripping with blood in his exhausted hand his lace l,Iackenel with powder and smoke, and his uniform soiled and tatteed by the long and terrific srl.e Napoleon silently but proudly sni:led upon the he role General, and forgot not his reward From iils battle Lsnney received the title of Duke of Monte beilo title by which the family is distnslishcd to the present day.
