DAMAGEs-In the case of Mahlon Bell VS.. P,
Fl, w. and g. Railroad Company, tried in the
District Court of Philadelphia, last week, the
jury found verdict for Plaintiff for l,40O. 1t
was an action to recover damages fur injuries
sustained by plaintiff while in railroad car
belonging to the defendants. The plaintiff
bought ticket for passage over the road, and
when about two miles from Alliance station, the
train in which he was and another train came
In collision, by which the plaintiff was severely
injured. It appeared by the testimony that the
train was running at an unusual speed.
A correspon lent of the Boston Journal says
that some of the young men engaged at tie

James Mounts and Herman Levi, confined in
the Washington Co., Pa, jail-the former on
charge of larceny, and the latter as one of the
parties who broke into store in that town,
were not by any means satisfied with the pro-
bable result of their forthcoming trial Think
ing that Jail bird out on the roads, was worth
a couple of the same sort in a court of justice,
they made an attempt to take n hnsty leave by
: boring through the wall, and breaking the locks
of the cell doors in which their two distinguish.
ed carcasses were respectively confined. The
probabilities are that they had help from the
the world without But it was all of no avail;
and James and Herman are still in durance vile.

As RARE specimen of logic as we have read
for some time is contained in the argus of last
night 1t copies an account of the bloody rem.
contre between Capt Moore, of this city, aud
another passenger, on the Cleveland and Pitts
Surgh cars, prefaeing it with this remark:
''When We first ascertained that it had been
determined upon by tho managers of the Cir
cImbendibus road to increase the rate of speed
run by the cars on the road, we predicted no
good would come of it"
Well, what WINS the effect of the increased
SPEEDY Mark it, for here it is:
Capt Moore of this city, was occupying
seat by himself when farmer, living in the
vicinity of Sloan's Station, came up and either
tread upon or kicked his leg, probably uninten-
Eonally. Mr. Moore raised up and made some
offensive remark, to which the other replied in
the same tone. A cross firing of words contin-
nsd until the farmer, in answer to some epithet.
struck Moore, when the latter drew pistol and
fred twice at his assailant. lodging two balls in
his thigh.
The intelligent reader will, of course, not fail
to see the intimate connection between al in.
creased rate of speed, and farmer treadins on
Capt MOOres toes, and thereby kicking up a
fight, and thereby getting shot a PRIOR
ratiocination involved in this comment Of the
Aryus, constitutes logical gem that, by all
odds, sorpasses the syllogis,n whereby An au,.

We had repetition, this morning, Of the
"gand. electrical, changing colors" Of Sunday
night last II surpassed the former, however,
In beauty, brilliancy, grandeur and majesty.
We were suddenly aroused by one Of our fAmi
ly at sbout half past 9 o'clock, by ths alarm
that "ths housemust 5e on fire" Such was our
first impression At the moment Of waking; but
we soon ascertainsd that the light entered at
the windows, instead Of the door Of an adioin-
ing room, and our attention was At once directs
cd 70 the heavens, The scene before us exceed
ed any thing we had ever before seen, and our
senses were held as it were between feeling Of
intense admiration, and reversntial avel From
our position We had view Of the greater pOr
ton Of the heavens. The centre Of electrical
changing seemed to be the appex Of the globe;
aud sheets Of light, softly tinted with the
haloes Of the rainbow, darted from the centre
to every point Of the horizon, changing each
instant, Ss with electrical Gast, tint gave place
to tint, hue to hue, fash TO fash, brilliapcy 10
btilliancy, and the ETHEREAL dome presented the
appearance Of an illimitsble concave, Of super
natural pyrotschnic grandeur, which Il would
be impossible for the human mind to fully drink
m, or the pencil describe; 90 fiful were the
changes, and so overpowering the effect pros
duced by the awe inspiring seene Then again'
the soft colors would instantly give place to the
lurid hues Of the evening thunder cloud, and
streams of dark crimson, not unlike the dense
flames which issue from burning building in
the gloom Of night, would shoot out from the cen.
tire Of the dome TO every point Of the verge; and
they were as suddenly succeeded by varying
rays Of soft. ctherial light, SO transparent that
the atmosphere seemed to be a part Of them,
and SO transmutable that before we could anna.
lyze thought, astonishment at the sudden mesa
Of the translucent phenomena bewildered us;
pleasing confusion everspread the reasoning
faculties, and the mind wandered from one ex-
tatic beauty TO another in excess Of admiration,
until all was a chaos of heavenly delights
While We were lost in the scene we have re-
ferred to, the entire dome, IN the twinkling Of
an eye, assumed the color Of the brightest
crimson Above, and all around, for an instant
the whole atmosphere seemed in blaze Of Grim
son from pole 10 pole, and 80 strong was the il
lusion, that we fancied difficulty in bresthing
flannel This grand demonstration seemed to
have exhausted the phenomena, for although
the electrical cOiOring continued its fantasies,
they grew more aud more indstinct, and soon
the phenomena faded away.
Weare not philosopher; are not an astrolo
ger, and we will not pretend TO account for the
phenomena we witnessed last night. Nor will
we assume to speak learnedly about what they
pOrtendi for We know nothing about it. The
doctors disagree as to these heavenly fantasies;
and who will decide between them3 We do
not believe they are what has been familiarly
termed, "time out of mind" the Northern
Lights" We will rest by calling them "The
Heavenly Lights"

that prince Of little comedians, George Marsh

treat. The Chinese dance was novel af-
fair, and "took" with the audience The
closing piece, Rendezvous" was put up in
