MURDER WILL OUT.-The following sim
gular circumstance as related in a German
Journal Is worthy of serving as pendant to that
OF the famous dog of MOntargis A wealthy
tanner, named krutz, residing in the neighbor-
hood OF SIM, in the Archduchy of Austria.
was in the habit of making journeys several
times year to sell his goods and enter into
contracts for supplies Of different kinds These
rounds generally occupied him about ten DAYS
or fortnight. On the morning OF the 18th of
October last he started as usual, but in the
same night his wife and son were surprised at
hearing his cabriolet come up to the door, and
their surprise was changed into horror on
finding in the vehicle the lifeless body of the
tanner, weltering in his blood. The horse
finding himself at liberty, had returned home
The authorities made inquiries, but without
leading to the discovery OF the murderer. The
tanner had with him large and powerful dog
but as the animal was fastened under the cab
rlolet he could not render any assistance to his
master. After the death of the tanner, his
son, young man about twenty-five years of
age, took on himself the management of the
business, and, like his father, made the usual
journeys.
About fortnight ago, in passing near
roadside public house, at the door of which
the landlord was sitting smoking his pipe, the
p"iiS Jug WHICH Hdu Deen Ill tne haDlt OF ac-
companying the father, and which was running
along quietly by the side of the vehicle, began
to bark in the most furious manner and rush
ed toward the house, The man, seeing its an.
proach ran in and closed the door, while the
dog kept bowling and barking most violently.
~ suspicion Immediately entered the mind of
the young man, but instead of showing what
he felt by any movement which might have
been observed by the inmates of the house, he
fastened the dog beneath the cabriolet, and
driving to the nearest town, gave information
to the authorities. Some police officers were
Immediately sent to the house, and in it were
founl the empty money, bag of the tanner, his
watch and his pocketbook. The landlord and
his wife were arrested, and will be tried for
the Galgndm.

CARVING AT DINNER.-This extract from
the recently published volume entitled "Din-
ner, Breakfast and Tea" furnishes some inte-
resting facts touching the most laborous ac-
complishment, carving and how burdensome
it was in olden time
Carving was ancienty taught as an art, and
it was performed to the sound of the music
In later times, we read in the life eff Lady Ma
ry w. Montague, that her father, the Duke of
Remington, "having no wife to do the honors
of his table at Thoresby, imposed that task
upon his eldest daughter, as soon as she had
bodily strength for the office, which, in these
days, required no small share for the mis-
tress of a country mansion was not only to
invite-tlat is, to urge and and teaze her COM
pany to eat more than human Threats could
conveniently swallow,-but to carve every
dish when chosen, with her own hands. The
greater the lady the more indispensable the
duty. Each joint was carved up in its turn,
to be operated on by her, and her alone, since
the peers and knights on either hand were so
far from being bound to offer their assistance
that the very master of the house, posted op-
poste to her, might not act as her croupier ;
his department was to push the bottle after

most inconsiderable among them, it suffered
through her neglect to help himsefto slice of
the mutton placed before him, would have shew-
ed it in bitterness, and gone home an afffonted
man. There were at this time protested cary.
ing masters, who taught young ladies the art

took lessons three times a week, that she
might be perfect on her fathers public days

without interruption, she was forced to eat her
own dinner alone, an hour or two beforehand

Tom CoRwIN AND THE BULL TERRIER
While Mr.. Corwin was addressing a large
meeting at Springfield, Ohio, not long since,
and was soaring into the higher regions of 20,
litical eloluence, a black, middle sized, and
morose looking bull terrier mounted the plat
form, and taking his place beside the speaker,
surveyed the assembled sovereigns with Sc
we're countenance and melancholy wag of
his caudal stump. His debut was greeted with
roars of laughter, and Tom Corwn paused in
the middle Of a sentence. Turning toward the
intruding animal, he waved his hand courte-
ously, saying, Come one at time, if you
please" The terrier retired few PAGES, and
glanced quizzicaly at the speaker, when Cor
win advanced to the edge of the stand, and
said to the people, in a very confidential tone,
IL do believe he intends to leave the other
dogs, and join the Republican party' This
palpable hit was received with a tempest of
laughter and applause, in the midst of which
his dogship trotted out of the hall, with his
tail at an angle of intense disgust.

REPORTERS IN HEAvEN.-Elder Middemas,

his ideas of Heaven in recent sermon at Salt
Lake City, concludes thus

ly miniature of Heaven. | believe they
have printing office in Heaven, and electric
telegraphs and shorthand reporters. Why
not! Are they not greater than we are on
earth believe there is a channel of COM
munication extending from my mouth to the
home of the angels, and probably an angel at
the telegraph office in Heaven is now waiting
for the news from here, and as soon as he gets
it he will take it right to the hands of the
printers, and they will set it up in type and
print it in newspapers, and then boys or men
will jump on horses and ride around, giving
the inhabitants of Heaven the latest news con-
corning the kingdom Of God on earth. There
are more than two reporters here, more than
Brother Long and Brother Watt; l believe
there is a reporter here from Heaven, to find
out who is speaking, what is speaking about,
and everything else of interest. He sends the
items as fast as he gets them, right up to
Heaven, and there they are printed"

IMAGINARY GAMBLING.-An anecdote comes
from Ems which is curious We should have
thought, from his caution, that the hero had
been Scotchman he is, however, described
as Russian Count. Every day he takes his
seat, with packet of cards. to mark off the
course of the game-ealcuatin and reckoning
with the greatest fdelity-but he has never
been known to place sous upon the table-no,
all his gambling is done in Imagination. For
instance, he places five louis on black in imag-
lnatlon, and books it. Black wins he dou-
bles, i'll imagination, and books it, Black
wins; he doubles in imagination, and 10 lks
it; and SO he goes on for an hour or two, reck-
oning up his gains and losses, and playing, in
imagination, for immense sums. Now whetL-
er the whole thing is good satirical joke at
the proprietor of tho tables expense, or a bit
of eccentricty Ia Russo no one knoweth.
He keeps upal the appearance of the gambler
to the letter. When he loses, in imagination,
he is terribly moved, grinds his teeth, and
dashes his gloved hand upon the table, On
the contrary, when he wins, he is all radiant,
and gets up from the table in a perfect frenzy
OF delight. He tells those persons who ques-
ton him upon his successes, that he has won
already upward of 327 900 francs, and that he
would have broken the bank four times, and
he intends, like the successful Gascon at Ba-
den-Baden, to give twenty-five louis to the
poor-but, like his betting, only in magma
ton This little bit of malice lets the truth of
the affair out Perhaps he is only gaining ex-
perence, and intends to go next year with
louis-d 'ors to back him in carrying out his de-
signs on the peace of the back.-Co,ut Journal

The Sunday Laws.

: Strange as it may seem to the good peo-
pie Of the sturdy and conservative old ccun-
tyof Augusta, the citizens Of the large cities
of the North are seriously agitating the
question of abolishing the existing Sunday
laws. In New York, the attempt will be
10 abolish al the peculiar laws in reference
TO the Sabbath. IN St. Lotis, the popular
vote win decide whether or not the houses
OF public entertainment shall be closed on
Sunday and in Philadelphia, whether the
law prohibiting the running Of the city rail-
way shall remain on the Statute book. In
Baltimore and Chicago likewise, the ques-
ftion is generally discussed by the newspa-
pers and the city authorities. aa+
The opponents Of the Sunday laws con-
tend that such laws are unconstitutional,
and unsustained by the bible that the sew
;enth day, on which God rested after crea-
ting the universe, and which he command
ed his creatures to reverence, is not Sun
day, but Saturday, and that even granting
that Sunday is the very day which we are
commanded to observe, it was not intended
fora day of thanksgiving, prayer and church
service, alone, but for rest and recreation.
If the object of these reformers was simply
to abolish all laws (if any such laws EXIST
prohibiting persons from recreating and en-
joying themselves on Sunday, this last ar
gument would hold good, but it falls to the
ground in view of the fact that their object
is the abolition Of laws prohibiting en-
from laboring on Sunday, (conceding as
they do for arguments sake, that this is the
day which God hallowed) is expressly for
hidden by one Of the commandments.
Chat Saturday is the seventh day, we,
think there can be no doubt, but no sensi-
BILE person can suppose that any particular
day is more .hallowed and sacred than an
other; we think the real intention was to
set apart and dedicate one day to rest and
to God, and it makes not the least differ
ence whether that day be Saturday or Sun
day, and on that day nothing but absolute
" necessary work such as cooking, carry
ing the mails, and sometimes travelling, &c.
should be DONE @ s Ati ibisd

Painful Occurrence.

a resident Of Staunton, was bitten by rat

effects of which be died the next day; though
several physicians were in attendance, their
skill could avail nothing. The fangs Of the
venomous reptile had penetrated = blood
vessel in the hand and the poison coursed
with the speed Of electricity through the
system; in ten minutes after the fatal oc-
feurrence his feetcommenced swelling, which
made it evident that the poison had already
disseminated itself through the system. -.

The snake had been sent by some one re-

known to be in the habit of catching and

this one had not been extracted, and the
fatal blow was struck while Mr.. Perrin was
changing Elm from one cage to another.
