STATISTICS OF SLAUGHTER-The N. Y. Tribune
goes into statistical survey and review of the cam
paigns of the Great Napoleon, as compared with the
present war in Italy, which is shown to be, SO far
less bloody than the campaign of Napoleon I:
Cropping for facts among the mass of contradictory
telegrams it would seem that about 250,OOO troops,
of all arms participated or less in the struggle
at Magenta and that the killed and wounded mum.
Der some 0,00O-b being not far from eight per cent
of the armies Appalling as is such slaughter, Ma
genta wears much smoother front than the grim.
visaged fields Of the Napoeonic period
We have coated the details Of ten of the chief
battles of that era-namely, Marengo, Austerlitz,
jena, Eylau Friendland, Aspern, Wagram, Borodino,
Leipsic and Waterloo. Taking as the basis of our
calculations the average statements of the leading
authorities oil sides, and dscardng mere fractions
and dealing only in round numbers we find that, in
these ten battles, France and her allies had 9s9 900
men, of all arms; her antagonists ,132 600; and
that there were killed and wounded of the former
249,5O0, and of the latter 26l ,5OO-makDg an ag.
gregate of 2l2l 900 troops engaged of whom 81 900
were killed and wounded. The average loss, there.
fore, in these ten battles is fraction over twenty
four per cent. little less than equarter of all
the troops engaged The carnage at Magenta, then,
would seem to be only about onethrd as great s
the average slaughter Of the chief contests of the
first Napoleon.

WHEAT HARVEST IN SOUTH CAROLINA The
Athens Penny Post of the 9th says:
Our farmers are now in the midst of the wheat
harvest. AS far as we have learned, though the
grain stood thin on the ground in some places, the
heads better filled than usual, and the yield will
be much larger than was anticipated few weeks
ago. For illustration, farmer in the western part
of the county told us Tuesday that six weeks ago
he offered to take hundred and fifty bushels for his
crop, but he was satisfied now that it would yield
four hundred and fifty. And this is by no means
solitary instance. We have no means of arriving at
the probable figure at which the market will open

KILLED BY BRANDY.-In Pittstown, Rensselaer,

habits, named Warren Johnstone, was induced by an
acquaintance to go on spree. At one tavern he met
second acquaintance, who offered to pay for tum.
bier of brandy if Johnsone would drink it. The lat

throat. The acquaintance asked il he would drink
another. johnson said he would, and drank the
second tumbler soon after. He soon became stupid

evening.

Her eyes neither heavy nor red.

With jIg.like pat on the machine 30 quick.
She finished beautiful shirt.

'Tis the polished shuttle that fiies--

And never tear in her eyes;
For, long ere the stars shine over the roof,
She sings in voice OF liveliest pitch,
All done are the garments of flaxen woof-
The machine is dear little witch
Now, its nothing but by play to stitch.
Seam, and gusset, and band,n .E-
No more cause brains TO swim;
No more the weary hand,
No more eyes dreary and dim:

And buttons all on now I'll aleep,
And rollick away in my dream.

With sewing machines, Il is clear,
May be heightened women's lives.

HARMLESS THUEDERBoLr.-During the storm
yesterday afternoon, flash OF lightning descended
and struck the large new post in front of the tele
graph office, and apparently followed it down to the
sidewalk. 1t was instantaneousy followed by re-
port like the discharge Of pistol, and the diffusion
of about ten thousand sparks. When the rain subs
ded, party of the curious went to see what damage
was done. The post was unscathed. Probably it
was creased streak," which struck and slid off
from the post; or, perhaps the highly polished sur
face of the post wouldn't allow the electric fluid to
take hold. Mobile Register.

collect at the same spot much gold as can lay on
the bowl of teaspoon in short time, without dig
ging for it. Having ascertaned that it was real gold
she reserved to herself fifteen days before she would
disclose the locality where it is to be found.
