THE RAILROAD CAsE.-The case of Mrs
Shaw Us. the Boston and Worcester Railroad
was on trial at Boston yesterday, in the SUI
preme Court, and considerable excitement was
occasioned in the Court room, by the severity
and warmth of the remarks of Henry f. Du-
rant, Esq, Council for Mrs. Shaw, who init
mated that improper influences had been used
to prejudice the jury against his client The
case has been tried before, and decided against
the Railroad, the jury awarding very heavy
damages to Mrs Shaw, and the case is now
brought before the Supreme Court upon an
appeal from the finding of the lower Court.

FoxY.-The Barre Gazette states, that,
few days since, daughter of Mr.. Ira Bruce,
of West Boylston, found large grey fox in
the hen-house, helping himself to the poultry,
from which he had already selected turkey
and pair of chickens. Miss Bruce, instead
of screaming and running away, as some young
ladies would have done, entered the coop, pitch
fork in hand, closed the door behind her, and
slew the varmint for which she is certainly
entitled to the thanks of all poultry breeders in
that vicinity.

made without any previous intimation of de-
sire for an increase of wages, and that the pro-

negotiated with their men individually, and to
make any reasonable and proper arrangement
with them; but they are not prepared to sue
cumb to the demands of an organization, form
ed for the purpose of coercion.

an end to his life because he thought himself

A STRANGE AND MALIGNANT DISEASE has
made its appearance in Providence. 1t COM
mences with a small and apparently inoffensive
pimple or pustule, generally on the lip, which
soon degenerates into malignancy nearly I'M
comfortable. Three cases have already gone
beyond cure. This disease, though unfrequent
here is said to be common in France The
Post thus further describes it:
at commences as little dark red spot, on
the face or hands, with, perhaps a singing or
pricking pain, on which spot there soon APP
pears a pustule or vesicle seated on a hard in
famed base, in which is formed a slough of
charcoal backness, where modification COM
mences The cases are attracting the earnest
attention of the physicians. The only effectu-
al mode of treatment is said to be, to burn the
pimple out in its early stages, with hot iron
or with caustic. In view of the rather unde-
fined nature of this disease, we would suggest
thatit is eminently desirable if any one is trou-
bled with a pimple swelling of an unusual
character, that physician should be at once
consulted before it is tempered with. Although
there is no cause for general alarm, disease of
this malignant type cannot be checked too

A HUsBASD AND WIFE SEPARATED BY THE
STANDARDIZATION Birch and wife, of Portland,
Maine, are spiritualists, and have faith to do
whatever the Spirits" tell them. Recently
they told Mrs. Birch that it was her duty TO
part from her husband and discover the matri-
monial bond. This was little unpleasant to
the husband, but he did not dare to disobey
his spiritual advisers. So his wife went off to
Boston, where she is living with man whom
the spirits declare has the proper affinity!
The Boston Traveller of yesterday, reports
the following similar case:
Owe regret to hear that gentleman of this
city, of distinguished literary and scientific at
tainments, one who bears a venerated name,
and whose genius and science has given an
important improvement to the cities of the
United States, has been so far bewildered in
the mazes of spiritualism, as to believe that he
is wrongly mated with an amiable and devoted
wife, and has found his spiritual affinity with
another young lady. As we have been in
formed, the wife, though heartbroken by the
development, and having one child, has assent
ed to the request of her husband for separa-
ton, and he has gone to Indiana to procure a
divorce, in order that he may marry his new
affinity, who, we believe is, like his wife, lady
of intelligence, amiability, and irreproachable
in character"

PROFESSOR SILLIMAN, JR.-The lecture Of
this gentleman, before the Lyceum and Libra

decided success. His subject was history of

hopeful and conclusive, and his illustrations of

feet. His experiments, illustrative Of the vari-

lecture, were beautiful and instructive and ere
ated very unequiyocal manifestations of APP

A pleasant circumstance connected with this
lecture, was, the proof it afforded that our spa

adapted to lectures on physical science, requir-

doubt for that object alone, hall constructed
more afier the model of the ancient amphithea-
tire would be preferable but, for all the social
