READING.

We were much pleased with the gen
eral tenor of the address delivered on
Sunday morning last, BY Rev. j. AN
DERsoN, TO young men, on the subject of
reading. There is certainly no matter
in an educational point of view that
claims so much care as the choice Of
books to be read.
1t is an observable truth, that tho char
acter of men in mature years, is strongly
marked by the sentiments derived from
tho books read in younger years, provided
they have taste for reading in early life
and have the means of gratifying that
taste. And not unfrequently the man is
but the embodiment of that peculiar spe-
cies of literature which has engaged his
attention while youth. And we do moi
hesitate to affirm that one great reason
why our cities, larger towns and villages
TEEN with an enelvated and trashy class
Of young mon, embracing n very large
proportion Of them, it may DO in some
instances, is, the avidity with which they
seize upon and devour mentally the light
yellow-co literature Of the presen
day, those novels and novelettes that onll
serve 10 arouse aud stimulate the base
passions and animal prorensities of on
nature. Hence, when such chance {,
meet in company, il makes but little dit
ference for what purpose, conversation

IKE following is the verdict of the Coroncr's
jury:
1--WE, the jury find that Richard r. Nc
Gill came to his death in Sacramento, Califor-
mia, this Goth day of November, A. ID. 1860,
from pistol shot wound through the head,
and that the pistol was fired by his own
hand"
The News says: Coroner Murray in
forms us that on a subsequent examination it
was found that the posteror portion of the
seUli was fractured-an injury undoubtedly
received when he was thrown from the car
liage. There can be little doubt that this
caused meLtal alteration, which can only ac-
count for the suicidal act.
Deceased was about twenty eight years of
age, and native of Hagerstown, Mary land.

must win the day; at all other points we

Followed by one hundred men at rapid
pace, Garibaldi leading the way in small
disabled carriage, went right forward. But
just as they got near the Casino of San An.

lying on the ground rose ard fell upon them.
The coachman drove his horses into ditch,

Garibaldi jumped up, indignant, and went up
to the Chasseurs shouting "Viva Italia r
Some of his men coming up at the same time,
the enemy became demoralized and took TO
