AFTER HIM.-Some fend on Monday night
went to the house of the widow O'Donnell, at
Rowland Flat, and attempted to gain ad-
mission. The lone woman arose from her
bed, went to the door, and discharged pis>
tol shot at the villainous miscreant, which
had the effect of making him take a sudden
departure from thepremises. The fellow had
horse which a friend or aecomplice took
from him and stabbed. The rutiian was
tracked to his cabin, found in bed, and, upon
being threatened, admitted we are told, that
he had been out His pursuers threatened
to use him in no gentle style, which elected
considerable fear and some good promises
from the mean creature His intention, it is
thought was to take away an unfortunate
woman who is now endeavoring BY industry
and good conduct to remove a stain that has
heretofore marked her character -Nomtan

The PorE AND VIcroR EMANuEL.-Th e
Pope has just launced another allocution "
against King Victor Emanuel, rehearsing the
misfortnnes which the head of the church
has recently been called upon to suffer and
charging all his miseries upon the King. who
robbed him of his atfeetionate subjects in the
Romagna. He certainly is in great deal of
trouble. The Irish soldiers are continually
making rows, and Lamoriciere, the general of
his forces, is said to be very much disgusted,
and only waiting a favorable opportunity to
leave the Roman territory. The loan of fif-
ty millions of francs which he has been en-
deavoring to raise to carry on the war against
the people, in spite of the appeals of the faith
full, which have been made from almost every
pulpit in France, has met with but few ta-
kers, and the time that it is to be left open
has been indefinitely postponed. One would
think that the Holy Fakir would be, by this
time, ready to give up his temporal power,
which is so troublesome to him, aud the
management Of which so sours his temper,
and makes him act so childish. Paris letter.

popular lecturer and demonstrator in Paris.

performing demonstrative operation before
his class upon sHbject he accidentally made
an incision upon the back of his hand with

terribly infiamed, modification ensued, which
spread with great rapidity, and NJ. Dumay
dled victim or martyr to his profession
lie was curious example of what man can
do in this world if he has but the fixed de-
termination to accomplish something. He
was butchers apprentice when a boy, and
whether or not his business suggested to him
the science of surgery, he employed his leis-
nre time In attending lectures, and in practi-
cal operations upon dead subjects. In course
OF time he became very thorough and throw.
ing off his butchers apron became a lecturer
and demonstration upon operative surgery
lie never took any degrees, and never re-
ceived any diplomas, and was said to know
nothing about the science of medicine. His
speciality was surgery, and his classes were
