THE GAME OF BnLIARDs.--Mr. Doestlcks
thus describes, in the Sunday Mercury, the
game Of billiards:
need hardly tell you that the game of
billiards consists in punching ivory balls
about on big table, covered with green
cloth, that looks like half an dcre Of mead
ow land, with an India rubber fence around
il; that the balls are punched with long
wooden ramrods, with wax on the end to
save the wood, and leather put on to savo
the wax, and chalk put on to keep the
leather from wearing out. You take your
ramrod and rub some chalk on the little
end; then you lean over the table; then you
squint; then you lit up your leg; then you
fiddle a little on your left hand with your
ramrod; then you pinch your ball; II your
ball runs against the other mans ball,
you've done q big thing, and you poke up a
lot of buttons that are strung on a wire.
This is oil there is of the game of billiards.
Anybody can punch billiards. can, and
maybe you could.

Startles the villagers with strange alarms
All what sound will rise, how wild and drcary,.
When the dcaih-angel touches those swift keysl
What loud lament and dismal misery
Will minge with their awful symphonies!

The cries Of agony. the endless groan,
Which, thro' the ages that have gone before us,
In long reyerbeTaton reach our own.
On helm and harness rings the Saxon hammer,
Thro' Cimbrc forest roars the Norsemans song,
And loud amid the universal cnmor,
DER distant deserts sounds the Tartan gong.

Wheels out his battle bell with dreadful DIM

The soldiers rcvels in the midst Of pillagei

A SAD AND FATAL MIsTARE.-A mistake,
that has resulted in the death of one OF our
old citizens, occurred this morning, says the
Cleveland Herald of April Sd. The partlcu-
lars are these Mr. Howard went into the
drug store of H. Brock, Ontario street, under
the Burnett House, where he had been IN
the habit of calling and helping himself to
liquor This morning he called as usual,
and asked the clerk for brandy. The clerk
set the Jar containing brandy out on the
counter shelf, when Howard, taking glass,
proceeded to help himself, and on his way to
the brandy jar he passed a small bottle Of
creosote, which had been used few minutes
before and thinking it was the brandy poured
out an ordinary drink. and swallowed 1t.
He turned to the clerk and asked, "W hat
kind of liquor is this ?" The clerk at once
looked at the the bottle, and discovering the
fatal mistake, instantly sent for several ply
sicians, who shortly arrived, and did all that
was possible to relieve his suferings, but it
was impossible to save his lite. Mr.. Howard
died in the Burnett House in about two
hours from the time he drank the creosOte.
Mr.. Howard was about fifty years old.

BIBL1oTHECAL. A recent London letter to

following item
THE current of books between England
and America has experienced a change in
its direction, and now sets back to England,
as judge from an announcement handed
me the other day by bookseller Mr.. H.
Stevens, the largest dealer in American books
in Europe, has bought the entire library of
the late Edward A. Crowninshield, of Bost-
on, consisting of books which he himself
bought for Mr.. Crowninsheld, mostly
in London; has had 1T shipped here, and its
getting it ready for sale in April or Nav
i understand that he paid for some Of the
books more than they cost Mr.. Crowninsh-
ield The library is very rare and curl
GUS one, and, owing to the cleaning which
the English market has received during the
past few years, by American book buyers, it
will sell at a large advance"
Most of these books will probably find their
way back to this country, Mr.. Stevens being
a large buyer for the American market.

Stowe OF Andover, says of the new diction-

81 have looked over with some care, the
last issues Of both Webster's and Worces-
ter's Dictionaries. Without any disparage-
ment to Dr. Worcester as an able, laborious
and successful photographer. must say that
this examination has confirmed my former
impression of the superiority of Webster on
almost every point for which a dictionary is
usually consulted Webster's Distionary as
now published, think, has decidedly the
advantage over Worcester's in the analytic
clearness, the accuracy and neatness of its
definitions, in the nice philosophical discrim-
ination of synonyms, and in the graphic
significance and beauty of the pictorial il
