circumstances of his birth, the child would be in
love with wild life and find happiness only away
from the haunts of civilization.
| In 1913, Adams joined the great army of gold
hunters who lett the Atlantic States for the Pacific

of California. Here he had numerous startling ad.
ventures with the wild beasts who inhabited the

them to San Francisco and was subsequently, en-

A MAN FATALLY INJURED BY HIS WIFE-The NY.

| man lying upon the floor, and the blood flowing
from frightful cut on his head, while woman
stood over him brandishing a large aseknife and
threatening to kill him. The man and woman were
both taken to the station house. where medical aid
was provided for the man, whose injuries, it is |
feared, will prove fatal. The woman gave her
name as Mary Maloney, and said the man was her
husband, and she had stabbed him bee ause he had
refused to share some liquor with her. Justice
Gal ahan sent her to the Penitentiary for six months
and the man was taken to the Hospital A little
child was taken in charge by the Superintendent of
the Poor.
The METEOROLOGICAL CovGREss.-M. Ouetelet |
the perpetual secretary of the French Academy |
says that the enterprise proposed by the United |
states, under the direction of Lieut.. Maury, of |
meteorological congress, will be accomplished on |
large SCALE Very distinguished men are disposed |
to attend. He is about to visit England on account
OF it. The general Congress of Vienna has charged |
MIN with the duty of making up general pro- |
gramme for meteorological observations all over
the globe Unity of views is necessary in these |
observations. Thirty nations have assented to il,
ana several are already at work. Science has
thus accomplished a confederation of nations |
which politics has attempted in vain.
The London Court Journal says:-A divorce case.
under peculiar circumstances, is likely to attract
public attention. A lady, belonging to a distin |
guished family, long hesitated between two eligi-
bic sut0rs; she at length selected one of them and
was married, but soon fancied she made wrong |
selection, and eloped with her rejected suitor-
Proceedings were instituted, and she was among |
the first to avail herself of Sir Cresswell Cresswes
process of "Freedom made Easy" by marrying her |
guilty partner; but she seems scarcely to know her
own mind, for she has since re-eloped with her first
husband. Casuists puzzled to which she |
may be disposed to like best.
CRY RAILWAYS IN ENGLAND.-The London Star of
the 18th inst says:-The Metropolitan Street Rail
road question was again brought before the Mary
lebone Representative Council yesterday The en-
terprising Mr.. Train attended in support of his
plan, and Mr.. Wilkinson on behalf of the London
General Omnibus Company, and gentleman
named Curtis appeared for the purpose of urging
delay, both of these parties having schemes of their
own to promote. The vestry, however, resolved
by very decided majority to accede to Mr. Trains
application. We may expect to see these
street railroads as common in England as they are
in America.
The New York ''Woman's Libra.y' is flourish
ing greatly The rooms are thronged every day
with women who desire to avail themselves of its
advantages or with those who feel interested in
Its success, and wish to lend it their aid Among
the former are large number of the teachers in
the public schools, and four-fifths of the books
which they take from its shelves are histories
memoirs travels, &c. almost to the entire exclusion
oflight literature which many have predicted they
would alone require.
