During . parade Of the Wide Awakss at Co
hoes, N. Y; last Tuesday night, one man fell
down to the bottom of well some forty feet
deep. His companions speedily pulled him out,
and anxiously inquired - to the extent Of his
injuries. The first thing he said, splitting out
mouthfulls Of water, was Shave you heard any
thing from Pennsylvania during my sbsences"
The Washington Star, describing the numer-
GUS converts to Republcanism ct the National
capjtal, says, ut was amusing to hear the ejacu-
lations of surprise ~ different parties met in the
room of the Republicans Club-as, Who the

when did you leave the Breckinridge crowds'
Il thought you Mas for Douglasr 'Thunder!

YOU was in the mob that WAS going to tear down
the Era ofice'-and 60 on.
It has been customary at Washington for the
Ordnance department to grant gun to the pol
,ticiahs for their little Publications. upon their
giving proper security for the return of the piece
So the Republicans made application At the
Ordnance department for gun to fire over the
late elections. They were answered that it had
been customary 70 grant similar respects, but
that The War Department must decide the point
The application vas then transferred to the Wal
department, aud Fat refusal was the result
What is sauce for the goose is not sauce tor the
Cander in that department. Democrats can have
cannon for their rcjoicings, but it by NO means
follows that the same favor will be granted &c

ALMOST A NuRDeR.-We learn that shoot
ing affair occurred near Onargs on Friday last
which came near being fatal to q woman. \
Mr.. Carney and friend had been cunning, ans
on their return home, Mra Rainey asked them
what they would have for dinner; whereupoi
Carney presented his gun, which was loaded with
shot, aud cred both barrels at her. One cbarg,
took effect in her neck, and the other in hel
leg. Mrs r. is not MORALLY injured, and viii
recover after time. 1t is intimated that Mr
C. was somew what intoxicated at the time, and
did not realize what he was doing, as The parte:

A PuoroGRApHIc BIRD's Ere VIEW OF Bos
roN.-Mr. King the aronaut, and Mr. Black, OF
Boston, photographer, made an ascension from
Boston Common at noon on Saturday, in the
balloon Queen of the Air, for the purpose Of TAX
ing Photographic views Of the city and the sur
rounding country. They rose about twelve hun.
dred feet with rope attached. The atmosphere
was remarkably clear, and Mr.. Black succeeded
in getting several good views of the eastern and
nf tho ostv afI,rss
character of the streets is finely presented, and
A Denoted. Boston looks very much like toy
town that a boy has built Of painted blocks A
glimpse is given of the ocean, and the white sails
of schooner are clearly defined.
According to decision just pronounced ia the
New York court ofappeals, there is no law in the
state for publishing murder in the first degree at
all The law Of last winter having abolished the
only statute which defined the mode OF punish
ment. no court or other tribunal has any right to
prescribe that mode This seems to be very
curious and purely technical construction. But
it comes from the court Of last resort, and is Of
course final and decisive. - 81
PRErrY EYPERMENr.-Professor Rogers has
solved the problem Of seeing through mill
stone" In paper read before the Scientific
Association, at Newport, he says: Sessos
"Take sheet Of foolscap or letter paper, roll
it uo SO that the opening At one end shall be
and at the other end let the opening be not half
so large Take it in tee right hand, holding it
between the thumb and the fore finger; place
the large end to the right eye and look through
it with both eyes, open to the light. You ariA see
a hole through your hand If you take it in your
left hand and hold it to your left eye it will be
the same You will in both cases be astonishcd
to sce that you have Q hole in your hand. The
illusion is most complete"
From this and other experiments the Profess
sor concludes that an impression made on the
retina of eithereye cannot Of itself enable us to
on which retina it is received, and
that the usual perception ,elongs to the part Of
the optical apparatus near or within the brain
which belongs in common to both eyes. IA
SoUrH CAROLINA FOR SUBMISSION. The re-
suit Of the recent election of members Of the
Legislature in Charleston, s. G., the. very hot

sentiment in that State, Is most Insignificant,

These indications are sufficient to show how
,t,erly puerile, and how unmeaning except for
POLITICAL effect, 10 al the late blpster which We
ave had from South Carolina, in regard TO se-
.ess;on from the Union in case Of Nr. Lineoln's
lection. This cry of .wolf" has been heard
eyeral times too. often, TO have any practical

played out, and no sensible person will any lon
