FORMATION OF BoNE.-Nearly three years
ago, DIR. Toland, of San Francisco, announced
the discovery that under certain circumstan-
ces bone would be formed anew in the human
system. We find the following in the New
York Tribune of late date:
Much interest was manifested at the last
meeting of the Academy of Sciences of Paris,
in paper read by NJ Flourens, concerning a
remarkable instance of the natural formation
of a new bone, the outgrowth of the perios-
teum. The possibility of such an occurrence
has been strenuously denied by Sedillott and
other surgical writers. In the present case,
man living at Bayeux had his leg broken
by a fall. 1t was commiputed fracture the
tlGia was literally pulverized, and the thigh
was severely bruised, but at tie end of six
months fragment of the tabial bone nearly
eight inches in length was elected from its
place. and some weeks afterwards it was
found that the reproductive force of nature
was forming new bone to replace the old
one. 1t might be felt at first as a soft mass
but gradually hardened until at the end o
another half year it became entirely solid
The cure is complete and the leg is in every
respect as sound and perfect as before the
accident

AN EXCITEMENT IN THE PLAQUEMINEs PAR
IsH OF DA.-AN EMANCIPATED SLAVE USING
lNoENDARY LANGUAGE.-On the 18th, as an
peared by letter in the New Orleans Plea
yune, there was a great excitement in the
farish OF Flaquemines, La because one
VIM. Thomson, free mulatto, in the pres
ence OF slaves and free persons of color, made
use OF the most Incorporate and incendiarv
language. This man Thompson was manu-
mitted by the late George W. johnson, about
eight or nine years ago The police jury,
which had then the power to do SO, allowed
him to live within the limits of the parish
by his insolent department towards white.
people, as stated, Thompson made himself
generally obnoxious. Two or three citizens
happening to be in a store, in the Ronquillo
settlement, where Thompson uttered the
most incendiary language, overheard Thomp-
son, and demonstrated with him for giving
publicity to sentiments of so dangerous ma
ture, but in vain. On Saturday, the 1st inst,
an affidavit against Thompson was made be-
fore Justice of the Peace by Capt Joseph
Cathcart, as | am informed, and the accused
was Immediately arrested and locked up in
the iail at Pont-a-la-Ila AS tie Dis
trict Court was to hold on the next Monday
a special term for the trial of Dominique Or
mea, the supposed murderer of the late ABB
be Sas ELI, District Attorney Ducros imme-
diately brought the case of Thompson before
the Grand Jury, and true bill was found
against the prisoner for using incendiary
language in the presence of slaves and free
persons of color. Thompson was brought
for trial. He having no counsel, lawyer
Grammont, of New Orleans, was appointed
by the Court in his defense, and he was tried.
The jury found him guilty, and as they did
not qualify their verdict, Thompson will be
hung, if Gov. Moore did not think proper to
clement in his favor.
The accused was finally sentenced to 81
years hard labor in the State Prison.

He half funconsciousy, half wickedly, says

to Ind the owner. The old 'un rected the
fable of Minerva and the Woodchopper."-
Don't you remember it? The chopper had
let his AK slip out of his hands into the river
He didn't have rich diggings, and the loss of
his AK so distressed him that he cried. Mi
nerva appeared, and drew up from the stream
a golden AK, and axed the chopper if that
wasn't his. lie was "poor but honest" and
said it wasn't. She then brought up q silver
ak, and the poor man disowned that likewise
She brought up next his old iron affair, and
Mr.. chopper, such was his tender nature, wept
as big for joy as he had for sorrow-exclaim-
ing "That's the AK what l lost' Minerva
says Good boy" and gives him all the tools
in the shop. He tells his good fortune, before
settling down on ranch, and a neighbor
thinks he will play Minerva, if she's so liberal
a girl lie goes to the same spot and sets up
a howl Minerva appears, and says: What
do you want ?" lie tells her hen -and-cow
story about losing his AK in the river The
Old girl tells him to dry up, and she will try
TO get 1t. She draws up an iron ak, but our
fellow throws otf-says his was better tool
She brings up a Washoe ak; That's more
like it, but not quite the figure" The lady
brings up 64-oz golden ax-"Ah, ha that's
1t, says he-"the very AK I've had ever since
the spring of '49 or fall of !" and he makes
a lunge for it. "No you don't" says Miner

TO ride on the crusted and flashing snow
"Over the hills and far away"
Behind a donkey they thought would go.
And he whisted-the Boy-as he toddled along.

AN INDIGNANT WGFE's RETALIArIoN.-T
Cleveland Plaindealer relates this story in its
usual elegant C9 style;
An influential man, who resides near Cuya
hoga Falls has been absent from home a
good deal during the past year. He told his
wife he went off to buy cattle. He never
brought any cattle home with him, and his
wife wondered "what under the sun" he did
with them. Women are generally sharp 1t,
perhaps, has never occurred to some people,
but women know few things. And this
particular woman, in the course of time,
snuffed large mice. She positively ascer-
tanned, indeed, that her husband was ming
ling with loose erinoline in several adjacent
places, and that "buying cattle was a false
and wicked pretext.
On returning home from a attle-buying
("in nay minds eye Horatio, ") tour not long
since, the man was rather surprised not to
find his wife at home, and was somewhat
more surprised to learn that she had been
absent for three days, and was a good deal
more surprised to learn that she had gone off
with man with black whiskers. lie started
in pursuit. lie secured the country round.
At last he met her. She was in buggy with
Mr.. Whiskers. They were returning home.
"Where in - have you been, Maria p
shouted the husband, boiling with indigna-
ton, "Oh, Tge been off buying cattle r she
sweetly replied, while Mr.. Whislers dashed
the horse into furious pace, and they DASH

The IMBEILITY OF THE GOLD PUBLIC FUNe. -
A Washington correspondent of the Union
says "The United States forts at Charles
kon are manned by only sixty men and oti-
GERS, under the command of Captain Ander-
son, of Kentucky. These few men occupy at
present Fort Dloultrie, the other two forts
being without any garrison whatever. Mrs
Anderson, the wife of the Captain, has paid
n visit to the President, telling him that, If he
does not order more troops to Charleston, as
her husband desires, he will have the fearful
responsibility of the life of the same upon
his conscience. Captain Anderson, as far as
she knew, would never surrender the fort
.confided to him. as long as he lived. General
Scott and General Cass have both in vain
been trying to induce the President to listen
30 reason, and despatch more troops to Fort
.NIoultrie, 60 that the garrison may be able to
hold out against an attack of the South Car
ohnians. General Cass has finally been COM
PEELED to send in his resignation, which the
President has accepted. Before parting, it is
said that the two old men have been
crying very hard. General Scott, being dis
satisfied with the imbecility ofthe President,
will also resign
