The SemaphOre, of Marseilles, relates that
lew days ago two enormous cats, which were
fighting furiously on the roof of house in the
Rue BelZume, suddenly lost their balance and
rolled together into the street. Unhappily the
two animals fell on tho head of young girl,
WHO happened to pass at the moment, and
severely wounded her in the face with their
claws. The unfortunate victim was taken up,
covered with blood, and carried to the nearest
hospital, where she lies in dangerous state.
Amongst the number of patriots who have,
by the cession of Venetia, been restored to their
country, one of the most remarkable is the
lawyer Tecchio. When, in l84s, NJ. Tecchio was
obliged TO leave, as an exile, Vienna, and retire
TO Pardue, he swore that he would never shave
himself until his country was made free. Thanks
10 this VOW, N. Tecchio possesses at present the
finest beard in all the kingdom OF Italy; and 1t
is such magnificent beard, that he cannot
make up his mind to sacrifice 1t on the altar Of
patriottsDa and contents himself with comblDg
carefully his beard.
The Engineer reports an interesting scen.
tidc experiment. Hitherto, it says, il has been
found impossible to adapt the ordinary planning
machines for curvilinear planing; bot at length
the problem has been solved by Mons. Middle
ton, the head of the machinery department in
Chatham dockyard, who has succeeded In
planning the whole of the curves and angular
surfaces of the iron steam-pipe for the Monarch,
with no other appliances than the common
planning machines.
