stantly for the last twelve years. She
awakes regularly twice in every twenty
four hours, and is perfectly conscious for

"A Waterman at New London, Conn,
recently, when the engineer and fireman
had gone to breakfast, thought he would
play engineer awhile on a locomotive. So
he let steam on He intended to go back,
but the engine went ahead. and, before he
could reverse it, it went off the dock into
the river Efforts were made to raise the
engine, but it will take some time, and the
company will have the pleasure of paying
for the watchman's curiosity. +.
In the trial of a suit for damages grow
ing out of the death of Mr. William Walk
er, in consequence of a collision on the
Long Island Railway, the Court decided
| that it is the duty of conductor to furnish
seats to all passengers. If he should fail
to do this, and travellers be compelled to
stand, even though they stand on the plat
form, and personal injury result, the rail
way company cannot avail itself of
the law which absolves it from liability
by posting notices in the cars against
standing on the platform.
A nice old gentleman of seventy three

in delightful state of palpatation almost
flew to the clergyman's, but found he was
absent from the city. However, in the
evening the clerical gentleman returned,
and the twain, after all their vexatlous dis
appointments, were duly made zone flesh. y
The bride is forty-seven.
| The New York Gazette calls attention
to the immense advance of rents and real
estate in that city. Only last week we
heard of an instance where a gentleman,
owning an elegant house upon Fifth
avenue, vainly tried to sell it for $4,000 in
/ 1860. A few days ago he was offered for
| it the modest sum of 100000, and would
not think of letting it go at that price. Six
years ago the building that is now the
| Union League Club house could be rented
for So, 900; now it is in demand at $4,000.
Six years ago there were not ten men in
New York who could really afford to live
in house worth 100000; now there are
one hundred at least. Six years ago
$4,000 was large rent for dry goods
stOre now there are several that pay
| $4,000 There must be limit to this
| frlghtful advance in rents and real estate,
aud we think the end is near.
