seven months of age, fully developed into
womanhood, The change from that OF
ordinary infancy to full maturity, took
place when the child was two years Of age.
NJ igh the first indication Of the presence
of womanhood, the child's body rapidly
changed in all It's parts, from the eondi-
tion Of tender infancy to the fulIuess of
that of a healthy girl Of eighteen. The
face, alone, remained unchanged-a full

This wonder has attracted the attention
of many Of the physicians of the city.

In the execution Of his duty, however. he
was arrested and held to answer before
the Supreme Court OF the District of

distinctly two things, TO wit: LIST. that
Congress has practically undertaken to
annul by arbitrary resolution a plain Con

secondly, that ifttis usnrpation is aconi-

deduction from the action of the Court
in dischareing the prisoner clearly is that
General Thomas had committed no
offense in acting as Secretary of War.
and, if he had not, then the President
had committed no offense in appointing
him. While the decision of the District

received in logic and in law as a decision
that General Thomas had not committed

Boston, November 2.-In the suit OF the
Merchants National Bank vs.. the State Ma
tional Bank, originating In the late State
street irregularity, Judge Clifford to-day read
the opinion Of the Circuit Court. He decided
that the act Of June, 1854, under which the
national banks were created, conferred no au-
thority on the cashier OF banks to certify
checks, and that the power to certify checks
for third parties was not inherent In the duties
appertaining to cashiers. He also held that
the seventeenth bylaw of the State bank,
which specified the duties OF cashiers, did not
confer any power upon such officers to certify
checks OF third parties, and In addition there
appeared to be NO question that national banks
generally could not certify checks The Court,
In view OF these things, directed the jury to
give verdict for the State Bank. The coun-
sci for the Merchants Bank Immediately filed
exceptions, and the case will 20 to the Supreme
Court for final adjudication.

To-day the people OF this nation are to decide

its chosen instrumentalities. No man can
