scientific progress as the present, this de-
partment will be valuable to all who desire
to keep up with the constantly advancing

The case of the United States vs.. T, J.
Edwards, q. P. Edwards, L. J. Ducote, C.
j. Gaspard, and A. D. L~afargue, citizens of
the Parish of Avoyelles, came up the other
day in the city of New Orleans before com.
missioner Weller. The defendants are
charged by n Amos s. Collins with having
on or about the 2sth of December 1858, at
the town of Marksville, with %felonious
threats, force and violence, break into his
place of business, and against his will and
without his consent, did steal and carry
away certain property, consisting of por-
lions of type, printing press, materials, &c.
Upon the affidavit of Collins, that he could
not obtain redress before the local tribunals,
commissioner Weller issued a warrant for the
arrest Of the above named parties who were
brought before him on Monday last.
Judge Miller the District Judge. P. De
Bellevue, and Judge E. N. Cullum, substan-
tlate the allegation of the plaintiff, that he
could not obtain justice before the loca,
tribunals. It appears that the plaintiff
made out his case completely against the
parties accused, and the commissioner &c.
cordingly held them to answer before the
U. S. District Court, and to give bail in the
sum of $500. each, for their appearance.
The case is not analogous to the suit Of
the Eonato's; in that, the latter seek to
make the authorities of the town O fOpel,u-
us responsible for the acts of individuals.

APPLEToN's JOURNAL will be printed on a
sheet of the same size as Harper's Weekly, but
folded one time more, thereby affording a page
more convenient to handle, and suitable for
binding.
1t will be devoted to popular current Liter

short stories; Essays upon literary and social
topics; Sketches of travel and adventure;
Discussions upon art, books, and kindred
themes; Papers pom all the various subjects
that pertain to the pursuits and recreations of
the people, whether of town or c~ountry; and
Poems by our foremost poets.

in the plan of the JOURNAL. Each number
will be accompanied by either an Illustrated

large Cartoon engraved on wood. Novelty,
freshness, and continual change will be aimed
at IN this department. The illustrations will
usually be valuable as works of art; those on
steel, and the cartoons, consisting of views of
American scenery by our most distinguished
painters, and illustrations of character and life
