A few nights since, as the night express
on the New York Central road was near
Amsterdam, baby, who was looking out
of an open window, gave d spring, and in
an instant fell from its mothers arms to the
ground. The affrighted mother, without a
thought of danger, rushed to the door and
leaped from the train. AS soon as possible
the cars were stopped and backed to- the
spot, where every one expected to learn of
the fatal injury of both mother and child.
But, strange to say, neither was hurt, ex.
cept that the baby had slight bruse on
the head. The mother stated that as she saw
the child 60 out of the window, her only
thought was that she "wanted the baby"

A TEMPORARY DIssoLUTIoN.-polt
cal cotemporary says that the Richmond
Hhtg does not speak to the Northern Dem.
ocrats in an over>encourageing way. 1t
thinks that one effect of Ohio and Penn.
sylvania elections will be the temporary dis
solution of "the Democratic party" How
many such temporary diss0lhtions" the
party will be able to stand with the least
hope of subsequent reconstruction, we do
not undertake to determine. 1t was "dis>
solute' enough before, the Lord knows. II
q man were sick unto death it would be
real cold comfort if friend should approach
his bedside and kindly whisper The soon,
er you die the better for you. Don't be
frightened-it's only temporary" It's
'discouraging,' certainly, but the sooner you
go through with it the better. You. have
no idea how FRESH and lively you will feel
after 1t. So just go ahead with your dying,
my good fellow, you will be sound man
tomorrow" Whether the Whig will see
in the November elections any reason to
reconstruct its rather mournful diagnosis of
the condition Of the Democratic party and
give it temporary respite from "tempora.
ry disolution," we know not yet. AS, how
ever, the Democratic roostets were not suf.
iiciently exhilerated by the news from New
York and Maryland to come forth and flop
their wings as of yore, it is rather doubtful
whether the Whig will find much comfort
in it.

sidcred the finest of the entire list of numerous

tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi-
mute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
