NOVEL weapons were lately used by a
husband and wife, in Trenton, N. j., in
o quarrel while at tea. The man, stung
into a passion by the sharp and bitter
tongue of his wife, first picked up o boy
and flung him at her; bu. this novel
missile, after flying bowling through the
air, like a screaming shell, brought up
against the stove, and exploded in a
series Of terrific yells. The man then
snatched up another child and hurled it
at his wife. This one struck with q dull
thud against the wall, and the uproar
became dreadful. The father was then
about to seize the baby, when the wife,
who had been somewhat astonished at
these extraordinary proceedings, picked
up a coffee-pot filled with the beverage
hot from the steve, and hurled It with
so true an aim and so vigorous an arm
as to bring the Infatuated man to the
floor and to terms at one and the same
time. The children, fortunately, were
not seriously hurt.

MEASURING DIsrAScEs.-The idea has
more than once suggested itself to use
the revolutions Of o car wheel Of known
diameter along a railroad track in
measuring distances, MS in the case Of an
odometer; but it was supposed that the
occasional slipping of the wheel along
the iron rail, without actual rotation,
would interfere materially with the in
d~ications. Careful expsriments-re-
Gently made with a view Of testing this
question-have shown that the number
of rotations indicates with perfect ex-
actness the actual distance traversed,
and that the measurements thus OBJ
tanned are ever more accurate than
those derived from the use of a measur-
ing chain, or the more delicate glass
bar apparatus of Besssl, as employed in
measuring the degrees of a meridian.

How and Why He Escapes Justlee-An

From the Chicago Republican. July 81
We make the following'sxtracts from
u letter written by a-gentlemau residing
at Pennington, Missouri, to his friends
in this city
"Father has kindly sent me two
papers, from one Of which I learn that
the rascal Hildebrand has attained a
wide notoriety. He did a great deal Of
lawless mischief during the war, but If
be had wanted to clear out at the close
of hostilities, his case would not have
been regarded among the multitude Of
offenders. But he determined upon
living in this county, though several
bills Of indictments were found against
him. Whether the Sheriff made any
effort to execute the process of the
Court, / cannot say /; he made no at
temp that people talk about publicly.
What is the cause of this laudable cold
ness? l used to think that the Sheriff
had o view to reelection, and thought
that H~ildebrand's friends were worth
conciliating but now a darker suspi-
cion is intimated. The brother
of the Sheriff is publicly accused
of harboring and abetting the bush
whacker. 1t is commonly remarked by
rebels aud by Union men that Hide.
brand has a great many friends, and
that they will 90 to extremities on his
behalf. Governor McClurg came to
Pennington last Saturday, stayed oyer
Sunday, and made q speech on Monday
The man who told me about tits q warm
personal friend of Mcclurg, and / take

was conciliatory in its effects, with some
grains of allowance. But he did threat
en- to praelaim martial law and send 20t
militia into the county ifHildebrand wal
not given up within q very short time
He did read q part ola list of men whom
he believed to be guilty Of harborinl

ANOTHER GRowL.-0ld Lewis, of tn,
Reno Crescent, is a terrible old ~growler
and we believe it is so natural to hin
TO growl that he must "make nigh
hideous" to all dodgers in his vicinity
As Washoe County is likely to lose il
half a million or more dollars annually
for lumber, timbers and 6rewood, which
has heretofore been used on the Com.
stock, unless it favors the building oil
the railroad through its territory, old
Lewis is becoming desperate, and is
abusing the people Of Storey, Lyon and
Ormsby counties without stint, because
they have though: proper to aid in the
construction of the railroad which will
be valuable in transporting millions of
tons Of low grade ores to water.power
mills on the river for reduction,
and obtaining their precious metals for
the benefit Of all owners in our mines,
and which will reduce the expenses Of
the lumber, the timber, and the fuel
consumed in our communities, at least
forty to fifty per cent. Lewis growls
and jaws like q man who might have q
big interest in the American Flat or
some other toll road leading into Gold
Hill or Virginia. Two or three weeks
ago, Lewis predicted that washos
County would be bankrupt inside Of six
months, and that its county script
would be almost worthless, because
Wadsworth was likely to seceds and
claim Lyon County as its mother I!
What will the old chap say next winter
when the land owners Of Washoe
County can find no marke. for the pro.
duct Of its timber forests? Then will
come the howl about not only a bank.
rupt county treasury, but pockets full
of emptiness hanging on the rumps of
its citizens. The following is Lewis
last growl against Storey, Lyon and
Ormsby, which he is likely to apply
to his own condition within n year.
