From the Lancaster Gazette, of this
week, we learn that a gentleman named
Meyer, aged about so years, met with a
terrible accident on Sunday last, about
four miles from that place, while return
from picnic. When at point here
the road passes precipitous, rocky bank,
thirty or forty feet in height from the
stream below, his horse became unman-
ageable and commenced kicking, and
backing toward the precipice. Mr. Mey-
er jumped out of the buggy to seize the
horses head, but unfortunately lost his
balance and fell over the bank, making
an almost unbroken descent to the bot
tom Of the cliff. He was picked up in
an insensible condition, and taken to the
city, where he died on Tuesday morning.
The important and intensely interest
ing question, EDoes the Bible command
Total Abstinence" is still being dis
cussed through the columns of the New
Lexington Herald with consummate
ability on both sides. We always expe-
rience pleasant anxiety to unfold the
Herald when it comes to hand each week,
and, for a time, forgetting every thing
else, plunge into one of these articles.
No words of ours can express the pleas
ure we derive from the operation. The
only possible objection that can be urged
against them is that they are not sufi-
GENTLY interspersed with quotation
marks, parentheses, brackets, asterisks,
italics, small caps, etc. These things
form barriers, so to speak, against fell
lows hurrying through, and when they
are used in profusion, the pleasure of
reading is very considerably drawn out.
Mention this matter to your contriDu-
tors, Meloy, and if they evince delica-
cy about embellishing their dissertations
as above suggested, draw literally on the
less frequented boxes of your eap-case,
and embellish them yourself.

The interesting renaissance of the early
newspapers of Somerset, by John Nj.
Laird, many years ago a resident Of this
place, and now the editor of the Green's
burg, Pa Argus, was written, at the So
licitation of w. A. Taylor, Esq, editor
Of the Pittsburgh Post, for the New Lex
ton Tribune, from which paper we have
taken the liberty to copy it. While in
conversation recently with Mr.. Laird,
Mr.. Taylor learned that that gentleman
had once been engaged in the newspaper
business in this place, and thinking that
he could doubtless write an interesting
chapter of recollections, induced him to
write the article mentioned.
There were other spicy sheets, beside
the "Scorpion" and the "Rattlesnake, :"
published in Somerset, either before or
after Mr.. Laird's residence here, file
of one of which we remember having
seen good many years ago. 1t was
called "The Western World and Politi
cal Ticker" About all that remember
about it is that it seemed to be exclusive
ly "devoted" to the abuse of Judge Hood.
We think that J. II. Shearer, of the
Marysville Tribune, has file of the
Tickler.

Anntomx of1he Pornnisn.

Mr.. Frank Buckland, having dissected
porpoise, gives some interesting infor.
nation on the structure of that animal.
In the matters of bowels it is we'll pro
vided for, the specimen examined hav.
ing sixty.two feet two inches of intestine.
The stomach was so complicated that it
could not be made out by ordinary dis.
section. To get round the difficulty Mr..
Buokland hung it up by the @sophagus,
and filled it with plaster of paris, OF
which nearly pailful was required be
fore the organ was fully defended. 1t
was then found that the porpoise has
two stoma0hs-one ip which the prey is
kept, and the other in which is digested.
A careful SECTION of the head showed
the blow.hole to be most complicated
mechanism. The porpoise being pure
mammal, has a fourcavitied heart and a
pair of lungs. Now nature has ordained
that he shall live in the sea; the problem
;s how i'd keep water out of the lungs.
In the Grst place, his nose is guarded by
a valye PLACED op The top OF hls head
and when the porpoise brsathhes le comes
to the surface and takes a deep lnsplFa-
ton. Ket . drop Of water, ever gets in.
But how does hs york his valve and
keep the water out OF his lglgg Wben he
is asleep2 The answer to this question
cannot be given yet. Mr.. Buckland in
tends to strdy the subject when next he
has a live porpeise at the Brighton
aquarium.
