A Novel Criminal Charge.

Among the cases mol pressed at the
criminal term of the Supreme Court at
Rockland, says the Eastern ArgaS, was
an indictment against DIR. James ID.
Montgomery, formerly of Washington,
this State, but now Of Boston, which
charged him with an ofense against
common decency in removing the head
after death from John Swinburne, a
Revolutionary warrior, 10 see if bullet
was not lodged there, as Mr.. Swinburne
constantly asserted, and before his
death requested the Doctor TO make the
examination in the interest of medical
science. At the time much excitement
was caused by this case, principally by
the Doctors enemies, but his release
gives general satisfaction.

Il the Center or the Earth Molten
Mass.

The London Spectator says: A re-
markable address has been delivered
by Sir William Thomson, in the Physi-
cal Section of the British Association,
on the fluid or solid nature OF the
earth's kernel.
While not denying that certain por-
tons of the earth's interior are in n
molten or fluid state, Sir William
Thomson maintained, on various more
or less reconcile grounds, that no large
proportion of the earth's interior can,
by any possibility, be in the condition
of molten fluid. ~ may say, with al
most perfect certainty, that whatever
may be the relative densities of rock,
solid and melted, at or about the tenn
perature of liquefaction, il is, think,
quite certain that cold solid rock is
denser than hot melted rock; and no
possible degree of rightly in the crust
could prevent il from breaking in pieces
and sinking wholly below the liquid
lava. Something like this may have
gone on, and probably did go on, for
thousands of years after solidifcation
commenced-surface portions of the
melted material losing heat, freezing
and sinking Immediately, or growing to
the thickness of few meters where
the surface would be cool, and the
whole solid dense enough to sink. This
process must go on until the sunk por-
tons Of crust build up from the bottom
a sufficiently close-ribbed skeleton or
frame TO allow fresh incrustations to
remain, bridging across the now small
areas of lava pools or lakes"
This is a striking picture of the
growth of the Ground earth, (which was
once supposed TO have been made from
the first $50 fast that il can not be
moved" We are rather sorry 10 be
robbed of the belief in the central lava
ocean after all

sAcREDNEss OF PROMISE.

An eminent British statesman is
said to have traced his own sense of
the sacredness of promise, to Gu
rious lesson he got from his father
when a boy. When home for the
holidays, and walking with his faith
er in the garden, his father pointed
to wall which he intended to have
pulled down.
"Oh,' said the boy, 81 should so
like to see wall pulled down"
"WeIl, my boy, you shall" said
bis father.
The thing however escaped his
memory, and during the boys alb
sencc a number of improvements
were being made, among others the
pulling down of this wall and the
building of new one in its place.
When the boy came home and
saw it, he said, so father, you prom
iscd to let me see that wall pulled
down"
Instantly the father remembered
his promise, and was deeply panied
to think that he had seemed careless
Of his pIighted word.
"My boy" he said, "yOu are right,
l did promise, and | ought not to
have forgotten. 1t is too late now to
do Just what | said would, but you
wanted to see wall pulled down
and so you shall"
And be actually ordered the mas
sons up and made them pull down
and rebuild the new wall, that as
nearly as possible his promise might
be made good.
st cost me twenty pounds" he
said to friend who was bantering
him about it, "but," he added sol
EMMY, ''if it had cost me hundred,
l should have thought it cheap way
of impressing upon my boys mind,
as long as he lives, the importance a
man Of honor should attach to his
plighied word.

RIDICULE.

1t is very easy to ridicule any one
or any thing, any belief or any theO-
ry-to sheer, and smile, and say
smart things; but after all, ridiGule
proves nothing. Almost every dis
coyery or invention has been the
subject of ridicule at some time. No
body could laugh enough at the idea
that the world was round, when the
fact was first suggested. AS for the
steamboat, there are people still liv>
ing who remember when it was be-
leyed to be the dream of mailman.
Theories, that we do dot understand,
propositions that We cannot comprc
bend, are apt to set us sneerlng, and
odd garments are an untailing source
OF amusement to almost every one
Certainly, it is always wise to look
like other people, as far as dress
goes; but the ungsiuly creature is an
antediluvian hat and coat may be
your superior, moasieus, despite your
daucing~master. And you, msde>
moiselle, who are so near perfection
in matters Of the toilette, may not be
50 near heaven as the old lady with
the yellow hand-basket, blue umbreI
Ia and red pocket>haudkerchief. As
for personal misfortune, what can be
said Of any one who finds there
subject for ridicule. A deformed fig
ure, a haultiug gait, s!ammering
speech these should and do excite
sympathy, not ridicule, in all noble
bosOms.
Ridicule is a weapon which, if aim.
ed at contemplate actions and the
meaner vices, may sometimes do
good. bat it is a dangerous one, save
in wise hands. Think twice before
you use it, and hapiy you may save
Yourself from mocking one the hem
IF whose garment you are not worthy
o kiss.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

About month ago Alexander Scott,
a farmer living near Uherry Hill,
Md, INDUCED in an exchange of
horses. The horse he secured was
a fine looking animal, but at the time
was suffering from some disease OF
the head. Mr.. Scott believed it to
be 'distemper,' and did not object to
running the risk. About two weeks
ago Mr.. SCOTS hand began to in>
flame from a slight wound on the
back of it, and became in few days
a very ugly ulcer, causing him a
great deal of pain.
Last week he became sick of a
fever. and DR.. Carter was called in.
He found the patient suffering from
fever, but detected nothing different
from an ordinary case of intermittent
fever, and prescribed the usual rem
edies. DR.. Carter having occasion
to leave home, and the fever not
abating, DIR. Ellis, OF ElktOn, was
asked to attend Mr.. Scott At DR..
L S first visit, last Saturday, he pre-
scribed for intermittent fever, having
first inquired about the sore hand
and being told that it had nearly heal
ed The next day, however, he
found Mr.. Scott suffering with a rag
ing fever and covered with button
farcy.' The disease was unismtak a
bly, 'glsnders, and had been commu
nicated from the gIandered horse
through the break in the skin of the
hand. Mr.. Scott suffered the most
fearful agony and deirium througho
out the day and into the night of
Sunday, when death eusued.
Cases of persons suffering from
'gIanders' are very rare, but occur
often enough to remind horsemen
that the proper way to deal with a
horse suffering from this fatal disease
is to have him killed at once. A
borse may have chronic 'glanders'
and live a long time, keep fat and
work without difficulty, yet 10.
