The railway up the sides OF Mount vesuvius,
just completed, runs along road steep Is a
ladder or fire escape, ana eight hundred and
sixty metres in length; but as regards danger
it is reduced to minimum. It is not train in
which the passenger travels, but . single
carriage, carrying ten persons only, and as the
ascending carriage starts, another, counter
balancing it, comes down from the summit,
the weight Of each being five tons. The
carriages are so constructed that rising or de-
scending, the passenger sits on level plano,
and whatever emotion Of hesitation may be felt
on starting, changes, before one has risen
twenty metres, into feeling ofperfect security.
Dismounting 1t little station Ut the summit,
You can scarcely be said to Chamber to the edge
Of the crater, for the company have cut con-
venient winding path, up which an except the
aged. heavy, or feeble can walk with ease.

Tie breach OF promise case tried in our
Court on Tuesday last, between Amelia G.
Sweet, q buxom widow OF an uncertain age and
Calvin Maflt, a gay young laddy-buck only 70
years old attracted good deal Of attention, and
afforded fine entertainment for the specta
tors, il not for the parties. Amelia, no doubt,
loved Calvin 10 distraction, and the failure Of
the boy to fulfill his contract and take her home
TO his heart for better or for worse and to
shield her young and tender life from the rude
storms and stern trials of harsh world wound
ed her full sore. Young Calvin, by his loving
attentions, and innocent lover-hke caresses,
had doubtless led her to look forward 10 long
and happy married life, and in anticipation she
reviewed their years Of youth and middle age
which they should enjoy together, with family
of loving children growing up by their hearth
stone and thought OF the distant future when
old age should come creeping on. and with
heads whtened for the harvest they should
journey down the hill Of life hand in hand,
happy as when in the freshness and vigor Of
youth they had fret pledged their mutual VOWS
of constancy and love. When she thought of
all she had lost by the fckleness of her young
lover, che wept tears of grief which could only
be assuaged with liberal supply Of filthy
lucre. Hence this suit, and the sympathizing
jury ever mindful OF beauty in distress, and
feeling to condemn young Mafit and punish him
for bis objectionable crime of blIghting poor
Amelia's aspirations, awarded her thousand
dollars, which is only mere bagatelle, compar-
ed to a broken heart.
