Why, what is thé watter with him?" : The man, who was by this time very near them, and with his axe upon his shoulder, and with one hand extended, had been making 1is curious little bows as he approached, stopped suddenly, the child- ish expression of pleasure on his face changing instantly to one of extreme ter- ror and distress; then, dropping his axe, he rushed through the open gate, and ex- tending both arms, appeared about to snatch the girl from her seat in the sleigh. [To BE coNTINUED.] mitt + --re Burning of Martin Luther's Monastry. An interesting historical relic, or rather a whole collection of relics, which it is im- possible to replace, have become a prey to the flames, in the ancient city of Erfurt. There stands, says the Pall Mall Gazette, of March 15th, the Augurtine Monastery in which Martin Luther lived and conceived his first idea of a reformation, converted at present into an orphan asylum. A fire suddenly broke out a few days ago; and totally destroyed the most interesting part of the building, in which was Luther's cell and also the room where he first gave shape to his great scheme. In these rooms which have been up to the latest time shown to strangers as curiosities, Luther's Bible was kept, with marginal notes in the reformer's own hand-writing, together with the painting, " Death's Dance " by Beck, and other valuable relics. All of these have been burnt. The pecuniary damage isestimated at about 60,000 thalers the historical loss is incalculable. 1 + ---- CarBoLIC ACID AS A DISINFECTANT, A correspondent writes to the Philadelphia Ledger that the use of carbolic acid as a disinfectant and curative agent ia small. pox and other contagious diseases should be universally known. Dr' Burgess, of of small-pox I have tested the disinfectant. and prophylactic power of carbolic acid in" a way that leaves no doubt in my mind of its superior merit. Indeed during the latter part of the course of the epidemic, I trusted to it exclusively. In thirty-six instances of its exclusive use the disease spread in but one, and that was ina family of very filthy habits, where cleanli- ness and proper nursing were unattainable. Carbolic acid in a fluid form is a cheap article. To disinfect an appartment two or three teaspoonfuls may be put in a smal! bucket of water and scattered about Mr. Horace Landon rose deliberately from the arm-chair in which he was seat- ed, when the young girl, her hand extend- ed, and a smile of welcome on her face that brought every dimple in play, came straight forehead, eyes as black as coal, set deep in his head, and the other features a position she will occupy!

This the large: portion of the- American press fully ad mit. What nonsense, then, it is for the writer in the New York Tribune to under- take to lecture Canada on matters of politi- cal economy, of which he can evidently know nothing at all, or on Canadian busi- ness affairs, of which he knows less. High tariffs cannot benefit the former, becanse it is uot the home. market. Moreover, under a high tariff system he must pay more for almost every article he is eam pelled to buy. Now, in answer to the above, it is not necessary in this latitude to say that in- stead of paralysis having arrested develop- ment and shrunk the sinews of all their industries, and caused " impoverished laborers to fly in alarming throngs to the United Suaces, to avoid inevitable pauper- ism ;" the country was never in a more prosperous condition than it is at this yery moment. Every class of industry is thriv- ing ; manufactures are extending fland multiplying in every direction throughout the,country, that there never was a fime when farm hands were in greater requisi- tion, and that Canadian commerce has driven American ¢ mmerce from the great ! inland lakes. All these facts are patent ( to every man in Canada who knows any- | thing at all about the condition of the country. Canada is to-day in all branch: s Mr. A. P. Burrus, of Janesville, is try- ig to spur up the good peopleof that burg, into subscribing for stock in the ** Amphibioys Locomotive." This hybrid Mr. Landon had taken his seat in the isto run on a railroad, 30 feet broad, from the Atlantic to-Lake Erie. The road is to be built out into the lake, about 23 | feet below the surface, for some distance. ' Wait « moment, please," she said.-- | When the machine comes to the jumping- { off place, a new set of wheels is put into requisition, and the locomotive becomes a steamboat. A similar contrivanc: allows it to come up on dry land at Detroit, and. | thence it travels on another broad-guage road, to Lake Michigan. It is to be suffi ciently large to carry a vessel of 300 tons, so that all necessity for ship canals will be done away with. The rate of speed is to be 125 wiles per hour on land, and 25 miles in water. In factin the words of the inventor, *' we shall surpass the eagle in its fleotness." We fully coincide with Mr. Burrus in his opinion that this is the greatest improvement of the age. 7 EvorEMENT. --A young couple, hymen- ially intent, passed through Oil City, Pa., on a lste train the other night. They got on the Oil Creek train at a point near Titusville, and took the Valley cars down the river. The young gentleman, it seems, has not had much fo do with the ways of the world, as he had ho Thesi- tancy in telling the story to another pas- senger. It was the old tale of parental cruelty. The girl's father had forbidden him the house, and to make assurance doubly sure, had purchased a bull-dog and placed steel traps all around the house to prevent the possibility of stolen happi- ness. But love laughs at bull-dogs and traps, as well as at locks. This is the way they put it upon the old man: The girl stole the bull-dog's dinner, three times in succession, which had a tendency to make the dog hungry, as it were. Then the chap went one night with a piece of meat, pickerel spoon anda rope He can iit one of the old man's colts and got him np near to the house, baited the hook with meat, tied on the rope, fastened the other end to the colt"s tail, and when he felt a a bite, slapped the colt.

It appears from the a:- count given by the Albany Journal, that Mr. Hoxie, of Albauy, was conducting to Poughkeepsie Denis R. Sheridan, " young lawyer recently taken insane. On the way, while engaged in conversation, Sheridan heard the handcuffs rattle in Mr. Hozxie's pocket. The former asked to sec them, and, when his request was complied with, he slipped them into his own pocket. They had progressed several miles farther, 'when Sheridan adroitly turned the con: versation upon lunatics und the mode of procedure in lodging them in an asylum, Mr. Hoxie explained that it was necessary in order to confine a lunatic in an asylum, to have a certificate of two phywsicians that such a person was insane, and a com- itment from the County Judge.
