Sinking to the position be ordered, the poor lady repeated, “I forgive you ; as God is my judge, Ido ! but save my child, whose father you have killed.” Half doubtful, Stewart looked once more at the prostrate form before him. His fingers clutched, as if ready to tear their prey ; his features lower ed with au expression ot savage hate at the sight ot which the widowed mother's heart was ready to sink within her ; but, struck apparently by aome afterthought, he bid her arise and go away with her child, adding with a significant look after them as they left, “If I could believe you did not forgive me, I would kill you 'both.” Avery short time alter this occurrence, Stewart was taken and received the traitor's doom on the gallows. Ccaious Experiment in a Pneumatic Rail road Tube. —An experiment was recently tried in the Pneumatic Railroad Tube in Lon don, as to what would happen in case one of the cars shonld get stuck tast in the Tube at any point on its journey. A car was accord ingly made fast in such a way that it could not move, and the suction power of the en gines was tried to the uttermost and with most extraordinary effect. Although the car itself could not be moved, yet all the movea bles it contained in the shape of cushions, Ac., jumped out of the cat, and were deli vered at the end of the tube, the. force ex erted being such as to extract the nails that kept down the casket. A Poisoning Cash in Augusta.—The Chronicle and Sentinel, of the 12tb, says: "The sentence of Harriet, a colored girl of thte city, tried for an attempt to poison, hae been promulgated. She put stryebine in but ter sad set it upon the table of Mrs. Martha M. Carter, in whose service she was at the time. The girl plead guilty to the charge, wae found guilty aDd sentenced to three years imprisonment, at such place as the Commanding General might direct. Sentence was afterwards modified to im prisonment for twelve months. The place of confinement is Fort Pulaski. The crime was committed about the tenth of August laM." A Child withThiuce Tongues. —Recently, the wife of John Cranford, slater, Ewe and Lamb Close, Dumfries, Scotland, gave birth to a son, who exhibits the rare, if not unpre cedented, peculiarity of having three tongues. We saw the child, and found it to be seem ingly in excellent health, of full size, and in other respects well formed. The middle tongue is the largest of the three; it is round ed at the top, and is fastened to the lower pert of the palate in such a way as to prevent the ehild sucking readily. Each of the tongues is separated from the other, and those on each side do not appear to cause the infant much inconvenience. The curious malformation does not, to far as appearance go, result from any disease. The child has own -seen by several physicians, and they are of opinion it would be advisable, after he is a little older, to liberate the middle tongue from the palate by an operation. Mean while the Infant is snekied by means of a bottle. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1865. MAIL t'O.VTKAC'TS wavtkd. Re-B.tablUnmrnt a. Jteil Facilities 1m Georg im.
