FOR A PNEUMATIC RAILWAY.
—A party of engineers are engaged in
u ‘ g so “'"lings across the Hast and
North rivers, wi|», £ view to locating a
tine tor the pneumatic tubes with which
it U proposed t,, u „\ te Kew York Ci
with Brooklyn and Jersey City. The
work is done under the direction of Mr.
Davidson, the engineer of the Union
Pneumatic Railway Company, r, eenU
organized to carry out the above men
tioned project. It ie said thatthe result
of the examination is favprable to the
accomplishment ot the undertaking.
History or W. Tell,—W, Tell was
a supposed myth, who livdd ’in the
Sleuth century ; also, iff Switserland.
e killed a man, named Gesler, for
putting his hat on a pole, sot which
circumstance he was called the “gather
of Liberty.” Go thou and do likewise I
Richmond County Superior Court.
—ln this Court, yesterday, the case of
the State vs. Daniel Farrar, horse steal
ing, was tried ; Attorney General Jno.
P. C. Whitehead and Jno. C. Black
Esq., for the State ; Hons. A. H. Ste
phens, Linton Stephens, and H. W.
Hilliard, Esq., for the defence. The
speeches on both sides were capital
specimens of forensic eloquence; and
and at a late hour the case was given to
the jury.
The jury in the case of Jim. Williams,
Awed the day previous, had not yet
agreed upon a verdict last night.
Theatre Matinee. —At the request
of numerous persons who cannot attend
the night performance, Mi. Watkins has
consented to give a Matinee this after
noon at 3 o'clock. He has selected for
this occasion the pleasing medley of
“Two Hours in Fuuland,” and the won
derful shadow pantomime, or a “Trip to
the Moon,” a novelty that is now attrac'
ting great applause throughout the
country.
To-night will be presented Mrs. South
worth’s great drama of the “Hidden
Hand,” which has been played by Mr.
and Mrs. Watkins more than five hun
dred nights in Europe and America.
Shakspeake, Altered to Suit Cir
cumstances. —The two respectable old
dailies (so called) of this City exclaimed,
practically, in the language of Shaks
peare; “Help us! Cash, us! or we
sink 1” and we helped ’em, cashed ’em,
to the tune of SSOO apiece. What a
pleasure it is that the People’s Organ
should thus be able to sustain itself and
give such a handsome contribution to
its cotemporaries! It is not only a
source of pleasure, but of pride ; but
they must try and depend on themselves
hereafter, for support; tor we can't af
ford to be so generous every day.
Recorder’s Court. —There were
several eases on the docket of this
Court, yesterday, but most of them
were continued. The following were
disposed of:
A 16th section ease—leaving a cellar
door open after sun down—was fined
$1 and costs.
A 12th section case—butchering a
cow in the City —was fined $1 and costs.
An 18th section case—fighting—was
fined $3.50 and costs.
A 20th section case —resisting an offi
cer in the discharge of his duties—was
fined $5 and costs.
And the rest were continued.
A Handsome Specimen of Typo
graphy.—Having seen a notice in the
Louisville (Ky.) Courier of a Counting
Hou: e Calendar, beautifully gotten up
we felt a curiosity to see it, and sent
for a copy, which has been received.
It is really a handsome specimen of the
typographic art ; and we can well say,
as a practical printer of twenty years’
experience, that we have never seen
anything superior to it in«point of
arrangement and execution. It cer
tainly reflects great credit upon the
Courier Job Printing Establishment,
and particularly upon the Printer who
got it up —Mr. Patrick Kelly, who, by
tfie way, is “a native Georgian.”
City Taxes. —We invite special at
tention to the Tax Notice of the Clerk
of Council, in this morning’s paper.
Those who give in quarterly returns to
the Assistant Collector should bear in
mind that that does not relieve them
from the necessity of calling at the
Clerk’s office to make their other returns,
if they have any to make, of course, such
as bonds, money at interest, horses, car
riages, buggies, hydrants,, capital of
banks, brokets, gas,, insurance, and
other companies located in the City,
real estate, etc. If parties owning any
property fail to make returns, within the
time allowed by law, they are subject to
be double taxed and fined $lO per day
for each day of default. The Clerk is
anxious to preserve the, tax-paying
public from this trouble, and, therefore,
earnestly invite# them, all to make their
returns as soon as possible. Read the
notice.
The Weather. — Local incidents are
dull, aavte the weather, which, for a few
days, has been decidedly sharp. During
the week it has ranged through nearly
all degrees of the thermometer, running
almost up to summer hriat, and then
falling to the freezing point. It has
been as fickle as a flirt—now warm and
beautiful as sweet sixteen—now cold
and chilly as the shady side of thirty.
At. this stage of our reflections, a
blithe canary by our window carols forth
a song as cheery as though no winds
were whistling round the gables, and we
feel almost ashamed of our own sensi
tiveness ts the freaks of the weather. If
this Ijttle songster the tropics can
stamj it, out there, in his cold, gloomy
cage, why sh«iul4'lwe complain, with
coal glowing in the grate, and the sooth
ing wreath# of Nelson’s best curling
from our meerebaom. So let those who
are weatherwise, or otherwise, indulge
no dread of future cold or heat, but learn
a lesson of endurance and content from
the blithsome bird, who sings’ alike
amid thine and storm.

DAkrtto übffiltjE.— Ale
Journal gives a thrilling account of an
attack by ten or twelve desperadoes, on
the premises of Mr. Wm. Hartley, eight
miles from that city, a few days ago-
They surrounded tke building and noti
fied tho inmates not to open t|)e doors
on pain of death, while they proceeded
to ptunflof tfio smokcliouse. Mp. Hart
ley loaded bis guns, with bncksbot, and
on opening the door, received three
shots, which did him little injury. He
then jumped ioto the yard and exhausted
his loads, when he went back, reloaded,
and giving one gun to a negro, went
out again. By this time the villains
were rnnnitig' in confusion to • the boat
landing near by, aad fucfceedjld in
getting off. He found bis meat in bags
about the yard, and missed nothing of
value. The ground was freely marked
with traces of blood. The thieves were
all believed to be freed men. The brave
and deliberate conduct of Mr. Hartley
alone saved his provisions, and perhaps
the lives of himsell and family.
Heavy Men. —Daniel Lambert weigh
ed 724 pounds and a fraction. A man
recently died in New York, weighing
500 pounds. A correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, alluding to the
above, says , < ,
The largest man I ever saw was a
gentleman who was postmaster many
years ago at the Salines in Kanawha.
His weight, I have heard, was consider
ably over 500. I do not recollect bis
name. He and the celebrated General
Smith, of Kanawha, lived together. It
was said that the General weighed 350,
and his chum 200 more.
In the olden time the tainous Jack
Willis, of facetious memory, was thought
by his friends in Richmond to be the
largest man in Virginia until he met
with Jack Spencer, of Amherst county,
who weighed him and two 56’s down.
Willis weighed upwards 0f.400. Spenser
was an uncommonly active man, and
the best jig dancer of his day.
Capture and Escape of a Young
Lady from the Comanche In
dians.
The Leavenworth Bulletin gives an
account of the capture and escape of
Miss Sarah Jane Luster from the Co
manche Indians, which possesses much
interest. She was living in Texas with
a family named Babb. Some months
aco, during the absence of Mr. Babb, a
band ot No-con-ak Comanches came to
the house. They were invited in by the
children of Mrs. Babb, but refused un
til satisfied that there were no men
about the premises. Then they went in
and attempted to carry off one cf the
children. Mrs. Babb, inspired by a
mother’s love for her children resisted,
and clung to ber child with desperation ;
whereupon, one of the savages went be
hind, seized her by the hair, drew her
back, a'nd cut her throat.
This horrid deed was committed
under the eye of Miss Luster, who had
taken refuge in the upper part of the
cabin, and so shocked her as to cause
a groan of agony, thus leading to the
discovery of her presence. She was
immediately captured (leaving a sleep
ing babe in tile caldn), and taken to
the Indian camp. Miss Luster formed
the heroic purpose of immediate escape
from the horrors of her captivity. She
soon discovered a horse of greal speed,
kept for rminiug purposes by the In
dians, and conceived a plan to mount
it, and leave in a direction from which
the Indians bad brought green corn,
from a six days’ absence; thus showing
a settlement within three days’ ride.
Her preparation all complete, she was
frustrated by the barking of dogs, and
compelled to retire to her lodge. The
second effort was made during a dark
and stormy night, that drove both
savages and dogs within doors.
She could not take both the children,
but the eldest, a boy, mounted the horse
and left. The first day and night ex
hausted the boy, and he was left to find
his way back, or perish upon the road.
After three days and nights ot continu
ous riding, she becoming completely
prostrated with fatigue and anxiety, tied
the horse by a lariat to her ho ly, and
laid down for rest;’she fell asleep, to
awake a captive once more to the In
dian : this time to the Kiowas. She
was taken to the camp of her new cap
tors, only ,to reorganize her plans of
eseape, preterring death in an effort for
liberty rather than life, in her horrid
captivity. Once more she escaped with
her.chosen steed, aud after days of weary
travel arid nights of sleepless anxiety,
reached the Santa Fe road, sixty miles
east of Cow Creek, Col. Leavenworth’s
headquarters. Her escape was imme
diately reported by the Kiowas to the
Colonel, and, at tbe same time, by a
white man who had seen her at the
rariehe. Col. Leavenworth immediately
sent an escort, bringing her to Council
Grove. Miss Luster, together with
ao.other liberated captive, named Johu
Charles Fremont Houston, are at Coun
cil Grove now. The latter was captured
by a small baud of Tau-a-gway Coroan
ches, or liver eaters, and was rescued
from them by Tab-a-nam-a ca, bead
chief of one of the Yam-per-re-ker. or
root eater#, and delivered by him to Col.
Leavenworth.
