Upon its arrival, the certificate of I the physician who had attended him was discovered to be somewhat informal, and the advice of the Board of Health was asked. It was at last concluded to open the oases, and when this was done a pe? culiar flush was notioed in the man's faoe, and an examination proved that life was not extinct, The best medical aid was immediately called in, aud it was thought possible to remove the captain with safety to the Bellevue Hospital, where he now is. He is not only doiig well, bat there is every probability of his speedy and permanent recovery. How he existed confined within these airless cases pastes comprehension.

An exchange tells the following inci? dent: Recently a lady, while riding in an ominbus, became awaro that the "gontlemau" on her right was feeling for her pocket under her oloak. For a moment a cold shiver passed through her, but as it was broad daylight, aud as there were evidently many persons in tho omnibus to whom she might apply for protection, she took courage, aud reoolleoting that in the dress she wore her pocket bad, muoh to her previous annoyance, been' sewed on the wrong side of tho skirt, oonoludod to sit still and await the course of events. After having been sufficiently entertained by the vain efforts of her neighbor to find herpooket, she turned to him and said, quietly, "My pocket is on the other side, sir." The man immediately jumped up, pulled the strap, and disap? peared with most amazing rapidity, tho contemptuous coolness of the lady having been too muoh for his artistic nerves.

I Th^3^^BeDob Railbcad a Bank bu?j\?Somo iizis in J*audry of the present year a petition was filed in the United States District Court in session in this city, by James P. Dow, praying tbat the Blpe Bidge Railroad Company in this State be declared bankrupt. The pMitldn, whioh was published at the Urn*;..?tat?? that the petitioner is a creditor of the Blue Bid go Railroad in eutE Carolina; that h% believes that the d obfyoration owes debts to the peti? tioner in the. sum of $1,125, which were never paid, it also alleges that the said company has committed an not of bank? ruptcy in suspending, and not resumed payment of its commercial paper, and in neglecting to pay the amount due upon its coupons duo upon 8231,000 of its bonds. And as a further act of bank? ruptcy it states that the company suffer? ed its property to be taken in legal pro? cess iu favor of J. W. Qreen, of New York, npon a judgment of the Supreme Oourt of the State of New York for the sum of $205,118.30, which judgment was entered by default. The petition concludes with a prayor tbat the com? pany be adjudged bankrupt, and that a warrant may ba issued to take possession of its property. Upon the filing of this petition an order was issued by the eourt oiting the company to appear in court on the 18th day of February, 1873, and show cause why it ebould not be adjudged a bankrupt. The time came on, and the oompaoy failed to mako a proper showing, and ou Tuesday last a decree wus issued declaring tbo road bankrupt. An assignee has not yet been appointed, but it ia supposed that the oourt will designate Mr. Dow, the peti? tioning creditor, to act in tho premises. [Charleston News.

Thb Danbuht Nawe Man,?Mr. James Montgomery Bailey, 61 tho Danbury News, whose good things, credited to that papor or not credited, are found in all the journals, is a native of Albany, and was born in 1841. His father was killed when James was a ohild. His mother afterward married a gentleman from Borne, N. Y., and at that place and in Albany the family lived until 1860, when they moved fo Danbury, Ot. At this time, James was 'eighteen years of age. He had a free raoge of the pnblio schools, though at that time, like moat boys, he preferred business. He ohecked tbiB inclination, however, and remained at cahool nntil bis arrival at Danbury, where he worked with^ns step-father at carpentry until August, 1862. Then came the war, and with it the Danbury youth took his first practical lessons in original composition, sending letters home from the field.

The New Translation of the Bible.

Tho bishop is of the opinion,, moreover, that the English publio will hesitate before they accept the revised translation. The Philadelphia Pres? thinks that mauy men who "fought down the re? bellion," have been "extravagantly re? warded for poor services," whioh is true; for we know a man -not personally, thank goodness?who did nothing more to put down the rebellion than any corporal in the army could have done, and yet that man is now being rewarded, with a salary of $50,000 a year.
