Hundreds are burnt to death in consequence of explosious of campbino lamps and cnmphlne vessels, and as the public is generally not vory careful in investigating the cause of the conflagrations, it oflen happens that the damage is ascribed to the harmless burning fluid. Tho use of the campliine should bo interdicted by the authorities ; but it would be unjust to demand the same with regard to the burning fluid.

E. K. Legend of the Supernatural. There is a talc, reported by Lord Lyttloton, (we mean, of course, the younger of that name,) which shows lite tendency in the minds of even the shrewdest men of the world to give respcc'fu! audience to the marvelous and supernatural. It may be found in the twenty-tirst of Lord LvUleton's letters. He says that in the early part of the life of t one of his friends, ho attended a hunting club, when a well-mounted stranger, of genteel address, joined the club, and rode with a courage and address that astonished everybody. The aniniul he rode is described as one of nmnziug powers and endurance. The huntsmnn, who was left far behind, swore that the man nnd his horse were devils from hell. After tho sport, he was invited to dinner, nnd astonished the company as much by liis conversational Sowers nnd llie elegnnco of his manners, as y his equestrian powers. ITc was, says Lord Lyttleton, an orator, a painter, a poet, a musician, a lawyer, a divine?in short, ho was everything, and tho magic of his discourse kept the drowsy sportsmen awake long after their usual hour. At fourth they reliicd, but had scarcely ciosca ineir eyes when they were awakened by the most lerriblo shrieks resounding through ihe house. Inquiring of ihe servants, they were told that these horrid sounds proceeded from ihe stranger's chnm ber, and on approaching his room, deei?cr groans of despair and shriller slnicks of agonv astonished and terrified them. After knocking at the door, he answerer! them as one just awakened from sleep, declared he had heard no noise, and, in* rather angry tones, desired not to bo disturbed again. The company accordingly retired, and scarcely begun to communicate their sentiments to each other, when n repetition of the most horrible sounds broke in upon their conversation?yells, scream*, shrieks, which, from ihe horror of them, seemed to issue froin the throats of damned and tortured spirits. They immediately followed the sounds, and traced them to the stranger's chamber, the door of which they in ,t.. i . -? ? Btuuwy uurhi open, una louna turn on Ins knees in bed, in (he set of scourging himself with the most unrelenting severity, his body streaming with blood. On their seizing his hand to slop the strokes, he begged them, in the most wringing tone of voice, as an act of mercy, that they would retire, assuring them that the cause of their disturbance was over, and that in the morning he would acquaint them with tho reasons of the terrible cries they had heard, and the melancholy sight they saw. After a repetition of entreaties, they retired, and in tho morning aomo of thein wont to his chamber, but he was not there; and on examining the bed, they found it to be one gore of blood. Upon further inqui ry, the groomsman said, as soon as it was light, the gentleman came to his stable booted and spurred, desired his horse might be immediately saddled, and appeared to be extremely impatient (ill it was done, when he vaulted into his saddle, and rode out of the yard at full speed. Servants were immediately despatched into every part of the snrrounding country, but not a single trace of him could be found; such a person had not been seen by any one, nor has been I since nearu or. Loru Lyitleton ptoceeds to stato that the circumstances cf this strange story t.ere immediately committed to writing, and signed by all who witnessed them, that the future credibility of any one, who should think proper to relate theni, might be duly supported. Among thoso who witnessed it were some of the first men in England. The charm of tbie marvelons narrative, in which Lord Lyttleton evidently suspocted something supernatural, is somewhat dispelled by the fact that, about the date of the narrative, an American gentleman, by the name ot linger, of Booth Carolina, visited England, who was just such a person as described above, as line a horseman, a man of very elegant manners and splendid powers of conversation, but who had the ugly habit of whipping himself in his sleep, precisely as dctorioed by Lord Lyttleton. The Lost Child and the Dcfg One of the most striking instances which we have heard of the Ragacity and personal attachment of the shepherd's dog, occurred f, about half a century ago, in the Grampian mountains of Scotland. e In ono of his excursions to his distant J] flocks in the high' pasturages, a shepherd t happened to carry along with him ono of }i his children, an infant about thiee years r old. After traversing his pasture for some f UUic, attended by his dog, the shepherd f found himself under the necessity of ascend- <] ing a summit at some distance, to have a < more extensive view of bis range. As the c ascent wns too fatiguing for the child, he left |, him on a small plain of the bottom, with a strict injunctions not to stir from it until his 1 return. Scarcely, however, had ho gained a the summit, when the horizon was suddenly t darkened by one of those impenetrable mists, t which frequently descend so rapidly amidst these mountains, as, in tho ipacc of a few \ minutes, almost to turn day into night.? s The anxious father instantly hastened back 11 to find his child ; but owing to the unusual I r darkness, and his own trepidation, ho unfor- . | tunaieiy missed bis way in the descent.? t After a fruitless search of many hours among t the dangerous morasses and cataiacts with I which these mountains abound, he was at t length overtaken by night. Still wander- , ing on, without knowing whither, ho at , length came to the verge of the mist, and , by the light of the moor., discovered that he j had reached the bottom of his valley, and . was w ithin a short distance of his cottage. | To renew tlio search that night was equally | fruitless and dangerous. He was therefore < obliged to return to bis cottage, having lost , both his child and bis dog, which had at- ) tended him faithfully for years. I Next morning by daybreak, the shepherd, < accompanied by a band of his neighbors, , set out in search of the child, but, after a < day spent in fruitless fatigue, he was at j length compelled by the approach of night, j to descend from the mountain. On return- | ing to his cottage, he found that the dog. f which he had lost the day before, had been | home, and, on receiving a piece of cako, had , instantly gone otF again. i For several successive days the shepherd , renewed the search for his child ; and still, ( on returning at evening disappointed to his cottage, he found that his dog had been hotne, and, on receiving his usual allowance of cake, had instantly disappeared. Struck s with this singular ciicumstnnce, he remain- J ed at home one day, and when the dog, as usual, came and departed with his piece of 1 cake, ho resolved to follow him, and find i .L - ? 1 out me cause or mis strange procedure.? 1 Tlie dug led the way to a cataract, at some J distance from the spot where the shepherd * hud left his child. The bank? of the cataract ' almost joined at the top, yet seperated by an J abyss of immenso depth, presented that appearance which so often asloni>hes ami ap- 1 pals the travelers who ficquent the Grain- 1 piar. mountains, and indicates, that these 1 stupendous chasms were not tho silent work of time, but the sudden effect of some vio ' lent convulsion of tho earth. Down one of < these rugged and most perpendicular dc- 1 cents, the dog began without hesitation to 1 mnko his way, and at last disappeared in a 1 cave, tho mouth of which was almost level ' with the torrent. The shepherd with diffi- I culty followed; but on entering tho cave, ' what were his emotions when he beheld his ? infant, eating with much satisfaction the 1 cake which the dog had just brought him, 1 while tho faithful animal stood by, eyeing < bis young charge with the greatest compla 1 cency. From llie situation which the child was 1 found, it appears that he had wandered to < the brink of the precipice, and then eithei ? fallen or scrambled down till he readied the * cave, which the drend of tho torrent had ' prevented hiin from quitting. Tho dog by < inoans of his scent, had traced him to the 1 spot, and afterwards prevented him from 1 stnrving, by giving up to him his daily al- ' lowanco. llo appeals never to have quitted 1 the child by night or day, except when it was necessary to go for his food, and then he was always seen running at full speed to I and from the cottage. J Painful IlitTRinuTioN, if Tuuk.?The J Newport Spectator says there is a young ' man in a town of Vermont, who cannot ' speak to his father. Previous to his birth, some difference arose between his mother and ( Her husband, and. for a considerable time, ' I she refused 10 speak to h?w. The difficulty 1 was subsequently healed?(bo child was 1 | bom and in due lime began to talk?but ( when sitting with his father was invariably ' silent. It continued so until he was five 1 years old, when the father, having exhaust- 1 ed his powers of persuas'on, threatened it I with punishment for its stubbornness. When ' the punishment was inflicted, it elicited * nothing but sighs and groans, which told but too plainly that the little sufferer was vainly endeavoring to speak. All who were present united in this opinion, that ii was ' impossible for the child to speak to his fa * tier?and time proved their opinion to be correot. At a maturer age its efforts to eon- ? verso with He parent could only produce bit ter sighs and groans. B* hemeat, boys. u A Touching Incident TItKLOVKOF A CHILD. The Rochester Democrat furnishes the 1 allowing interesting item. It says: The death of a lovely child was mention-. d in our paper n few dnya ago, and we j iave just hoard of an incidentconntc'ed with : hat event which touches all the tender feelngj> of the human heart. Among the nany destitute children who dnilyscok their nod from door to door, is a small girl who requeully went to the house where the little lecensed boy lived. Sometimes she lingered for a few moments, and by degices be:nme acquainted with and attached to this ovely child, until Anally she often remained j i long while, and shared in its amusements, j The sequel shows that during this time an ittachment was formed, the strength and cndeiness of which was only known when he little one was cold in death. The evening before the funeral, this little >eggar girl went to the kitchen, tho place he was accustomed to tro. and remained tnlil after nine o'clock, hoping, ns has since j ippcared, to get a glimpse of the corpse of ler little friend. When the procession start- j :d for Mt. Hope she was observed l>y an incic of the deceased to be near, and sobdng ns though her heart was broken, but 10 ono know the cause of Iter grief. Ar ived at the entrance of the place of burial, the was again seen, having walked and run ill the way in a warm day, tho sweat pouring from her sunburnt face anil brow, and die panting for breath. She followed on to the grave, and after the services and lite lowering of tho little sleeper to his final Barthly rest, the apparently friendless stranger was questioned as to the cause of her jrief; and then, for the first time, it was bund that she was grieved as only her sobs iould toll, at the loss of the little child, whol vlien she came upon her daily errand, had attained it-elf around her heart. That little I jirl, the child of poor parents?goes in the dainest garh; it may be soiled and torn? icr feet bare, and her whole appearance, so hi as dress is concerned, indicating extreme loverly ; but U' der all this, if the incident illttded to is an index to what the eye can tot see, she lias a heart containing a jewel \hich God himself will give a place in his >wn crown. Gymnastics in Swedish Schools. Special pains ate taken in the public cliools of Sweden to developc the physical is well as intellectual powers of the pupils. L'he following is given of the system which he Swedes pursue : 44 Every school building has its large high oom, with earthen or malted floor, and all iorls of implements for developing the musties?ladders, poles, wooden horses, crossbars up to the roof, jumping places, ropes or swinging, knotted ropes for climbing, <kc. lhe scholars are not allowed to exercise on vhat they wish, hut there arc regular traind squads, and move and march, sometimes .o music, at the v/ord of command. 44 At a huge public school in Stockholm, I saw the lads in their noon lessons of gymnastics. Tho lonelier gnvo lite word and n dozen sprang out towaid a tall polo with :ross-lmrs, and, clumering up it, each hung with his legs; then, at the word, all together dropped their heads bnekwatds, and hung jy the feet and ankles, then again recovered themselves, and let themselves down. An>ther party, one after the other, squirmed ip a naked mast; another pulled themselves ip hand over hand on a knotted rope; oth;rs, in succession, played leap frog over a ? i .1 ' * nuuucii uor^o; men, uiey marched to the >eat of the drum.

Yesterday the rials were continued. The case of Jacob 5'auts was the first called. Mr. Stants keeps i lager beer saloon in the eastern 'district of Urooklyn, and is indicted for selling intoxicating liquois on Sunday. Several witness in swore that it was intoxicating. In the lefence, witnesses were equally positive tlint t was not. Ono witness swore that lie Irank on h wagor, in the city of Brooklyn, teven and a half gallons of lagor beer in wo hours ! Another, one hundred and six- \ y quarts in one day! Another, thirty tints within five minutes. Another took iftcen glasses to give him an appetite for ireakfast. The ease is stifl on.

When wo reflect that the tremor or t< movement of a muscle may be sufficient to t cause a premature discharge, and that the f deviation of the fraction of an inch to the t ftrecisc aim might terminate fatally to the I ad, the font appears as wonderful as it is e certainly novel. Travis formerly resided in a Saratoga. The font comes off in Louisville, in Juue. The oranges are each to bo 2^inches in diameter; one is placed on the top of his head, and one on the back of ench ? band, the aims being extended. In this po t silion. at the distance of ten paces, or thirty t feet, facing the shooter, and with no inter- t vening object, Capt. John Travis proposes to 8 hit the orange, and has only three shots to ' hit the three oranges. The bov who is to ? support the oranges is ten years of ngo, and 1 a bright nnd sprightly Ih<I. He has every confidence in the ability of Capt. Trnvis to < hit eacli object, and has equally as much in 1 hi* own nerve, which cannot be surpassed. ? lie is now under daily training.
