A good Speck. A young lady in London, who was handsome and had a fortune of twelve thousand pounds, while the was buying some other smail things from a young shop keeper, with whom 6'e had some trilling acquaintance, took a piece of 1' lander's lice, and, out of mere gaiety and frolic, went hastily out without paying him for it.

Dr. Thompson, a celebrated physician, and a remarkably slovenly person could not endure the sight of muffins. At breakfast, one morning a plate of muffins being introduced, the doctor grew outrageous, and called out "Take away the muff

Mirdkr. A most brutal and unprovoked muri'er was lately perpetrated by a gambler on board tie Etcimboat Sclma, on her passage down the Mississippi. The unfortunate victim was a young iitrvor, a Mr. Allen, from Murfrecsborough, in th; state, who had left his friends and home with i view of prosecuting his profession in Mississippi. The subject of gambling and gamblers awakening timmoa discussion among the passengers, Mr. Allen expressed himself in very free terms against tlis latter. At some of his remarks a person stuped opto him and observed "I am a gambler -lure von any personal allusion!" To which

Allen replied he had none, but that his opinion was tiiesame. At which the gambling assassin drew from Lis bosom a tremenduous Bowie knife, and

trkinu it downward into the breast of A lien, near

ly laid it open. Allen was conveyed to his berth,

)mtin a few hours had bo far recovered as to rue

from Lis berth with a pistol, and finding his attempted murderer, snapped it in his bosom; it missed fire owing to the cap having fallen off; he then beat the wretch over the head with the butt

il of the pistol until he fainted from exertion and

wsscanied to his berth, where in a day or two he

died from his bleeding breast. The gambler was

seaced. and is now confined in the calaboose in

New Orleans. He ia said to be in possession of

much monev. the fruit no doubt of robbery or mur

iti and that he has employed the ablest counsel

ia New Orleans to manage his defence.

By the Nashville Banner of the 24th we learn

that the murderer's name is Hamilton Taylor, for

one Sunday, at the close of his services, gave no

week, he expected to go on a mission to the heathen.

The members of his church were struck with alarm

and sorrow at the sudden and unexpected announce

A. Lad killed by a Panther. The Ogden

burgh Republican relates the following melan

eislv incident, the particulars of which are given

ly the father of the boy who lost his life. He was caW 12 vears of ase, and was hunting alone in

the vicinity of Indian Camp, near Black Lake

His father had promised to come to him on hearin

the report of his gun, which he did and found his

son lying in the paws of a Panther, the panther wagging his tail, and appearing much pleased with

his prize. The boy told his father he had shot at the panther and wounded him, when the animal

sprung and caught him before he could retreat; and

as there was no chance for his life he advised his

father to fire, and make as good a shot as possible.

After hesitating what to do, he fired w ith a deadly aha at the panther, but before the animal died it succeeded in teari.ig the boy to pieces.
