The philosophy of the matter, we take to be this: the alkali of the salBratus neutralizes the superabundant acid of the cream, and thus produces butter.

 Appalling Scene.-Shrimp, the German who committed the shocking murder on one of his country women in Louisville, Ky, be- cause she would not favor his addresses, was executed in that city on the 17th, but not until after several bungling attempts from the negligent arrangements of the hangman.

 "Whew!" said the busy man, |" Captain, who is that man going ashore there Solitary and alone," with a face as black as thunder cloud" "That, why that-that's Thomas H. Benton !!'-Pinsburg AdrocGte.

 Prophetic.-John Quincy Adams closed his late speech in Congress with the following emphatic and prophetic truths:

 "This measure, (the sub- Treasury scheme) too absurd for serious reasoning, too alarm ing for scornful derision, so absurd that 1t was impossible to believe it proposed with sincerity, so terrible to the futurity of this nation. if really sincere, after floating tri- umphantly in it's passage from the Depart ment, throughout the Senate into this House, has this day, by timid and almost despair ing resistance, been deferred till the winter session. p for the scary to go home and feel the pulse ot the democracy of numbers.
