led me into a wide hall which opened into
a wide hull which opened into a laiieroom
the academy proper tho rear ol which
won handsomely decorated, and at this end
was placed a desk for the lecturer. Uu the
wall were hung many well executed paint
iiigH, representing many duvioex of beg uih
iu foreign countries, from the earliist d.iys
to the jireseut time. The collection wan
one of considerable merit iu a historical
point of view.
"Thnt hide of (be room represents Lou

contained the appliances of the Profession.
Here were closets with glass doors, con
taining pieces luudo of what appeared to
be ptiiirrmii-lif. representing shot and slab
wounds in various stage ol healing. These,
by simple mechanical contrivances, could
be applied to any part of the body. In
other parts of the room were to lie aeen
many disguises, coats, little wiigous lor the
use of iiretctird cripples, beggar clothing
covered with medals for deeds ol imagin
ary bravery and heroism, boxes with viri
ons inscriptions on them, nmlirellos which
looked nn though nmde iu the emly days of

The third room we entered was the most

"This dog can alono enrn more than a

fessor, pointing to a small hound, whose
ugly countenance would alone move one to

"Do not be afraid; ho will not hurt you

The Murder of Mrs. Hobbs, in Boston.
From the Boston Daily Advertiser. 4th.]
About half-past ten o'clock Inst night tho
residents of South I'.nd wero startled by
the report of a horrible murder, nt the
house of Dr. Alvnh Hobbs. No. l'JiiO Wash

to the bloody deed have not yid transpired,
although varions rumors aro uiloat. All
that is nt present knowu is that at about 20
minutes past 10 a'clot k last night Major
Thomas L. White, a young muu about JO
years of ago, who hail lioin Mississippi,
and has been stopping at the house of r,
Hobbs, fired a pistol, whilo coming down
stairs, nt Mrs. Hobbs, who had just shut
the parlor door. Mia Hobbs, on closing
tho door, said to her husband: "l'o, he's
got a pistol." Tho doctor jumped up
when the pi itol was fired, thn ball from
which passed tho door without hurting any
one. jiuiiicdiatclv afterwards another shot
was fired when Mrs. Hobb was braced
ngainst tho door, and she fill crying,
"Doctor, I'm shot 1" Tho ball entered be
low tho left breast, nnd parsed out on tho
right side, probably pasting through tho
lungs if not touching tho heart, nud
caused instant death. Dr. Hobbs,
nearly wild with excitement, iu
stantiy left the house lor a po
liceman, and Kerginnt Hartshorn proceeded
from tho Filth Station, which is in tho im
mediate vicinity, and took the murderer
into custody. Ho madu no attempt to es
cape, and when tint olllccr appeared, ex
claimed. "1 am the mau ! I did it, aud
this is what I did it wilh ;" showing bis
pistol."
Major White is said to bo a lawyer, or
studying law, nnd ono report is that he wns
stopping at Dr. Jlobb's lor medical advice.
.Mrs. Hobbs is said to bo about ;i"i or 10
years of ngo. Dr. Harrows, the coroner,
will summon a jury, nud uu investigation
will be begun to-day, wheu doubtless, fur
ther facts will bu elicited.
From the Advertiser of the 5th.

A NEW SENSATION.
The Erie Railway to be Brilliantly
Illuminated—A Plan to Effectually
Prevent Railroad Accidents of Night
From the New York World Aug 1.
Tho last sensation ftinde by the enter
prising Mr. JmtiM risky Jr., comptroller of
the Erie Kailwny, is the undertaking of a
plan by whtch It I proposed to mas ine
lino of the F.rie Hnilwnv. from the font of
Cliamlier street and Twenty-third street
to liuffalo nud Dunkirk, nn nnbrnken belt
of light nil throngh the dark nights, both
in summer and winter. The Ifergen tun
nel Is to be so brilliantly illuminated thai
upon a lowering day tho ere of tho pas
senger will be almost blinded a the train
emerge from tho month of the
tunnel, owing to tho dilVerence between
tho briirhl light of the tunnel and tho dull
rny of the son. The mean to be adopted
to carry out thfn great plan, and thus pre
cluding the possibility of nny further acci
dents on Hie ron.l on account oi onrsncss,
is in tho niuiliculioii of the electric light to
every locomotive on the line, and stationary
liulils nt the ferries, ill tho funnel, nnd at
dangerous curve nlong the roitc. The
nttention of (he F.rio company wns first enll
ed to consider this scheme, by Mr. F.. C,
Morse, nnd Mr. Fisk nt ouce nnthomod
him to go to work nnd see what could be
dono. Sir. Morso thereupon commenced
to make arrangement for the manufaclnre
of a large number of n largo number of the
electric lamp nt .Tersev Citv. and he is
quite confident that within three month
he will have Erie nil ablaze.
Mr. Morse claims to have niadn several
valuable discoveries and improvements in
connection with tho electric light. Ono in
vention claimed bv him Is a self-snstaining
uttorv. and another is a device tor making
tho carbon points, used to give the electric
light, bum for months without wasting
away. This electric light, it is taut by
those who have experimented with it, will
cast n shadow behind an opaque body at a
distorioo of teu miles. Hut when jarred by
the molion of tho locomotive, the intensity
or the light is diminished. Tho light will
illumine tho track for three miles ahead,
however, so that, w here the road i straight,
tho engineer can discern nny object
at thnt distance. Hy another in
genious device, the electricity used to run
tho lump will be collected by the (riclion
of the wheels ns tho trains nro in motion.
Two lights will be used for lighting llergen
(uniiol, with one in tho middle, ns the tun
nel is not straight, bnt curves. Other
lamps will then bo stationed at each end of
tho Puvonin ferry, which will throw a
broad belt of light noroas tho North river
every night, to gnido tho traveler safely
to his homo iu the metropolis. Theso
lights will, it is said, bo so intense that on
tho darkest foggy night there will bo no
danger of collision cn tho water, nny more
than in the daytime. Still more, it in pro
posed to fill Twenty-third street every night
witli a Hood of while light, from the North
river to tho Filth Avenue Hotel, so tlmt
traveler nt tho heart of the metropolis may
nt all times bo reminded of the broad nud
happy way.
An Immense Land Slide.
The town of Stockport, Columbia Co.,
N. V , was the scene of considerable excite
ment last week, on account of n gigantic
land slide, nnd thousands have visited the
spot. Tho place where tho phenomenon
occurred is located on the old post road,
near the confluence of the Kinderhook and
Clovornook, nbont Ave miles north of Hud
son. It comprises nearly flvo acres, nud
wns on an elevation nbovo a dry ravine. A
hill intervenes bet w ecu the ravine and the
ereelc on tho cast and north of a littlo less
than tho altitude of thnt which ci.ved in.
The crash took place about half past six
o'leek p. M. last Monday. Tho movement
was gradual, nud the snrfnee of the earth
undulated liko wave of tho ocean. No
miso wan heard until tho moving mass
struck tho bnsa of tho intervening hill,
when tliuro was a dull rumbling sound ru
seuiblin;; distant thunder, nnd a quivering
sen nation iiUo u Blight shock of an earth
quake. Tho earth caved in to a distance
of over eighty feet, and tho surface as in
dicated by feucus nnd tiees moved a dis
tance of over six hundred feet So gradual
was tho movement that it occupied nbont
half an hour, und tho sight is described as
sublime iu the extrcmo. Among tho most
marked incidents of thu phenomenon is the
fact that nn enk treo w hich stood by the
roadside was moved, with n section of the
fence, tn the bottom of tho ravine, n dis
tance of six hundred feet, nnd the tree and
truce nowBUiud as linn and upright as over.
Tho weaker trees, such us pine nnd hem
lock, were snapped oil' an though they were
piptstems; and some tree ol this nature
two leet or uioro in diameter aro iwislol
liko a wisp ol straw. Tho land is clay,
founded on quick-sand, with n soil surface
of Lot nmro thou two feet iu thickness. It
is understood that that the quick sand has
been mudiially washing away Iroui beneath.
and passed off into tho streams. The
copious showers of lust soring left tho stir
face a lucio shell, nud tho dry weather
which followed caused tho shell to crack
and finally full into the vacuum below. A
crevasse several inches iu width, titty feet
in length, aud deep beyond sounding, has
appeared on (he land adjoining the sunken
portion on thn south, ami lears are t utor'
laint d that this tract will soon fall.
What Ailed the Telegraph

trouble continued the sumo as before, in
the day time, lowevur, tho linn worked as
well us could be ib sirt d. Alter uwccktl
search for the cause of tho break, it was
discovered lust Friday evening, in llm shape
of a long iron rod, which u miner at La Salle
placed against tho wires upon quilling his
work. The rod was knocked dow n, und the
w ire worltud w ell enough. Tho in nor was
warned that a repetition of such n disposal
of his working tools would result iu trouble
to himself as well as to the telegraph com
pany. Ho was utterly amazed at the power
of bis rod over the wires, mid thought thu

Singular Discovery.
A slraime oeolonical phenomenon recent-
tv caused some excitement at Murat, Iu
France, a village situated between the val
ley of Mount Doi e aud thnt of St. James.
A civil engineer hai caused a rectangular
well to be sunk to a dspth of fifty-three
metres throngh a stratum of hard tufa,
which covers the primitivo formation iu
that district. At this depth, which i in
significant compared to the shaft of a mine,
the heat, nevertheless, rjeonme so intense
thnt the workmen bad to be relieved at
short intervals. Their wooden shoes soon
f;ot Intolerably wnrm, nnd they could not
io down to rest themselves on the hot
ground. On tho other hnnd, thenpponmnce
of the tufa denoted thnt the well hnd near
ly reached (he craiuto. Iho engineer, on
leaving tho spot for a whilo, bad rccom
mondod bis men to bo very careful during
his absence, and to content fhoniselves
with rc moving the rubble, without goinR
further down. Olio cf them, however, in
throwing tho Inst shovelful into tho skip,
took it into his head to remnvo with his
pickaxo apiece of tufa nbont thirty inches
in circnnilerence; out no sooner nan ne
lone this than ho saw the bottom ol the
hole ho had made swell up,
At tho same time a loud rumbling noise
wa heard. Tho men in a fright jumped
into the cage nnd called to bo pulled up;
bnt they hnd barely got to the height of n
do.en metres when a thick column of hot
wider, precedid by a violent report, rose
up in the air, projecting bugo stone up
ward!. The water in tailing scalded the
men grievously. The jet diminished, nnd
tho well filled rapidly, the poor fellow suc-
