RATRKOAD Fare QUESTION.—A dispatch from Cincinnati states that considerable ex- citement occurred there Wednesday over a controversy between the people and the city companies in relation te the rates of fare, the latter increasing upon the present rates, and the former retusing nd ond more than $13 for a package of twenty-five tickets. There were numerous cases of ejection of passengers trom the cars and arrests of drivers and conductors for obstructing the streets. A epecial meeting of the City Council was called to take action im the matter. A large mass meeting was held at West End at night, at which resolutions were passed strongly denouncing the railroad authorities for violating their charters and disregarding the laws. Later advices from Cincinnati say the breach between the street railroads and the citizens is wider than ever, and there is a terrible ex- citement existing. The carson the John-street and Seventh-street lines stopped running at 11% o’clock Thursday morning, and remained off ontil past dinner bour, then stopped again at 5o’clock,and resumed in at § o'clock, which so incensed the people that they threat. ened to tear up the tracks. The citizens held a meeting at night, and decided to wait an- other day.

A BREECHLESS GUN AND NO GUNPOWDER The London Builder says: +A startling in- yention in gunnery has been announced by Mr. Harding, who maxes not merely a breech - joader, but a gun withoutany solid breech! He takes a tube open at both ends, and this forms his gun, which is toaded and discharged with deaaly effect. The plan is simply this—that a piece of wadding is rammed in at one end of the tube, then another piece, leaving a space and of course some air between them—closely compressed: then the powder is placed in, and then a ball on the powder. he breech is practically fermed by the air contained be- tween the first and the second piece of wad- ding. Others are inqviring if guupowder itself ehould be got rid of altogether midst all these changes! Captain Dixon says, «Yes; and sends us one of bis guncloth charges,a piece et rolled tape, sotospeak, in a paper case, open atoneend. The patentee claims for the guncioth charges freedom from all risk of accidental ex- plosion, except when confined im a gun-barrel orjbomb-shell. They are non-explosive; they burn, but do not explode: if lighted and held in hand they are harmless; they may be dropped down a red hot barrel without fear of danger. A hundred may be lighted at once, and the re- sult will not be more explosive or dangerous than setting fire to a handful of shavings, beither would the veto tee & whole magazine be attended with more ger than the burn- ing of so much wood, cotton or paper. The recoil 1s scarcely pecag Secs. the report 1s only one-half: smoke there is none; the combustion is perfect, and no residue is left to foul the barrel; and, with all, these charges are supe- rior to gunpowder as a Sgr eed force—at least so says the inventor. un-cotton, was, as formerly made and used, an uncontrollable, unmanagable, capricious force, besides being liable to ignite at @ low heat and fire by spon- taneous combustion. Gun-cloth, this patentee says, as made according to his patent, is a strong but docile servant; weight for weight moany times stronger than gunpowder, and ca- a of being used with entire safetyin ex- ting fire-arms.” Ovr Bep- Room ngular Statement in Re- gard to Cholera.—Dr.T.S. Bell, an old and eminent physician of Louisville, a man of vast acquirements and wide observation and ex- peace said the other day ata meeting of the uisville Cellege of Physicians and Sure geons: The cause ef cholera has neven risen to any great height perpendicularly, except when it was foreed up. Naturally it cannot affect the second story of any good residence. Heights have always been, when ly guarded, secure refuge from cholera. vated buiid- ings or high walls have always been exempt, while coterminous places were ravaged. Moscow has repeatedly been invaded in the quarters along the low banks of the Moskwa, but there has never been a case of the disease in the elevated Kremlin. The monasteries with high walls in Italy, France and Spain, have, with great uniformity, escaped the dis- ease. The cause of cholera acts alone at night, and upon sleeping persens. No amount ef ex- posure in the moist localities o1 the disease im- perils the wakeful, moving individual. Ihave seen hupdreds of instances of this fact, with- out one devintion from the statement of the proposition. 1 have myself it many a night in the localities during the ravages of the epidemic, and never felt thatl was in any peril while I it awake, and the best se- curity for thatis to keep in motion.

DisoRPERLY aT A Pic-Nic —Thureday, at apic-nicon Analostan Island, John W. - per and some other young men he ge ia what is called a stag dance, in the pavilion, and behaved in & very disorderly manner. Officer Sebastian went to them and told them to stap the dance and bebave properly. Harper be- came enraged and defied the officer. Sebas- tian and his companion, officer Paxson, ar- rested him and carried him to the station and lockea him up for @ hearing. When taking bum oxt for trial, Harper became outrageous, and kicked Sebastian, —— him severely, and bit Paxson on the shoulder. Yesterday morning Justice Buckey fined him $5.2 for disorderly conduct, and bela bim to bail for court for assaulting the officers. John Norris, one of Hi ‘s companions, attemptea to rescue him the cers. He was arrested by officer Novie, and Justice Buckey fined bim $5.56, and held him to bail for peace. He may consider himeelf for:unate in not being sent to court, as the law is very seyere against offences of that sort. Easy Matrimony. {From the Cnicago Post, Aug. 25th.) On the 7th of February. 1859, Mr. Wm. H. Stone, grocer and medicine dealer, was mar- Tied to Rachel Stowe, at Belvidere, in this State. He lived with ber and loved her for the space of five months. During the whole of that period he was wneto her, he says, ana she acknowledges that she has no reason for Supposing that he was not. He claims, and he ougBt to be allowed, full credit for remaining faithful and true for that long period. For five long months be never once turned bis eyes or his thoughts from his own helpmate toward the daughters of men. William did not grow cold to her, nor cruel, but simply upon getting ured of ber, and anx- ious for a change, he left ber. He bad still a certain sneaking, lingering kindness for ner. He doubtless thought that his peculiar way of gratitying bis tastes might possibly be disa- greeable to ber. He therefore wrote her a philosophic letter, in which he set forth his theory of life. He did not conceal from her tbat he bad no intention of being to her as a husband any more, and plainly oe ber tbat be meant to do nothing tow: sapport- ing her. He also assured her that their mar- riage was entirely void, and he advised 4 With great earnestness. to marry ona He also wrote toa mutual friend, named Smith, to whom he descanted upon the merits of the excellent woman he had deserted, and concluded by urging bim to marry her. Neither bis wife nor the friend could be per- suaded, and Mr. Stowe began to fear that lroublesome conseq uences might arise to him- self. He deliberated as to how he should act. Flight was easy, but so might be reuit. There was but one gate through wh: ven a wife, ice A meme Hindoo wife, would not care to , Viz. the grave. Mrs. Stewe's sweet William resolved to die.
