THE MARYLAND CONVENTION to reform the Constitution of that State, says the Balti more correspondent of the Washington Union, will not cost that State less than $100,000, and is not likely to form a constitut: .i that the peo ple will approve. A number of delegates, says the same writer, appear to have determined to defeat every change or amendment of the old constitution, and quite a number appear indiffer ent about attending the sessions of the Conven tion, not Appearing in their seats more than once in a week ! A beautiful state of affairs. They ought not to be allowed one cent of pay, and ought to be sued for damages besides. the great uinicuity is very mucn like our equal suffrage difficulty.

Baltimore Sun. - A Physiological Problem. It lias been observed that persons who have lost a limb, or a p;wt of one, are at times very much troubled with an intolerable itching, or sometimes puin. in the lingers or toes of the extremity which is lost. A case of this kind lately presented, itself to us for advice, which, being a little out of the common course, we have thought proper to give to our readers. A young man hail his hand amputated just above the wrist, on account of having it shattered by the bursting of a gun. This happened some two years since, and the deficiency is supplied by a wooden hand. At times, he tells us that he has the most intolerable itching between the wooden fingers, in fact insupportable, and. to use his own words, he would give a hundred dollars for the chance to g;ive them a scratching. ' At other times, he lias much pain where the lingers should be, and lie can only obtain relief by altering their position. When free from nain or itchinir he can discover no difference Get ween that h;rd ami the sound one. He can will the finder of the lot hand to act, ami they seem to obey. At times, the ends of the iir.gfrs are quite numb ami coid; being partly fixed, he f'rels that he has not the power to extend them. There are other phenomena connected with thi case, which, with those we have given, would be very difficult to. account for on physiological principles. Boslon Me diced, dour no!. Tne above singular notice will no doubt be laughed at vis a Munchausen production, b nt it is not unlikely that there is more truth in it than one knowing nothing of the subject would sup pose. Those who have an opportunity, can con sult persons who have lost a limb, or part of oi.e, and thus satisfy themselves. It will be readily understood, of course that the itching or pain is not actually in the wooden appendage, but in the end of the stump, and the brain, ac cording to theory,) locates it in the wooden sub stitute. There are many as strange things as that, connected with man's nervous system. FATAL RENCONTRE. DREADFUL TRAGEDY. TsJew Orleans, January 2T- A rencon tre took place at the Veranda Mouse to day between two men, one named Erring ton and the other named liyrd. The lat ter received two fatal stabs, and died almost instantly. A terrible tragedy occurred at a bail given the same night- It happened that a voung man and his former betrothed, a yonnu ladv, met in the ball-room. The parlies, it is stated, had been engaged to be married, but her parents objected. lie desired her to elope with him, and she re fused. Chagrined at the idea of disap pointment, and partially deranged, doubt less from the ejects of blighted hope, he drew a pistol, and shot her dead in the room. The names of the parties are not given. Frozen to Death. On the morning of the 5th of Januay, Duncan tf. 31c- aughton and Daniel A. Creighton, of Perth, Fulton county, were frozen to death on the plank road, a few rods south of Vail's mills. They left Fondasbush about 9 o'clock p. m. with a double sleigh and cutter; the horses got of the track and went into a deep ditch. It was impossible for them to extricate themselves from the position in which they were placed. It was a very.cold night; the snow drifted, and they became so benumbed with the cold, that they perished before assistance arrived. Fullon (A. Y. ) Rep A late English paper states that a bass viol has been constructed at Vienna, thir teen feet high, provided with pedals to act upon the finger-board.
