Stato of M:.is(i:ppi, ht-U! in and i',.r the oi tin-
ty cf ,i:i tho autumn ol win n,
amen;; other plcn.s lor tho iijuto, there was n
bill of iml.'fttnRut for urron nuinst Ldinlio
rou:'h, n sluvo. The JuJ;;o who presided
was u cunt!, :na;i of lurgi- ioiirnitijr and is.
t Hided lentil o.vptri' Hie, :ind hr still lives to
enj'iy tho itwatus of u hijh pioUsaioual ru
putu a. t!m capital city of Mississippi.
Tins accused was u nativo Alrican, und was
the property of a gentleman of tho county in
which tho bill was found. Tho nrsou "was
laid in the destiuction of the pin-houso of
his nnioter tho pkn was not gui'ty, wheii a
jury w as ouipuimek'd and tho cause proceeded
to trial. The prosecution was conducted by
the District Attorney, while the dcl'oncu was
under tho management of otio of t'nc most
thardighly rend lawyers i,f uur iSlate, as
sisted by his son, a young lawyer then in the
opening pruuii.-o of u Liilliitnl future, 'i'lie
evidence on the part of tho iStato disclosed
thu fiillo'ving facts :
That a few days previous to tho 'uurninp,
ths defurdant had run uwuy upon some iusuf.
licient ciiuse ; that tho day before thu fire,
which occurred between r.iidm'ht uiid day.
lipht, too dc!'endat:t had been teen lurking
about in the vicinity of the yin ; that an in
uQVctual ultiuupt was then inado to capture
him ; that the overseer and a portion of the
hands hud been cngnyed at tho gin till a lato
hour the night of the tiro, packing cotton and
loading wagon for drain! (Ju!f; that when
they left fur the 'ouaiter,' tin y left every
thing, as they supposed, F ife at the cin ; that
when the alarm of firo was made, the force
was carried to the gin, and an attempt made
tn subdue tho Uauies, which proved abortive ;
that suspicion immediately f.-ll upon the de
fendant, ti cm th-f fact of his being a fugitive,
uud thut he had been eoen in the vicinity the
day pievi ius; au J that, upon that supposition.
a more vigorous search was institutid, and.
after a diiigent pursuit of about i!n lionr and
a null, tho Ueletidunt wus discovered in a cot
tou -house, uboul a milo fiuni tho gin, in an
udjacent t:eid. Thut I:u was then whipped,
but not for tho purpose of ind ieit:g cenfes
mod, but uj a puiiislitnent for tunning away.
That alter that, and whi!n on the way to llio
quarter, the delendunt had volunlnrdy con
lisied that Lo burned the gin ; that ho set it
on lira with a view of implicating a negro on
tho plantation who had incurred his animosity.
1 he evidence for the Stata closed after in
trodueing thu negro to prove that tbn deft lid
aut did owe hmi a grudge for sonio cause,
not necessary here to l.c detailed.
Tho defeuco ofl'ered no evidence and the
argument proceeded The District Attorney
opened the prosecution by a brief reference
to the facts aud tho law applicable to the
same The counsel for the defendant, eini
nent for high legal attainment, presented a
powerful eerh.s ol'urgumeut and hypotheses,
inconsistent with tho conclusion ' of guilt.
TLo law was giveo in charge by the Court,
and the jury rendered a verdict or guilty. A
motion wus made to set aside the verdict aod
grant a new trial, for a variety of causes, and
lifter a lubored argument was overruled.
'I he nest day tho prisoner aud uuother,
abo was couvicted of murder, were placed at
the bar to receive the sentence of deathv The
Court having regularly pronounced judgment
upon lha murderer, then said to liuiubo
rough :
' i.j.nborou;h, stand op 1 Yoa have been
regularly indicted, tried by a jury or your
own selection, aud by them fouud guilty of
tho crime of arson. The punishment fur that
crime i death. You have had able counsel,
who have conducted your causa with unniis
taUablo skill and ability; but if yoa have
anything tj say v.hy tho judgment of this
con: I hhnuld Hut be pronounced, the law gives
y.n i.bei ty to t peak lor yourseir wbut hare
y.n to sny J"
The negro eovunced a step or two, so as
to lac.- the stand, uud expressed his tli.iuUs
to ".MiiHSa i!ey." for it appears be had
often seen mid beard Of the Judge, and it was
quite natural that be should so address bita.

Tho defendant" continued nf'.cr that manner,
in Ins brouen lingo, for tn hour and a ball,
and seemed ptiitictilutly niixinus to fonvinee
thu Court of the truth of what hi; said, lie
did not seem to hope for uiiything, r.t.d
seeined per.'ectly unconcerned as to the event.

he deemed it uniiecesrary that it va., I

Then, said tho Court, he hns improved that
opportunity. Alter a pause, ho t-aid to the

Tiib large crowd breathed eaiier and rree.,I
and many a heart went forth in its kindliest
sympathies to meet uud coaitnune with tho
cLariiy wh eh dictated such high-toned cle
mency on the part of Wiley P. Harris. Up
on a second trial tho negro was acquitted
thus vindicating tho wisdom of tho Judge.

IIOHB SPORTS FOR WINTER
EVEKINC3.
The evenings are now long, end sometimes
dreary to youth, even with ull the r-ading to
tho taste, unless they tiro relieved by harm
less games and entertainments, especially
where little companies aro assembled. The
following sports, communicated to the Ohio
Cultivator, by Ai rs. Josephine C. Batehuni,
n lady of eminent domestic virtues, will not,
at this ti ne, be received by thu younger por
tion of our leaders, with disaatMuctKin, pro
vided there is anything new u'oout ll,m.
HfST tub Klu'I-kk. Tho company khonld
be sealed in a, circle on tho floor or ground,
with their faces to tbaecntio; uud the but ter
standing outside, mnrt throw u clq ;:
into the tnidflle i f the circle. This ii sizt-il
by somo ono, and passed raj Idly fi ,un hand
to hand, whenever the hunter's back is turn
ed. If ho succeeds iu finding r.nd seizing the
slipper, the onl in whose hands it is found,
inn .-I pay a foil', .t und bo the next hunter.
When a good opportunity i flei a, too siipper
heel id tapped two or three times on the i'. ior
or ho receives a m:ii t blow from it, which
only serves to mystify the hunter, us by the
time he has reached the spot, it has probubly
traveled half round the circle.
Iu unother form of this game, Cm players
stand instead of sit, and always puss thu slip
per behind tluui. Tho hunter f lauds .in the
centre, nnd keeps his eyes closed till the
Slipper has commenced its journey, wheu
some otiobids him "hunt the slipper. ''
Tim BtNDi.Es. This i3 the modem form
of "Tag," and suited only to out door play
or a Tory largo room. AVitii these accommo
dations it 13 oue of the liveliest g nines we
ever played. The players must be of an even
number, and formed in n double ring, a short
person iu front of a taller one, and ull facing
the centre. Each couple thus forms a "bun
dle." Two persons are then chosen, one to
run aud touch the other. The pursued must
run and place hinihelf lo front of one of the
bundles, which is thuj composed of three per
sons, which is not allowable. The outside
one of the this must therefore run to avoid
being touched, and J lacu himself iu front ol
soma other bundle, tho ouiiido one of whom
urn at of course run ui before. When ono is
touched, ha takes the place of the pursuer,
who is chased iu bis tarn. Tho aim of the
pursuer, is al.vajs to fiudtba bundle of three,
and to touch tho third ; but the changes are
so constant, as to often greatly perplex the
pursuer, miKb Jo the uuii.iatiou of the game.
What's My Thoiout Likb? For a quiet
game, this is an excellent one. The leader
having thought of an object, proceeds, with
out nveuliiig it, to uok euvh one, "Whit is
my thought likat" Each replies by men
tioning odis other object. After completing
the circlo, tho toaihr announces bis word, and
calls upon each to explain the roEenibluiico
bo has mentioned, or pny a forfeit. Suppose,
for instance, the lender should have chosen
"lamp," and receive in reply, "apple," "mouse"
"stove," "book," etc.: the explanations might
then be nftor this Bort. Tim lump nnd apple
both contribute to tho evening's enjoyment ;
the lamp nnd mouse roseniblo each other,
because both are dangerous in thu clothes
press; tho lamp nnd stove ore both useless
without o Cro ; the lamp and book both en
lighten mankind, etc., etc.
Tub Comical Concert. -This game when
played with animation, is very amusing. All
stand in a circle, and one plays the violin by
hohiih.T out tho left, arm, aud moving the right
us though drawing a bow across it; nnnther
doubles up his t'.vo hands, nnd puts them to
his mouth to iniiUl? a horn ; another moves
tier lingers as though playing a piano ; ano
ther imitates the bpating of a drum, another
a hnrp, another a hand ovan, etc., each one
nt the same time making a ro'je in imitatiou
of his instrument. All this n-nkep en odd
jitail.de of movements' and Eoundfi.
Jn the centre stands tile leader cf Hie or
chestra, who. while beating titno for the rest,
suddenly calls out, "AYhy don't ycu play bet
ter V Tho ono uddressed must answer in.
ttaut'y, in accotdonco with tho naturo of his
instrument, as' "my drum stick is broken,"
"my piano wants tuning," "n.y harp strings
arc too loose," or anything else that is appro
priate, or, failing to do so, must pny a forfeit.
All stop playing when the question is usked,
and twuu o it after the answer, until another
one is questioned. This gees on until the
leader announces the concert closed.
1'i.y Away, I'luiiort. One person plnces
!,cr fen finger on hr;r knee, and the others put
theirs around it. t;ho then suddenly raises
her itnger, nnd if she says nt the tamo time,
Miy away, pigeon,'" or "lly nwiiy, chicken,"
th.' others must raise theirs in the same man
ner; but if fijio says, -lly nway, lit U," or "Cv
i away, horse, the others must not move theirs
under penalty of a fulfeit ; that is, the lingers
must all r ."t if a creature is mentioned that
cn.'i tiy, and keep qu ct if it cann-il t'.y. Tl.:3
n-quires quick ears and quick thoughts, aud
bungs laughter a ml I'orl'i-iis iu ubuiiilanco.
l!i ov tub i-'i'ATin it. Let. the phvyet-3 sit
in a close group, and soino one f low up n bed
leather. The rule is, that whoever it Lents
upon, must pay a forl'.it ; of course, all blow
t Hermetically lo keep it t IT, till ull get to
laughing, whon the game is closed.

United States, the one being about .15,000,00'),
nnd the olher 28,000,0(10. Yet it is a singn!
tar fuct that, the principal cities of our coun
try generally exceed in size those of tho
French empire. To this rtilo the grent
centre, Paris, forms an exception, of course,
because we liavo no such metropolis, where
tho offairs of n contineut, nay. of the world,
concentrate as ih a focus, 'lint, taking tho

In tho ton cities first named our snperioriiy
is obvious eliong h. Tho comparison is not
so favorable in the others, because our cen
sus statistics are not so recent os those of
Fiance. If they were, all our secondary
cities would far surpass the French towns of
the same class. In a new country like ours
this does not seem a favorable tendency of
population which causes the rush to the
towns.

On roots and acorns dine, like shoats,
And sup on leaves and buds, like iroats.

And pnunt wolves prcwl where merchants meet!

And grufr bears r?rowl where hvmns aro chanted,
Owls hoot church airs with pi.j sonorous.
And croaking crows caw caw the chorus!

Made him yellow, gaunt and bony ;

In Dauphin comity, Pennsylvania, some
seven yjurs ago, lived u wealthy farmer, who
wus ble.-sed witli a family of six children, the
eldest o;' which was a beautiful girl of seven
teen summers. A young man in the neigh
borhood of good family, feigned alluchment

into the snare set for her. Shortly ul'ler her
ruin was sctotupflshed, the young tnuu fearing
the wrulliof her Hit her, when thoeonsequoiices
of his villainy should berome nppnrant. ub
scomied. Tho young girl now felt the full
horror of her situation. She could conceal
her situation but u short time, and her de
stroyer lud tied. Shociuld not, eauuro the
reproach that would attach to her when all
should be liseovered. She determined upon
leaving thj country also, and preferring to
be considered as dead, rather than diegfaced,
matured a plan, to cheat ber parents into the
belief that she had been drowned. A creek
ran througli her father's farm and emptied
into the Siscpieliaiina, a short distance arvay.
At this tine of year (Spring) it was swollen
by freshcti, and it was dangerous to venture
upon the fiuil biidge of plank that had bocu
thrown acriss it. Ono evening, when the
water was ery high, she proposed going to a
neit'libor's bo lived ucross the creek. Her
father objected on the ground of danger, but
insihting ilat she could get over safely, she
seized her Lonnet and started. She had pro- j
viously sect'teda few articles ofvlotbing out
side, winch ;he look witu her. Arriving at
tho bridge, she threw her bonnet iuto the
stream, well knowing thut it would bo caught
on the busing that overhang the stream, oud
hurrying on soon gained the road, and walked
away iu tl.o direction of Harrisburg. The
coiisteruutioi of the fa'nily, after the lapse
of two or th-ee hours, may bo imagined. One
went to the house she had started for, but sdie
had not been tiere. Il was supposed imme
diately that tl,eha.l fallen off the bridga.

whose mind Ihe event weighed heavily, wish

is something curjous about the trade irl
ostrich feathers. The newspaper from which
we clip credits it to tho "Annals du Com
merce Extcrionr:"
Leghorn, after the declined of its com.
merce with the Levant, romaiued tha great
entrepot of ostrich feathers, and did business
In that article to the amount or about 1,200-
000 francs annually. But since the establish
ment of steam navigation London has gradu
ally become the principul centra of that
branch of trade, and Leghorn now only does
business to about half the preceding a
niottnt j a part of tbe diminution is, however
owing to tho decline which has taken place id
prices. Seven eighths of the ostrich feathera
which Leghorn receives come from Egypt,
mid the rest from Tripoli and Aleppo.
About three-fojrtbs of tho whole are Sent to
Paris, and the remainiug fourth to England.
AVhite feathers aro worth from five to twenty
times more than black ones. All feathers,
white and black, are sold by woight, eicept,
however, the very finest sorts, which nra
disposed of according to quality. The price
of white feathers varies horn lftorto 300r tha
1 usoun pound, (neorly 12 ounces,) nad of
black from .10r to2of. The trado in ostrich
.oathers requires a good deal of experience,
as it is easy to be deceived in the quality
when they are not prepared. Four or five
houses are engaged alone in the trade at
Leghorn, and their profits are large. Tha
dealers at Paris aro beginning to obtain Trod

gets horn tho Cape of Cood Hope. They al
