WEEDS.—Weeds will grow in spite of
the heat and dryness, and a constant
warfare must lie waged against them.
When weeds are hoed up and allowed to
wilt under the (scorching July sun, there
is fury little danger of their growing
again, unless tliore is plenty of yellow
docks. Never allow a weed to ruu to
seed if it can 1* helped, as the garden
can be kept free of weeds, to a oertatu
extent, if they are carefully pulled tip
when small.
To PRESERVE TOMATOES.—Take good
ripe scald and skin Uieiu, take
out the seeds carefully, so a not to
break your tainatoca. Now boil them in
ginger water until they are soft, take
theiu out, drain them, and weigh them ;
and to every pound of fruit add one
pound of white pulverised sugar
and half a i ut of the ginger water thev
in ; add some stripe of frraii
ginger ; boil carefully over a slow fire
until clear, take them off, cool, and put
sway in jars for use.
To HARDEN PICKLES. —AIum will hard
en cucumber*. To a gallon of vinegar,
add one ounce of powdered alum. If the
vinegar is put into bottle* tightlv corked,
and act in A kettle of cold water, with hay
or straw between them to keep the bot
tle® from knocking together, and allowed
to remain over the fire until the water
boils, theft removed, and kept in the ket
tle until cool, the vinegar will keep per
fectly clear when used for pickles; hut it
nbotud' be added to them cold. Shred*
of horse radish root will prevent all pickles
from moulding.
STRONG Dunes.— A Colorado saloon
keeper said of a rough crowd:" I couldn't
get their whisky strung enough for them,
so after trying every way, I at last made
a mixture of poison oak and butternut
I hat fetched them. I called it the sheep
herder's delight, and it was a popular
drink. The Ural Pike I tried it on yelled
with ilelitfbt; tie next OM took two
drinks and turned a double somerset in
the road befrav the bouse. A peddler
came ak>ng. and he took several drinks
of my sheep herder's delight; he went off
and stole his own pack and hid it in the
woods."
ROOTS FOR FORAOR— The Pnicbcxtl
> rmrr says;—" l u the short
hay crop, it will be well for those farm
ers who have jmt in plentifully of sown
cvrn and a tood supply of sugar beets.
Fifteen to twenty tons of the former,
and thirty to forty tons of roots per
acre, will go far to make np the loss of
the hay. If wither of these have been
put in, the only remedy now is a crop of
rnta bags or common white turnips.
The middle at the present mouth will
yet do for the" former, and two or three
weeks later IbQfce latter. These latter
should be sown, besides other places,
oa the headlands of cornfields, previ
ously well ml deeply stirred with the
cultivator, ada fertilized with superphos
phates. Jg
Rata bafri? from American grown
seed are ptvfeiabio to foreign, as thev
run much less to what is called neck,
and make better-shaped and more regu
lar tillers. .This crop requires drill
culture.
POSITION or FAR* BntLDnros.—There
is far too much attention given to the
P 0 *?!? 0 ' **9 Compass in olacing the
buildings. If the roads run north and
aout h every building- on the place ia very
likcjjr to bo phcoj factiisj aue 631 st or
west without regard to the formation of
the lan<l or surroundings. In fact moat
of our country homes hare a stiffness
or monotonous appearance which might
be aeoided if due care was given to the
proper arrangement of outbuildings.
"J® Tr Ty ®oeh like making curves in
iralks when there it no reason for devi
ating from a Afralght line, which should
never be done. If there ia no obstacle
in the way which we seemingly avoid in
making a cqjrre, one should he created,
and the same principle should be carried
out in the jdacement of farm buildings.
Avoid all Rtifl iormclity, and if the po
siuon of the gronrul ur convenience af
fords an opportunity for placing differ
ent buildings at different angles to the
road, bv all weans avail yourself of it,
and therebyjgfre a varied and pictur

grounds are it vei, wrtliont an undulating
surface, tbei trees maybe introduo-d as
seeming obstacles against putting every

will enable the moat casual observer te

MOTHER. —Around the idea of one's
mother the mind of man clings with
fond affection. It is the first dear
thought stamped upon our infant hearts,
when yet soft and capable of receiving
the most profound impressions ; and all
the after feelings are more or less in
sompanson. Our passions and our will- ■
fulness mey lead ns far from the object 1
of our filial love; we may become wild, <
headstrong, and angry at her counsels (
or opposition ; but when death has still- j j
ed her monitory voice, and nothing but 4
calm memory remains to recapitulate her ]
virtue and her deeds, affections, like a j
flower beaten to the ground by a rude ,
storm, raises up her head and smiles ,
amid her tears. Round that idea, as we ,
have said, the mind clings with fond (
affectiqn ; and even when the earliest j
period**! our lias forces memory to be j
silent, fancy takes the place of remem- j
France, and twine* the image of our de- (
parted parent with a garland of graces '
and beauties amfvirtues, which we doubt j
pot that she possessed. j (

ROBBER*. —The daring of Broadway
; robbers far surpasses the boldness with
i which the highwaymen of Hounalow
Health used to stop the mail coaches
with their cry of " Mtand and deliver !"
The very crowd of Broadway is a partial
cover for these bold freebooters, for in
that crowd it is everybody's bnsineas to
interfere in nobody else's business.
One afternoon, at the crowded corner of
Broadway and Warren street, two men
tripped apparently and fell One re
covered himself first and walked away
without stopping to apologize or to look
out for his companion. Not one in the
crowd paid any attention to the matter
further than to laugh quietly at the mis
hap. And vet in the few seconds of that
fall one of the men was robbed by the
other of thirty-five thousand dollars.
The tripping and the fall were parts of a
bold plan of robbery thus successfully
carried out.—AT. F. Paper.

Bill-Posting.
There are in the United States about
275 professional bill-posters, employing
from two totwenty men each and probably
MX) persons, iu whole or in part, earn
'.heir living by this industry. There are
some funny experiences that come to the
notice of a bill-poster. Not long ago,
when the practica of mystic advertising
was in vogue, a prominent merchant is
sued 44 dodgers, ' and bad them thor
oughly posted over the city, with the
somewhat unique inquiry, 4 • Who stole
tuv dog ? " He intended to follow this
with a business announcement calculated
to draw custom to his store ; but a pirat
ical fellow was too sharp for him. and
the next day had posted side by aide
with the iuquirv, 44 Your dog may be
found at Candy "Fred's, where the best
quality of molasses candy is always kept
an hand." Another merchant posted
the town with the question, 44 What is
it V a ueighl >oring shopkeeper answered
it by appending : 44 It is the cheapest
place to bay goods in the city," affixing
Lis own uame ami uundier. To 44 lull s
town," as the work is called, is an ex
pensive undertaking. The printing of
the bills, in the first place, is a large
item. Poster* cost, when one engraving
is done, and they are printed in but one
color, from 815 to S2O per thousand ;
colored posters, from $22 to $35 per
thousand; theatrical or concert pro
grammes, from {Mi to $9 per thousand ;
small hand-bills about the same,-while
the printing of large and elaborate pos
ters, engraved on blocks, including the
price of engraving, costs from sl*2o to
8150 jKir thousand. It costs a regular
theatre from 850 to 8100 a week for
posting the ordinary bills, while extras,
such as the streamers and display-bills of
stars, are put up ai their charge. A
transient show will have to jy to the
bill-poster, for billing the city, from
8100 to 8200, while it costs a circus from
8200 to $)00 according to the time the
boards are occupied.—American jVrirn

A Rattlesnake Story.
A Lynchburg, Va., paper, tells the fol
lowing story : A party of young men in
the same neighborhood, only a few year*
ago, had a very interesting adventure
with rattlesnakes, which may be briefly
stated. Earlv in the Fall "of the vear,
and before ttio snakes had ' housed up'
for the Winter, this party went out one
night on a racoon hunt. About mid
night the dogs ' treed' a family of coons
in one of the largest tree* in the neigh-
Itorhood. It was decided to wait until
daylight to capture them, with the hope
that the cutting down of the tree could
be dispensed with. The young men laid
down upon the ground, and were amus
nig themselves with telling stories, when
one of the party, who was thoroughly
acquainted with the habits and peculiari
ties of the rattlesnake, suddenly called
out, ' Lie still, boys ; don't move for
unvthing. There's rattlesnakes hero ; I
heard one's rattles hit a rock.' He had
scarely spoken when an enormous rattle
snake came crawling over his foot, and
following his leg to the body, crossed
over his breast, striking his next neigh
bor's face, and crawling over his mouth.
The third party was not touched by the
snake, except that his rattha tapped
lightly agaiust his caje rim as he passsd.
Iho fourth huntsman heard the rattle,
sprung to his feet and ascended a tree
with remarkable agility. This snake
was immediately followed by another,
not quite so large, and then by four very
small ones, all of which traveled precisely
the same path. When daylight came
the racoons were shot, and then the
search for the snakes commenced. They
were found in a hollow stumjw, but a few
steps off, and were all killed.
The Plague In Persia.
Advice* from Persia convey the infor
, mation of the alarming and rapid spread
]of the plague in that country. The ut
most efforts of the Shall and his gov
i eminent to enforce sanitary measures
have proved unavailing, and the plague
is extending with rapid strides over both
Eastern and Western Persia. The in
habitant*, reduced to the lust extremity
of weaknes* and debility by the pro
tractcd famine, fall easy victims. The
scenes presented in some of the more
populous cities are reported to be fear
ful The Turkish government, appre
hensive of the advance of the cholera
across the frontier of Asiatic Turkey,
has established a rigid sanitary cordon
along the whole line.
WOUTID NOT ACCEPT.— It is said that
an American firm has offered to take as
many of the Paris insurgents as the
Government of Franse lilies lo make
over to them, intending to conduct
them—men, women, and children—to
some large tract of land in Oregon,
where each would receive a certain num
ber of acres and be employed in clear
ing the forests, but Thetfs has declined
the offer.
The Cannibal* or the kherassau.
Iu Utc last year but one of the Uiir
hTntli century Persia wna devnated by a
famine and plague which has hail no
rivid to hiHtorical notice iu that region
until the pnaaoit year ; but if Mr. Ab

sul at Tabreea, has uot fallen for once in
to cxtraxagant cxaggcraUou, the plague
winch runs riot in 1871 will even surjiaas
in deviistatmii (lint of HA
Confirmation of this horrible nqsirt
comes from many sources. It comas
officially to the British government from
their agent at Tabreea— than whom no
one has better i>p|s>rtuuity of knowing
Persian affairs. The Turkish govern
ment have also obtained such informs
Hon a* to justify the establishment by
them of a ittrthn tomikiir* along their
frontier, and we may ex|i'ot to hear lv

While this ia the second great famine
iii.ee the middle agtw which Ims ilesolst
ed the land of C'vrus aud Darius, it
would Im diffioult to |K*iut out a |s ritsl
when famine, social atiareliy, religious
turmoil, or foreign invasion hail nut
rendered Persia well nigh uninhabitable.
From Uie day of ttbe S-ijukian Turks
and taeughis Khau to th<*o of Nailir
Shall, Kl-Bab, and Naaar-lal-Diu, Persia
has IHH'U in a state id permanent desola
latioii. No nation Unit was once great is
at present iu such a state of ilecadeuce.
A very impartial writer says : "The |ip
ulaliou of Persia is Wltcved to be sti-ad
ily dec'lining iu uumU-rs owing to the
ravages of the plague, the geueral üb
sence id sanitary laws, the results of
|K*lvguiuv, and various other uot well a
eertaiueti causes."
The present plague and famiue appear
to have broken out iu the " Land of the
Sun," Khorassan, celebrated iu Moore's
famous poem
"Tbi< doUgktfu) ptcviniw id lbs son.
The tirst o i IVniaa Uuils bo sbuies npuu."
It is just as likely that it was iu a uiore
distant region the plague broke out, al
though first reported from this idaee.
Khorassan is in some respects to the in
habitants of Paris or Loudou, what
Duluth or the Fond du Lae region insto
Sew Yorkers or Brooklyn!to*. It ia at
the most distant |Hint of Uie Caspiau
Sea. It i* just south of Khiva and north
east of Afghanistan. It is to the east of
1 Teheran, and is furthest removed from
: Tabrvez of all the Persian provinces.
Its southern port is a windy desert, and
j theie are also there salt steppes. The
other portiou* of the proviuee include
hills and tolerably fertile valleys. Doubt
less Imt for the nomadic chaiseter of the
j people the region could suiqairt all its
inhabitant*. A* i* well known the pure
Persian race, consisting of about 1,0t*),-
1000 peoj'le, fmpumt the town, while
Uie other inhabitant* of Persia, consist
ing of about three aud one half millious,
are tribe* of Turks, Aral*#, la<k, Koord
ish.Ac. In the Khornssans the pure Per
sians are very few. But the plague and
famiue do uot appear to be confined to
i Khonueiau ; tbe proclamation of Uie
(Jovernor of Hhiraz ia proof of thia.
' Tliat town is at the south of the king
dom. on the direct road from the t'n
t man to the Persian tiulf, on a line with
■ Tehenui and lsiwtltaii. It forms the
aiiex of a triangle of which Tabroc* or
lebriz —ineorn-eUv telegropheil S.diriz
-anil the capital of Kliomssu, Mescliiieil,
are the other points. This triangle is al
most equilateral. The sanitary cordon
which the Turks an* said to hare estab
lished ougtit to run from the mouth of
the Tigris aud Euphrates at the bead of
the Persian Uulf, to Kara. A litUe
south of this the Hussion government
could establish another line running
eastward to the Caspian Sea. Those
lines, properly guarded, would complete
ly hem in the plague so far as that might
be done by quarrautine.

THB IIX-FATTP CITT.— The Rev. Mr.
Aah, tlie Chaplain of the British le
gation at Buenos Ayrea, lias publudusl a
pamphlet rosjiecting tlie late (awtilence
there, from wliich it appears that out of
a population of 180,000 about two-thirds
fled and aliout 20,000 |tori.shed, the mor
tality ranging from 400 to 600 per diem
—more than 1 per cent of the inhabi
tants. The eitv is said to have been
reeking with filth, " steaming like a
dung lull whenever a hot sun came after
a roiu-full." The Kiver l'late was so
poisoned that the fish died in it, yet this
water was what the inhabitants had to
drink. There was no drainage facilities,
and what wells there were in the city
were utterly unfit for use. On the 10th
of April there were f>4o interments. On
the 16th the pestilence began visibly to
decline ; but it will require years to re
pair the ravages of the epidemic.
G<>NK TO PLATO —Tho French Nation
is responsible for a report which, if
founded on troth, requires either expla
nation from the Government or the so
vers judgment of the world, by the proas
or otherwise. It reports that 1,000 wo
men—Conirnuneuses, of coarse—have
been sent hi Cayenne by the Nereide,
and 2,600 have also leen shipped from
Toulon by the Ores and the Amazone.
This report seems circumstantial. The
writer seems to have seen a portion at
least of the shipment, and dcscrilica in
vivid pictures the despair of the women
in thus being sent to a living deutli ; and
to heighten the picture, the fact may lie
added that none Inc. e been legally tried.
The above statement has naturally
created an indignant sensation.
ESLAIWUSO BTKAKKKS.— In Scotland
they adopt the following method of
lengthening screw steamers The vessels
are placed on the patent slip in the usual
way, and in the course of a day or two
are cut in two and drawn apart to the
requisite length. The sjawe Is tween
them is then built np, and in a few
weeks the vessel is again ready for sea.
The steamship Garrison, the last vessel
lengthened in this manner, which is now
atmut to sail from Ornnton to Constanti
nople, was made 31 feet longer. This
has increased her carrying power from
250 to 1,280 tons without diminishing
her spo-d, or rendering a larger crew
necessary.
A FATAL DUEL. —A duel with sabers
has just taken place near Amicus be
tween a young man of that town, aged
20, and a Prussian officer. The latter,
in walking through the streets, had puff
ed the smoke of his cigar in the face of
the other, who replied to this insult by
slapping the Oermun ip the face. Tlio
officer did not demand the intervention
of the armed forces, but a meeting took
place the next morning, when the
Frenchman, who had la-en a corporal of
hussars in I-'aidherlie's array, killed his
adversary.
THE ASIATIC CHOLERA.—Simultaneous
ly with the announcement of the disap
pearance of the yellow fever at Bnenos
Ayres comes that of the breaking out of
Asiatic cholera in Poland and Persia. It
is six years since that last fearful scourge
made much havoc in Europe or Asia.
In 1865, the cholera wns very severe in
Alexandria, Constantinople, and several
Mediterranean ports.
THERE are four million Koriian Catho
lics in Ireland. The Episcopalians and

Hcriena Explosion.
An exploaion occurred in the amatl
magazine at Qic Waaluugtou Annual,
which waa nacd far the pre|>arHtiou of
pyrotechnics for the aignal wniiv, de
stroying Uie building and a storehouse
adjoining. Oulv four barrela of |>owtlt-r

HI -altered in all directions ; one of them
went through a blacksmith'a aliop aliont
a quarter of a mite distant from the
scene of the explosion. The storehouses
near by were aoiuu -h damaged that only
the crackinl walls are standing. The
building in which in stored 6,000 stand
of arms waa considerably damaged. The
slate roof, for a distance of nearly three
huudreil feet look* a though it had heeu
plowed in irregular furrows. All the
windows were shattered not only in thia
lnit in all the ueighlsiring structured.
The houses were levelled nearly to the
ground, and the trees nearly stripjied of
tlieir t>ark, their bnuicht a broken, and
their life |terha| destroyed. Fuse*,
cartridges, kc., wen* scattered all over
the ground. One of the guards, liviug
alamt a fourth of a mile from Uie scene
of the explosion, state* that Uie concus
sion waa ao severe aa to throw htm from

live within sixty feet of the site of the
magazine, none of them sustained any
injury in uenon. They were, however,
considerably alarmed by the pelting of
tiyiug buck* against their fruue tene

of allot and shell stored in one of Uie
buildings waa empty. The euginea re
mained on the ground for six or seven
hours. It was thought that wheu Uie

window the free shores of America, while
he remained a prisoner under the British

the window of his room with a pocket

COBHETH. —It is estimated that the sale

sad affair. The front of the (toiler waa
blown out, lodging in the bow, thirty
feet distant. The forward |iart of the
IKISI, upjM-r cabin and all, waa instanUy
slnveri d mid split into a thousand pieces.
As uu eye witness expressed it, " the
forwuid part of the boat was lifted fifty
feet in the air, the awoke stuck fell, and
then everything waa buried iu the hold.
Many persona were blown overboard.
A father and a mother had their chil
dren blown from their arms. The water
iu an instant waa alive with men, wowau,
and children struggling for lifs. A num
ber of persons, it is not known how
many, were ilrowned. The debris in the
fore part of Uie hold waa ftr*t removed.
The cries of the poor half-boiled victims
were heart rending. HUmuhuita were
given them as they struggled Wueath
the beam*, tuid oil waa poured upon their
burns. As fast as Uie wounded were re
covered they were borne to the deck of

stated that some of the deck-hands
asserted that the engineer had been
absent from lii* wart for at least IB!
minutes instead of five, aa stated by him
self. There was also much com mailt
upon the fact that while the Inapector'sj
certificate gave 2' jHiimda pressure of
steam as Uie limit of Uie allowance, the J
engineer admitted that the boilers were
subjected to 27 pounds pressure five
minutes previous to the explosion.
Fully 30,000 peojdc ossenihled at lite
dock as soon as the iicculimt was known
and the scene aa diwcrihcd must have

Within the hospital tbe ecn was bar

floor of the middle room lay a boy of ID
writhing and twiatiug in the agony of

scolded from haad to foot, and Hie tor
turas that tli* iKMir child suffered were
intense. Near him lay a strong man

ty of recognition, his once healthy frame
now one horrid mass of broken flesh.
In another part of the room was a fine
looking young man, whose head and
shoulders were raw, and whose limits
were bu mil to livid whiteness, by the
boiling water. In all the rooms were
men, women, and children in all stage*
of diotrem. Two wee things of perlis)>s

A woman of thirty-five was suffering
the last Jiangs of a distressful death, and
another, with hardly a stitch of clothing

the first victim, death began to move
among the ranks and relieve the terrible

A passenger on the boat says: Be
fore the time for starting I went ashore
to bny nomc peaches. I had got oulv a
few yards from the bost when the boder
expioded. The jlooseugerm mailed for
ward, and mnay jumped overboard.
While doxens were in tno water, some
of tno ]Muwengers and deck hands began
to throw the wreck overboard. (By the
m reck I mean the loose timbers torn away
by the explosion.) This operation was.
in my opinion, the cause of many fatal
ities, for the plank and other timbers
struck the strugglers in the water even
while tbev were being drawn up over
the side of the boat by their friends.

from ftrannigan. The clerk, however,
refused to accept it, alleging that it was
counterfeit, ami Rose was, it is reported,
compelled to apply to John Morrissey to
lend him money to pay hia bill and re
turn to New York. On his return he at
once visited Brnnnigiui, who indignantly
denied giving him a bad hill, whereupon
Rose laid a complaint before United

The I**ndon Surndtinl pu) dishes the
details of a series of terriblie earthquake
shocks which rwnUy occurred in one
of the Philippitß- Islands. More than
•JDO persons were killed, many of th in
being swallowed up by the earth. Sixty
doad bodies have been recovorcd. Tbo
rtwt of the inhabitants have fled from
the Island, which has been utterly de- j
populated.
The Philippine Islands, are over 1,200
in number, and are situated in north 1
latitude
117° 14—126- 4. They lie to the north
of Borneo and Celebes, and compose a
widely extended archipelago in the great
Malaysian system. The entire group is
supposed to be |iarta of a submerged
continent, and is of volcanic origin.
Scattered thronghout the islands are
many voloanoea, some of which are al
ways active. These often are the oroa
eon of great devastation, the destructive
eruptions Wing accompanied by earth-1
quasi-*, mud-torrent*, and other terrible !
phenomena. The City of Manila. Mtuat ;
cd .on Luzon, the largest of Uie islands,
waa visited by a great earthquake in
1K52, which loft scarcely a building an
injured and in 1863 another shake Tory
nearly destroyed the same eity. In 1864,
an eairthquske proatratral every house in !
the provinces of Zamboango, in |lhe •
Island of Mindanao, one of the south-'
ernmoat of the group, and caused several!
small islands to disappear. Tomadoo*, j

about one-fourth of the population re
tain their independence and the govern
ment of native princca. The popnlatfon
of the group ia estimated at 5,000,000,
but of many of the lesser island* almost
nothing is know. The Philippine*,
though afflicted with these great con
vulsion* of nature, have a delightful
climate, a soil of wonderful fertility, and j
are rich in anclt products as coffee, and
gold, sugar, hemp, tobacco, rioe, dye
wooila and hides.
The earthquake in the Philipine Is
lands, affected in a terrible manner the
small island of Camiguin, five miles
from Misamia.
For some months previously, there
was a siuvenaiou of violent shocks, which
opened extensive crevices in the earth.
Finally, the level plain near the village
of Catarmin, began gradually to subside,
until the tops of the houses Wcnme level
witli the surface of the earth.
This remarkable phenomenon at
tracted a Urge numWr of people, when
suddenly, some terrific shocks were felt,
snd before the thundering reverberations
had died sway, the whole level plain fell
in, engulfing 150 persous. The plain
became the crater of a volcano, 1.600
feet wide, and from it amoke. aahes, and
stones were thrown into the air. A pause
till dark succeeded, when there was an
other explosion, and a rain of fire fol
lowed.
The woods became ignited, and men
and cattle went flying before the flames.
The spectacle was a frightful one in the
extreme. The volcano continues to eject
stones snd earth. The inhabitants have
left the iidatid which formerly contained
a population of 26,000. Camiguin pro
duced one-tenth of the uiauilb hemp
grown.
A Frightful Scene.
At the execution of Thomas MeGifiin,
,at Greenville Court House, Va., 2000
Crams were present The prisoner was
1 forth from the jail, followed by a
large crowd, and took up his march for
the scaffold. Gn coming in sight of it
he turmal pale, and showed some trepi
dation. It soon recovered and walked
on with a firm and steady step. He was
assists! to tha platform, where, alter a
short prayer by the priest, he addressed
the erowit denying his guilt, mid express
ing the conviction that he would soon le
in everlasting bliss. Ho asked every
body to pray for his child he left behind
and warned all against laul company and
whisky. The rope was adjusted and the
black cap put on. A moment afterward
the drop fell with a loud crash, the rope
broke, and the criminal lay struggling
and gnspiug on the grouud. It was a
scene of horror, and many loft, afraid to
witness another such scene. He was
again taken np, carried U|KHI the plat
form, and the rope again placed around
his neck. He then said vtry calmly,
" Sheriff, if the ropebreaka again, loosen
it quick, for it was very painful." In
another quarter of an hour the drop again
fell, and this time the rope was true to
its purpose. The body swung to aud fro
in the air for nearly ten minutes by the
force of its convulsive motions. The
neck was not broken. In twenty minutes
life was extinct, and the body was cut
down, placed in a coffin, and buried iu
the vicinity of the scaffold.
After a wedding it was formarly a cus
