A CHINESE EXECUTION.—Mr. Scarth (says Mr. Albert
Smith, in To China and Back) told us he once saw 150
people beheaded on the execution-ground at Canton, at the
time of the rebellion. Their hands were tied behind them,
and a wooden ticket, explaining their crime, was stuck down
the back of their necks, and another on their coiled up pig-
tails. An assistant came up and took oat the first ticket,!
and lifted their hands; then the executioner decapitated
them at one swish with a sword. The ground was plashy
with blood, and when it was all over, a China woman drove
in a number of pigs to feed!

which has lately united in the bonds of Hymen the only
daughter of a certain judge of the land to a clergyman of
