He filled with the same amalgam, the scull
and spine OF another cat, which did not give
any sign Of life; The animal became during 90
minutes, in such state of Uifai tension, that it
raised its head, opened lis eyes, looked steadily,
and attempted to walk, and cndeavored to rise
after falling down frequently. During all this
time, the circulation and pulsarion were very
active, and continued for a quarter Of an hour,
after the chest and belly were opened. The

ry was absent about 60 minutes. Though en- q.
,ireIy circumstan,ial, the testimony against
Mendum j. said 10 have been irresistible, and
established case Of aggravated murder with,
out parallel in Virginia. Having first ingra
tated himself with Mosby's wife, he inally
made way with him, for the sake Of enjoying i
more uninterrupted intercourse with her. To
this end, he called to his aid one Of Mosby's
slaves, who seduced his master 10 certain spor,
where he was fallen upon * des patched, by the
joint attack Of Mendum and the slave; not,
however, without vigorous defence Mos
by's part, and the inficton Of serious wounds
upon the slave. His wounds, lee to suspicion
against the last, who was then apprehended,
and made confession of the whole. By the
county court of Powhatan the slave was adj.
judged to death, but we understand his execu-
ton has been suspended by the Executive, TO
await the event Of the trial Of Mendum. He
no doubt will share Mendum's fate. Mendum
is sentenced TO be executed on the third Friday
