CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.

The Massachusetts Journal gives the
following account of the remarkable es-
cape of man from punishment for sup
posed murder -
A case of deceptive circumstantial EVIL
dence lately came to our knowledge, than
which, we believe, more remarkable
cannot be found on record. Our intor-
nation was obtained from one who was
personally engaged in the Investigations
attending it.
In a country town in the State of Maine,
some weeks since, the wife of labouring
man, who had lived for long time on
very Indifferent terms with her, suddenly
died. AS she was in apparently perfect

In earthen vessels, and were allowed to
grow cold; they had been kept long
enough to have turned acid to slight de-
gree, and when they were placed in the
oven to be re-heated, the action of the acid
on the sides of the Jar, decomposed the
glazing with which the interiour of the lar
was coated, and of which sulphurate of lead
is the chief Ingredient, poisonous SUBJ
stance was thus developed, and infused
into the contents of the jar, and those eat
ing of the beans were attacked with
symptoms of illness more or less severe,
according to the part ofthe jar from which
the beans were taken of which they ate.
After this, it was not difficult to admit,
that the arsenic found in the mans pos
session, might have been purchased for
the destruction of rats, as he constantly
averred to be the case.
We leave this statement, the authentic
ity of which may be confidently relied on,
to the reflections of our readers. They
can have little doubt, that had this indi-
vidual been brought to trial, las he would
have been but for this interposition with
out the examination of the body, his life
would have been sacri6ced-few Jurors
would have hesitated to convict him. 1t
would have been one instance added to
the many on record, of the danger of re-
rance on mere circumstantial evidence,
however strong, and the Importance of
thoroughness in the investigation of all
questions Of medical jurisprudence.

MUSCULAR STRENGTH. The muscular
power of the human body is wonderful.
A Turkish porter will run along carrying
weight of 600Ibs; and Milo, of Crotona,
is said to have lifted an OK weighing up
wards of l,0OOlbs. Halter mentions that
he saw an instance of man whose finger
being caught in chain at the bottom Of
a mine, by keeping it forcibly bent, sup.
ported by that means the weight of his
whole body, 150lbs., till he was drawn up
to the surface, height of 600 feet. Au-
gustus H., King of Poland, could, with
his fingers, roll up silver dish like sheet
of paper, and twist the strongest horse

The most prodigious power of the mus.
cles is exhibited by fish. A whale moves
with velocity through the dense medium
of water, that would carry him, if contin-
ued at the same rate, round the world in
little more than fortnight: and sword

A SLEEPING BEAUTY. The celebrated
Professor Hufeland, in his Medical Jour.
nal, mentions the case of girl in Silesia,
who has fallen into lethargy which has
lasted two years and four months. When
this curious disease first seized her, she
was unable to open her eyes when she
awoke; and when questioned by the per.
sons about her, respecting her malady,
she could not articulate, but dropped tears
indicative of the unhappy state she was in.
AS the disease advanced, slight motion
in the fingers marked the approach of con-
seriousness. The moment she has swal-
lowed little milk, or other light rourish-
ment, she sinks into slumber again. Her
strength has sensibly diminished, and it
is thought she cannot live much longer.
DIR. Hufeland states, that this malady is
much more common of late than for
merely.

JUVENILE DEPRAyITY. A lad of the
name of Morris, fifteen years of age, from
Manchester, was apprehended OH Friday
last, for stealing several articles of jewell
lery from shop in Stockport. He was
committed to Knutsford sessions the next
day, tried on Monday, and received sem
tence of eighteen months Imprisonment.
During the trial, he showed all the hard
ened effrontery of the most Thoroughbred
villain, and just as the prosecutor was
about to quit the witness box, he hurled
his hat at him with dreadful imprecation.
He had no shoes or clogs on, fortunately,
or in all probability he would have chosen
one of them for his purpose; thus the
prosecutor escaped an intended serious
injury. The chairman demonstrated with
him on his conduct, telling him he was
doing himself great mischief; but in-
stead of showing the least sorrow for such
an act of wantonness, the young villain
told him " he might give him seven years
if he would, for he cared nothing about
it."
