Galrnnism. THE Boston Palladium relates
an amusing and singular incident which is said
to have occurred, a few evenings ago, at lee
ture room in Boston. Some Galvanic experiments
we're to be made, and large dog being select
ed for the purpose, he was executed about fifteen
minutes before the commencement Of the Lee
'nre. 1t being necessary to expose muscles or
nerves to the action of the battery, the dogs tail
was then cut Off At the first application Of the
GalyaDic power. poor tray who had only been
stunned by the blows he had received from the
executioner, reused himself, and. with a jump
and growl. seized the first man in his way by
the calf of the leg. ard then, in spite Of canes
and umbrellas, he ran. scattering blood profuse-
ly upon every body. to the door, which the sci.
entific company were glad to open for his escape.

Farther Particulars relative TO the Letter frank
ed by General Jackson to IA PENNSYLVANIA Sena-
tor previous to the call of the Legislative Caucus
that nominated him for reelection.
General Krepps, who received this letter, was
the first man that moved in the affair of getting up
meeting to procure Jackson's nomination. Don
nelson's letter to krepps dated tn, e9th of jan
uary. four days before the call of the meeting and
five before the meeting itself. The stage runs
every day between Harrisburg and Washington,
and General Krepps must have recei, ed his orders
from Dounelson by the lst of February, or the
evening before. On the second of February the
meeting was called. On the morning of the Sc
cond of February. General krepps. with his COM
mission in hand, moved in this affair He told
members of the legislature that now was the time
to move in this matter, and to show that he was
not mistaken, he showed his commission to some
as he supposed OF the faithful BY the counte
nance of some of his friends he wrote notice for
the call Of meeting of General Jackson's friends
to take place in committee room of the Capitol,
on Friday, the 4th of February. He gave this
notice to the transcribng clerk of the Senate, to
be transcribed in fair hand. worthy of the occa-

a most affecting dispensation of Providence;

last at about 6 o'clock Yesterday evening"
His remains were Inferred this day.
The sickness of this servant OF God was
attended with great suffering. The disease
itself and the highly nervous character which
1T put on caused not only much bodily suf-
iering, but great mental depression. Yet TO
the last, his mind was collected and perfectly
itself. Saturday morning he revived from a
death-like stupor, and sensible that the hand
OF death was upon him, he remarked that
there were few things which lie wished 10
say. lie then bid those who stood round
his bed an altcctioaate farewell: commend
ing his now deeply afflicted partner TO the
protection OF Heaven and expressing with
regard to all his friends, an undminished af-
lection lie spoke about fifteen minutes,
and found himself unable 10 proceed farther.
During the day, he said very little, and was
evidently in great bodily suffering. This
increased towards night. At nine, rousino
himself again, he said" Hcrcy is tri,tnl-
