NAT 1URNEk-Ne have now the sa-
tisfactlon OF announcing that we have inlor-
nation which leaves no doubt of the appre-
hension of this attrocious villain: il is deriv-
ed from citizen of Southampton who we
saw last evening. and with whom we con-
versed He states, that on Thursday last,
Nat was started out of fodder stack by a
Mr. Francis. who fred at him with pistol,
but missed him, and he escaped This cir
cumstanee being made known in the neigh
bourheod. number Of persons collected to-
gether and went in pursuit of him On Sun
day morning last, one of the party, Mr..
2kisps, came upon him IN covertnre ofbrush
wood, so suddenly, that he had not time to
attempt TO escape, but at the risk OF being
shot down, and he surrendered without re
,;staBce, and was conducted to Jerusalem,
where he was committed TO the county jail
Our informant did not see Nat, but these
particulars were related to him by more than
a dozen people whom he met on his way
through the county.
The above account corroborates the state
ment Of gentleman who arrived at Ports
mouth, yesterday, from Suffolk. lie informs
that two travellers had arrived at Suffolk,
who passed through Jerusalem. where they
stopped on Sunday night, and thar they were
told Of Mats capture. precisely in the man.
ner as stated above, but having heard so ma
nv fabulous reports OF it before, they felt
that il would not be believed if reported YER
bally by them oR their arrival at Suffolk, and
they were so particular as to request letter
from respectable citizen at Jerusalem %
some gentleman in Suffolk, which was &C
cordingly written. with statement OF all the
circumstances of the capture, to K. White
head, Esq. of Suffolk, to whom they deliv-
cred it. These gentlemen added, that on
their arrival at Jerusalem, the people were
firing guns by way of rejoicing for the cap
ture OF Nat. Yesterday being one of the
DAYS that the mail does not arrive from Suf-
folk, will account for our not receiving let
ters respecting this interesting event.
The place where Nat is said TO have been
taken. is in the midst of the scene of his
massacres. and within mile or two OF Mrs

From Liberia-A letter from one OF the

Of the continued prosperity Of the Colony,
and states that one OF their small vessels had

lying in Liberia Roads at the time, and was
going in pursuit Of the pirate. Business was
quite brisk in the settlement There were s

The garden, also, can be very considerably
advanced, within the same short period, which
will suffice for developing the Improvements OF
the cemetery. The nurseries may be established,
the departments for culinary vegetables. fruit and
ornamental trees, shrubs aud 1owers, laid out
and planted, a greenhouse built, hOt-beds formed.
the small ponds and morasses converted into pic
turesuue sheets of water. and the margins diver
sified by clumps aud belts of our most splendid
native Towering trees and shrubs, requiring a
soil thus constituted for their successful %cultiva-
ton, while their surface may be spapgled with
the brilliant blossoms of the Nymphaa, and the
other beautiful tribes Of aquatic plants. The
excavations for deepening and enlarging the
ponds and morasses will afford an inexhausti-
BILE source of manure, Of invaluable consequence
to the garden, as well as for those portions Of
the cemetery which will be embeilished by cult
waited plants.
From these favorable circumstances and the
generous zeal which has been evinced for the ener.
ge,ic prosecution Of Tie iid66ors which are required
to perfect the details of the whole extensive plan,
there no longer remains the leas: doubt, that in
the summer of 1884. Mount Auburn will rival

Mount .4aJurn Cemaery.-We have already
informed our readers, that the citizens OF Boston
have purchased a beautiful piece of ground not
far from their city, for the purpose OF converting
it into a burial ground on the plan of that OF Pere
la Chase. near Paris. Some idea may be formed
of this plan by the following extract from the re-
port of the committee appointed to lay out and
arrange the grounds:
As the tract which which has been solcmnly
consecrated, by religious ceremonies. as a burial
place forever, is so abundantly covered with to.
rest trees, many Of which are more than 60 years
old, it only requires the avenues to be formed.
the borders, for some ten feet IN width, planted
with shrubs and dubious and perennial flowers,
the underwood cleared out, the fences, gateways
and appropriate ediiices erected, to put the
grounds in a sufficiently complete state for the
use designed, and to render them at once beauti-
ful and interesting. All this can be done with
in two years, at a comparatively small expense.
and a result produced which could not have been
realized for forty wears, if it had been necessary
to have commenced the establishment by planting
or setting out forest trees, There are numerous
majestic oaks, pines, beeches and walnuts which
have braved the storms Of a century. Towering
aloft amidst the general verdure. and extending
their huge branches far and wide, they appear as
the venerable monarchs Of the grove, but still
exhibit the vigor Of their l%uxuriant PROGENY.
