put an end to his life in the following
manner. He procured a gun, destitute

muzzle was raised on crotch about one
foot--he then took off his coat and vest,
seated himself on board before the
gun, struck fire with tinder, lighted a
match he had placed in the end of a
stick and touched the priming, when the
charge went off, one ball passed through
his heart and the other lodged in his
side, killing him instantly. He was a
native of Beverly, and has lived in Man
chester about five years. For the year

Among the recent deaths in the State
Prison at Sing Sing, is mentioned that of
Henry G. Livingston, alias VIM. s. Javhsuu.
alias Benz. Scott, who had rendered him.
self notorious as q sharper and imposter.
This was the man who practised hold and
successful fraud on Gen. Bogardus and Mr..
Samuel Judd, the particulars Of which were
brought out on his trial. At the time when
these crimes were committed he he'd but
recently been released from the Auburn
Prison, Of which he was an inmate for six
years. His conduct while there had been
excellent, and he had completely imposed
on his keepers in relation to his real char
acter, SO that he was recommended to the
Governor and released, although his sen.
tence extended to much longer period.
While at Sing Sing he formed very in
genious plan for escaping, and very nearly
succeeded. He clad himself in sailors
suit, made in his cell, going SO far as even
to manufacture tarpaulin hat, and to cast
metal buttons for his jacket. He was, how.
ever, recognized though his disguize and
such was his modification on being fettered
to heavy ball, that he cut his leg nearly off
with two blows of an axe, and had to suffer
amputation in consequence. The disease Of
which he recently died, was tho dropsy.
Such talents, if they had been devoted-to
the benefit of mankind, with but half the
zeuf with which they were employed in evil,
might have conferred extensive and lasting
benefit on his fellow beings. N. Y. Daily

Dreadful Death.--An inquest was
held on Saturday at St. Georges Hos
pital, on William Upjoln, 46 years of
age, who met his death in the following
manner The poor fellow who had been
long out of work, was assisting in the
repairs Of house in Bedford Place,
Vauxhall.road, and had assembled half
way up a ladder in front efthe building,
which is enclosed with sharp iron rails,
when suddenly he was observed to tot,er
from weakness, (being nearly reduced
to starvation,) and falling backward
from the ladder, he alighted on the iron
spikes beneath, which penetrated his
back to considerable depth, impaled
him alive The poor fellows agonisipg
shrielss brought several persons to his
relief, who. with great difficulty lifted
him down from the spikes, when the
blood ran from him q stream. The suf-
ferer was then conveyed to the hospital,
where he received every attention, but
the wounds found to be mortal, the spikes
having penetrated through the bones of
his back, ruptured several large blood
vessels in their progress, and he died in
great pain on Friday.-Bost. Pat. n

The present season has been remarkable
for the abundance of venomous reptiles,
which are to be found in the pastures and
fieldsin many Of the town in this vicinity
Many of the Oldest inhabitants aver that this
increase is beyond all they can recollect. A
gentleman at Manchester, a week since, De-,
ing in the pastures with a small child, his
attention was called to an object which seem
ed to interest the child much the child was
gazing intently on a large Rattlesna Ike,
wound into coil and having its head erect.
On the approach Of the gentlemun the snake
ran under a stone in the wall and finally
made its escape. The stone was turned over,
and glutinous bag, of the size of the gen
tleman's two hands was found, which con-
tanned eighty six young Rattlesnakes, from
one to six inches in, length, in perfect life
and animation. Many Of them were killed,
and the remainder on being exposed to the
heat Of the sun soon became animate. We
were not aware until this occurrence was

to return and live with them. She did
so, and Maria consented to accompany
her home, not to remain, bur for her
clothes which she had not previously Ia
ken away. At this time Gardner was
in his own house in company with Mr..
Bidweil, and as the mother and daugii-
ter approached, he went out and met
them in the road near the house---laid
hold Of Maria and plunged large butch

ly repeated the fatal stab. Mr.. Bidwell
hearing the screams ofthe deceased, ran
directly to her relief, but it was too late,
the shocking deed was done. Gardner
on'the' appearance of Bidwcll, dropt the
knife, gave himself up and was forth
with bound and secured by Mr.. Bidwell.
The girl, as soon as released from the
monsters grasp, run few rods, fell
down and Immediately expired.
Gardner is now imprisoned, and, as
the whole affair will undergo legal inves-

this unparalleled and barbarous trans
action. 9'c
