LORENZO DOW.


Was an oddly, Of the oedcst kind.
His sayings for a time, like those of
the celebrated Rowlin Hill filled the
newspapers, anC pleased the people
from Maine 10 Louisiana. Dow was
known in all parts of the Union; and
it sprobable that not a town nor city
OF any note was left unvisited by him.
The story ofhis raising the Devil,
and the way he did it, is we'll known.
The best aOecdote of him is, that being
at a Hotel kept by one Bush, in Delhi,
N, Y. the residence Of the celebrated
General Root, he was impOrtuned
by the latter gentleman, 10 the pres
ence of the landlord 10 describe Heav
en. "You say great deal about that
place." said the General, tell US how
it looks" Lorenzo turned his grave
face, and long waving beard, towards
Messrs. Bush and Root, and replied
with imperturable gravity, Heaven,
friends, is a vast extent of smooth,
rich territory, there is not root nor
bush in il, and there never will be. "
Asbestos chests for preserving merch
ants papers. books &c are getting into
great vogue in Baltimore. Several sue
cessfuI experiments have been made with
them-heatng them red hot. while the
contents remained perfectly unchanged.
Asbestos is an excellent non.conductor
ofheat, and of mineral fibrous texture
resembling fax when flexible. as it often
is-going then under tho name Of Amian
thus. Its character is magnesian.
The MATCH RACE on the New
York course, between the Northern

nesday. The race was won by Colo.

four mile heats 10 succession. Much
interest was excited, and good deal
of money is said TO have been lost and

FATE OF A ROBBER AND III
WIFE.

We translate the following from
French paper:-
An Individual passing through tht
wood in the departme 1t of Liugres
at the commencement Of The evening
was stopped by a man with a pistol il
his hand, who demanded his purse O
his life; The traveller gave him abou
l2 francs, affirming that he had nj
more in his possession. The robbel
took the money, and The stranger Aad
from him with all possible speed, tren
bling with fear, but twiths'anding
we'll satisfied with escaping on such
good terms. He soon arrived at a
farm, where he thought himself Sc.
cure; he claimed the hospitality Of the
sinmate, after relating the unfortunate
adventure, and imprudeutly added
that he had succeeded in conceaIing a
large sum Of money from the rspacity
of the robber. The mistress of the
house, who was then alone offered
him an asylum, and told him he
should sleep in the hay loft, this ofor
was accepted with gratitude, TIE rrav
eller preferring to lodge badly than
run any more risk by going further.
He had scarcely entered The hay loft
when the master of the house arrived:
The latter announced 10 his wife that
fortune had been this time uufavorabIe
to him; that hehad only met with one
stranger, from whom he had obtained
12 francs.
The woman Immediately knew that
the person she had sheltered was the
individual er'iusband he'd robbed,
and she disclosed to him what had
passed during g'the absence Of the rob
ber, and they agreed that the man
should mount the hay loft when the
stranger was asleep, and precipiate
him into the under apartment. where
thewoman was TO stand prepared with
a 'hstthetready 10 despatch him. For.
tunateIy for the stranger, he over
heard every-word of this conversation
and kept himself on his guard for The
moment The robber should approach
him; this happened avery short time
afterwards, when the stranger preten
ded to have fallen esIeep. On the rob
ber'S approach, the traveller struck
him a violent blow on the head with
stick which had the effect of precipi.
tating him into the room below, where
The wife, with single blow, severed
the head from the body. The stranger
made his escape, and, on his arrival at
the next village, he denounced the
woman. She was afterwards arrested
and executed for the murder Of her
own husband.
