Important discovery in purifying Gold Sand
Our Virginia, CaroIlus, aud other gold mine pro-
prletors, will probably like TO know that the Ca
zette of Commerce, Of S.. Petsrsburgh, hes Just
published the results Of important experiments
made at the mines of Zletoust, in tbs different
methods OF extraction. by washing, the amalgam
and acids Col. Anassofi, of the corps of mining
engineers, conceived the fortunate thought of melt
ing the sands, TO extract first the iron. on the be-
lief that the grains Of gold were chiefly mingled
with the oxide of iron in the sands. The results
are these :-llls found the amalgam yielded eight
times more gold than washing, the moist way by
acids ten times more, and the melting of 2S00
pounds OF sand yielded twenty-nine times more.
These experiments are 10 be carried on upon
still greater scale, throughout the line of the Oursl

UNCOMMON TRIAL.-At the Goshen IN.
York Circuit Court, last week, the follow
ing trial took place.
James Decker was tried on an indlet-
ment for enticing from her parents with
out their consent, and marrying her, a
girl under fourteen years of age, named
Margaret ReIyea.
The offence is punishable by imprison-
ment in the State Prison for term not
exceeding three years, or confinement in
the county jail for term not exceeding
one year, or by fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars, or by both of the latter.
The prisoner is young man of about
nineteen years of age, and probably was
not aware of the nature of the offence and
punishment prescribed for it in the statute.
He appeared very much affected and wept
freely while the jury were out celebrating
upon his case. The parties reside in the
village of Warwick. and from the testimo-
ny it appeared that the young bride was
willing victim. On the morning OF the
elopement she proceeded on foot with
her intended and his sister, from Warwick
to Ederville, distance of several miles,
with a view of having the marriage
solemnized before Esquire Houston. That
gentleman being absent from home, the
bride suggested the propriety of going on
to Amity, dcclaiming that "if it 1oas not
fred now, it neuer aoou1d be fred." The
Jury returned a verdict of guilty.

A ROYAL KIcK-We have heard an an
ecdote of the king, not mentioned IN the
newspapers. During his serviec, of the
coast of Canada, the prince made an in
cursion into Upper Canada, and crossed
over into the State Of Vermont. lie went
into tailor's shop and saw his wife, a re.
markably pretty woman. The husband
being in a back room, the Prince sans
ceremonie ravished kiss from the lady,
and said, "There! now tell your country
women that the son of the king of England
has kissed Yankee tailor's wile."-Un-
happily, the tailor himself made his APP
pearance at that moment: and being an
athletic fellow, gave the scion of royalty
a tremendous kick: "There" said ne,
ego and tell your country women that a
Yankee tailor has kicked the son OF the
king Of England" According to the story,
which is still current and firmly credited
in vermont, the young prince was glad to
get off on these terms.

la conclusion, the Colonel appeals to the
coarsest prejudices which he supposes to
belong tothe popular mass. lie talks de-
ridingly cf ''scrub aristocracy ofthe towns,
men that feei themselves superior to the
multitude because better dressed and better
fed.n &c. &c. and asks the people of the
new counties to stick to him, for he has
always been their friend and advocate!
When pray? What did he ever do for the
new counties? Really have never be-
come informed.
A precious morceau most truly, ema,
mating from man who has broken all
his pledges; who claims to be elected for
two wears, when he knows he was only
elected for two months, and who says more
what every man in Mississippi knows to
be unlounded, that the whole people of the
State considered him as canVassng IN the
late congressional contest for two years
right to sit in Congress. If there be one
man in the whole State who thus consld-
cred the matter, have not yet encounter
ed him. Will the people of Mississippi
submit patiently to this fragrant violation
ofpledges, this most unparalleled shutting,
this violent attempt to usurp upon their
rights? cannot believe it: Il will not fearlt.

New LIGHT OF LovE.--An ancient French
paper contains an account OF lover who
certainly burnt with one of the strongest
passions we ever remember to have seen
recorded. His mistress proved untaithtul
to him--he called his servant, informed
him thai it was his intention to kill him
self, and requested, after his death, that
he would make a candle Of his tat, and
carry it lighted to his mistress. He then
wrote letter, in which he told her, that
as he had long burnt for her, she might
now see that his flames were real, for the
candle by which she would read that note
was composed of part of his miserable
body.

thought that one so true to thAdead, could
not prove but true to the living. She de-
cined his intentions, for her thoughts
were irrecoverably engrossed with the
lmemory of former lover. However, he
pc sisted in his suit. He solicited not her
tenderness, but her esteem. He was assis-
ted in her conviction of her own destitute
and dependent situation, for she was exls-
ting on the kindness of her friends. In a
word. he at length succeeded in gaining
her hand though with the solemn assu-
rance that her heart was utterly another's'
He took her with him to Sicily, hoping
that change of scene might wear out
their remembrance of early woes. She
was an amiable and exemplary wife and
made an effort to be a happy one; but
nothing could cure the silent and devour,
ing melancholy that had entered into her
very soul. She wasted away into slow
but hopeless decline, and at last sunk into
the grave the victim of broken heart.

During the French revolution, the Earl

he expected his turn to come, and was not
at all astonished when one fine morning
the roll was called and he was amongst
the victims. He is ready, dressed in a
few minutes, but--can't find his boots!
The turnkey helps him--but all search in
van.-"Well, you see | can't go without
my boots. that's plain, so you had better
put me off till tomorrow" The turnkey,
by no means a hard hearted unreasonable
man, consents-one head more or less was
of no consequence in those times! The
next morning his boots are found but his
name is not called; and neither he nor the
turnkey find it necessary to mention the
case. A few days after Robesplerre Tell ;

were deposited many centuries agoin Ayr

and planted with oak and other trees.
On the centre and highest part of this
mound are two large stones masses of
basalt, which, according to tradition, mark
the spot of his interment, The names
borne by places in the vicinity are in
keeping of this tradition, and the beautiful
mansion of Coilsfeld-one of the seats oil
the Earl of Eginton-takes its name from
the good old King. Regard for tradition
airy evidence and love of historical truth
has induced some of the curious recently
to open the grave. The two large stones
were removed, and the centre was found
10 be occupied by boulder stones of con
siderable size. When the excavators hac
reached the depth of four feet they came
on flag stone of circular form, abou
three feet in diameter. This stone was
| lifted up, and under it was found a guam
tity of dry, yellow, sandy clay, then g
small Aag-stone laid horizontally, covering

were believed to be the ashes of the illus
trious dead. He is said to have lived BOO
