Paris Messenger gives the following:
|"The government, few years ago, left TO
three criminals condemned to death, the
choice of dying on the gallows, or adopt

was to take tea, the second coffee, and the
third chocolate, and to live as long as they
could, but were to eat nothing with either
these conditions were eagerly accepted.
The last who took chocolate died in eight
months: he who took coffee, lived two
years; and the tea drinker survived three
years. The man who took chocolate died
in state Of complete decomposition, and
was so much eaten bv worms, that during
his life his limbs separated one by one
from his body. The man who drank cof-
fee was 50 disfigured after his death that
one would have said that the fire Of hea-
ven had burnt his entrails, aud cacined
him from head to foot. The tea drinker

there all Sunday night and Monday, and on
Tuesday morning, the Goth and 9th ult.
there was depth of six inches remaining
ON the ground. Had none of it melted, he
snpposes it would have been two feet deep.
SnoW.-The Boston papers state that on
Monday morning, about two o'clock, that
city was visited with a violent snow and
hail storm, accompanied with heavy thun-
der, and vivid and frequent flashes of light
ming. At sunrise, there was an inch of snow
on the ground, and the weather was so cold
through the day, that some of it was vsi-
ole in the afternoon. In some of the neigh
boring towns, the storm was even more vio-
lent the snow covering the ground TO the
depth of two or three inches.
A barn in Stonington was struck by light,
ming during the storm, and consumed, to-
gether with several tons of hay, one cow
and farming utensils.
The storm was very severe in New Bed
ford and Fall River. The thunder was ter
rifle, and hail stones, of an unusual size, fell.
In Mansfield and Foxborough, the snow
was two or three inches deep.
The Troy Mail states that there was a
heavy fall of snow in that city and vicinity
on Sunday night.

1.-The only natural inference, therefore,
from his refusal TO stand another contest,
was, that he felt no confidence in the valid
ity of his claim to a seat in Congress, in
other words, that he was satisfied fraud
has been committed, and did not wish to
stand in situation where the odium of it
would fall upon his ahoulders. And when,
upon this strong circumstantal evidence,
came the still stronger evidence of the bal

of testimony? ? We venture to say, not
one. The evidence, to our mind, is strong

which silver will bear; the cost of it is less
than id an ounce. Another improvement
is in steel; an Englishman at Brussels has
discovered a mode of casting iron so that it
flows from the furnace pure steel, better
than the best cast steel in England, and al
most equal to that which has undergone the
process Of beating. The cost of this steel
is only farthing per pound greater than

of the shoals of Nantucket not many miles
