22ld of September. The very jury on
whose verdict he was condemned, have pc
littoned for commutation of punishment
Wherever the case is known, the same feel

element, thousands of petitions have asked
the same. Lynn sent 500 signatures Hav-

human life in this case is not confned TO
Plymouth County. The whole Slate must
share the guilt of the execution, if it takes
place and the whole Stale should labor TO
avert il. Let every friend of humanity
whose eye this paragraph reaches, remember
that Governors and Councils need the aid
Of humanity 10 strengthen them 10 do their
duty in this case and pour in their petitions

Though the great body of the Common
wealth demands, and will sustain by its
warmest appreciation, the pardon of this I'M
fortunate man, there are not wanting some
few who desire Hood for blood, and who are

for it, is the 28th of september. Let not

Tile Organ MN with Tie Monhey, whom
every body knows, were passing along
Chatres street a few days since, when
they stopped on the side walk opposite
an auction store, where the organist com
menced dealing out portion of his stock
Of tunes The monkey performed his
monkey capers so well, that the auction
eer was soon left without a bidder. A
large audience were as much gTatified
with the tricks of the cunning animal
as in listening to the music. Suddenly
this caricature of humanity darted into
the raised window of fancy store, and
returned as quick TO his post on the organ
with something he had stolen from which
he adroltly drew off the case. Selling
razor, he proceeded to strop it with all
the aiacrity of an expert barber, to the
no small amusement of the delighted
throng, who rent the air with their APP
plause and laughter. The article (Which
the pleased musician purchased proved
to be one of the famous Magic Razor
Strop, of that Chapman, of 1O2 William
street, New York. The Inhabitants of
NewOrleans will long remember Chap
mans Strop,and not soon forget the Man
with the Monkey. -Picay@@e.

ed Robert Twigg, died yesterday NOR

supposed died from the effects Of poison.
He had, at the time, slight sore on his
hand.
On the same day his hand became in

enormous extent, with excessive pain. -

ony he fingered until yesterday morning,
when he died. Doctor Smith was in at
tendance, and advised the amputation Of
the limb, but this would not be consent
ed to. Various parts Of the body of the
deceased exhibit the effects of poison
