The Results of an Erecsaton.--A letter

the execution of a man, named Breitfeldt, took
place for murder, robbery, and ineendiarism.

delinquent is placed on a block, before which
a trench is dug, into which the head falls,
and where the body Of the oulprit ia afterwards
THROWN and then covered over with earth.
There exists among the common people a
strange belief that the blood OF a decaptated
person taken Internally is a sovereign cure
for epilepsy, and the custom handed down from
time i~mmemorial is to permit the spectators
to take the blood. As soon as Breitfeldt's
head had fallen an elderly peasant woma
rushed forward with d morsel of bread in her
hand, TO soak il in the sanguinary stream spout
ing from the trunk, but Just as she was stretch
ing forth her hand one Of her fits seized her,
and she feal dead in the trench. The other
incident which marked The day was caused
by q quarrel which arose between a porter
and a carpenter. The former at last gave the
latter a blow in the face, on which the other
.,,n,,n, s,aa. struck him a violent blow
with an axe, ana SPLIT bis skull to tlc- "eesf
