The following brief history of the fate of

city of Ethiopia.
St. Marks was dragged through the streets
of Alexandra, in Egypt till he expired.
ST. Luke was hanged upon an olive tree
in Greece.
ST. John was put in a cauldrom of boiling
oil at Rome, and escaped death! He after
wards died natural death at Ephesus, in
Asia.

rusalem.

pinnacle, or wing of the temple, and then
beaten TO death with fuller's club.
81. Philip was hanged up against piller
at Hierapolis, city of Phrygia.
ST. Bartholomew was flayed alive, by The

VIRGINIA.

The Cincinnati Correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier writes that he had news
from 50 counties, showing Wing gain on
the majorties of 1910 of 1914, and De-
mocratic gainof l266--showing a nett Wing
gain. Ifthis is so, and the gains in the bal
ance of the State have been proportionate,
ii has gone for Clay.
The Baltimore Clipper has reported re-
turns from "a counties, giving majority ol
1876 for Polk, and which, compared with the
vote ofale40, show Democratic gain o.
l60. There is report, however, that Clay:
majority in Loudon is only 500, which, i
correct, will make Folks gain AGO.

INDIANA.

There is no doubt but Indiana has dis
graced herself, and gone for Polk, Free
Trade, Annexation, Treasury, and all
the other principles of the locos, including
their opposition TO Mr.. Clay. 1t is unneces-
sary for US to say with this result, we are
dissatisfied and disappointed. We had hop
ed and expected better things; "Democracy"
however, we are told, sis progressive," and
in this case it has over reached all honest
calculation. The majority for Polk will be
small, 1900 or 1900, but ii is enough. We
shall not stop now to enumerate the causes
which led to this defeat. 1t is enough for US
TO know that we are beaten. There is, how
ever, one green spot in the dark waste which
surrounds US, over which we may rejoice,
and to which we would direct the eyes of
the beaten Wings ia the State--the little
the glorious lille county of WANDER
BUGGH--the banner county of the State.
Here, where the Wings had so little TO. ex-
pect, they succeeded in defeating their op-
ponents, and had the other counties have
done half as we!l Clay would have carried
the State by handsome majority. The TO-
cofoco majority in August in this county was
81; since then about 90 foreigners have
been naturalized, IS ofwhom voted Cor Polk
Ut, notwithstanding, the Wings succeeded
in carrying the county for Clay by MAORI

greatly indebted to their German friends
and other naturalized citizens, who lahore,

The man who had bis wife murdered before
his eyes, went as their guide, with anumber
of bloodhounds, that no possible means might
be leh uninterrupted 10 discover the haunt
of these .execrabe Williams.
They searched the woods, traversed and
examined the sea-shore; but, though they
passed by the entrance into their cave, they
had no suspicion that any creature resided
in that dark and dismal abode. Fortunase-
ly, however, some of the blood-hounds enter
ed the cave, and raised up an uncommon
barking aud noise, indicating thai they were
about 10 seize their prey. The King and
his men returned, but could scarcely con-
ceve how any humln being could reside in
place of utter dlrkness, aud where the en-.
trance was difficult and narrow; but as the
blood-hounds ncreasediu their sociferation,
aud refused to return, il occurred to all that
The cave ought 10 be explored to The extre.
miiy. Accordingly Il sufficient number of
torches were provided. The hounds were
permitted to pursue their course-a great
number of men penetrated through all the
inuicacies of the path, and at length arrived
at the private residence of these horrible
canufbals
They were followed by all the band-who
were shocked tobehoid sight unequalled
in Scotland, il not many parl ofthe Universe.
Legs, arms. thighs, hands, aud feet OF men,
women and children, were suspended in
rows like beef. Some limbs and other men,
bers were found in pickle, while a great mass
of money, both OF gold and silver, watches,
rings, pistols, clothes, with an innumerable
quantity of other articles, were thrown to-
geiher in heaps or suspended upsn the sides
Of The cave.
The whole cruel, brutal family, TO the
number formerly mentioned, were seized;
the human flesh buried in the sand of the
sea-shore; The immense booty carried away,
and the King marched 10 Edinburgh wiihihc
prisoners. This new and wretched spectacle
attracted the attention of the inhabitants,
who iiocked from all quarters TO see this
bloody and unnatural family as they passed
