and dark.
The next time | saw the woman was in the

the two men that she said had killed her. She
replied. "There will be time. The time is

times. "But oh their end! Their end! their
wicked end" and muttered something about
Joseph, and all was dark.
The next time | saw her was on the 9Th of
November, about midnight, in the bed room.
She was dressed in white; her hands hung
down by her side; stood very straight, and look
ed very pale. She said, 81 don't want any

ed over something did not understand, except
now and then the word Joseph She then said,
81 wanted to tell a secret and thought had. "
And all was gone and dark.
In all her conversation she used the Irish ac-
cent ntermixed in all her conversations, was
the expression very often repeated, 'they kilt
me, Oh they kilt me-" and also the name of
Joseph.
The above was duly sworn to before William
Perry, Esq, at Ann AIbor, Dec. 8, l845.
This singular storymade so much impression
upon the people of that vicinity, that the body
was dsinterred, an inquest held, and a verdict
rendered that the deceased came to her death
by poison. Van Woert was stranger in that
place, and knew nothing of the circumstances
until they were revealed to him as above relat-
ed. So much for superstition and humbug.

the following extract of a letter from a gem
tleman in Vera Cruz, dated the LIST inst:
81 acquainted you yesterday with project
ed revolution which was to have taken place
last evening; but it was put off until this
morning to consult Gen. Almonte, who was
expected.
called, when it was found there were two
parties-one for the immediate return of Santa
Anna to be placed at the head of the govern
ment; and the other in favor of pronouncing
for General Almonte, with the proviso that
the doors should be opened for those that Pa
Iedes had banished; and if the voice of the
people placed Santa Anna again at the head of
affairs, it was we'll. So the junta broke up;
General Almonte will quietly embark on
board the British steamer Havana, on his way
to France, where President Paroles has sent
him.
"An American frigate has just anchored at
SACRIFICES, which take to be the Potomac.
"There are ten miles outside, $50 troops
from Mexico bound to this CITY,"
The same paper publishes the following OK
tract of letter, also from Vera Cruz:
'FIn few days after their revolt, the troops
ofAmpudia returned to their duty, and the di-
vision under his command, said to be 5000
strong, marched on the 18th instant from San
Luis Potosi, for Matamoras, on the banks Of
the Del Norte. The division OF Gen. Vega,
who succeeded Arista, it is said, is also on the
march from Monterey to that point.
"Besdes loan of one million eight hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars, which the
government negotiated short time since, other
means have been adopted to raise funds, which
it is believed, will enable it to assemble
force of six or seven thousand men on the
Del Norte by the end of March, or the middle
of April
"Several of the departmental assemblies
have refused to act under the present govern
ment. In consequence of this, a decree has
lately been issued vesting authority in the gov
ernors of the different departments TO elect
members of assembly. This, with his arbitra-
ry decree against the press, and suspicion
that he is favorable to monarchy, has render
ed General Paroles extremely unpopular, and
it is believed, will combine a party sufficient
ly powerful to overthrow his government
Ii is said that the commander of the English
ship-ofwar off Vera Cruz, expects an English
squadron of two shipsof-the line, two trlgates,
and some smaller vessels soon to arrive from
England"
