but when he ascended, and his apostles after
him were laid asleep, then straight arose

goes of the Egyptian Typhon with his con
spirators, how they dealt with the good U.s.

form into thousand pieces and scattered
them 10 the four winds. From that time ev'

durst appear, initiating the careful seach that

Op1G1N OF THE CoRoNER's JURY.--The
following paragraph, which may convey some
information 10 the unlearned pubic, we
copy from recent number of the London
Times:
"a lady in London, having buried six hus-
bands united herself to the seventh. For
months The newly married couple lived happl-
" together, the lady frequently declaring
that at last she had met with good hus-
band. all her former ones having disguised
her with their drunkenness. TO ascertain
her real character, her seventh mate preten-
ded drunkenness. which provoked reproach-
es and menaces. He returned home anoth-
er evening, apparently very drunk, and haV'
inc cone 10 bed, affected to be asleep
While he was in that state, the wife etool
from her gown sleeve a piece OF lead, Which
she melted, and approaching her husband at
tempted, by the means of a pipe, 10 pour
into his ear. He instantly started up, seze'
and accused her of the crime she could no
DENY. The bodies Of her six husbands wer
disintc.sed, wien 1t was discovered that the
. all had died by the same means. She wa

MEXICO.

What a strange idea one forms of the
city of Mexico before seeing it - taking
opinions from the books and correspond
ence of tourists = and, withal, how erro-
neous. We had pictured a low, dirty,
sickly town. half covered with water and
entirely inundated with mud, and other
et ceteras IN unison. What was our sur
prise on first entering the Grand Plaza.
perhaps the most magnificent in the
world There stood the grand Cathe-
dral, monument of art - mine OF
wealth. There, too, was the palace, In
describable in its grandeur and extent -
the red-white-and, green flag of the Re-
public still floating upon it! There were
the halls of justice, the palace of the Go
vernon, the long portals where fabrics OF
every nation are battered for the products
of the country, including yellow and
bright " castiDs." And there were groves
Of trees, and murmuring fountains, spark
ling in the bright, sun-liLe brilliants -
Such temples, such palaces, such portals,
such alamedas, such fountains God Of
heaven what an Eden is this ! and how
little is it appreciated by the thousands
who daily behold and enjoy It's beauties
Governed by good men and inhabited by
an educated people, It would be the gar,
den Of the earth.
But, as il is, what climate is more love
" where, as here, do the flowers bloom
always 50 brightly! the birds ever sing
SO swcctIy! Mexico there are none "a
mong your hayward children who can
appreciate the gifts that God has lavished
upon them. Health, wealth and every
enjoyment that man can covet are their
inheritance yet they are not happy !.
The iron foot Of military tyranny has
scourgcd the country in its length and
breadth. Attilla boosted that the grass
never grew upon the ground trodden by
his war horse Santa Anna can repeat the
boast and no one will say no. His very
name is a blight upon his native land.
But Mexico begins 10 hope for better
times. GIeamings of peace and Olsen
thralment are already breaking the dark
ness Of her Eastern horizon and daily
growing brighter. God speed them!

Something an N0me.-Attention has
some times been called to the appropriate
ness of the names of our military leaders.
Taylor has in, a variety of ways se1ced
up the Mexican nation. Scott has fully
proved his claims 10 the apple lation of
Vim field. Worth might have taken his
name from his character and deeds
Pierce has gone through the enemy like
streak of lightning, while the heavy blows
of the Smith rung loud and clear on the
Mexican anvil. Uool, they say, has UooI-
ed our foes; and Twicgs, tloigged them to
some purpose. PiHOU invited many a
Mexican TO his last slumber. Butler tap
ped his share of Mexicn barrels at Monter-
ev, while Hunter started the game out of
AIvarado, and gave his commander no
chance to be in at the death. The India
IA general showed Santa Anna that there
was no"turning" in that Lane. Some of
our officers have proved even better than
their names. Childs showed at Puebla
that he was no baby, and Bragg proved
himself more than boaster at Buena Wis

Although Disappointed, cannot forget thee.

And should il be weakness, can bu, regret thee,
And sigh when thine image
As the storm that sweeps over the ocean.

So thy breast viii betray emotion,
For the grief thou hast planted in mine.
Shnild you slight semblance of sorrow,
Those embiems Of grief viii depart
Thy tears viii be dried on the morrow,
But Turks deep in my heart.

That you [ can never forget;
And should smiling words YET be spoken.
Let them pass never had met.

LATE AND IMPORTANT.
FROM VERA CRUZ.

Dates from the capital, TO the oath of
November, had been received at Vera
Cruz. Santa Anna, it was said, had is
sued another pronlmciamentO against the
provisional government, and called or the
country TO organize force of fifty thou
sand men to renew the war. He was at
the head of a strong force by some re-
ports sixteen thousand men, of all arms
and was threatening the Congress, in ses-
sion at Queretaro, the majority of which
was, it was said, strongly inclined to
peace. So great were the fears enter
tanned at the capital, of Santa Annals
breaking up the Congress Ia Cromwell,
that Gen. Scott had ordered Gen. Worth
with a strong division, to Queretaro, TO
protect its deliberations.
The Louisiana battalion of Mounted
Men have had something of "a showing
with the Guerrillas. On the 23d, four OF
the men Of Company d left camp TO pro-
cure some beeves. Their long absence
alarmed those in camp, and Lieut.. Hunt
er, Of the same company, taking squad
of twenty men, proceeded on the morning
Of the oath in search of the missing men.
As he approached the rancho Of Col. Ze-
nobia, some eighteen miles from Vera
Cruz, he was attacked by strong guer-
riIla force, and was compelled TO retreat to
camp. Capt. Geo. Kerr, commanding
company {, with ninety men and three
subalterns, was ordered out in pursuit of
the guerrillas, taking Lieut.. Hunter as a
guide. On the night of the 24th, Capt.
Kerr reached the rancho of Col. Zenobia,
where a strong guerrilla force was posted
and after a short but decisive conflict,
succeeded in killing five of the enemy
and taking five prisoners. As 1t was eyl-
the 23d were murdered by portion of
Zenobia's men, one of the prisoners ia
ken at the rancho having on the clothing
of one of the missing men, Capt. Kerr
proceeded to take ample vengeance on the
enemy. The rancho was burned to the
ground, and the five guerrilIas shot The
guerrillas amounted TO some eighty or
ninety, and left considerable amount of
cartridges, dry goods &c, when they isit

of treating the guerrillas, has had saiu

age, and was in the possession of for
tune estimated at 100000 francs.
Her only companion was female
attendant named Margaret, almost as
old as herself, and to whom she paid
100 francs wages annually She
lived In entire seclusion, never lighted
either lamp or fire, and receiving from
her tenants in the country different
articles of produce. such as milk, but
ter and cheese, as we'll as poultry,
which she caused to be sold at market
This old woman inhabited one of her
own houses, and she did net spend
more than 200 francs year. Mean
she was extremely eager in collecting
her rents, and people puzzled them
selves with conJectures as to how she
disposed of her money.
One day Margaret, the old woman
who for thirty years had shared her
life of privation, thinking that her long
devotedness and her services merited
a tard y recompense, ventured to speak
to Madame r. of her will. She tried
to make her understand that the way
to make her memory loved and honor
ed, was to do good TO those who had
taken care of US. But the old women
eluded the subject, and when Marga-
ret persisted she declared plainly, that
she would not leave her any thing at
her death. This harshness and in
gratitude affected the old and faithful
servant so sadly, that she retired into
a corner of the house and hung her
self
1t was not till the evening, and af-
ter her prolonged absence had caused
considerable uneasiness, that she was
found dead. The sad event was an
nounced to Madame Il. She did not
however, seem to be much affected
by it, but contented herself with say
ing-"Ah, we'll, she is very happy,
very happy she is"
The next day, however, she rose
pale and fatigued; and having been
questioned by the neighbors she an
swered that she had not slept all night;
that she had constantly before her
eyes the figure of poor Margaret dy-
ing by the cord. At night she went
to bed earlier even than usual, but
it was never to rise again, for in the
morning she was found dead in her
bed.
The poverty of her dwelling was
such that a neighbor was compelled
to lend the cloth for funeral garments.
The authorities Immediately proceed,
ed to the spot to place seals on the
prODerty. for the interest of the COL
lateral heirs, for she had no direct ones.
In beginning their search they found
IN an old trunk, filled with rubbish, the
sum of 40, 900 francs, under the kitch-
en- tiles; and in other hiding places,
10000 francs. A note written by
the deceased mentions the sum of Co.
600, which is buried in place not de-
signated, and which has not yet been
found.
