AN AFFECTING ScENE.-At Port Gibson,
MISS, short time, J F. Sia was tried and
convicted of the murder of Benjamin G..
Sims. The evidence of the principal wit
ness, young daughter Of the deceased,
was of the most affecting character She
said she had gone down the road to meet
her father on his return home that as she
approached she saw the accused rise from
a corner of fence and deliberately shoe,
him down. He approached his victim after
his fall, and despite her supplications and
tears, and the pleading of her parent, who
as he lay bleeding upon the ground, begged
the wretch TO spare his life for the sake of
his wife and children, the vagabond stab
bed the dying man in many places, and
stamped with his heavy heel upon the face
of his victim. The statement of the inter-
csting little girl was clear and distinct, inter-
rupted only by sobs and tears There was
not a dry eye in the house-every heart was
melted with sympathy. The council for
the accused threw up the case without a
word of defence, and the jury promptly re-
turned a verdict of guilty.
INDIAN RUBBER MoNEY-The New Ha-
ven County Bank has made an issue of one
dollar bills engraved on India Rubber, pre-
pared for the occasion. 1t is elastic, very
little thicker than paper, impervious to wa
ter, and not easily torn, or worn out The
signatures and filing up, in consequence Of
a previous preparation, have defed all ef
fort at obliteration, even that of boiling in
potash lye. These are the advantages en-
umerated by the New Haven Register
We may add one more to the list India
Rubber bills can be by little stretch of in
genuity made to go farther than mere paper
shin plasters.-South Pat.
CURIOUS TIME-PIEcE.-In one ofthe most
fashionable resorts in paris is cannon,
loaded and primed and so placed that the TO.
Gus of the burning glass falls upon the pow
der precisely at IL o'clock of course every
pleasant day, the hour of noon is indicated
by the firing of the cannon. On every such
day; a crowd gathers around 1t to watch the
progress of the sun spot, and the manner in
which the motion of the earth on its axis
is made to fire off artillery.
CURING HAMs.-The Bulington Gazette
publishes tlre famous Newbold receipt for
curing Hams The old gentleman was
very choice of his secret, and preserved it
until the dayof his death. After that event,
the receipt was found hid away in hole
in the cellar wall. Here 1t is 7 lbs coarse
salt, 5lbs brown sugar, 2 OF peari-ash, gal
Ions of water. Boil all together, and scum
the pickle we'll when cold. Put it on the
meat. Hams remain in it eight weeks
beef three weeks. The above is for 100 lbs
weight. ~

in the fact that the Turkish ambassador
was accompanied by his lady. The Prin-

tie of Buena Vista. The ball struck him in
the right foot below the ankle, while in the
act of charging the enemy on horseback.
He refused to leave the field during the fight,
and consequently the wound became pain.
ful put when it was supposed that the fight
would be continued on the 24th, he made ar
rangements to be carried at the head of his
Regiment in acagom! Such Il hero is

ance Of French corvette, and by bribing
the king Of the country with a musket and
ammunition, the fugitives were captured.
But It was more than probable that they
and others would renew the attemp, should
opportunity offer; SO there was no alterna-
tive but TO keep the sea, and hope for bet
ter days and for the convalescence Of the
invalids. Two Of these died. Neither Bible
nor prayer-book were on board the goddess
craft, and like dogs, without form Of Chris
tian burial, the dead we're launched into
the deep. The situation of the survivors
inspired with considerable uneasiness the
few amongst them capable Of reflection.
The captain was ignorant Of navigation; i.
was the mate who, from the commencement
Of the voyage, had kept the ships reckon
ing, and kept il all to himself He had
only TO get washed overheard in gale, or
to walk over in drunken fit, to leave his
shipmates in fix of the most unpleasant
description, ignorant of latitude, longitude,
and OF everything else necessary to be known
to guide the vessel on her course. And as
TO the sperm whales, which Jermn had
promised them in such abundance that they
would only have to strike and take, not a
single fin showed itself. AT last the captain
was reported dying, and the mate took
counsel with Long Ghost, Typee, and 9th
ers Of the crew. He would gladly have
continued the cruise, but his wish was
oyerruled, and The whaler's stern was turn
ed towards the Society Islands.
The first glimpse Of the peaks Of Tahiti
was hailed with transport by the Julia's
weary mariners They had got notion
that if the captain left the ship, their arti-
cles were no longer binding, and they should
be free TO follow his example And, at any
rate, the sickness on board and the shaky
condition of the barque, guaranteed them,
as they thought, long and blissful leisure
amongst the waving palm-groves and soft
eyed Neuhas OF Polynesia. Their arrival
in sight Of Papeelee, the Tahitiau capital,
was welcomed by the boom Of cannon. The
friga,e Refine Blanche, at whose fore flew
the flag Of Admiral Du Pet, Thouars, thus
celebrated the compulsory treaty, concluded
that morning, by which the island was
coded to the French.
