quality is then scraped up and put into
boxes; that of the second and third being
molster, is handled third time and car
RED into the drying room, where it is ex-
posed to the heat Of stove, and when suffi-
c,iently dry, is boxed up for the market like
the other . .. -.
The sight of these processes was not Of
nature to make one think with much sat-
lsactlon !! OF clayed sugar as an ingredient of
iood, but the inhabitants of the island are
superior to such prejUdices, and use it with
as little scruple asthey who do not know in
what manner il is made.
In the afternoon we returned to the
dwelling of our American host, and taking
the train at caobas, or Mahogany Trees--so
called from the former growth of that tree
on the spot--we were at Matanzas an hour
afterwards. The next morning the train
brought us to this little town, situated half
way between Matanzas and Havana, but
great way to the south Of either.

A BATHING COMPANION. The Boston Path.
finder tells the following story A gentle
man 'Down East was accustomed TO fill his
bath with water at night, so as to have it
ready for use when he stepped out of bed in
morning. On one occasion, as he was about
10 step into his bath, to take his usual morn
ing shower, he saw Miss Puss sitting up as
prim as newly dipped candle, directly in
the bottom OF the bath, and our hero. think
ing he would have a little fun, stepped quiet
ly in and closed the door. 1t is well known
that cats have an utter abhorrence of being
wet, and in this instance, when her ladyship
found retreat cut of, and the water coming
in upon her in torrents, she soon became
desperate, and making a virtue Of necessity,
used the gentleman's legs, arms, back and
neck, as clawholds to assist her in making
her exit through the top opening of the bath.
1t is said that the water emplied from the
bath tina, morning was considerably iinged
with scarlet.

MAIL ROBBERY.

Some desperate villain or villains, managed
TO cut the straps attached to the canvass
which covered the U. S. Mail, in the small
vehicle which conveys it between this place
and Muncy, on Friday evening last, and sue
ceeded in taking the through bag for Nor
thumberland and south of it, from the boot,
unperceived by the driver, and conveying it
to parts unknown. The robbery was first dis
covered by the post master at Muncy, when
about 10 examine the side mail for that place,
when number of citizens returned in search
of it, but no trace, except portions Of the
straps, which were found on Tools Hill, about
six miles from Muncy, could be discovered.
From careful examination of the road, it is
evident that the robbery was committed
while the vehicle was going up the above
hill as the foot prints of man were observed
for some distance west of this, apparently
following the object coveted. Diligent search
has since been instituted in all directions
from the supposed place of robbery, but
hitherto without success. The night was
exceedingly dark and rainy, and precisely
such an one as witnessed the memorable
catastrophe recorded by Robert Burns
sThe wind did blow, as 'twould blow its last,

The lightnings flashed from pole 10 pole,

A MONKEYS MEMORY.

Authors generally seem to think that the
monkey race are not capable of retaining
lasting Impressions but their memory is re-
markably tenacious when striking events call
it into action. A monkey which was permit
ted TO run free had frequently seen the men
servants in the great country kitchen, with
its huge fire place, take down powder horn
that stood on the chimney piece, and throw
few grains into the fire, to make Jemima
and the rest Of the maids jump and scream,
which they always did on such occasions
very pret,ily. Pug watched his opportunity,
and when all was still, and he had the ktch-
en- entirely 10 himself, he clambered up got
possession OF the well filed powder horn,
perched himself very gingerly OH one side Of
the horizontal wheels placed for the support
OF sauce-pans, right over the waning ashes of
an almost extinct wood fire, screwed off the
top Of the horn, and reversed it over the
crate. The explosion sent him half way up
the chimney. Before he was blown ur he
was snug trim, well-conditioned monkey
as you would wish TO see on summers day;
he came down a carbonated Niger in minia-
ture, in an avalanche of burning SCOT. The
thump with which he pitched upon the hot
ashes in the midst of the general flare up,
aroused him to a sense of his condition. He
was missing for days. Hunger at last drove
him forth, and he sneaked into the house
closed snged begrimmed, and looking scared
and deviish. He recovered with care, but,
like some other great personages, he never
got over his sudden elevation and fall, but
became sadder if not a wiser monkey. If
Pug forgot himself, and was troublesome,
you had only TO take down a powder horn in
his presence, and he was off to his hole like
shot, screaming and clattering his jaws like
pair of castanets.

A SAD STORY.

EFFECT OF THE WILL.--We have the fol.
loving from source perfectly reliable: -.
A few days since there came TO the Fourth
street Hospital, family of six persons, hus-
band and wife, two sons, and two daughters.
The females were all sick-the mother in
the last stages of cholera. The resident
physician told the father and sons, that the
wife and mother were dying and could not be
saved. She was, however, received, and
with the girls cared for as well as the nature
as the circumstances would admit. The girls
were not very sick but the father and sons
determined to stay and nurse them and the
mother. They were told that they could do
them no good--were already weary with
with watching, and TO preserve their health,
had better 90 away and get at least one
nights rest. They were persuaded; on the
following morning early, they called and were
informed that the mother had died--but the
girls were getting better. They were shown
into the room where the corpse was lying
The father Ia middle aged many looked at it
few moments, calmly folded his arms and
said, ~ have lived long enough in this world
II am ready to die" .., .. ...-b
Efforts were made to cheer him, but to no
purpose. He walked back in the yard, paced
through it short time, with his arms folded,
and his eyes fixed on the ground--returned
into the hospital, and said he was sick. The
physician told him he thought not, urged him
not to give way 10 his feelings, and wished
him 10 walk out He replied, 81 am sick,
and must lie down. He threw himself upon
bed, his feet and hands Immediately began
TO cramp, and, without purging or vomiting,
In short time, he was dead. aas
Soon after the father was attacked, the
two boys sank down in the same way, and
it was not long after his death, before they
were both in the spirit land.
The girls are convalescent.
This may, in measure, account for what
some have considered contagion, in cholera
taking one after another in family, until
they are all gone. The progress of the dis
ease is so rapid, many Of the death-bed scenes
so heart-rending, that, upon sympathetic
minds, not accustomed 10 such scenes, they
must have powerfully dangerous influence.

THE LAST OF EARTH" - The Irish have
been grievous sufferers by the prevailing dis
ease, as might be expected from the mode OF
life of vast numbers of them, their poor ac-
commodaiions, improper Diet and exposure.
Three or four miles east of Williamsburg,
there is a Roman Catholic Cemetry where
great numbers of them are inferred
The grounds occupy about three acIes.-
They have been used for inteIments about
two years. Already the whole space is occu-
pied with graves; yet bodies are still inferred
there in great numbers The grave-diggers
told us that for last two months there had
been an average Of more than 100 interments
a day. During an hour and half that we
remained there, 25 bodies were brought in
and inferred. the graves are dug about
eight feet deep, and several cofiins are piled
above each other, with layer of earth be-
tween-the upper coffin being within three
feet of the surface. The fees are very high
Wig; ten dollars for grave guaranteed not to
be disturbed seven for one with the posi-.
bility of disturbance, two for an infant, and
in proportion for older children. The chances
for continuance, even for those in whose be-
half ten dollars have been paid, our inform
ant thinks, are very slight, if what he saw is
to be taken as specimen. grave had to
be made for some person recently dead; and
the ground being too full to allow The sexton's
man to conveniently select uncut earth, he
thrust his spade into grave which had re-
ceived an occupant so recently as last Decem-
ber; while, as a preliminary, ne removed
from the head the memorial that some la
menting relative had, no doubt, erected there
in the foud hope of its being allowed TO re-
main. b., -
This three acres of ground must be exceed
inply productive TO somebody, as the fees for
100 bodies at an average of 81 each would
be $500 day. Our Informant supposes that
bodies are inferred there not only from this
ci,y, but from BroOklin and elsewhere. The
number of grave-dggers on duty was ten,
