EXECUTION OF JoHNsoN.-1hs New
York papers contain elaborate descriptions
of the execution Of johnson, at Paterson,
N. } on the 30th ul.., convicted Of the
murder of Judge Van Winkle and his wife
in January last. The culprit maintained
to the Inst that he was innocent Of the deed
for which he was TO be executed.
The correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, after detailing the preliminaries,
gives the terrible finale as follows: IN,
"The prisoner made short speech, the
substance Of which he condensed into the
first sentence: 'ApriI 30, 1850, will be 4
day memorable for the execution of an in
Hocent man." 80

A bee was let off at 5000 feet, which flew
away, making a bumming noise. At the
altitude of II 900 feet large linnet was
liberated, which flew away directly, but
soon feeling itself abandoned in the midst
of nm unknown oceun,it returned and set
tied ON the stays of the balloon, then mus
lering fresh courage, it took n second flight
and dashed down 10 the earth, describing a
torluous yet perpendicular, track. A
pigeon let off under similar circumstances
afforded more curious spectacle Placed

UMBRELLAS 1t is not hundred years
since very eccentric Englishman, named
Jonas Hanway, having returned from his
,ruvels in the East, appeared in The streets
Of London, on rainy day, with a queer
emotion" from China, in the shape Of what
is now called an umbrella. Being the
first ever seen in England, it attracted
such curious and indignant notice, that iss
owner was soon surrounded by Q furious
English mob, and pel,ed with mud and
other missiles, for his audacity in thus At
tempting to screen himself from the rain
which all true born Englishmen, from time
immemorial, had allowed to beat upon
them without resistance, as the visitation
of Providence! The incident made noise;
in spite of ridiculs, the emotion" begun to
take wonderfully with the hitherto be-
drizzled people: and as it was found a.
useful in protecting against the sun -
against the rain, the name of unbrsld-a
little shude-was given it. Poor jonas
invention, so unpopular. at first, and after.
wards so universally adopted, merely
shows what disadvantage it Is to bs born
