Thomas Mclaughlin, convicted Of
the murder OF his wife, was sentenced
at Cumberland, Md. last week. to be
hung. Just before receiving his sen.
tcnce, he made this speech:

justice done to me. If | had been

my confession to the priest; and, after
| am gone, it will be known that am
innocent. So hcI p me God, am not
in the wrong; but am willing to be
hanged, thanks be to God. would
rather be hanged seven times over
when innocen. than once when in the
wrong.
1t seems that this man would rather
be hung seven times innocent than
once guilty. Seven hangings for one
man would certainly be out Of all
reason, but we rather think the first
if thoroughly performed, would be
worse than all the other six.

HOW TO LIVE.

Said an old man once to US: "Fact
is, people amt more than partly larnt
how 10 live" We thought then that
the old man was right, and we have
since been convinced of the fact. For
to live rightly, implies tina, we do
rightly towards all.
When we see a man, with money
in his pocket, refusing with lying pre-.
fences and sneaking subterfuges. TO
pay small bill, justly due. we think
he has but partly learned how to
live.
When we see family who make
great pretensions to fashion and gen.
tilitv, and are clothed sumpluously in
purple and fine linen, putting off from
day to day the payment Of a poor
dress-maker, who comes feebly and
timidly knocking at the door for her
due, we think, little have they learned
how to live.
When we see man endeavoring
to bolster up Pride at his front door,
while Poverty enters boldly in the
rear; squandering his small income
on fine furniture and company Dor.
rowing Of his neighbors and never
returning without insult or injury, we
are sure he has but partially learned
how to live.
When we see another, laboring like
a slave, to accumulate wealth, not to
extract happiness from, but to hoard,
starving his own soul, pinching his
family, and making all miserable
around him, we think he has not at
all learned how to live.
When we see q man wholly given
up to the pleasures of appetite, revel,
ing in RIGHTEOUSNESS and debaucheries,
while the higher pleasures of the in'
tcllect are wholly neglected, we think
how poorly has he learned 10 live.

ASTOUNDING FREAK OF NATURE
On Friday last, an old lady, aged 81
years, died at Lawrenceville oil a
disease of the bowels. A few days
prior to her death, it was discovered
that a tumor existed in her abdomen,
and on being asked whether she was
willing to have her body opened after
death, for the purpose Of ascertaining
the nature Of that tumor, she assent.
ed.
Accordingly, Immediately after her
death. post morten examination was
held, and bony substance of an oval
shape was removed. Upon saving
through this it was discovered that the
ossified covering was but thin, and
that within it was contained a fully
developed female child! So perfectly
formed was the child in all its parts,
that no difficulty, whatever, was found
in deciding upon its sex at once, and
from facts afterwards learned, the
woman must have carried that infant
for forty years!
The circumstances which sustain
this supposition are these Her neice,
with whom she lived up to the time
of her death. distinctly recollects that
at one time, her aunt supposed herself
to be encicntc, and went so far as to
make all the preliminary preparations
for the expected little stranger; but to
the astonishment of all, the infant was
never born. About this time her
husband died, and from that period
until her death, her general health
was good, and she experienced no
inconvenience from the presence Of
the supposed tumor.
The above statement is one OF
simple facts. Tho most astonishing
part of the whole story is, that a
highly respected physician, assures Us
that the child bore signs oil, at least. a
probable recent iUing existence! We
shall not comment on this matter. as
we understand, a full statement OF the
circumstances will socn be published.

VILLANY FRUsTRATED.- Messrs.
Samuel We,hered, of Baltimore, New
ton Williams, of Boonville. and Bre.
wort, Of Kansas, lately reached st.
Louis from Santa Fe. On their way
it seems plan was laid to rob them
Of their means, which was happily
prevented in good time. A young
man by the name of Fox, in connection
with some others, had so arranged it
that they were to travel in Mr..
Wethered's company, and whilst out
on the prairics were at some un.
guarded moment 10 give the alarm OF
Indians, murder Messrs. Wethered,
Williams. Brevort and his servant,
and take possession Of their money.
Kit Carson, living at the Ryado,
learned that Fox had been in that
village, and attempted to persuade
another person there to 60 along and
assist in the murderous plot-said he
was going to Taos, and when out a
little from the village turned off to
Join Brevort and party. Carson,
aware of this, obtained an escort Of
twelve dragons, and, accompanied
BY Capt. Ewall and servant, Johnson,
and one hundred and twenty.eight
soldiers. they travelled one hundred
and fifty miles in twenty.eight hours.
to apprize the party of their danger,
and take Fox a prisoner back to
Santa Fe. This they did, much to
the relief Of Wethered and party. 1t
is supposed the plot was conceded in
Santa Fe, from the fact that Messrs.
Wethercd and Bicvolt were to bring
to the States a good deal Of money.
