been fixed for the execution of journeyman
butcher, named Mnrcusson, aud a woman
named Botilla-NiIsdotter, for having murder

Of persons of all nges and both sexes, md
especially of peasants in their national cos
tunes, arrived last evening, and bivouacked
in the town nll night. Although for upwards
OF sixty years no execution had taken place
in the province, and for upwards of eight
years none in all Sweden, il was not SO much
curiosity which attracted the multitude, as
the desire TO swallow drop Of the blood OF
the criminals at the moment il should spuri
from beneath the axe Of the executioncr; il
being q popular belief in Sweden thnt il
renters the weak strong, cures all sorts of

round with cups, glasses, bowls, some even
with large snucepans, TO catch the blood

Tho Nation in its True Character.

As n piece Of diabolical ingenuity, for
the accomplishment of n devlish purpose,
the Fugitive law stands without rival
among all the tyranical enactments or edicrs
of servile parliamenis or despoiic monarchs.
How deeply dsgracelul is il TO our nation
that law in some such shape is justified by
the terms of the fundamental law, and that
il Is TO its details rather than TO its principle
that men content to acknowledge allegiance
90 the Constitution must limit their con-
demnation. Those details are indeed such
As may well make us blush for the barbar-
ism of the nation of which we have the mis-
fortune TO be members. These are the tests
that try our vain-gorious braggings and show
us as we are-that change our countenance
and send us away ashamed or would do so,
'if the national brow were not of bronze, us
sits heart is Of iron. II is such as these that
strip the delusive veil from the face Of the
Mokanna Republic of Ihe Western Con-
tinent, aud il stands revealed, instead of a
Prophet Of God appointed for the deliver
ance of the oppressed of oil the world, q
Juggling Fiend, a moral Monster, that fat
tens on the blood and misery of the poor and
helpless. il is the professions of the nation
done into EDglish--translnted into the ver-
nacular--made level TO the meanest under
standing. The Model Republic is shown TO
be the Model Dungeon, with thirty wards,
for the torture Of the Innocent The Home
of the Free is the place where their three
million Slaves have no Home. The Land of
the Brave is the land where those faithful TO
It's Institutions are bound to be the most cow
ardly OF miscreanis--to be the tools Of the
most dastardy tyrants. The Refuge of the
Oppressed is the refuge where the mosl
wrstched of all the victims Of Oppression
can have no help, save in defiance and do
splts 0fths Laws Of the Land.--Mass Report

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE,
The Pleasures Of Editorial Lire,


We could wish gentry whose criticism
expressed in the order, "Stop my paper"
no worse punishment than week spent on
the wheel of newspaper. They would
soon find the situation too hot for thenI.--
They would acquire some notion Of severe
drudgery of which they are In blissful igno-
rance. Muliitarious particles of matter,
each of them insufficient in ITSELF yet inn
portant in general combination, to be select
ed unalyzed, compressed TO please dyersi-
" of tastes, without offending any; reports
10 be stripped Of their verbiake aud trans
formed into presentable shape comments
on topics, political, literary, commercial, es-
oteric as well as popular, to be obtained or
prepared; paragraphs to be prepared on
every imaginable subject from monstrous
gooseberry to the revolution of nm empire; /;
correspondence to he licked into shnpe--tor

Of the hardsbips Of" six upon four" on board

beef when you abound in appetite, but It is
nothing near so bad us the newspaper lila

in week, aud whole volumes Of matter TO
be crammed in few slender columns. Then
there is the incidental harass OF the editors

signed "a Constant Reader" is inserted

thrown upon the unfortunate editor aud he
is decOmposed in the very throes of compo-
sition. No wonder tlla, the editor can so
seldom be seen--no wonder that his mind is
sometimes bewidered as to which coniri5u.

or rather displease--tbis hcing the almost
inevitable result, should he show a prefer

The Family that never Read Newspaper.


The second night after leil your city,
put up nt a large brick tavern, known os the
---house. The proprietor, in answer to
some interrogatories, informed me that he
owned over AGO acres of land, had raised
the present season 900 bushels of wheat,
$50 bushels of oats, aud expected to harvest
1900 bushels of corn; and that he owed no
mnn dollar; (nnd that lie never took
newspaper in his liieN
had the curiosity to learn how family
kept up with the current news of the day,
when deprived Of the only means of obtuin-
ing il. Soon after | entered the family cir
Gle, which consisted OF the parents aud six
children, the eldest daughter, on the shade
Of twenty-five - the mother commenced
with:

mother, with deep sigh, and never seed
anybody hanged yet! always thought I'd
like TO see one hanged, but il never happens

Gus aud caravin and sch kind of shows, but
I'd ruther seed one fellow hanged than fifty
Of them shows"
"Stranger," said the daughter, "there's
going TO be an animal show tomorrow down
here bout six miles, maybe you'd like to lay
over and go down. Brother Jcems says
they've got two snakes there, the same as
what can swallow an elephant, and don't
believe there ever wus any sich snakes--do

sembled at Ilnirene for worship, were arrest

Eighteen had already been executed, when
the rest found means to escape, fed to the
palace Of the Prince, aud threw themselves
upon his protection. The Prince accorded
his protection in spite of the commands of
his mother, who fearing revolution, did not
dare TO persist in her peri ecntions. The
Christians were at last accounts in safety
The Prince had been several times at their

the death of his mother, the policy of exclud-

Madagascar would be annuled,

Almost Married.

At Huron, Erie county, on the Sd, there
was curious attempt at marriage.
II appears that relations Of intimate friend
ship had existed between DIR. r. and
Miss b, for some two years, which re-
suited in their presenting themselves at the
Episcopal Church, for the purpose Of mar
ringe. The first portion of the service, en-
bracing the vows Of the bridegroom, were
promptly responded to by him. The cove
nant of the bride was then read by the cler-
gyman, TO which she promptly answered
NO" The minister asked her If she was
in earnest in what she said. "Yes, sir"
said she, "he has perured himsele--trifled
with the affections of others-and have but
done him justice!" And turning round she
took geulleman's arm aud left the church.
The Doctor says he don't understand il,
and declares his innocence.-T Dem.
