hour for breakfast came, Jack " ho

it was fairly over, took the oppor-

the snake out. When the officer
whose duty it was to visit the cells
for the day was going his rounds,
he perceived crowd around the
cell door examining the reptile,
which was described by thehatives
as of the most yenomous character,
its bite beingIinvariably and rapidly
mortal. The officer on being told
that it had been killed by a man in
the adjoining cell, went and in
quired into the matter.

The GARRoTE--is an iron collar,
used in Spain and Cuba, for stran-
Cling those condemned to death
This collar is put upon the neck of
the condemned, and tighten ned by a
screw, until it breaks the neck, For
tyrants, it is more convenient mode
of dispatching their victims than the
gallows or the gmUotine, as these
cannot be employed witho ut giving
the execution some amount Of pub

forms its most terrible and repulsive

The VINEGAR BIBLE. In the
extensive libra1y Of Geo. Livermore,
Esq, of Cambridge, We have seen a
very large Bible, which is known by
the singular name of @TAe Vinegar
Bibze." 1t was printed by John
Basset, printer of King James, in
1717. 1t is printed on very large
thick paper This volume is called
the Vinegar Bible on account Of a
slight mistake in the printing, In
the title over the Goth chapter Of
Luke, instead Of "The parable of the
Fineyard," it is printed "The parable
of the VinegW.P The word in the
chapter, is printed correctly. This
small mistake in the title gave name
to that edition Of the Scriptures, and
prevented its cir culation to any great
extent. The few copies of it in the
world are now known by the name of
"The Vinegar Bible"
