The following account of a leper, from
the pen of Mr.. Counter, late traveller in
the East, will afford our readers a pretty
correct notion Of the appearance of the SUI
ferers by that strange disease:
"One evening, while strulling alorg the
sea shore, ! saw such an extraordinary OBJ
ject before me, that | could not take my
eyes off of It. 1t was man, whose cloth
ing. like hat Of all the lower orders Of In
dia, was piece of cloth wrapped around
the body, from the waist downward. His
skin was perfectly white. and seemed glaz-
ed, as if scared with no, iron. His head
was uncovered, and bis hair. which was
precisely the same color as the skin. hung
down in long strips upon his lean and
withered shoulders. His eyes, with the
exception OF the balls, were duh, murky
red, and he kept them 6zea on the ground,
as il It were painful for him 10 look up,
which found to be the case. He walked
slowly and feebly, and he was so trightful-
ly thin that he seemed TO stand before me a
living skeleton. / moved toward him, but
he walked farther from me, beseechine me
to give the smallest .rihe to miserable old
man-an outcast from hts home and friends.
He told me not to come near to a polluted
creature. for whom no one Felt pity. He
told me he had, during many YEARS, suffer
ed dreadfully from the leprosy, and though
he was now cured, the corpse like white
ness Of his skin gave unmistakable evidences
that lie had once been leper.''

All Unnatural NangMian.,

The following remarkable case occurred
during The reign Of Oliver Cromwell A,
the Derby Assizes, a family, consisting Of
a father and two sons were tried, convic-
ted, and sentenced to be hanged for horse
stealing, when the bench entertained the
cruel whim, as there was difficulty in
finding hangman, to extend mercy OH one
of the criminals, on the barbarous condition
that he should hang the other two. The
offer was first. made to the father, when he
inquired, in bitter anguish, "Was it ever
known that father hanged his childrenl
How can take away these lives which |
have given?" He bowed, gave up the Of
fer and his life. 1t was then made to the
eldest son, who declined to act upon it,
The proposal was then made to the young
est son, John, who accepted it with an a.
vidity that seemed to tell the court that he
would hang half the creation on such
terms; he performed the fatal work with;
out rcmorse on his father and brother; and
he acquitted himself with so much dexteri-
ty that he was appointed to the office Of
public exccutioner, or Jack ketch, OF
Derby and several ofth. neighboring coun.
ties, and continued in 1t to an extreme age.
So void wa. he OF feeling at distress, that
he rciolced at murder for the sake Of his
perquis;tes--a guinea and the bodies ofthe
executed. "He died. says Brady. III his
"varielics OF Literature, about the year
1905. loving none, and beloved by nome
He spent life of cnmity with man; the
very children peltedlim; and the mothers
endcavored to stop the infant cry with the

Angels Trial.

At the hour, when we are compelled
to go to press, the trial of Angel has not
been concluded. The argument closed
yesterday evening, and we are informed
that the counsel employed, acquitted them
selves with signal ability. The trial has
excited much interest in the community. as
wellirom the circumstances which gave rise
toit, as from the ability Of the legal gentle
men engaged in its conduct. We looked
in during its progress. and found the Ju-
dicial Bench graced by the attendance of
some Of the iairest and most elegant ladies
of Lynchburg. 1t occurred to us, that
the first Angel who sinned, might have had
his trial, in such presence.
