STRANGE SCENE AT AN ExEcurroN-A letter from
Ystad, in Sweden, contains account oil a strange
and revolving at execution, which took place
there on the 18th of January:
That day having been fixed for the decaptston of a
journeyman butcher, named Marcusson and a woman
named Betlla Nsdotter for having murdered the hus
band OF tho latter vast number of the peasan-
try arrived on the previous evening and bvouacked in
the town all night. Although for sixty years no execu
,on had taken place in the province aud for upwards
of eight years none in all Sweden was not SO much
curiosity, which attracted the multitude as the desire
to swallow drop of the blood of the criminals at the
moment it should squirt from beneath the axe of the
execuloner. II being popular belief in Sweden that
it renders the weak strong, all sorts of malades
and secures long life. When the scaffod was erected
the people assembled round with cups glasses, bowls.
some even with large saucepans catch the blood
The woman was first beheaded and then the man.
The anxiety OF The spectators very great and the
moment the mans head was severed they broke
through the line OF soldiers. The soldiers, to drive
them back Justify employed the butt ends of their mus
kets, and desperate conflict ensued At last the
crowd succeeded 10 reaching the scafold; but in the
meantime, the police had placed the bodies in cart,
and had sent them off under strong escort ofcavalry
They had, however, to take the preeauton of reno
wing, by spades and pic axes, the portions OF the road
on which drops OF blood happened to fall TO prevent
the people from tapping up The blood.

County, has become marvellously gifted with the
powers OF Speech and has, according to common
report lately made several confidential commu-
nlcatlons, in very fair English, to some of her par
ticular friends. One of these is to the effect
thatthe world will come to an end on the 10Th day
OF June next. Probably she is herself destined to

Pompeii.-A recent letter from an American
gentleman in Naples says.
"Vesuvius is now calmly smokings and
seems disposed to repose himself from the ia
tigues of his devastating labors of last year
Pompeii is slowly appearing above ground:
About twenty laborers are kept at work. who
manage to get off CARLOAD of earth q day
from the subincumbent city. Not one half of
the entire city is yet excavated. The earthly
mound which covers it is an exceedingly beau
tiful and rich vineyard, with houses of peasants
scattered over its surface. A bastion OF the
seawall has recently been unearthed, which
goes to confirm the opinion that the sea, now
nearly a mile distant once laved the walls Of
Pompeii.

their native harshness, who could live on to old

sorrow gives it double sting. -
