DEATH OF JAMES HoLLIDAy.-James
Holiday, an eminent member of the
bar at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, fell sud.
denly dead in the court house at that
place on the 10th inst, while engaged
as counsel liz the trial of a cause. He
was on the point of Directing 10 a
question to a witness, (as we learn

stopped, pressed his hand against his
heart, and said TO the judge: "Will

members of the bar INN ediatelv
gathered round him. laved his face
with water, put spirits 10 his lips, and
led HIM to an open window in the
vestibule. For an instant he seemed
to rally, but it was the last flicker Of
the expiring lamp. Il deathly pallor
settled upon his features; his eyes
became fixed and glazed; and, family
gasping out. cit is all dark, don't leave
me-" he sank quietly into the arms Of
death.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. -
There would seem, after all, to be a
deal of amusement in being hung, il
we can believe in the result OF an
experiment recently tried in France.
The "Chatillonnais,' a paper pubIish-
ed, we believe, at Dion, has the fol.
lowing account
"a short time since, three young
men Of Mouliot, Department of the
Cote dor, were chatting together;
one of them remarked that he had
heard that hanging produced the
mos. agreeable sensations, and that
he should like to try it. A rope was
accordingly put round his neck, and
ne was hauled up to a beam in barr,
and left hanging for few moments.
When let down. he fell heavily TO the
floor, as if dead. The two young
men, although dreadfuIly alarmed,
employed friction, and at last restored
him to life. Instead of being res
preached, as they had expected, they
were surprised TO hear the man com.
plain that they had aroused him from
a slumber in which he had the most
delicious dreams. He wished to re.
commence the operation, but they
prudenlIy declined being party 10 it
a second time"

terrible affair took place yesterday
about l2 M. in our city of Covington.
Benz. Wilsher, a blacksmith on Madi.
son street, an Old and hitherto re-
spectacle resident, went home before
the dinner hour. A dispute arose
between him and his wife, in which
Wilsher became very angry, and
snatching up a flat iron beat his wife
over the head with it. Her cries and
shrieks brought in the ncighbors, who
found Mrs. w. lying on the floor
weltcring in blood. her head horribly
cut and mangled-shc was barely
breathing and is no doubt dead ere
this. WiIsher was arrested, and after
a hearing before Esq. Colvin and
Perrin. was committed for a further
examination before the Kenton county
Circuit Court. Wilsher has a small
family Of children. The party was
addicted to drink. This is another
awful warning to the intemperate.-

THE DAILY TIMES.

The following touching stanzas are from the pen o

ere written soon after the death of beloved wife.
Ii had thoaght thou cou d'st have died,
I'm CHI not weep ior thee
But forgot, when bv thy side
That thou couldst mortal be
IL never through my mi I'd had past,
The time would eer be DER
That on thee should look my last
And thou shoudst smile no more!
And still upon that lace look,
And think twill smile again
And still the thoughl | cannot brook
That | must look IN vain:
But when speak, thou dost not say
= What Ihou ne'er left'st unsaid
And tae,2 ] iee, as well may,
Dear MaIyr!, thou art dead!
Ii thou could'st stay, cen as thou AFT
All cold and all serene,
still might press thy silent heart
And where thy smiles have been: l~r3
While cen thy chill, bleak corse lave.
Thou seemest still mine own;
But as lay thee 10 the grave,
feel l am alone
do not think. where'er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
And |, perhaps, may soothe this heart
In th king, too OF thee:
Y ct there was round thee such dawn
Oi light meier seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn,
And never can restore!
