PuNnHMENT OF MADAME MADrRsPA-

PUNisHMENT OF MADAME MAprRsPA-
cA.-Among the other victims oi the
Austrian Government, there still lives
in Pesth the lady who was sconrged by
Austrian soldiers - Madame Maders-
pach. / have met several who have
seen her, and the account they give oi
the affair is as follows: She is II lady oi
fortune and rank, residing IN Sicbenbur-
gen, in the Southeastern par, OF Hun
gary. Her husband WAS an officer IN
the Hungarian army, and shc herself
naturally sympaihised with his party,
and, It is said, frequently entertained
Benz and the ofic, RS under him III
very hospnable manner. This had eX-
asperated the Ausirians, aud when, at
length, they occupied that part OF lluh-
gary, they were quite ready Tor any se-
verilies against her Unfortunately for
her, her tenantry made some c,lcbra-
ton at the time, and burned (shc stated,
without her knowledge,) the Emperor
Francis in efigy! She was at once
seized, and at the command OF the
Austrian officer, made ito run the gaunt-
letrn or the "Gassenlaui," as they cali
il. l gained some acquaintance with
this Austrian punishment while in the
Gros Warden prison, as il was applied
to all the thieves and deserters of the
regiment every Saturday atternoon.-
The custom is usually to call out three
hundred men, who form two rows. one
hundred and fifty on side. Each man
is to be provided with a tough timber
stick. The criminal hardy strong
man, commonly is stripped to the waist,
and made to walk lelsurely through at
the beat of the drum. Ii any one in
the line neglects to lay on as hard as
he can, he gets "fve-and-twenty" him
self. 1t is generally calculated that
strong man sent through The line four
times, if he has strength enough to get
to the end, will die within lew hours.
This was Madame Maderspach's pun
ishment, though, with generous consid-
Grafton ior her sex, the 'run" was
probably limited to once through =
The effect upon the proud, high-born
lady, was to drive her into insanity
The news Of such public, brutal in
dignity on his vie, so affected the hus-
band, that he shot himself through the
brain. And, to entirely hush up the
matter, the only survivor, a young son,
was drafted into the Austrian army in
! ally as common soldier, where he is
still. The whole deed seems TO have
come. ifnot directly from Haynau, at
least from his general orders. The
poor lady is still in Pesth, in half
crazed condition. 1t is said, after Hay
nau's tremendous AageIlalion by the
London brewers. some one sent her Il
paper containing an account Of it, and
that she kept il for days in her bosom,
wet with her tears Somehow, or 9TH
er, she obtained, too, piece OF one OF
the brooms with which he was beaten,
and, maniac-like, she has made brace
let OF it, which she >now wears Hun.

known OF this excellent, healthy food,

after his arrival at Cleveland, he was
walking up street. when glancing his

recollccied by the citizens OF Cleveland,
he saw The proprietor Mr.. II ,nks. The
General wheeled aud marched in.
Good morning Mr.. Hanks, said he,

General Scott believe replied
Hanks, but how cou'd you recollect

From having once seen you under
no ordinary circumstances. The last
time saw you, WAS in the hottest part
of the battle of Lundy's Lane. Of three
drums, two had been destroyed by the
fire Of the enemy. But one drum was
LETT, and for tha, the three drummer boys
were fighting, when acannon ball killed
two of them. The third one was your
scli.'
True, true, every word Of it, replied
the man with emotion.
