quails' eggs. In short time they reach
ed the 81 ze of walnuts, and continued to
increase in size and quantity until they
we're the size of goose egg! The larg-
est hailstones were not round, but partial

STAYED in, window glass broken, chickens.

A Hard Hit.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North american relates the
following:
"In connection with the Nebraska bill,
a capital story is told of Col. Benton. Al
a dinner party, few evenings since, a,
which the Colonel was present, gentle
man remarked to him that be had not ex-
pressed his opinion about Mr.. Douglass

IIe reminds me of an old farmer who had
an unruly bull. The bull had a habit of
jumping very high, and of running at
people, besides other disagreeable and
troublesome tricks. So one day the far

gro man inquired what he was going to
do. Going to kill the bull replied he,
going TO kill the bull, Sambo. Whereup-

An Essay OH "Getting up.D

We seldom think or speculate upor
things that transpire Immediately around
us-yet come to reflect, they are full of
incident. For example, it is curious e.
nough to see the circulation of a great ci.
ty commence in the morning-the great
city that reared itself to Sleep. True,
there was a feeble noise al night; the
cars beat to and fro; carriage now and
then gave futter, but after all, there
had been quiet hour. About a hun
dred and fifty thousand of the people had
been lying .on dead level for four or
five hours-some on pillows of down, and
some on curb-stones; beneath silk
en- counterpanes, and some beneath the
great blue quilt Of heaven. Queer figure
they make in the minds eye, to be sure
$4,000 folks, more or less, lying Oh
their backs-lying in tiers or rows, five
or six miles long-lying three or four feet
deep. La the cellar-that primitive for
mation;' then first floor, second, third,
and so up to the garret. A hundred thou
sand people snoring, what concert
Fifty thousand people dreaming! Fifty
thousand people in red night caps! Fif-
ty thousand in white, with here and there
one tuned with lace. Thirty thousand
curls twisted up in papers, giving their
owners an appearance of having made a
pillow of cigar lighters. Ten thousand
curls hanging over the backs of chairs or
tossed upon tables-How gently Time
touches such people; they never grow
gray at all. Ten 1000 people weeping, and
now and then, one dying; dying in his
sleep; dying in dream! And then the
getting up is ridiculous enough, though
going to bed-SlolGld we say "retire" in
these refined times!-it is a sole mn piece
of business, whether people think of it or
not. But the getting, the waking up, is
funny enough for farce. It's a process
"a species of gradualism. There's one
who has slept like top for nine solid
hours, and now he begins to wake; first,
it's half lurch and long breath aud
yawn; then an arm is thrust out, then a
foot; the muscels are waking up. Next,
the rattle of early-going wagons strikes
his ear; hearing is Coming too Then,
his tongue moves uneasily; taste is return
ing. Lastly, his eyes open, and one after
the other-then half close, then open a.
gain, aud then the mans awake-awake
all over-awake for all day. There's an
other, sound asleep this minute, and ulis,
be shakes himself like huge Newfound-
and, springs up 'percussion,' and the
hing is done; the fellow hasn't sleepy
hair about him. Snowy quilts that have
ust risen and fallen with the soft bosom
begin to grow uneasy. The
sweet sleepers are waking, SO we'll draw
he curtains, and leave them to their toi-
cite. Bundles ofrags in dark, damp cor
lcrs, toss and tumble; there is something
live underneath. Out it comes more
ags. Misery makes no toilette, and there
ire no curtains to draw.

A Slave Burnt to Death

A mob was collected together and
Lynch Court was held in Mississippi, re-
Gently, to determine what was best to be
done with negro who had the impudence
to raise his hand against white man.
The Lynch Court decided that he should
be burned at the stake. A Natchez pa
per, the Free Trader, giving an account
of it, says =
The negro was taken and chained to a
tree, Immediately on the banks of the
Mississippi, on what's called Union-P Point.
Faggots were then collected and piled a.
round him, to which he appeared quite
Indifferent. When the work was COM
pleted, he was asked what he had to say.
He then warned all to take example by
him, and asked the prayers of all around.
He then called for drink of water, which
was handed him; be drank it, and said:
"Now set fire, | am ready to go in peace" !"
The torches were lighted and placed in
the pile, which was soon iguited. He
watched, unmoved, the curling flame, that
grew until it began to entwine itself a.
round and fix upon his body, and then he
sent forth cries of agony, painful to the
ear, begging some one to blow his brains
out, at the same time struggling with al
ostsuperhuman strength, until the staple,
with which the chain was fastened to the
tree, (not being securely drew out, and
he leaped from the burning pile. AT that
moment the ringing of several rifles were
heard, and the body of the negro fell a
corpse on the ground. He was picked up
by some two or three, and again thrown
into the fire, and consumed-not vestige
remaining to show that such being ever
existed. Nearly four thousand slaves
collected from the plantations in the neigh
borhood to witness this scene. Numerous
speeches were made by the magistrates
and ministers of religion, to the large
concourse of slaves, warning them and
telling them that the same fate awaited
them if they should prove rebelliOus to
their owners.

A singular petition is now before Con-
eress. In ls47, Mrs. Elizabeth G. Smith
of Missouri under the assumed name OF
Ben Newman, enlisted as a soldier in the
Mexican war. She discharged her duties
faithfully as a soldier for ten months,
when her sex was discovered and she was
discharged from service. She has since
married, and now applies for her pay and
bounty land, which she certainly ought to
have.
