following paragraph in one of our exchanges:
The Detroit Advertiser relates an instance
oil an OK being killed and sled broken to
pieces by railroad car, aud all because the
OK could no, understand French. The team
consisting of one English and one French
OK, drawing heavy load of wood, and driven
by French driver. was crossing the track,

himself from injury; but the English OK, hav-

dent of the Cincinnati Gazet,e says:
"a great Improvement is said To have been
accomplished lately in the operation of that
humanely French instrument, the cullotine.
For long time attempts have been ma de to
diminish the horrors OF the gullotine, by rem
dering more speedy the preparing of the crim-
nal after his arrival at the instrument, and
for rendering the fall OF the knife more rapid
and more certain. At the execution OF a
man few mornings ago, at the Place de
Roquette IN this city, the new system was
put into operation with the most happy, and
1t might be added, most frighifuly rapid re-
suits. particular arrangement of the leath-
er straps enables them 10 tie the criminal in
a second, and holds him perfectly motion
less. Sliding boards, fitted into the grooves
between which glldes the instrument of death
accelerate its fail, so that the execution takes
place with the lost trghtiul rapidly. By
THIS new method there is no danger oil tein .
Obliged To strike second time, as some.
times happened with the old method, nor is
there any possible delay IN a moment wi ere
minutes are centuries. Until the PRESENT
moment il has been the habit To transport the
oodles OF executed persons to the cemetery
In kind of reed basket seated on cart.
The view OF this basket passing through a
part OF the capital always excited Il general
ieeiing of rePugnance 10 citizens. A new
style of conveyance has, therefore, been
adopted for this purpose, the character of
which could not be recognized were it not
jor the two mounted gensd'armes who al
ways follow these melancholy interments.'

this portion of the worlds history. Siran-
gers, entire strangers, with nothing TO re-
commend them but their dashing exterior
and brazen impudence, are introduced into
the social and domestic circles, by thought

cess is given the gay Iiberiine and subtle
villain to ply all his deceptive and willy arts
upon the unsuspectiag fair ones with whom
he is brought in contact-and, alas. too
often, his fascinating and seductive airs
lead ON to the ruiz and inlamy of innocent
victims.
An instance in point has just been devel-

lance was formed with lovely young lady
from New York, and their intimacy finally

Thus far matters had gone on very smooth

our citizens as To his character, &C.; when

known that he had lawful wife and chill
