Sir men to be Auay IN oae County,
From the Yazoo Democrat we learn that
the Circuit Court Of that county recently
adjourned. after protraeted session d
four weeks. The criminal docket occu-
pied nearly half Of the term, there being
large amount Of buriness on hand, the
most Of which was Of the wors: crime.
Six men, three white and three black,
were found guilty ofmurder, and sentenced
to be hung on the 18th Of this month,
and one sentenced to the Penitentiary for
Eve years. The names the condemned
criminals are John Cotton for the murder
Of Smith Jack Lynch, for the murder Of
Wright; Young c. Bovard for the murder
of his wife. The three negroes, for the
murder Of their master, Theophilus
Pritchard.
One Of the murders above alluded to
was very terrible, Is will be seen from the
following: E 49,
The annals Of most Internal crimes
will hardly furnish a parallel to q recent
murder in Yazoo county, the details Of
which we find recorded in the Democrat.
g In point Of monstrous enormity it has
few parallels in the history of sin. The
act was committed on Thursday night
the 25th inst. Young C. Bovard residing
near Benton, in that county, on the evening
OF the night alluded to, for some cause Of
other. probably without any cause 1t all,
forcibly turned his wife out of his house
with the view Of keeping her out all night
in the cold. During the night, when she
supposed her inhuman husband was
asleep, she crept into the house and laid
herself down on sheep.skin before the
fire. Bovard was awake, however, and
saw her enter and after she laid quietly
down he arose, and taking in his hand .
maui, deliberately beat her brains out.
Bovard was apprehended next day and
lodged in jail It that place. 1t is soppos-
ed by some that be was laboring under
some sort Of mental alteration ut the
time, and the atrocity Of the act seems to
justify the superstition in some degree.

Surprise has been expressed tha t
vessels which 60 direct to Sebastopol
take \ smaller cargo than if they were
only to go to Constantinople, or that they
diminished their cargo in the latter port
before entering the Black Sea. The
reason is this: The density Of the water
Of different seas is moro or less consider.
able, and the vessels which sail in them
sink IN the water moro or less, according
to that density. The density arises from
the quantity Of salt contained in the water
and consequently the salter the sea is, the
less . vesselcarries, the deeper she pene.
trates the water, it follows that the more
the water is salt the greater is the quantity
Of sail that can be carried. Now, the
Black Sea being sixteen times less salt
than the Mediterranean, vessel which
leaves Touloooe Marseillss fos Sebastopol
must take . smaller cargo than that which
only goes to Cosssansinople, and still
smaller one e Il 10 to enter the Sea Of
Azof, which !. ssehfeen times less salt
than the Mediterranean. Il 10 known
that the Mediterranean il twice Is sab q
the Atlantic, once more than the Adriatic,
FIVE times moro than the Caspian Sea,
twelve times more than the Ionian Sea,
and seventeen times moro than the Sea 81
Marmora. The Dead Sea contains moro
salt thaa any other sea; il il asserted
that two tons Of it, water yield 56s
pounds Of sak and magnesia.

Hobbs Again.

A London paper says American skill has once
more triumphed in England, and in this manner:
The directors of we'll known Insurance office
assembled to hold an important annual meeting.
When the books and papers ofthe company were
called for, the Secretary could not find the key
of the large Walt where they were. After an un
successful search, Mr.. Chubb, the maker of the
large iron door and lock, was sent for, ard when
asked if he had key that would fit the lock-
He said no. He was then asked ifhe could pick
the lock- He again replied in the negative and
rather indignantly, withal at the insinuation tina
his celebrated lock could be picked. The direc'
tors asked what was to be done. Mr.. Chubb and
swered that the only means by which the papers
and books could be obtained was to cut the door
down. The directors would not consent, and
Mr.. Chubb left the premises. Amessenger was
dispatched to Cheapside for Hobbs, the American
lock.picker, who sent one of his workmen, with
instructions to take an impression in wax of the
lock. The man departed and presently returned
with an impression. Mr.. Hobbs then selected a
few simple instruments and file, and accompan
led his workman to the Insurance office. After
operating upon Chubb's lock ten minutes only
the bolt was turned, the doors opened, and al
the books and papers were placed before the
Board of Directors, to their utter establishment.

THE EMPRESS EUGEN1E.-The accouchment of
the Empress is near at hand, and in consequence
the first representation of new ballot (the Cor
sair) of which she furnished the idea. and which
she wished to see performed has had to be hur-
ried up, for she is about to coninc herself to
her apartments. The propriety of her lying-in
at St. Cloud was for some time under discussion
and the obstctrician insisted on the measure, as
terrible epidemic, the scaret fever, is now
abroad, and is peculiarly sever upon woman with
child or about lying.in; but the Emperor great
stickler for ceremonial, and withal a fatalist,
even in the most insignificant affairs of every
day life, would not consent to the Empress ly-
ng-in any where bnt at the Tuillefes, and in pub
lie, if necessary, before the soldiers on duty at
the Palace, according to the old custom that
obtained under the monarchy.
