CUT THIS OUT.-A correspondent of the
London Literary Gazette, alluding to the
numerous cases of deaths from accidental
poisoning, adds: Il venture to affirm there
is scarce even a cottage in this country that
does not contain an invaluable, certain, i'm
mediate remedy for such events; nothing
more than dessert spoonful of made mus
tard, mixed in tumbler of warm water, and
drank Immediately. 1t acts as an emetic,
is always ready. and may be used with
safety in any case where one is required.
By making this simple antidote known, you
may be the means Of saving many fellow
creature from an untimely end"

CoNvICTED.-Col.M Meekins Reynolds,
a wealthy farmer, was tried, at Patrick
county, (Virginia,) circuit court, last term,
for the murder of Green D. Satterfeld, and
found guilty of murder in the second de-
gree. He was sentenced to the State Pen
itentiary for ten years. The trial excited
much interest, and caused the examination
of more than sixty witnesses. There are
two sons of the prisoner yet to be tried for
the same offence. Col. Reynolds has been
placed in the Penitentiary at Richmond.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday after
noon, as some workmen, in the employ of
Mr.. w. C. Carlton, 10 Beach-street, were
in the act of filling a vessel from carboy
of nitric acid, or az quafortis, the vessel was
accidentally broken, spilling the contents
on the floor. Instead Of leaving the room
the workmen remained and attempted to
absorb the fluid by throwing sawdust upon
it. They soon became so affected by in
haling the noxious effluvia, that they were
obliged to leave the room. They subse-
quently repaired to their homes, without
making any special complaint, and nothing
was heard of the matter at Cartoons shop
until yesterday morning, when it was re-
ported that two of the men were dead, and
others had become seriously Affected

EXECUTION OF AMARAUDER

All eyes were fixed on the Khan, who,
in voice of thunder, cried, "Take him
from his horse and tie him to its tall
Then let him be dragged along till the
breath is out of his body. A crier will
accompany him-will explain to the ar
my the cause of his punishment"
As soon as the Khan had done speak
ing, the Tartar, without uttering sound,
got off his horse, and calmly gave him
self up to the soldiers who were to bind
him. But it so happened that there was
neither cord nor strap for that purpose
krim Girni, whose anger showed itself
in the swelling of the veins of the fore
head, ordered, to save tine, that a bow
string should be used. He was told that
a bowstring would be too short.
" Wei, then" cried he, stamping with
rage, " let the wretch put his head into
the bow, and let him be dragged off,"
The Tartar silently submitted to this
order. A trooper mounted his horse, and
the wretched man allowed himself to be
dragged along the road without making
any resistance. But as he was unable
20 keep up with the trot of the horse, he
fell to the ground, and thus freed his neck
from the yoke which had confined him.
The Khan perceived this new difficulty
foaming with rage. He paused moment
and bit his lip, then with fearful laugh
exclaimed,
Let the criminal again put his heac
through the bow, and hold on with bott
hands until he dies"
The Tartar now understood that h.
was to be his own executioner. and pav.
a most astonishing proof of perfect sub
mission to his sovereign's commands
Crossing his hands firmly on his breas,
he held the bow in which he had place,
his head, and was again fastened to III,
horses tail. The horseman started q
full gallOp, and intelligence was 500
brought that the Tartar, who had not evel
in the moment of death changed his DO:
turs, had been dashed to pieces against
rock.

A SCENE OF HORROR.

One Of the items Of news by the Can,
ada is, an awful earthquake in the Molu-
Gus, involving loss of nearly three thou
sand lives. A spectator writes to an En-
glish paPer;-
The glowing
lava streamed downwards with irresisti-
bic force in different directions, bearing
with it whatever it encountered on its de-
struetiye course, and causing the sea to
boil wherever they came in contact
The hot springs opened up and cast out
a food of boiling water, which DESTROYED
and carried away what the fire had spared
The sea, obedient to an unusual imnulse
lashed the rocks with frightful violence
dashed upon the shore and heaved itsel
with wild haste against the land. as !
It strove to overnaster the fire stream.
This frightful picture of destruction
the horror of which was increased h,
tile shrieks of man and beast, the vii,
roaring of the tempest, and the crashinl
OF thousands of trees torn up and carrie,
away, was followed, about an hour late
by peais of thunder which shook tn,
ground and deafened the ear. A bIacI
column of stone and ashes then shot Il,
from the mountain to an immense beigb
and fell illumined by the clare 9th,

A l Probate Court holden at Irasburgh, within

A. D. 1855, William L. Locke, Executor of the
last will and testament of John Locke, late of

Germ Objects close III halu, anu
completed their confusion and despair
LARGE stones were hurled through them
all, crushing whatever they fell upon
Houses and crops which had not been
destroyed by fire, sunk and disappeared
beneath the ashes and stones, and Tue
hill streams, stopped by these BARRIERS
formed lakes. which breaking over the
banks, soon proved source OF des'rue-
/ ton.
4 This lasted some hours. About mid
night the raging elements sank to rest;
but on the following day about noon, they
again resumed their work Of destruction
with renewed violence. In the mean
time the fall of ashes continued without
intermission, and was so thick on this
day that the rays of the sun could not
penetrate through it, and an appalling
darkness prevailed.
Scarcely recovered in some degree
from their fright, the inhabitants OF this
desolated part of Sangir were again dis
turbed by an eruption on the 18th March,
which destroyed many fields AMI great
number of trees on the Tabukan side.
Since then the volcano has remained
quiet, the only symptom Of its working
has been the smoke rising up in all di-
rections from cracks and assures in the
ground.
1 On the other side of Kandhar, on the
extreme north part of the island, the ap-
pearance of the devastation which has
been caused, is, if possible, even more
frightful than what has taken place at
Tarund. For here, where formerly
there were seen extensive fields bearing
all kinds of crops, and thickly planted
and endless groves of cocoa nuts, We now
find nothing but stones, lava, and ashes
The liquid FIRE seems at this point to have
, flowed from the mountain with irresisti.
bic force and in prodigiouS quantity
Not only has this fearful food, as it were
buried the whole district and all that wa.
upon it, but after having caused this de
structioH over an extent of several miles
it was still powerful enough, on reachin!
the shore, to form two long tanjong
(capes) at places where the depth of wa
\ terfOrmerly consisted Of many fathoms.
The loss of life has been very grea
, 1t is estimated as follows in the undel
. mentioned districts: Taruna, men, We
:, men, and children, 1922; Kandhar, mel
women, and children, 45; Tabukau, mel
women, children, 2,039; total, 1906.
The greater number met their deaf
in the gardens. They fled in all dire,
tions, but were oyertaken and swallowe
up by the fatal fire stream. Some trie
to save themselves in the trees, but wei
either carried away with them, or kille
- by the scorching heat. At Kalangs
and Tariang the houses were filled wi
people who were stopped in their fig
by the lava streaming down on all side
: :, and the streams of boiling water, al
= who met their death under the burniI
ashes and the tumbling houses. MAJ
who had reached the shore and thong
, themselves safe, became a prey to Il
:: furious waves, and many died throu!
despair and agony.
