Milano, who attempted to kill the king of
Naples, suffered such horrid punishment in this
world that he deserves at least as pleasant a
hereafter as his royal termenter He was
stripped, bound hand and foot, and hung to a
beam with his head downwards; he was tor
mented In this position for two hours, BURNING
wisps of straw being held under his head He
was also bound and hung up by the ears, cans
ing him the most agonizing pains in the head
and ears; and the ground beneath him was
covered with burning Goals, so that with HE
bare feet he could not stand. He was alec tar
tured with alternate applications of cold and
boiling water, and his shoulder homes nar
pulled out of joint with ropes tied to his arms
Lastly, he was scourged; and those who sas
his naked body declare that the skin was HAL,
ened' with green and yellow spotsupop i, too
hideous to behold. ~ 'oo

consIn papers are SO enthusiastic in favor of
the PROJECT as to propose to cede all the north
ern part of the State from the forty fifth para-
lei up They say, very truly, that, if this ter
rItory were to be erected into State, it would
result IN building up great commercial emDo

capitals Of Michigan and Wisconsin are entire
