House Of Representatives of Massachu7

against IL. The Senate will doubtless
concur unanimously. It was objected
that the election should not be made
till after the Governors address had
been read; but the members were anx-

ifest their sense of the services that their
Senator had rendered and of the suffer.

United States law for the Electors of
President and Vice Presiden. TO meet
at the Capitols Of the various States and
cast their electoral votes. A snow storm
on the day previous having shut off all
communication with Madison, the Eec-

and consequently the vote of Wisconsin
wasno cast for President The Madi-
sen Argus Of the evening of the 4th,
remarks upon the circumstances as fol-
lows:-I 1t is universally conceded that the
failure is fatal to our vote and that it
can now no more be cast than could any
primary election be held on q different
day, if the people had failed to vote on
the 4th Of November. The term of the
Electors ceased with the day on which
they we're to cast the vote and which
they can now no more legally discharge
their official functions than could any
other citizens of the State.

{. FLoGoING WITCH TO DEATH
We find the following very very singular
story 10 the Brownsville (Texas) Flag
The transaction is said to have occurred
about month ago:-
"A young lady Of Matamoros was ia
ken sick, and an old lady in the neigh
borbood, reported 10 have some skill in
tie virtues 81 herbs, was solicited to vis-
II TIC patient. From cause or other,
the cid lady failed 10 attend, and sus-
picious reports we're circulated that she
had bewitched the young one. The au-
thorities we're petitioned to compel the
attendance Of the old one. Officers
were sent to take her before her suppos-
ed victim, and these miserable ignorant
wretches reported that they on several
occasions repaired to her domicil and
could NOT End ber at home, but found
instead . suspicious looking black cat.
After several efforts, however, they
found the old woman at home instead
OF her cat, and she was taken 10 the
presence Of the invalid. But hex herbs
falling to restore the sick to health, and
the meddlssome black cat persistisg in
following its owner, and being by the
neighbors found in the room of the inva-
lid instead of her mistress, fixed the
opinion fast in the minds of these ignor-
ana people that the old woman and the
black cat were the same person;
that she, being witch, could take the
form Of the cat and assume her own
shape at will-that the invalid wa a
victim to her diabolical art. WIN
