it was not half cut through yet.

therefrom; some Of the gang saw her
when in the street aud gave chase. In
turninga corner she fell in the deep
snow, and feeling entirely exhausted did
not attempt 70 rise; the man happily not
seeing her passed on, and she sped in
another direction, wandering through the
street all night, covered only with her
night clothes, barcfooted and bsrcheaded
and afraid to ask for shelter--the snow
being at the time over two feet in depth

most needless to say that Brigham was
at the bottom Of the affair, and that the
Danites committed the deed by his d.
rect orders. He had previously ssid at
the tabernacle that Jarvis should never

I A body Of itinerant Capuchin Monks
lately got up religious revival among
the good people Of the town Of Grasse,
in the department Of the Var. One Of
them pronounced furious discourse a
gainst philosophers and romance writer's,
and at the conclusion Of fierce invec-
tive called upon his hearers, as they val
ued their eternal salvation to deliver up
to the parish priest, within twcnty-four
hours, all books, pamphlets, journals, and
printed papers whatsoever, not approved
Of by the bishop, which might DE in
their possession. Pursuant to this man
date large proportion Of the population
of the town came BY night to the church
door, and there, through an aperture pro-
vided by the cure, they furtiyely threw
down their sinful literature. The next
day, which happened tobe Holy Thursday,
the devoted books, comprising an immense
number of historical and philosophical
works, and Of novels, plays and illustra-
ted publications., were packed upon a
large funeral pile. AT 8 O'Clock in the
evening, all being prepared, the clergy,
preceded BY two infant choristers, each
bearing silver GROSS covered with q black
veil, advanced in procession to the place
Of execution Some "bad books which
had been brought in at the last moment
were carried by beadles in baskets hung with
black. The cortege marched slowly and
silently, lighted BY torches and wax can
dles.--The beadlcs having emptied their
baskets into the condemned mass of books
and papers, the holy fathers immediately
set FIRE to the faggots, and as the flames
burnt up high the cure ohanted "Paree
Domino" Some few made fun of the
proceedings, and put humorous questions
to the priest as they passed by. rl

In charming village, situated in an
interesting country, but considerable
distance from the high road, was Baron
r. accustomed to spend the sumner
His mansion, built on an eminencc, was
perfectly adopted to his fortunes. Hwas
a spacious building, both without and
within, and exhibited good style Of ar
chitecture; and it was about two hundred
PAGES from the village. " u
Business obliged the Baron TO take .
Journey of few days. His wife who
was but twenty years Of age, very beauti-
full, rennained at home He took with
him two OF his servants, and two others
remained with the Baroness. No viola
ton Of the public security had ever been
heard of in that part Of the country; and
as the Baroness did not belong to the
timid portion Of her sex, the idea Of
danger was far from entering her mind.
The evening after the Baron's depart
ure, - she was stepping into bed she
heard an alarming noise in an apartment
near her chamber. She called out but
received no answer. The confusion and
screaming increased every moment. She
| was at loss to conceive what was the
matter, and hastily putting on her gar
ments, went to the door to discover the
cause. A horrible spectacle presented
its self. Her two servants, half naked,
were extended lifeless on the floor.
The room was full Of strange looking
men; the Baroness chambermaid was
kneeling before one of them, and instesd

open, than two barbarians, with drawn
swords, rushed toward IL.

tl,man then, with his friend, rode Tor
ward three miles; and then the dog re-
ceived his signal from the master to re-
turn back for the coin. The dog turned
back; the gentleman rode home; but to
their disappointment and surprise, the
hitherto faitful messenger did not return
during the day. 1t appeared he had
gone to the spot where the half-do!lar
was deposited; but the stone being too
weighty for his strength to remove, he
had stayed bowling At che place till two
horsemen, riding by, and attracted by
his seeming distress, stopped to look at
him; when one Of them alighting, re-
moved the stone, and, seeing the money,
put il into his pocket, not conceiving it
TO be the object Of the dogs search.
The dog followed their horses for twenty
miles, remained undisturbed in the room
where they supped, followed the cham
