An UNCOMMON PHILANTHROrIsr-Ther died
the other day at Paris an old man named Boul
anger. In his apartments were found no less
than ninety-fve different wills, or codicils of
wills, written on scraps of paper, on the backs
Of old letters and circulars, in the most informal
and confused manner BY these documents, NJ.
Boulanger had bequeathed large part of his
fortune, which was considerable, although he
lived in very parsmOnious way, to number
of persons who were not connected with him,
and whom he had never seen in his life 1t was
his habit, whenever he heard or read in the
newspapers of any remarkable instance of virtue
or seif-sacrifcing courage in real life, to take
bis pen and Immediately to write upon the first
piece of paper that came to hand, bequest in
favor of the person named; land he laid the
strictest injunctions upon his executors and his
heirs to take care that these legacies should all
be paid without dispute or delay.

EXTENT OF PUBLIC LANDs.-An Atlantic paper
sets forth the following rather striking exhibit
of the extent of the public lands belonging to
the United States:
''The public lands yet remaining unsold in the
Territories, are equal in extent to the present
thirty-one States or more than all Europe, ex-
cept Russia. Our sales and grants of the public
domain for 1856, amount to seventeen millions
six hundred thousand acres. larger extent of
territory than Belgium and Holland united Du-
ring the past year, Congress has granted to rail-

SHOCKING SCENE AT An Execution IN THE PA
PAL SrArEs.-A horrible scene took place last
week at the town Of Polombara, eighteen miles
distant from Rome, on the occasion of four in
dividualS being guillotned for having robbed
md harbarously murdered the tax gather of that
district year ago. 1t appeared that the first on
The list for execution. after having confessed and
received the sacrament, apparently resigned to
his fate. was seized with sudden repugnance to
placing his head under the fatal engine, looking
up to the axe with an air of great msgiving.
and absolutely refused TO knecl down on the
required spot.
On the exccutiOner and his adjutant endeavor-
lag to compel him to do so, he made the most
violent resistance to them, aud although his
arms were han&cuiit-l behind his back. struggled
and kicked SO as to battle all their efforts to carry
the sentence into effect for twenty-five minutes,
during which he was screaming for aid to the
spectators, "4Hjuao popolo meo - and implorng
the soldiers who guarded the scaffold to shoot
him rather than allow him to be guillotined by
force.
As no one assisted the executioner save his
lieutenant, they and their victim were frequent
~ in danger of falling from the platform, on the
floor of which the death struggle took place;
and had not the gendarms around more than
once supported their legs, they would have been
pushed off the scafold by the desperate criminal
At last they prevailed over him without having
recourse to the last means the law allows the
executioRer to make use of in this country when
offenders are hopelessly refractory-that is, to
stab the condemned man with the weapon the
executioncr wears in virtue Of his Office a strong
straight cutlass.
The second murderer was equally averse to
meeting his fate, but only delayed it for while
by insisting on reciting the ltany before dying,
which was allowed him, although he had previ-
ously gone through the last Offices of religion.
Eye-witnesses describe it as an awful scene to
behold the man on the scaffold reciting the lita-
ny, and all the people around him joining in the
responses. The unfortunate wretch would have
gone on with other prayers till his breath failed
him. had not the executOner cut short his tardy
prisons and hurried him into eternity.-C6rres-
