THE SPIDER AND THE ToAD.--A Curious Incl
dentThe following singular relation is furnished by
correspondent of the Boston Traveller, as having
been witnessed by person now living, though occur
ring more than forty years ago. about sixteen miles
from this city:
The narrator said, that while walking in the field
he saw large black field spider, considered of the
most venomous species, contending with common
sized toad The spider, being very quick in its
ments would get upon the back Of the toad and bite
it, when the toad, with his fore paw would drive off
the spider. 1t would then hop to a pantain, which
was growing near by, and bite it, and then return to
the spider Af:er seeing this repeated several times
and noticing that each time the toad bitten it
went to the plantan, the spectator thought he would
pull up the pantain and watch the result He did So
Being again btten aud the plantan not to be found
the toad soon began to swell and show other indca
tons of being poisoned, and died in short time. Il
| the plantan, which grows SO abundanty near almost
every dwelling in this vicinity, was such an mme
date and efectual remedy to the toad for the bite
thespider not reasonably infer that it would be
e1ectual cure for man for the bite of the samt

CAPTURE OF BRIGAND CHIEF.-A Paris cores
pondent of the London Globe says:
have already alluded to the capture of Rosza San
dor, the Brigand Chief of Hungary. This individual,
during the patriotic war, rendered good service to
the Hungarian cause by the invaluable information
he and his band enabled to obtain of the enc

country. IT ] am not mistaken he abandoned his vi
cious career and raised corps of partisans, 1t is
certain that after the crisis produced by the treachery
of Georgy and the intatuaton of Kossuth he was the
instrument in facilitating the escape of many who
would otherwise have fallen into the hands Of the
haugman Haynau. He succeeded in placing the
Countess Guyon, wife Of Gen. Guyon, beyond the
reach of the enemy, and freely exposed his life in de-
fense of Others placed in similar circumstances AT
ter the war he resumed his former and at times
has had disciplined forces under his command, with
which he has defeated the Austrian troops sent
against him. He never injured Hungarian, and u
his teas have been executed to the prejudice of Aus

burning barns, robberes, and planning the assassna-
ton of certain prominent citizens in that county,
turned there on Friday lasi. He was Immediately ar

hands of the law on legal proof. Not being able to
accomplish that object, the committee, on Tuesday,

dead. Randall was man of extraordinary physical
strength, and when captured was armed with a gun
and pistol, but did not offer any resistance to his cap
tors. JONES' sonin-law of Randals, was also in
custody of the committee, and was to have been hung

We had a conversation this morning with gentle
man from Yorkville, who informed that the inces-

DYING HARD-The London (Canada) Free Press
gives the following account of the suicide Of Scotch
man named John Ross, whose body was found in the
woods near Lobo, on the lst inst, hanging by the
neck from young sapling:
ct appears that the wretched man must first have
attempted suicide by sabbing himself in the bowels
five successive times with a small knife. Finding
that death did not ensue he must have proceeded
shown by the tracks of blood, yards of, where
he cut himself in the throat, and made second cash
completely severing his windpipe. Here another
pool Of blood was found. He must then have gone,
wounded as he was, to a tree, which he climbed,
evidently with view to hanging, but finding it not
suitable to his purpose he descended leaving the tree
covered with blood The blood tracks next showed
that he went some little distance off and selected q
young sapling to which he tied his handkerchief and
throwing himself his hands and knees, he eectu-
ally committed his purpose"

The boat. was accompanied by but one mana Grip
pie from infancy-having no use of his limbs below
his knees. He manages to hobble about slowly by
walking upon his knees upon which he wore some
thing similar to shoes He Is from Chicago, and says
he is going to New York for medical treatment
His dogs, of which he has six, large and powerful
animals, trained to perfection, and understand
and obey his word Of command as well as human
being could They tow his boat along at the rate Of
four miles an hour-he from the boat giving direc-
tions. When they meet a boat, they lay down close
and let the low line pass over them, and thus take
the inside. He has wagon on board for overland
journeys His boat, an open one, by canvas cover
ing supported on posts, is converted into saloon
which he and his dogs, together with tame raccoon
use for parlor, diningroom and bedroom all together
on terms of equality and good will He carries four
loaded pistols to protect his dogs from attack After
procuring stock of provisions for himself and com
panions, be anchored his boat little way from the
shore and attracted the attention and excited the
curiosity of passers-by who crowded around to solve
the mystery. This happy family reminds one forcibly
