The Cambridge Eagle, referring to the mass
convention proposed to be held, says:

no such meeting could he gotten up here, and
we rely too much on tAe good sense of the
people of the Shore generally to believe it can

How IT FEELS TO RE HASGED.-An ae-
quaintance of Lord Bacot, who meant to hang
himself only partially, was cut down at the
last extremity, having ntarly paid for his GU
riosity with his life He declared that he felt
no pam, aud his only sensation was of FIRE
before his eyes, whidl changed first to
/ black and then to sky hue. These colors are
even source of pleasurt. A Captain Montag-
nac, who was hanged inFrance during the re-
ligious wars, and rescued from the gibbet at
the Intervention of Viscount Terrcnne, COM
planned that having lost all pain in an instant,
he had been taken from light of which the
charm defied description. Another criminal
who escaped by the breaking of the cord, said
that after second of suffering, fire appeared,
across it the most beautiful avenue of trees
Henry ", of France, seat his physician to
question him, and when mention was made Of
| u pardon, the man answered coolly that it was
not worth the asking. Instances lill pages in
every book ofmedical Jurisprudence. All agree
that the uneasiness is quite momentary. that a
pleaSurable feeling Immediately succeeds, that
colors of various hues start up before the sight,
and that these having been gazel upon for a
trivial space, the rest is oblivion. The mind,
ayerted from the reality Of the situation, is en-
gagged in scenes the most remote from that
which fills the eyes Of the spectator-the vile
rabble, the hideous gallows and the struggling
from that swings in the wind
CURIOUS GEOLOGICAL THEoRY.-In COM
munication to the British Royal Society by Mr..
Hennessy, geoiogist of some note, he appeals,
in support of the possibility Of change in the
Ell rth's axis, to the influence of two disturbing
| causes, viz, the necessary displacement of the
physical actions during the process of solidifi-
, cation; and the friction Of the resisting medium
i'll which the earth is supposed to move. From
All inquiry into the process Of the earths, solid
itication, which appears to him mnst in accor-
dance with mechanical and physical laws, Mr..
H. deduced results respecting the earths struc-
tilTe which throw some light On the changes
! which may take place in the relation, which is
capable Of being expressed by means of func-
ton which depends on the arrangement Of the
earths interior strata.
He then states that he has found strong con-
tirmation of his peculiar views respecting the
theory of the earth's figure in the experiments
Of nj. Bischof, of Bonn, on the contraction of
granite and other rocks, or passing from Che
fluid to the solid crystalline state. From this
theory it follows that as solidi6cation advances
the strata of equal pressure in the fluid spher-
odial nucleus Of the earth acquires increased
elipticity, and each stratum of equal density,
successfully added to the inner surface Of the
solid crust, is more oblate than the solid strata
previously formed.
GARDENING.-The season has come in which
the trees and shrubs of the garden and yard
demand attention, if they are expected to pay
for the ground they occupy; and that they
will make a generous return for proper atten-
ton and care they have always abundaEtly
proved. As pertinent to this subject we re-
print the following appropriate hints from the
Germantown Telegraph of the present week:
A FEW SHORT HINTS. - Cherry grating
should be done as soon as possible.
Now is the time to stick your Current and
Gooseberry cuttings. Take Of last years growth,
cut out all the buds buried in the earth in
sert six inches, leaving eight or ten inches above
ground. By this course you viii have trees
instead of bushes, bearing much more album
dainty, fruit finer, and stock prettier.
Rake of carefully the top-dressing from the
strawberry, asparagus, tulip, and flower beds.
Also take off the covering iron the spinach
bed. We have now spinach fit to eat.
The early pea should be in the ground BY
this time, provided the weather continues warm.
So with your lettuce in warm borfer.
Trim your dwarf pear trees We find it good
policy to head them in pretty closely.
Cut ont all the dead wood, and COOL deal
of the old wood Of your roses. The rose bears
sharp pruning.
Trim and tie up your Raspberries They
never should be trimmed in the fall unless laid
