VAST deal of sympathy, we see, is working
up for Mrs. Hartung, the lady who poisoned her
husband ct Albany not long since,-with view
to obtain for her the Governors pardon The
following paragraph from New York paper
embodies about all of what can be called argu-
ment, in favor of setting aside the judgment of
the Court, which sends her to the gallows;
'Mrs Hartung, n German woman, of few
years and less experience, is now under sentence
of death lying in the Jail at Albany.
"This paper is ignorant of the life, story, and
crime of Mrs. Hartung. 1t is said that she
poisoned her husband; and that she was seduced
to the preparation of the act by an unprinci-
pied Lothario, who desired to possess her. If
this be false, it is all right; if it be true, then all
is wrong
"Be this as it may, Mrs. Hartung is woman;
and that, of itself should insure leniency if not
forgiveness. There is something so horrible, so
revolving, so abhorent, in the idea of the public
execution of n woman, that we cannot contem-
plate it for n moment"
There was nothing "horrible" or ''revolting"
in the pretty murderess putting arsenic in her
husbands tea! Nothing at all If she was
put up to it by the gay Lothario, the Govern
or, if he commutes her sentence, ought to do so
on condition that Lothario himself be hung in
her place.
The real truth of the matter in this Hartung
case would seem to be, that the lady is good
looking, and her good looks are doing much to
excite compassion which ugliness could never
command When "Monk Lewis" gave his devil
the shape of a beautiful woman Ciatilda) he
knew what he was about. Lewis, as well as the
devil, understood human nature.

MOTHER Throws HER INFANT OUT OF THE
CAns.-The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader of Thurs
day, says:
Soon after the mail train left Erie yesterday
afternoon, going East, and about two miles be
yond, workman engaged on the road found a
live male infant kicking and laundering upon
the track perfectly nude, and evidently not con-
tented with the situation he was in. He was
carried by the humane individual to his home,
and properly cared for His lady Immediately
took mothers care of the little foundling.-
While Conductor Murray was gathering up his
checks previous to arriving at Erie, on the same
train he discovered wel-dressed young lady
in the saloon of the car, with nothing peculiarly
strange In her manner, except, perhaps, an APP
parent uneasiness She handed him her ticket
and he passed on. After the child was discov-
cred, and the fact known at Erie, the conductor
of the train, then about an hour out, was tele-
graphed the facts, and tclegraphed in reply that
he had found the mother of the child, but hav-
ing no process, or perhaps inclination, she
was allowed to continue her course, taking the
New York ind Erie road East.
The cars must have been running at the rate
of twenty or twenty-five miles an hour when
the little stranger was so inhumanly put eff the
train.

"You will observe that have published seve

him hardly, his body is but barely cold in death,
and yet the telegraph furnishes US the news
that the punderers and placemen, the hungry
sycophauts, are rushing pell nell over his
dead body to the presence of Buchanan, to steal
march on rival aspirants. The Capital is full
of their exciting clamors. We are told that the
President, with show of decency that is COM
mendable, will see his late associates body put

A MODEL OF TEMPERAYcE.-Mr. STE
PHEN BENNETT, citizen of Bennetsville,
Christian County, KY, lately received
into his possession, in connection with
certain groceries, four barrels of whiskey.
Mr.. b., like every other good man, is OPP
posed TO the "infamous traffic." and thinks
il a very great wrong SO to do, but is not
able 10 lose the value of the whiskey.-
What then is to be done in the matter
The case presented to the good citizens
of the village; a public meeting is called
TO decide the momentuous question; a
committee appointed to draft resolutions
relative thereto, report that subscription
be raised to pay for the liquor and then
that it shall be publicly burned. The
money, nearly seventy dollars, is forth
with raised and grand illumination
made of the contents of the barrels, and
a resolution passed, praying the County
Judge Of Christian County not to grant
any moro licences TO sell intoxicating
liquors in that town. That's the way TO
do it.
