that he was derahged, and the jury acquitted him
OF the charge of murder, because of insanity
Upon this verdict being rendered, Judge Abel or

this reaches you, of insurrection at Puerto Prin
cpe, on this island and the going over to the
sub coados," or insurrectionsts, of an entire
regiment Of armed Spanish soldiers. But aside
from little eneute there is, from all we can learn
no truth for the report. How this enaelRe origi

in the dark. If anything very serious happened
up there, think all Havana would be full Of the
news. The difficulty is supposed to have arisen
indeed, it is so stated--between some Creoles and
Spaniarda. and afterwards troops were called to
suppress the disturbance. It is further added
here on the street, that three regiments from Ha-
vana have been ordered up to the scene of the dis,
turbance; but this latter fact amounts to but
little, as the troops on the island are being con
stantly changed. There is much bad feeling be

that we have had various duels. No other politi

A Cool Transaction.

Mr.. H. A. Harding, master painter on Girod
street, has had in his employ lately journeyman
named Cyprien Poulladie. Yesterday Mr.. Hard
ing's horse and buggy were standing at the
shop door, when Pouladie asked the use of it for
short time, to go on some business, and Mr..
Harding told him to take it, A negro boy, driver
accompanied Poulladie, but after journeying a
short distance, he got rid of the boy, by giving
him some money to treat himself in a coffee-hou
and drove on. Hours passed. and the buggy did
not return. AT last it was found in the possession
of Mr., A. Layvisson, who, it seems, bought both
animal and vehicle for forty dollars from Pouladie
AS soon as this became known the police were in
formed of the transaction, and soon after Mr
Poulladie was prisoner.

Fatal Effect of Cold.

We omitted last week, says the
Northern Albanian, mentioning the
mysterious deaths that had occurred in
the vicinity of AVoca in this county,
for the reason that reports respecting
the cause and number were so conflict
ing as TO be unreliable. We have
conVersed with Mr.. j. A. McMichael,
who lives in the vicinity of Avoca and
is personally conyersant with the
facts. On Friday evening the 18th
day Of January, a party of the neigh
boring young men and ladies assem-,
bled at the house of Mr. Isaac Scott
for the purpose of having a dance.
The night was extremely warm and
the dancers soon became wet with
perspiration. During the night a
heavy gale of wind commenced blow
ing and the weather suddenly became
freezing cold, chilling the dan
GERS 10 the bone, and in some
instances freezing their wet cloth
ing. In this condition they returned
TO their homes in the morning. On the
following Monday the first victim was
taken with a chill and died the next
day. Another and another followed in
quick succession, some living but a few
hours, Others longer. Up 10 the pres
ent writing, (Feb 6,h) nine have been
buried; several are still sick but
thought TO be recovering We give the
m of those who have died: Geo.
Scott, Jas. Key, Nelson Scott Miss Liley
Williams, John Nesmith, Miss Eliza
beth Scott, Miss Josephine Smith, Polk
Berry and Peter Looney. Reports have
been current that they We're poisoned,
but the attending physicians, Drs. Ste
venson and Mastersog, say not, and
that the deaths resulted from taking
cold Only those present who danced
were the least affected
