now A DESPERATE MAN WAS SUB
DIED ny CHLOROFORM

The Cleveland Herald of Saturday, gives
an account of the tanning Of a murderer in
that city under sentence Of death As the
time drew nigh for the execution, Cooper,
the doomed man, became manageable.
Close observation Of his movements con-
WINGED Sheriff Jennings that another at
tempt TO escape would be made, and he con-
cluded 10 place him in irons. BY some
means, probably through some of the pris-
oners, Cooper became aware Of the intention
Of the sheriff. Ii was decided TO put the
irons on him on Wednesday. During the
day he went into his cell, and barricaded
himself within it. He tore up his bunk,
and placed the pieces against the door.
When the sheriff came TO shackle him, he
swore that no one should enter his cell, and
that the irons should never go on his limbs
while he was alive. He was perfectly wild
with excitement. His eyes glistened through
the barred door like those Of an Infatuated
tiger. He raved and tore around his cell
like a mailman, cursing and swe5sing in
the most blasphemous manner.
The Sheriff found that it would be impos-
sible to confine him without considerable
assistance. He, therefore called in several
Of the prominent men of the town, TO consult
as TO the best course 10 be pursued. Among
them was DIR. ID. r. Jennings, who proposed
that chlorOfom should be used to subdue
the enraged murderer II was at first objec
ted TO by some; but Drs. Keys and Graham
being consulted, il was decided that that was
the only means of accomplishing the desired
end. Two large syringes were procured,
that would each hold about one pound ofthe
subtle fluid. The syringes were filled with
the chloroform, a bed quilt procured to
place over the grating Of the cell door, and
after everything was prepared the contents
of the syringes was discharged into the cell,
and luckily struck Cooper full in the face.
lie was somewhat taken aback by this
novel procedure, and told them to come on
with their doctor stuff, but they would never
subdue him in that manner. 4 second dis
charge OF the chloroform laden syringe, how
ever, did the work. In little less than four
minutes from the time of the first injection
of the chloroform, the raging man was quiet,
and sank down ON the floor perfectly help
less. The Sheriff and his assistants took
him out into the corridor of the Jail, where
the manacles were placed on his legs and
arms. In about fifteen minutes he revived,
but the deed was done, and he was unable to
do further harm. As soon as he became
able 10 speak and move, he raised his man
aced hands and said with a wicked oath,
Gentlemen, you have showed good deal
Of wit, bat you are all a set Of towards"

A NEW MODE OF Shooting HORSES.

A Paris blacksmith has invented new
system Of shooting horses. Instead Of the
shoe being placed-frequently much too hot
on the hoof, and burning its own resting
place. the outside of the hoof Is cut away
round the foot 10 about the depth of half an
inch; this leaves ledge into which the shoe
fits, and is then flush with the frog, which
Jus, touches the ground, and the whole foot
rests on the ground instead of being raised
as Of old by the shoe. The visible advan-
tarss of this are that the foot Is little. pared
and instead Of great heavy shoe, the ami
NAL is shod in what are little less than facing
plates. The advantages claimed by the
inventor are that the horse never slips that
the shoe allows the foot 10 expand naturally,
and that il lasts as long and is as cheap as
the Old plan.

An EAST INDIAN EXPERIMENT WITH
RATS, SNAKES AND SCORPIONS.

4 correspondent in India seeds us some
interesting matter connected with these rep
tiles, well worth giving 10 the world. The
first is the record of a great battle between
the three above named.
81 saw a very curious experiment with the
cobra, which was however, rather cruel.
All houses in India have d current of air
constantly passing through them. IL is nee
cessary TO protect the candles by glass bell
shaped shades. Under one of these inver-
ted, was placed the snake, in company with
three large black rats, a couple of scorpions,
and a centiped. The ceutiped is about
six inches long, and If il crawls over man
leaves the unpleasant feeling Of a very pain
ful rheumatism for more than year. !
am unable 10 state the feeling of this happy
family at being thus suddenly thrown To-
gether. / should Judge from their proceed
ings that their ideas were, TO say the least,
antagonstic The snake lay quiet; the scor-
pion ran races round the edge Of the shade;
The centiped rolled himself up. The rats
were the only creatures which seemed alive
10 the unhappy state Of their confinement,
and showed il by game of leap frog over
the venomous part Of the family. BY an
unlucky trip on the head of the snake, one
of the rats at last aroused him from his state
Of insensibility, and expiated his offence on
the spot, as he fell dead from a bite. The
other rats instantly darted on the snake, who
succumbed 10 their united attack they bit
him from head TO tail, and he died; having,
with the little poison left after killing the
first rat, severely wounded the second. The
scorpions now began their part of the enter
s.:...sl,,.s, --.l i.s,.;r,ss that the drnwSiness
attendant on snake bites must be kept off at
all hazards, humanely forced the rats into
activity, by running under them and sting
ing them as they hoped about. Their
mode Of treatment however proved fail
ure, as the second rat who had been wound
ed died The two rats had however, put
the scorpions hors dc combat, so the last of
corabative family were now the rat and the
centiped; the last named had no chance
with the former, and speedily fell a victim,
the rat coming off victor. As a tribute to
his pluck and prowess he was allowed to
return 10 his native haunts, where he may

KATIE LEE AND WILLIE GRAY.
Two brown heads. with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet, white and wet with dew.
Two eyes black and two eyes blue,
Little boy aud girl were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Cray.
They were standing whore a brook,
Bending like a shepherds crook,
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks
OF willow fringed its banks
Half ia thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They had checks like cherries red;
lie was taller, most n head
She, with arms like wreaths Of now,
Swung a basket 70 and fro,

Pretty Katie" Willie said.
And there came dash Of red
Through the BROWNIES Of has cheek;
" Boys are strong and girls are weak
And III carry, so L viii,
katie's basket up the hill.
Katie answered. with laugh,
" You shall carry only half"
Then said, tossing back her curls,
" Boys are weak as well as girls.
Do you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed?
Men are only boys grown tall;
Hearts don't change much, after all:
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray
stood again beside the brook
Bending like a shepherds crook
Is il strange that Willie said,
While again a dash Of red
Crowned the BROWNIES of his cheek.
! am strong and you are weak.
Life Is but slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold ana deep;
Will you trust me, Katie. dear?
Walk beside me without fear?
May j carry, If n will.
All your burdens up the hill?'
And she answered, with n laugh,
No; but you may carry half.
Close beside the little brook,
Bending like a shepherds crook.
Working, with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands,
Stands n cottage where to-day
Katie lives with Willie Gray.
In the porch she sits ana, lot

an election in Amherst in nine years.
Radiealisna has recoiled upon its vota-
ries, and their power is over.
The election in Perrysburg went, as
usual, Democratic, with large gains
since last election. A very full vote
waspolled, and the Radicals have strain
ed every nerve, but to no purpose.
In Toledo the Democrats have elected
some of the more prominent city Off

In Canton the Democracy have made
asplendid gain, and everything prom
ises a large increase this fall.
From the Clermont Sun, April 4th,l
The Democratic and Conservative
men of Batavia township, on Monday
last, covered themselves with glory.
The Abs. carried the township in Octo-
Der last by eighty majority. Now the
contest was so close that a rart Of
each ticket was elected. We succeeded
in electing one Trustee, Geo. w. Duck
wall and the Assessor, Isaac Potter.
Hurrah for Batavia township! Negro
equality and unequal taxation are fast
winking out. When the Radicals met
to put in nomination their township
ticket, they defeated, in convention,
Mr.. Gest, because he was supporter OF
the Presidents policy, and nominated
II. n. Talley, Esq, Radical, over
him. Gest proclaimed himself an in
dependent candidate for Justice of the
Peace and defeated Mr.. Talley, the reg
ular nominee Of the Abs, by one hun
dred and ffty-four majority. If the
Democrats and Johnson men Of Bata-
via township will pick their flint and
keep their powder dry, abolitionism

that were. Again We say three cheers

Gals last fall, have elected their whole

from seventeen to twenty-six. The
vote was very heavy one. The 'cool-

Democracy is entitled to much credit
for their devotion to the Constitution

ABOLITION THEORY IN PRACTICE.
A Mr.. William Griffith, Of Somerset
Co., who is an advocate of Negro E
quality, has had his theory put into
practice. He has been employing ne
groes 10 work for him, getting their
labor for tleexpense; and is reported
to have said some time since, that he
'would rather have his daughter mar
ried to one Of his negro hands than to
be a copperhead.' 1t appears that his
daughter, fine looking girl about sew
enteen years of age, has taken heed to
his equality teaching, and to-day Tues
day eloped with a young Buck Mig
ger. She slipped out from her fathers
house, met the Niger on the road, and
walked to this place, intending to take
the carsand proceedto Harrisburg, and
yaere get married. Mr.. Griffith, find
ia@ by the absence of his daughter and
the Niger, that his theory was to be
put into practice, by a member of his
own family, telegraphed to the police
at this place, who arrested them on
their arrival here. Both are now IN
the hands of the police, and the ''equal-
ity'' is looking through the "ten If
diamonds" of the lookup.
Mr.. Griffith should not now object 10
this action of his daughter and the
darkey for he has taught them that
they are Capitalization Democrat.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A Com
mittee Of gentlemen from the State Of
New Jersey, called upon the President
to-day for the purpose of presenting a
series of resolutions passed at a recent
mass meeting held in the county Of
Hudson. The President replied-I do
not know, gentlemen, that ] can make
any reply to the complimentary man
ner in which you have addressed me,
and to the hesentiments and principles set
forth in your resolutions than to refer
you to my public acts. You must take
them as my reply, or any speech that
might make. l must, however, thank
you most fervently for the encourage
ment you have given me, for we are
occupyinga position that needs encour-
agement from those who are desirous
of maintaining the first and original
principles Of the Government. Ny line

find that the generous confidence you
have given me has not been misplaced.
