THE NEwLY-DIsCovERED ISLAND IN THE
PACIFIC Captain Reynolds, of the U nited
States steamer Lackawanna, has taken
formal possession of Brooks's island, in the
Pacific, for the United States. DR.. Ken
nedy, the surgeon of the Lackawanna,
made an examination of the new territory
He reports it to consist Of two distinct CO,
raj islands, surrounded by barren reef
The soil is thin, producing only low shrubs
herbs, and coarse grasses, but with cult
walton it can be made to yield potatoes,
peas, beans, and perhaps other vegetables
Wells were dug by the exploring party,
and water found at depth Of from four to
seven feet. After filtration this water
proved to be hard and free from organic
Impurities in solution. DR.. Kennedy is
satisfied that by digging to proper depth
a good supply of potable water can be OBJ
tanned. The island is great resort OF
sea birds, but very little guano was found
The lagoon swarms with fish. "Welles's
Harbor" is a little larger than that Of
Honolulu, safer, but has less depth of wa
ter: at low water the depth varies from
twenty-one to sixteen feet. 1t can be
readily entered by vessels drawing less
than eighteen feet. Vessels OF HeeE
draught must lie in Seward Roads, pick.

was again drawn up, but with no better
success. The cord again gave way. Next,
the men dug pit in the ground beneath
the tree, and therein built roaring
FIRE. They then doubled the rope,
placed it again about Seymour's neck,
and gave him last opportunity to make
confession. He still refused, and mo-
ment after ne hung from stout limb by
strong cord, Immediately over a blazing
fire. In another moment he was literally
ablaze, and then he gave tokens by looks
and signs that he was ready to confess. he
was Immediately cut down, considerably
the worse for the fire, and then he made
full confession, besides designating the
locality where the gun had been hidden
He was then returned to the hotel, and
again placed in the room he had previously
occupied; and finally the vigilant constable
was shaken from his slumbers and roundly
abused for not attending to his business
This entire story certainly sounds very
strange, yet every fact mentioned is lite
rally true.

A Thief Thrice Hung and Roasted to
Extract u Confession.

From the chicago Tribune, December %.
On last Thursday the police authorities
of this city received a dispatch from Elk.
hart, Indiana, setting forth the fact that
on the previous day gun store in that vii,
lage had been feloniously entered and
robbed of several valuable fdwling pieces
The weapons were infinitely described,
and the matter was given into the hands OF
Detective Kelley. This .vigilant officer
Immediately proceeded to work up the
matter. During his perambulations among
the pawnshops he espied one Of the guns
described, which had been sold but mo-
mcnt before. This led to the discovery of
the thief, and before night the latter was
safely ensconced in the armory. The name
Of the individual is John Seymour.
On the following day constable from
Elkhart took the prisoner in charge and
conveyed him to the scene Of his depreda-
tions. The village referred to is one of
unusual quiet, and hence no preparations
had been made for the reception Of the
criminal. For the want Of o jail, Seymour
was allotted a room in hotel, at the door
Of which constable was placed in the ca
pacity Of sentinel. During the night the
tlred sentry tell into peaceful slumber.
While in this state of blissful unconscious
ness two men quietly entered the apart
ment and took the prisoner in charge. 1t
appears that one of the party, named Will
liam Collins, had some time previously
lost valuable gun, and at the time
of the theft suspected that Seymour
was guilty of the act. The other indi-
vidual was friend Of Collins. The
two men proceeded to the woods with their
charge, and, deliberately placing rope
about Seymour's neck, told him that he
must either confess where he had depo-
sited the gun, which they believed he had
stolen, or die. He answered them with
olasphemy and vulgar epithets. There
upon the rope was drawn, and Seymour
tangled between heaven and earth. When
he mad hung buta few moments the rope
