CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN JAPAN.-Thc
japanese punish murder by decapitation; parri
eide and other such heinous crimes by cruel.
fxion A prisoner sentenced to death is taken
to the place Of execution, surrounded by the
officers and having hung around his neck a
pacard, giving his name, age and rank, with
his crime and sentence. After his execution
his head is left suspended in sight for three
days, with the pacard still hanging to it, Ar
son is punished by burning the criminal at the
stake; yet, as enforced, this penalty does not
bring very painful death The prisoner is
first kept or a very scanty allowance of food for
some time Then, before being taken out for
execution, he is overfed on rich and highly
spced viaads, till he becomes stupid and iu-
different. He is fastened to the stake, and
wood and light materials are heaped about him.
These are lighted at the same moment in
several different places, and the victim is
smothered by the smoke as quickly as he could
be strangled by rope.

singular duel has recently taken place at
Berlin between journeyman sversmith and
another artisan. The arms selected were bottle
of sulphuric acid. The arrangement was that
whichever of the two adversaries threw the lowest
dice should swallow the contents of the fatal pha.
Chance favored the silversmth, who Immediately
poured out glass of liquor and handed it to his
adversary, who unhesitatingly drank off the liquid,
but to the astonishment Of his antagonist, instead
of falling senseless, smacked his lips and asked
for another glass. The seconds had acted on the
sensible idea Of substituting arrack for the cor
rosive fluid. The affair terminated in a recon.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

It will be observed by reference to page 9Th
of the Report of the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue fer 1866, that the tax collected on
cider brandy in the 3rd, now the 9th collection
district of this State, Of which Samuel II.
Wiley is Collector, and H. a. Helper the As
SCISSOR, is much greater than that of any other
District of either of the other States. Indeed
the amount collected on this subject of taxation
in this single district is in excess of any State
except the States of Virginia and Georgia. The
tax collected on cider brandy 10 excess of this
District for the whole State of Virginia is SIS,
l60 81, and that Of Georgia is So, 256 SO. The
license tax collected from the Distillers of cider
brandy in said District is 81 ,26S &c in excess
of the entire State Of Virginia, and 81 $50 81
in excess of the same in Georgia. ---
1t appears from the books of the Assessor
that he has assessed since the 18th day of Oc-
tober, 1865, to the lst inst, s5l7.742 96 and
from the books of the Collector S425, $50 90
has been collected and deposited to the same
date, S35, 600 transferred to other districts and
$4,000 abated.
Take into consideration the poverty Of our
people consequent upon the war, the short crops
grown for the past two years, the very few sub
jects of taxation in this County, and the search
ty of money, we cannot imagine how nor where
this large sum of money came from. The prac-
tical and liberal systems adopted by the officers
have doubtless contributed largely to this eEd
North State. .''-

A CASE OF CANcER.-For some time there
las been going the rounds of the press a receipt
for curing cancer by the use Of plaster Of
choride of zinc, blood root and wheat -four, said
to have been discovered by DIR. Fell Of London,
some eight or ten years ago. 1t has been tried
in this city, in the case of child who had
cancer on her lip, and so far the success seems
perfect The tumor about the size and shape
Of pecan nut has come out, and the process OF
healing has gone on rapidly and heathily. We
will take note of the progress of the case, aud
will report its final success or failure. The only
point yet to be determined is whether the cure
is so complete that the cancer shall not return.

J On Saturday last John Halpin was In
a saloon in Centre Wheeling taking a
glass of beer, and while he was engaged
in this exhilirating act, a young man
named Owen Reilly, with a party Of
four or five persons, came into the sa-
loon, and Halpin asked Reilly to come
up and join him in the flowing bowl.
Reilly declined, saying that he had
drank enough, but Halpin insisting, the
former replied that he would not drink
unless his friends drank too. Hal
pin told him to call, them up also,
which he did. After the party had
emptied their glasses Halpin paid for
q portion of them, and all started away
from the counter, when the bar-keeper
asked who was going to pay for the re-
mainder. Reilly said Halpin called
the party up. the latter denied the soft
impeachment, naughty words followed,
Halpin assaulted Reilly, a row COM
menced, and officer Stanley stepped in
and arrested the two combatants and
conducted them TO the lookup. Yester-
day morning Judge Good fined John
Halpin five dollars and costs, and dis
charged young Reilly from custody.

four such heads as theirs) and started

pursuit. The boys separating, he ran
after one running down Sprigg alley,
and after chasing him some distance,
changed his base and made after the
other boy, down Main street, and fol-
