A MOMENT OF HoRRoR.-From twenty
three years age, old Jake Willard cult
waited the soil of Baldwin county. One
day Jake left the house in search Of a
missing COW. His route led him through
an old worn out patch of clay land, in
the course of which was a well twenty.
FIVE or thirty feet deep, that had at one
time furnished the inmates of adilapidated
house near by with water and in passing
this spot, an ill-wind drifted Jake's "tile
from his head, and maliciously drifted it
the edge of the well and in it tumbled
Now Jake was determined to have bis
hat and to accomplish this, he made fast
one end of a rope to a stump hard by
aud was soon on his way down the we'll.
Ned Wells was in the dilapidated build
ing aforesaid, and an old blind horse with
a bell on his ueck, that had been turned
out to die, was lazily grazing within a
short distance Of the well.
Some wicked spirit had it into Ned's
head to have a little fun so he quietly
slipped up to the horse, unbuckled the
strap, and with slow and measured " ting
a ling" approached to the edge of the
we'll.
Dang that old blind horse y said
Jake; "hc's coming this way, sure, and
amt got no more sense than to fall in
here. Whoa, Ball"
But the continued approach of the
"ting-aling" said as plailly as words
that Ball wouldn't whoa" Besides,
Jake was at the bottom Of the we'll rest
ing before trying to shin it up the
rope.
"Great Jerusalem !" said he. "The
old cuss will be atop Of me before l can
say Jack Robinson. Whoa, dang you,
whoa |"
Just then Ned drew up to the edge of
the well, and with his foot kicked a little
dirt into it.
"Oh y exclaimed Jake, falling on his
knees at the bottom of the well. "Fm
gone nowi Whoa-Now I lay me down
to sleep-whoa Ball pray the Lord
10y soul to-whoa, now 10 Lord have
mercy on me !"
Ned could hold in no longer and, fear
ing Jake might suffer from his fright, be
revealed himself.
Probably Ned didn't make make tracks
with his heels from that we'll !; and may
be Jake was not up to the top of it in
short order.

HORRIBLE Scene AT AN ExEcUT1oN.-A
horrible scene occurred the other day in
the prison yard in Jauer, in Silesia. A
young woman, not of the lowest class of
population, was to be beheaded for graf.
flying her jealousy of her former lover,
by an act that had led to the death OF
several persons. The faithless man had
deserted her and married another girl
The deserted mistress, to revenge her
self, set fire lis house, and several per.
sons persisted in the flames. She was
arrested, convicted, and sentenced to
suffer death. On the scaffold, just as the
executioner barred her neck and was about
to fasten her to the fatal block, she broke
loose from him and his assistants, seized a
large axe that was to cut off her head,
and then deied the dumbfounded officers
to take her. They rushed upon her,
showered blows upon her head, and final.
", alter she had wounded some in the
struggle, she was knocked down and
handcufed. She uttered wild, terrible
screams all the while, and the executioner
and his men tried to dispatch her as
quickly as possible. They tore her dress
from her shoulders, tied her feet and
dragged her to the block. Although she
still screamed and resisted, to the best of
her power, the leathern strap on the
block, by which the head of the victim is
drawn forward, was soon slipped over it,
and the executioner seized the axe. IN.
fortunately, the dreadful scene had made
hlm quite nervous, and, on striking her,
he missed her neck and cut deeply into
her shoulder and back. The blood rush

fellow out West tells how it feels to
be scalped by Indians. He relates of the
Indian who attacked him that he "took
out his knife, stabbed me in the neck,
and then making a twirl around his fin
gers with my hair, he commenced saving
and hacking away at my scalp. Though
the pain was awful, and | felt dizzy and
sick, l knew enough to keep quiet. After
what seemed to be half an hour, he gave
the last finishing cut to the scalp on my
left temple, and as it still hung he gave
it a jerk. l Just thought then that | could

Medicus OF the olden time, "and i Will cure

In one sense, both of these learned pundits
were the veriest charlatans. They knew
there was no place to rest their lever on, either
to move the world or cure disease. Mocha
nism was in backward state, and the medical
profession was but another name for sorcery,
and all the adjuncts of magic filters, and
charms Of the "evil eye," &c.
But these latter days have borne unto us
something more,than even superstition and Its

was theory of yesterday is fact to-day, and all
the old-timo notions become lis bubbles In the
sun, and burst and break with every breath
we draw.
Let Archimides shoulder his lever, and Q
will find resting place for it to move the
world. Let mine ancient Medcus pant and
toll no more for the drugs he SO sorcly needs
for we have them at our hand, ever ready to
serve them at his beck. t
