a terrible scaffold scene took place at
Tambow, in Russia. Young Gorsld, a pu-
pil of the high School of that place, and
eighteen years OF age, was to be executed
for having murdered family Of seven
persons. The young criminal was con-
veyei to the place of execution on wag>
ON whitli was escorted by a company of
dfagoons. The gallows were surrounded
by crowd of ten thousand persons. At>
ter the doomed lad bad alig'aed from the
wagon, tile Sentence of death was read To
him: He was deadly pale, and faihted
before The warrant was read through. The
executioner then branded him, after he
had been restored 10 eonsciolsn sss; the boy
struggled violently and uttered heart-ren~
ding scrtams when the red>hot iron was
applied to his forehead. lie was then
whipped, receiving about thirty lashes:
The executioner thereupon urdressed him
and wrapped him In long white blsnket,
tied his feet together, attached the rope to
his neck, and drew the blanket over his
head. He thea lifted Kim on top Of step
ladder and was about to push him from It,
when the secretary Of the criminal court
stepped forward and told the executoner
to stop. The excitement of the crowd had
reached the highest pitch by this time, and
1t seemed as if al the ten thousand persons
around tho gallows were holding their
breath. The executioncr lifted the lad
from the step-ladders renewed .fbe blanke:
from his face, which was livid and distort>
ed with fear; snd then fhe secretary read
to him a letter from the Emperor changing
his sentence to hard labor for life. The
executioner then united his feet. gave him
thirty more lashes-the sentence having
ordered that he should receive sixty lash.
es-and then clad him in the convict dress
and chained his legs. He was thercupon
aken back TO his cell, and two days after.

Allan yscutcitii.

Allan Meniei,h, the hero of our story,
was the second son of chieftain OF that
name. whose father dying in bis infancy,
and the title descending to the eldest son,
.hs care of Allan devolved upon widow
ed aunt who lived on the confines of the
Highlands, On large and wealthy estate.
The child Of her sister, and almost the
only relative for which she retained an af-
lection, il is scarcely necessary to assert
that she INDUCED his wliims and caprices
TO an unbounded extent; and by the time
that Allan had reached the age of man
hood, he was addicted to every cxtravs-
gance and vice that the locality of the
place afforded him, Through the interest
pf his aunt and some powerful relatives. a
ccnimission was Obtained for him in the
army of Queen Mary-where among the
younger branches of the noble families of
that period, his needless propensi,ies were
encouraged and fostered, till they left him
so embarrassed. that his frequent calls upon
his aunt fol. pecuniary reliefwere ul;imate>
'y met with q refusal. His credit gone,
his desires ungratiiied, hc felt reckless of
all around him, and hesitated not, at any
sacrifice TO procure TIE means TO carry out
his views. AT one period, he had become
acquainted with Murdoch MIyor, man of
dissolute habits, and who, for many years,
had been known in the neighborhood
where his aunt resided as one of the most
daring catcrans or freebooters which the
Highlands held. This Individual had been
cnce strongly suspected of having com
mitied robbery on the premises of Lady
Alice. Allan's aunt: and although it could
not be brought directly home TO hirn-be
having contrived to affect his escape-yet
it Was firmly believed he was the robbcr;
and indeed such was actually the faet-for,
in connivance with Allan he had been adj
mittej into the premises, and the most
valuable pieces of .amily plate extracted,
and converted into money, which the two
had shared between them. M'Ivor had
thus the young Highlander completely in
his power; and whenever he found himself
in difficulty, he applied for aid to Allan,
which, il refused, he threatened to reveal

Our POsr OFFICE is being extended to double
its usual size, and tho range of boxes Is to be
correspondingly extended. This is a much
needed Improvement, as the crowd is uncom-
fortably thick and disagreeable at the arrival of
the mails At such Tins il Is din i.u!t and not
little repulsive to make ones way through the
closely packed mass of steaming, perfumed hu-
many that manages to get into that little re-
ceptacle. To meet the expense of this change
the rent Of boxes has been increased to full
round dollar, and few of us who use double
boxes. pay double that sum. This, we believe
makes the third advance Of these rents, since
our present worthy P. NJ. has administered lhe
affairs of the Office, each of which was thonght
eXhorbitant, and this last occasions more mt
tering than any previous one, as, on each Of
these occasions, so with the present, the dissat-
iStaclion showed itself in a refusal 10 take box
es. These murmurings, and refusals, arise from
sentiment more or less generally entertained
that matters like this, over which department
of the government has control, should he regu-
lated by some principle of right and justice, and
not be left, as appears TO them, to be mere Gu
pidity and pecuniary caprice. The people feel,
and justly, too, that after the government has
fixed its own terms for the transmission and de-
live;ing of their mail matter, it pariakes too
much Of tie character of extOrtion, or driving an
advantage, 10 saddle them with eide tax, that
in many cases amounts toimore than their Ell j..
tire postage bill. Cases frequently occur, in
whicha subscriber to the TeLegrcph prefers to
take his paper at the post Office, but so trifing
in amount is his correspondence that he does
not deem it worth while to pay for box
But the Postmaster will not allow such paner
to come into his Office unless the subscriber has
box. The rent Of such box, under present
rates being 81, is just half the subscripticp
price of the paper, and makes the home paper
cost iim at the rate of So year. In these re-
marks, we have given the impressions of those
who feel the burden, as they give them to u.s.
If peradVenture, the thing is all right, and the
government requires and needs this additional
postal tax upon :he people, it would beno stretch
OF courtesy to let that be known rather than
because it is not understood, ard some there
fore refuse to yield to its imposition, they
should, as in cases named to us, be threatened
with Indifference and delay ia The delivery of
mall matter. If one of the tacit, not to say ex-
press instructions to government servants, is
TO make the pecuniary requirements of law as
gentle, and as free from offence as may be, i'm
patience. threat and bluster, are all out of place
and if these impositions for increased rents are
all right, they should be at least carried into
effect, and accompanied with courtesy and for
bearance.
