The physician told him that several
persons who bad taken an interest in
his family had obtained leave Of the
Minister that no should suffer death in
some other way than on the scaffold, TO
avoid the disgrace Of public execu.

could die would be blood letting. The

GREENVfLLE FEMALE CoLLEdE:-We'
publish in another place the announce.
ment OF the opening session Of this In
sthulion in August next. This College,
has grown in importance in the esli>
nation Of the people, and even in
these stringent times is in a prosperous
condition aud it is a qualification to-
us TO be able to announce that the,
course Of instruction in this College, is
efficient and thorough. Parents who.
desire to give their daughters a thor:
ough education, can find. no better
place than the Greenville Female COL
lege. II is located in a pleasant and
healthy village, and no place can boast.
Of better society than Greenyi,le.
Another item Of interest and impor-
tanee connected with this College is
the fact that the citizens Of Greenville,
aided by an appropriation from the
Il" Peabody Fund.-" have provided for in.
struction in the Academic Department.
Of this College free of all charges
This advantage will certainly largely
increase the number Of students in this
Department, aud eventually increase o
The number in the other Departments

SINGULAR SPIRIT OF REpeNaE IN A

itor in our Office heard that peculiar
noise made by fly. when attacked By
a spider, preceding from q web on the
opposite side Of the room, be proceeded
to the spot. liberated the fly, and re-
turned TO his case. Sometime after. he
felt severe bite on his neck, and upon
looking for the cause, perceived the
identical spider from which he had tax =

possible haste, aud notwithstanding
the efforts made 10 catch it, it eventu,
ally, by means Of thread which it had
attached to his dress previous to m sking
the attack, escaped. The place bitten
swelled to the extent of half an inch in
diameter, but had entirely disappeared
on Monday. II is almost impossible to
conceive spiders watching a person,
decending from its elevation, crossing
the floor, and actually attacking him,
with intent to Kill, but nevertheless il is
absolutely true, aud we have no doubt
the little fellow. reireated, exultiug in
the success Of the experiment" We
will only add that il must have had a
most horrid temper.

serpents In Pile in South America.
