SwKDisu DAY AND Nuonr The pc.
culinfiiles Of day and nightln Sweden
strikes the traveller very forcibly, nf
ter being accustomed to tho temper
nte zones. In June the sun goes down
IN Stockholm little before ten o'clock.
There is great illumination all night,
as The sun passes round tho earth to-
ward the north pole, and the refrnc-
tion of its rays is such that you can
see to read at midnight without any
artificial light. There is n mountain
at the head Of Bothia where on the
2lst of June the sun docs not appear
to 60 down atall. The steamboat goes
up from Stockholm for the purpose of
conveying those who are curious TO
witness the phenomenon. 1t occurs
only one night. The sun reaches the
horizon, you can see the whole face OF
it, and in five minutes moro it begins
TO rise. At the North Cape, latitude
sevcnty-two degrees, the sun does not
go down for several weeks. In June
u would be about twenty-five degrees
above the horizon at midnight. In
tho winter the sun disappears and is
not seen for weeks; then it comes and |
remains for ten or fifteen minutes, af-
ter which IL descends, and finally is
not set at all, but makes almost a cir
Gle round the heavens. The Swedcs I
arc very industrious, and labor is
reckoned by tho hour, twelve hours
being reckoned days work Birds
and animals take their accustomed
rest at the usual hour, whether the sun
goes down or not.

A sad affair occurred at Greenwood

little son of J. Gregg, aged about
three years, killing his sister, baby
only five months old, with hammer.
The child was lying in tho cradle,
and the boy struck her on the head
with the hammer, no doubt in play
or without intending TO harm her,
killing her instantly. No one was
present at the time.

unpaid at the latter period, thcre shall
be added 8 per cont. and the duplicate

This law has been in force IN Ven.

The BYRON ScANDAL.-We sincerely
regret that Mrs Anna Cora Ritchie, who
has for many years held high place in
the esteem of the Southern people, should
have voluntarily become involved in that
hideous scandal of Mrs. Stowe concerning
Lord Byron.
Mrs Ritchic is said to havo written
letter from London, in which she says
that she has heard a member of Lady
Byron's family acknowledge that Lady
Byron made the same statement to him
about Mrs Leigh which seems to have
been made to Mrs. Stowe. We also learn
from Mrs. Ritchie that Col. George Cor
don De Luna Byron has arrived in Eng.
land, and laid before Lord Wentworth
his claim to DO recognized as the lcgiti-
mate son of the poet. Col, Byron was an
officer of Fremont's during the war, and
his story has been extensively published
in the American press. He says that
Lord Byron visited Spain during his
youth, and there contracted secret mar
rriago with Catholic lady of good fami-
ly, but deserting her and becoming cnarn-
ored of other fair faces, he determined to
conceal an alliance which was legally not
binding. This American Colonel avows
himself the fruit of that union. He fur,
ther declares that Lady Byron discovered
the secret by means Of some correspon-
dence between the poet and his Spanish
bride, and this discovery was the true
cause of the famous separation. Colonel
Byron seems to have furnished no proof
as vet to substantiato his romantic tale,
and Lord Wentworth accordingly defers
receiving him with open arms Whining
