a .YERY noRH1ELE STORY.

instance of the diabolicali
ferocity which characterizes the pred
atory bands of Spanish robbers in
vesting certain sections of the. slever
faithful isle'i is related by the Havana
Journals of the 9th ult.i Some time
during last May a party of five rob
bers appeared at a Cuban, plantation,
possessed themselves of several good
horses, taking also various articles of
clothing belonging to an American
engineer on the plantation, and then
disappeared. The engineer, who was
abset at the time the theft was COM
mitted, on his return, indulged in se-i
we're threats against the perpetrators.
of the robberies., The, Bandits, on.
learning of this threat of iYengence,
reappeared o; few days later, took the
engineer by surprise, tied him hand
and foot, and then proceeded to lash
him with whips and throngs till the
man had tainted three times from the
loss Of blood and pain. They. then
tied him upon chair before his dwell
ling, and two of the number walked
into the house and violated his wife
The engineer, after this inhuman
event, became almost a, maniac, his
only thoughts by day, and night being
those of revenge, Recently, learning
that these two fiends were stopping at
o neighboring plantation, without adj
yising anybody of his intentions, he
armed himself and had the good for,
tune to find them both lying on, the
floor in an inebriated condition, He
secured the wretches by tying their
limbs with strong cords, and with the,
help of some negroes, conveyed them
to his house., ordered fires, to be built
and then threw both of the, bandits
into big sugar-kettles filled with wa
ter, which soon began to boil. The
men lived from fifteen to twenty min
utes. Their attempts to throw themr
selves out of the kettles, and their
demands for water and cries for pity
were heartrending, but their execu-
:ioner took a 5lfiendish delight in
throwing in occasionally a little cool
water, which, however, in moment
began to boil again. At the end of
twenty-five minutes both. his victims
had ceased to exist. The engineer
swears not to rest until he has caught
and punished the other three in a
similar manner. f.s III. .g,ge,J- ~

Discovery of Petrifed Trees Near Calls
Ai.55i'1 toga, California. a't -,
Correspondence ofthe San Francisco Bulletin !
While on visit last Friday, at Call
istoga Springs. / was told of petri-
fed tree which could be seen by going
upon the mountain, about five miles
distant. As it was rare, or uncommon
to indsuch petrifaction above ground,
and being much interested as an anna
teur in geology, I went with the land
lord of the Springs Hotel to the
locality, and very much to my aston
ishment and pleasure / discovered
twelve petrifed trees lying upon the
ground. The largest of the number
is about twenty. feet in length by six
feet in diameter, the roots being
below the surface of the soil.
This tree is broken in several places
squarely across, proving conclusively
that it was petrified when it fell. 1t
can not be otherwise, for no. such
fracture of living tree wasever seen.
I looked around, hoping to, find one
of them standing. but saw none.
They all show the same fracture; be-
ing broken squarely across the trunk,
with the parts separated as they
struck the ground, for a foot or SO, by
the weight of their fall. asiis.Ni o.
They are situated upon small hill,
or elevation, rising from the plateau !;
aud the hill is not soil but rock, which
crops out at intervals, There are
many similar petrifications, / am told
in this State, but thus far all of them
have been found below the soil. I
think DR.. Lardher mentions a case
where he supposed the trees to have
been pushed up from below by some
convulsion after petrifaction occurred
but have never heard of any other
discovery of such trees lying on the
surface. ..4e... I'd. s....a.sa,. 'l'
On Sunday, two gentlemen visited
the locality, and reported that they
found more than forty of the, same
trees within mile. l have not a
doubt of it, as of the twelve I saw l
found the last two accidentally coming
off the ground.
Being stranger, and unacquainted
with the variety of trees that grow in
this State, am unable to tell what
kind of species these trees are; but
the wood is silicified, having the quail
ity of scratching glass, and shows oc-
casionally crystallizations or opalized
spots through and upon it. ''a 'fs
| hope this discovery will be fol-
lowed up and explorations made by
the scientific gentlemen of the State,
and shall take great pleasure in ac-
oompanying them to the spot and
assisting in the search. s4

Wurtemberg, Baden, Lichtenstein and
Hesse- -Darmstadt, excepting its upper
province, which is a member of the
Northern Confederation. These States
embrace a territory about equal to
that of Pennsylvania, and a popula-
ton of 8,524,46O. AT the close of the
war of 1866 the people of these States
were divided in opinion as to the pro-
priety of EN- ntering the North German
Confederation, in view of the over
shadowing influence of Prussia. %.
Austria, which belongs to neither
of the Considerations, still retains a
German population of 1877 ,675. The
provinces of Upper and Lower AUS
