time mysterious nature This is a sand club,
formed By filling an eel skin with sand When
this Instrument was first brought into use the
authorities were greatly puzzled hy deaths, APP
phrently from violence. Yet no marks could be
found on the outside Of the body. A burglar
was FINALLY captured with sand club in his
possession made out Of an eel skin stuffed
with sand. Being closely questioned, he cx-
planned It's uses. When the victim is struck
for instance, on the head, he drops insensihIc
aud soon dies from congestion of the brain. Of
ten the skull suffers no injury from the stroke,
aud if she person struck RECEIVERS sensibility he
gradually relapscs into condition of idiocy
Sometimes man struck in the body will be
knocked down by the peculiar force of the blow
aud !ceI no immediate results from it. In a
few weeks, however, the flesh will begin to

ton Flndlcator gives the following conversation
he had with Mr.. David g. Fultz, of StauntoD,
the Radical candidate for Governor Of the

and when he would have carried it but for the
folly OF Henry 4. Wise, who, when the very
point Of victory had been attained, defeated i,
by some silly motion, though he had been advo-
eating it. That man, it seems to me, does moth
Ing but damage. believe he brought on the
secession. \ miserable fellow

with the pen. hear that he claims much Of
the credit of getting the amended bankrupt act
passed; but that doesn't say much for him. for

liugy drawn.
