A CURIoUs TRIBE OF Jews IN HI

A CURIOUS Tribe OF JEWS IN Hin.
DosTAN.-In the city of Cochin, Hin
dostan, says the Jewish Times, live some
1000 colored Israelites, whose skin is
not quite so dark as that of the genuine
Ethiopian. They are Jews in every
sense, worship the God Of their fathers,
the only true Jehovah, and are intellec-
tually the superiors Of the white inbabi-
tants Of the place. According to their
own account their origin is as follows /.
The conquest of portion Of the East
Indies by the Europeans opened to COM
merce a wide field, and attracted a null
titude of spectators from all parts Of
the world Among these were many
young Israelites from Bagdad, Bas.orah
and Yemen, who came to make their for.
tunes in the new Eldorado. After they
had settled down they purchased from
the negroes black female slaves, many of
whom were afterward converted and then
married by their masters. 1t is from
these marriages that the present race
desceLds. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts
and law tables, written on parchment,
have been found among the Cochin Jews.

A man was hanged the other day al
San Francisco for murder with a weap
on Of a peculiarly dangerous nature
This is club, formed By filing an eel
skin with sand. When his instrument
vas first brought into use the authorities
were greatly puzzled by deaths, appar.
emily from violence, yet no marks could
be found on the body. A burglar was
finally captured with such club in his
possession. Being questioned, he ex
planned its use. When tho victim is
struck, for instance, on the head he drops
insensible and soon dies from congestion
of the brain Often the skull Suffers no
injury from the stroke, and if the person
struck recovers sensibility he gradually
relapses into a condition of idrocy.
Sometimes a man struck in the body
will be knocked down by the peculiar
force of the blow and feel no immediate
results from it. In a few weeks, how.
ever, the aesh will begin to mortify un-
der the line of the blow and rot down to
the bone. Heller, the celebrated pianist,
is supposed to have met his death in
Mexico from a stroke of this diabolical
weapon.

THE sec. .OoO, 900 LAND DISPUTE.
The Sheriff OF Northumberland Serving
Writs Of Ejectment.

The Sheriff OF Northumberland Serving
Writs Of EJectment.
The excitement created few months
ago about the possession of valuable coal
lands in Schuylkill and Columbia coun-
ties has been renewed. A correspondent
of the Carbon Democrat, writing from
Shamokin. under date Of July %, says :
The Sheriff of Northumberland county
has been busy in serving some eighteen
writs of ejectment, covering 5000 acres
of coal lands of immense value, being
part of 10000 acres lying partly in
Schuylkill and Columbia counties. and
supposed to be worth some $4,000, 900.
The suits are commenced by Hon. Fran
els Jordan. Of Harrisburg, who holds
these lands in trust for parties living in
New York. and is interested also. as ad-
ministrator of the late Governor Geary
The deeds were recorded here in April
last.
The plaintiff claims to hold direct
from the Commonwealth, having paid for
these lands, and that the title has never
been lost to them. The Philadelpbia
and Reading Railroad Company claim
these lands by tax title, and also by
what is known rs the Grant title, COM
mencing over twenty years after the
Morris title. The plaintiff alleges that
the tax title is good for nothing, and that
the Supreme Court has already declared
the Grant title to be fraud. The rail-
road company recorded mortgage to
the Fidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe
Deposit Company. of Philadelphia, in
trust for the benefit Of British capitalists
in this country, July 7th, 1871. for $685.
100000 Mr.. Jordan, with Judge Ship
man, made survey Of these lands in
May last. and caused several dwellings
to be erected and leased. The railroad
sent large body of men, vino
surrounded, upset and burned up the
houses and took forcible possession, crea-
ting quite an excitement.
