IN INTERESTIAG FAMILY.

4 family of English colonists, consist
ing of a father, six sons and one daugh-
ter, have for some time past kept their
native town In q state of uneasiness on
account Of a family weakness for muir
der. According to the story, in a brief
space Of time, the eight persons COM
posing the family managed to commit
over one hundred murders. On. of this
number, some OF the gentlemen of the
family were each responsible for thirty
murders, while the young lady only
committed twenty-five, though, but for
premature interference of the authori-
ties, it is considered probable that she
would have completed an equal number.
The predecessor of the present Cover
nor most ungallantly caused her to be
arrested, together with her amiable pa
rent and four of her brothers. 1t is not
stated what became of the remaining
brothers, but the poor old gentleman
was hanged about three months ago,
and two of his sons Net with a similar
melancholy accident on the 25th of last
month. The other two and the young
lady are still languishing in captivity,
and much anxiety is felt on their behalf /;
Tor unless the local judges take Il len
lent view of their ofenses on account of
their youth, they have but a poor chance
of resuming their position in society.

TIE sisters Smith, of glastonbury.
Conn, who don't believe III taxation
without representation, are determined
10 fight it out On that line. Abby has
written a letter giving an account Of
their attendance at a town meeting,
which was held to consider the cx-
penses of the town, and she comments
very sarcastically on the proceedings.
They were treated very civilly, though
nobody seemed glad TO see them. They
were anxious to conform to the GUS
toms Of the place, and so pulled off
their gloves when they noticed the men
wore none. The tax collector sat in
a corner. apparently not daring to look
the resolute sisters in the face. They
found it cost S317 to have nine men to
look after the school, and think a
smaller number of women could do it
better. They are living now in daily
expectation OF having their furniture
sold for taxes. They thought they
owned it, they say, but find it belongs
to the town, and there is no knowing
when tue owners will take it away.
The weird sisters do not seem to be
happy.

T'OFDODTSM

We have heard of a Nashville man
swall wing a crooked piece of wire, and
not been relieved of it until many years
had passed and gone, but that was not
half as singular as the case of anegress
at Shellmound, who, nine months ago,
took into her stomach, as she AYERS,
without knowing it, ten pins tightly
wrapped in q ball, composed OF African
wosl. The negress is the cook IN the
house of Mr.. Samuel Ingersoll. She
says at the time sheprovoked the emnity
of another negress, who in turn and
put of revenge resorted to a stratagem
to render her wretched the remaining
days of her w~ell-spent life. They were
together Il day not long after a hot
dispute which had arisen between them,
when her enemy handed her, at her in
vitation, in a pint cup, some water,
which she drank down, having become
somewhat thirsty from :he passion
which had been aroused in her by the
severe tongue-lashing of her opponent.
From tina. time on until last Sunday
she had constantly felt an uneasiness
in the stomach, and often grew sick
from the +" charm" which she believed
her esemy had given her in the water.
At times she seemed almost ready to 60
into coavulsions, when she would re-
cover from them and not be troubled
again for several days.
Last Sunday she was more violently
taken than ever, and was seized with
vomiting, emitting blood, and finally a
small piece of something having a re-
semblance to a hard wad. When it
was examined it was found that it was
composed of the wool of a negress,
tightly wrapped around ten pins, which
We're So bent, point TO head, as to pre-
vent sticking in the flesh, and thereby
producing death from any irritation
that might ensue. Ii is supposed the
continuance of the wad in the stomach,
however, did produce more or less irri-
%tation, and that the brass contained in
the pins doubtless had the effect to pro-
duce temporary sickness.
Since she was relieved of the "charm,"
which she still persists in calling it, she
has shown signs of decided improve
ment as regards her health.-NdsHpiWc

long since, an English barris.er was
convicted at the Central Criminal Court
IN London, and sentenced to s;xmonths'
hard labor for purloining books from

liberation he has been called upon by
his benchers to answer for his conduct,
and has been disbarred after an investi-
CATION lasting Owe three days. Dur-
ing the inquiry it transpired that, on
being released from prison, a check
representing public subscriptions
amounting to GOO pounds was handed
over to him. His benchers, i'll declar-
ing he had forfeited his right to be re-
tanned on the roll of members, remarked
that it was a matter Of great pain to
them to have to do what duty had rem
dered imperative, but after the COM
mission of a crime so derogatory to the
honor of the profession, they could not
relax their severity. After the sentence
of disbarment had been passed upon
him he gave notice Of appeal to the
Judges, but failed to put in an appear
ance at the appointed day, and notwith-
standing every inquiry, no one has since
heard of him. 1t was rumored that of
the proceeds derived from the books
which he had taken, he actually applied
Il portion to the ~sustenance Of Il brother

A SSiS la W-pDINT.

At White Cloud, last week, they had
a case, the decision Of which beats the
celebrated judgments of Solomon. A
person owing another money, gave him
a bill of sale Of his safe. The time ex-
pired, the debt was not paid, and the
person holding the bill of sale took pos
session OF the safe, and removed it to
quarters provided for the purpose. The
former owners books we're in the safe,
and he asked and received permission
to unlock the safe and take them ont.
In relocking the safe, he changed the
combination, SO that no person buthim-
self could open it, and npon demand,
refused to divulge the secret. Or COM
plant of the owner of the safe, this
person was arrested on IL criminal
charge; beth the parties engaged law
yers, and the trial commenced. The
attorneys for the defendant set up the
plea that the combination Of the lock
was In the mind Of defendant, and no.
where else, and that the sole gues-
ticn was, whether a mans mind was
subject TO a mortgage or bill OF sale.
Strange TO say, the attorney for the
prosecution admitted that this was the
decisive point, and the Justiceof course,
dismissed the suit.
