A STRANGE EXECUTION mur-
derer on one of the South Sea Islands
was executed not long since by being
blown to pieces at the mouth of can
non. This is the capital mode of pun
ishment there. The following discrip-
ton is from The friend: ssAhout half
past eight one morning two boats came
ashore from the man-ot-war bringing
the Captain and Lieutenant and a num-
Der OF marines, together with the pris-
oner to be executed. A cannon was
placed close to the sea shore and loaded
with powder, and the prisoner was
lashed with his back against the muz-
zle of the gun. The Captain then made
a few remarks on the subject of muir
der, at the conclusion of which the
piece was discharged, apd the poor
wretch was blown to atoms.''

Extract from a new novel now in
press at Milwaukee: "Presently the
fair Adelgitha started up and turned
her ears TREMENDOUSLY southwest-by-
south true as the conscious needle to the
pole. sMethinks I hear a sound she
said. Nay foolish child,' replied her
companion, Rosamond, s'tis but the far
off murmur of the rolling mills; Not
so, not SO, Rosamond,' answered our
heroine, shearest theu not the regular
cadence of that sweet sound p $50

Adelgitha. otis the light footstep OF
my lover. He comes Alonzo comes?' .

to be the author, but this is merely con-
lecture based upon internal evidence

self directly in the bears path. Brand
ishing her pitchfork and screaming at
him, she attempted to scare him back
to the woods. But the bear was raw
enous with hunger, and he came straight
down the hill at her, showing his teeth
and growing fiercely. As he approach
ed and sprang toward her, Mrs. Pope
lodged and dealt him blow, the iron
rung Of the fork striking him exactly
on the end Of the nose. The shock
stunned the boar for an instant, and
during that instant, with almost super
human strength, Mrs. Pope plunged
both tines of the fork into the bears
side where she supposed the heart to be.
Either good fortune, or the hand OF
Providence, directed the weapon, for
one of the tines passed clear through
the bears heart, and he fell over dead,
leaving her not only victorious, but un-
harmed. After the excitement OF the
contest was over, Mrs. Pope went back
to the house, shuddering at the extrem-
ity of peril she had been in. But after
time her nervousness passed off, and
she went on with her work again, and
SO the afternoon wore away.
At length, when the sun was about
! an hour high, she saw her husband
emerge from the woods near the house.
She left her spinning-wheel, and. with
her baby in her arms, met him at the
door as though nothing unusual had
occurred.
s'Well, wife, l am thankful nothing
has happened to you while was gone
| suppose l was foolish, but couldn't
help worrying all the time"
81 don't know as it was foolish, hus-
baud. But hitch the horse, and bring
the bag in. want to talk with you.
When the bag was deposited in the
house, Mrs. Pope said: $50 you were
nervous about us, then %
eyes, don't remember ever being
SO nervous before in my life.o
''Well, husband, was nervous too,
I couldn't help thinking what could 1
do, il bear should come down from
the mountain after the sheep"
"Why, common sense would tell you
what to DO; shut the door, take care of
yourself and the baby, and let the sheep
GO
'sIDo you think so, husband 90
''Of course do. What else could
you have done"
"You will see if you go out behind
the barn and look"
''Eehind the barn? What do you
mean 20
81 mean what l say. Go and look
behind the barn.
Mr.. Pope started out in the greatest
wonder, willie his wife buried her face
in the haby's apron, to hide the woman
" tears she could no longer restrain.
To his utter aStonishment Mr.. Pope
found the dead bear behind the barn,
with the pitchfork sticking in its side.
When he went il and heard the sto-
ry from his wife, he fully realized that
something had happened during his ab-
sence, and that he had more reason than
ever to be thankful.
I am indebted to the wife of James
Harris, Esq, of St. Johnsbury, VT, for
this history OF Mrs. Pope's encounter
witt the bear. Mrs. Harris father
] Rev. Timothy Locke-lived not tar
from Mr. Pope's house at the time.
Mrs. Harris still distinctly remembers
seeing the bear skin nailed on the out
side of the. barn, where it remained all
summer, while Mrs. Pope became fam
Gus throughout the region for her hero
ism.
