resrful Death.

After very many years. saws
the Indian Standard, { there was
an execution at Lucknow on Tues
day, the goth nit. A Moulyie OF
some little repute paid the last pen
atty of the law. He was convicted
of a most brutal act of murder.
albeit not committed by his own
hands, but through means the most
revolving to humanity, and was
sentenced to death. He kept a
small school, aud one of the boys
who had been absent for two or
three days, on coming to school
was locked up by him in a small
room. In this room a snake had
been some days previously, but was
not killed. A little while after the
boys incarceration he called out,
A snakel a suake!' and implored
the Moulvie to open the door.
'OhP he said, open the door and
see for yourself for Mahomed
Russool's sake open the door, The
Moufyie would do nothing of the
kind. At last the poor boy was
bitten in several places in the
ankle, and he called out: 'Ohl
now that | have been bitten, open
the door, The Moulyie was inex-
orable = he would not open the
door, About midday the father
of the boy came to the school and
inquired for his Son-and inquired
why he had not come home for his
usual meal. The Moulvie said 81
have confined him for his absence
: Well, said the father, release him
now The door was then opened,
and the corpse of a lad twelve years
old, the only child of his parents,
was the sad and shocking sight
which presented itself, with the
snake coiled near his neck.

The following is a part of the
experience Of Mrs.. Helen Hunt in
Colorado:
AS we halted, three dogs came
bounding towards us, barking most
furiously. One of them stopped
suddenly, gave one searching look
at me, put her tail between her
legs, and, with a pitiful yelp of
terror, turned and fed. l walked
slowly after her; she would look
back over her shoulder, turn, make
one or two lunges at me, barking
shrilly, then, with the same yelp Of
terror, run swiftly away. At last
she grew brave enough to keep her
face towards me, but continually
backed away, alternating her bark
Of defiance with her yelp of terror
in a way which was irresistibly
ludicrous. We were utterly per-
picked by her behavior until her
master, as soon as he could speak
for laughing, explained it: eyer
see, that are dogs never seen a wo-
man afore. She was reared in the
woods, and l haint never took her
nowheres, and thet's just the fact
ont; she dunno what to make of a
woman" 1t grew droller and
droller. The other dogs were our
good friends at once-leaped about
us, snuffed us and licked our hands
as we spoke to them. Poor Bowser
hung back and barked furiously
with warning and menace whenever
/ patted one of the other dogs, but
if | took a step nearer her she
howled and fled in the most abiect
way.
