The Memorial Ash Trees.

In the churchyard of Tewin, Hertford
{ Eng. J, nature and art have combined to
produce a curiosity, the more interesting
because it is associated with historical
name, as we'll as with romantic popu-
lar legend. The Lady Anne, wife of Sir
Samuel Gransion, Bart, was born in the
troublous era of the Civil Wars and died
in her sixtieth year, 17l3. According
to the popular belief among the common
people, her ladyship was an unbelever in
Divine revelations, but was wont to say,
nevertheless, if the Bible were true.
seven ash trees would grow above her
grave. Such is the legend, and the trees
however they may be accounted for, GER
tainly appeared, though it is affirmed,
they were never planted by human
agency. The seven ash trees and three
others have SO far overcome all obstacles
to their growth, as to be completely
masters of the situation. The masonry
of the tomb, the iron railings surround
ing it, and the natural wood were in
time welded, bound and interlaced
together in one inseparable mass. Here
an iron pin or bar was disjointed, there
the stonework would be lifted from it's
original position, and even the roots OF
the trees appeared to be those OF one
gtpn.

BENJAMIN HUNTER was ha ged at Cam
den, n. j., On the 10th of January, for the
murder of Armstrong, former partner in
business, in January, 1878. The place se-
lected for the execution was inside the
ri. h ut ha into -
| corridors which run into the shape of a
cross on the first floor. There was no scat
fold, nothing being visible of the machinery
of death except long g-nocsed fore, hanging
| apparently from the selling. In the narrow
corridor OF the courtroom, about two hun.
dred persons, the Sheriff's posse com,itatus,
members of the press and others, were
tightly packed together. Hunter, who had,
up to the past few days, maintained slug
| gish Indifference, was that morning, ex-
tremely respondent, and very nervous. He
| rose at six, and refused to partake of any
breakfast. At 1880 Hunters pulse was
about one hundred. An attempt at suicide,
by cutting an artery in bis leg, caGsed him to
be very weak from the loss of blood. He also
attempted suicide by starvation, refusing to
eat, but was kept alive by injection. His
! pulse at various hours had been as high as
one hundred and eighty. At II IS the exc
cution took place. The rope either was too
long or stretched SO much that Hunter was
not more than fairly lifted from the floor
| when he fell back, but was caught in the
arms Of the Sheriff. Assistant Sheriff Cal.
houn seized the rope and hoisted Hunter
into the air, and he was thus henges. A
number of persons holding the rope and
keeping him suspended in the air. The
physicians said that his neck was not
broken, and he died by straneulation, yet
he gave no evidence of pain, hanging as
though he had died instantly.

FEARS are entertained by the Ger
man and Swedish friends of Professor
Nordenskjold, that his expedition is
blocked in the ice above East Cape, at
the northern entrance Of the narrows
of Behring Strait. Whalers reaching
San Francisco early this month from
the Arctic Ocean reported a ship in
such pogition, and it is thought that
the Vegs, the largest ship Of the expe-
dition, should have arrived as far north
and east as the point indie ited. A re-
lief expedition is being fitted out.
