EXECUTIONS IN THE UNITED STATZS.—Eallghlg man in the United States is performel by jerking him upwards, not by letting him fall. A murderer executed on the 20th of May, at Evansville, Indiana, died in ten minutes. Another, banged on the same day, at Fonda, New York, was pronounced dead in fourteen minutes; ten minutes after the rope was pulled up his pulse was still beating. A more minute account is given of Bulb:At, who was hanged in Bingharapton a week before. "At eight minutes the lungs were filled by inhalation, at nine minutes there were 21 pulsations to the minute, at twelve minutes the pulse was imperceptible, at 14 minutes there was no pulsation to the heart. Pronounced dead in 20 minutes." "When jerked up he had his hands in his pantaloon pockets, but the violence of the shock of the body settling down upon the rope pulled out the right hand. Eyes almost started from their sockets to see that hand move backwards three or more inches and thrust itself into the pocket just an it was before." Much interest was excited about Rulloff, from his having been long trying to get credit for a new philological theory, and physicians examined him before he was executed to ascertain whether he was sane. On the night after his execution his grave was opened three times by parties desirous of obtaining his Lead; but the New York Time. states that the head was out off before the burial, and handed over to surgeons, who report that the brain weighed no less than 59 ounces. The body was five feet ten inches high, and 19 inches across the shoulders ; the weight, in good condition, was about 175 lb. The lower portion of the brain was unusually large. The skull was in no part less than threeeighths of an inch in thickness. The brain is to be hardened and impressions then taken.  fforstiman's Pure Btack Tea: The uniform Gaga, ArfliiNOTH Of this Tel is much appreciated, from its con fisting only of the choieeit Spring (growths that Lave no inferior leaves to be disguised With injurious artiflcial :mooring powder. !Amain ita's Pure Green Tea imparts a OKLICIOIIII FLAVOUR to the Pure Black, and is :Wager Ind more wholesome than the usual Green sorts.
