MISCELLANY.
tn-an south of liititude thirty three that didn't
tain him. lit the enthusiasm ofcounsel on
this point, they forgot to offer any evidence
as to the guilt of Day in the premises. The
Judge himself being likewise oblivious of
this fact, proceeded to chai‘gctheJury. llc
told them that man and wife were one and
were two. If the wift ran in debt, or abus-
ed ti nf.‘l_g‘l1b0I‘,t)l‘ knocked down and dragged
out a fellow citizen, the man and wife were
one. lf the linsbantl did anyof those things
then man and wife were two. He remarked
that in either event the man was legally
bound to stiffer; and therefore, come at it as
they would Day, was undoubtedly guilty. He
said he \vould’nt decide the question whether
if:t rrian kill his wife it is murder or suicide.
He was not prepared to express an opinion
on that suttju-ct; it was a very delicate one,
and he had no idea of committing himself.
(Some one in the rootn here, retnarkt-d
that he was inighty fond of committing oth-
crs) He then called tip the bailiff, a tre-
tnenduous looking cracker, wt-aringa broad
britn ‘wliite hat with crape, (I never saw a
wear aiwhite hat with crape,) and proceeded
to admonish him that the jury were very
much in the habit of coming in drunlc with
their virdicts, and that if it happened in this
use he would cliscliarge the pris_ox,ei‘, and
put his punishment upon them. The bailiff,
giving a significant glance at the Judge, rt-
plied that other people besides the jury corm-
into court tli'ur.k; thtttsome people thought
other people drunk, when some people were
drunk thetusclvesl The jury then re-
tired, and so- did my friend. The
next day he returned and found matters in
strt-I21. quo. except that Day and -his wife l:a'l
made up, and were Jiscussing together the
merits of a cold fowl and a quart of beer,
and now and then interclianging kisses, be-
spite the frowns and becks of the officers.-
The Judge, Clerk and Sheriff had been up
all night, and looked wolfish ; and the bail-
iff was seated on his white hat at the doorof
the jury~i‘.')oni. and his countenance indica-
ted that he had swallowed the concentrated
venom ofa thousand wild cuts. The most
has niarkt-d his bearing since the clay of the
comtnissiori of his crime, gave way, and he
sct-ined overcome of griefand dejection. He
sent for his brother, who remained with him
through the afternoon; he also desired the
attendance of a clergyrrian. During the first
few hours he wept. iriuch, but this emotion
aftei‘wai'ds gave way, we learn, to an appear-
ance of wildness bordering on insanity. To
pre\'t'nt self destruction, he will be kept
shacklt-d nritil the day ofhis execution, and
no one will be allowd tosce hitri except in the
presence of the Keeper ofthe Prison.
A Doctor Ou.tu=ittctl.—Dr. H J
was one of the most able, talented and accen-
tric surgeons of the last century. His pract-
ice enibrsiced a large circuit, and his fame
extvritlccl to every part of the st.-.te. The
Dr. was one tnorriing sitting in his office
pouring over some nit-dit-til work fresh from
the inotlier country via, Boston, when a loud
tap at the door aroust-d hirri. ‘Come in’ said
the doctor, and an old lady lit-lJl)ltt.l into the
ap:'ii'tuient who St‘elliE(.l the very etiibodimcn:
oftlirt and lit-'gllg_t'n(‘_I',
‘D ctor, l've got a dcsp’rate sore foot,can
you help it?
‘I will tt'y——lt-t me see it.’ .
The old crone pi‘ut'ct’(l- d to divest her un-
derstaitzlirtg ofthe apology for :1 hose with
which it was covered, and displaiytd to the
astounded Dr. a foot——-and such a foot!
‘My G~d !’ exclaimed the DI‘. throwing
tip both liauds in umazeinent—‘wliut a dirty
foot l'
‘La 1 (l0CtOt‘—-ye nt~cdn’t be in such ti
wondertnerit about it--tltere’s diriiet‘ fer-t
than that in the world, I’se warrant—aye,
and a dirtier foot in your own house, us
proud as the young lutlics. your tlaiigliters,
tire’ for that’-—and the old hug cackled forth
her pleasure at the doctor’s astonishment.
‘Wotnanl if you can fitid :1 dirtier fool
than that, in my house, I will give you a
guinea and cure your foot for nothing.’
"Pon honor?’ said the l)t'l(ltllDC.
"Port lionor,’ct‘ied the doctor.
The old woman stripped off the other
stocking, and displuye-.l a foot. that beggared
awful curses, oaths and sounds pi'or:et=tled
from the jitry rootn : some were roit ring like
liotts, sonic crying like Clllltlff‘ll, nit-wing
like cats, ncighing like horses, &c. At last
it short consultattion was held at the door of
the jury room, between the foreman and the
bailifl”; whereupon the latter, putting his
\\'llltL' hat one-sided on his head, came into
the court room, and addressed the Judge
thus: ‘Mister, Toni Jakcs says the jury
~--’* -ewe ab0u_Lthis here man ; and if yoti
keep hitn, (tl.at is Tom Jakes,) without. grog
arty uiore, he’ll lick you on Sig/Lt.’ The
Jzidge appealed to the but‘ if this was not :1
contempt ofcourt! and ‘Greene and Lump-
kin’s Georgia Justice’ having been consult-
ed, it was finally decided that, as it was a
threat addressed the Judge as a private indi-
vidual and was to whip hitn ‘on sight,’ and
not on the Item/t, it was not under the free
t-nlighened, and detnocratic principles of
Georgia lt-gislation, a contempt of couit.~—
This being settled, the Judge directed the
bailifl to say to Tom Jakcs, the fOl'L’llltll'l, that
thcjury should agree, ifthcy stayed there
through eterni'.y,’ The bailiff retired
and so did my friend ; but he gives it as his
opinion, from the frame of mind in which ht-
left all parties, that the jurors and bailiff are
still there.— Kttickerboc/.'er.
JOHN C. COLT.
Governor Seward reviews the case ofthis un-
fortunate rnaii with great ability, and concludes
with the following reniarks:
The laws are to be executed except where
their penalties can be waived without preju-
dice to the public welfare and for reasons
consistent with their general policy. Socie-
ty has been deeply shocked iiitdjustly alarm-
ed for the security of life in the metropolis.-
The deliverance of the prisoner by execu-
tive clemency would be an encouragement
to an atrocious crime. Nor the prisoncr’s
character or conduct recommend him to the
A Gcorgirt Trial.—A friend of mine las)
recently returned from an excursion intoiihel
circuit of this State. He tells me that‘
while in the county of , he strayed-i'n-
to the court house, and was present at the
favor which can only be sparingly yielded.
He dwells with just satisfaction upon extru-
ordinary respectability of birth; he possess-
es talents, and has enjoyed more than ordi..-
ary advantages of cdiicutiori, and has given
instruction in various modes to his fellow cit-
arraignment of a man of the name of Hairy
Day who was charged with an attempt, to‘
kill his wife. Day was a pale little mm ;,
and the wife who was present, was a fer-‘
fect behemoth. The indictment being ri1td,.v
the prisoner was asked to say whether ‘he;
was ‘guilty or not guilty.’ He answered 25
‘There's a mighty chance of layers’ liestl inl
the papers; but sotrie part is true. I ‘did
strike the old lady, but she fit me powerful-
ly first. She can sweat‘ equal to a little ‘of
any thing, and her kicks are awftil. Irk-
on what you say about the devil movingmc
is pretty tolorablc correct, seeing as howréhez
moved. I have told yoti all 1 know albuty
the matter, l\'lister._ I gin ‘Squire Jones tlere
a five-dollar bill, and I allow that he vill
talk it out for the.’ Squire Jones thereuyon
rose, and said that he had a law point, to
raise in this case, which he thought condit-
sive. It was an established rule of law,that
man and wife were but one; and he should
like to know if a man could be punishedfor
whipping himself 2 he should be glad to ltear
what the Solicitor General could say to bar.
The Solicitor General answered, that ,’he
thought his brother had carried the maxim
a trifle too far: men had often been punish-
ed for beating their wives. If a man shorld
kill his wife, it would not be suicide. Here
Squire Jones interposed, and defied the E0-
licitor General to produce an authority to .
that effect. -The Solicitor General looked
over ‘Greene and Lumpkin’s Georgia Jus-
tice’ for some minutes; and then observed
that he could not find the authority just then
izens. But he has contracted habits and re-
lations inconsistent with an inoffensive and
virtuous life.

Earl/iqiuz/lzc in. Co.n.rt(la.—An earthquake
occured oti the 9th inst, in Canada. The
following description is from a letter in The
Conn/Iiun of the 9th dated at Three Rivers:
“This morning about 10 o'clock, we ex-
nerienced a violent shock of an earthquake.
if was present at a marriage, and the Grand
ViCai"» M13 C00l<. had reached the Agnus
Die, when on a sudden, a sound was heard
resembling the rolling of a cart over the
frozen ground: This noise continued, per
haps, four seconds, and was followed by an
explosion resembling that. ofa twenty four
pounder; the trembling of the earth thtrn
coin nienced, shaking the walls of the church
and making its arched roof crak in a fearful
and surprising manner. I thought the
bullfllngt which was crowded withbpeople,
would have crumbled over our heads. The
scene which ensued baffles description; the
piercing lamentations of the females, and
cries of terror of the men, with the pitr-oiis,
despairing sh rieks of the children, were trulv
awful. A general rush was made ti)
the door by the congregation, the reverened
pastor and the affianced couple alone retain-
ing their position, not, however, without
feelings of great apprehension as to what
might happen. The \\’t*.11lht‘l‘-CO(‘.l{ on the
steeple spun. as in a highwind. Tbistrem-
bling lasted five or six seconds; had it en-
dured beyond; the church must have fallen,
and many would have perished. Descend-
ing thc steps, I raiserl three females whorri
the crowd in the crush of their escape had
thrown to the ground, but they were so af-
frigbted asto be incapable ofstunding. The
shock was violent throughout the town.—-
Glass-ware was destroyed, stones was detach-
ed from the chimnios, and window-pancs
broken in many houses; universal terror
reigned. It was strongly felt at the St.
Maurice forges. at Ytitnachice, and Point
du Lac, and s.ill more so at Bccnncour, Ni-
colet, and St. Gregorie. The waters ofthe
Sriint Lawrence were seen by many to be
violently agitated.”
Many believe that bees are hybernating
animals; but the opinion is quite erroneous.
They are livelythroughout the winter: and
the hive is always warm in consequence of
the heat which they generate. The more
numerous the bees in a hive, the more heat
is developed: and hertce strong hives can
resist the more intense cold. It] once hap-
pened that I forgot to remove froni‘-the door,
which was unusually large, of a hive in
winter, a perforated plate of tinned iron,
which I had fastened om the doorto dimin-
ish the heat in July: and yet this hive came
well through the winter, although the cold
was very severe, having been for several
days so low as OQ. But I had added to this
hive the bees of two other hives! VVhen the
cold isvery intense, the bees begin to burn.
By this means respiration is accelerated and
the development of heat increased. If, in
summer, bees without a queen are shut up
in a glass box, they become uneasy and be-
gin to hum. So much heat is by this means
developed, that the plates of glass become
quite hot. Ifthe door be not opened in this
case, o_r if the air be not admitted, and if the
glass be not cooled by the aid of air of water
the bees are soon suffocated.
A Beautiful Rema1k.—Mr. James, says.
‘the tongue of youth and health, speaking
friendly sounds to the ear of sickness and
age, must be the last, the brightest, the sweet-
est ofall things which can soothe the soul’s
passage to eternity.’
dtty, I observed the following brief lines, which
by your insertion may possibly be of some bene-
fit to those entering upon the marriage state. It
is the advice of an aunt to her niece. V
“Demand of) our bridegroom as soon as the
marriage ceremony is over a solemn vow, and
promise also yourself, never, even in a jest,
to dissent, or express any disagreement; I tell
you, never, for what begins in mere bautering.

any irritation at anot.her’s word,—mutun.| for.
bea rance is the one great secretof domestic hap-
piness. If you have erred, confess it freely.
even if a confession costs you sotne tears.-,-
Farther, promise faithfully and solemnly, never,
upon any pretext or excuse, to have any secrets
or concealnzents, from each other; but to keep
yotir private affairs from father, mother, sfste rs.
relations and the world. Let them be known
only to each other and your God. Remember
that any third person admitted into your confi~

and will naturally side with one or the other.
Promise to avoid his, and renew the vow upon
every temptation. It viill preserve that perfect
confidence. that union, which will indeed make
you as one. If the newly married couple would
but practice this spirit of conriubial peace. how
many unions would be happy, which are now
miserable." R,
Trarlition of Olden Times.-—.Among the
unpublished anecdotes of revolutionary times
we have often heard the following .f\-‘latthew
Lyon was a member of the old Congress, and
of _course strongly opposed to kings and

"None at all,” replied Judge Thatcher.—-
"Whatl are you willing to be called a cow-

knew it very well, or he never would have

upon Lyon, who wisely concluded that there
lvtlixs nfio udse inhtryinbg to fight with a man

Ariother member of Congress proposed to
afbolish tlhe use of t(ljte I:l‘.nglish language, in
l 6 new y Se crate co onies. becaus ‘t -
used by a pmonarchy. The Griielr,“iiii
thought would be fit!‘ more appropriate for a,
republic; he thereforeproposed to have
schools generally established to teach the
people the language of Phocion and Plato.
Another member suggested a touch shrewder
plan. He said as. the learning of Greek
was an inconvenient process for a whole
people, he would recommend to conquer the
British, to take their language away from
them, and make t/rem learn Greek.
“Row o7t.’—'For the first five years of my
professional life,’ once said a gentleman tb
us, ‘I had to row against wind and steam and
tide.’ ‘And what did you do 2’ was our
question. ‘Do,’ replied he, fdo, why’! row-
ed on to be sure.’ ‘And so he did row
on, and to a good purpose too, until he came
to the open sea, took favorable breezes, and
brought his voyage to ti most successful ter-
mination, leaving behind him a most envia-
ble reputation of worth and wisdom—im-
pressing the mark of his strong and excel-
lent character, deep and clear on the com-
munity in which he lived; and obtaining an
immortality worth more than a monarch’s
crown, in respectful memory of thousands.
His remark deserves to be remembered as a.
motto. The great business of all is to ‘row
on’ with unflinching courage, and steady
perseverance. All trade; and professions
have their difficulties, and almost every in-
dividual meets with .'liscouragements—-the
only way, therefore, to go ahead, is to ‘row
on.’ Decision of character-—determination
of will-—the resolution to press on, when
sure we are on the track, or in pursuit ofa
good and honorable end-—this is the secret
of living so as tocome out at fast safe 8:. sound.
There are ‘lions’ in every path, and they
mitst be met and conquered, or the hope of
ultimate success must be abandoned. A poor
man with a tribe of children, finding work
hard to getaharder when it is got, sometimes
will almost tlespair: everythingfwill seem to
be against him, but let him not be cast down,
lethirn. ‘row on,’ and by and by matters will
very likely grow brighter. Head winds are
to be expected: contrary currents will come;
the tide does not always run with us, but
never mind ‘row on ;’ and pull harder, till
the cars bend again: and victory will wait
upon patient endeavors. Those who
have risen from obscurity to eminence--those
who, from being poor have become
rich——tbose who, born in the midst of igno-
rance, have forced their way among the
learned—those who have made themselves,
and made thetnselves well, have generally
been those who understood the importance
of‘rowing on.’ ‘Faint heart never won a
fair lady,’ nor any thing else.

Beautful is the love, and sweet the kiss of
