THE VICTIM OF A NIGHT CAP.
I was leisurely walking tlirou__<3‘l’f*'the sub-
urbs ofa beautiful city, admiring the attrac-
ions with which I was surrounded, when
two men marked by the knowing self-conceit
of policemen, rudely seized me by the collar
and pronounced metheir prisoner. Interro-
gations as tothe cause of this strange proce-
dure, were only answered with a look, as
nitich as to say, you'll find out soon enough
for your own liking. in vain did I protest"
my innocence ofany offense against the laws
of the land, and endeavored to enforce the
truth of these protestations, by assuring them
that I was a stranger and had but just enter-
ed the town. Despite my entreaties. I “'35
hurriediilong to a more populous part of
the city, when as might be expt-cteJ, the po-
licemen with a prisoner, attracted the atten-
tion of idle boys and passers by. and W0 were
soon followed by a noisy, mixed throng.
who amused themselves by crackingjo_kes'at
-my expence, and an occasional punch in the
‘-back, and if I attempted to resent the indig-
inity, I was brought up with a jerk by my
-=eaptor_s,which drew my neckcloth to a strag-
ling tightness. We at length came to a halt
before a building which cost over my now
;sinlring spirits the gloom of a dungeon, and
already made my ankles and arms ache,from
-the inconvenience of iron gaiter boots and
wristbands made of the same material.
I was uncerimoniously ushered into the
‘court room, where sat in all his majesty the
judge officio of a justice court. ,
Again I attempted to convince these guar-
-“dians of public morals and safety, who were
already counting tip their fees, that they
were greatly deceived in the person, but the
second attempt was as fruitless as the firsl.
and I sank back on the bench to which I
was pointed, with the very chaering intelli-
gence that if the court was not respected a
dungeon should be my quarters, with a sup-
ply of bread and water from the jiilei"s lar
der, until I learned to behave myself in the
presence of his Honor, Judge Hardsriul and
coternporaries.
Well I thought I it is all day with me,and
I nerved myself for trial and condemnation
or acquittal. for what I know not, as fate
should decree.
The prosecutingjustice rose and read the
~'alledged charges against me, which were in
-‘substance as follows:
Mr. Ichabod Doozenbury hid been found
‘with his throat cut and pockets rifled of cer-
‘tain valuables which theft and murder from
‘sundry circumstances, were charged upon
me. '
Who the docs was Ich. Doozenbury—
was an inquiry which forced itself upon me.
Where did he-live and where was he killed?
—and the absurdity of my having killed a
man whom I had never seen, known or
heard of, forced a smile, despite the seriotis-
ot my situation. 1123.,-
But then again I might be‘ found guilty
and hanged, for, among strangers, no wit-
nesses on my side, no one to plead my case.
tthere seemed but little chance for my neck.
'-and even the thought made my respiration
short and labored.
But to return to my trial. After the char-
ges had been read it was proposed that 1
should be searched. The process was com-
nienced, when lo and behold! a black silk
night cap was drawn from my pocket, and
impiediately identified as the one worn by
thedcceased, particularly so from aifilittle
bow made of narrow, dark ribbon, and tack-
ed upon the back. This cap it seems, de-
ceasedset great store by, as it wasthe gift of
a friend.——for which reason he always car-
ried it safely ensconced in his pocket.
I satdum-founded wondering how and by
Wl'):]E.’Ilev1nS such an appendage should get
into my pocket. This, of course, was suffi-
ce-nt proof against me, and after a few re-
marks from the proscc'uting attorney, the
evidence was summed up. and a true bill for
murder in the first degree was found against
me. I was accordingly, taken from the
court room to a dungeon, all attempts to
clear myself being breath spent in vain,
there to remain left to my own cogitations,
to await the next term if a higher court, and
then to be tried for my life.
Being snugly caged in my well fortified
quarters, visions of home. friends, the scaffold
halter, and a gaping multitude came and
went in rapid succession. I had no hope.
for if my trial at the coming court was to be
anything like the one I had just passed
through, I was sure of realizing my worst
apprehensions.
The time passed quickly,the court set,
and I was arraigned before the bar. Here
again the mysterious black cap was pro.
duced, which with other circumstantial evi-
dence was sufiicient for my conviction, and
the jury‘ accordingly returned a verdict of
guilty without leaving theirseats; the judge
pronounced my sentence, and I was to be
hanged forthwith.
VVitbout detaining the reader longer, I
was brought out for 'exocution, mounted the
scaffold with the stoicism of despair, the rope
put around my neck, the cap on my head,
and in a few minutes the drop fell. I felt
myself strangling, and with a mighty effort
endeavored to raise my hands to seize the
rope, and awoke, and found thatfa new night
cap which had been given mo the evening
before, and which I had mounted on going
to bed, had slipped from my head,and the
strings were tightly drawn around niv neck.
I unloosed my troublesome companion and
thanked my stars for so safe deliverance.
A IVIa.trimonia.l Ogfer in High Life.—
The Kentucky giantessjivho is only six feet
eleven inches high, has had an odor of mar-
riage from one nearly her equal, (in size we
presume) but for reasons not known refused
to wed. She has also been offered $3,000
per-year by a company who intended to have
offered her as an exhibition, but she would
on no consideration accept. She was born
in Flemming county, Kentucky, ofpoor pa.
rents. Her father is of ordinary size, her
mother is rather under the common stature.
The girl is twenty two years of age, and
stout in proportion to her height. What a
pity she did not accept the offer of marriage.
Her refusal cuts offthe chance for a race of
giants in the West.

Extract of :Lmu-*wo1't.
MON-G the multitude of medicines and
cure—a|ls, which are daily palmed off upoti
the unsiispeciingnpeople so often get disappointed
that they hardly know what to believe when 21
real invaluable medicine is first introduced into
the coinmiiiiiiy.
The niediciue which we now bring before the
public, is a compound not inveiilcd in aday, but
the maturing ofyears of reflection, on all diseases
which have a tendency towards Cti;\‘SUMP’l‘ION.
Complaints of the lungs, chest, and liver, seem
to arise from our variable climate; most danger-
ous to the invalid, and those of naturally weak
constitutions. Dr. La7bor’.s Vegetable Lung-
worl is of the most extraordinary nature in its
operations upon the system. It takes hold of the
pulmonary or consumptive patient has been suf-
fering, if the condition ofthe lungs arosuch as
not to be absolutely incurable, the lungwort will
eradicate every symptom of disease from the
body. restoring one as it were again to life. ,
All who are predisposed toConsumpiion Liver
Complaint,or troubled withCoiighs,Colds.Night
Sweats, Asthma, Pain in the Side or Chest,
Bronchitis, Hectic Flush, and all diseases ofllie
Pulmonary Organs, should immediately avail
themselves oftliis valuable remedy. Icaiinoi
