Having commenced with pieces of a sedate character, they passed on to NAlUee $nd thence to operatic music. One had played the Miserere id “II TroVatore” 580 times, and was commencing on the 581st performance of that piece, when he sank to rise no more. The other was conveyed to the hospital, his life being despaired of, and the four seconds are suffering from mental aberration. Easy MeSke* eg Kllllag.

[Homeward Mail, of India.]!

A carious case of mesmerism is recorded by the civil surgeon of Hoshungabad. A young woman named Nunnee, aged twenty-four,, was married some twelve years ago; she, however, did not go to her husband’s house for two years afterward. After staying with him eight days she suddenly became insensible, and remained so for eight or ten days. She was taken back to her mother, and soon got well. Then follows the very remarkable history. During the next four or five years she never entered her husband’s house without falling insensible and remaining so. He was very kind and attentive to her; she liked him, but whenever he came into her presence she at once sunk into this state. This went on till she became emaciated and exhausted, and at last her parents applied to the court for a separate maintenance lor her. While she was in court the hnsband entered, and she instantly became insensible and was taken to the hospital, where the case was carefnlly attended to by Dr. Cullen, in March, this year. While in this state her pulse was even, breathing soft, her body pliant, but she could eat nothing. Experiments were carefully made to see if there was no trick about it. While she was in bed her husband was muffled np and made to walk through the ward. She said she felt he was near her, and she was by no means well, bat had not seen him anywhere about Next day this experiment was repeated, and she actually became insensible as before. When the husband left the place she recovered. The experiment as to the influence of the hnsband’s presence was tried in all sorts of ways. He was made to pass behind her, and to be near her in a separate ward, bat this had no effect, but whenever he was brought to look on her face, though muffled up, or disguised as a policeman, as a sepoy, and so forth, she was at once influenced. The experiments continued for about a month, and the conclusion was that the husband unconsciously mesmerized hejr. The court came to the conclusion that it was impossible that she could live him. and a separate allowance was ordered. The husband was asked to try it he could not remove the effect, seeing that he had the power to cause it, but he was quite frightened at the idea of having the power, and could not control it in any way.

Fonr Men to be Hanged on

atantiol Evidence.

Four men, all of them white, are now lying in the epunty . jail of Burnett county, Texas, under sentence of death—all to be executed at the same place January 15. Their names are Benjamin Shelby, Arthur Shelby, Ball Woods and William Smith. They were all sentenced for the murder of Benjamin McKeever. Their case, taken in all its details, is one of the most interesting in the annals of criminal trials. The evidence against them, though conclusive, wasentirelv circumstantial. McKeever was shot from ma bone at night, near the residence of the ShelbyS, his throat then cut, and his body carried on horseback three miles and thrown into a cave. A large rocs, was placed on the bloody spot where his throat was cat, Uqt this precaution, instead of concealing the crime, led to the arrpet of the crinanala The keen eyes of a frontiersman saw that the rock had been recently placed there, so it was removed, and indications of blood found. A closer search resulted in the further finding of a paper wadding that had been fired from a shot gun. On examining the gun of Benjamin Shelby paper wadding was likewise found in is, and yet another wadding

INDIANA ITEMS. Terre Haute manufactures $200,000 worth of cigars weakly. Two flatboate were sunk by the ice at Rock port yerterday. Poeey county has voted $125,000 to the Cincinnati, Rock port and Southwestern Rail-

Mr. Arnold Herbert, of Lafayette, fired a New Year’s salute through the palm of his

hand.

Mia. D. E. D. L. Parque, a tinted oratress, is telling Terre Haute what she knows of HsytL Burglars and native minstrel troupes are making life a burden at Franklin, Johnson county. The steamer Commercial sunk at the wharf at Evansville yesterday, from the opening of seams. ’A Danville paper urges as one of its chief claims to patronage the unerring accuracy with which it telis when Thursday comes. Arthur J. Hawhe, well known in this State, and formerly connected with the New Albany Commercial, died in Chicago on Sunday last S. W. Fisher, of Indian Creek, Pulaski county, put a bigger charge in his shot-gun than oonld come ont at the muzzle. Now he has no gun and only one arm. The papers in the Northern part of the State have a good deal to say about ths “Calumet Dam.’* Some of the more fastidious peak of It as the “Calumet Curse.” Little Harry Hunter, of Evansville, battered his little sister’s head with an ax because she annoyed him. Aa it waa all in the family, it was not necessary for him to get insane. The Senate Railroad Committee are busy investigating the books of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad Company at Terre Haute, with reference to the alleged indebtedness of that road to the School' Fund. ByronJLane. of the Winnemajc Democrat, put the muzzle of his pistol against his breast to keep it from going off while he tinkered the lock. He would’nt believe that he was still alive till the doctor probed and found that the ball struck a rib over the heart and glanced outward. The peruicious doctrines of the advocates of woman’s rights have penetrated even to the cow-yards of Lafayette, and the milkers take everything upon theii own floras. Two gentlemen were on New Year’s (to use the elegant paraphrase of a local paper) placed cow da combat.” Mrs. Kemper, of Wheatville, Warrick county, was driving home from Evansville in a two-horse wagon, when the animals became unmanageable, and backed the wagon into a culvert ten feet deep. Her little son, daughter and baby were with her, and all went together into the culvert. The son and babe were not evem scratched, but Mrs. K. and her daughter were badly but not fatally injured. EBIB. Mmj Gould Going for tlie Engl tubmen Another $5,000,000 Abend. [From the New York Evening Mail.] A new leaf of the Erie manipulation in the English market has just been developed, hlch exhibits a remarkably successful speculation on the part of Jay Gould in Die London Stock Exchange. For several days past European cable dis patches have announced numerous failures among the speculators there who have been selling calls on Erie stocks, which is equal to selling the stock short fora decline, and one large London house, that of Henry Bentley A Co., ia announced to have jailed on 40,000 shares, being unable to meet its contracts. The names ot the othei unfortunate ‘ shorts” have not been reported, but they are supposed to have lost less than Bentley A Co. It now tarns out that Jay Gould, just pievious to the Boston fire, sent >a prominent Broad street speculator to London, with letters of credit to a large amount, and orders to quietly buy calls upon an immense number of shares. The stock in New York had been depressed by Gould about 10 per cent, and was made to look very weak on purpose

Figaro, down at Sen Frandaoo, tellf this: ^ Kssjrss srass: Opr friend Parker has a little brother whom -he would gladly waft at once over to the thither shore if society had not an eheurd prejudice againet premeditated murder. Young Parker loved Mini Claram, slater of said babe, and a few evenings ago he celled upon the lady for the purpoee of proposing to her. They sat on the sofa in the front parlor alone. As the evening wore on Parker plucked np courage, nudged over to Miss Clamm’s side of the sofa, and began some preliminary remarks about his “eternal happiness,” his “heart's lodgings,” bia “aouPtfidol,” his “love’s young dream,^ etc. Juet as he had taken Miss Cumm’s little hand in his end was about to squeeze it, a terrific sneeze was heard beneath the aoia. Parker and Clamm’bbth sprang up. Parker dragged the sofa away from the wall, and there lay young Clanmi snickering and chuckling as if he had rich things stored in him; and when Miss Clamm dew at him and boxed his ears he remained silent; bnt escaping, he ran to the door, and standing there with his hand on the knob, he observed: “Never yon mind! Pm a-goin right up stairs to tell ma that you and old Parker have been a-sittin’ down yer kissin’ each other, and squeezin’ hands, and hoggin’ like mad -a-carryin’ on scandalous. I’m goin’ to tell ma—certain! And you jist wait till pa comee, and if he don’t boot that Parkerouten the front door quicker than hghtnin’ my name ain’t William Henry Clamm.

An examination showed that there might oessible be a small piece of mutton covered with dough. This conundrum dinner cost $1, half of which seems to have been charged for attendance, which, by the way, was difficult to discover or experience. f

Hew tke Fresell Ball* Maaeas* Roofa The French, with whom the Mansard originated, construct it in a manner which combines safety with elegance, instead bf placing wooden or iron frames on the top of luhstantial brick walla, they carry up the latter to the extreme bight required. From the lines where the roof commences the bricks are corbelled inside at each course that is, the end of each brick projects over the one on which it is laid. A receding front is thus obtained far the roof, which, up to its highest point, ia as* solid as the wall* <4 tbe house. The angles of the hPbte off the outward face are smooth$d «raer, and the slate is laid directly on the sloping brick wall A coat of plaster is laid on the inside, the ftniMtihg'touchee are then given, aud tiro mansard roof ia as solid as •hi fc*rt of the house, of which it is tbe most elegant leature. It would be well for our insurance compauie* to examine the different method* of construction in use in Faria If the mansard roof can be constructed in a manner which makes it aa safe as any other these certainly seems bo reason to abandon so tasteful«feature in oar domestic architecture.
