YANKEE DECISION. ,
- " Some time between" tho year -1812, and
13, when considerable animosity existed
- brtween the people of Canada '" andAe
' States, and when some of the British sub
jects, who wero " dressed with brief author
ity,"" looted upon Hie Yankees IS barlilQo
U tter than brutes, the following is said to
have taken- place at the Custom House at
St. AaaRaleigk Register, iy '.- V
A Yankee s of considerable dimensions
entered the office and informed the officer
that he wished to enter his load and receive
a passport ThoonweeT-flast a sarcastic
- look at him, and snid that it was customa
ry for people when theyentcred bis office
to receive passports, to take off their hats,
and requested him to do so instantly. -s
"Wo, I thank yon, said the Yankee,
44 1 paid four dollars for that hat to keep
my head and ears warm." ""
" You impertinent puppy," snys tins offi
cer, working himself into considerable of a
passion, "how dare you" insult mcT Off
with vour hat immediately.
"No sir, can't do it, keens my bead
. proper warm." , :
Aftei several orders of a "similar -kind,
accompanied with curses and threats, which
met with no better success, ho stept up' to
-him and gave his hat a blow that sent it to
the adjncent . corner W tho room. ,
Tlie Yankee paid no attention to this J but
waited patiently until he bad received his
passport, Jblded and deposited it safely
within his wallet and was ready to pursue
bis journey, when turning to. the officer he
rem Jested him to nick tin his hat.7 and nut
it on his head.-' f '"' : .
Tlic officer much wroth, ordered him to
leave the office or he migkt get into trouble
for he did not often make words with
men of his deffcription.'
"I say, mister," says the Yankee, "you
must pick up my hat and that, in just about
one minute's time, or feel the weight of the
death mauls, n nhaking his fist rather near,
cr his lordship's face than was agrcea
blc. " ' ' :
The officer raved and swore nil to no
effect, and finally threatened to crfne him
it he did nt depart. .-,
"Mister says thrrYirnkco, "time'lbes
considcmblo binder fust," and at the Same
time beginning to unbutton his coat, "and
you had better be going after that hat." !

" it to if Owner ; Iwt liowas not satisfied
with that, and ordered him to place it on his
head precisely as he found it L Tlie officer
hesitated, but seeing the determination , of i
the Yankee, he set it upon bis bead, and
was about to depart when he was collared

i TJiere prevails ut Lucerne a very extra.
Ioruuiary custom, a custom that makes one
shudder, and that " cxiuts no where else.
The law directs tliat sentence of death shall
not be pronounced upon any who have not
I confessed theu crime. Convicted cnmi
hnats, from whom no confession can be ob
tained, are punished with hard labor only:
But what a horrible condition is tacked to
the miserab(c life which is left them! At
the next execution, the last condemned
criminal is compelled to repair to thcpot
where the scauold is erected, to catch tle
head as it falls, and to carry it to the grave,
in the presence of tlie whole popuMion.
Some months ago, an unfortunate young
woman was convicted of infanticide, and
executed. Iter wretched accomplice, con
demned only to forced labor, because he
would riot confess his crime, was Uierefore
I obliged, as the last person condemned, to
l.a .sr a -a a - -1 a a a a
take the head 01 ner.wnom lie naa lovea,
whom he had seduced, whom lie had ruined.
At the sight of that pale and lived head, of

obey; the application of tlie whip breed
him to perform the task. y "
MaTBiMoMiAL ExroBT. In tlie earl
settlements of Virginia when the odventu
rcrs were principally unmarried men, it
was deemed rjneessary to export such wo
men as could be prevailed on to quit Eng.
land, &s wives, for the planters. A fetter
accompanying the shipment of tlieso mat
rimonial exiles, dated London, August 12,
1021, is illustrative of the manners of the
times, and tlw concern, tlien felt forthc
welfare of the colony and for the female
virtue. It Is as follows: Nvj V ' 'A,
" We send you in a siiip,one wilow ond
eleven rrmiils for wives for tho people of
Virginia; there hath been especial care
had in tlie choice of them, for there hath not
no of tliem been received but upon good
commendations. -
"In cose that they cannot bo presently
married, we desire that they bo put with
several householders that have wives, till
they can be provided with husbands,' There
arc nearly fifty more that are shortly to
come, and are scut by our Hon. Lord and
awuHY4he-ait
ccrtninworthy gentlemen, who, taking into
tbeir consideration tliat the plantation can
never flourish .till families are planted, and
thejespect of wives and childreiHbr their
people on tlie soil, therefore having given
this. fair beginning; .for the reimbursing of
whose charges, it is ordered that every man
that marries them, give one hundred and
twenty pounds of leaf tobacco for each of
them.' : ..; : : -:- ' ' .
- Tliough we are desirous that the mar.
riage bo free; according to nature, yct we
would not liave these maids deceived, and
married to servants; but only to such free
men and tenants as have means to maintain

A writer in the Mississippi Free Trader
recalls some remarkable coincidences of
date on tho occurrence of tornadoes in that
region. In the month of May, (some say
on tho 7th) 1832, a very violent berricane
crossed tlic Mississippi, some 8 miles below
Natchez, passed oyer Saragossa, six miles
south of the city, on the Weodvillc road and
the Meadville road In a north easterly di.
rcction. The year 1824, on the same date,
precisely, another tornado' followed injts
track, and prostrated the gin at Saragossa,
and did much violence in sundry places.
The i branches andkayes of trees j&dSLin
Natclicz, and Uving fish7 of three to six
inches in length, were picked up in the
streets. Un Uie 7th May, 1832 alter an in.
