He was accompanied by no minister, either in the jail or on the scaffold, desi~ing no religious ceremonies, He mounted the scaffold with a firm step ; looked calmly around on the people, when bis arms were pinioned by the Sheriff, the cap drawn over his eyes, and he was placed on the trap. Here he was kept standing ten or fifteen minutes, until the military went through with certain manceavers, and got into just such a position, when the trap was sprang. and after a few slight stroggles all was over. So ended the eareer of the most notorious abolitionist of the present day. Ina few abolition towns of the North, bells were tolled and meetings held on the day of execution. to commemorate the virtues of Brown; and ahundred guos were fired at Albany to commemorate bis hanging.

Mounts Hood, Ranier, Jefferson and Adams were, undoubtedly, ; volcanoes once, but they are now extinct. Ina a paper contributed by Gibbs to the documents relating to the survey for a Northern Pacific Railroad, he says the Indians have a characteristic tale respecting Mts.

The . bow is very stout, and gives force enough to the ar. rows to send them through a man’s bo ‘4, at twenty yards distance. The inventive genius displayed in . the affair is considerable, and with some Yankee . improvement, might be made an effective weapon. Los ANGELES AND SAN BeRrNARDINO.—The Supervisors of Los Angeles mg recently had a he taeda before them to annex the county of San ernardino, when they came to the following conclusion: On motion, it was resolved, that, whereas it has been rumored that an effort will be made in the Legislature to annex the county of San Bernardino to this county; therefore, Be it Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county unanimously protest against the union of the two counties, and that we request our Senator and Assemblymen in the Legislature to oppose any such proposition, if made; and further, that the clerk serve certified copies of this . resolution upon our Senator and Assemblymen.

Tue Daveutex or Scu1LieR—It will be news . to most people that a daughter of Schiller is still living to rejoice in the universal homage paid to him, not only by the fifty millions of his eountrymen in Europe, but by the wide spread German , Face all over the world. In the Augsburg Gazette . there appears » letter from this lady, the Baroness pe rats She earnestly asks at gon wc g awed on illustrative, of her father’ 3 phy ~ ed: foot of a never trod before. The most remar discoveries they made consiated of two fresb water lakes, tho-e of Ujiji and Nyanga, the bare existence of the fitat of which ouly had been known, while that of the latter, by far the bad not even been }. We sball confine our notice to the Lake Nyanza as the must important, It was found to be 2,700 feet above tue level of the sea, and heuce about three times higher than the Lake of Geneva, Its breadth was estimated from forty to ninety miles, and its length conjectured at three hundred, which would give it an area ~ ~bow of we ens ef ay an mighty inland sea je conjectu t. Spe to be the true and sought for favrssen of the Nile—a question which has puzzled civilized men for two thousand years and is still uosettled. In our judgement the question is more of words than of substance. Every great river has many sources, aud it depends on the nomenclatare to which of the seve al contributing streams we may give the name which practice has assigned. e have, however,no doubt bat that the water of the Luke Nyanza does contribute largely toward feeding the classic stream, the inundation of which is the source of the fertility of that Egyptian valley which for thousands of years has exercised so large an influence on the civilization of man, Of the country and people seen by our enterrising travelers, we havea few words to say, he land is evidently less favored by nature than that of the western side of the continent, and the negroes are physically, and perbaps even mentally, inferior, The eastern side posseeses no navigable rivers leading to the sea, as does the western, nor has it the gold or valnable palm ofthe latter, Its corns consist of mellet and of maize, the latter received from America, through India. With apparently abundant facilities for irrigation, not a grain of rice, the main cereal of tropics, is grown b the rade and stupid inhabitants, The only val. wable product is coffee—still, however, ina wild state only. This is a peculiar indigenous plant in this part of Africa, although we call it Arabian, because we first derived it in its cultivated state from that country. The common fowl and oxen, the latter used only for their flesh and small milk. but not for labor, are the a animals which bave been domesticated. The horse is unkoown, and so is the hardy ans, except tora few Arabian settlere, Man, then, has here no help in bis toil, without which any respectable progress towards civilization is impossible, A hardy, course cotton is grown, and the art of weaving a fabric of bape pn J quality is understood. So is the art of makiog malleable iron, the highest stretch of negro civilization in this part of Africa, Letters are anknown to negroes of the eastarn coast, The staple exports consist of the bodies of the inhabitants in bondage, and of the tusks of the slaughtered elephants, The imports correspond ia value,— London Hxaminer.

He was accompanied by no minister, either in the jail or on the scaffold, desi~ing no religious ceremonies, He mounted the scaffold with a firm step ; looked calmly around on the people, when bis arms were pinioned by the Sheriff, the cap drawn over his eyes, and he was placed on the trap. Here he was kept standing ten or fifteen minutes, until the military went through with certain manceavers, and got into just such a position, when the trap was sprang. and after a few slight stroggles all was over.
