It is a pleasant summer afternoon.— Groups of citizens tiro standing in the market-place of tho old Belgian town of Antwerp, and around a large buildiug which appears tc possess for (hem some extraordinary attraction. Tho building is tho town hall, and the day is tho tlav of tho trial of Leopold Winster and Chariot Lutzan, for the murder of Maria, Countess Kstevan, by poison. “It will go hard with tho miscreants, I warrant me,” says a stout burger in the centre of the group, by whom ho seems a reckoned per.-onago of va-t im portance, “and rightly enough, too, I say—for wo want no poisoning oo>ju rors in this fair city, neighbors.” ‘You are in tho right of it, Master Van Noordon,” replied another wiseacre and the mob, easily swayed, muttered their assont. “i would I had the hasting of that old witoh,” shrilly exclaimed a stout, rosy cheekod dame, with a pair of car rings saucily di [duped. “1 wouldn’t let tho roast lack hasting, I know.” A sally of laughter greeted this pret ty display ol woman’s spite, and a loud, hearty voice cried out: “Ay, trust a woman to run a woman down if she bo in trouble. They say wolves wiil eat a woui ded comrade; but, for my own part, I think tho spite of wild beasts is nothing to tho spite of woman against woman ” Tho dame who had spoken turned angrily towards the lust bold speaker and he would may hap have noine off with a scratched face, but for a loud shout from that part of tho crowd nearest the hall, which signified that the trial was over. “The sentonco ! the sentence 1! Are they guilty ?” cried a thousand voices. “Yes —yes—Guilty !” “And tho sentence ?” “The man to be burned alive ; the woman to bo confined for life !” “Hurrah ! hurrah 1” The air rang with a cheer from tho whole of the vast multitude, which spedily turned to a storm ot Lueses and groans, as the unfortunate condemned issued from the judgement hull, strong ly guarded. The trial had been short, but the evidence was supposed conclusive This is what find passed. The respee'ed Dr. Fruchen had tos flfied that he had boon called in sud denly oil the last day of July to attend a lady who had been taken ill, and was at tho.hou-e of the male prisoner.— He bad inquired for a suitable nurse for her, and was exceedingly sum k bv the readiness with which tins f - | risoner volunteered to fill that situation He had sent in two draughts bein'! simply anodynes, hut quite harmless, after taking one of which the unfortunate lady won fountl dead That she had taken tho dose there was no and übt, as the almost empty b Itle was lound with hut n few drops left in it. which, wdi n tested by himself, (Herr Fruchen,) were found to con tain uqunf rtis The second bottle, with its contents untouched, was also found to contain the same poison From that it was inferred that, had the fir 4 not taken effect, tho murder ers intended to administer a s eon ! doso “Poi haps,” added the doctor, “as there could bo ’ittle doubt that tho first draught would prove Mai, the second might have been intended for Don E-tovnn ” It was distinctly [.roved that (lie sole inhabitants of the house " here the alleged murder took place, besides the luckless couples, were Leopold M int zor and Chariot J.utzun ; and thu quan tity of gold contained in the valises of b,,th the unfortunate lady and gentle man supplied ample motive for their murder by a man so well known to be avaricious and miserly as \\ inlzer. The latter was a singular charac ter but one common enough in the age in which these events happened ife was a half scientfic investigator and half an impostor. He studied na ture and imposed upon man, fancying that his superior knowledge gave him the right to deceive his fellow crea tures. 0 By those who lived near him, or came into contact with him, ho was looked upon with some respect and a great deal more dread. He was known everywhere a« necromancer—as one who dealt with awful mysteries for awful purposes. His manner, I,is dress his gloomy house, his laborato ry, tho curious animals from tar-off countries with which ho surrounded himself, his cultivation of strange plants, were, in the minds of the vul gar, only so many proofs of his dcal jrg with the powers of darkness. On the night of the murder, tho ne cromancer hud, by his own admission, aqaufortis in his possession. Further, he confessed that contrary to his usual habit, he sat up all tho night. In the morning tho aqualortis was missing and belli the bottles destined for tho unfortunate lady were provod to have contained it. lheu the lemalo prison er admitted that tw icffiluring tho night she wen. to the laboratory to her mas ter (although she averred that the last time he was fast asleep.) and as. she also admits that her hand placed tho first bottle on the deceased s table, it was inferred that tho master consulted with the servant, prepared tho poison, and then left it to tho old woman to administer itlur a consideration ol part! of tho gold to bo acquired. Thus she j became an accomplice. This evidence was deemed conclusive, and the judges ; were unite 1 in condemning the prison-! eis Thus the old man w’as sentenced to be burned alivo in the market-place, \ and his ashes to be scattered to the , four winds ; and the old woman, in ’ consideration for her ago and sex, bo - sides having boon, it was supposed, ' to some extent, made a tool of, was DAWSON, GA., FRIDAY, FEIIItUAHY H, 1807. awarded tho mitigated punishment of imprisonment for life. Within a week tlio horrible sentence oil the old man was carried <ut in all its awful details, he to the lust protest ing his innocence. Indeed, (rum the tune of tho murder un'il lie was actu ally tied to the slake, ho spoko and acted like or.o under the influence of a dream Hut the populace were under nnotner impression. They fully be lieved him guilty, and when lie was brought out to dead), behaved in a savage manner, that moved the aged victim 1 1 to rs lie died confessing that ho had been guilty of many wick ed, impious impostures, but solemnly, called heaven to Witness that he was guiltless of the foul crime of mure! r Dame Chariot, as soon as she hoard that her poor old master was actually dead, I' ll into a swoon which lasted eight and twenty hours, and upon her recovery flora it, it was found that tho poor creature’s mind had given away. Her sentonco was then partially rev k ed, arid ns the old necromancer had letLno w ill, and his money was confis cated to tho State, the town council al lowed the old woman (who was harm less) to occupy her late masters house, under tho care of a middle-aged wo man named Gretchen as her attendant. To this house, then, about three months from the beginning of our sto ry, the two women repaired. On the very first night of their occu pation of the old dwelling, the old dame and her attendant sat in tho kitchen, where three months back tho worthy housekeeper had consequential ly tended the basting of tho fowl which was to be Donna EstoVan’s last meal on earth Perhaps even across her weakened intellect there dawned some faint recollection of this for she s.t sorrowful in her chair, looking va cantly at the wood fire, and watching the smoke curl slowly up tho broad old-fashioned chimney.- Her fri ndly attendant was busy pro; nring cups and saucers for their early tea, und stole now and then a glance at tho poor soulh-ss sufferer. At last Dame Ch irlot broke the silence. “Gretchen, was I ever here b-fore?” Willing to soothe her, Gro chon re plied readily: “No, no, dame; why should you think that ? This is the house given you by your good council, you kn>w.” “Council, couucil 1” repeated Char iot, vacautly. “Ay, dame ! but come, draw and drink litis hot cup of e ffot, it will chc- r y..u finely, I wariaut me.” And wor thy Gretchen commenced cutting bread and butter. Tucy bad nearly finished tin ir meal; when a sudden noise caus ed bo'h to bok up, aid Gre'chon scrcani'-d aloud. Not so the elder wo man ‘ .-ho looked on as if body and soul were about to part; with all her foicul ti.-s (such as fhoy .cnj ffX''<t on an ob ject in au ob.-curo o wner ol the old kitchen. It w is a largo black ape, intently on. g -ged in pouring the contents of sno [filial into another. During this occu pation, ho grinned and gibbered with devilish sati •focii n, quite appalling. A flood of light bur t in on the cb ill , and brain of the unfortunate Dune Char iot. .She sprang from her feet ns if eloctrifi and. “Bertram ! Oh, tho m-wikey ! the monkey ! My poor murdered master.— There ! The money—the murderer !” •*nd pouring out incoherent sentence af ter sentence, foil seiiseb son tho floor. The true uturd. rer was found In the hurry and tumult, tin the night of D ima Erevan” dearn, nobody had thought of tho apq who had hr three months since the tragi, a! event held en tire possession of ihe premises, living how and where he culd. This ape was one of the animals which Wiutzor had in his little menagerie, and fruin Lis half human p rope ns bios and his tame ness, bad been all .wed to nve through the hou. c and garden at will It is well known that monkeys will most faithfully aud accurately imitate the tfansaotions of human beings. Ou the night of the supposed murder the bl-.ck ape had been watching old Wint zer in tho laboratory until sleep over came the latter. It will be remembered that the vial of aquafortis bad been unfortunately left by the ncoroiuancer on tho table. The ape, eager to imitate tho motions of his master, had seized the vial. Ibit there was no other vial at hand in which, to empty it, for tho remainder were lock cd up. Suddenly a thought flashed on the monkey’s mind. There wire vials out side tho door on tho brackat, and he would use those. As tho charlatan had left open the door, on account of the heat, this was easy and the apo accom plished his design. This performed, tho apo, wth tho sa gacity #hich distinguishes his tribe when they have born perpetrating mis chief, left the bottles be had tamper ed wi'h in the place whero h i had found them, and secreted the unlucky vial which had been the csit-c of all the mis fortune. Dame Chmlot, at midnight, found the bottles precisely as she bad placed them, and, unconsciously, was the agent of destruction to the poor Spanish lady. That was tho first act of this tragedy. But unfortuuately, tho second act of the tragedy, in which poor old Wintzcr had played tho chief part, not bo recalled. Tho curtain bad lallun on it forever. Happily the third aot was never per formed Gretchen rpeedily gave the alarm ‘and the house w is soon full of sympathizing townspeople! The ape was secured, and it was found that ono of the two vials which ho hold when tho woman observ ed him, was tho identical ono which had i hold tho equafortis. For the eooond time, Antwerp was in an uproar, anl tho upshot tuny he readily guessed. Our old friend, Dame Chariot, received, her reason, (which tho shock had brought back such oases are not rare,) and sho livod to see a hundred ycais. Tho ropentaut townspeople would hav* orocted astatuo to tho memory of the poor necromancer, who was the victim of a monkoy’s freak, but they ohanged thrir minds and did still better. They raised a competence for the now happy Chariot. As her master had left no heirs, tho State made over his wealth to the old lady, in part compensation for her many trials, and she rosided till her death in the old house. Tho turned ill lock. Tho houso be came fortunate. “Madam Chariot,” as she was then called, sent to Vonioo for her groat-nephew, a famous jeweler, to como and set up his trade in Antwerp. Probably, with tho old lady’s guilders aid florins in view, ho did so—lived with her nearly twenty years, till she died in her hundredth year, when it was found tnntshc had left all to him. The g ldaiifiih amassed an enormous for tune, became ultimately ennobled and a member of tho Htatc (Jouncil, and his heirs in Antwerp have, to this day, for their arms, a monkey grasping an orap ty vial, with tho motto, “Out cf mischief rose fortune.” Thus whs a monkey the oauso of the deaths of three innocent people, and the founder of a nholo family’s prosperity. Mmihiaok.—The importance attach ed to the institution of marriage is not at all an exagerated ono. To select one from tbo mass cf mortals with whom you are henceforth to share the good aud ill of life in common; one whoso tastos, pleasures, interest and all ctioos are to be yours whether your twin jour ney be along tho pleasant and flowery valleys of exi. tonco or up ite steep and precipitous path; one whose morning and evening prayers are to ascend wi'h your o'vn God; one whose unclosing eyes are to greet the morning sun when yours do ; one who is to cat at the lame table, drink of the same cup, and to be, in a word, like the‘lamb whiou Nathan’s beautiful parable de-cribeg as ‘lying on tho poor man’s bosom;’ and all this is not for a few years only, but till death part you. To select a partner like this, ought, indeed, to be a grave, almost an awful task.

Terrible Combat. —Tho Baton llougo Comet givo the particulars of the death of a negro under circum stances of the most singular character. The negro had hcen hunting wild hogs, and shot one, but the wound not prov ing mortal, a struggle took place. Tho Comet says: The negro and hog, as we remarked before, were both found dead—the ne gro with iiis under jaw firmly held be tween the jaws of his formidable an tagonist, whose upper teeth hsd pene trated within tho negro’s mouth, while its under teeth held fast to the chin of tho poor daikey, who in this strange encounter provod both victim and vic timizor.

In the tittle town of D"rr, wlii ih is situated on tho Cumberland river, in Middlo Tennessee, th<ro lived some years ago, ami ccoentrio and intempor ato old bachelor, by the name nf Kings ton. O.i one occasion, when prostra ted on bis bed by excess, and suffering acutely from thoso stings and horrors pecluiar to his situation, he sent for one of bis old boon companions to como and visit him. Shyraok, for that was the othet’s name, came duly to Kings ton’s room. “What’s tbo matter, Kingston V ‘Shyrnck, shut tho door ‘Yea, my dear follow - ’ ‘Lock it.’ ‘Eh V tho do >r.’ ‘Certainly, my dear boy.’ ‘Shvraok, I am going ta kill myoolf.’ ‘My dear fellow, let mo ontroat you not to do it.’ ‘I will.’ ‘No, no I OLligo mo and don’t.* ‘Must do it.’ ‘D n’t it’ll bo the death of you.’ Shyraet was quite cool and jncoso, little dreaming that s i terrible au event, was actually going to take place. Kingston had, as the last coccnlrio aot of Lis lifo, taken a mallet and chisel to bed with him ; and now, with desperate resolve, be poized the extraordinary tools of death, and in an instant drove t!i3 blade of the chisel into bis breast. Tlio hair r sa up.m Hhyrock’s bead, aed fright spread like a sb- ot of snow over the face. “Kingston ! Kingston, my dear fol io*—you oid raical, Kingston ! do you want, to have mo bung? Hold! dou’t die till I call Somebody I’ Sbyrack ran to the door, and oallcd liko a madman to some people across the street. Hello ! hero, says ho, mister! all you stupid people, make haste over hero or there will be a murder ? The people crowded into Kingston’s house. ‘Don’t die, Kingston I dont chisel roe that way. Don’t die till you toll them who did it.’ ‘I did it myself,’ Kingston articula ted. ‘Thero, that will do; now, my dear follow, you may die,’ replied Shyrack taking a long breath and wiping the per spiration from his forehead. Aud Kingston did die in that extra ordinary way, as a uuioido that was al most a murder. Hunting for Gold.— A young man from town was seen iu a villagc.tt oven ing, looking about attentively in the gutter. ‘What are you looking for ?’ said tho man whoso shop was vis-a-vis. ‘Some pieces of gold.’ ‘Oh, I will assist you,’ and out ho came with a lantern. Tho neighbors all eamo with lanterns, and were 1 u ly grouping in the gutters at this news. Af ter a time, during which the young man let them runiagc by themselves, the first spokesman said : ‘Are you sure yon lost gold pieces here ?’ ‘I said nothing about losing any mon ey ; 1 wanted to find somo—that ia the difference.’ He was careful to make himself scarce after this praoticlc joke. ‘Tray my lord,’ said a gentleman to a late respected and rather whimsical Eng lish judge, ‘what is the distinction be tween Law and Equity Uourts ?’ ‘Very little ia tho end,’ replied his l ndship; ‘they only differ so far as time is oonoerned. At common law you aro done for at cnee ; in equity you aro not so easily disposed of. Tho former is a bullet, which is instantaneously and most charitable effective; the latter is an aug'or’s hook, which plays with its vic tim before it kilh it. The one is prusic acil, and the other laudanum. No. 1. Cl itinera of n Uiminil Ociiilix. Vivii r, tho celebrated horn-player, i one of thone men of whom anecdotes nr an eeevntrio insist’r upon having lis own way, and ills own way being whitu sica’lv peculiar. In England ho made a great sophh tion with his first concert., and invite lio&s to | lay at private pnrties were n necessary sequent. On tho day after, accordingly, a noble lord called upon the artist, and. giving s pull to hte rra vat in tho English fashion of n salute, he said, with his hat on, in bad French ; ‘You must como to ni trrow evening and play for tlio Duchess Sutherland.’ Vivior looked steadily at the noble man, and said with a significant ges ture : “Take "ff your hat !’ ‘What ! a-kod tho visitor. “Take iff your hat!’ “Ah t —ln England wo have tho cus tom of keeping our hate on.’ ‘Take ('ff your hat I* Yielding to tho pertinacity es three words, which the nrtiit would have gone on repcifiing thirty times if it had been necessary, the nobleman took off his hat and said once more ; ‘Yon must como to-morrow evening, aud play for the Duchess of (Sutherland. “You speak Fronoli very badly,’ re plied the artist. ‘lnstead of that impo lite phrxso, yon should have said, ‘The Puohcss of (Sutherland wi-thos very uiuoh to hear you play, atjd she has requested me to inquire whothor you will do her tho pleasure of comine to tho party whioh she proposes to gvio to morrow evening.’ ‘Ah ! but in Eugland wo express in the other way.’ ‘Very possible; but unloss you express it in tho hotter way I Lave described to you, l shall take no notice of tho invi tation.’ The Englishman evidently very angry repeated the invitation as directed. ‘I am happy to ncc'pt tho invituthn of tho Duchess,’ said the artist. ‘They will give ten peun Is,’ added the nobleman ‘There sgain, is an ill-bred manner of treatiug aih licato salij 'ct,’ said Vivior, ‘I should have made no bargain in ad vance, and should have loft it to the discretion of the Duchess ; but, since you have so unceremoniously overstep ped tho barrier, permit me to say that ‘ten pounds ia not enough.’ ‘Ah, but in England we only give ton pounds to an instrumrntiit. To singois like Grisi or Mario, wegivo fifteen.’ ‘I shall not. play for any price less than twenty-five pounds sterling.’ “I)o y.'u know,’ said tho Englishman knitting hin brow, ‘twenty-five pounds arc six hundred an 1 thirty-five franoes of your money ?’ ‘My prico, notwithstanding.’ ‘Well, you shall have it. But do your host mil ho punctual.’ ‘I shad bo ready when tho Duchess’ Ccrriage enlls for me,’ said Vivior. ‘Eh ? do you oxpoct a carriage to bo sent fo.ryou? It is not our custom in England.’ ‘I am very sorry, Vit Ido not ride in hackney coaches, and if madam, the Duchess, does not choose to send her own carriage for mo, I shall not go ‘Very well,’ said tho Englishman, lookhig perfectly amazed, but submit ting in spite of hire, elf, to the tone of authority and dignified manners which the artist assumed ; ‘the carriage Bhall be sent for you.’ At nin« tho next evening, punotual ly drove up tho Duc.hess chariot, with its fo> tmen in livery, and Vivior was re ceived with vory unusual politeness—a result, evidently, of tho diseription of bis manners givon by her Grace’s onvoy From that time tbo eoccntrio horn-play er became triumphal..

Power of Women in Turkey— A man meeting a woman in the street turns his bead from her; as if it wore forbidden to look on her, they seem to detest an impudent woman, to shun avoid Lor. Any ono, therfore, among the Christians, who may have discussions or altercations with turks, if ho has a woman of spirit, or a vnrigo for bis wife, sets her to revile and browbeat them, and by these means not unfrequontly gains bis point. The hightest disgrace and J«hnmo would al tend a Turk who should rashly lift his hand against a woman ; all he can ven ture to do, it is to treat her with harsh and contemptuous words, or to marsh off.
