letter appeared in the DuLlin Morning Port of Wednesday
last :

TO Tilt 110 N. 311 ST ICE TOZRIENS.
Mr LORD—Although I have ever manifested a taste for bring-
ing delinquent public officers before the proper authorities, my
bitterest enemies, lam satisfied, never prognosticated that this pro-
pensity would bring me to the gallows. But so it is
I have to complain, my Lord, that the city hangman is in the
habit of bowing, that an unfortunate person to whom he had to
administer the last rites, and to whom lie had a grudge, he had
ample satisfaction of in his awful momenta, by adjusting the rope
so as to give him a slow though violent march on his loaj 40
eternity. The fiend's own expressive words are--" I mad am
smell hell."

parent, but as the evidence then offered dud rot s° to prove that tt.:
child came to its sicish by any unlawlial Mt.", the Jury PT* the,:
verdict, that a came to its end in a natosal wai. The ill.fate4
mother lingered until Thursday. the 24th alt., when death put •
period to her miserable exilaenee. After the CUIMILIitiOn of several ,
witneases the Coroner recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who,'
