EXECUTION OF DDIIIOLLARD.

Dumollard, whose horrible murders and violations
of his victims, mostly young women in search of
service, have been fully reported, paid the penalty,
of his crimes at the guillotine on Saturday last. He
wasinformed at four on Friday afternoon that the
Court of Cessation had rejected his appeal, and that
he would be executed on Saturday morning.
answered quite coolly, "As well to-morrow as.
later." The chaplain of the prison and the cure of
Bourg came to visit him a few minutes afterwards,
and he promised them that he would " confess."
before he died. That expression must be understood
as referring to the sacrament of confession according
to the Romish Church, and not to any public reve-
lation of his crimes ; for all the accounts confirm the
telegraphic statement that ho made none. At six
o'clock his irons were struck off, and ho seemed
greatly pleased at ti,is relief. He asked to see
wife, whom he had hitherto refused to see, took
supper with her in the presence of the chaplain,
and was formally reconciled. He spoke to her very
sensibly, and advised her, if she should obtain a
pardon, not to go back to her old home, because she
would be poiatcd at. When the time came for
setting out for the place of execution, he was allowed
to change the prison dress for his own clothes. no
picked out the worst for his own wear, and put
aside the others, saying they were for his wife. At
eleven o'clock he left the Bourg prison in a cart,
spread with straw, and, accompanied by the chap-
lain and two gendarmes, travelled through the dead
of the night, arriving at Montluel at four in
morning. During the journey his conversation
turned upon the most trivial subjects. He calculated
distances, spoke a good deal of his furniture, and
said that somebody at Dagueux, whose name.ho
mentioned, owed him several days' work, which
he reckoned up as amounting to 27f. On obser-
ving the crowd as he passed through Chalaniont!
he said, " They are very curious to see me die.
On arriving at Montluel he was placed in a
room prepared for him at the Hotel de Ville,
the lock-up house being out of order. His first
request was to have some fire to warm his
feet. A cup of coffee and a glass of sherry were
then given him, which he sipped with much relish,
taking especial care to melt the sugar. On the
cure of Montluel being presented to him, he said
" I know I am very guilty for having followed bad
advice, but I pay for others." After this he wao
alone for nearly an hour and a half with the cure
and the chaplain, and whatever confession be made
must have been at this interview. At six o'clock
the justice of the peace who had arrested him, and
who was charged with the direction of the execu-
tion, informed the two priests that the hour wao
approaching. He afterwards pressed Dumollard
with many questions, urging him to make a full
confession, but the latter replied that he had no-
thing more to say, and that if he had bad all
declaration to make he should not have waited for
that echeance—a mercantile term, signifying the
moment at which a bill is due. He repeated fre-
quently, " I pay for others." He remained quite
firm until the executioners made the fatal toilette.
Then it was observed that his nerves seemed to fail
him a little. He, however, insisted on walking to
the scaffold, although a carriage was in readiness.
His waistcoat was thrown over his shoulders to
keep him warm. He mounted the steps of tll°
scaffold with assistance, embraced the chaplain,
helped the executioner to take off his coat, and--all
was over. According to one Account there were
shouts resembling hurrahs among the crowd.
Dumollard's head was sent to the Medical School
of Lyons.

SIGNOR GAVAZZI.—A letter has just been re'
ceived from Signor Gavazzi by the Rev. W. Owen, author
of the " Work of God in Italy," dated Florence, March
in which the writer states that he had just hired a hall ill
Florence for preaching daily during Lent. The writer
says—" Next Sunday I shall renew my daily evangolicei
services and sermons. The Roman Catholic Lent preachol
have already commenced a crusade against Protestantiso
in Italy."
