A melancholy spectacle was witnessed on Tuesday
morning, in a field neur Long (loran. Two hogs,
one apparently seven, the other ten years of age, de-
cently dressed, with their school hooks, were disco•
rered lying in a field, the one senseless, and the other
dead. They were carried to the hosts.. of David Dreg-

pily without effect. Their names were Sinclair an
Fisher. It appeared they had left Glasgow alma

was not sensible of what passed, till restored by the

On Fri-lay morning last, about half-past nine
o'clock, the tire unfortunate erineinlls rontlenttivel at
our last Assixos suffered the most ignominious punish-
ment which the laws of our country inflict : they were
publirly deprived of life upon a scaffold, as a warning
to others, if detected in crimes of so wicked a descrip-
tion. lVe very ntivh doubt, however, whether such a
sacrifice will hr attended with the 4ksirell effer t ; as,
upon this orcasion, we lament to say, that marry of
those who witnessed the execution, instead of leaving
the town proiterly impressed with the awful scene,
contincterl themselves in a manner the must unbecoming.
and left hilt a faint hope upon our minds, that even
the severity of the laps, when thus carried into effeet,
would ensure the reformation of mankind. The town
was filled, from the time of the execution until the
evening, with a greater number of the labouring class,
of both s .x es, than we have witnessed for many years ;
and we lament to add, that their conduct was the
twist disgraceful, the streets being literally obstructed
in the evening, by their drunken and otherwise de-
bauched conduct.--(Chelon.for d C'hromiele.)
