When about leaving the tavern, at Gen. terviIle, on the night of the murder, Hooe says he advised Simpson that he had bet
 ter leave his money. behind, ,as they werego-
 ing to a ahouseof i'll fame, where itmight be
 lost; Simpson accordingly took out his pocket book with his money, which was
 put into hooe's valice, {they then sleeping III \. the same room. They next departed Ior.a house o1 the kind above referred to. and which Hooe told Simpson he knew about though none such was in the direc- ton they pursued. Hooe says that when they arrived at the spot where the murder was committed, he asked Simpson if he ] would go before as his eyes were very weak, and he could not see. his way very clearly. Simpson accordingly complied
 and Hooestook out his pistol and shot him
 in the back. Hooe says that Simpson gave
 most dreadful shriek, which he should re-
 collect were he to live thousend years
 and ran to a distance of about four yards
 i've think and fell. Hooe walked up to him and called to him by his name-but he
 made no answer-he was dead. .-He says lie heard tho blood gurgling inside of Simp- son's body from the perforation of the shot,
 as distinctly as if from bottle. With a fit of desperation which came over him,
 for which he cannot account, he then inflic- ted the wounds upon the body with every
 possible expedifion- and immediately ran
 with all his might back to the tavern. a
 He did not visit the body again as has been freguently stated. He returned to Leesburg the next morning. 2, T-
 The circumstance that but part of Simp- sons money was found with Hooe was sup- posedto be an evidence that there must have been an accomplice in the, murders. Hooe, however, says that the other part of the money had been aleft,by Simpson in the hands of person in Cenferville for some purpose, and whose receipt for the same
 was in the pocket book. He says he burnt the pocket book and receipt upon his arri- val at Leesbufg..
 AIr. Burch in his sermon, related that the criminal brought himself to this untine- ly end by cards. That, in 1928, ,when he left Centreyille where he was living, he knew but little of cards. That he began his career by merely playing for nuts and cakes, and soon for money, continuing thus by degrees, until he had got into aregular practice, which had led to his present situ- ation. :------. 3s. .,s s;. s M,

 Our casual attendance at the interment of Gen, Foy, and a subsequent visit on a day more favourable for observation, s6or- ded us full opportunity of examining the cemetery of Pere La Chaise, whicn is the great repository of dead at Paris, and re- fleets infinite credit upon the city, S well as upon the character of kthe French peo- pie. In all respects it very far surpasses any thing of the knd. | have ever seen,and the design strongly, recommends itself to
 the imitation of all great cities. Were it possible for the inhabitants of New-Y York, en nsasse, to pay a single visit to this cenl- hetery, am persuaded they would at once
 surrender every lingering prejudice, and be
 unanimously in favor of adopting a similar plan for besides possessing all the conye- niences of sepultre, on very moderate terms, a bnrying- ground, which in narrow enclosures and amidst crowded popula- ton is generally repulsive object, ,hash here
 become great monument for national tasteand national feeling, inviting the stran-
 ger as well as the citizen ,who is attracted by more sacred ties, to resort frequently
 to it's rural, sequestered and consecrated l walks, where the body is refreshed by a pure air., the mind meets with themes for serious meditation, and the heart cannctfail to be improved. ss.s sss- i.s,,s. sss T.'. x
 But instead of expressing my.own opin- ions, will attempt concise description, leaving my readers to judge for themselves.
 Pore La Chaise is in the eastern suburbs of Paris, situated upon the declivity of Mont
 Louis, about three miles from the centre of the city. Its appellation is derived from a Jesait of the same name, who was confes-
 sor to Louis XIV. and at ohe time presi-
 ded over the ecclesiastical affairs of France. r As recompense for his arduoHs services,
 his sovereign gave him this beautiful emi-
 hence, and built him a chateau near Its
 summit, which was once the seat of the, in-s lrigues of his powerful order. Its site is
 at present occupied hysa large and hand some chapel, approached by a lofty flight of steps, lighted at the top by dome, and srrmoufited with cross, forming con- sricuous obiectat1a a distance. The ediiice has recently been erected, and isadestitute | of any ornaments, or interesting associa- tions, other than those that have been
 named. a.s;S xsn eStsts sAs ~ K Tho cemetery itself was commenced in E1S04, under the auspices of Napoleon, and
 the superintendance of M. .Brongniart. Its
 location is charming, commanding full
 view of Paris and it's romantic environs. i The enclosure comprises an area of about TO acres, on surface so broken and di- :. Iyersifed, as to embrace great yariety of natural sseenery--reeks, hills, ana geep wales. IIsTnany places the accllyity is So Esteep, as to render terraces ana nignts oi steps necessary.

 EXECUTION OF VIM. F. IOOE.


 On Friday last, agreeably to sentence, Wm. F. Hooe, young man of about g years, suffered the punishment of death, near the court-house of Fairfax county, Va. for the murder of Wm. Simpson, in that county, on the night of the 4th of March, 1925. The ceremony could not have been more awfully impressive than it was. As late as breakfast time, there were not more than dozen strangers at the court house-nor did they begin to arrive until about 8 o'clock. Between II and liz, however, they had nearly ceased com ing. About 1000 were present. After the lapse of near half an hour, and at the conclusion of the religious performances, the iailer appeared with the keys of the jail 1; opened the door for the two attending cler- gymeIi, who entered in company with an officer. ItIwas but short interval ere the tailor again appeared and unlocked hadoor. "A feeling of an indiscribable charactof now prevailed in deathlike silence which reign ed, as the prisoners coming was waited for. | He moved with slow and cautious, but firm and apparently unconcerned step to the | cart, up into which he was conducted with the assistance ofa chair, by the clergymen'
