At 9ls-4A NJ. the Provost Marshal

AT y I3-4 A. Nj. the Provost Marshal,
the executioners and some others informed
Mr.. Decoigne, that the hour had arrived
to march 10 the scaifold. I am ready"
said the sufferer, and the next minute he
was proceeding with a firm and resolute
step TO the gallows, which this time TO gra-
tify the eyes and wishes Of greater num-
Der Of sangunary loyaists, was erected
over the wall, which encrcled the jail,
and in such a situation that il could be
seen at great distance.
The stairs TO the scatTold were steep and
difficult OF access-Mr. Decoigne however
took the lead of his companions and arrived
on the platform, with an agility which
surprised all the spectators. The street
had been barricaded at the lower end Of the
Jail wall, so as to stop all the farmers who
were coming from the north to the mar
ket But it was in vain; they preferred
returning home, without selling their pro-
duce, rather than witness such horrible
and humiliating spectacle--ihat of seeing
their countrymen butchered for having as
serted their rights.
Mr.. Decoigne spoke few minutes TO
the assembled multitude with firm and
unaltered voice. The tory papers in
Montreal pretend that he had ncknow-
ged his political errors, but we know from
undoubted authority that there was no
such acknowledgement on Mr.. Decoigne's
part. His discourse was mere y on religi-
Gus duties and nothing else. AS soon as
he had finished, the five sufferers took
their respective places and the next mo-
ment they were numbered among the
Martyrs of Liberty. Mr.. Decoigne's suf
lerings were apparently very short. His
body was delivered over to his friends
who kept it one day and then inferred it in
the Catholic burying ground OF the City OF
Montreal. Mr.. Decoigne was 90 years,
three months and 10 days old. He was a
gentleman Of very pleasant manners anC
had received complete, classical educa-
ton. He was nearly feet in height, hi'
complexion rather lair--grey eyes and
curled hair. His features were very reg
uar.
Such was the victim that the cruel Col
borne sacrificed to the sanguinary torie
of Lower Canada. How long will thu
people of that province allow tho murder
of such men.
Mr.. Decoigne left a young widow will
two small iatherless children completed,
destitute all his property having beef
pIundered and his dwelling house so mucl
damaged as to be wholly useless.

have been commissioned as Notary IN
1884, he delayed sometime before he quail
fed hiulself 10 act as such.
His political career began in 1886, when
on the alst of June, he attended public
meeting Of the Radicals Of Napierville, to
constitute Branch Of the Provincial Re-
form \ ssociation. His education, talents
and political feelings were so well known
that he was named the Corresponding Sc
