The EKECUnoN OF CARTER AND PARKE.-
A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser
gives the following account of the execution
Of these two men, which we briefly noticed
/ yesterday
The clergy of the different denominations
have visited them, and among them Rev. Mr..
Castner, Of Mansfield, who was their pastor,
and who performed the ceremony at both their
marriages. 1t is said that he was waverinp as
TO their guilt TIL Parke asked him in one of
the interviews, 'can man go happily to hearen

other questions of similar nature. They fire.
quently asserted their innocence, and Parke
seemed TO entertain a hope till the last that, as
he said, the guilty person would come forward
and tree him by confession.
/ Carter requested Sheriff Britain "to inter-
cede, to have their bodies delivered to a person
who would carry them to his fathers house,
which was granted. On Thursday Parkc was
baptized by the Rev. Mr.. Clark, of the Presby-
terrain, assisted by Mr.. Lannng of the Metho-
dist Church in Bevdcre. His wife and child
rem spent most of the day with him and took a
final farewell. Carriers family took their final
leave on Wednesday.
They both appear penitent for their past
sins, and profess hope of forgiveness, but per-

were chiefly occupied during the night and
morning with the clergy.
At 10 o'clock precisely the prisoners came
from their cells, in the habiliments of the occa
sion: Carter walking ahead with person on
each side, and Parke following, attended by
officers, clergy, &c. Both appeared deeply az
tected, and when upon the stage wept Rev.
Mr. Clark invoked the divine blessing upon
| them in short but exceedingly touching and
appropriate prayer; when they took leave Of
the persons on the platform, and the sentence
of the law was solemnly executed.
They both protested their innocence to the
last, and while upon the scatfod Carter, being
asked by MIR. Clemson, who was one Of their
counsel at the trial, what he had to say now
that he was going to eternity, answered by de-
claring himself innocent in the most emphatic
manner, adding 81 know nothing about this
murder whatever: ! die innocent and mar
tyr to pubic prejudice" 1oa similar question
Parke made similar reply-that he was per-
fectly innocent and knew nothing of the muir
der, and believed his friends and all the family
innocent; he never heard any Of them wish
Cashiers or John Parke's death. The public
here has nevertheless no doubt OF their gult
and the Justice of their doom; and there is lust
| reason to believe that they have gone TO their
final account without repentance. The enclo-
sure and the prison were guarded by the militia
ny, though nothing like disturbance appeared.
DUTcH BULL. An honest Dutch farmer thus
writes to the Secretary of the Massachusetts
county Agricultural Society: "Gentlemen, you
will have the goodness to enter me on your list
of cattle for Il bull"
"Mislike me not, for my complexion-the
Furnished livery of the sun" Is a quotation
which may be frequently used nowadays, by
beaux and bellies returning from the watering
places.

SAM Sticks IDEA OF Coop WIFE. She
hadn't no ear for music, Sam, but she had a
