vengeance, as was manifested IN relation to Jud-

the Presbyterian Church and Rev. DR.. Howell and
DIR. Edgar otlicated. Before he died he exclaimed
land they were the fist words he spoke after re-
ceiving the wound) 81 forgive Judson and every
body in the world" His wife was present when
he expired and for some three hours before. She
asked him if he knew herto which he replied
"yes--et me sleep" This was all he said to her.
She seemed much grieved, but no one has any SYM
pathy for her. She is ruined, and an outcast from
society. May God have mercy upon them all.
