The Execution OF Amos Northrop.

This unfortunate man suffered the penalty of
the law, on Friday of last week, in the village Of
White Plans. There were about 1000 persons as
sembled in the vicinity of the courthouse, to
witness the tragic scene, but many were doomed
to disappointment. The gallows, erected In the
morning in front Of the prisoners cell, consisted
ground. On either side OF the platform were two
upright posts, securely braced, and a cross piece
extending from one 10 the other, about ten feet
above the platform. From the centre of that
cross-plece hung the fatal rope About 200 persons
were assembled in the yard.
At a quarter-past 2 O'Clock, the wretched cul-
prit, preceded by the sheriff, marched into the
yard. With an untalterlng step he placed himself
upon the platform, and seated himself in chair,
clothed IN the habiliments Of the grave, with the
halter around his neck. The attending clergy
man addressed the Throne of Grace, invoking the
Divine blessing inasmuchsas he had confessed his
fault and repented himself OF the same, and ac-
cepted the oilers OF salvation, that he might also
be accepted OF Him in that world to which he
was Fastening.
The wretched man seemed to be m uch affected
during the delivery OF the prayer, and slight
convulsive tremor was visible
He rose from the chair with pale countenance.
His arms, at the elbow, were pnoned to his side,
and his hands were nearly purple. He was a
large, heavy man, and, during his confinement,
accumulated mass of flesh that must have In
creased his weight TO more than 200 pounds. lie
