The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1850-01-16

Diego proceeded, the former barefooted, to the
wilds of the upper province, that they might be
removed as far as possible from the scene of his
crime. Life, for Don Manuel, had no hope but
that of obtaining, by the most rigid penance, a
forgiveness of his sins, and reunion, beyond
this vale of sorrows, with those two beings whose
remembrance still agonized his recollection. He
assumed the garb in which he has always been
seen, and all the wants which his rifle could not
supply, have been provided for by the ever faith
full Diego The life he led in the wilderness
was one of extreme suffering. During all that
period his bed has been the cold and damp earth
while no shelter protected him from the bleak
storm. Except on the nights when he came to
the house of Diego for the purpose of confessing
to the priest, and receiving dissolution from his
lips, he held no converse with his species; The
dying scene ghich have this day witnessed,
will not now attempt to describc-it is too af-
fecting. Suffice it to say, that he died penitent
with an humble hope of pardon, and with an
earnest request that you would permit his poor
remains to sleep in consecrated ground.'
The good old priest ended. The Spectre Hun
ter was no longer an object of terror, and his re-
mains were inferred under the shade of the large
willow which, till within the last twenty years,
hung its weeping head in the cemetery of our CT
ty. Many tear has been shed over his ashes
while listening to his melancholy tale; and many
requium has been sung in the strains of his
native language, by soft-eycd damsels, as they
flung upon his grave the earliest blossoms of
Spring.

Professor Webster this morning in the yard, of the

Direc tions concerning his Body.

Professor Webster, few days since, made TO-
guest that his body should be disposed oin the follow
ing manner When his body was cut down from the
galows, ne desired that it should Immediately be
carried to the cell lately occupied by him-that
should there remain, unseen by any vsters when he
wished that the corpse might be taken out quietly and
secretly, and conveyed to the residence Of his family
in Cambridge. Furthermore, he wished his body to
be placed in mahogany coffin which he supposed
would be furnished by his friends and not in one Of
cheap pine, such as is usually furnished by the au-
thorities The funeral ceremonies he desired, should
take place on Sunday. Thus will be seen that he
cody de'iberated his approaching dissolution.
