The murderer, it appears, flew to the glass for
courage to enable him to perform the act which he
had deliberately planned. But for the stimulus of
intoxicating drinks, conscience might not have been
blunted, and repentance might have come ere it was
yet too late to arrest the contamination of the bloody
deed. In view of these facts, what solemn and

frontiers, and were enabled to push forward SO as TO
meet the grass somewhere in the vicinity of this
place, which gave them four weeks the advantage
over those who waited for grass on the Missouri:
and besides this, the roads this Spring have been

EXECUTION AND CONFESSION
OF DANIEL. II. PEARSON,

The execution of Daniel H. Pearson, for the will
full murder at Wilmington, of his wife and two inno-
cent children, took place in the jail yard at East Cam
bridge Friday forenoon, in presence of about four
hundred persons. As early eight O'Clock, persons
began to wend their way to the streets in the imme-
date vicinity Of the JAIL and notwithstanding the fact
was generally known, that the gallows could not be
seen from from any point whatever, excepting from
the Jail, the House of Correction and the jail yard,
people continued to gather until the crowd outside
numbered several hundred souls. The conduct of
the mob in making loud outcries, and all sorts of
noises, was disgraceiul in the extreme and more re-
sembed that of multitude gathered to witness some
novel exhibition, than that Of assemblage to wit
ness fellow-being launched into eternity.
The father-in-law, and daughter of Pearson, visit
ed him in his cell in the morning and had an affecting
interview. He kissed them both, and they parted
forever, amid flood of tears.
The exercises commenced by singing hymn,
which was read by Rev. MIR Merrill. Father Taylor
then addressed the Throne of Grace in deeply SOL
emn and fervent manner; appropriate selections from
the Scriptures were read by Rev. MIR Merrill
Father Taylor then said that Pearson blamed no
one-he took all upon his own head. He believed
him to be an altered man. He (Pearson) had de-
clared to him fifty times, and he did not know but
he might say hundred times, that his wife never
gave him any cause, either directly indirectly.
She was good woman, and he alone to blame.
The prisoners arms and wrists were then bound
with cords and he was led to the scatfold.
At the conclusion of the reading of the warrant his
legs were firmly bound with cords after which, Pear
son, in calm, yet somewhat subdued tone of voice,
spoke substantially as follows
81 should like to say a word. Be prepared to die.
My friends, seek salvation. This death is the hap
pest to die Of any, if only prepared to die. hope
and trust in God, and that am going to be with Him
In Heaven. | Recommend YOU all to the HovWord
of God, and pray that we may all meet in Heaven .
The rope was then adjusted and at eighteen min
utes past 10 O'Clock the drop fell and the spirit CT
the murderer was sent almost instantly into the pre-
sence Of its God
The following is the confession ofDanel H. Pear
son, voluntarily made to Father Taylor and Rev.
