A Day OF DooM.-This day Saul and
Hewlett, two Of the three young men con.
victed Of murder while engaged in robbing
vessels, will suffer the extreme penalty Of
Death BY Hanging. There Is no hope that
further mercy will be shown them by man.
Their career, which began in defiance Of
parental authority, wos prosecuted through
Intemperance, Lewdness and Revelry, I'M
ill il found its natural contamination in Rob-
berry and Murder. Not that they clearly in
tended TO imbrue their hands in blood, but
having set out to rob with a weapon Of death
in their hands, they were tempted to use IL
in solf-preservation from detection and ar.
rest; and the result was Death-frst Of an
innocent victim; to-day Of themselves
Here is a lesson which many Of our City's
youth, who are fast entering upon the reck-
less pursuit of what they fancy Pleasure
through the dark and devious ways Of what
Morality deemsVice and God forbids as Sin,
ought to ponder very deeply. But will

The young men, aged 10 and 20, were
executed agreeably to their sentence, while
the sentence of Johnson, the third young
man implicated, was commuted to imprison-
ment for life. Baxter, the man murdered,
was LEFT TO watch a vessel the young men
attempted to rob, and upon his giving the
alarm they turned upon him and took his
life. All the murderers had relatives in the
city, and the N. Y. Times thus describes
the affecting scene the day before their ex-
e%cution. "The sisters of Johnson visited
him, and upon receiving the cheering intel
~iigence of their brothers sentence being
COMMITTED, they went away with light
hearts. The aged mother, three brothers,
two sisters, and sisters-in law, of Hewlett,
were In his cell the entire afternoon, as
were also the old mother and two sisters of
Saul,G when taking their farewell leaves of
the doomed men, the scenes were heart
rending. They were weeping bitter y, and
without cessation and one of Saurs broken
hearted sisters tainted, and fell al the feet
of the condemned brother, and the mother
lnourned with appeals to God for her sons
forgiveness. The relations of these two
unhappy men finally bid them a last adieu
and farewell forever, ard left the cells in the
evening, greatly distressed in body and
mind.

This celebrated medicine, skilfully composed as it

alleviated by an external remedy. Its superiority
over all other Liniments is proven by the miraculous
cures it performs, and by the great and constantly in

past year more than Three Millions IF Bottles, and
there can be but few persons found who do not hestow
upon it the highest prai; 20 for the rare virtues it pos
sesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the creation Of the

Progress.-The farm Of Jacob Pence, de-
ceased, in Greenfield township, was sold last
week by his executor. 1t contains over two
hundred acres and is situated about seven
miles north of Lancaster. There was spir-
tied bidding, but it was at last knocked down
to John T. Brasee, Esq, for a small fraction
under fifty dollars per acre. We doubt very
much whether it could have been sold three
years since for much over thirty dollars, and
the advance is an indication of the present
prosperous condition Of the county and Of
the faith which our citizens have in future
progress. This is only one out ormany 9th.
