EXECUTION OF STRING.

PHILApELPHIA, June 10.
The execution of Arthur Spring occurred
at Il quarter after eleven O'Clock at the county
prison IN presence of about 500 persons.
The Rev. Messrs. Street, kensil and Alexan-
der took the adjoining cell ali night. The
prisoner slept about four hours; the rest OF
the night was spent in religious exercises.
Early this morning letter from Gov Bgler
was read to the prisoner, stating that Execu-
tive clenency would not be exercised in his
case. Spring repeated his protestation of in
nocence, and also of the innocence of his son.
but that he had brought the money and placed
it in his pocket.
On reaching the galows. hymn was sung
The Rev. Mr.. Street then asked him in
the most solemn manner whether he was not
guilty of the murder. He aswered, 'no, sir,
no, sir" On being asked whether he was
guilty of the murder OF Rink, he relied, 'no,
sir, never saw him in my lilc." A third
question was asked as to the innocence of his
son. He said he believed his son had nothing
more to do with it than he mad. A prayer
was made by the Rev. Mr.. Kcrsel, when the
rope was put on the neck of the convict.
Spring then re-asserted the innocence of his
son without any qualification. on.--Soon after
the drop fell and he died very easily, with but
a single contraction Of his legs.

The form of the old Judge was convulsed
with agony. He raised no, his head, but in a
smothered voice he faltered---'No, no my
child, in Gods name--no.'
She lifted the glttering goblet, and letting
it suddenly fall to the floor, it was dashed in a
thousand pieces. Many fearful eye watch
ed her movement, and instantaneously every
wine-glass was transferred to the marble ta-
ble on which II had been prepared. Then as
she looked at-the fragments of the crystal,
she turned to the company, saying, 'let no
friend hereafter, who loves me, tempt me to
peril my soul for wine. No frmer are the
everlasting hills than my resolve, God help

poison. And he :, whom have given my

and when after an hour he returned, and with
a more subdued manner took part in the en-
terteinment of the bridal guests, no one could
fail to read that he, too, had determined to

OBITUARY..

OF Consumption, on the lth inst, at her
fathers residence in Union Township, Mrs.
Martha Randolph, daughter of Wilson Allen.
The deceased was born in Virginia, that
state SO illustrioas for her great, SO DIS
tinguished for the talent she has produced.
She has tread the quie:er walks OF life,
quieter only because unshone upon by the
glare OF notoriety.
The following quotation would be as ex.
pressive of the sentiments she entertained in
her last days as any other.
Though walh through the valley of the
shadow of death, will fear no evil; for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me-" Calmly and sedately she
awaited the Ito herr welcome messenger of
death. She has gone down to the repose of
the tomb. Not at a time when the forests are
shedding their foliage, not at time when all
nature is deserted and drear," but at time
when the forests are robed in their martles of
vcrdant foliage; when all nature wears the
smiling feature of beauty and lovelness.
Earth has received again what belonged to
earth, and the spirit has returned unto God.
Under light June sun which she so much
loved, and the beauties and lesson of which,

The .Jollowing resolution we clip from the
proceedings of the Hartford Anti-Bib Con.
vention:-
"Resolued, That the doctrine of the Ameri,
can church and priesthood the Bible is
the word Of God, that whatever it contains
was given by divine inspiration, and that il
is the only rule of faith and practice-s SELF
evidently absurd, exceedingly injurious both
to the intellect and soul, highly pernicious in
its application, and stumbling block in the
way of human redemption"
Can it be possible that there are those in
the year 1863 who dare speak thus Of the
Holy Writings-who would deliberately ex-
tinguish that sublime light by which our an
cestors walked and worked, strong in the
faith that strict regard for its doctrines and
teachings was the only guide to Heaven!-
1t seems but too true that there are SUCH bur
we fervently hope'their work will be in vain
I'VE feel that it cannot be otherwise-we
feel that the same hand that protected it in
darker hour will be with it always.
Adopt that resolution and which way shall
we turn for direction! Extinguish the light
Of Revelation and how will our feet be gui.
ded! 1t must not be! We must preserve the
Bible, pure and unsulied. Let no one evel
presume to tear from us this Lares of oul
heart worship, for without it we know moi
how to live nor how to die. 1t was while
drinking in the lessons o: humility and simple
childlike faith taught by those scriptura
'bards sublime that the idea found utterance-

THE WHIG TICKET,

Last week we had hardly room to insert
the proceedings Of the whs meeting. We
have heard IRON various parts Of the County,
and we can truly say that we have not known
so general satisfaction since we have had
charge Of the Chronicle, as is expressed with
the present ticket. The impression is almost
universal among the wings, that they are
precisely the men that are needed, to effect
the reforms which the people require. 1t is
not necessary to particvlaiize, they are all
good men and true to the best interests Of the
country. They are men Of the people and
sympaihise with the interests of the masses.
That some should be disappointed, all
expected, but the meeting did what they
honestly thought best and every true Wing
will of course cheerfully submit to the wishes
Of the majority, though his individual prefer
ences in some particulars might have been
different.
With the exception OF senator and member
of the Board of Equalization, our ticket is now
full. Let the people go to work in earnest, to
secure its election. The state is sick of loco
focosm, and "Redeem the State is now the
watch-word. The fasee of "the new constitu-
ton in the hands Of its friends, is pronounced
by the people as the greatest humbug Of. the
age. They now want men who will go in
for paying off the State debt, instead of
collecting oppressive taxes TO squarder on

and Judicial officers,

Destructive FIRE,-Yesterday morning
I 10Th instl about one O'Clock, fire supposed
to be the work of hi incenGary, entirely con-
sumed the stable attached to BLACKS
TAVERN, corner of Main and Quincy streets,
together with an adjoining frame building,
formerly used as blacksmith shop by the
Messrs Charnock, but since their removal
used bv Mr.. Black as wash house. There
were several horses in the stable, two of which
perished The dwelingof Mr.. Ritz, Locksmith
and several other small buildings in the
neighborhood caught fire, and were con-
sideraJly damaged before they were extingu-
shed. One of the horses belonged to Mr..
Black, the other 70 man in Ohio.
A fire could not have been kindled in any
place in the city where it was more likely to
spread and produce terrible eonfiagratlon'
and sweep a square or more, and considering
the extreme dryness OF the buildings and the
hour at wich the stable was fired, it was
nothing but the sleepess vigilance of ouI
Firemen which prevented such result =
