 Minnie Myrtle describing the people she meets with in Saratoga, for the New York Times, draws the following portrait which we recognize as that of Dr.. Hall. pastor of the lst Congregational Church iu No,walk. An intimacy with the fa> .nlly from boy hood leads us 10 testify to it's truthfulness
 "If were to desctibe all the agree able people whish are to be met among so many. I could do nothing else, for they are the majority, and l nsyer yet found oue in whom their was not some- thing agreeable. But must tell how I have Iallen in love with one of the most delightful specimens of New England minister. whose hair IS white with the snows Of not quite three score and ten winters who has all the firm and un- compromising principle of his class, with none of lhe mock dignity or. peculiar manner that says ' Stand aside. l am holier than lhou." which some who wear his honors snd his titles assume. How often have wished that many were like unto him. for then not only in the pulpit but in the house. and by the way. would they recommend the hoiy and blessed religion which they preach. Some very good and wise people think it is "cyni> cal" and exceeding wicked 10 think. and above all to speak, that minister or a professor of religion can du wrong. Bu, l happen to think just the contrary. and am cure that not so much harm Is done by pointing out their errors as by pe,mil- ting their e,rors to pass as vir ues-by representing them as perfect because they ought to be perfect. and it is painful 'o think they are otherwise. But really, in all outward appearances, this good nm ister answers to my beaG ideal. and his children. who are gown up sons and daughters, reverence him in, way that is very beautiful to see. He has trained them with that rare and wonderful art which knows how to combine firmness with affection, and inspire respect and obedience without chilling the hearts nvel flawing fountain, and forbidding the most ohildlike familiarity and freedom of expression. His face is all beaming with kindlness, and he is always willing to listen to those who differ from Lim. and very often expresses himself convinced by those who ate not nearly so wise as he. He has two sons preparing to be ministers. and only hope they will be just like him"
 One way in which he has gained the affection and obedience of his children is by making them companions in his jour. neys, however short they were, thus in> troducing them to the world without the dangers which often are 50 fearfully re> alized by the young. Men are too apt now 10 make business an excuse for not associating with their families at home and abroad, and as result they find that their children before they become of age know more than their life time of expe- 5rience has taught them. particularly of that which might better be unknown.

-ExEcrTloN oF MICHAEL JsnNrNSs.- On Tuesday last, agreeab!y ,o the sen> ,ence of ,he Court, Michael Jennings the young Irlshman, who brmaly murdered Mrs. Esther Bradley, of North Haven, on the 24lh day of July, year ago. paid the GFfenure of hls crime, in the yard of ihe New Haven County Jail The tragicai occurrence it will be remembered look plaee on Sunday, while the rest or the family were absen, at chn, cl, aud under the clrcunsla noes of the most savage bars parity. So diabOlIcal were the facts giv : en in evidence on .he t.ial, and SD case> hardened was the murderer, that the late Legislature refused to llsien to any terms !"r the communication of the prisoners sen. lence--wbch was that of ihe death pen. slly.-
 The execution took place at 10 A. M Sheriff Parinelee was assisted in his off, cial duties, bv his Deputies L, P. Bryan oI this city; D. H, Carr, nf New Haven {; Edwin Wmster of Derby; SyIvanus Clarke, of Gu,lfnrd Reuben H. Way, of Meriden. The number of persons admi, ted into the yard as speciaiOrs, was abo,, 800. There wa' very little excilenen, outside and but very few visitors ou, of town. And though the " Greys" and !" Blues" were on duty, fortunately there Sas but li,lle occasion for their inierier ance 10 preserve order.
 Jennings was Roman Catholic. and was ianhfnlly attended in his las, mo ments by Father O'Brien, his spirin,al advlser. It is not known ihsl the cnlpri, made any confession, and though he died with the cruifix m his hand, no one fa miar with hs conduc' while in Prison had any faith ih lis genuine repentance. though towards ihe cI0se of his career. he manifested outward respect for rel- gious ordinances according to the Ro manish ritual Ills behaviour on the scaff,d was decorus, and he responded, tn the prayers of lhe Priest with appar. ent feeling. Sheriff ParmaIee was the last to address the d0omed man. and as he turned iO descend from the scatf,,ld. Jennings cried nui in agony-" GM,d bye oh dear Lord Je--." These were hls dying words. ihe last of which was cut short hy the fall of the drop.- After hanging abOni 25 miEuiex the 5Ody was taken down and delivered over ,o :he custody of his friends, by whom i, was committed io the grave>in the alier> noon. Thus perished young mar. in the morning of life f;r crime of the hlackes, GAe-ihe only reiribuii0n he could make for v,olaiin9 one of ns,nre's strongest safe guards-" thou shalt not kill." x
