1--WE have the melancholy duty to perform
OF announcing the death Of Hon. PETER
SHiDELER, who departed this life at his res
ldenee, about three miles south east of Eaton,
on Saturday last, after an illness of several
weeks, of Flux. Judge SHDELER was one of
our most prominent and influential citizens,
and his loss will be severely felt. An honest
man, he was :'the noblest work of God."-
He lived beloved, and died regretted by all
who knew him. We expect an obituary from
one who knew him long and we'll, therefore,
shall close this brief notice, desplyregrettiag
that, the nobleSt and best of earth are so soon
called away.

According to previous arrangement and an
nouncement, a u number of the anti. Nebraska
Fusion spirits Of Preble county assembled in
Eaton on Friday last, TO the number of two
OF three hundred, for The purpose of hearing
speeches, making nominations for County of.
hces' and sundry other grave and important
matters. The masses met, appointed officers
and q committee on resolutions, and adjourn
ed lor dinner and consultation.
Atone o'clock they came together a motley
crew, and the resolution committee reported
two or three resolves laudatory of LEWIS D..
CAMPBELL, (Which we intend to pub
lish') and resolved it was inerpedient 10
make nominations for County Officers! Here
was a dilemma! The Free Soil, trading poll
%ticianS, had been induced by In. Clique to be-
lieve that, nominations sanctioned by the au-
thority of a Mass Meeting, would be all pow
erful and sweep the county upon a breeze oil
popular triumph, but the masses were not
ready to enter into the contemplated bargain
and sale, and no nominations were made,-
Then might have been seen depicted upon The
countenances of The Free Sellers disappoint-
ment and shagrin! Some left the 'tMass
MeetIng' in a rage, declaring that ait was an
old line Wing concern, got up for the purpose
OF deceiving the Free Soilers," and asserting
that such proceedings would not gull the Free
Soil party! Confusion rel:ned supreme in the
minds of the disappointed, interested few,
while triumph was visible in the faces of old
line whigs who were determined that no ras-
tolty should be perpetrated then and there, if
they could prevent it, and most gloriously did
they succeed. Speeches were made by some
OF our West Elkton friends in favor of nomi-
nations, but all awaited not, for the masses of

high, stoutly built, with broad, heavy Shout
derS. His face was peculiarly forbidding,-
With a low buIbroad forehead, small, pig-lik
eyes, a nose of immense size, he presented, in
a striking manner, the predominating express
sion of the animal. A brutal nature seemed
to govern all his actions, IS well as a total
want OF all moral intelligence. That such a
monster could exist in a community like ours,
and in this enlightened sge, would seem I'M
probable, but we had the strongest evidences
Of the fact, the last Of which was the expiation
ofa norton Of bis crimes on the scafIOld, which
we have just witnessed.
PRIVATE EXECUTION.
This is the first we ever beheld, but it i'm
pressed us as being far more terrible than one
in the presence of thousands; amid all the dis
play of drums beating, colors flying, and all
the ''pomp and circumstance, oil the assembled
multitude. If legal reiribution must demand
the life Of the offender, let it be done in the
gloom and shade of dungeon vault, and be
witnessed alone by those. appointed by law
10 perform the Office.
THE FINALE.
Francis Dick has sxpiated his crimes, as far
as could be done on earth. What is TO be done
is before another tribunal. His struggle on the
gallowS in rendering up his life was severe, al
though by all those who examined, it was said
his neck was broken. He drew up his feet,
and bis breast heaved deeply several minutes
after his fall. The cap drawn over his face,
prevented that CHASTITY spectacle from being
visible. He was taken from the gallows and
deposited in his coffin at a quarter 10 II A. VI.
having hung suspended thirty minutes, and
was pronounced 'dead, dead, dead" Weun-
derStood that the body would be handed over
TO the Catholic priest for intSTment, who would
afford all ceremonies OF the church ritual. 1t
is believed that none of his family were pres
ent, and u. 10 The last he positively refused TO
see his vile. Thus has Francis Dick persisted
in the 35th year Of ibis age, aftel committing
enormitisS such as seldom fall 10 the lot Of
journalists to record, 10 fill a murderers grave.
and leaving no human creature to deplore his
memory.

decision was carried into effect, and an az
