Execution Of a Boy.
s4lega71dria, L., August, 27-The execu-
tiss Of tile boy Frank, for the murder Of Rev J.
$. ~ gems, took place Friday last, the 24th
It Strange 10 say that the majority Of The
clgzFfsol Alexandria, and, 10 fact. the inbabi-
taatsAll round, were anxious 10 see him exc
cUle8 and on the fatal day when it came to
pas, there was not dozen people there Some
dryFe iorty miles TO witness this painful drama,
but be was erected and burned by the time they
eatpe to Alexandra. On the day before he
wss called to face death, some gentlemen visit
edsbiul, and propounded questions TO him; but
his answers were, and could be- no other than
childish. He was believe only ten years old.
TIE gentlemen told him the Sheriff was 10 hang
h5naon the next morning-and asked him what
hethdnght oft. and whether be had made his
peace ewith God, aud why he did not pray p
Hg answer Was-''I have been hung manv@a
tRe,p He was playing al the time 10 the Jail,
meyer once thinking death was snon TO claim
hiss.as bis victim. To show you how a child's
nnihd ranges when about to de, | will mention
that, when upon the ScaGold, he begged 10 br
permitted to pfay-which was granted-and
ttlsn he commenced TO cry Oh what hor

;Thp Executive Committee of the Camden
and IAnboy Railroad Go,Rpany have published
ia.ihe Trenton ,4aaericaar September 18th,
report on the late 5B3gEsstsgton casualty. The
main points are that gnIation relative to
traias waiting ceftai sfFe and then advanc-
lias, MAS a salutary 6nts billing the conductor
no 9lkpedite his train riths4iizAanger of collision
w. r. mnassibie TO dtsxise nleans To- protect4
trains from snqdpn aud Unforeseen accidrnts-
that "in all particulars the law Of the State
and the regulations Of the Company were fully
complied with by these agents and employees
having charge of the trains the 29th Au-
gust" and ia a word that ''the proper lookout
on the part OF the brakesman, conductor and
engineer, was observed the speed was usual
and lawful the warning whistle was sounded,
and all due diligence, vigilence and Precau-
ton were studiously and scruPulously Praet!s-
ed"
The company make out a strong case in their
behalf, as connected with the late dreadful catas-
trophe and we cannot see how II can be well
got over, whatever may be their responsible
ties for the safe conveyance of their passengers.
The accident, altogether, was one OF those ex-
traordinary events that is wholly unforeseen and
unavoidable
Had We room at orr command, at this writ
ing, we should make larger reference 10 de-
fence that seems 10 be well sustained by the ev-
idence adduced at the Coroner's inquest. So
far as this or any other company IS concerned,
an accident, similar in character, II BOT in re-
suits, might every day occur, If there were pee
pie toolbardy en0ugjsto run their yehIces INTO
the very Jaws of death No precautlon, COM
patbe with the proper conveyance OF paSsen-
gers on railroad, could guard against such
perfect recklrssnesS on the part OF individuals
who in the very face OF danger, will dash up
on railroad tracks at the rate otten miles an
hour. All the engineers, conductors, and
brakesmen in the world could not guard 4 tram
against it, SIMPLY because 1t is an lnpoSS5lliy.
The moment we have no more DR.. Hennkens,
from that moment similar accidents cannot oc-
cur. Let all sides be heard, for, 'Fair play Is
