Execution of Young.

The murder Young, whose desperat
attempt at suicide, in prison, we have
heretofore noticed, was executed IN New
Orleans on Friday of last wsek. The
prisoner, arrayed in white robe emerged
from his cell at 10 o'clock. lie was &C
companed by the hangmsn, disguised In
a red calico frock d hideous black mask.
Young took his seat upon the ga! lows,
tie hangman adjust theeord around his
neck, and the death warrant was read ;
Immediately after which the rope was cut.
The Delta thus relates the scene that fol-
lowed:
So soon as the drop fell, the wounds in
his mel were opened afresh and the blood
flowed forth freely, presenting horrible
sight. The knot of the rope caught him
directly under the chin, throwing his head
back, and he lived for some time, sirng-
yling most desperately, and no doubt sui
ferring greatly, for the cash in his throat
was drawing widely open; and the wind
pipe having been severed, the wind came
forth from it, ever and anon, with a noise
that resembled the blowing out of steam
boat boiler. After hanging about fifteen
minutes, Or. Sabastier pronounced him
dead, and his body was cut down and
placed in a rough coffin, and soon the
ghastly, lifeless form of the child slayer
was forever hid from mortal gaze.
Young made no speech on the scafold;
all he had 10 say was to his spiritual
advisers, two reverend German gentlemen,
who have been almost constantly in COM
pany with him during The last week. He
told them he used 10 drink a good deal,
and when he got drunk he was in the hab-
it Of furnishing the liuIe child, but did not
know what means ofpunishment were that
he was accustomed 10 resort to. He SAID
that while the child was very hungry and
thirsty, it had come across bottle ot wills
key in the house and drank the whole of
it, which caused lis death. His last re-
quest was that the reverend gentleman
should pray for him.
Young was born in Halter, Prussia,
where he has father, six brothers and
three sisters. lie received, as every child
in Prussia does, u good common school
education. He came TO the United States
about three years age.

IL IF the statements we see in many OF lhe
papers, ard the names of many highly rcsp2ct1-
bic physicians ard citizens Of high standing AT
tached to certificates of the good effects OF a

it is the best external remedy ever discovered by
the medical faculty; and that it is certain cure

F,psr News THRouau FROM ST.. LOUIS

FIRST NEWS HRopaH fh"n -
ii &,ow Drift Eighteen Miles Long
and Eight Feet Hgh.--A party OF four
gentlemen who left ST. Louis for this
place on the morning of Sunday, tie 2lsl
INST. on the Chicago and Mississippi
Railroad, reached this city on yesterday
morning, having been nine days en- route
They were very curious looking OBJ
iecls when arrived here, having been eX-
posed for the greater part Of tbs time 10
The fury of the snow storms which had
been raging during the last ten days and
were immediately carried 10 the Daguer-
rean Gallery of William Hesler, where
portraits of them were taken in all their
glory and frost. These gentlemen de-
scribe the journey they have just accom-
pIlshed and The perils which they have
encountered, with great yes! and plquan-
Icy.
The train in which they left Alton was
forced to stop, by the snow, at or near
Lexington, a station on the Z. d NJ. II.
R., few miles this side Of Bloomington.
Here they procured sleigh with sixteen
horses, and started on foot on the way
for this city. The distance is some 40
n9:.;;iies, and they had to make their own
roads. They passed along the line of the
Railroad most Of the way, and saw the
condition in which the storm had placed
lit. Ii is terrible. From Lexington to
some nine miles this side of Pontiac, The
drifts are immense and apparently lnsur-
mountable; except by the slow and te-
dious process of pick-axe and shovel, the
force of the wind having packed the snow
and rendered ii as hard as ice.
The bank in which the two trains from
this city are stuck, is altogether about
eighteen miles long, varying IN depth
from three to eight feet. At either end
of il were to be seen locomotives which
have made frantic attempts to break through
and which, frozen fast, are covered entire
" up by snow, their smoke stacks only
sticking out to show where they are.
These gentlemen think that there IS no
probability of the road being opened this
week. If not, what will become OF the
egisIature'--C Chicago Tribune Of Ved-
nesday.

MnsT IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.--We
have private advices from Havana up to
the 2 ST instant, conveying to us positive
intelligence Of the existence Of intense ex-
element throughout The island, arising
from the action of the Cortes in Madrid
upon the question of the sale of the island
to the United States. Secret meetings
are again taking place all over the island,
and thousands who heretofore were ar
rayed against the revolutionary cause bave
become identified with 1t, in the belief
that there is now no other hope of escap-
ing from Spanish domination but in sue
cessful revolution. The best informed
persons in the city Of Havana, as well as
in Washington city, are now momentarily
expecting a more serious outbreak TO oc-
cur-in Cuba than ever before. ~ GShiRg-

Cost OF THE WAR,--The leading
English Journal COMPLAIN bitterly Of the
cos. o! the war. The London Times
gives the total expenses for twelve months,
at eighty millions Of dollars. For the
present year the expenditure will he still
greater, unless peace shall be declared.
The calculation is that at least one humid
red millions will be necessary, and with
the best view of the subject, at least fifty
millions of dollars must be raised annu-
ally, as long as the wal may last, either
by an appeal to the money market, or by
doubling the rates npon the taxpayers.

A well known clergyman in Albany
was called upon in great haste one night
last week TO perform marriage ceremony,
and hurrylng on his garments as fast as
possible. he proceeded to the place ap-
pointed, where he found that haste was
necessary, sure enough, or the midwife
would have TO perform her delicate duties
in advance. With an alacrity that does
him great credit. that Rev. gentleman
entwined the silken bands OF matrimony
around the loving couple. and then made
room for the accoucher, who soon ushered
into breathing world a httle pledge of af-
lection, possessing all the rights of leglti-
macy. Ii was a close fit between the 5.
NJ, ID. d. and NJ. D., but the Rev. gen.
tleman came out little ahead.
