Execution Of a Boy.

ALEXANDRIA, La, Aug. ~.
The execution of the boy Frank, for the
murder of j. J. Wecms, took place on Fri
day last, the Oath inst. It's strange to say
that the majority of the citizens of Alexan-
dria, and, in fact, the inhabitants all around,
were anxious to see him executed; md on the
fatal day, when it cime to pass, there were
not a dozen people there. Some rode forty
miles to witness this painful drama, but he
was executed and buried before they came
to Alexandria. On the day before he was
called to face death, some gentlemen visited
hi II and propounded questions to him; but
his manners were, and could be no other than
childish. lie was baliev only ten years
Old. The gentleman told him the Sheriff
was to han him on tie next morning, and
asked him what he had thought of it, and
whether he had made his peace with God,
and why he did not pray? His answer was,
Il have been hung many time!' He wHs,
at the time, amusing himself with some mar
bles which he had in his cell. He was play
ing all the time in Jail, never once thinking
that death was soon to claim him as bis
victim. To show you how a chlld's mind
ranges when about to die, will mention
that, when he was upon the scnffold, he beg
ged to BIO permitted to pray-which was
granted-and then he commneced to cry! =
Oh, what horrible spht it was?
