-Erec,ation Of q Murderer.

GALENA, Jan. l9.---John J. Taylor, who was con-
victed or the murder of his wife, was executed this
afternoon About ten thousand persons were pre-
sent to witness the performance of the extreme
penalty of the law. For nearly an hour, the con
demned addressed the crowd in a most solemn and
impressive manner, protesting his innocence at
heart, asserting his willingness to abide the awful
result, and cautioned all in the reach of his voice
to beware Of liquor, that was the sole cause Of
guilt.

Slavery in Kansas.

correspondent of the New York Times, writing
fem st. Louis says:
"From Kansas and Nebraska, the news is that a
large emigration is expected early in the Spring.
Kansas win undoubtedly be a slave community. II
viii be declared such as soon as the Legislature is
assembled. This result is attributable to abolition
excitement Had things been left to their natural
course, free labor would have preponderated. The
Emigration Societies of the North have created
apprehensions on our border, which have resulted
in determined purposeto exclude those sent here
under their auspices, not by force, but by steady
refusal to have any social or business intercourse
with them. This the borderers can do and will do.
They have organized to effect the object, and can
command at any moment any amount Of capital
needed, and, If necessary, any amount Of physical
force"

SINGULAR DEATHs.-The Norfolk Herald records
two very mysterious deaths In Princess Anne coun-
ty, Va. It appears that on Sunday last young
colored man attended the funeral Of an old colored
woman, and assisted in filing up her grave. On the
same night he and bis wife retired to bed in good
health, and on the next morning both were found
dead. An inquest was held, and two physicians at
tended, but nothing showing the cause Of their
mysterious deaths was adduced

Grand Charity Ball.


A very magnificent ball was given in New
York a few nights ago, the proceeds Of which
were to be distributed among the poor of that
city. The Express says:
The ball, itself was, perhaps, the moat magnif-
cent and beautiful ever exhibited in this country and
it is seldom that such ball is shown even in the
| capitals of the old world. The cosp dcl from the
boxes was spectacle of unsurpassed elegance and
spendor The ladies were out in their full toiIettes
with low neck dresses, bare arms, and with laces
and jewelry that highly embellished the picture.
Two of our best bands of music alternated in their
part of the entertainment, and the dances and
marches all took place as announced in the pro-
gramme. The sight itself was worth the two dol
lars twice overland it is one of the most remark
able signs Of the times, that so cheap and SO pro-
miscuous ball, should have brought up such ele-
giant masses, not only from our rich and more FASH
ionable lotteries, but from the great mddng inter-
ests, who, in their manners and dresses, all showed
an exquisite taste, and such as adorns society.
IL is impossible as yet to say how many tickets
were sold-but full 5000 which win bring in $l0-
600. The expenses are comparatively Highland
we may, perhaps, set down $4,000 to be given to
the poor. The success of the thing was beyond
even the warmest expectations of its managers.
The Herald's account of this affair, however,
is not quite so complimentary. II says:
GAS for the ball itself, It was only
crush But, what a mixed company Lawyers
and gamblers, stockholders and politicians, inan-
ciers and shoulder-hitters gentlemen and hack
drivers, policemen and judges, ladies from the Fifth
avenue, ladies from the Dry Dock, and ladies from
quarters not to be mentioned. There was a great
deal Of the second-best society little Of the FIRST
and great deal Of no society at all.
Doubtless many persons who intended TO dance
retired from the floor in dismay; but 1t is very
tain that the fashionable people who condescend-
ed to appear confined themselves to their boxes,
from which the Fifth avenue surveyed through its
eyeglasses, in solemn state, the evoutions Of the
| lower million.
"The ball went on till o'clock--everybody
running against everybody, and nobody comfbrta-
BILE. Although collision was expected between
the Goldfish party and the more liberal patrons Of
the ball, yet happy to say, nothing occurred
to mar the festivities Everything was very re-
spectacle Certain gentlemen with white rosettes,
| supposed 30 be the members Of the floor commit
tee, rushed about in highly excited state Of mind.
They knew nothing, however, and were acquainted
with nobody"
