DIED---At Hanging Rock, Ohio. Oc.
tober 9Th, 1855, Rev. AUGUSTINE BARD.
WELL, aged 40 years. He was native
of Goshen, Hampshire county, Massa.
chusetts. From his fifth year until he
was thirteen. his residence was in Mis-.
sissippi, with the Choctaw Indians,
among whom his father was devoted
missionary. There he learnt the Choc.
taw language, SO that he could converse
in it with as much accuracy as in his
own. In 1884, he entered Marietta col.
lege as student, but without pee cuniary
resources, and was Obliged 10 sustain
himself by his own efforts, and did not
graduate until 1910. He :hen spent
two years in Lane Theological Semina.
ry. In 1912, he entered the labors OF
the Gospel Ministry Of the Presbyteri.
an Church, in this neishborhood, embra
cling eight regular appointments in the
Iron region. During the past seven
years, his labors have been limited to
Hanging Rock and Pine Grove Furnace.
He leaves widow and three children TO
mourn his irreparable loss. During the
past thirteen years, he had had only
about four weeks relaxation Fl iom his la.
bors. The fidelity with which his friends
at the Rock and Pine Grove sustained
his ministry, is the best evidence Of his
high standing as man, and preacher.
he has left no properly 10 support his
family, but they will, we trust, be amply
provided for by the friends 10 whom he
devoted the Iahor of his life

Execution Of a Negro Murderer q,
New Orleans-The Negro's Song
The Executioner Nobbed. .t

A slave named John, convicted Of
numbering his master. the Captain Of q
schooner, was hung at the stock landing,
in jefferson City, opposite New Orleans,
on the 2lst Of September, in the pre-.
sence OF a crowd OF six thousand per.
sons. The Picayune says:
After all The preliminaries had been
gone through with. (most of them out oI
our slightly the negro was seen with his
arms bound, toiling up the steep and
badly constructed ladder. With some
difficulty he attained the scafold, and
sat down on q stool, which had previ.
ously been placed theIe. He was en-.
tirely alone, and for some moments, he
gszed vacantly upon the crowd, mur.
muring at intervals, what appeared to be
prayer. After while he arose, and
q deep silence settled upon all present,
asahey gszed upon the being apparently
in Mo prime Of life and full OF health
and strength, who. in few minutes
would be lifeless clod. John was
large, fine looking negro, with rather a
mild expression Of countenance. and
were i, not for the direct and positive
proof adduced against him on his trial,
il would be difficult to believe that he
could be guilty Of SO atrocious a murder.
His first words were inaudiablele US,
but otter while his voice rang on,
clear and loud, and his countenance
seemed lighted up with religious fervor.
His speech was sort Of incoherent
rhapsody, in which his warnings to
those around, were mixed up with spe.
cies of self glorifcaticn and trusting
confidence, in the future. He stated that
in little while, all would meet at bar
where Justice would be delt out by One
to whom all things were known, and
added that this was the happiest day Of
his life. After something more to this
effect, he sat down, and Immediately
commenced singing hymn, every Sc.
cond line of which was, as near as we
could catch it, ~ am going to the Lord"
The rest was evidently improvised for the
occasion.
The hangmsn, who looked most hide.
GUS in his black mask, then mounted the
scaffold, and tied the culprit'n hands and
feet, when the Sheriff, or one Of his as.
sistsnts, read the death warrant. fhe
negro still continued singing, evidently
determined to brave it out; but poor,
weak humanity could not be controlled
in the face of certain death, as was evi.
denced by his tremulous tones and quiv.
erinx Imbs. The white, cap. was then
drawn over his face the rope cut, and
the murderer hung struggling in mid. air.
These struggles were but few, however,
as t''e Length Of the drop was nearly six
feet, and the probability is that his neck
was broken BY the fall. VI
The executioney was placed in a car.
riage and driven Soff, but couple Of
young gentlemen, sharing the vulgar in.
disnation against this minister Of the
Law, threw some sticks Of wood before
The wheels Of the carriage, and nearly
succeeded in overturning It.. They then
took refuge 10 passing omnibus. from
whence they we're quickly dragged BY
the soldiers, who were near by. and ia
ken to the Jefferson City calaboose, lc
answer the charge of endeavoring to Ok.
cite riot. 49,,

The state Fair.

THE bus,le and confusion OF the Stat,
Fair being over, we are now enabled Ia
STATE the following facts which have been
kindly furnished us by DR.. Sprogue, the
5entlemanly Secretary OF the Stute Board
OF Agriculture; ..lraIF .g-
|, "The receipts were ss follows EN-.
try fees and admission at gates, 80, 500 F.;
rclreshme nj privileges, $500 Coiumb bus
subscription, $4,000. making total Of
$l3,3oO. AS near as the estimates can
now be made. The receipts from all
sources after the sale is made of some
$1,000 worth OF lumber on hand, will
pay oil the expenses Of the Fair, includ.
ing Tho lis, Of premiums, which latter
will amount 10 obout $1,000.
The re ceipts at Dayton and Clevola nd
were larger, not owing 10 q larger con.
course OF visitors, but 10 the fsct Of a
large number Of badges being sold for
one dollar each. Thousands wcrc ad.
mitted to the as. Fair on single tickets
and on family tickets at fifty cents each,
who would have purchased badges at
one dollar had these been supplied. but
The impositions Practised upon the Board
by traffic ia badges out. de the enclosure,
putting them through the fence TO friends,
&c., greatly reduced the receipts at New.
ark, and forbid the repetition of the
badge system.
The Agricultural Convention will
meet in this city on Wednesday. the 9th
lay Of December, when tho question ofl
ocating The State Fair permanently at
his place will be decided.
This Convention is composed Of the
residents of County Agricultural Soci.
