Execution Of Miller.

In compliance with the warrant Of the
Governor Of the Slate, Frederick Miller,
convicted of tho Murder of DIR. j. r c. Ha-
del ana Henry Graef, was executed yestet-
day, ia the presence of an imnanse concourse
OF people all ages, colors and conditions,
and of both sexes.
For weeks, past the prisoner has beer
regularly visited by the Rev. Mr.. Myers, of
the German Lutheran Church, who labored
assiduously to impress him with proper
sense of bis duty in view of bis contempla-
ted appearance before the Supreme Judge;
bot from what We learn, there vas but lit
apparent change in him.
At a few minutes past ii o'clock, the
prisoner, dressed in his shroud was taken
from the jail, and seated in an open carriage
on his cofhu, and Duputy Sheriff Callen took
a seat by his side-and from thence was es-
cor'od by the "Alleghany Guards" aud
Cumberland Continent ais" to the place Of
execution, on the almshouse property. He
manifested much frmness, or rather indif-
ference.
Arrived at tho place OF execution, the
prisoner, accompanied BY Sheriff Everett,
his deputy, the late Sheriff, Rev Mcssrs.
Myers, Drinkhouse, Clemnl, DR.. P. A. Heal
ey, and several others, assembled the seaf-
fold. The Rev. Dir. Clenlm addressed the
vast assemblage for few minutes, in re-
marks appropriate to the occasion; the
prisoner standing drring the time. The
Rev. Mr.. Myers followed in prayer in be-
half of the prisoEss. The prisoner then
made an audible prayer in which he reiter-
ated that he was innocent of the murdors.---
lie asked forgiveness of the almighty for
his sins, and thanked Him for the grace He
had youchsafe TO himthrough life, aud that
when be aseended to Heaven, asked that
the Lord would grant him permission to soc
Hadel and Graef, that he might know OF
them who was their murderer. He also
prayed for the judge. jury, Witnesses,
ETC.

lector differs from the bark gatherer; he is
found on the plains as in the woods, his
ammunition Is good powder in a small tin
canister, different sized shot, and Z small
quantity Of quicksilver. The shot are for
ordinary birds. He puts few drops of
quicksilver in small piece Of paper, and
loads his gun with it instead of shot, The
quicksilver knocks the haamiug- bird over,
