The Execution.

The largest assembly people that we have
ever witnessed in Yszoo City, were collecte d
together in front of our Jail on last Friday the
9th Of June, to witness the execution Of YOUNG
c. BovARD, convicted Of the murder Of his wife.
and the three negroes, who killed their master,
Mr.. Prichett. Bovard met his fate with greater
degree Of calmness, and resolution than was
anticipated by his iriends-after ascending the
platform Of the gallows and kneclng for few
m nutes, he arose, approached the front Of the
platform, and read very impressive sketch o.
his life. manner Of living and Of the causes tha'
ted to his untimely death; ascribing the source
Of all his woes, 10 the excessive use of brandy:
he exhoited those who frequented the drinking
house to take warning by his fate, lest they
should ill murderer's grave.
Disclaining even on the brink of eternity any
Intention of ever hurting his wife or any knowl-
edge Of having committed the foul deed for
which there was alone atonsment in DEATH he
said that he had Brought upon himself the just
condemnation Of the Law, though innocent Of
the crime OF murder. After asking forgiveness
of all those whom he might have injured during
his improbable life, and. especially pardoning
those, who he said, had, alas! prosecuted him
with too fatal success, his emanciapated Soul
shutting of the cumbrous letters of mortality
was launched into the unknown mysteries Of
Eternity.

PAINTED CHEEKS IN a CHEMICAL LECTURE Room
We cut the following from a foreign letter.
1t was lately remarked that an exceedingly brill
auditory, amongst which were many elegantly
dressed ladies', attended, at Berlin, lecture on
Chemistry, delivered by one Of the most eelcbrg,-
ted chemists OF the age. After Witnessing mum
Der of beautiful experiments, and hearing of the
marycls OF science, young lady grew fatigucd,
and requested her husband to lead her from the
hall
"My love-" said the gentleman, on reaching the
the landing place outside, "wipc your check; there
is large blue spot upon it."
The lady, much surprised, turned 70 look at her
reelection III the mirrored window of shop they
were passing, and was almost petriiici to observe
that the rougeon her checks had become blue, in
consequence of the chemical decomposition occa-
siolfed by the gas the professor had used in max
ing the experiment. She quickly wiped her face,
and stincd her vexation in the thought that she
should find herself amply reyengcd upon the 9TH
or ladies III the hail. liz reality, the lecture clos
ing at this moment the audience began to dispense
and the gentleman and his wife almost burst with
laughter at the sight of checks of yellow, black,
violet and other coloFs, which now made their APP
pearance in the street. Some of the ladies' who
had manufactured for themselves ivory complex
ions, rosy checks coral lips and ebony eyebrows
were SO transformed that they would have excited
the envy of a peacock. 1t is whispered that lee
ture from the professor would produce similar eff
fccts in other cities besides Berlin.
