SILVER CHANGE The advance
(says the New York Journal of Com.
merce) in the value Of bar silver abroa
has created demand for small silver
coins for export to Cuba and other
points South, and premium has been
paid for dimes, which will pass for the
same as shilling pieces (12t ccnts)
when the latter are scarce. This has
led 10 the impression that silver change
is scarce aud can only be procured at
n premium. This is not so silver
can be obtained at the United States.
Mint at Philadelphia in exchange for
gold at par, aud merchants and others
who want It for the purpose Of change
can procure 1t in sums Of $50 to Sl00
at the sub.ircasury without charge in

LIFE At AMeRHcAs WATERING
PLACES. The rich merchant (Mr
Maximum with bis wife aud daugh-
te's, is of to Carbonoga, that famous
watering-place, where one is sure to
meet everybody He puts up at the
Carbonic Hotel, where there are 400
other guests stopping, and where there
are bowling alleys, billiard.tables- pri-
vate faro.banks, pistol-galleries, and
bathrooms, The first thing that Mrs.
Maximum does is to dress for dinner

After dinner the Maximums dress
again for the evening, aud thea again
for the /" hop" They get up in the
afternoon. They carefully seclude
themselves from the glare of day, as
nothing would be more frightful than
to be sunburnt. Their only exercise
IL the walk on the piazza, for their feet
never touch grass all the time they
are at Carbonoga where, Eindeed,
there is but little to touch--and the
heated, unwholesome gymnastics of
the waltz in the ballroom at night, In
nothing material does " the season"
of Carbonoga differ from "the season"
in the city. II is more limited more
petty, more undisguisedly dissipatcd,
and that Is all. The dinners arc city
dinners. The dresses are Broadway
dresses. The men are the pale-faced,
thin-legged, feeble.bearded, muscle,
less set known as Young New York.
Why. il those wretched creatures
were put really into the country, and
guns placed in their hands, and told
that they should provide their own
dinners. they would starve-e every
soul Of them. Their nearest approach
to the pursuit Of health is trip in a
yatch, where they do nothing but get
booay on champagne and brandy. and
lose money to each other at cards,
which they never pay.

At o'clock to day, the military compa-
MES of the Vigilance Committee commenced
TO proceed from the Committee rooms, and
marched and countermarched all around
the DeighbOring blocks. AT 4 o'clock were
stationed five companies opposite the Com
mttee rooms, three at the corner Of Sacra-
mento and Davis streets, and the cross str eet
leading 10 the locality were occupied by
companies of Dragons. The general ex-
pectation of the public was that 3 o'clock
was the hour Of execution at that hour
every house top having a view Of Sacramen-
to street and DAVIS, was covered, and every
spot commanding view; 10 900 people
witnessed the tragedy. Roofs of three houses
in the vicinity fell through, preciptating
all on top into the houses. Five men in.
jured.
AT 3 o'clock, carpenters commenced to
erect a scaffold on Davis street, between
Sacramento and Commercial The dimen-
sions 10 feet square, with an upright beam
I feet above scatfold.
At 80 minutes past S, two carriages pro.
ceeded to the building, and Brace and Heth-
erington were conveyed into them aud from
thence to this gallows. Brace, assisted by
two persons, a.Cended the fatal platform.
Next came IIetherington--he refused assist.
s.nce, and though his arms were pinioned,
he walked up the narrow stairway firmly
and with unquivering nerves.
The prisoners then took their places on
the trap door--lIetherng next TO CONNER

they reached the drop, each had on a light
straw hat, but Braces blew off, and his head
was left exposed to the wind. The ropes
were then adjusted and an attendant uatied
the neckcloth Of Brace, but Hetherington
performed that Office for himself
The appearance of the prisoners on the
scaffold was Characteristic OF each
Brace acted like a drunken man, and de-
clared that he was drunk. He appeared so.
HetheriDgton, to the last, stood firm. and
spoke firmly. What he said was to this
effect: You may, and probably do, think
me a hardened criminal, but | am not--I
have never lived a day at the end of which

The Black Republicans were quite rejoiced
at this, and predicted that such would be

did the Fillmore kite. The Democrats laugh
