The Execution of Brown
CHARLEsrowN, Va Dec

q
Brown was taken from the Jail about 11'
o'clock, In furniture wagon. He convers-
cd freely with the soldiers around him. The
execution took place at quarter past IL
o'clock. He died apparently very easy
His body was taken down after being sus-
pended thirty-five minutes. His remains
will be sent to Harper's Ferry at 4 O'Clock.
this afternoon, aud from thence will be con-
veyel north this evening
The reporter of the Associate Press, teie-
graphed yesterday to Gov. Wise for permis-
sion to attend the execution. The reply
was that the Governor declined to accede to
the request and no facilities will be extend
ell to reporters. Yesterday passed quietly
with the exception of great military bus
tie on the reception Of Mrs. Brown: Mrs.
Brown was escorted over from Harper S
Ferry at three o'clock in the afternoon, and
the entire military force was brought ont to
make a demonstration She was received
with full military honors, but her compan
ions were not allowed to accompany her
from Harper's Ferry. After remaining
four hours with her husband, Mrs. Brow
was escorted back to Harper's Ferry at
nine o'clock last night where she will
await the reception of her husbands body.
No one was allowed to be near enough to
the place of execution to hear any remark 5
that Were made by Brown.
/ There is no falling off in the wild sto-
ries of invaders. Although martial law
has not yet been proclaimed, there is a
rigid military surveillance kept up that
subjects every one, excepting none not
even citizens, to great Inconvenience. Even
well known inhabitants cannot pass thro'
the suburbs without arrest AMI examina-
ton. On the arrival Of the cars two per-
sons who were unable to give a satisfacto-
~ account Of themselves, were sent by an
armed escort across the Maryland line
-Four suspicious characters have been arres-
ted since Wednesday. one of whom was
supposed to be Coppie's brother-all have
been detained Tor the present The Ohio
merchants who were arrested at Harper's
Ferry were discharged after Il short 0e,en-
ton, there being no reasonable grounds for
suspicion.
Brown, ii is said, admits his particpa-
ton In the Kansas massacre, but offers va
rious excuses in paliiation. The feeling
produced here against him by Mrs. Doyles'
letter IS very great. The work OF erecting
inc gailows was commenced yesterday. To
day several person who are elitors OF Alb
olltion newspapers published III the North
were elected from the cars for Harper )
Ferry. They had purchased tickets and
were very anxious to proceed, but were re-!
fused On account of an arrangement enter
ed into between Gov. Wise and the Presi-
dent Of tac Road They left in the Wash
ington train, declaring they were bound to
be in Charleston to see the execution and
would reach there by The Orange DE- Alex
andria Railroad, whereupon the President
of the road was informed of the fact by
telegraph.

Life -. A Song.
By J. C. HAGEN.

Di - - iifuEN
Let poets sing,
And Sa@es bring
The best their wits can GROW,
To prove this life
A scene # strif--
A scene of strife and sorrow,
With some, alas,
The world NAV pass
For what tia, Sc worthivs take il
But much to me
Ii seems TO lie
The very thing W. make it.
Though grief and gloom
AT times may loom
On every side appalling,
And wrong come in
Where right hath been
Across cur pathway falling.
let no. q wrong
Hath life 50 strong
But honesty can right it;
And not path
So dark it hath
But cheeriulness can light it.
Let not in grief
Lifr's moments brief.
Then foohshly he wasted;
With ali its care,
IL hath its share
OF joy, would We but taste it.

READING ALoUD.-There is no treat so
great as to hear good reading OF any kind.
Not ono gentleman or lady in a hundred
can read so as to please the ear, and send
the words with gentle force to the heart and
understanding. An inuistinct utterance.
whines nasal twanSs, cultural notes, hesi-
tatieHs AMI other vices Of elocution, arc
almost universal. Why it is, no one can
say, unless it be that either the pulpit, or
the nursery, or the Sunday school, gives
the style in these days. Many lady can
sing Italian sons with considerable execu-
ton, but cannot read English passabiy.
Yet reading is by far the most valuable ac-
complishment OF the two. In most draw
ing rooms, if anything thing is to be read.
il is discovered that nobody can read ono
mas weak iungs, another gets hoarse, anoth-
er chokes, another has an abomnale sing
son, evidently Il tradition of the way he
said Watts hymns when he was too young
to understand them another rumoleS like
broad wheel wagon; another has a way
of realing, which seems to proclaim that
what is read is of no sort of consequence,
and had better not he listened to.

A POLITE Su1crDE.-The Spanish Consul
for Australia, Don Antonio de Ayala lately
blew out his brains while in England but
before doing so he wrote a letter of apology
to the Duke of Marlborough for destroying
himself in his Graces park, which is per-
feet curiosity in its way. There is a wondrous
deal of simplicity as well as politeness in it.
This is his apology:
Ihumbly ask your Lordships pardon and
forgiveness for the great liberty have taken
in coming to put an end to my dreary and
miserable existence in your park. 1t may be
childish feeling, but one cannot blow his
brains out in a common road, or one those
cultivated fields full of cottages, and life, and
civilization, and railways, and establishments
of all kinds, of which your blessed country
of England abounds. So have not found
another proper place to die decently than
your handsome park and you must bear the
inconvenience ofa dead man in your grounds.

THE BRIDGE OF BUFFALoRA.-This bridge
at which the Austrians fired the first guns in
the war now waging in Italy, spans the Ii
cino river, the northern boundary line of
Sardinia. 1t is thus described by traveller
This bridge is 900 feet long, and is the
fnest bridge ever saw away from city or
town 1t has eleven arches of uniform size,
and istbuilt of immense blocks of hewn gran
ite, at cost of nearly 100000. Such
bridge could not be built for million of dol
lars in the United States. The parapets are
of hewn granite in immense blocks, four feet
high, two feet wide and six feet long; side
walks on each side of solid blocks of granite,
and double train ways Of the same material
for carriages. Indeed the bridge is perfect,
and withal so sternly simple that not dol
lar appears to have been expended for mere
ornament. Unless blown up by gunpowder,
or thrown up by an earthquake, it would last
until the end of time.

in fine farming country. At present it con-
tains four churches, three school houses,
four stores, and billiard saloon. Wells,

HELPING HIM.-In Augusta county, Geor-
gia, on the goth of May, a married man, Ia
boring under intoxication, told his wife he
intended to kill himself She seconded the
proposition, and aided him in getting rope
over beam in the house, and in getting it
around his neck. She then pulled from un-
der him the chair on which he was standing,
Immediately ran away and had not been
apprehended.
