words in recommendation of your pianos. For quality
and beauty of tone they equal the best pianos the Uni
ted States The Patent Double Sounding Damps and Su
perior Circular Scale improvements which fully en
tie your pianos Tin that respect) to the superiority you
claim while placing the keyboard in the centre of the
instrument, adds much to the general symmetry Ny ad

SHOCKING SCENE AT AN Execution. The
Chicago Times, in giving an account of the
execution there, on Friday of Michael McNamce
for the murder of his wife, describes the fol-
lowing painful scene at the gallowS:
The sheriff, by quick and sudden motion,
pulled the cod, the bolts came ont, and the
trap fell Instantly. The wretched man fell
but horrible to relate, the jerk was so severe
that the leather collar broke, and the poor
man fell fiat down on the stone floor of the
prison below. The fall could not have been
less than ten feet. OF course the prisoner was
very much bruised and stunned. No sooner,
however, had be touched the floor, than he was
raised therefrom by the vgilant officers in at
tendance, and this time carried up the Stairs.
1t was some minutes before the rope was again
prepared, and during this interval, his suffer
ings must have been very great At length,
however, running moose was made in the
rope, and the rope itself placed around his
neck. Again was the wretched man placed
in the proper position on the drop again was
the cap placed over his eyes, and again was
the bolt withdrawn, and the murderer launch
ed into the space below. This time the work
was better done. The poor man struggled
violently, and swung to and fro for some min
utes nut his struggles grew fainter and fainter
and after ten or twelve minutes, ceased alto,

THE Frozen WEIL-Some months since,

ground discovered at Brandon, Vt, in digging
a well An engineer and chemist of rcpute in
Boston recently visited Brandon for the pur
pose Of investigating the facts aud he com
municated the results of his inquiries to The
Transcript in the following paragraphs.
THE latter part OF last November, Mr.
Andrew Twombly of Brandon, Vt, commcnc
ed to dig well near his house, situated about
n mile from the centre of the Village of Bran
don, on n tolerably level plain Having cx-
cavated to the depth of Fifteen feet, through
sand and gravel, the workmen came to ground
frozen solid, through which they continued to
excavate the furthe. distance Of fifteen or six
teen feet before getting through the frozen
ground.
At the depth Of 40 feet, sufficient water
having been obtained, the well was stoned in
the usual manner The character ofthc ground
was the same throughout the whole distance,
viz: coarse gravel and Snnd-the frozen por
tion interspersed with Jumps of clear ice At
the time the well was dug the surface of the
ground was not frozen. Ever since the well
was dug, up to the present time, ice forms in
the we'll aud lncruSts the stone at from l5 to
80 feet from the surface, and the surface of the
water, which is 80 feet below the surface Of
the ground, freezes over every night On
several occasions, when the bucket has been left
in the well under the water over night it has
been found necessary to descend the well, and
with q hatchet, cut the ice in order to eXtri.

were arrested. On tho following day, thcy
woro examined boforo L. c. Maynard, Esq,
Of lIambden, and bound over to tho next
term OF Court. Their bail was fixed at $500
each, and, failing. to obtain it, they wore
committed to Jail. A circumstance occur.
red at their examination, which induced tho
suspicion that young Beach (son of MIR. H.
Beach) might be implicated with thom, and
which led to his arrest. lie refused to give
any information as to his knowledge Of their
guilt, or to permit q search to be nado. A
vigilant watch was kept up during Friday
night, aud, on Saturday morning, tho rcQui-
site papers wore obtained for his arrest, and
for tho search Of his fathers promises. lIo
has since bocn examined in this place, before
Esqs. hathaway and Ssson, and bound over.
lIc is now at liberty, having been held to
bail in tho sum OF BOO His arrest was
made at the instance ot Mcssrs. ReXford and
Hamilton, on tho supposition that his oIam-
ination might throw some light on tho bur
glarics committed in this village, during tho
past year. We understand that ono article
proved to havo bcOn in the possession of
Beach, is identified as among those stolen
from tho storo of Ro1ford & Garfield and
that several articles answering to tho de-
scription OF "stolcn property" have been
traced to the possession Of Murphy's mother,
who is now dead.

/ in refusing to answer inquiries, or to grant
the desired search, as he thereby subjected
himself to suspicion and arrest; but, US ht
had always sustained good reputation, vt

his innocence. Wo prefer TO postpone al

The Emperor Of japan Dead.

The following interesting particulars relative
to the death of the Emperor of japan, we CLEAN
from the letter OF Lieut. Ilnbersham, Of the L. 5.
steamer Powhatlen, recently published in the
Philadelphia Ledger. The letter is dated on board
ship, at Nasgasaki, Japan, October ist, 1883, and
is us follows -" ltwas said that, after the sign.
ING Of our last treaty, l2Oth Of July ut.l, il was
sent by the ni.Koon, or Imperial Emperor AT
Teddo, to the Mikndo, or Spiritual Emperor nj

who is said 10 be young man ci eighteen, aware
OF his rights md power, md determined to enforce
them, refused his approval on the ground that he

timil policy of his more immediate predecessors,

hi. great ruler or Tai.Koon, Tint, in obtdi,
ence to the lnws Of Japan, the time had come for
him to comuiit HpIikuri' The Great Ru'cI
therefore stabbed himself in the bowels receiving
ut the same moment severe blow on the bnck of
his neck, from friend and relative, which dslo.
Gazing the vertebrH produced instant death. This
bold stand on the part Of their Milkndo, who has
been treated by the late Tai Koon more as n pup
pet than a master, has startled the japanese and
caused them to expect some great changes What
these arc to be, however, they do not say"
The above is the account by one post, while nm.
other reports that the Emperor was poisoned, and
that three Of the great princes composing the sen
ate OF twenty, Who actually govern japan, had
been disgraced for the part they had taken in the
treaty A third arrival still further varies The
news by stating that the Tai-Koon has simply
been deprived of his Office for lime, and that h,
will return to power after few years Ii is fur

from office by the Tui-Koon previous Io his owl
