EXECUTION OF JONI BRowN.-0ur Atlantic
exchanges are filled with details of the cxecu-
ton Of John Brown, which event took place
on the 81 instant, as fixed. Everything was
conducted in perfect order, and although the
excitement was intense aud rescue was an.
ticipntcd, nothing occurred to caus, the slight
est disturbance. In many Of the Eastern
cities demonstrations Of sympathy with the
ends and aims Of Brown have taken place.
In Philadelphia. New York, Boston and Alba
ny church bells were tord, b!asphcmouS
prayers were said and violent speeches made
Brown was a desperate and blood thirsty man
and cold blooded murderer. According to
our Eastern exchanges
AfIidavitS without number have been pub
l>hcd IN the Kansas lAbolition) papers, prov
ing that Brown Was the Captain Of the band
which perpetvatcd the pottawatomie Creek
massacre in which, between the hours Of
midnight and daybrcak, five heads of families
were dragged from their beds and murdered
in the hearing Of their families, and their
horses taken from their stables Mrs. Doyle
the widowed wife and bcrcavcd mother Of one
Of Browns maSsacrcS, has made her deposition
to Browns character, rs being Of the most
bloody kind. This helpless woman has pub.
lished letter TO him, which Inns created Il
profound sympathy for her, as well rs a de-
tcstation for the slayer Of her family. In it
she says: o! how 1t panied my heart to
hear the dying groan> Of my husband and
children when you John Brown. entered my
house at midnight, and took them out into my
yard and slot them dtod IN my heari"g."

some advanced sheets of Mrs. Partington's new
book soon to be issued from the press Of Messrs
Brown, Taggard & Chase, of Boston:
"WATBRINs PLACHs.-''Are you going to any
watering place this summer,n asked a Young
friend of Mrs. Partington, on one of the rainy
days the present week. She had Just put I'D the
window to keep out the damp and disagreeahie
air, and pulled her handkerchief up over her
shoulder TO keep of the chill. watering places''
said she, with gentle tap of box at the same time
looking at Ike, who was engaged in making kite
out Of the last Puritan Recorder that the dame
had lain by her Sunday reading; watering places
don't thick much of now-a-days. Thee amt
no need Of 'em since the lucky-mOtiveS have run

stood by the waYside, under the ambiguous trees

them that do, depend upon II. and here she laid
her mouth close to his ear, and sDoke in whisper

gave him a queer look she said this and pointed
significantly TO the little buffet the corner where
an old fashioned cut glass decanter stood, sur
rounded by half dozen little glasses. as If they
were young decanters just hatched out: but what
she meant we dare not attempt to explain Ike
