the brother of Jones, who was left,
said that bis brother "had plenty Of
money" that he acted badly all along

his conduct generally.

there was no other course but to have

JoHs BRowS is DEAD.-Much space is
taken in to-day's paper with the particulars
of the hanging Of JoHN BRowS. The
South has never been guilty of any act
which so intensifes the hatred of the
North against slavery as this. The day
JoHk BRowN was hung, sympathetic meet
ings were held all over the North amid
scenes Of uncomfortable excitement, and
characteristic conflict. Nor will this condi-
ton Of things terminate with the sad Sc
quel Of Friday, the second Of December.
Millions will rush to read the details of the
execution, and the curiosity always felt af-
ter such an event will be intensified by this.
Browns department onsthe gallows and
his last words. his parting interviews with
his wife and friends, will be used to apoth-
eosise his memory, and the feeling which
be died to crafty among The Southern peo-
pie will be responded to by the bitterest
denunciation in the non-slayeholding por-
ton of our " country.

Jonn Browns Body.

The remains of Brown arrived at Phila-
delphia on Saturday where the intention
was to have them remain over Sunday in
order to receive the attention of an Under
taker, but the excitement was SO great that
the Mayor Of the city compelled the friends
to pass on with the body To, New York,
where it arrived Saturday evening. On
Sunday morning il was put in charge of
an Undertaken who put it in condition for
dedcent burial. teF, 10 asI, -7stasase5
The Times says several persons were ad-
mitted to the room and saw the body.eag
The features would have been Instantly
recognized as those of John Brown by any
one who has seen his photograph. They
were no: in the least distorted, and wore a
calm expression as Of one alseep. The lips
were closed naturally, and there was a
slight bruise perceptible on the side of the
right eye. The body was dressed in the
clothes in which it was executed. a

gress up the Hudson. pris

SdAhLESIOWS, OtC. =.
Shortly after the execution of Brown
and whilst the body was being taken to the
depot great excitement was occasioned in
the train by the arrival Of horsemau an
nouncing that Wheatland, the residence Of
George w. Turner, shot at Harper's Ferry,
was on fire, and it was spreading to the
farm buildings.
Wm. F. Turner, who was in town, had
left home at ten o'clock. He said that
several of the horses had died very sudden
ly and also some sheep. 1t was supposed
they had been poisoned and it was intended
to have their stomachs analysed.
The stock Of Mr.. Castleman and Mr..
Myers, in the same neighborhood, had also
died very mysteriously. The excitement
was very great, and Col. Davis had the
Farquier Cavalry in readiness to go out and
enquire into the truth about the fire.

Execution of Brown.

. fEnnl, 0CS. -
Brown was hung at o quarter past elev-
en- o'clock. The Military assembled at 9
o'clock, and were posted on the field lead
ing to the execution; and also at various
points, as laid down in general orders. Ev-
erything was conducted under the s%trictest
military discipline, as if the town was in a
state of siege. Mounted scouts were sta
toned in the woods TO the left of the scat
fold, and picket guards were stationed out
towards the Shenandoah mountains in the
rear. The military on the field formed
two hollow squares. Within the inner
one was the scaffold, and between the in
ner line and the outer line the citizens were
admitted, no n being allowed outside the
lines except the mounted guards.
At eleven o'clock the prisoner was bro't
out Of the Jail, accompanied by Sheriff
Campbell and assistants, and Capt. Avis,
the jailor. A small wagon containing a
white pine coffin was driven up, upon which
they took seats. Six companies of infan-
try and rifle, and one company horse, and
general and staff numbering twenty-five of
fcers, headed the procession and movedto-
wards the place of execution. He was ac-
%companied by no minister, desiring n ore
ligious ceremonies either in the Jail or on
the scaffold. He mounted the scaffold
with a firm step, with bis arms pinioned
by the Sheriff, bid farewell to Capt. Avis
and Sheriff Campbell, and at half-past II
the trap of the ,scaffold was pulled away,
and with a few slight struggles John Brown
yielded up his spirit. The body was placed
in the coffin, and is now on the way to
Harper's Ferry, to be delivered to his wife,
under strong military escort.

PUBLIC Us. PRIyArE ENTERPRIsE.-
Our Venerable scity fathers" spent some
three or four hundred dollars last summer
in putting down street crossings, which,
when the streets are muddy, it would take
a sharp eyed officer with two search-war-
rants to find. A private crossing was put
down a few days ago in front of the EN-
pire House, at an expense of IS, worth
two of the public ones, when the streets
are muddy.

The fight for Speaker is now going on
in the House. Grow has declined, which
will run Sherman's vote up to ITO when
the next ballot is taken. So far, only
Montgomery, of Pa, and the Illinois dele
cation of the Anli-Lecomptonites have
gone for Bocock.
The signs are favorable for a Republican
organization. Several Democrats are alb
sent, and Clarke, of Mo-, has introduced a
fllibustering resolution that no man who
recommended Helpers" Crisis at the South
is fit to be Speaker. This is only to gain
time. 1t is a poor dodge which won't
amount to much.
Sickles is here. Some of bis former
friends received him very kindly.
Briggs and Carter of New York, it is
said, are wavering. Pugb, of Alabama,
did not vote for Bocock. He went for Nc
Queen, of South Carolina. Morris, Of
Pennsylvania, went for Sherman. Any
speculation as TO the RESULT is idle. Pr u

the Republican Conference held this after-
noon. Petit, of Indiana presided, and
Mcpherson, of Pennsylvania, was Secreta

Gus one, lasted n or two hours.
Some of the most radical Republicans
expressed their willingness to vote for N
American or anti-Lecompton Clerk, if q
Republican speaker was elected. 1t was
finally decided not to call an Opposition
or a straight-out Republican caucus, but
that every member should 60 into the
House and vote for his choice, as was done
four years ago.

Americans were present.

$4,000 Worth Of Property DESTROYED

Our City was visited on Saturday morn
ing with the most disastrous fire which has
ever visited US. 1t commenced in the sta
Bile Of the st. Cloud Hotel, about s o'clock
in the Morning, but how or by what means
is not known, and soon spread North and
East with wonderful rapidity. The stable
was of wood, and was built against the
South wall OF the Hotel, and in a few min
utes that noble structure, the pride of our
city was enveloped in flames. In one
hour it was a mass Of blackened ruins, and
lis numerous boarders and the owners with
out a home. Passing East the flames
swept the row of stables on Eighth Street,
and also the Machine Shop of Mrs. Faber,
and the three story brick dwelling and
Post Office of Nicholas Bour, ON West
Tuscarawas Street, also two warehouses
belonging to Isaac Harter, on the rear of
his lot which fronts on the Public square.
The loss falls heavily upon Meseis.
