of Brown.

HARPER b fERRY, Lee. q.
Brown was hung at a quarter past eleven
o'clock. The military assembled at 9 o'clock,
and were posted on the field leading to the ex-
~ecution, and also at various points, as laid down
in general orders. Everything was conducted
under the ~strictest military discipline, as if the
town was in a state of seige. Noun ed scouts
were stationed in the woods to the left of the
scaffold, 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 inner line and outer
line the citizens were admitted, no one being
allowed outside the lines except the mounted
guards.
At IL O'Clock the prisoner was brought out
of the Jail, accompanied ~ Sheriff Campbell
and assistants, and Ca3t. Avis, the jailor. A
small wagon containins a white pine coffin was
driven up, on which they took seats. Six com
panies of infantry and rife, and one company
horse, and general and s aft mum ering went :
five officers, healed the proc s ion and novel
towards the place OF execution. lie Was ac-
CON p ,nied by no m:nist, r, desiring 10 relis-
ious ceremonies either in Jail or on the scaffold.
He mounted the scaffold with a firm step, with
his arms pinioned by the Sheriff, bid farewell
to Capt. Avis and Sheriff Campbell, and at half
past IL 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.

BUT TRUE.

A few days since, Mr.. Jas. H. Beadle, of Hunts
vile, Alabama, called on US and gave us permission
to publish for the benefit of suffering humanity, the
Astonishing cure which had been effected in the case
of his wife by the use of DIR. Hance's Vegetable Ep-
ileptic Pills. He informs us, that the time his wife
commenced using the medicine, her system was so
entirely prostracted. by the number of spasm she had
undergone, as TO reduce her weight to 1O0lbs. Since
she has been taking the pills, she has entirely got
over the spaSms and has gained in weight and bodi-
ly health. She now weighs at least 200 lbs., and de-
claaes she is in better enjoyment of health than ever
before in her life. Mr.. Beadle also related the case
of Mr.. Harrison Lightfoot of the same town, who
has been entirely cured of the worst form of Epilepsy
by these same pills. Mr.. Lightfoot's case was SO bad
that he never passed a week without having an at
tack, often falling down in the street He has not
had an attack for more than a year. Mr.. Beadle
thinks that if the pills ever fails in curing a case, il
is for the want of proper perseverance on the parto OF
the person in taking them, as he feels assured from
observation in the case of his wife, that if they are
taken for a sufficient length of time, they will cure
auy case. Sent to any part of the country by mail

1.-THE ASHLAND UNIoN,0 WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER y 1859.
Destructive Fire.

Our city was thrown into a high state of ex-
element on Saturday last, by a confagration
most DISASTROUS in its results. About half
Tast 7 o'clock, A. NJ. the alarm of fire was Civ
en- and it was found that the stable attached
to the st. Cloud Hotel was in flames. Our
fremen were soon upon the ground with their
apparatus but before it was possible for
. lem to commence proceedings the fire had
spread with such astonishing rapidity that the
rear end OF the Hotel was burning and in one
hours time the whole structure was a mass of
III ms. T1e fame, then ran along anImber of
eut-houses and back buildings to BARRIERS
Livery Stable, Hurford & Bros Gauge Shop,
Trump's Stable, collars and Harter's Ware
houses, which were soon consumed. At 10
o'clock our efficient Firemen seconded by the
arduous efforts of our citizens. succeeded in
say n gthe further progress Of the fire. The loss
can not at this time be estimated, but it cannot
be less than $4,000. Buckus & Hawk, the
proprictors of the ST Cloud Hotel are insured,
we believe, for $4,000. Their total loss is
about SIS, 900. Nichols Eour's loss about
$4,000 and no insurance-Wm. BARRIERS $500,
insured 500. Hurford & Bro, $50 0, no in
surance, Mrs. Faber $500, no insurance
Peter z. Trump 81 1000, no insurance. Julius
Whiting $1,000, fully insured. Isaac Harter
81 ,009, no insurance. David collars $500,
insured. Other losses estimated at 81, 000.-

wind blowing during the fire that the iremen
succeeded in staying its devastations. They
worked admirably and we want but one more
improvement to render us perfectly safe from
any more serious losses,-a we'll drilled, fully
equipped Hook and Ladder Company, which
we hope win soon be organized. The ladies
deserve great credit for their deeds We saw
numbers of them taking their places in the
lines passing water, filling ~eisterns, and pre-
serving furniture. There were fortunately no
lives lost and no one seriously injured. Henry
Cock and Thomas Patton narrowly escaped
with their lives, being at one time on the roof
of the burning Hotel with all egres cut eff
by the fire. They were rescued, however, by
means of ladders, and performed active ser
vice after their escape. The public buildings
and Court House were in great danger, but
by keeping the roofs covered with salt and wa
ter they were saved. We hope our citizens
will come forward promptly and with their
usual generosity to the relief of the sufferers,
nd that buildings equal to if not surprising
those destroyed, will soon rise in their stead.
In conclusion we will mention the fact that
the Massillon Firemen, so soon as they learned
that a fire was laying our city desolate, hurried
to our assistance on the first train for which
they deserve the thanks and best wishes of
every citizen of Canton.-Stzrk Co. Dem.

100 An extraordinary match has recently
been made between the Duke of Beaufort and
the Earl of Winchester, the object of which is
the test and comparative speed of the race horse
and the greyhound. The match is to be 5000
aside, half forfeit, and the Duke backs five
couples of hounds against three horses, to be
selected by the Earl, who are to carry 119
pounds, each TIE race is to take place over
the. full distance ofthe Beacon Course, at New
market, which.is 4 miles, 1 furlong and 173
s yards in length, and is to csme off during the
~Honghton Meeting in the fall of next year
The hounds are to run, a trail on the opposite
ofsthe, course to that on which the horses do
theirswork, SO as not to interfere. with each
other. Trials of this sort have been made be.
fore in England, and have nearly always re-
suited In favor of the hounds. "Stonehenge,'
in his work on the. dog, mentions an instance
in which there were as many as sixty horses
y contending over Beacon Horse against a pack
[.of hounds, but says that, Notwithstanding their
: EXTREMIST efforts, a dog named Blue Cap won
in eight minutes and a few seconds, and only
! twelve of the horses were with the dogs at the
finish : T.

More 1ncediarism in Virginia.

Shortly after the execution ..of Brown, and
whilst the body was being taken to the depot,
great excitement was oceasioned in the tram by
the arrival of a horseman announcing that
Wheatland, the residence of George w. Tur-
ner, shot at Harper's Ferry, was on fire, and 1t
was spreading to the farm buildings. VIM. F.
Turner, who was in town, had left home at 10
o'clock. He said that several of the horses
had died very suddenly, and also some sheep;
It was supposed they have been poisoned, and
it was intended to have their ston achs ana
lyzed.
Inc stock of Mr.. Castleman and Mr.. Myers,
in the same neighborhood, had also died very
mysteriously.
The excitement was very great, and Col. d.
Wis had the Farquier Cavalry in readiness to
go out and inquire into the truth about the
fire.

ton, G. W., is mentioned by the Spectator of
that place:
.sssY Yesterday morning while Mr.. Freeman was
addressing the jury, in one of the most elo-
.quent portions of his speech, to his horror he
saw a broad grin on the faces of the jury, af-
ter which they seemed involuntarily to burst
out into a. loud laugh. The learned counsel
appeared for the moment nonplussed, not be-
ing aware of the cause of this unseemly pro-
sceeding. -On turning to the Bench, however,
the reason was evident. The Chief Justice
had retired to his room for a moment, and in
THE judicial chair, in all his majesty, there sat
no less . parsonage than Mr.. Robert Innes, an
insane man, well known here. Bob as he is
Familiarity called, looked smilingly on the
learned counsel and said, $50 on, it's all right
I'll see justice done" amidst roars of laughter
ssAtthia moment his lordship returned, but The
. Uould-be Judge did not feel inclined to yacate
shis prominent position, and it required three
sconstables to remove him. It was some min.
utes before the Court settled down to its Gus
- romary solemnity, and the learned gentleman
zas able ts continue his speech.

REASON AND COMMON SENSE.

Our readers may remember we have on several oe-
casions spoken in very e~ulogistic terms of a prepa-
ration which DR.. SETH S. HANCE, of 10S Baltimore
street, Baltimore, Md. has discovered for the cure
of Epileptic Fits. Now, in doing so, we have been
actuated by the very best motives, viz: the allevia-
ton of human suffering. From circumstances which
have lately come to our knowledge, we fear there is
a certain class of persons who are not disposed to
try this remedy in a common sense manner. We al
Jude to the fact of selecting a particular case in a
town where perhaps there are six or eight cases, AMI
trying it on one case. Now, perhaps the case select
ed might be the only one of the whole number that
it would not cure. This is neither doing themselves
northe medicine justice. If a dozen persons were
stricken down with cholera in one town or neighbor-
hood, would they all send for a physician, or would
only one employ him. and wait and see if he cured
the first patient? That plan of procedure would be
most absurd. So in the case of DR.. Hance's remedy,
every one whe has Fits should try it for a reasonable
length of time. 1t will not cure in q day or week
nothing worth doing can be accomplished at once
What is easily done, is as easily undone. The growth
of time is enduring. From the most respectable tes-
timony we have examined, we feel assured that by a
proper perseverance in this remedy, nine cases of
Epilepsy out of ten may be cured. The Pills are
sent by mail free of postage to any parto the world.
