The ANIMAL commencement of this flourish,
ing University, located at the pleasant vii.
lage Of Berea takes place June 10Th We
learn by the College Gazette that the next
College year commences on the llth day Of
August next, after a vacation of eight weeks
and that the number Of students for the
present year will be about 425, which is an
Increase Of more than one hundred over the

Berea is located thirteen miles from Cleye-
land on the c. C, & C, and both divisions of
the Cleveland and Toledo Railroads. The
village contains about 1900 inhabitants, and
is distinguished for health, morality, and
good order. Its stone quarries are unsur-
passed, and the Gazette says "the business
Of our town is reyiving. The quarries look
more brisk than they have for long time
The increased number Of hands at work
the blasting Of rock-the hum of machinery
ARE indicative Of lively business and
good year"

A Double Execution in Pittsburgh.

On Friday last, Christian jacob and David
S Evans were hung in Pittsburgh for the muir
der of their wives. They took leave of their
children the day previous, and the scenes were
most touching. Both professed hope OF happi-
ness hereafter, and were earnestly devout.-
The execution was in the Jail yard, but a few
witnesses being present. Jacob said nothing
| on the gallows. Evans spoke at some length,
solemuly protesting his innocence to the last
! He spoke Of his wife as a dear companion for
whom he would willingly have laid down his
| life, and asseverated in the immediate presence
Of his Maker that he did not know who COM
mittod the awful deed. The Chronicle thus
describes the terrible closing scene
The executioner now took his place on the
/ scahold, and adjusted the ropes round the necks
of the unfortunate men During the operation
jacob trenbled violently, but Evans never
moved muscle, and seemed as impossible as
marble during the whole proceeding. The
f white can was then drawn over their eyes, and
the executioner leaving the scaitold, took his
position near the trap. At this juucture Jacob
raised his hands and struck his heart tervently
after which he clasped them on his bosom. Eyan'
r stood unmoved his hands by his side, and bOtl
were heard praying audibly. 1t was thrteer
minutes after two, and at signal from the
Sheriff the executiouer touched the fatal spring
and instantly the drop fell, and the bodies .
the victims were suspended in the air.
The struggles OF the victims were long Sn'
seyere and both died hard jacob at FIR! hrs
and arms was painful to look upon. Gradual
, ly, however, they subsided and his hands, whicl
remained firmly cIasped on his breast, fell life
less to his side At seven minutes all move,
ment of the body had ceased and at twenty-six
he was pronounced dead by the physicians in
attendance Evans died harder and for twelve
minutes the contortions of his body were very
violent. AT twenty-nine minutes after the drop
fell he was declared dead, and so closed the
hanging.

The late eruption of the great mountain OF

death. Rocks melted like wax in its path
forests cracked and blazed before its leryept
heat; the very bills were lifted from their pri-

borne onward by its waves; the works of man
were to it but a scroll in the flames: Nature
shrlvaed and trembled before the irresistible
flow. Imagine Aiagarq's stream, above the

atmosphere dark, turgid and oppressive; the
horizon muriy with vapors, and cleaning with
the reflected contest while cave and hollow, as
the hot air swept along their heated walls, threw
back the uneaGthlY sounds in q myriad of pro
longed echoes. Such was the scene as the fery
cataract poured its flood upon the ocean. The
waters reGoiled, aud sent forth a tempest Of
spray; they ioamed and lashed around and over
the melted rock; they boiled with the heat, and
the roar of the conflicting agencies grew fercer

were distinctly heard twenty five miles distant
They were hkened 10 discharges Of whole broad

The Massachusetts Two Years Amendment.
The Republican press, and the leading Re
pubeans Of the country, without an exception
as far as we have observed, condemn the recent

Massachusetts,. The small vote on the propo-
sition n that State shows the little interest felt

Out of 100 600 electors in the State, only 4O'-
600 voted either for or against it. Out OF 49,
600 votes, the amendment bad majority Of only
5000 The Democrats last fall polied IS, 29S
votes for Governor, and they might easily have
defeated the amendment had they been so dis
posed as only about 10000 votes were cast for
it. The total vote against the two years amend
ment was some II 600. The Democrats geoer-
ally stayed away from the polls, or voted for the
amendment. The out-and-Out lNepuDliCdll9 WIN
took the trouble TO 90 to the election, very yen
orally voted against the proposition. 1t iounC
