GENEALoGY OF THE BROWN FAMILY.-The
Cleveland Leader, having been at some pains
to trace the genealogy and family relations
of old John Brown, makes the following state
mentS
"Peter Brown, one of the Mayfower Pill
grims, landed at Plymouth, Dec. p, 1920. He
came to America single, was a carpenter by
trade, was afterward married, and died in
1888, leaving son, Peter Brown second, who
died in Windsor in October, 1892 aged 60
years, leaving four sons, Peter, John, Jonathan
and Cornelius, all of whom settled in Windsor
CT.
John, the second son of Peter Brown last
mentioned, had two sons, John and Ezra. The
eldest, John, married Hannah Owen in 1853,
and on the 23d of May, 1776, was commits
stoned by Gov. Trumbull as captain of the
Train Band of West Simsbury, Ct
In the stirring events which transpired upon
the commencement of the revolution, Captain
Brown bore prominent part, and promptly
obeyed the order of Col Pettbone, which bore
date of June IL, 1776, and required him to
convene his company and impress certain
number of soldiers for the war. The company
was raised, and Captain Brown marched with
it to New York, and there served until his
death, which took place Sept. 8, 1776. Capt.
Brown left wife and eleven children, six
daughters and five sons, all of whom are now
dead, having lived to a great age averaging
over seventy years for the whole family.
Owen Brown, the third son of the Revolu-
tionary Brown, died at Hudson, Summit coun-
ty, A. d. 1866, at the advanced age of IS years.
having resided in Ohio from and after the year
1870. He was noted as man of sterling in
tegrity and uprightness of character
John Brown of Harper's Ferry notoriety is
the son of Owen Brown. He was born at
Norfolk, Litchfeld county, Conn, in 1900, and
is consequently 90 years of age His mother,
Ruth Mills, was daughter of Lieut.. Gideon
Mills, near relative of the Hon. Samuel G.
Mills. Hannah Brown, who became the wife
of Solomon Humphrey, and the mother of He
man Humphrey, late President of Amherst
College, was sister of John Browns father.
From the old Pilgrim progenitor down to
the present day the whole race have borne a
high character for integrity, and have been
remarkable for unfaItering devotion to the
right and true"

SHOCKING Accident.

ShocAiuS 4cclucht.
We are panied to announce the sudden
and violent death of our respected fellow citi-
zen, Major Alvan Allen, who was run over by
the cars, between Mechanic and Front streets,
last evening, and instantly killed. His body
was found soon after six O'Clock lying across
the track, so badly mutilated that it was i'm
possible to identify him, till papers bearing his
name were found upon his person. 1t is sup
posed that, at the time of the accident he was
passing from Mechanic to Front street. on one
track, and, seeing an engine approaching, step
ped upon the other without noticing the train
approaching from behind. Mr.. Allen, being
little deaf, did not observe the whistle, and
the darkness of the hour prevented the engi-
neer from exercising his usual caution. The
body was removed to the office of the City Sex
ton, and jury Of inquest summoned by Coroner
Day will be held. this morning.-Major Allen
was very worthy citizen, and had filed many
positions of responsibility and trust. He came
to this city from Sturbridge about the year
1885, and was for many years mail agent
on the route between Worcester and
Hartford, until the construction of the
Western railroad He was subsequently in
the grocery business, and for several years
past had been dealer in pianotortes. He was
a member of the Common Council from Ward
Four during the first two municipal years,
acting as highway surveyor or commissioner
during that time. He was City Marshal
under Mayor Knowlton in 1858, City Au-
ditor in 1858, and member Of the Common
Council of last year, and is member of the
present School Board. He leaves wife and
several children, two of whom, Albert S. and
Benjamin d. Allen, have established reputa-
tons as teachers of music in this city and
vicinity.

JUDGE WAYNE ON THE SLAVE TRADE.-In
a charge to the grand jury at Savannah for
the November term, Mr.. Justice Wayne, of
the Supreme Court of the United States ad-
dressed the jury at length upon the subject of
the slave trade. He entered into an elaborate
examination of the history of the laws against
that traffic and showed that they rested upon
solid foundations, declaring that the constitu-
ticnal power of Congress to pass them was not
doubted, that their validity had never been i'm
pugned by any judicial decision in the Circuit
or Supreme Courts, and that they rest upon
such grounds of public morality that to abate
one line of the condemnation of the trade, or
to relax our efforts for its extirpation, would
be retrograde movement of more than CEN
fury. lie concluded by hoping that the jury,
in any cases of this sort, would show them
selves true and faithful to the constitution and
laws of the country. According to all &C.
counts, the grand jury may, if they are SO dis
posed, find some cause to inquire into the pro-
ceedings of Mr.. Lamar, the owner of the no.
torious yacht VANDERBILT vessel having
sailed on new voyage, to the African coast
as is suspected, GLIDING the government officers
as usual, and, as is supposed, by the connivance
of Mr.. Lamar-although, we believe, he claims
that TIE captain ran away with the vessel

Tie Execution of brown.

As the day of the execution of John Brown
approaches, the interest in the event grows
more intense and prevalent. The Tribune
gives the following special despatch from
Charlestown, dated 18th inst:
This place is now guarded by one thousand
troops, The circumspection is closer than
ever. No one is admitted to the jail without
a written order from Gen. Taliaferro. Brown
is engaged i'll preparing a long letter, to be
published after his death, explaining his
course, and correcting certain newspaper mis-
statements. He looks forward to his fate with
perfect composure. The other prisoners are
also occupied with correspondence. All of
them except Stephens are chained. Cook
alone fails to retain his self-possession. The
rope with which Brown is to be hung is on
exhibition at the Sherif's Office. 1t is made of
South Carolina cotton, fact which is an
nounced with glee.
A "Virginian," writing to the New York
Times, says the programme for the execution
as arranged by Governor Wise, are substan-
tally as follows =
All good citizens will be requested to alb
sent themselves from the scene and about the
scaffold; the troops, two thousand strong, will
form an immense square, with the object of
keeping the people beyond the reach of Browns
voice, should he desire to deliver an incendia-
ry speech. If Brown desires to address the
public, he must do so in writing. The soldiers
are having jolly time, at the expense of Vir-
ginia 1t will cost the Treasury quarter of a
million at least. The men all draw rations
and conferm otherwise to regular military dis
cipline.
The Charlestown correspondent of the New
York Herald writes:
The military lines will enclose mile square
around the scaffold. No civilian will be ad-
mitted inside these lines under any circum-
stances. This precaution may prevent any
remarks Brown may utter from being heard
by the spectators. Gov. Wise states that the
cause of this exclusion of spectators from the
enclosure is, that in the event of an attempted
rescue, an order to fire upon the prisoner will
be given; in which case, should there be peo-
pie within the lines, they would run the risk
of sharing Browns fate.

ELECTION BRIBERY.-The common use of
money in elections, for the direct purpose of
purchasing votes, has begun to attract public
attention in New York, and the discussion
reveals the existence of a system of corrup-
ton, startling both in its nature, and in its ex-
tent. The evil is not confined TO one party,
but is recognized as necessary resort by dis
honest men of all parties. 1t is stated on
authority not to be questioned, that in several
of the local elections in that state, it was a
common thing for an agent to be appointed on
both sides, and supplied with money for the
purpose of buying the votes OF those who
hang round the polls for the purpose of being
bought This vile and corrupt huckstering
was not confined to cities, and to the sediment
of their population, but extended into the rural
districts, where welltodo farmers, whose pro-
ductiye acres supplied them all the comforts
of life, deliberately awaited the approach of a
purchaser in the neighborhood of the polls.
The Commercial Advertiser states that in
many cases quarter dollars were used, ten dol
lars worth of which would secure thirty or
forty votes. The Albany Argus reports one
case in which the candidate, being of an eco
nominal turn, filled his pocket with ten cem
pieces, and went to the polls as he would to
market. The average price of votes was con-
siderably larger, ranging from two to five dol
lars. Strange as it may seem, it appears to
have grown into kind of system, in defiance
both of the moral sentiment of the commu-
nifty and of statute law. 1t is proposed to
appoint committees of investigation upon va
rious matters of public corruption in Congress
during the approaching session, while some
of those who sit in judgment upon them may
have obtained their seats through dishonorabe
means, which would never bear the light

Rev. j. c. LovEJoY IN DIsTREss.-This
eminent patriot and citizen, having left his
agreeable duties in the Custom House, and
his shady retreat in Cambridge, visited Wash
ington, last week, and was much struck with
the spectacle of Gov. Wise marching through
the city at the head of five hundred men, arm
ed for fight, to repel threatened invasion from
sister state, and expresses his feelings in the
columns of the Constitution newspaper He
kisses the hand which feeds him with very ex.
cellent grace, and libels his native state with
an excess of auiacity which is undoubtedly
very gratifying to the seditious and disordery
mob who are melting more serious trouble
than any which has yet been experienced
