AN INTERESTING BUILDING.-There is q
building in Boston, on Washington-street,
opposite Milk, which was built in the year
1856, and is consequently two hundred and
four years old. The store on Dock Square,
which is often called the oldest building in
Boston, Was not erected until thirty-four
years later. The timber of which the old
building opposite the Old South Church is
built, is oak, and was cut within short dis
tance of that spot, and is still sound. The
house was occupied during the administration
of the Royal Governor Hutchinson by his
Secretary of State, and for many years the
elite of Boston were its welcome guests.
Washington honored the mansion with his
presence, and dined as theguest of the family
who occupied it during the Revolution; and
almost the last time the lamented Warren
dined in Boston, before the battle at Bunker
Hill, it was in this venerable building. After
the Revolution, IL became noted as the most
fashionable dancing hall in Boston. The Old
Povince House, on the next estate south of
the above, the walls of which are standing,
was built in the year 1879.

The Maci.Inaw pfaii Carried BY 1oai.

The Bay City Press, of late date, has the
following: -.. H
During the quiet Of the past winter, when
the whistles of steafhets afid saw-u1ills were
no longer heard, the most remarkable arriv-
ais at Bay City were those of what is called
the Mackinaw mail. IL contained the United
States mail from the Upper Peninsula and
along shore.
Happening at the postofice, not long since,
we Witnessed one of these arrivals. There
appeared two dogs harnessed in tandem,
neatly caparisoned and drawing after them a
long sled, not unlike in shape to the iron of
d skate, except that II was broad. BY their
side walked two half-breed Indians, rather
fancifully dressed, having their caps and
clothing ornamented with beads, after the
fashion of the Northern Indians, who are
said to be unsurpassed in that kind of work.
The harness of the dogs was so arranged that
bells could be suspended over the shoulders.
The freight consisted Of camping materials,
provisions and the mail-bags and their con-
tents. The bells were put on in accordance
with the fashion of sleighing, and, as we
suppose, to give cheerful warning TO those
on their bleak route of the arrival of the
long-looked-for letter. The carriers had with
them the broad and light snow-shoe, ready
for use when they crossed the deep and
uTllteu SHOW upon tne mOre nOrInern pOT-
tions of their route.
The best track for travel they could find at
that time was upon the western shore Of
Lake Huron. These half-breed Indian mail
carriers are remarkable for the distnctness
with which they speak the English language,
their intelligence and their power Of endur-
ance. One of them told us when they ar
rived, about nine o'clock in the evening,
that they had walked, since they rose that
morning the distance of eighty miles, and
that they would get up the next morning at
four o'clock and travel the same distance be-
fore night. We asked if small horse or
pony would not aid them when the ice
was sufficiently strong, He replied that no
ordinary horse would endure such travel
ing-that he would soon break down. The
distance from Saute Ste. Marie to Bay City
is three hundred and sixty miles. These mail
carriers often travel it in six days, averaging
sixty miles per day. The weight of their
mail in returning exceeds that brought down,
as the latter contains no newspapers. The
dogs endure their long trips without much
appearance of fatigue. They are fed chiefly
on "mush," made from corn meal, carried
upon the sled. This food makes less bulk
than any other kind. 'r -- ....

KEEN SATIRE OF RURALIsT.--At a ball

engaged a pretty coquette for the next dance,

Particulars Of tho Bxeeutioh Of 6rinimin,
in New York.

The telegraph has already mentioned the
execution Of John Orimnins, btt Friday s
New York Evening IDst gives these partic-
ulars:
John Orimmins, who was tried and con-
victed, some two months since, of the murder
OF Dennis McHenry, was executed in the yard
OF the. City Prison at quarter past nine
o'clock to-day,
This case has attracted comparatively little
public attention; but there are many circum-
stances connected with the history of the
case, which can but mitigate the rigor of pub
inai.
The wife of Crimmins kept store in Pell-
street. Between McHenry and Crimmins
there was quarrel Of some three months
standing, and the latter heard, on the 10th of
October last, that the former was coming to
his place TO destroy his property. McHenry
came, and q violent alteration ensued. He
went out after applying various disgraceful
epithets to Mrs. Crimmins, and commenced
throwing stones at Crimmins' windows. The
latter was, of course, exasperated and when
one of these missiles fell within an inch of his
cbild's head, he rushed into back room,
brought out a musket which he had pre-
viously used upon a target excursion, and,
with the bayonet fixed, pursued McHenry
him, and inflicted four stabs upon the person
Of the PROSTATE man. He then returned to
his house, put away the weapon, and awaited
his arrest.
The wounded man was conveyed to the
City Hospital, where, after two days ofintense
suffering, he died. The Grand Jury on the
7th of November indicted Crimmins. At his
trial in February he was convicted, but the
jury feeling that there were circumstances
fIaka al L. l. .c,o
ishment, although finding him guilty, recon-
mended him to mercy.
The criminal was but twenty-four years of
age, and had heretofore been considered a
quiet, inoffensive man. He was not addicted
to intemperance, and during his confinement
has been faithfully attended by his wife. who
seemed fondly attached to him. Executive
clemency had been invoked for him, but
vainly. r r-r b..
NIGHT BEFORE THE EXECUTION.
The prisoner was visited by his children in
the cell yesterday afternoon; this morning
he had an interview with his wife. Atabout
one o'clock this morning, Captain Bowling,
who has been very attentive TO the condemned
man, visited him, having received tele-
graphic dispatch from Albany, and informed
him of the Governors positive and final re-
fusal to grant reprieve, or to interfere in
any manner with the execution of the law.
Up to that time, he had entertained some
hope Of a reprieve, at least, yet he had not
permitted this hope to take such hold of his
mind that he experienced much disappoint-
ment when he heard that his last application
had been refused.
During most of the night, he was attended
by his spiritual advisers, Fathers Duranquet,
Mignard and Sanguinnetti. He professed
perfect faith and designations; and, also, o de-
sire TO be executed at an early hour. 70
The interview with his wife occurred very
early this morning, after which the priests
stayed with him constantly until the fatal
hour arrived. cl .0iE7

HE ALLsToN EXHIBITIoN.-The second week of
the exhibition of paintings at the Alston Rooms is
nearly over, and although the attendance has been
on the increase, have reason to believe that the
public are scarcely yet aware how beautiful and
choice collection of works of art is open for their
enjoyment. The landscape artists of our own coun-
try are finely represented. In the first panel and
worthy of the first mention, is cool and delicious
"Study from Nature" by the veteran Durapd.
which the artist sent from its place in his own par
lor In compliment to the "Alston." Pendant to
TINS is lovely midsummer spot-"Behind the Viii
lage, by Bellows; and next to this romantic
spot IN ordsworth's neighborhood "Rydal
Falls" by Kensett whose pencil has all the power
of truth in the delineation of rocks. Below we
find a noble sea-coast view-"Mt Desert Maine
Storm Clearing Off," by VIM. Hart who has also
contributed several smaller works-one of exaui-
site beauty-"October in the White Mountains"
Lake George Scene, by Shattuck, gives with a
great deal of quiet sentiment and beauty, an as
spect of nature not often painted, an Eastern sky
at sunset. The moon rises in a sky glowing with
the reflected hues from the West while land and
lake lie in the cool gray twilight. In the centre
of this panel is figure which alone will repay
a visit to the exhibition, "Mary Magdalen at the
Door of the Sepuchre," by Oerte. In conception
and color, it reminds of AIRY Schaffer but more
womanly, more human, and consequently more
touching, than anything we have seen from that
great artist. 'The Convalescent," by Louis Lang,
on lower line, is painted with great refinement
and feeling; and in the same room ''Faith," by
Baker, is a female head of great beauty and ex-
preston. The landscapes of Jervis McEntee, an
artist who has sprung into recent celebrity, are
also worthy of particular attention He delights
in the sombre hues of the late autumn and twi-
light, which he depicts with fervor of sentiment
we have never seen surpassed. "The Deserted
Homestead" is one of his smaller works. ruined
mansion, in lonely twilight, the easement reflect
ing the last red hues of sunset-"in mockery of
It's olden cheers" tangled burial-place in the
ioreground-are the simple elements that compose
the picture, but its weird and ghostly effect is in
describable. In the back parlor hangs another
picture, by the same artist-"The Last of the Corn
Harvest which has steadily added to the number
OF Its enthusiastic admirers; and opposite are two
truly American landscapes, "Morning on Loon
Lake and Evening" by James NJ. Hart, which
are of the very first order of merit.

THE STATE TOBACCO WAREHoUsEs.-We noticed,
in our isade of yesterday, that meeting of tobacco
planters of Prince Georges county was called for
the purpose of giving expression to their opinions
on the subject of the removal of the State tobacco
warehouse business to deep water. In the st.
Mary's Beacon, of the Oath inst, we find comm.
nication from the Commissioners to Messrs. Mil
burn & Langly, tobacco commission merchants
Of this city, requesting them to give their opin-
ion of the state of feeling in the city and State
towards the late act o: the Legislature, author
izing the sale of the property. These gentlemen
replied in long communication, from which we
make the following extracts
"When all the circumstances and facts are taken
into consideration we are forced to the conclusion
that little or no good, in any particular can result
from the removal of the houses to deep water while

conclusive reasons why they should not be removed
