THE News FRoM MExIco.--The most import
ant feature of news by the last mail from Vera
Cruzis the total dsfeat of The Church party, in
Mexico. Mrsmon has been vanqushed and
taken prisoner by the Liberals under Zuolaga,
and Rsmir.z has been defeated by Gen, Orte-
ga. (Liberal) This turn Of affairs, we trust.
render the condition ofAmsi'icsns and Ameri.
can property somewhat more tolerabls than
has hitherto been the case in Mexico. It Gao
scarcely be possible. says the New York Er-
press. that The Church party will soon be in
the ascendency again, inasmuch as their lead
ers. together with their principal army, are
now in the hands and at the mercy Of the Lib
eral army. Neither is il probable that the
Liberals will les 60 the hold which they have
thus obtained upon the government. The civil
war which is now raging in the Northern Mex.
lean States may terminate in the establishment
of an independent government, alter the ex-
ample set BY Texas in 1886 and, in time. these
States, 10 all human probability, will be under
the necessity of asking protection of, and an.
nexation to this country. Their Surroundings
would seems TO point to some such state of
facts.

Execution of Harden
Secretary.

Rev. ]. s. Harden, who, few months
since, was tried for poisoning his wife, and con.
victed, was executed on Friday last, 9th inst,
at Belvidere. N. J. The following is an ac-
count of the execution
The crowd about the door was such that it
was almost impossible for the military to keep
them at bay with guns loaded and capped aud
swords drawn. The ja.l-yard, about fifty feet
square, and the four north windows were
crowded with those reporters and others to
whom the Sheriff had issued tickets. At ten
minutes past ten o'clock the clergy went into
the cell, and the counsel of the prisoner, who
were again taking leave of him, came out
The barns and sheds about were covered with
crowd, hallooing and shouting. who had paid
for their seats; some of whom, perhaps, could
see the head of the prisoner over the wall.
A crash outside Indicated that one of the
sheds had fallen in. The crowd in the yard
and windows waited from IL o'clock-when
they were admitted until the final scene-with
commendable degree Of decorum; among
them were many whose faces indicated that
they realized the solemnity OF the occasion, and
were brought there by no idle curiosity. The
trees were guarded, in spite of which some
were filled to the top. Another crash outside |;

AT just half past one o'clock the solemn, ST.
lent procession of the Sheriff, Harden with his
arms pinioned and the halter about his neck,
the clergy and the physicians came forth from
the cell, aud assembled the scaffold, where some
chairs were placed. All kneIt 10 silent prayer
for four minutes; then the Sheriff stepped
down upon the drop, Harden leaning upon his
arm; he then shock hands with all upon the
scsffold and said "good bye;'' the Sheriff
calmly but sadly adjusted the rope and put the
black cap over his head; after whispering 10

bis hand and descended to the end of the scaff.
old.
Harden dropped the handkerchief az sig
nal; the sheriff cut the cord. the drop noise
lessly fell, and all turned their heads away,
utierIng groans, and some bursting into tears
for three minutes bis body was more or less
| convulsed, his legs being drawn up and down,
and his shoulders jerking backward and for
ward after that oil was still. There was lit.
tie or no quiyering Of nerves. He fell about A
feet, not uliering sound. After I minutes his
pulse ceased AT twelve minutes past two, the
rope was loosened and he was let down.
Thus endeth the last chapter of history
which we may vainly hope will never be re-
peated. Before the execution, Harden told
the Sheriff to aget strong rOpes--that he
wanted no breaking"
Harden's confession will not, probably, ever
be made public. He has sent il to his father
who is to use his discretion about its publica-
ton. His father is fine, respectable old JUS
tice Of the peace, and il is not probable that he
will permit il to 60 before the public. He has
confessed in. detail 10 his counsel and spiritual
advisers, all Of whom,it is said, say they will
never make it public.

few days since, we found them as busy
as bees, manufacturing and shipping
their celebrated Plows, for which the
demand has increased to such an ez-
tent that they are about to enlarge
their factory by erecting new buildings
adjoining those now in use. They give
steady employment to between 40 and
80 hands, and their sales last year
amounted to over 500, 900, being larger
than those of any other similar ostab.

mending them to our farmers as excel

says:
The latest dispatches from Connect

the Republicans have carried that State
by less thau 1000 majority. The Leg.
islaturo is largely Republican. This is
a glorious victory. It was a hard
fought battle Every inch Of ground
was 6srcely contested. Money was
freely spent by the sham Democracy.
and every argument that could be used
was brought TO bear to change the po.
litical complexion oftho State. But the
freemen Of Connocticut-th the hardy sons
Of New England--met and conquered
the enemy.
