AN EXECUTION IN CAEADA.-Thom.
as Cook was executed at Woodstock,
Canada, on Tuesday last, for the mur.
der Of bis wife in July last. The Lon.
don Free Press says:
At no part of the trying ordeal did
Cooks manhood forsake him. and he
stepped from the prison on his way to
the gallows with surprising firmness.--
On reaching The seaHold, the condemn
ed man was placed at once on the drop,
the rope adjusted about his neck. and
all was ready for the fatal fall. Cook
remained for a moment engaged in
prayer, when, at given signal. the
bolt was drawn, and with the swiitness
of thought the unhappy man fell
through the trap. The fall WAS a very
long one. the rope being nine feet four
inches in length. 1t was now that the
unlocked for and horrible scene which
sickened all who beheld it took place
The fall being so great, and the mans
body being in diseased condition, the
vertabre and muscles connecting the
head with the shoulders gave way,
and, terrible to relate. the head rolled
off. while the body fell. with a heavy
plunge, into the interior of the scat
fold!
The life blood Of the criminal po ur-
ed out in lived streams from the head
less trunk. while the torn muscles and
gaping arteries presented a sickening
spectacle The crowd. seeing the body
disappear from their view, and the rope
swaying to and fro, at once supposed
that some catastrophe had occurred, but
it was not for a few moments that the
real nature of the horror became
known. When it was bruiIed around
that the man whom they had but few
minutes before seen alive on the scaf-
fold was now mangled and headless
corpse, thrill Of horror seemed to set
tie upon all. For lew minutes the
body lay as it fell. the authorizes ap-
parenrly shrinking from the task of
touching the mnrderer's remains. ..
The body was at length put into
coffin and delivered to Mr. Brown, a
near relative of Cooks first wife,
Brown was. strange to say. present in
the capacity of special constable
The medical theory relative to the sew
erarce o. the head from the body is not
easily explained. High authority on
the spot attributed this result to Cooks
emaciaied condition. The effects Of
dissipation and bad liviag combined, and
to the diseased state OF the body. Be
that as it may. the drop that caused
Cleary at Ssrnia to die in agony. sent
Cook, without a psng, headless into
eterniiyl That our readers may un.
derstand something of the wretched
man beyond the narrative given above,
we may remark that ignorance. and
an uncomfortable temper, the vice Of
and bad company, step
BY step, led him on to the crime for
which he suffered. Considering his
infrmities, the ends Of justice merely
closed a-hfe of infamy by disgraceiul
death. scarcely less terrible than that
which, in all probability, must have
been the late at no very distant day, of
Thomas Cook.

Waynesborough, Pennsylvania, and was a
good rebel. lie had voted for Breckenridge,
and now loved jeff Davis while he detest.
ed Lincoln and abolitionists. They listen
cd attentively, and at the close took twelve
horses, and brought Simon to Hagerstown,
where they insisted on his joining the army.
Mr.. Beard. of the same place, devout Da-
Wis worshipper, told them the same story.
He owned but one horse. Two scouts took
the animal, but said that inasmuoh as Mr..
b. was good confederate, they would re-
store the horse upon the receipt Of ten dol
lars in greenbacks. He gave the money
and received the halter of the horse into
his own hands. But another scout rode up
and claimed ten dollar interest in the
horse. He was about to take him along,
when Mr.. B. handed him the money with
a groan, and received his quadruped from
the hands Of scout number two. Ere five
minutes had elapsed, another rebel rode the
animal away.

BURLINGTON, July z, 1868,
Tuesday Evening.
MR.. EDITOR, PRO TEN. never trav-
eied when everybody was so jubilant as to-
day. Arriving at Rutland from Bellows
Falls, dispatch had just been received that
Nicksburg had surrendered Arriving at
Middebury, the bells were ringing, and
cannon roaring, and the long shrill whistle
OF our iron horse joined in the joyful chorus.
There we were informed that an official dis
patch had been received at Washington that
Vicksburg had surrendered, sure! AT this
place the news boys were all shouting the
same thing, and began 10 think had got
into Vicksburg myself l Judge that the
frst'week's work in July has depleted the
rebel armies at least fifty thousand men,
glory enough for one week. certainly, and
the Fourth OF July has been baptized anew.
Many have already arrived to attend the
Convention, and the attendance tomorrow
promises to be large. l notice many faces
whom | have usually met at our State Con-
ventions, are absent. They are in the
army, doing better service, for their coun-
try. Judge Collamer, Gen. Phelps, Hon.
Z. L. Woodbridge, DIR. Powers, and other
distinguished Vermonters have already ar
rived
There seems to be no doubt that John
Gregory Smith, of St. Albans, will be the
nominee for Governor, and he will make a
good one. Bat the business of the Con-
vention is very little talked of, everybody
being absorbed in the good news.
But amid all the good news, there is
much sadness, as the details come in of our
own loss, and mourning must be carried to
many of our Green Mountain homes. Since
arrived here / regret TO learn the loss of
the I'd Vermont Brigade in killed and
wounded is over 800. / trust this will
prove an exaegeration. General Stannard
himself, was wounded, but not dangerous.
This news is from dispatch sent by Gen'l
Stannard to his wife, and the loss falls on
the 18th, 18th, and 10th, the 18th and 18th
not being in action. A.. N. S.

How the Rebels Treated the Penn
sylvania COpperheads.

The manner in which the rebels, in their
late invasion, treated the Pennsylvania cop
perheads is instructive, and shows the utter
contempt in which they have always held
northern doughfaces.
George Booker, Pennsylvania State
senator, who lives at Pagestown. about nine
miles from Harrisburg, was visited by his
friends from Dixie. He is known as one
of the most violent coppcrheads in the leg
islature, When he heard the rebels were
coming, he said he did not care-they were
gentlemen, and respected private property.
They collected in front of his house, and he
came out and made little speech. lie
said that he sympathized with them, that
the rebellion was justified and the war uu-
just, that it was all the abolilionists. &c. in
the usual style of copperheads. Whereup-
on the rebels Immediately proceeded to give
him benefit. They took all his horses
and cattle, all the flour and grain from his.
mill, which is large one, and was, unfor-
tunately for him, very wei! stocked, and, in
fact, cleaned him GU" most completely.
