To Be HUNG.-Eary tomorrow morning
the four negro men, William Platter, Thomas
Davis, William Henry Jones and Henry Luck
eft. who murdered the late William Lyles, on
the night of tie 18th Of last July, and robbed
his residence, will, if the sentence Of the court
respecting them is executed, be hung at Up
ner Marlboro, the county seat OF Prince
Georges, Maryland, in which county the crime
for which they are condemned, was committed
Our correspondent at Marlboro will furnish US
with an account Of the quadrupled execution,
which, but only In obedience to the require
ments Of newspaper readers nowadays, we will
publish. The Marlboro Gazette says: The
scaffold on which the five condemned men are
to be executed in this village on Friday next
has been erected On the northwest side Of the
Courthouse. The criminals have been regu-
lsrly visited, since sentence was passed, by the
Rev. Mr.. Kershaw, who has administered such
religious instruction and advice as their condl
ton required While they expressed thanks
for bis attention, we learn that they have
evinced but little contriton, and have remained
somewhat taciturn and stoical. In the absence
of the minister they occupy much Of their time
in singing hymns When the undertaken took
the measure on Monday for their collins only
one Of them showed that he fully realized his
awful situation and nearness to the gates of
death. The man Platter shed tears and seemed
greatly distressed--the others were callous. A
strong armed guard has been summoned by
the sheriff, and the painful sentence Of the law
will no doubt be carried out with due So

tanned the promised " smasheT :" and on the

Down sat the indignant man Of cards, crossed
