A Singular Case of Hanging.

Mrs Betsey P. Eastman, of Salisbury, N. H.,
died in that town few days ago, in her one
hundred and fifth year. She was supposed to be
the oldest person in the State. An incident
connected with her life is worthy of mention.
Soon after the execution of Mrs Surratt in
Washington, person accidentally mentioned
the fact in Mrs Eastman's presence, when she
Immediately exclaimed, with solemn emphasis
Il was the means of woman's being hung once" +"
She referred to the execution of Ruth Blay, which
occurred at Portsmouth, N. H., December 80,
1868. It appears that this woman was the
school teacher of Mrs Eastman when the latter
was about six years of age. One day, through
illness, Ruth Blay was absent, and the children
were at play. Mrs Eastman said she found
loose board in the school room floor, ant got un-
derneath the building, where she discovered a
bundle wrapped in white cloth, in which there
was dead infant The corpse proved to be the
child of her teacher, who was arrested for
murder, convicted, and hung. A reprieve came
for her ON the day of fexecution, but Sheriff Pack
er wanted warm dinner, and swung her off a
few minutes before the appointed time. Cir
cumstances afterwards seemed prove that Ruth
Blays child was stil-born and that she was not
a murderess. .1..-... rs. ...--Es C.r..

Horrible Occurrence.

CFrom the Bowling Green Democrat, Oct. 5th.l /
Never in our experience has it been our duty
to chronicle an occurrence more horrid in its
details than the following, which happened in
Allen county:
Some two months since Mrs Blaekenship, a
lady lost her husband from disease
and was left with three children two interesting
boys and little infant girl: On the 10th ult,
Mrs Blackenship, for the purpose of washing
clothes, repaired to the spring branch near the
house, taking her three children with her, the
house dog following. She had been engaged in
washing but short time when the dog was
heard barking near by. Thinking that the dog
had treed raccoon or had RABBIT at bay, the
little boys proposed going to secure the game.
With the mothers consent the little fellows
they saw large object coiled at the foot ola
stump, keeping the dog at bay. The oldest of
the two boys approached first. With his face
aglow at the prospect of his prize, he said, 'I'n
get him brother" With one dart of his forked
tongue, with one death-rattle of his tail, the
huge rattlesnake-for it was nothing less-drew
back his scaly folds, and with one dart forward
planted his envenomed fangs in the flesh of the
boy. Again and again was the boy bitten, until
he fell exhausted in the coils of the monster.
The other little fellow rushed to the relief
of his brother and he also received the deadly
fangs of the serpent. The screams of the boys
alarmed the mother, and leaving her baby girl
she ran to the spot. What sight met her gaze
Putrid with poison, swollen and black, and bitten
in many places, one of her boys was already
dead, and the other dying. Overwhelmed With
an intensity of agony, she remained at the faaa1
spot short time when she bethought her of her
little girl at the branch and hurried back.
n II Al L. "a
she found that the little girl had walked to the
wash tub, into which she had fallen head fore
most and was drowned Bereft of children, and
almost of reason, she sank under the accumulated
horrors of the hour Assistance was procured
the heart-crushed woman, and the remains of her
nestlings were taken charge of and cared for.
The event created profound sensation in the
community, with scarcely parallel, even in the
exciting annals of our early and hardy pioneers
