A STATE PRIsON SCENE'-The Gov>
eruor of New Uamyshirc recently
visited the State Prison at Concord, and
after viewing the building requested
the warden 10 bring a certain prisoner
into the room, In short time Mr..
Mayo and the man entered and took
their position in the middle of the com.
pany. The convic was, Of course,
astonished to find himself ushercd into
so large gathering, in which there
were some twenty ladies, Including the
wife Of his Excellency. The Governor
rose, took the man by the hand, and
spoke substantially as followes " Ny
friend, about twelve months ago you
were committed to this prison for five
years for the alleged crime of passing
counterfeit money. Soon after your
incarceration circumstances came to
light tending to prove that, although a
counterfeit bill passed through your
hands, it was used by you in an limo,
cent manner, and that you were unwit-
tingly the dupe of a scounderal, who
fled The State, and has never been ar
rested. l immediately ordered a full
Investigation OF your case, and | am
thoroughly convinced that you are an
innocent man and serving out an un.
just sentence. The Constitution of the
State gives me the power to open the
doors Of this prison, and in the lawful
exercise Of that power now grant you
a full and free pardon. This very hour
the warden will relieve you of a con-
vict's uniform and give you citizens
dress. You have been a good man
within these walls, and while | and my
friends here live we will everywhere
bear testimony that your imprisonment
leaves no stain upon your character.
A dear vile and loving sister have
prayed for your release, and | now re.
store you to their hands" AS the Gov
ernor closed his remarks the poor man,
overjoyed with happiness, trembling in
every limb, and his face Was wet with
tears. Not a person in the audience
looked unmoved upon the scene. All
present congratulated the prisoner upon
his just release, and wished him har-
ny and prosperous future.
