tions of the different churches met at Glebe Street
Church in the morning, and the services were dlW-

EyEcuT1oN-Friday the LIST Of March, WAS the
day appointed by. Judge DAwXNs for Horace
Greeley, the murderer Of Mr.. B. IS. RHErr, to e1-
plate his crime by death. Murders have, unfortu-
nately, become too frequent, and, in the present
case, it was one perpetrated so deliberately and
avowed so boldly, that there is no extenuaticn.
The prisoner received the fairest Of all trials,
was defended by the ablest counsel, and found
guilty by an intelligent jury. He hadan abundant
time to prepare for death, and has evidently nerv-
ed himselffor that dread event. The hanging will
be strictly private, none being allowed to enter the
jail yard but the officials. @e;3gE7

win be rejoiced to learn that the Hbernian Hall

concert, to come off on Monday night next a

in the city has been secured and all who appreciate
melody should hasten to secure seats. These

Of cur daily Life, and should be attended by every

charge of Conductor RoUMulAT, was passing So
ciety street on it's downward trip, the horses be-
came restive and one Of them by 9 free use Of his
heels prostrated his companion. maneuvre Of
this description naturally put stop to all pro-
gress and the breaking of the pole added some
what to the perplexity, but the car was command
ed by an experienced uoyageur, and the difficulty
was soon remedied. The car was removed to the
upper track and WAS attached to the next one pass
ing, and probably for the first time since the for
nation of the road train Of cars was upon it.
This little contretemps only served to show the
public that they may travel on the cars and fear no
evil. Accidents are rare and are easily repaired;
the conductors are thoroughly fat in their oc-

pole was soon substituted for the broken one, and
Mr. RouML1AT, with q fresh team, was on the
route before his absence had been noted.
