When he commenced to write he was
a little Hurried, but when he ceased he
was as calm and collected as though hav>
ing written cheerfully to his relatives, in
stead of announcing his speedy death.
He looked around upon his captors with
a clear eye and steady mien, though with
a lock indicative of the hate he bore for
those upon whom he had long wsrred. A
wagon was standing upon the bridge, to
which he was conducted and into which
he leaped by placing his hands upon the
BOX. His feet had been tied while he |
vas writing his letter. and he was soon
swung into eternity.
