SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE.--Mess-
ner, the Rochester murderer, received the
news OF the suspension Of sentence ut 10
o'clock Friday morning, only a few hours
before the time fixed for his execution
Sheriff Sunderland at that hour entered
his cell, accompanied by Messner's spirit
ual adviser and some other gentlemen,
and approaching him whispered in hir ear
until it was explained to him in German,
when he shed tears, shook ha2ds with his
friends, and kissed Deputy United States
Marshal Scott. Sitting down in chair,
he said he did not fear to die; he was pre-
pared. He might not be so we'll prepared
in the future as now. He had no desire
to live, but was grateful to his friends for
what they had done for him. But little
doubt exists in Rochester as to his guilt,
yet the community were greatly relieved
on learning that the execution had been
stayed. Messner murdered his wife after
practicing towards her series of cruelties
so severe that she had determined to
leave him. On Monday morning,
April 18th, 1868, Messner persuad-
ed her to accompany him home, and
there she was murdered Maaaner ex-
planned her death by saying that while
she was climbing into his wagon her foot
slipped, and her head striking the frozen
ground or some other hard substance,
broke her skull. He carried her into the
house insensible, placed her on bed, and
after some time called the neighhors She
never recovered consciousness after the
neighbors came. On the premises was
found mallet stained with blood, and
the corners Of the mallet fitted into the
lamentations in Mrs. Messner's bonnet
The theory on which Messner was con.
victed was that he murdered her while
she was preparing to go away and then
carried her into the house and invented
the story of the accident. His trial took
place on the 18th of last April, just one
year from the time of the murder, and re-
suited in his conviction and sentence to be
hung on the 14th of June last. By efforts
of counsel writ of error was argued and
new trial refused, whereupon he was
ressntenced to be hung on the 10th Of
December. Should another trial be now
denied, he will have to dismiss all hope
as Gov. Hoffman has firmly refused to in.

ham of Bakersfield, from Is cows, made
during the dairy season just closed, go
tubs or 5000 lbs. of butter. He sold it

He also raised ten calves, now worth 500.
and 1000 pounds of pork, which he sold
for $l30-making as the proper income Of
the dairy $3.50, besides supplying his

Mr.. Brigham is a correct farmer. He

drives his work and is not driven by it
will find it true.
