EAsrpORT, June n, 1869.
Dr. T. SlSoSToN-Dear Sir: In reply to your
letter inquiring the best way of converting fish ma
teria into good fertilizers, will state that there are
several good methods. Your inquiries relate CHIEF:

entire fish, as well as the remains of them are pre-
pared i'll the same way.

EXECUTION OF A VERMONT MURDERER
WINDSOR, JUNE 2j, 1869.


Hiram Miller was executed here to-day for
the murder of Mr.. and Mrs Joshua g. Gowen,
of Ascutneyyille, on July 23d. 1867. He was
sentenced and committed to State Prison here
June 18th, 1868. From that day until Wed
nesday night he was cheerful and resigned
to his fate, but his resignation proved to have
resulted from his Ignorance. He was very
illiterate. Wednesday night he began to re-
aliZe that he was near his death, and was very
restless. Yesterday Miller was completely
broken down, and took very little food during
the day. He last night was also a restless
one. At midnight he devoured pie sent in
by the keeper. At three O'Clock this morning
ne fell asleep, but awoke al halt-past four
o'clock and at seven he ate hearty break
fast and was quite jocose. He said that the
extra quality of the provender received dur
ing the preceding days had astonished his
belly, and made him lose sleep He said that
they wouldn't get anything out of him. He
but soon resumed his Jokes. During the fore
noon of to-day Miller was very weak, and it
was feared that he would have TO be carried to
the gallows. He fell asleep, however at II
o'clock, and appeared better At noon the
guards room was cleared, and at one O'Clock
about fifty persons were admitted TO the prison
hall. Mr.. Gowen and wife, cousins of the
murdered couple. We're among those present

then read a prayer and asked the prisoner

ened Miller's hands and arms and asked the
prisoner if he had anything to say. The pris-
oner answered II have not but if any one
is present whom l have injured, hope they
will forgive me. MY hopes are in God All
mighty" The Sheriff then adjusted the black
cap and the prisoner said: Il wish to say one
word. There are men before me who have
sworn to lie-God knows that God is my
strength to-day. l wish you all goodbye
gentleman" The Sheriff saying that the
time for the execution had come, exclaimed: :
May God have mercy on your SOUL" and
launched Miller into eternity. The drop fell
at a quarter past one o'clock There was not
the least motion after the fall, and no quiver-
ing. His pulse ceased beating in l 1 minutes
but the body hung q minutes, the toes with
in two inches of the bottom of the gallows.
His neck was completely dislocated. The
Doctors were Stiles and Clark, of Windsor

had two wives living. One Of them has
