Yes, and in Ohio, six years ago, i

George Ellis Pugh that broke the spell
of despotism. The defiance he hurled
at Burnside and his miserable minions, il
June, 1868, was worthy of Hampden, O
John Adams, or of Patrick Henry. l

THOMAS D. CARR

Was then brought in. There was a
death-like stiffness In the Court room,
and the countenance of the entire audi
ence wore that sad look as when attend
ing funeral. He was dressed in dark
clothes, with white handkerchief around
his neck; short moustache; his hair
cut quite short, and brushed smooth
His face, though pale, was full, and he
looked quite hearty. Has keen gray
eye. There was more solemnity about
his general appearance than during the
trial, but received his sentence with sto-
ical indifference, and without shudder.
A motion for new trial had been filed and
argued by his counsel Messrs. Swaney
and Cowen, which being disposed of, he
was directed to stand up, and being ask
ed if he had anything to say why the
sentence of the law should not be pro.
nounced, he shook his head. The Court,
with much feeling, slowly pronounced
the awful penalty Of the law, as fol
lows;
Thomas D. CARA jury of your fel,
low citizens, almost selected by yourself,
upon their oaths, have found you guilty
of the wilful, deliberate, premeditated
and malicious murder of LOUISA G. Fox.
In our Judgment the verdict is fully
warranted by the evidence in the case,
and accords with the truth. The undis-
puted facts proven present case of
more than ordinary enormity-without
being alleviated by single mitigating g
circumstance.
Your victim, child in years, because
she refused to marry you, was murdered
in a most shocking manner-her head
being almost severed from her body.
Your sole and only defense-that of
moral insanity, ably and eloquently urg-
ed by your counsel upon the trial, failed
to convince the jury that you should be
acquitted The testimony upon this sub
ject, with its most favorable construction,
only tended to prove that you were petu-
liant, ill-natured, irritable, of nervous
temperament, and possessed Of heart
fatally bent on mischief
The jury upon their oaths have con-
scientiously discharged their duty. No
effort has been spared to obtain an ac-
quittal, by the able and learned counsel
assigned for your defense.
The verdict Of the jury imposes a
painful duty upon the Court; but, in the
administration of the law it must be per-
formed
Our law givers-those having it in
their power to direct and govern socie-
| ty, have determined that justice requires
that ''whosoever sheddeth mans blood,
by man shall his blood be shed; !" not in
the spirit of vengeance. but that Others
Darned by the example may be afraid to
commit crime.
Your unfortunate victim cannot be re-
stored to life by any tears of repentance,
or by any contrition of heart. The
CRIME you have committed can only be
expiated by the judgment of the law. 1t
is :: That you be taken from hence to the
jail of the county, and that you be safely
kept. That on Friday, the Goth day of
August, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine,
you be taken to the place of execution,
and between the hours of nine O'Clock in
the morning and four o'clock in the after
noon Of that day, that you be hanged by
the neck until you are dead.
May God have mercy on you!

The Second that has Ever Been
Pronounced In this County.
He is to be Hanged Friday, Aug, 20.

Some 25 years ago Judge Kennon
pronounced the death sentence on Geo.
Weeks for the murder of Edward W GODS
which was commuted by the Cover
nor to Imprisonment for life and the
prisoner died in the penitentiary
On Thursday morning last it being
understood that the Court would pass
sentence on the criminals convicted at
this term-the Court room was well
filled.
At 9 O'Clock the Court directed the
Sheriff to bring into Court Henry Luke
hart, who had been convicted of Grand
Larceny-in stealing $40 in motley. He
looked to be about Il years old-dark-
eyed, dark skinned, brown hair, round
face, and we'll made Mr.. Tallman, his
Attorney, filed motion for new trial,
and ably argued the same, claiming that
the verdict was against the evidence
that the only evidence produced to the
jury placed the value of the money in
gold and silver at less than S35. The
Court overruled the motion and directed
the prisoner to stand up and receive his
sentence. He made no reply when ask,
ed if he had anything to say why SEN
tence of the law should not be pronounc-
ed. The Court then sentenced him to
one year at hard labor, and to pay the
costs Of prosecution. He was then re
manded to prison.
Louis Benton Drake, who was convic-
ted at this term for forgery in obtaining
81 200 from the ST. Clairsville Bank on
draft some months since, was then
brought into Court He came in with q
graceful step. Is a fine looking young
man-black eyes, black hair, about six
feet high, slim, was tastily dressed, In
reply to the Court said he had nothing to
say why the sentence of the law should
not be passed upon him. Mr.. Umstead,
had filed.a motion for a new trial, which
had been argued and disposed Of The
Court sentenced him to five years in the
penitentiaty at hard labor, and to pay
the costs of prosecution. He retired
from the Court room looking to carry
with him a heavy heart-no doubt think
ing that the way of the transgressor is
hard.

the following, which. he says, can be au1
thenticated by the best medical testimony {:
-"About min months since a~idaughter of
one Mr.. Collins, living a few miles north
west of this city, was suddenly taking with
a violent aching Of the first double tooth in
the upper left jaw. This continued for some
ten days or two weeks, growing more fyio.A
lent, although the usual remedies were adj
ministered, until, as it seemed, the little
girl (only nine years old) would be driven
crazy. The girl slept in the same room
with her parents, but in a separate bed
One night her father was aroused by her
frantic screams of pain, and, running to his
bedside, the girl told him that the tooth had
dropped out, holding it out in her hand as
proof. The pain, however, did mot cease,
and it was only a day or two before an e1-
animation Of the jaw revealed the growth Of
something that like a boil in the place of the
tooth. In a couple Of weeks the father be-
came alarmed at the strange appearance o.
the swelling, and brought his daughter to
this city for medical examination. This
resulted in establishing the fact that a can
