The glbbet and the hangman have lust ri,l
the world of brace of hardened wretches in
Pennsylvania. On Wednesday, Albert Won
Bodenburg and Gottlieb Bohner alias Dutch
Charley, suffered the extreme penalty OF the
law for the murder of Peter Peightal, farm
er OF huntingdon, Pa, his wife, and !, little
boy who lived with them. After their CON
viction, Bohner's principal study was how to
escape death on the gallows; he feigned
sleep on one occasion, and, while the guards
back was turned, sprang upon him with the
force and ferocity ola tiger, and with Il screw
taken from his bedstead knocked him NOM
entarily senseless; the desperate man then
rushed through the corridor to q cot on which
the Deputy Sheriff usually slept, and where
a loaded pistol was always kept, but before
securing the murderous weapon the guard,
recovering, was upon him; a desperate fight
ensued with varying success, until the arrival
of prisoner on the scene, who with q large
iron poker beat the murderer over the head,
until, from sheer exhaustion he succlmbed,
and was taken back to his cell. When led
out for execution, both prisoners assembled the
scaffold with firm tread, but, when the plat
form was reached, Bodenburg was noticed to
culver considerably. Relig ious exercises
were gone through with, occupying quar-
ter of an hour. In the meantime their feet
had been bound, and both men placed on the
drop. At this moment Bodenburg turned to
his companion, and imploringly asked: cam
mot innocent?" NO. responded the other
"we were both in the house; both killed,
both guilty, both die together" "Oh, God"
said the other, "you can say that at the last
moment You amt human'' The ropes
were then placed about their necks, when
Bodenburg cried out, go Lord, beyond the
skies, take my soul into Thy Kingdom"
The black caps were pulled over their faces,
and at 1910 P. M the upright was jerked
out, the trap started, and the murderers fell
about three feet, dying without STRUGGLE.

Tours.-Yesterday the right wing of
the Army of the Loire had successful en-
gagemcnts with the Prussiang near Mon
targis.
General D'Aurelle de PaIadines re-
treated from Orleans with a force believ-
ed to be 200, 900 strong. He had 500
cannon. The government authorities
wished him to remain at Orleans and re-
ceive the Prussian attack, but they gave
way ito the Generals opinion that the
place was untenable.
Subsequently the General fought 10 the
utmost but was powerless 10 effect any
thing. At halfpast eleven the Germans
demanded the evacuation of the city,
threatening to bombard it in case of refu-
sal. The Prussian captured but few pri-
soners and no amunjtion.
The government is in receipt of hume
rous dispatches from General D'AureIIe
de Paladines. He |nOunc that his re-
treat was completed in good order. He
lost neither munitions nor provisions.
There is much dissatisfaction with the
General for having evacuated Orleans,
aud in order to give him ar opportunity
to defend himself the Minister of War has
charged three commissioners to inquire
into the matter.
The official reports Of the battles near
Orleans show that the Prussians attacked
each corps d'orm6e separately in greater
force, thus repulsing the left Of the Army
of the Loire and turning Orleans, so as to
render the evacuation Of the town neces-
sary.

For the good old days of Adam and Ever

A long time ago when the world was young
And, ever since then, have all human kind
Been looking and longing, that time to find
But ages ON ages have rolled away,
And the far off future still claims the day.
As for me, I am weary of looking ahead,
And rather prefer to look back instead,
