HORRIBLE EXECUTION IN VIRGINIA.

HORRIBLE EXECUTION IN VIRGINIA.
Four colored men were hung last Fri
day at Isle Of Wight Court House, in
Virginia, for the murder of Josiah Gray.
Their names were Peter Newly, Jacob
Wallace, Moses Newly and Henry Costen.
Wallace was 10 and Peter Newly So
years of age. From the reports of the
execution III the VirsirAia papers it APP
pears to have been one of the most hOr-
ribe on record, surprising in sickening
ghastliness the execution of the four men
at Princess Anne. The following is the
conclusion of the Richmond Wings re-
port of the butchery:
The executioner, at the close of his re-
marks, placed black caps over their heads
and adjusted the ropes, when they broke
out into the widest supplications, praying
Heaven for mercy. The two auxiliary
props were removed at one o'clock imms-
diately after which the main prop was
knocked from beneath the rope, when,
with terrible crash, that sent shudder
through the crowd, two of the criminals
were preoipitated to the earth by the
breaking of the ropes. The middle men,
however. remained suspended in the air,
but the excitement was intensified by the
breaking of two of the strands of the rope
around the neck of Moses Newly. Here
the crowd without rushed for the door OF
the Jail yard with yell, but were forced
back and prevented from entering by the
GOODNESS and nerve of the sheriffs guard.
/ The middle criminals, though dangling
| L. no OIL csllnv +braa foot nd
the neck of neither was broken. The dis
oovery of this fact created the widest con-
fusion and the most intense excitement
among those within the yard, and the
prayers of the two poor wretohes who had
gained a temporary respite by the break
ing of the ropes, mingled with the oaths
and imprecations of the excited mob.
The bodies of Moses Newly and Costen
!; were left hanging seventeen minutes, and
all this time the other two men were left
standing beneath the scaffold witnessing
the terrible torture through which they
were soon to pass. Life being declared
r extinct, at the expiration of the period
named, the executioner walked upon the
platform and severed each of the ropes tc
which the bodies of the two men were at.
tached, precipitating them in rapid sue
cession at the feet of the other two trem-
+ bling wretches. The hangman then
jumped on the ground, and, Selling the
ropes still on their necks, dragged them
to their collins and placed them therein
He was a volunteer hangman, and no one
approved his conduct
/ The drop was hastily put in position
and the remaining two trembling crimi
malls, more dead than alive, led upon the
scaffold and placed in the identical posi-
ton of those executed before them. A
half past one the drop again fell, and the
} bodies struggled fearfully for eight min
utes, when life being declared extinct, the
hangman repeated the conduct mentioned
' in the case of the first two who were ex
ecuted. The whole affair was scene o
t horror without precedent in the execu
0 tions in this Commonwealth, and neve
will he forgotten by any one who witness
ed it,"

CHITTENDEN.-On Saturday, the oath
inst, the Sunday School scholars of East.
North and South Chittenden, with many
other citizens, were found at the Temper
anoe Picnic at Castlcton. Of any of the
particulars of North Chittenden Sunday
SCHOOL, am not in possession, but Of
South, happen to know little, A. their
meeting the Sabbath before, ample ar
engagements were made for their convey
ance by cars to the picnic. Out Of gener-
Gus hearts and open purses, the needed
amount to defray all expenses was more
than met on the spot. Special aceommo-
dations were made to convey the children
to the depot. On the morning Of the aP-
pointed day, at early time, We noticed a
four-h0rse team with nearly twenty aboard
and the flag OF our country waving over
the joyful, company. In close proximity
was the Pastor, and numerous other teams
loaded to the full capacity. When arciv-
ed, the cars were lled,-about 100, a
cheerful and merry set. At quick time
we were on the ground the threatening
storm drove the people to the church
where we listened with interest to the
speaker, for he WAS all that the occasion
seemed to require. Intermissjon came,
our dinner tables were under the clouds,
and when beautifully filled with great
variety, the rain fell on US, but We fell to
eating. Notwithstanding this, all were
glad aud happy. To see the children en-
joy the repast with smiling faces made us
happy. L continued to rain, but we par
ticiplted in the exercises till car-time,-
then, on our way home,-wet, drabbled,
disheveled, and yet happy. At dusk we
were in Rutland, aud yet, to some Of the
children, it was ten miles home,-happy
from the past cheered by hope, they pro-
coed. Ever and anon we heard songs Of
joy, and mutual greetings, as darkness and
night lowered down upon them. Thus
they passed happy, reaching their homes
in safety, for we saw most. of them on the
next day at their usual places in the Sun
day School.
Such occasions, to the young, are like
GASES in a sandy desert, always green
source of happy reflection through every
state of life. Educate the children, and
let the dicipline be marked with proper
and timely recreation, thus giving
cheerful mould to the young plastic
hearts.
Much praise is dueto the committee
and people of South Ohittenden for their
generous accommodations for the children
and for the marked respect for their feel.
ings and that Of the temperance cause.
May this BIZ data, wherein they will
stand-noT and forever-in its defence.

CATHOLIC WORLD. - The Catholic
World opens with an article on Union
with the Church." which discusses the
question from the Catholic and Protes-
tant standpoints, and examines especially
the ground occupied by the Reformed
(German) Church. The author of this
paper recognizes what is certainly true,
but generally fails of recognition-that
the theologians of the Mercersburg school
are men of profounder views than either
the Puseyites or Anglo-Ritualists There
is a very damaging review of Froude's
History of England ;" review of the
poetry of William Morris a paper on
the Charities of Paris" besides other
essays, stories and poems. While the
present number maintains the well known
theological ability of the magazine, it has
more papers of popular and general
character than it usually prints.
