Mr.. Cooley then read a selection from
the 5Ist Psalm, and offered prayer.
Then the usual strapping Of the pris-
oner's limbs followed. During all this
time the condemned uttered incessant
and wild appeals to the Divine mercy,
frequently asking the spectators to join
him in prayer, somewhat as follows /:
"Oh have compassion upon me and
forgive me. Oh God! I will be with
Thee in heaven. Don't hurt me, don't
hurt me'' Ito the SherriD. "Look down
upon me. This is my dying hour.
Thou hast promised to forgive. Pray
for me, an innocent soul going to God,
at this last minute. Do devote some
prayer for me. Some one join in prayer
with me. Lord God Almighty, look
down upon me and forgive me. Will
not some one join in prayer with me?
I believe in God the Father, etc. Give
me my last moments to pray to God. It
is my last request hat some one pray
for me-" Here Mr.. Cooley re-ascended
the scafTold and again offered prayer.
Then Hunter turned to the Sheriff and
said, "Give my respects to your wife
who has kindly cared for me. Also to
my attornies." He then kissed the
Sheriff and his assistant. Then the cap
was drawn forth, fit emblem Of the
blackness that was soon to rush upon
his senses, atsight ofwhieh he exclaimed
more theoretically than usual, "Don't
put that on. 1t is my last request that
you don't put that On" 81 must do ii,
John" said the Sheriff, and in a moment
more the life Of this world was for ever
shut out from the ayes of the prisoner.
The Sheriff stepped back, and with a
quick and strong downward motion of
the foot, the support gave way, the drop
instantaneously fell at precisely 1I.45
o'clock, and there swung the ~lifeless
body of what so short a space of time
before had been a living, thinking, SEN
tent being. The only discernible move
ments were a nervous motion of the feet
Immediately the drop fell, and a con-
traction of the muscles of the shoulders
four and a half minutes after. At seven
minutes the pulse had ceased, and he
was pronounced dead. It Is said that at
the last moment, he confessed to Mr..
Cooley that his name was not Hunter.
Those qualified by experience to judge,
say that no more successful execution
was ever seen. There were literally no
horrors attendant upon it. There was
the expected crowd around the Jail,
gazing with unsatisied and longing eyes
upon the bare walls, and the usual
unseemly jests were banded back and
forth. Neither was the perambulating
hawker Of patent medicines and gim-
cracks wanting. All these things pre-
sent a loud argument in favor of the
final abolition of the Ter talioRis. May
the time soon come, when wise men
will not consider the experiment a rash
one, is the wish of many. II.

said office? To eliminate a man from
among so many gems, who would salts
factorily fill the place, was rendered
more difficult from the fact that the
standard of qualification vas peculiar.
The person must be utterly devoid of all
inquisitiveness, and perfectly willing to
hold his hand over the name while he
read the remaining part of the address
on a letter. Under this state of affairs
our member of Congress was advised
with, and it was decided that the only
expedient way of settling the dilemma
was to subject the matter to a vote Of
the people. By this vote it was deter
mined that the office would not be
moved at present, and that the people
generally are tired Of the matter. Al
though we cannot commend all of the
proceedings, still we can but recommend
our method of settling the question
to the consideration of other places.
Certainly we have as much right to say
who shall be our P. NJ. as who shall be
member of Congress, or fill any other
important Office; and the people are
much better satisfied.
We intended at the outset to speak of
the station-house, but the length of this
communication will not permit. Nei-
Their do we feel as some others do
like complaining that its operatives are
accommodating. To do business in
such a wretched old affair would make
the pleasantest man cross and sour. If
you happen to get a shortanswer to your
questions-or none at adjust attribute
it to the influence of the old building
curse the railroad company for pravid-
ing such a miserable affair, and let it go.

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving! Well what Of it :?
Ten to one you are thinking of roast
turkey and the etceteras. Yes, you
inmostly wish that the sermon will
reel off in the. space off Is minutes, or
else be so spicy, not to say venomous,
that youacan enjoy it by thinking that
somebody else is catching thunder.
Nov, just think of it; there you are,
with a pasteboard physiognomy. try
ing to persuade yourself that you are
really serious, or, providentially, pious
but now, honest, what is upper
most in your thoughts? Your head
has been capsized and your brains are
all in your stomach! Now isnot that
too truly your idea of Thanksgiving I?
Don't you think more of the prepa-
rations of the dining room than you
do of the services of the church? Yes,
you say, that's so, and what of it i?
Nothing, only that the animal wor-
ries the mental; more human, than
angelic. But then II Is falr anG Just
to suppose and hope you will do your
best to manifest your thankfulness
for mercies and blessings enjoyed, in
the year past. How will you do it t?
Can you praise God, from whom al
blessings flow" best by deeds of love,
sympathy and charity, or by stufiing
yourself to the throat with mere ami
NAL comforts? Blessed is he who
finds his chief pleasure in the upper
stsry of his being. rather than the
basement. Remember the poor and
and the needy, and when you ask
God to bless, be sure that you are ready
to be an instrument to assist in exc
cutting the Divine behest.

Street, some weeks since, and were
acquitted. Morgan Williams was
tried for keeping a place where gam
bling was permitted, at Hubbard. In
this case the one witness for the State
was eontradicted by the defendant, and
the acquittal which followed wasa
therefore, almost a necessity. Two
witnesses for the Stale were under
subpoena, and when called, before the
swearing of the jury, answered, or
some one did for them, but when the
case had commenced it was discovered
that one was absent. In that dilem-
ma to stop were as bad as to go on,
and so the Prosecutor took the
chances. Had this deception, not
been practiced the result might have
been different. VIM. P. VanGorder,
charged with gambling by playing
poker, by his Attorney, Ensign,
demurred to the indictment because
it did not state that defendant was
playing with any other person or peg
sons, but the Court held the demurrer
bad, and defendant thereupon plead
guilty.

Ohio SenatOrshiD,

Washington Dispatch to Boston Post.l
The contest for United States Sena-
tor in Ohio to succeed Senator Sher-
man is deeply interesting the politi-
clans of that State, as 1 gather from
well posted men of both parties. A
letter from a member elect Of the
Legislature says that although Sena-
tor Sherman has a decided majority
of the Republican votes, he will not
be elected. Five of the nine majority
of the republicans on joint ballot,
and probably two others Cill join
them, have positively decided that
they will vote for any one ratherthan
Senator Sherman. As far as heard
from the Democratic members are
willing to join these Republicans who
oppose Sherman, and it is believed all
the Democrats will unite in this
movement, which coalescing would
result in a majority on joint ballot for
a candidate whom the anti-Sherman
Republicans will elect. At present
it is known that the first named five
Republicans desire the election of
General j. d. Cox, late Secretary of
Interior, who seems to be acceptable
to the Democrats generally, so far as
they are willing to support aRepubli-
can at all. These anti-Sherman Re
publicans will refuse to go into the
cauous for nominating a Senator, and
thus be free to act upon their own
motion and get the cooperation of
the Democrats in electiTg a United
States Senator. Whetb. n they unite
upon General Cox or not. the next
United States Senator will be selected
from among the Republicans, and
unless Senator Sherman shall be able
to break this proposed combination
he will not be his W successor.
The above, of course, is mere
speculation. We believe that John
Sherman will be the caucus nominee
and the next Senator. 1t is not likely
that any member of the Legislature
elected on a straight Republican ticket
will refuse to go into the caucus, and
those going in will no doubt be hon
orable enough to abide the decision
Of their colleagues.

EDITOR CHRONICLE: "A musical and
dramatic entertainment was given by
the students at Institute Hall last even
ing, which proved very c~reditable both
to themselves and teachers, and extreme
Jy entertaining to the audience.
The characters in both charades and
drama were well sustained. Mr.. L. G.
Spencer in the characters of the Yankee
Pedlar and Country Cousin, would do
credit to any stage, and received great
applause. Miss D. Coe as the Planters
daughter, and Miss N. Siliman as the
Yankee servant girl, created quite q
sensation.
Miss E.Jones, in the character ofGrand-
mother, acted her part better than her
own grandmother Gf she has one) could
have done.
The School Journal, edited by Mr..
Mcknight and Miss. E. Myers. contained
many well written articles, and was read
with q distinctness of articulation which
was very pleasing to the listeners.
D. Green's Flying Machine was n Of
the funniest things IN the programme.
Murdoch himself would hare a~pplauded
the recitation had he been present.
The musical performances conducted
by Professor Cheney himself, showed
that the Professor was no novice in that
Department. and though his talented wife
was obliged to perform on a poor instru-
ment. as the good one expected failed to
nut in an appearance, he did not permit
the obstacle TO hinder our havinga great
treat. The ehcruses were very fine and
well performed, particularly the Anvil
Chorus from the opera OIL Trovatore.
Our old favorite, Mrs. Hayes, and our
new musical pet, Miss Lou Chapman,
kindly accepted an invitation to assist
the Professor, and with Mrs. Cheney at
the instrument, gave us some Of their
good music. We feel justly proud OF
Mrs. Cheney's musical performances,
and hope all in our vicinity, who
have any intention of procuring 6 must
cal education will put themselves under
her instruction. a the opportunity is a
rare one.
Institute Hall is q very e~ommodious
and pleasant room, and adds greatly to
the comfort and pleasure of not only
students, bat citizens.
It was well filed last evening, and we
were pleased to see many familiar faces
which took us back to the old time when
we were boys and girls. and acted our
several parts before an audience now
passed away.
The next term Of the Institute will
commence Dec. 5.
Expecting many good things from oul
school this winter, both literary and
musical, we remain as ever,

EDITOR CHRONICLE Improvements
are going on rapidly as usual. Business
is lively, the merchants having a good
trade, Notwithstanding money is a little
scarce. The churches are progressing
finely and are very active in a temporal
point Of view, and we hope also in a
spiritual. The Disciple Church at North
Bristol has new Troy bell to replace
the old one which was broken. 1t
weighs 1900 lbs. The day it was raised
the ladies prepared a warm dinner in
the church, which was partaken of with
great relish by the hungry men who
had been hard at work. The Congrega-
tionalists have been painting and repair
ing their church, making it look very
attractive. The Ladies' Sewing Society
of the NJ. Z. Church has been doing a
good work for the past two years /; has
furnished books for the Sabbath School
to the amount of SIG, lamps for the
church, etc. The ladies now propose to
assist in repainting the church, and are
to have a fair and oyster supper for that
purpose on the evenings of Dec. II and
10. They intend that any n purohas-
ing of them shall get the worth of his
money, and we know by past expert
ence that the supper will be a success.
Besides the fair and supper they will
have other novel, original and attractive
methods of entertainment. We hope
they will have Liberal patronage. Per
haps we have encroached enough upon
your patience, and taken enough space
for this time, but we are to haYe a rail-
road some of these days, and then you
may look to hear from us again.

Nathaniel Preston, for many years a
prominent citizen of Terre Hsute, In
diana, and formerly cashier of the branch
of the old State Bank Of Indiana at that
place, fell dead on Sunday afternoon
while walking a short distance from his
residence.
1t must be a matter Of serious concern
to the public generally to know that one
Arthur succeeds Murphy as collector of
the port of New York, else why should
the press dispatches so solemnly assure
us that Murphy still continues to dis
charga the duties of the ohrS. Murphy
is evident a man &c nrm grip.
The young mulatto who murdered
the old man Swing in Cleveland last
week, has been arrested. He was found
at work on a farm near Xenia, Ohio,
and on being arrested, confessed to the
crime. He had KILLED Swing for money,
but was disappointed, as he only got
about twelve dollars. The wretch will
doubtless swing according to law. His
mann is John Cooper, and says Swing
was his uncle.
In a lecture on vulgarity, delivered in
Boston by James Parton, a few days
ago, he claimed that the very cream of
vulgarity was found among the rich
Tammanyites of New York. He said
he hai lately attended q ball of the

noticeable features Of which were " bad
grammar and fine diamonds, white kids
and dirty paws"
The Chicago Tribune says that from
five to six hundred additional brick and
stone masons can find employment in
that city through the winter at from 81
to s. per day. Two thousand carpenters
can find employment all through the
winter at high wages. In March there
will be employment for twice as many
more of these trades. In addition work
ers in iron and wood, and in every
branch of labor are wanted.
A dispatch from Alexandria, Egypt,
dated November 23d, says that a ter
rible catastrophe had occurred in the
harbor off that port in consequence
of a collision between two steamships
carrying passengers and mails. The
vessels met with great force, and both
sunk, resulting in the death of seven
ty-ive Algerians by drowning. The
men were overburdened with gold,
the weight of which rendered theiI
efforts to swim unavailing, indeed
impossible.

The Ticket for 1872.

In a few months from this time the
Presidential campaign of 1872 will be
in progress. The signs of the times
indicate that the reorganization of
General Grant, as the Republican can
didate, is very probable. His admin
istration, in the main, has been salts
factory to a large majority of the peo-
pie of the United States. NJ. Colfsx
has had it given out that he will not
be a candidate for denomination to
the Vice Presidency. We think we
can name a gentleman worthy of the
Vice Presidency, and who would fill
the Office with honor and credit.
Here then is the ticket we would like
TO see on the Republican banners for
1870.
