where an armed guard Of half dozen shot
guns took charge Of the prisoners under the
command Of the Sheriff A crowd Of about
5000 persons from all the ueighboring
counties, including several well dressed women
and children with their mothers, were assembled
near the gallows. The scaffold was elevated
twenty feet from the ground and the victims fell
nine feet. Jolly died instantly. Not only was
his neck broken, bat his head was nearly torn
from his body by the fall. Armstrong nearly
touched the ground, the moose having slipped at

Mr.. Charles i. J. Marsh Of St Abaas, one
of the delegates to the General Temperance Con-

Messenger, comments as follows on the action Of
the Convention
Judging it by the number Of resolutions pass
ej, it certainly lid work enough but whether
they Will amount 10 any more than the ''plous
resolutions " reported from some Of the county
rocieties, or indicate more. than an "annual
breathing on the part Of those present, re-
mains to be seen. Durug the discussion it was
remarked by Rev C. Z. Ferrin thst when men
lacked the moral courage to DO their duty at home
it was not only very cheap, but very coUsrdly
thing to come together and ask a C0nyeation to
use the lash they themselves dare not WELD
There was apparently some occasion for tie re-
mark Aside from this the action OF the Con-
ventiou looking towards independent political or
ganization, wss considered doubtful policy hy
many in the Convention and doubtless will be by
many temperance men not there; and if regarded
by any simply a lash held up without any ex-
pectstion of its being used, it must indicate
weakness rathe- than strength.
