The Release OF Thorn.

No one can regret that at last the door of
Executive clemency has yielded to the be-
seeching and patient appeals of pity, and that
Thomas Thorn walks forth from the State
Prison a free man. Thorn is native Of
Rhode Island, and was committed to prison
under the death sentence, for the crime of
murder perpetrated in IIarpswell, May H.,
ls43. He was then youth of nineteen, and
was undoubtedly prompted to the deed by a
she devil who had laid her arttul plans for the
murder Of a rey-headed old man. With the
help of the youth she accomplished it. En-
tering the prison fair.haired boy, under
the condemnation that the, shedding of in
nocent blood brings TO the guilty soul,
he now goes forth to breathe the air of
liberty an old man, with locks silvered
while Flooding along the weary routine
forced upon him by crime, and is scarcely
known to the present generation, except they
may have Heard of his annual pleadings for
pardon and release. No one can now wish
: the old man i'll. May his last days be his best
iays; and as he starts anew. may the evening
of his life be sufficiently lengthen d that he
may retrieve in part for the dismal blank up
ON which he now turns his back.
