FOURTEEN MEN UNDER SENTENCE OF
DEATH. 1t is now several years slnce me eA
treme penalty of the law for crime was lDn'cled
ia this State, not because there were no con-
victons for murder, but solely because OF the
unwilugness of the State Executive al the
time to cause sentence to be carried Into exc,
cution. There are now, 10 dl1creut parts VI
the State. eight or nine nlurderers VINO were
tried, convicted and seLtenccd during the al
minstratiou of Gov. Warmoth. These men are
still corfnrd 10 the prisons ut the Parishes
where thew were tried. |. is a requirement vi
the laws of this State that when person Is
tried and convicted of the crime OF murder,
and sentenced to suffer the extreme penalty OF
the law. tn. records shall be certified to BY the
Governor of the State, upon whom Is deVoiFcd
the duty of fixing time tor the execution OF
the sentence, and to issue his writ for that pur-
nose Il appears Governor Warnoth DID NOT
choose to act 10 these cases, and so they nae
been handed down to his successor. Some OF
these men have thus been held under seutebce
for three years or longer, being all the time
kent 10 close Confinement and perhaps III
irons, in the parish prisons. 1t Is stated
that on the return home of Governor kel-
logg. these old and chronic cases will re-
ceye attention and be finally disposed OF. The
former Executive, upon whom first fell the
solemn and serious responsibility of issuing the
order necessary for the execution OF the death
penalty having failed to do so, 1t is scarcely to
be expected that the present Executive Will DO
so in these cases. Doubtless he will feel that
it is enough for him to take the responsibility
of such action 10 cases occurring under MS OVID

A New METHOD OF REST. The discussion
on cremation has excited the genius OF d Ger
man philosopher, named SteiDbelr. who, ac'
cording to German newspaper, proposes 10
cover the body of the deceased with Roman q, or
Portland cement, which hardens into solid
mass and renders the escape OF noxous gases
impossible. According TO this plan the corpse
would be placed in a sarcophagus OF already
hardened cement, the cavity In which 1t repoS-
ed would be filled up with the same material,
and both would harden together into thick
slab Of a substance resembling stone. Thus the
deceased buried 10 this manner would rest with

PERSONAL. The Washington Chronicle OF
this morning says
The memory of the gallant officer and ven er-
sted citizen of Washington, General Archib bald
Henderson, of the Marine Corps, is still grcen
in the hesrts Of many of our people. To these
it will be gratifying intelligence that two grand
sons of his, M essrs Archi bald Henderson Tay Tor
snd Julian Taylor, of Alexandria, Va, have
both taken the most difficult degree Of a. NJ. at
the University of Virginia, the former gradual
ing in 1873, and the after at the commencement
just passed. 1t is very rare for students TO take
this degree at the University Of Virginia, rs is
well known. For two brothers to take 1t in sue
cessive years is unprecedented. They are the
only sons of Mrs. Allen Taylor, Of Alexandria.

The Addison County Temperance So.
Clety.

The Addison County Temperance
Society are to hold their annual meet
ing, in Middlebury, tomorrow. The
subject of temperance has come to be
one Of the important ones now before
the public mind. Its relation to politi-
cal questions, especially local political
questions, are grow ing, year by year,
more intimate and 1t has already, OH
this account, assumed a prominence
never before known in Vermont. In
Addison County this question has not
generally entered obtrusively into po-
litical controversies, but it has often had
Its influence in the selection of candi-
dates. This year it may be different in
that respect 1t has already been an
nounced by some who are "in favor of
the prohibi.ory law but opposed to its
execution" that test question is to
arise, in our county politics for the
next campaign. 1t is to be presumed
that the distinct issues which are an
ticipated, may not be discussed or acted
upon at the meeting of tomorrow, but
questions Of vital importance to the
future successful action of the society
and friends of temperance in the coun-
ty when called upon TO meet the issues
of the campaign, may and probably
will arise. The question then comes
home to every temperance man, will
you, by your resence and counsel, at
this meeting, help secure the good we
hope for, and place this county organi-
cation in condition Of prosperity
which shall insure its efficiency for any
good work it may undertake for the
cause Of reform and humanity and God,
during the next year?
Suppose 1t does take some of the time
that you wish to devote to the pursuits
of your farm or shop, have you not in
terest enough in this good work of re-
form, to induce you to make that little
sacrifice for it? We hope SO, and shall
expect a goodly attendance of those
who are in earnest upon this subject.
