LA TORNADO ST.. JAGo DE CUBA
Nov. 6, 1873. }
DEAR, DEAR DITA when | left you
| had no idea we should never meet
again in this world, but it seems strange
to me that / should tonight, and on
Auntie's birthday, be calmly seated, on
a beautiful moonlight night, in most
beautiful bay in Cuba, to take my last
leave o. you, my own dear, sweet wife,
and with the thought of your bitter an
guish my only regret at leaving. L have
been tried to-day, and the president of
the court martial asked the favor of en-
bracing me at parting, and clasped me
to his heart. / have shaken hands with
each of my judges, and the secretary OF
the court and interpreter have promised
me as a special favor to attend my exc
cution, which will, am told, be in
very few hours after my sentence is pro-
nounced / am told my death will be
painless; in short, have had very
cheerful and pleasant chat about my fu-
neral, to which shall go in few hours
from now. How soon, cannot yet say.
It is curious to see how / make friends.
Poor Bambetta pronounced me gentle
man, and he was the brightest and BRAY
est creature / ever saw. The priest who
gave me communion on board this morn
ing, put double scapular about my
neck ana medal which he intends to
wear himself. A young Spanish officer
brought me a BRIGHT new silk badge with
the blessed Virgin stamped upon it, to
wear to my execution for him, aud
handsome cross in some fair lady's han
diwork. These are to be kept as relics
Of me. He embraced me afieciionately
in my room with tears in his eyes.
Dear sweetheart, you will be able
to bear it for my sake, for | will be with
you if God permits it. Although know
my hours are short and few, | am not
sad. / feel shall always be with you
right soon, dear Dita, and you will not
be afraid of me. Pray for me and | will
pray for you. y There is to be
a fearful sacrifice of life from the Vir-
ginius, and, as | think, needless one, as
the poor people are unconscious of crime.
and even of their fate up to now. /
hope God will forgive If / am too blame
for it, If you write to President Grant,
he will probably order my pay due when
| resigned, paid to you after my death.
People will be kinder to you now, dear
Dita. at least hope so. Do not dread
death when it comes to you, it win be as
Gods angel OF rest-remember this.
hope my children may forget their faith
er's barshness, and remember his love
and anxiety for them. May they prac
tice regularly their religion, and pray
for him always, Tell - that tht
last act of my life will be public pro
fession of my faith and hope in Him 0
whom we need not be ashamed, and it !
not honest to withhold that public &C
acknowledgement from any false modest,
or timidity. May God bless and cave U
all. Sweet, dear, dear Dta, we will sool
: meet again. Til then, adieu, for tn
last time. Your devoted husband.

Correspondence. asy
Last Saturday evening, in pursuance
to a notice previously published IN
the Journal, the Rev. Mr.. McCollister,
of Akron, delivered q lecture in the
BucKsye Halb opihe subjeet of 9 cru
saIem and It's sSdffshndihgs All
though the weather was fair and the
roads smooth, not very large audi
ence wss in attendance. At the time
advertised he appeared, aud COM
menced his lecture. 1t was the finest
lecture of the season, and the subject,
is one which is of great interest to all
who feel wish to learn something of
the land of our Savior, eofl it's sCcnes,
and the habits of the people who
dwell there now. The speaker COM
menced his lecture by interesting the
audience with his landing at Joppa,
and then carried the listsner over the
numerous hills and stony roads, to
the city of Jerusalem, Then he des-
cribed the wallis giving their height
lobe from fifteen tofofty ieet which
is the result of the ground being un-.
even and billy. These walls the
speaker said were about fifteen feet in
thickness at the base, tapered to q
thickness of about three feet. These
are not the walls of the ancient city
that stood in the days OF ohF. Savior,
but have been bhilt in modern zines.
After reaching Jerusalem the lecturer
narrated his experiences in the city,
describing the inhabitants in very elo-
quent language, telling of the charac-
teristlcs of the Arab, and his rights
and duties assallowed9by the Moham-
edan religion, and the degradation
of the female part of the population.
He told of the narrow streets, the
yelled women, the promenades on the
housetops, the rocks on the mountain
sides honey-combed with ancient
tombs. where lie the remains of those
who lived three and fourEtb tbousand
years ago. He delineated the striking
appearance of the distant hills aud
valleys az seen from the sdmmits Of
the mountains around the ancient
city. This slecture Is one which would
interest all, and by means of the flow-
ing language of the eloquent speaker,
the heafef Is transplahted, in imagin-
alton, to that land full of so much his
tory, and so many ancient relics veri-
tying the word that tells their origin
aud history. On Sunday morning he
preached at the new Methodist church
at this place to a very large audience.
His theme was we'll hRndled aud pre-

About three weeks ago a young
man came to town and took up his
quarters atlthe Poe House. He gave
his name as w. Fl. Harper, and repre-
sented himself to be travling for ''Cal-
loway Chemical Co. LA Asylum
street, Hartford, Conn" and presented
his card as such to those with whom
he had business. He was about thir-
ty years of age, and a man of rather
prepossessing appearance and iue ad-
dress, and ne one would have suspect
ed him of being other than what he
represented himself. After having
been i n town several days, he applied
at the establishment Of Mr.. w. d.
Durham and left his measure for a
pair of fine boots, of the very best
quality and style, representing that
he intended to make Ravenna his
head quarters, and desiring to have
the boots by the next Saturday even
ing. AT that time he called at the
establishment, but did not get the
boots as he said he had not the money
with which to pay for them, having
failed to get remittance which he ex-
pected from his employers. The next
Monday morning he called again, but
still without the money. On the 2lst,
along in the evening he called again,
andrexhibited aeeertifed check. drawn
by w. A. Galloway on the First Ma
fienal Bank of Hartford, Conn, for
| S75, accompanied by a letters peaking
in the most satisfactory manner of the
way he had. transacted his business,
&c, and promising him further remit
tanees from time to time as his necess-
ities might require. He manifested
/ much anxiety to obtain the boots that
evening, but as the banks were closed
he was unable TO get his check cashed.
He said he had applied to the proprie-
tors of the Poe House to do it, but
they had not the necessary funds, and
he desired Mr.. Durham to accommo-
date him, and not dreaming there was
any thing wrong, Mr.. D.did SO, taking
out the price of the boots and paying
him the balance of the check $63, in
cash. The next morning the check
was placed in tn he hands of the Saw
ings and Loan Association for eollec-
tion. On Thursday last the check
was returned protested for non-pay'
ment, with the consoIing information
that no such person had any funds OF
account in the First National at Hart.
ford, or were known by that institu-
tion. In the mean time w. FL. Har-
/ per had yamosed the ranch for parts
unknown, and our friend Durham
viotimized to the time of SIS, with the
cost of protest on the bogus check. Z
stands business men everywhere in
hand to have and eye out on these sleek
rascals and to exercise good de-
gree of fcaution about putting too much
confidence in strang ers.

AURORA.

Correspondence 9
ED. PRESS One of our intelligent
and estimable citizens, well to do
Republican, was recently reading in
the paper what he supposed to be
Governor Aliens Inaugural address.
After reading a few moments he
stopped and allowed a considerable
quantity of gas to escape in denouncs
ing the supposed Inaugural in the
most vindictive language that his ex.
tensiys store room of kneWledge
could command. Then, again, after
renewing his reading for short time
he threw the paper to the floor, and
opening the safety valve, from whence
at times large quantities of gas es-
capped, denounced the address, saying,
that any man that would htter such
sentiments as those, was nothing less
than saUindle and hu1a6ug, and the
party that would support man that
would utter snch seutimengs was .
pdckqf agnoramuses. 9f,.

to him to look at the paper again, and
