f%Gov. Browns letter, which
is in type, and will appear next
week, refusing to pardon Charles
NJ. Stewart, who murdered his
wife three or four years since,
while In a state of intoxication,
is strong d0cument,and should
be read by everybody. 1t takes

should not be received as an OK
cuse for a capital offence. # Il

placed On trial plead irresponsi-

other story of living burial

iect to traBce-like stHPxs, tut it
never occurred to Cogsswell to bu-
ry her in one Of them In due
time she always got up and went
about her household duties again,
aud eajoyed good health. Lately,
he came home from a droving tour,
and found that his neighbors had
buried he's wife. He GAS very
much astonished at wilat had hap
pened, and insisted OH eXhuming
the body. The grave was opened
and the coffin lid removed IN the
presence of friends, wilen it was
discovered that the woman vas
lying on her face, and the Gesh
was torn from iter shoulder as if by
violence. There was but one ex.
planation-Mrs. CogesweM had
been buried when in a trance, and
woke up to find herself disposed
of until the last trump should
sound: When Coggswell saw
what had been dane, he fell sense
less across the coffin, and is now q

One by one the traces OF our civil
strife are happily disappearing. The is
sues between North and South. settled
by the war, left legacy of division
which affected even the religious as
sociatious of our people. An effort is
about to be made by the Methodists
to reunite the sections of their church
which broke asunder on the question
Of slavery. To this end an invitation
/ has been given to the bishops and min
listers of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South to participate in the
opening services at the Sea Gift Gaber-
uicle. In order to make more strongly
tho desire of the Northern section OF
the church for reunion grand recep
ton will be offered to such Southern
bishops and ministers as may attend
This conduct does honor to the North
ern Methodist aud shows that the true
spirit Of Christianity has not deserted
the modern church. As the social and
political issues which divided our
people are now irrevocably settled, good
sense as well as Christian feeling
shOuld induce the Southern Methodists
to accept the kindly invitation of their
Nothern borthers, and show an example
of Christian forgiveness by aiding the
healing up of the heartburnings aud
hatrsds OF the civil war We sincerely
hope that the camp at Sea Clf will be
attended by large numbers of south

his stay it is charged that he accomplish

she was found eaciente Chambeaugh fed
the country when this state of facts was
ascertained. In due time the poor unfor-
inmate girl gave birth to child, the
idiot mother dying, the child surviving.
On Monday, Chambeaugh, charged with
this brutal act of seduction, returned; and
against the warning of outsiders found
his way to Hester's boat. Hester met him
with his double barrel shot gun, and gave
him the benefit of both leads.
Hester is said to be a clever, hard work

state of facts as detailed are true, he de-
serves the sympathy and approval of the
entire community. The statement given
is the current report; but, we suppose the
facts will be fully brought forward on
