IN EXECUTION.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 22-Henry Brown the
negro who killed Philip Pfarr, German
living few miles from the city and then
ravished and robbed his wife on the 25th
of last May was hanged in the yard OF
the Jail at four courts, at one o'clock to-
day. In brief speech made on the
scafFold he admitted having struck Pfarr
the blow which caused his death but de-
MED outraging Mrs. Pfarr.
Nearly two thousand persons were
present in the Jail yard, and windows and
roofs of all houses in the vicinity and
even the roof of the Jail itself, as well as
the streets of the neighborhood were
thronged with people. The crowd must
have numbered nearly five-thousand. Al
exactly half-past one o'clock the trap was
sprung and the wretched culprit hung
dangling in the air. He fell five feet and
never moved a muscle. AT the end o
eight minutes life was declared extinc
and the body was cut down and placed
in coffin for burial.

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.

Ex-Gov. Seymour wrote as follows in
letter declining an invitation to attend
the Georgia State Fair: "In five years
from this time the census will show our
numbers to be more than 5O,0O0,OO0.
The day, then, is coming when the lands
of the South will be greatly lifted up in
value. L have given much time and
thought to the agricultural condition of
the United States. l have travelled ex-
tensively, and / have examined with
care into the industrial interests of all
sections, and l am confident that here
after the South will get large and grow
ing share of those who are seeking new
homes either from Europe or from the
older States of the Union. This food
tide will bear with it wealth and varied
industries. l pray for the day when the
South shall be prosperous in all its pur-
suits, for until it is so there can be no as
sured pervading welfare in other Sec
tions of th Union"

THE Western Reserve shows up well
on the map, and the figures confirm the
favorable impression. OF the entire
twelve Western Reserve counties, all but
two show heavy Republican gains. These
two are Erie and Mahoning, Setting
apart the Fire Land counties of Erie and
Huron, which show net Republican
gain of 207 and taking the ten remaining
counties more generally understood as
Western Reserve proper, there is a net Re-
publican gain of S,430. Mahoning, which
only partly belongs to the Reserve, and
whose mining and iron making popula
ton had been strongly infected with the
initiation epidemic, though they were
gradually recovering, ga, Democratic
gain of G07.

A GREAT THEFT.
A MILLION DOLLARS STOLEN
FROM THE PENNSYL ' ANA
TREASURY.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2l.-The commit
tee appointed by the Pennsylvania House
of Representatives to investigate the af-
fairs of the Treasury have agreed upon a
report stating that their investigation
has brought to light the following facts
That from 1864 to 1874 there appears to
have been yearly overcharge on the in
terest account on the public debt, the
different Treasurers taking credit for pay
ing more interest than the State debt
bore. The grand aggregate thus unlaw-
fully taken from the State Treasury in
the eleven years would amount to the
sum of 81 ,129, ,901.65.
SecOnd-That from 1870 to 1874 there
appears to have been an express pre-.
MUM charged in the purchases of gold
to pay interest on gold bearing bonds
amounting in all to $l2l 1874. Many
other minor fraudulent transactions
came under the notice of the committee
but these here mentioned are the most
iml ortant. In referring to the action ol
ex-Treasurers in refusing to appear be-
fore the committee, the report says
Certainly it is fair to assume that al
the charges made are true, as the Treas
urers do not appear when lawfully sub
phenaed to explain or deny them.

THE Sentinel says: Owing to the late
ness of d-time, it was feared, and
with apparently good reason, that crops
of all kinds would be short in the State
this year. In view of this, it is pleasant
to note that from all the agricultural
counties the most encouraging reports
of the present fine condition of cereal
crops and grasses are pouring in, and it
need eanse no surprise if the threshing-
machine and hay-mow show the season
to have been remarkably productive
one. 1t is true that in some localities
the destructive chinch-bug has appeared
and left its biighting mark on the grain
fields. But the recent heavy rains have
done much to destroy the pest, and it is
probable that its ravages will be confn-
Ell to very small areas. The prospect
for hay was never better, and corn also
looks promising. On the whole, Wis
consin farmers have no reason to COM
plain of the crop prospect at present.

AS strawberries are now in season, a
recipe to make the palatable dish known
as strawberry shortcake will not be
amiss. Rub piece of butter the size
of an egg into little flour, pour into it
two cups Of sour cream, one teaspoonful
of baking soda, and a little salt. Mix
into dough, and roll into cakes about
inch thick, and 10 inches in diameter.
Prick with fork, and bake in quick
oven. When done split them open with
knife, and spread with nice butter, lay
the bottom piece on plate and cover
1t with strawberries nearly an inch deep.
It is better to have the strawberries
sprinkled with sugar few hours before
they are put into the cake. Put over
this the top of the cake. with the crust
side down, and layer of strawberries
again. Over this lay the bottom piece
of another cake and more berries. and
put on the top piece, right side up.
Serve with sweet cream.
