ROMANCE IN THE OHIO PENITEN.
TIARY.

A remarkable case of true love has
come to light in the Penitentiary that
has a romantic twing about it. In May,
1872, Thomas Mills and Anna McFar-
land were sent to prison from Licking
county for burglary under the same sen
tence. Not long since, the woman asked
a guard about Thomas, wanting to know
how soon he would get out. On inqEliry
of her, it was learned that they were en-
gagged to be married before coming to
the prison, and that she was not really
guilty Of burglary, but pleaded guilty
that she might be allowed to suffer with
her lover. She told the guard that if
Thomas was still true she would marry
him when they got out. Thomas was
interviewed, and he was still true to his
Anna. The prison authorities were
moved by the situation, and allowed
them to interview, which is said to have
been quite an affecting scene. Their
terms expire on the same day-Satur-
day, January 81, 1875. 1t has been ar
ranged, at their request, to hold the
ceremony in the prison chapel on the
iay Of their discharge. The Chaplain
will perform the ceremony. The twain
will start out with freedom again as one
flesh, after two years confinement with
in the same walls, with but one interview
in that time. 1t may be added that
both have been exemplary prisoners.

A Frenehman was about to be hanged
for a criminal offense; as there was no
professionl executioner available for the
occasion, the painful duty of carrying
out the sentence devolved upon an anna
teur, who apologized for possible short
eomings to the person principally con
cerned. 81 hope you will pardon me,
said he, ''if l put you to any Unnecessary
Inconvenience; but the fact is, 1 have
never hanged any one before. 'Pray
do not mention it, replied the other,
with the greatest sangfroid. "For that
matter, 1 have never been hanged be-
fore. We must each do our best"
