PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2O.-Frederick
Heidenblut was hanged this morning for
the murder of Godfrey Kuhule on the 3lst
of December, 1873. He passed the early
part Of last night in prayer aRd reading the
Scriptures, retiring lat two O'Clock. From
that time until o'clock he slept. After
breakfast he remained in prayer for at least
an hour. His spiritual adviser reached his
cell about half past seven, and remained
with him up to the time of the execution,

anything. He made no reply, but merely
shook his head. The Sheriff adjusted the
black cap, and al l.: s p. N. the signal was
given and Samuel Beighly was ushcred
into eternity. The body remained sus-
pended % minutes, when it was cut down
and given to his friends for interment.

where they grew. This corroborates strongly
all previous testimony on this point.

For THE RECORD.
From statements made by one of the mama
gers at the meeting of the Beaumont Deer
Park Association to-day, it seems the worst
parties in creating disorder at the Park, come
from LambertvlIe. A sewing machine wagon
from Lambertville has been for some time I'M
der suspicion of furnishing liquor in the Park
and in the affair at the Eagle Fire Co. picnic,
Aug. 26, in which one O'Daniels was captured
and is now in Doylestown Jail, the same sew
ing machine wagon was, after the arrest Of
O'Daniels, left without an owner. Would t
not be well for vendors of sewing machines in
our city to have care to whom they loan
their wagons, for every one might not know it
was loaned.

ed with little slack-rope performance, by

rope was drawn from the top of the Brick
Hotel across the street to the top of the build
ing, over Robbins Drug Store, to which was
attached a slack rope-swing rashion--on
which the Professor performed many remark
able feats. While he was swinging in the air,
his partner who generally attends him on
such occasion, was scarcely less active on terra
.fraaa, in looking after the money matters.
The performance was free one, which of
course implied gratuitous contribution.

mai DhiD6E NoNIhANl, AND DNlNDlh
The Belvidere apollo, in speaking of the
contract for building the bridge at Reigles-
vile, says:
The Hunterdon men, it seems, are given to
"ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,"
as has twice been illustrated by this bridge
affair. They tried at this time and before to
get the contract for a Lambertvlle company,
but were foiled by the keen tactics of our
Freehoders. We have always believed that
we have some sharp Freeholders in this
county.
There is no doubt that there are some
sharp Freeholders in Warren. It is cur
rently believed that several of them are sharp
enough to make sufficient out of their office to
live comfortably and save money. For "ways
that are dark" &c., commend us to these
Warren Co. Freeholders. 1t is not true that
the Hunterdon Freeholders "tred to get the
contract for Lambertville company" Half
of them did and half of them did not. -
Whether the akeen tactics " of the Warren
county men are to be commended or not, may
be judged from the following statement of
their proceedings.
At the first meeting of the Committee to
give out the contract, they claimed that the
Board of the two counties had ordered bow
string bridge. This was news to the Commit
tee of the Board from this county-in fact, it
was absolutely false. Then the bids were OPP
ened and it turned out that the Continental
Bridge Co. of Phia., was the only one offer
ing to build bridge of the kind which the
Warren men claimed was ordered by the two
Boards and this bridge was much the highest
priced of any offe,ed. This fact looks very
suspicious. AftersA bids had heen opened.
the warren Co committee objected to award
ing the contract, stating that they wished the
Delaware Bridge Co. (of Phillipsburg) to have
chance to bid, which company, suppos-
ing that it was to be bow-string bridge
(Which they did not build had not put in a
proposal. Although it was obviously unjust
to open the proposals after the bids of sever
al of the parties were known, yet, owing to
the apparent interest of these men in their
own county establishment, this proposition
was agreed to. At the second meeting to
award the contract this Phillipsburg company
put III bid, but not one vote was cast in favor
of this company from their own county about
which they were so interested at the previous
meeting, but Instead, the Warren Committee
voted to give it to a foreign company at an
advance of $50 from the price proposed by
their own county company, and an advance
Of $9f0 over the lowest bid. and this in the
face of the fact that the bridge proposed to be
built by the Phfliipsburg company is a better
one than that receiving the award.
Then these Warren Co. Freeholders were
'ssharp" in another way. In voting for the
award they proposed to vote by ballot (Which
was carried) thus endeavoring to cover up
their tracks but in this their sharpness has
not ayailed them.
This whole transaction has the appearance
of .sjob," and the voters of Warren county
owe it to themselves to bring their public SER
wants to an account for their singular method
Of proceeding.

GN The Eagle a Fire Co.. Picnic, held
told, was success even beyond expectations
1t is estimated that about 400 people were in
attendance during the evening, and the whole
programme of exercises passed off creditably.
They cleared about $3.50, after meeting their
expenses. This is only another illustration
of the ability of the Eagle " boys to run a
first-class picnic, as we'll as q first-class en-
CINE. A good police force was placed on duty,
and every precantion taken to make claw
and order y the rule of action, on the occasion.
Had it not been for little "whskey bust
ness" which was attempted in the woods by
George o. Daniels, of Lambertvlle, the whole
affair would have passed off without even an
intimation of a ruffle. This gross offense
was Immediately ferreted out by policemen
Johns and Costner, who arrested the Lambert
villain. While searching for the whiskey, in
the vicinity of where they supposed the
little " traffic y was being practced, on the sly,
a pistol was drawn by Daniels on policeman
Johns, WHO it appears did not scare very good,
and in turn took him into custody, notwith-
standing his threats. This was done SO quiet
ly and secretly that it was fact at the time
unknown to many, and of course caused no
undue commotion. He was brought to New
Hope, and on the following morning a hear
ing was had before Squire johnson, who
placed him under bail of $500 for his appear
ance at Court. Failing to procure bail, he
was committed to the Doylestown Jail.

Rev. Edwin NJ LgKc.the noted Evangelist,
who hos iaisorcttatiag ef3 ars in the service,
spent last Sabbath in IeSw Hope and Lam
bertville. In the morning he preached in the
M. E. Church of New Hope. At 81 P. M.
he delivered an illustrated sermon in the
Presbyterian Church, of Lambertville The
subject of his text-the parable of the "Pro-
digai Son was illustrated upon canvas,
and greatly aided in making the preaching of
the Word plain, interesting, and instructive. e.
He also preached again in the New Hope M.
E. Church at ~ P. NJ, using the same canvas
illustrations as before mentioned, but present
ing the Truth through another phase of the
subject. His preaching, accompanied by the
illustrations, and the singing of sacred melos
dies, some of them of his own composition
which had a striking adaptation, all blend
ed together in q manner which took hold of
the feelings of the people. This is one of the
marked characteristics Of his preaching, ev-
erywhere, and is well appreciated by all class
es and denominations. He has many Biblical
paintings on canvas, which, he says, incurred
the expenditure of thousands of dollars but
when staying at a place to preach only one or
two sermons, his stock in hand is usually linn
tied.
