and, by request of the doomed man,
read several verses from the fist
part Of st. John, chapter fourteenth.
He didn't know Williams's reason for
this, but supposed he had had co nmu-
Mon with God. The preacher then read
the following sentences; $50 long as

about his temptations, and 10 watch, in

may devouT. Noman is perfect and holy,
but he hath sometimes temptations, and
we cannot be altogether without them"
The preacher accompanied these read
iDgs with a short discourse, and ended d
by saying: "Dear William, this is moth
ing more than drawing a curtain be-
tween us, IL you have, as ! believe,
made peace with Gcd. He will walk
down with you to JoTdsr's cold stream
and wade with ycu gently across to the
other shore; you will mount up on the
wings Of eagles beyond the sun, moon
and stars, to home IN heaven. Tne

While this hymn was being sung Will

of water, TemarkDg that be had been
taking medicine, which made his mouth
dry. By this time PaIson Pattison and
another colored friend came upon the
scaffold and shook hands with Williams,
who then knelt in prayer with Parson
Nightingale. At the conclusion of the
prayer, William Williams stood up
calmly, and thus spoke to the crowd:

The Ohio State Fair, at Columbus,

Of the Fair. IN no departments were
the entries more complete or the

DROWNED.

Saturday evening a young man by
the name of ThOs. Lamme, drove q
horse attached to 9 buggy into the
river at the foot of Market ST., and
both the manandhorse were drowned.
The facts in the case seem to be that
the man was sitting in front of Andy
Peck's livery barn when the horse and
buggy were returned, and without
invitation, jumped into the buggy,and
started towards the river with the
view of washing them off. A man in
the employ of Peck told Lamme to
get out of the buggy, but he whipped
up and started of. When he got to
the river he turned the horse around
and backed into the river, going too
far, the water upsetting the buggy
and pulling the horse beyond its
depth. The man is said to have been
a good swimmer, but il seems that he
made but little or no effort to
save himself, and the last time he was
seen was just before he reached the
wagon bridge. The bridge tender
run plank down to him, but he did
not try to catch it. His body has not
been found.

FUN tno AWAly VI ocpt los
This afternoon grand Tilden pro-
cession, consisting Of one old horse,
passed through the streets to the
music of ; wheezy hand-organ. The
horse was, perhaps, twenty or thirty
years old, perhaps has not had a good
honest feed since 1t was q colt, and
was about a. dilapidated as horses
ever get. Some artistic genius had
painted two large placards, which
were strapped on the horse like .
saddle, one Of which bore this In
scription, "Tilden or bust" and the
other Of like Significance. The old
horse took the middle Of the street,
and at leisurly gait passed out of
sight. The old horse and his placards
created . large fund Of amusement
for the boys until some anxious polit-
ical friend Of Mr.. Tilden's, coaxed
the old horse into an alley and dis
robed him.
