WORCESTER, MASS, May 26.-Samuel
Frost was executed this morning at the
county jail in this city at 10! o'clock for
the murder of bis wife's brother, F. ?.
Toune, July 4. 1875. in a barn on a farm
at Petersham, owned by TOune. When
the drop fell a terrible scene was enacted.
The fall was so great that the head Of
Frost was jerked from his body ard hung
only by ligaments. Blood spurted in
every direction wei the scafold and
floor.

THE Avalanche publishes a pro

THE Avalanche publishes a pro-
position from Bates & Locke to
print extracts from other papers,
enclosed on printed slips as solid
reading-matter. The consideration
for printing five of these newspaper
clippings offered is ten dollars
which is something under the regu'
lar rates. This is supposed by the
Avalanche to be an exposure OF
Mr.. Tilden. Really, we think 1t
looks rather the other way. Mr..
Locke, of the firm Of Bates 4 Locke,
is the notorious Petroleum v.
Nasby," who has done more to
insidiously malign the South and
plant deep the vital seeds of preiu-
dice and hate among the Northern
masses, who read only weekly pa
pers, than any man living, except
Th. Mast, the malicious cartoonist
of Harper's Weekly. Although Mr..
LOcke,::as a member of this firm,
is simply an advertising agent,
the public will always associate
his name with Petroleum V. Nasty
and the Toledo Blade, Of which he
was and perhaps is now proprietor.
Now we submit this common sense
proposition, which to any newspa-
per man, politician or intelligent
reader will be clear enough; that
neither Nj. Tilden nor any OF his
agents, if they wanted to advance
his reputation, would attempt to
do it through such pronounced Re-
publican agency as that Of Petro-
leum V. Nasty, of Confedrit Gross
Roads, wich is in the Stait Of
Kentucky" If Bates & Locke
have any authority to make
such an offer here and there over
the country it is far more probable
that it came from some Republican
committee than from any Democrat,
and we challenge that firm or any
body else to prove to the contrary.
The LEDGER does business more or
less with Bates Il Locke, but never
received such a proposition from
them or any other firm or person.
although the LEDGER reaches
more Democratic readers than
the Avalanche, and as many
as any other in the State.
1t is customary during Presidential
campaigns to distribute document
and to have speeches published ii
newspapers. The aspirant5 may
not have a hand in it, but they
must know such things are don,
since the printing press has usurpec
the functions of the stump. 1t i
rather late to trump up charges Q
corruption or mean practice
against such a man as Tilder
Whatever else may be said, h
stands before the American peopl
a pure and fearless man. We woul
say this much of him if he wer
not a Democrat.
