CRIMINALS SENTENoED.-On Monday
night last J udge Dean imposed the follow
ing sentences the several parties who,
with a single exception, plead guilty IN our
county court last week of arson, burglary,
larceny, bigamy and riot. On behalf of
Mrs Kyle, VIM. Vanuett and David Huber
appeals to the mercy of the Court were made
by John Fanlon, Esq, and for young Goughe-
nour and Austin Lanntz like efforts were
made by John p. Linton and Daniel Nc
Laughlin, Esqs., respectively. We give the
sentences in the order in which they were
imposed, Judge Dean in the abundant good
ness of his great heart taking occasion TO
impart to each of the culprits in his turn n
few words of good counsel and kind admoni-
ton, which we trust they will not fail to
cherish aCd profit by
Franklin Gouguenour, who plead guilty to
eleven different indictments for burglar and

ignored by the 6 Grand Jury at his eX pense,
remanded to prison until the costs against him
are liquida ted, which may be for aye, but Is not
apt TO be forever.
During the time occupied in imposing the
various sentences an almost death like still
ness pervaded the entire assemblage, and 80
far we noticed not even a smile was in
dulgeh by any one except the two young
men Townsend and Goughrour, who above
all others ehOuld have been itnpr essed with
the soleinnity of the occasion, but who, judg-
ing from the fact that they frequently whis-
perrt. to each other and apparently found
more i'll the proceedings to Gmrse tnap dis
hearten them, seemed TO have little concep-
ton of the enormity of their offenses or the
iung Imprisonment which awaits them, and
which, IL some fortuitous circumstance does
not intervene TO prevent will deprive them
OF what should and II honestly employed
would be the happiest days OF their lives
When all over, young Goughnour drew
a cigar from his pocket, which he lit in the
Court House, and securely handcuffed to
two other companions in guilt, marched ont
with the air of cOnqueror rather than tie
crushed spirit of a condemned criminal.
