mate According to the Vermont
code, a criminal sentenced to capital
punishment has two years of respite
at hard labor after the passing the
sentence Of death. AS the time of
Phair's execution drew near, an ac-
count of the case was printed in a Bos-
ton paper, whereby it was brought to
the attention of reputed merchant o.
that city, and his recollection so re-
freshed that he was able to testify to
the alibi, which had been the main de-
fence of the prisoner. On his repre-
sentation the Governor of Vermont
granted a reprieve just as Phair was
worked about to mount the gallows
The evidence againstPhair was worked
up by detectives. He protested his
innocence, claiming that at the time
of the murder he was in Providence;
but, unluckily, he could not substanti.

A dispatch from Helena, Ark, an
nounces that General Gideon j. Pillow
of Mexican war notoriety and Brigadier
General in the Confederate service,
died yesterday at his ranch near the
mouth of the St. Francois river, that
State. Pillow was chiefly noted in
the Mexican war on account of his ar.
rest and trial by court-ma1tial on
charges of insubordination preferred by
General Scott. and in the rebel SER
vice was noted for similar exper-
ience and removal from command on
account of having run away at the sur
render of Fort Donelson. At the
time of his death he was in his 73d
