NOTES OF TIE EXECUTION.

NolEo UT hAE'N iiN-''
The funeral services were held at O'clock
in the prison corridor in which the execution
took place. Chaplain Mick OBLIGATED, reading
portion of the 23rd Psalm, after which he
made few remarks upon the evils of in
temperance as excmpliiicd by the solemn oc-
currcnccs of the day. Tatro's mother. two
sisters, three brothers and other relatives
were present and the parting scene was cx-
tremely sad and affecting. A beautiful
floral cross, presented hy the ladies of Wind
sor, Law upon the casket. The remains were
inferred in the new cemetery at Windsor,
IN lot purchased and presented by Col.
Hiram Harlow of Windsor, To Mrs. Tatro.
While Butler, the murdered woman's huS-
band, and others were waiting in the depot
at Windsor for the SIS train up, two of
Tatros brothers accompanied by several
others came into the waiting room and at
tractcd attention by their close watch of him.
At the sound of the whistle of the incoming
train. the Tatros and their companions
slipped out upon the platform, taking posi-
ton near the door. Fearing that they in
tended mischief, several gentlemen stationed
themselves on either side of Mr.. Butler as he
walked across the platform to the train.
Upon the appearance of Mr.. Butler, one OF
the Tatro party advanced toward him, but
seeing that Butler was not alone stepped
back As the train moved out of the depot,
a man on the opposite side from the plat
form shook his list at Butler, who sat near
a window Butler is large, red-facrd
man, light HAIR and mustache, six feet high,
weighs over two hundred pounds and is
thirty years old. When charged by Tatro
with being the instigator of his wife's muir
der, and ut times during the day when the
subject of the murder was under discussion
in his presence, he betrayed M emotion and
appeared perfectly Indifferent.

Is Dr. WentwortL's sketch of Bishop

Thursday, an allusion TO the patriotic bsh-

ton of Gen. Grant brought out an i'm
mediate response of applause. So in the

of delegate to something which happened
when Grant was President, coupled with a
parenthctical expression of belief that the
time was not far distant when he would be

accounts of the success of the Prince OF Wales's
tour in America, and of the, manly and gracious
bearing which won him the liking and admiration or
everybody in the United States, as well as IN the
English colonies. They were especially pleased by
a letter from President Buchanan TO the Queen:
when had the honor of addressing your Majesty
in June last, confidently predicted cordial well
come for the Prince Of Wales throughout this c0un-
try, should he pay ne visit on his return from
Canada to England. What was then prophecy has
now become history. He has been every where re-
eeived with enthusiasm and this is attributable,
not only to the very high legard entertained for
your Majesty, bat also to his own noble and manly
bearing He has passed through long ordeal Tor
person of his years and his conduct throughout has
been such as became his age and station. Dignihed
frank and affable, he has concihated, wherever ne
