purest Legislators that ever lived and charge
up to the state an enormous whisky bill

not drink alone that sends men to prison,
it is saloons. Close the saloons and men
who must drink will drink at home,a AS they
do coffee and tea, then if they must say
''here's your good health, may you live
long and prosper" it will be husband to

duty and his best, and God will take care
of the result"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Harington's
address, Mr.. Lawrence spoke briefly of the
little support that the temperance
cause received from the churches and
stated that at the conference at
Owatona, where Mr.. Satterlee had gone,
he had been refused entertainment. DR..
Emery rose at this point and amid vocif-
erous applause spoke of the insult offered
Mr., Satterlee at Owatonna. He said, 'had
Ingersoll, Cook or any other infidel visited
the town they would have received him
with JOY and open arms, but we will make
it interesting for these people,
We will make it interesting,
too, for the Pioneer Psesssand the Tribune

can find a point upon which to attack US,
and the Tribune, that contemplate, no.

Fifty yards from where I write stands
the monument over the grave of Patty
Cannon. Patty died while under sentence
of death, and was buried in one corner of
the Jail lot in this town. There are few
who are of the opinion that she bribed the
sheriff and escaped, while some one elss's
remains we're inferred at the spot men
toned as a ruse to cover her fight. The
monument over her grave is nothing more
than a small shanty built to cover the new
road Machine bought by the town, but the
town fathers once selected and marked the
spot as the site of Patty's grave,
and since then the mark has gone
by the name of ''Patty's monument"
Patty gained her notoriety by the crimes
she committed. When about to die she
confessed to having killed eleven persons
with her own hands; that she had been an
accessory to many other murders, and had
killed her own offspring, and murdered her
husband by administering to him dose Of
poison. Patty was the granddaughter of
an English nobleman, who disinherited her
father because he made a foolish marriage.
The hot-headed son and his new wife
crossed the ocean to Montreal. The hus-
band could not get along, and died a vic
tim of the flowing bowl. Patty's mother
took to keeping boarding-house, and at
her mothers home a man named Cannon,
of this country, while on tour through
the North met the pretty daughter, fell in
love, and married her. Cannon
brought his wife here, but Patty tired
of her husband in time, and after
accomplishing his death as narrated she
entered upon career Of crime unequalled
in its shocking barberity and bloodthirsti-
ness. She moved to Johnson's crossroads
and opened hotel, which she made a
headquarters for slavs-dealers who passed
through the lower county of Delaware. At
this hotel she, with her associates, murder
ed and robbed the wealthy slave-dealers
who there sought lodging.
Some time after moving to the cross
roads she fitted out a slave-boat, which
piled between Philadelphia and point ON
the Delaware bay convenient to her head
quarters. Her slave trade was not of a
kind then sanctioned by law. She adopted
a cheaper method of obtaining supply of
slaves than that of paying cash for them.
Patty kidnapped them. Her plans for
capturing the Philadelphia negroes were
we'll laid and generally successful.
She employed an intelligent color
ed man named Ransom and sup
piled him with the money necessary to ac-
complish his purpose. Ransom's head
quarters were on the SLAYER, and his dark
deeds were done under cover of the night.
The plan was to make himself agreeable
to persons of his own color. He treated
them frequently to drinks and got into
their good graces in various other ways
known to one so we'll skilled in the arts of
deception. When he had secured the con-
fidence of his victims, he had little trouble
in persuading them to accompany him to
the boat that lay at anchor in the Delaware.
But as soon as they were got on board the
matches were closed upon them and they
were put in chains. Sometimes five or six
would be captured in this way in single
night, and then the boat would weigh an
Choir and sail down the river a short dis
tance, only to return and repeat the
crime, until sufficient number
of negroes were captured to fill the hold.
Then they were shipped to point down
the bay; carried from thence by the way
of Johnson's cross roads to the Chesa-
peake Bay, and from here shipped to the
South. Patty also had in her employ an
old negress, who kept in the lower part of
the city an infamous house, which was the
favorite resort for colored people of both
sexes, and thither Ransom would often go
for recruits.
Neither Patty nor her accomplices
seemed to possess the least spark of human
feeling. If, after a lot of negroes had
been kidnapped, it was found any of them
were old or inirm, and not worth the ex-
pense of transportation, they we're thrown
overheard and drowned. Or, if any of the
females had children who were trouble
