INDEPENDENCE DETERIORATION had been
made at several points in the county for fitting
| celebration of the birthday of American freedom,
but pouring rain, which began about ten
o'clock, dampened the ardor of the small boy
with his fre.crackers and bedraggled the plumes
of the Bird of Freedom 80 that he could not even
futter. The amount of eloquence thereby lost
to the world is incslculable. Some other day
1t may be warmed over but it will never be as
glowing, fervent or patriotic as it would have
been if delivered on Independence Day, with
the usual concomitants of brass band and the
cheers of an enthusiastic crowd.
In the afternoon the clouds broke and the sun
came out for a short time. About the same time
the youthful chivalry of Bel Air, gaily bedight
with scarlet knee brooches and caps of the same
brilliant hue, each one bearinga lance, marched
through the streets to the inspirlting music OF
a drum. The procession was the result Of the
joint efforts of Eddie French and Willie Hanna.
They intended to have grand foot tournament,
but the weather was unpropitious. This con
stituted the only public observance of the day
in Bel Air.
The gallant little knights held their tournament
on Wednesday, afternoon in DR.. Munnikhuysen's
woods. The following named boys took part
Harry Hanna, Charles Carver, Chapman Rouse,
Edward French, Harry Carver, Charles Whita.

The Canal Presidency.

The question of the Presidency of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is settled at last.
80 far as Mr.. Farnandis is concerned, by the
following letter from him, dated Bel Air, June
30, and addressed to Benjamin Fawcett, Sec.
rotary to stockholders, &C.:
"Your letter of the 2sth instant notifying me
by direction of Governor Hamilton, chairman
OF the late meeting of stockholders, of nv cleo.
tion as President of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, Is just received. Approaching
the fayorand confidence shown me by the tender
OF position of such Importance, it is with re-
greet decline the trust. Other duties and en-.
gagements which / cannot neglect would not
permit me to give to the affairs of the canal the
Time and attention necessary for its manap @.
ment. Please communicate to the stockholders
and to Governor Hamilton this answer. with
the assurance of my respect. Very truly, yours,
HENRY d. FARNANDIs."
The delay is therefore not attributable to
MIR. Farnandis, since he could neither accent
nor decline the Office until formally notified
of his election. 1t appears that Mr.. Fawce,t
secretary to the stockholders meeting was
not directed by Governor Hamilton to notify
Mr.. Farnandis until June 2sth.
Governor Hamilton has called the stock
holders meeting for July 10.

The Execution of Guiteau.

Guiteau on Friday last paid the penalty OF
crime upon the gallows and the majesty of the
law has at length been vindicated His last
night on earth was characteristic of his whole
career When his relatives entered his cell
he seemed much affected, but soon broke into
violent denunciation of "those murdercrs, y
as he called the wardens who had charge of
him. When it was time for visitors to retire
Guiteau threw himselfupon his bed lay there
quietly for few minutes and then jumping
up requested something to eat, partaking of
meal sufficient for two ordinary PERSONS
He requested his medical attendant ia care
fully inspect the gallows so that there might
be no bungle in the execution. He was very
apprehensive that an attack would be made
upon the Jail, and wished all persons to be
kept away from his window. Guiteau's spir.
itual adviser, DIR. Hicks, came to see him
about II o'clock and informed him that lie
intended to remain with him to the last, at
which he seemed much comforted. District
Attorney Corkhill and DR.. Mcdonald, of
New York, arrived at the Jail and held long
consultation with DR.. Hicks upon the subject
of the autopsy. 1t was finally concluded to
make the examination in the presence of a
number Of physicians equally representing
the defence and the prosecution.
On being taken to the scaffold the criminal
read his dying prayer, predicting the severest
judgments in store for the President, the
press and the American people in general,
declaring at the same time that only good
could come of the assassination of Garfield
The hymn which he chanted was in keeping
with the prayer-merc nonsense, a tumble of
the most senseless kind AT 12. 40 on Friday,
the spring was touched, the drop fell, and
Guiteau was suspended between Heaven and
earth There was scarcely any struggle, and
the body was cut down in about fifteen min
utes afterwards. The examination of the
brain revealed the fact that that organ weigh.
ed about 494 ounces, little more than the
average weight. 1t was well formed; the
lungs and heart were sound. The membrane
that covered the brain was unhealthy.
The body was buried in the northeast cor
ridor of the Jail and there in all probability
1t will remain. This, however, ia discretion
airy with the warden of the Jail. The pail
bearers were six Jail prisoners The brick
floor was taken up and grave seven feet
deep was dug. Not tear was shed at the
interment
And such was the end of Guiteau "Un.
wept and unhonorei," he died felon's death
and fills convicts grave. The result of
his fendish act has been more preaching
than even he anticipated. At the same time
the change might have been wrought by any
other criminal just as well, but Guiteau seems
to have been under the impression that he
would gain peculiar fame for his perform.
