AGO q farmer named Horace Brooks.
Ii ing near the CITY, was atresed and
puk on trial, charged with 9 terrible
crime The Cleveland b Pittsburgh
R R,iiroad was belng huilt about that time,
and l. was constructed through the farm
of Brooks against his bitter opposition.
Hii mind was so emb,ttered against the
road that one dark night be went out
and placed distractions on the track and
q passenger train was thrown of aud
several persons were killed and a nam-
her n,re or less i ired. The deed
awakened terrible indignation against
the man and .here was talk of lyncSing
at the tine. He was put on trial, and it
heing shown to the satisfaction of the
jury that the deed was the result OF q
monomsnia that absorbed his mind, he
was convicted Of murder in the second
degree and sentenced to the OHIO Pfni
tentiary for life He was sent there in
.he late fall of 1851 and saw the outside
worli no more. He was man of mil
die age then, and he died within the
pris IN walls Yesterday an old man of
eighty three, having heen in continuous
imprisonment for thirty two years, and
wss the oldest convict in The state prison.
When B ooks entered the penitentiary
Cleveland was but small town, and his
farm had not house on it but the farm
hsil,lings. and it was quite little jour
rev from there into town. Nevertheless
Brooks old farm was in what is, now
the E ghteenth Ward of the city OF
Cleveland, and while the old man has
worn out his life behind the prison bars
the city has built np all over his farm.

it, would have, been worth many hundEed

cccentricities, unlike most precocious

and placing him on his coat at the foot
of a ladder fastened perpendicularly
against the hack of one of them, he pro-
ceeded TO the roof to make an investi-

occupied more time than he expected,
but was finally completed, and just as

Aweek or two after this occurrence this
little prodigy Of fearlessness was miss
