not ask or expect at the hands Of SO
just and humane Judge.


just and humane Judge.
Messrs. Hicks and Zollicoffer and
Solicitor Bernard had short talk with
the Judge when he asked for a calen-
dar. Then he commanded George
Brodie to stand up. Sentence of deaf
was then pronounce d, Judge Browns
remarks being full of seriousness and
solemnity. He told the prisoner at the
bar that he had had a fair, full and
impartial trial and that his conviction
was but the righteous result of his own
act. He had committed a heinous
crime-the highest offense known
against the law and society-the pen
atty of which was death. He had mar
rowly escaped vengeance at the hands
of an outraged people, and it was cred
liable to the citizens of Vance county
that he had been permitted to have a
trial in court. There was no hope for
him and he must not waste his time in
the vain hope Of escape from the fate
which awaits him. No one with au-
thority would dare interfere with the
course of the law in his case and he
should prepare to meet his doom.
Judge Brown then sentenced Brodie to
be hanged on Wednesday, the first day
of September-twow weeks from yester-
day. He said this was as short time
as he felt that he ought to make it and
he did not believe any one with heart
in him would begrudge the man that
little time to make peace with his Gre
ator.
Brodie took his sentence coolly.
His countenance betrayed little feeling
or emotion, and with the exception of
downcast look he did not seem to
be any more affected by the solemn
words and awful doom than any other
person in the house.
While every one regrets the unfortu-
nate occurrence that makes a hanging
necessary, and many have feeling of
pity for the poor wretch, there is
general satisfaction at the speedy trial
and prompt conviction. And so it will
ever be. There is law-unwritten
as we'll as written-that the bestial
brute who lays violent hands upon
woman to despoil her of her virtue, the
same shall die. In the heart of every
true man this law is as interchangeable
as the laws of the Modes and Persians.
A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diar-
rhOea.
In 1862, when l served my country as a
private in Company A, 10th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, | contracted chronic diarrhoea.
1t has given me great deal of trouble
ever since | have tried a dozen different
medicines and several prominent doctors
without any permanent relief. Not long
ago friend sent me a sample bottle Of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, and after that 1 bought and
took a so cent bottle; and now / can say
that | am entirely cured. 1 cannot be
thankful enough to you for this great Rem
edy, and recommend it to all suffering vet
Grams. If in doubt write me. Yours CRATE
