Beaa"aaaaaeBaaBJaaeeBB Execution of Jobs KBdjr for Murder, t taiUBi M. V. In ye sterrlaj's Telegraph there was Riven the de.aile of the murder ot Tuouins Hand by John Kennedy, at Canton, N. Y and the preparations lor tbe execution of tbe latter, Accoiding to o;poiiitnieii, Kennedy exp ated his crime yes terday on the scaffold. A correspondent writing Jrom tbe wcne savs: "Throtmb the courtesy of Sheriff Chapin your Tcporttr was ei. aided to visit the prisoner In his cell on a day shortly previous to nls ex.ecu.ion. lie appeared tn poo l spirits and con versed freely upon "matters pertaining to himself. Ha was drescd In grey pant, a knit jacket, and figured et-t, and wore a white shirt, it n a striped paper collar, aud somewhat fanciful necktie. On a table in the corndor to which he was allowed access wa- the representation of a cru cifix drawn upon a sheet of looNcap. at which he had becu at work, under which was written, wih a tntle of eeoiUui, "1 his was drawn by ji bn Kennedy, in Canton jail, November, 1837." Tue prl.'Oiiir admitted mat he had made a verbal confession ot his guilt on that day to the I'istritt Attorney ou r-ee.vine ihe aasurnce tht ti be could implicate any ot.e else In the affair that a stay ot proceedings wouid be ob tained, and that be would be allowed to turn evidence against hioi and receive a sentence of imprisonment, lie undoubtedly endeavored to convince thnt ofbcer that he had an accomplice, but It seems that his etory was not considered worthy of attention, as the main points of the evidence upon which he ws convieeJ led to the conclusion tbat the deed was committed by one ersou alone. The cell ot the prisoner opened upon a corri dor, tow uich he was allowed Iree accjns and which overlooked the jard of the jail, where the scatloid was to be erected. Wbeu it became necehf ary to construct this instrument of deatn the jailer proceeded to his cell lor the purpose of removing him to anotoer part of the building, in order to spare him tbe torture which It was naturally supposed would be inflicted upon his mind by perceiviLg the preparations of his approaching doom. He was quick to divine tLe object of this, and earnestly protested upaiust being removfd. "Do not think," aid he, "that I care for jour preparations or will be troubled by havirg a gallows betore me. Iam not made of any such stuff." He was allowed to remain and with the utmost coolness viewed its (net ion irom his window during the day, for the sciiflbld was a new one, executions being raie occurrences in St. Liwreuce county, and occasionally dieting a candid and well received sue erection to tbe woikmen engaged upon it. He aho desired to see ihe sheriff aud requested very particularly that h mignt be 'urnished with a lush ot able suit ot clothes lor the event, and that, above all, the best cothn that could be pro cured should be provided, addingtbathis friends would pay the difference in cost bstweeu it aud a poor one, as they would dislike to have his remair.8 forwarded to them in a cheap one. Lvery preparntion was made, the executioner was present, the jurors assembled, and many ot the invited Fpeotators coourepated, and Ken nedy had retired to his couch in tue full expec tancy that the morning's eua would be the last CDe whose light he would ever behold, when, alter 9 o'clock P. M , an order lor a stay ot pro ceedings was served upon the dheritf, and the ext cution po.-tpoied indefinitely. Keuuedy was, ot courte, aroused aud informed ot ihecaange in the aspect of fit' airs. Tbe intelligence he re ceived very coolly, remarking that ho was "glad lo hear it; but It tbe thiutr had to finally occur, or he thould be reprieved to imprison ment for Hie, it would be better hd it gone on. ' About twenty minutes past 1 o'clock the pro cession entered the jail yard. Pew persons were permitted to be present wiihin the walls. At the hour stated the solemn procession entered in the following oidw: The jurors, eheritl, deputb s, pntouer accompanied by a Roman Catholic cleigv man reidiua the dy.ne service, chor stirs reading responses, and policemen. The prisoner was attired in a snort woollen coat of a eluik hue aud pants of tns same material, wlite scalloped bosom, without collar, and brown and wbie siockines. Being placed upon the scaffold and the services completed, thopriboner sileutly bade adieu to a lew irieuas, una tneu eiiooh nanus wun snerm Tanner, vtbo impressively said, "May God bless your t-oul." The black cap was then drawn over his lace, and at precisely thirty minutes past one o'clock the r-ienal was given by Deputy fcueriff Whitney, the rope was cut. and as tbe body bhot upward a heart-rending shriek pierced tbe air Horn au upper story window of the jail, to which several lemale friends of the prisoner bad by tome means obtained access. His neck was lot broken, tnd death ensued by slow strangulation. Lite was pronounced extinct in thirty minutes, and alter allowing the body to hang fix mmui.-s longer, it waa lowered and placed in tbe coffin prepared for it. DISASTER. Loss of the) Yacht Challenge. Th New ork Wond of this morning says: At a lute hour last evening we received intelligence of the total loss ot the yacht Chal lenge, belonging to Mr. Jacob Lorrillard, of this city, while bound out f'om the port of Para in Brazil to New York city. The Challenge was modelled and built by Captain Pith, a well-known yacht builder, and was regarded as a first-class Yacht iu yachting circles. The Chalk-nee was 310 tons burthen, and was originally built in May, 18G5, for pleasure sailinir. She was very heavily sparred ; in fact, she hud a& laree $iai at auy incrcbaut veftel, and in a lrcb bnezo could only be compared to the Dauntless for her brraiiu of canvas and manner of tailiug. Tue Coal let e failed from Para for this port with a cargo of bluing and Iuoia rubber, the estimated value ot which was about $J0;i; partially insured. The vessel herself was valued at aoout $50,01)0 by her owners, but would probably briug tor Yachting purposes about tKO.OOO, as the has been used ever sioce sue was built for the par pose ot carrying merchandise. Tbe Challenge has earned caigoes of fruit between Havana and New York c tv. The Challenge was the lHreet3acht ever built in Aiut-rica, with the exception of Mr. Kiugslaud's Alirm. The )oa ot the Cuallcnge was owing to her having run on a reef about 11 milea from Para, outward bound. The crew, ot a dozen uieu, becaane Irijiht em u kt o Ceu.oraiiZ' Cl anile diuer.and although Captain FLU and bis officers attempted by in am torce, witii loaded pistols, to prevent therh irom dierimp. jet they uturl.v retu-ed to obey their oflicers' orders, and, tukiuir to the boats, deserted the ves-el. When they left the vessel was fast Cuing to pieces on the reef. The 0 Hi cers and crew were pu ked up by the steamship llisMt-sippi, and they reached New York city laie 1m evei nig. Tbe Challenge was a swut Loaf, having at one time nif.de the passage to and Iro between t'ara uud Sew York in about flity-feven days, which is con-idered very quick time. Tbe owner also at oi e time oti'ered to n alcb iho Challenge against tbe yacht Sappho lor a huge sum o! money, but the slakes were Lever put down tn run tn race. The Challenge whs a keel boat, dinVring entirely from her ma e the Vi'a In her liguine rd spurs. The ioteiior ot tLe Challftiga was fitted um very handsoxely, but at the mine lime wa very laiu iu appear ance. CRIME. A Mutdar DIeovrtd Afur Two Yr.

(Since then he has not been heard from. His continued absence, toaetber with tbe fact that he was known to have considerable money, aroused a fear that he had been tou'.ly aealt with. One day last week Sheriff Carr, per authority, searrbed the person and prenvses of a Mr. , who resides in the same building, or near it, with Martin. Illlon's receipt for the $900 was found in the possession of tbe accuaed, who claimed that he found it near Shunk river. A box of ashes, securely nailed up, was also found, and in these ashes were found bones, which, upon examination of twoortbree pbv slcians, deputed tj examine tbem. proved to be human bones, while tbe third decided that they were not. Accused claimed tbat he had been neing tome old spoiled meat for fuel." SWINDLERS. How Pittsburg BuilBin Men Were Duped. The Pittsburg Kepvbhc of Tuesday last says: About two mouths since two men made their appearance in this city, and opened a commis sion and prodt'ce store ou Perry street, under tlio firm name of It. E. O-vens & Co. The bund ing bad been unoccupied lor some time, and ibe neighbors were gratified when, they were in lormeit.oy the firm that they intended to carry on an extensive busiuess. Tbe s'.ore-room was refitted, and in a tew days atterwurds the esta blishment was filled with apparently a lull stock of goods in their line, con sisting ot bacon, cheese, batter, egg, tic. After they had been in bjsiness a lew days they called upon several of their neighbors, and succeeded in securing leans of small sunij of money, wbich were repaid with commendable promptitude. They were, to all appearance, enjoying a good trade, and con siderable biirpnse was crea'.ed In the neigh borhood a lew mornings ago, when the store remained cloed after business hours. Tbe owner of the building was advised of thecir cumbtance, aud his suspicions being arouse J he concluded to vUit the prem'Ses. Tue door was opened, and an investigation discloed the fact tbat the tierces and cheese boxes were empty ; the entire stock In trade consisting of tuiee oatuasea cbeeccs, two crocks ot butter, and a barrel of suspicious-looking eggs. A pair ot tcules and an trou sale completed the inventory, iiefore the landlord had re covered from his surprise a Lioerty street merchant arrived with a bill for several hun died barrels of flour. Upon being informed of the condition of aC'airs tbe merchant took im mediate measures towards having tbe block seized lor his benefit, but the Deputy Sheriff, after inspecting the assets, declined to make a seizure, as they would hardly pay the costs. In the meantime the number ot creditors in citased, a tobacconist on Pourth street, being anxious tor the payment of a claim iucurred by the firm in the purchase of a lot of cigars, and a poor woman who keeps a crockery store in the vicinity, ior $40 worth ot goods which she bad tola them ou tbe previous day on credit. It has since been ascertained that their operations were quile extensive, and that a large number ol Liberty aud Wood street merchants are on the list of victim", the total amount being variously estimated at from $5000 to $10,000. It is also stated that tbe Express Comptny ad varced money on two tons of butter, which they alleged was in transitu between this city and hew York. The parties represented themselves to be tesidents ot Chicago, and men of means. Upon their arrival here they called upon one of our principal manufacturers, and inquired as to tbe standine of our city banks, stating taat they were about to embark in business, aud desired to place on deposit several thousand dollars. Tbe information they aked lor was given, when they selected a bank, but unfortunately ior the creditors they neglected to make a de posit. The senior member of the late firm is uf paren'ly about forty-five years ot use, and the junior thirty LUDICROUS. A Laughable Coatretempe at a Colored Party. Tie Detroit Free Press gives the subjoined account of a must ludicrous catastrophe which occurred at a colored festival that came off in a pjuna-iurn bull in tbat city ou Mouuay even ing last: "The colored population a-seinbled were enjoyine themselves hugely. The ivory bhone resplendent, the latses were in delight, aud tbe gem men of color could not show off oue hall the joy they lelt on tbe occasion. They ached to find new means ot displaying taeir testacy, and, with it, their aeihty. At last come one discovered the Udder which extends across tbe hall for exercise in hauging by the hands, and moviug back and forth by these meaus. Several ambitious young tetiows instantly set on ana exercised in mis way lor some time; but, as the table of refresh ments was set immediately uuderuea.h, tbe spcrt was toi bidden. But the temptation was too great to be resisted, and the chanci of dis play too rood to be lost, and pretty soon Pomp Smith, a coon ot large proportions, seizing his oppoituuity, set off swinging hun-eif across the hall, suspended by h's arms, irom round to round of the ladder. He was discovered just as be bad reached a point over the centre of the table, and ordered back, but, determined to go through, he redoubled his energies aud 6truck out boldly. An instant and he lost hold by one band a struggle to recaiu bis grasp loosened the prip ot the other baud, and, quick ad light ning, and with the weight oi a inunaerooit, to tbe consternation aud dismay of the gazing mul titude, the white of every eye by this time being turued up "to see what all de fuss was about," Pompey tell spank into the middle of the well filled table, Hat on bis back. Ills posterior parts crubhed into the gorgeous glass centre-piece, breaking it into smiibereens, one toot kicked a turkey into the crowd, the other landed a pie into tr.e lap of au ebony damsel; the head of tbe fallen body bounced into a dish of icecream, while the frantic bands aud armn did desperate work into dishes and eatables all around. A froutic shriek ot dUmay rent tbe air lor blocks around; imprecations, cries, and laughter fol lowed, and an indescribable scene ot contusion filled the hall. "Uit out o' dat grub, you culied cut I" yelli-d the waiter. Oh, Lord I" shriened Dinah, "de dinnus's dun goue spiled, to' stiuj" and a thousand other lameutitious and ejacu lations were heard in intcrmin"led confusion. At last tbe overpowering ludicrousness ot the situation burst upon the party; they forgot their losses utitl the scene around them, and burt into the wildest goffavs of boisterous laupbter. Pen or pencil could not do justice to the scene. It could only be appreciated by au Cje-witwese FRANCE. Am KxtraortlIary Klectlos Sceae. The .Dw te rn Jntrnaiona of Nimes, rrance, has the following account of tome Birane pro ceedings: "ticarcely was the hall tiled by tbe voters than the Police Commissioner, followed by some of bis subordinate-), entered, and, addressing tbe proprietor of the building, sum moned bim to disperse the meeting. Tbe latter, feeling be was acting iu accordance with the law, relumed; whereupon a discussion, which lasted eight or ten minutes, ensued; during which the liberal candidate, M. Cazot, entered and was loudly cheered. He immediately attended the huntings aud protested enerce I caily aeainst the presence of the Police Con miseioner in the hall, at the same time demand ing that pprlect tranquility suoull be main tsmed, which injunction was btuctly obeyed. Not a diiilojal cry was uttered; merely observa tions were beard such as 'J'lua de Candida, a oJ,ct',' 'SVe shall all vote,' etc. "At this juuature a door at the lower end of the b'lild'ug opened, aud a s'rong oetachnj'iit of military, accompanied by a dense crowd, entered. M. Cazot was taken by the collar, aud committed lo tbe charge of four privates. U. Haraenon was captured by the Police Commlv tiouvr himself, aud by an officer with a drawn sword. M. Ouillou, the proprietor of the hU, an aped man, with one leg, was seized and carried or), without either bis crutch orbatl beveral otber arrests meanehlle were mde whilst the principal actors wero being that made prisoners. One gentlemaa, M. Ganier, received a sabre thrust in the side. OatslJe tbe building the troops w re In line, and the K ot act was read tnreetlu es to the crowd, whici, considering prudeuee to be the better part of valor, quietly dispersed. Tbe Procureur Impel lal now made his appearance, ami wentuu to the prisoners, who were eat-b guarded by tour privates. W. Cazot aud M. Ouiilon protested that tbey had a right to hold a private meetiag. 'Very well,' rcp'ied the Procureur Imperial, 'this remains to be proved; yoa may retire. 'As you c nsider that you have arrested us legally, was the reply ot thee gentlemen, 'send us to prison.' 'NojEohom; you are free.' Accord ingly MM. Cnot, Guillou, and Baragnon were tuned Into the street." The following version of the affair is given bj the Covrtier du Gard:"l. Breton, owner oi a house in the Place de l'Ortoirc, had let tbe ground floor of h's premises lor thch 'ldiugof an electoral meeting, liq was in'orroed that as t lie law lot bade such assemblies wt'bln five days of the votintr, tbat witch was announced couid not be toletated.

IatnrReata Butrouad Cape Ilaytlea Victory of Normll Over tbe Oovera meat Troopi, The New York flVra'd'scorresoondent, writiug from Kineaton, Jamaica, July 30, says: By the arrival ot the Alma to-day Irom Cpe Hay ti, in lour days, I team that the pltceissur lounded by the revolutionists, aud thai com munication with toe interior bud been cut of, to tbat neb her coffee nor logwood can find Us way to tbe coast lor shipment. As a result of this vessels cannot find cargoes. Advices have already gone 'o the Unred States to coun termand the sailing of vessels lor Haytien pons with provis-ion, as no return cargo can be tur nibbed. Thiee vts-els Irom the States, laden, have arrived in Kingston from Hayti, hiving been unable to theie unload tbe'r caigoes. The next news Irom Port au Prince Is to the 2Stb, brought by ber Britannic Majesty's steamer Muilet, which, armed at Port ltojal on the eventcg ot the 28th. Early on tne mornme ot July 23 General Normil quitted his portion ot tbe insurgents' lines around Port au Prince, evaceaticg tbe Liuhtbouse and Carrefouis, una hu-riedly proceeded to Petit Goave, arriving there the same evening. Tbe place was and has been for some time in tbe possessiou of the reac tionists, or interior partisans ot Salnave. These Mormil attacked at once, and after a long and desperately contested engagement he remained master of tbe held and ot the town. The loss was heavy on both sides. In his abandonment ot Candours Morniil had to leave b"biud three pieces ot artillery for want of transportation. The cannon were spiked aud otherwise rendered unserviceable. The same day Sal nave's forces occupied Carrefours, and ot course lound the spiked guns. A hiebly self laudatory aud bom bastic proclamation was thereupon published by his sable Excellency, informing tue people of Hayti iu particular and mankind iu general what mighty trophies had been captured by his army. n tbe same day (July Ti) Baluave, em boldened byhisreoccupatiouof Carretours, made an attack upon the po ittousof General Faubert, taking 1500 picked men with bim and leading tbe assault in peison. Defeat, and not success as he anticipated, was his reward. Alter losing many of his best soldiers he had to abandon his enterprise aud return to his lortirjcaiieuB. The main fighting on this occasion was done in and about ihe village of La Coupe. Unaware ot the fall of Petit Goave, the commander of the Government corvette Njlvain (late Twenty-second December) on Jul v 24 .teamed into the port, when the refolution ibts attacked the vessel and captured her. This is a bard blow to Suhiave'o fortunes, and ma terially lessens his chances of success. Tbe in surgents are likely now to endeavor to shut up Port au Prince on tbe seaside from the outer world, as tbey have done on the land side. General Jobn Lynch, the famous Cacos leader, has had the whole forces ot the revolution placed under his command. This has been done in order to promote a unity ot action, hitherto lacking in the military actions ot the insurgeurs. General Lynch, not being an aspirant for the Presidency, and the main leaders, Nissage-sagct, Hector, and Paubert, each coveting .he position, tbe selection made is no doubt a judicious one. such as will preclude the personal jealousies tLat would have resulted bad either ot the other thiee generals been selected. Despite ibis wise action towards a concentration ot their efforts the insurgents are not prospering as they had reason to expect a lew weeks aao. Great dis content exists among tbe men of the line because ot tbe slow and unsatisfactory progress of the siege of port-au-Prince, and many are daily deserting. Ou tbe otber haud tbe caaee of Hal nave is looming up. The lower classes of the capital tLe women particularly are very en thusiastic in their support of bis claims, while in the interior he is gaining in popularity. Tue Piquets are very active in his behalf. SO UTU AMERICA. Vne Mlalsterlal Crlala Attack of tbe Paraguajraas oa a Brazlllaa Iroa-clad.

Ou the morning of the 9th the Paraguayans made tbe attempt on the Brazilian iron clads at Tuyl. of which deserters bad previously given warning, Ou that morning, before sunrise, twenty or so carocs, laden with some three hundred Paraguayans, dropped down to Tavt, and, al'boueb seen, threw themselves bololy upon the casemate gunboat Barroso and the monitor Rio Grande, which were anchored in fionl ot the fort.

The Washington correspondent of the Syra cuse (N. ,) journal, of August 18. sajs: It is uncersrood here ibat Rosecrans objects strenuously to certain leatures ot his instruc tions with letrard to Mexican affairs. Tbe sur mibe is made that two points are ad rotly pre sented; one intended to hold tbe repuolican Juarez administration responsible for some ol the Thurlow Weed-Clarence Seward speculations uiioe-r the empire. Tbeie is an Imperial Express Company, asirret railway s stein, railroad and teiegrupb contracts, etc., in which the Me York speculators were greatly interested. Another point is reportel to look to war is efforts lor the cession ot a portion of Northern Mexico. It will be remembered that very soon after the surrender ot the Rebel armies General J. M. Sen ootid, now Secretary ol War, visited fcurope, ostensioly on leave ot ab-ence. He was gone t erly twelve months, and spent uust of tbe time at the Austrian and r'reuch capuais. Toe General was accompanied by two ades-de-camp, which was to tbe more ob-erviug re garded a. evidence that bis vi-it was not merely private, but had some semi official sizuitic mce, military or omerwK-e. Toe truih is the General was scut to Europe on a dip'omadc missiou, wiih a view to luduce tbe withdrawal of the foreign troops then su-taiting Maximilian. They were withdrawn.

By the way, it may be a fact worth remembering hcrea Ur thit the French Emperor otlcred the priio aimed at in the Impel lal Mexican scheme to the Austrian Archduke three years betore the la.ter actually accepted it. This appears Irom recent Franco Mexican papers no being prepared oy piomment French publicist, who was Mix's confidential correspondent in Paris.

All th plunder of tbe enemy, with twenty-four prisouers all natives of Cbihuahua -remained in the hands of tbe victors.
