Dying Scene, Speeches and Conduci.
We find the Mlowing accountof the exe
cution of Rettirn J. Ward, the wife mord.-
. er, in the Toledo Blade, of the.l2th inst.
Precisely at 11 o'clOck, Ward issued froth
his cell, attended by Father 0' Connor anil
Sheriff Springer. Two chairs ,were placed
on the platform of the gallows; in one of
which he took his seat, the priest and an
attendant- 4cc upying places at his side. The
house was perfectly still as ho took his
place. The prisoner, previously to being
brot4lit out of the cell, was dreadful ly snet-__
te - d, his pulse running as high as 120 to 130
per minute ; and for a half hour before leav
ing it, he was occupwd with the priest say
ing his prayers, and bidding goodbye to, a
few friends who visited him.
As they appeared and took places on the gal -
lows, one could have hoard a pin drop. his
limbs were secured by col Lathrop, of Syl
rams. Ward was dressed in a white robe,
white pants and w hite slippers, with a cross
around his neck, which he held in his ho rids.
He Sure while kid gloves, and trembled
violently ; but seemed more composed as the
priest whispered a few words to him. Sher
ill'Spiinger then read the death warrant Air
Ward's execution, and the certified copy of
ease from the court, to which the pris
oner listened with grea't attention.
IYard'a dying speech was simply the re,
ving of an over-excited and broken-down
elliul. Ile was so thoroughly unstrung that
his north; were inure like the workings of
insanity than intelligence. lie occupied the
platform in a sitting position for nearly an
hour, with the two priests by his side, and
spoke and prayed at intervals. Before be
commenced speaking one of the priests
whispered something in his ear. The•iiiitl-

in his ear, and he turned and said
"I suppose that a great many want to
know how I became a Catholic. Well; one
reason was, because I had more faith in
that religion :.,,Tiiiid then they came to rile
mordtenteel than the others ; and then the
other's wanted me to confess to killing' two
men more, am' I said I could not be saved un
less I did, when I did'nt do no such thing.
And they (the Catholics) only desired me to
confess only what I had done. Now. about

company, and neverstole any money at all.
I never stole ten dollars, nor five ; nor ono,
nor fifty cents, in my life. It's all just as I
tell nu: It's true—all true," '
He continued to repeat these and similar
expressions for some-time, and then referred
to his wife thug :
"I hope . that this will be a phtming to
many men. -I hope that...there will never be
any more crime in the world. Oh, I killed

A case was decided last week '44 , the
Co'urt of Appilds at Frankfort, Ky., which

justified in killing his assailant. The case
was from Grayson Cironit,'iii which ltlerg
ilith had been convicted of manslaughter
for the killiqg of or& *ltril.Ficked
him, and the lower court charged the Jury,
"jf Ireland asitaillted the defendant and ho
had reasonable grounds to believe he was.
in danger of sustaining great bodily harm,
or the loss of life from sueli assault, and if
necetsnry, to protect his life or person from
great bodily harm, he might kill Ireland if

the ,defendant tenth, hvc....vniely retreated
from the danger. and by that means have

court however, decided that this charge was
wrong 'Flint the Tory had nothing, to 110
with the question, whether 'the defendant i
could have safely retreat( il, that. being a
question to he settled by the defendant him
self. In the exercise of the judgment he
must act rationally, . Whether au...2•44.•iiit
nee.rwiity to kill extsted or not, was a gnus-
lion to he (Secided by Meredith at the time.
Though he may have erred in his lodgment
—though ho 'could have safely retreated,'
yet if he acted in good faith, and had ma- I

safety was to kill his antagonist, the law

A BRALIIIFI'L IDEA. —A way among the Al

single ex, on a summer's day, could drain It
dry. It steals its uuobstrusive way among
the lulls, till it spreads out Pn the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it stretches aa ay a thousand
miles, leaving on its banks More th au a hun
dred villages and cam., and many thousand
cultivated farms, and bearing on its bosom
more than half a thousand, steamboats. -
Then Joining the Mississippi. it stretelies
away and away some twelve hundred miles
more, till it nos into the great emblem of
eternity. it is one of the tributaries of the
ocean, which, obedient only to God, shall

the land, shall lift up his hand to heaven
anti swear that time shall he no *ger. So
