• About tbe year 1700, a young gjrl
named Sarah Clark lived in the family
of' Mr. Jobu Douglass. . While’.’fiviug
there she con traded a strong attachment
for a sou of Mr. Douglass, who was at
that time paying utteullou to Miss Ann
Carothers,. liviug wilh'her father, Job n
Carothera, near (Silver'a Spring. Sallie
Clark deteruilned to destroy the, life of
Ann Carothers, and thereby gain the
object of her fondest affections. With
this object lu view«she hired asa servant
In the house ol Mr. Carothers, aud bided
her lime. Having ho ill will against the
family! she desired to pu(aoa Ann-by
heraeif, and with this intent purchased a
,ot of arsenic; but no suitable opportuj,
Ully for this olfenug, she grBw desperiue'! !
and put the arsenic into a pot of leaven.
The family all ate of the bread, and be
came sick; John Carothers died on-the
2(lth of February, 1708, pud his wife Mary
died soo'u afterwards; biitAnu Carothers
survived; and the fiendish passions ol
this Sarah Clark again promoted; her,
while se \Vlng at the, bedside of Aha
(carothers, to give her another dose of
arsenic, in a bowl of barley, and, nil.l •;
but'even this failed of lts deadly purpose,
and Ann, huvlug partially, recovered,
was taken to live with a relative',, ilr.
Thomas Carothers Fimlinguo other
means of access to the object,of‘her re
venge, Satab Clark gained .access tb the
spring house of’’Thomas Carothers, and
pul a quantity of arsenic luto the butter,
hut iu this, she was discovered iiuVl Sub
sequently arrested'. She was, tried; In
Cur.iale, at the’October term of Oyeraud
Teftuluer, 1798. The deteuddtit’a couu
sel.moved to- quash the indictment,
for the /.ieaaou that the venire hud been

ney replied that tho h|gh Bhyritf, John

the first degree, aud at the August term.
. 1799, was sentenced to pe-bung.:, A short
time before her execution, she subscribed
t.j the following coufessiou:

and his heavy blows, as vvell as her cries

heard by the passers by. eljbe

gashes out b.W head and face, while a

ierrllily cut and bruised, bo lifted up bis
.band and swore, in the presence of a
witness, “By God I’ll kill her, and,think
no more of if than I wou-d to kill a dog.”
The day after Hie fall of the deep enow,
which some people Hying still remember,,
on the last of March, 1807, Donally bent
ills wife Hi such a cruel and brutal man
ner, that she was forced to run away and
seek shelter and protection iu tbe bouse
of a neighbor. Tbe next day, she chang
ed her bluing place, aud so from day to
day, Donally. jn the .meantime Aiding;
frpfti house to bouse, With a loaded gun,
threatening to shoot any one who would
conci'al her. Anxiety for the safety of
her children .Anally induced her to re
turn home, let the consequences be what"
they might. When she reached tbe door
i of, the house, Dinally.-Arst: knockedfiler
down’, and then bade iier to go around to
the other door. When she got there, he'
told her to go to the other door, and thus
kept her going backwards aud forwards
iu the untrodden snow, until she was
almost perished ■ with cold. On one oc
casion; ipuder cries for itielp than usual
were beard to issue from the Donally'
mansion—after which Catherine Duually'
was never again seen lu tho neighbor
hood. When qut aliened by the neigh

away «Ith another man ; but Ills eldest
cljiid revealed the secret, that bis father
had brought Ids mutheriu from the field,
insensible, mid laid her ou tbe bed. , The
boy asked “Is mammy dead? ' 'Donally
replied; “No, you damned rascal— don’t
you see her byes are open—she is ouly

father to the barn,'vVhero they were kept
until they wbre almost starved, (subse

amongst the ashes lu the'fireplace, and
in a heap of ashes neara tree which stood

with a wagon whip auil with a pair of

destroyed the remaining spark of Jlfe.—
It is evident that he must pave beat tier
there severely with the whip. Cries were

but yesterday be was unusually calm,
and requested to be furbished with, wri

Carefully what be intended to say at the

written, by himself and published in this
Journal and elsewhere will abundantly
prove. Be is also soinewhat of an artist.

. HISTORY Of TUB CASE.
On the Monday evening before lasl
New Year's* day, Titus came to the house
of his mother in law, Mrs. Fry, in com
pany with Stuhm. titahm hud a
considerable quantity of money la his
possession, and on several occasions gave
Titus money to boy flour, coffee and leu
with. Titus' demands upon Stallin'*
exchequer became rather, trequeuti uu<i
the la'.ter dually refused to furnish uu.\
more money,, saying that he would have
to save his mouey, us he UMg;h{..get bi
leg broken, or take.sick, or betlirbwn
out of employment. At tuis Titus seem*
ed to be somewhat provoked, and the>
subsequently, the same aiteruoou, De
cember 30, wont to the woods, to cui
wood. Titus came home iu the evening
alone, and add he had left Stahm in the
woods. The' next day, he was away u
portion of the time, and, upon returning,
said he hud left Stulim in town—tlmi
they bad had a quarrel. The next da*
Titus took the sh yel and put it iu the
hog pen, and subsequently returned and
'look his wife to making
purchases at several stores to the amount
of thirty or forty dollars. The day foi
, lowing Titus took the ’shovel and again
went Into the woods, and, when he re
turned, there was mud upon, his face auu
clothes.. He again went to town, and,
during bis absence, the family of Mrs.
Fry, suspecting that all was not right,
'followed lils footsteps in the supw, {nto
the woods, and there on the border of a
P 'ud, iu a secluded portion of the womis.
they saw the evidences of murder, and
gave the alarm to the neighbors. The
body of Stable was discovered, stripped
of clothing and buried under a foot ; .oi
earth-and snow, on the border’df the
pond. There was a wound on.the skull,
siiflieieut iu itself to cause death, aud the
head was almost entirely severed from
the body, apparently by a blow from an
axe. The clothes of titahm were found
secreted in a pile of rails, between the
spot of the murder and the residence 01
Mrs. Fry. When arrested and brought
Into the presence .of the dead body 01,
Stahm, Titus became fearfully agitated,
ahd admitted that be aud btalun bad
quarreled, aud tie bad hit him with the
axe. He said “I first.hit him in the head
with the poll of the axe, and then cut him
in the ileek with the bit." After bis ’are
rest, in numerous letters, he admitted
that he bad killed Stabm, aud when tbe
case came ou for trial, he pleaded guilty,
contrary to the advice of. his counsel. 1>
then devolved upon the court, iu pureu
ance of section 82 of the criminal code, “to
proceed, by the examination of witnesses,
to determine the degreeof ihe crime, and
to give sentence accordingly." After u
patient hearing, and thorough delibera
tion, the court, in August, adjudged the
defendant to beguijiy of murder of the
lirbt degree, and sentenced him to be

AN INTERVIEW.
During the greater, part of the morh
ng bis wife wad 1# his cab. The part
ing between them was affecting in the
extreme. At about oho o’clock Messrs.
Humrich & Parker, counsel for the pri
soner visited him.. Mr. Humrich said:
“ Adam, wo have come to bid you a
lust farewell and Mr. Parker said,
•‘Adam, good-bye.” He clasped their
hands with great earno-tness, and said,
“ Gentlemen, I am very thankful for
what you have done for mo; We will
never meet again on earth, but 1 hope
we will all meet in Heaven.” Mr. Hum
rich then said, “Adam, if there is any
thing that wo can do for you, you must
t«ll us„” He replied, “Thank you, Fa
ther Kuppernagle will take cure of me."
Lie- then again bid farewell to his
friends.
In tue interval between one and half
post one, tue priest and he were busily
engaged at their prayers. An ullur had
been eroded in the cell, on which then
were a crucifix, an image of the Virgin
Mary, and three lighted candlesi At
times the condemned man seemed to be
singularly self-possessed, at others his
voice was broken with emotion. He
remained kneeling, with the cross in
Ills hands, until almost half-past one
when he came out of his cell, and stood
In the corridor, conversing with the
priest and some of the attendants.—
there , was a look of resignation, and
almost of happiness, on his face. Not
knowing our name, he took our hand
and said “ good bye, gentleman.”
PRELIMINARIES,
At half past one the Sberiffentered the
prison, followed by ; a small number ol
spguiatorii. The names of the following
jurors were then announced; Peter Spuhr,
Theodore Corumau, George S. Seurigbt,
J. H- fiosler, J. F. Juukin, Emanuel
Like, M. G. - Bute, Burn!. If. Adtlanis,
Henry Pislee, John Burris, J.’T Zug
and John Jacobs- The Sheriff'then ap
preached tiie prisoner and bid him take
bis arm; they walked out of the real
door of the main hull, followed by Deputy
Sheriff Bowman, arm In arm with Fath
er Kuppernagle, and by jurors, reporters'
and physicians.
THE GALLOWS.
jy
The gallows wtt^j,erected in the South
west corner of the jail yard, on the nar
row strip of ground lying between tin
prison and the western wail. Its uttel
.eciusion prevented any one from wit-,
nessimf the execution from any of the
surrounding buildings outside of the jai I
wail. It was a fit place for such a sol
emn scene—the ground was sbiouded in
snow, and the sombre- walls frowned
ironi above and .around. There was it
Hollow echo within the walls, which
sounded like the echo of seine vast tomb.
The scaffold was built of substantial tim
her, tbe platform or “drop" being ton
feet square, and about ten feet from the
around. It was ,formed of two doors
bung from the outside framework, and
meeting In the centre, after the mannei
of folding-doors laid ■horizontally. These
doors were sustained in position by a proj
under the centre, Which being removed,
the doors fall downward and outward.
The top beam, to which the noose was
iltached, stood about seventeen feet from
tbe ground. 1
THE SCENE, &C.
■ ■ The few spectators who had been -ad
■nitted seemed ill at ease. It was a new
business to most of them It is a solemn
diing lo wliness death in any of its as
pects—a solemn thing to stand :by tin
.death-bed of loved ones, even though w<
realize thatlit-the course of nature ’ the.\
could not-havo been , expected to, iiv*
longer, and even though we have th*
sweet assurance of a blessed hope—it is a
solemn thing to stand iu the fiery from
of battle, and s-e comrades falling' u this
side and that by scores, hut the interne
excitement of battle bears us lip,'and we
do not realize tbe horror of the scene un
til it Is past—but above and beyond all
these, it Is a fearfully solemn sight to sei
a human being, in the flush aud vigor of
healthy manhood, led out to execution,,
where all is calm and quirt, yet inexora
ble as the insulted majesty of the law..
What uitist haye been the agony’of that
me poor soul; as Adam Titus walked out
to meet death in that slowly-moving, si
lent procession I
Sheriff Thompson, Deputy Sheriff
Bowman, Father Kuppernagle and the
prisoner then ascended the scaffold.
SheriffThcrapson then stated that the
accused had requested Sheriff Bowman
to read hia farewell remarks. Tin
deputy stepped to the front of tho plat
form, and, In a clear find distinct voice,
read the foi owing. '

THE EXECUTION.
Titus then engaged in prayer and
kis-ed the crucifix, after which he turn
ed to Father Kuppenmgle and bid him
farewell; then he bid good bye to
Deputy Sheriff Bowman and to Sheriff
Thompson, and turning to the specta
ors said “Deed bye, gentlemen.”—
The noose was then placed arounu his
neck, audjual before the"cap was placed
ver ids lace he again said “Good bye,
gentlemen.” The sheriff left the plat
tunu, walked tothe front, pulled the
fatai rope, there was a dull ‘.‘thud,’’
uud Adam Titus was launched into
eternity. His death must have proved
instantaneous, as there was no strug
gling, and.blit a slight'contraction of
.the limbs. The drop fell at twenty
minutes before 2 o’clock. '
i.A,fjter hanging for lhirty minutes, the
body was taken down, and examined
by Drs. Zelgler, hiiort. Cowdry.’.Lau
roan, 0. P. Zitzer, and Cook, and Adam
Titus was pronounced dead,' The neck
was dislocated. The body was then
placed in the eollin, and will bo given
to his friends for burial.
The arrangements were admirably
planned, and well carried out by Sher
iff Thompson’nnd his deputies. Officers
were stationed in front of the jail to
keep back the curious crowd which
filled the street. None were admitted
who had not previously secured permits-
There wak a seriousness and solemnity
on the laces of those present, and a pro*
priety of conduct very different from
the unseemly exhibitions which are so
frequently observable at capital execu
tions.

place these lands at the door of a good

Alary Hall, in another column. Dr
Hall is a Homeopathic physician, and
L)rs. Mary Hall is an Electrician. They
have undoubtedly met with great suc

siuco their residence in our midst, as a
number of certificates from our own
citizens and others abundantly testify.
We are pleased to note their rapidly
increasing patronage, which in itself is
evidence of merit in themselves, as well
as a due appreciation of their science by
the suffering public.

TUB NIGHT DfcFOBE CUHISTHA9,
AY CLXMfcMT 0. MOOR*.
’Twaa Uio night boforo Christina*, when all thro*
the house ,
Not a orcatare was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hang by the chimney with
care,
Cn hopes that St, Nichols* soon would bo there;
The children were nestled ail snog in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced In their
heads;
And mamma In her ’kerchief, and I In my cap,
Had Just settled our brains for a long winter’s
nap—
When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter
I sprang from by bed to sed what was the mat
ter;
Away to the window I flow like'a flash,
Tore open the shutters and throw up the sash,
The moon, on the breast of thenew-fallen show,
Gave a luster of mid-duy to objects below; t
When, what to my wondoflng eyes should op
' pear
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
. With a Utile old driver, so lively and quick, —-
I knew in & moment it must bo St, Nick,'
•More rapid than eagle* his cohrsera they came,
Aud lie whistled, and shouted* and called them
by name;
Now,Dasher! now,Dancer! now,Pnmcerand
Vixen!
On! Comet, on 1 Cupid, on I Dundor, on 1 Blitxonl
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wail.
Now, dash awajfdasn away, dash away all I"
As dry leaves that before thewdd hurricane fly,
they meet with an obstacle, mount to tljp
So, up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With a sleigh lull of toys—and St. Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkling 1 heard on the roof,
Tne prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a
bound,
lie wan dressed nil In fur from his head to his
foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
and soot,
A bundle of toys he bad flung on his back.
And Uo looked like a pedlar Just 'opening bis
' pack;
Hlh eyes how they twinkled ( bis dimples how
, merry! -
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cher
rvf *' - *
His droll little month was drawn np like a bow.
And the beard on his chin was as white os the
snow; ... *
The stump of a pipe he held tight In hla teeth,
And. the smoke, it encircled his bead like d
wreath. ’
Ho had a broad face, and a little round belly.
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl-full ol
Jolly.
He was chubby and plump—a right jolly old elf;
And I laughed when I saw him In spite of my
self, ~ '
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his bead,
Soon gave mo taknow I had nothing to dread,
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all th e stockings; then turned with a
Jerk,
Ana laying his fingerastde of bis nose,
Ho sprang to bis sleigh/to his teamgavo a whls>.
tie,
And away they all flew, like the down of a this
tle;
Hut I heard him exclaim, ere ho. drove out of
sight,
“ Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Course of Lectu es.— Owing to some
misunderstanding iu regard to dates, the
course of Lectures bus been somewha
modified. Tbe first lecture will be de
livered by Paul DuCbaillu, tbe celebra
ted African explorer, on -aouaryl-Uh ;
the second by Rev. Dr. T. DeWUt Tal-.
mage, on January 27 and tbe third b>
Miss Olive Logan, on March 18tb. .TSu
gugemeuts have been positively mad.
with the parties, and the dates definitely
fixed, so tbit no further disappointment
need be apprehended, it.ls to be regret
ted that Miss Logan will net bo here, as
first announced, on the 31st Inst., but
her agent bad made a previous engage
ment. for her on that night, and the on
ly other night, during the season, on
which she has no appointment, is March
18; so the committee, were forced to do the
• eat they could under the circumstances;
Other lectures may be announced Id due
time, bht those referret} to may be con
sidered as certain.
Holiday Presents.— ln passing by
Haverstick’s, the other day, our atten
tion was attracted by the handsome and
varied display of holiday presents in
their windows. On entering the'store,
we found the counters literally loaded
down with articles suitable for the sea
son. They have everything, Irom the
handsomest writing desk, down to
children's picture puzzles, Their stock
of handsome Christmas presents is de
cidedly one of the most extensive ever
exhibited in this town, and all who in
tend doing the handsome thing, would
do well to give Haversticks a call.
The Bush at Neff’s.— Jim Neff’s
store, West Main Street, is crowded
with people, looking al ius splendid as
sortment 01 Christmas goods. He has
everything Imaginable in the fancy
article line—pictures, inkstands, match
safes, card cases, toys for big folks, and
toys for little folks—and then he.keeps
about the beat cigars sold outside of
Jlavanna, which is a strong attraction
to a great many people. His stock of
articles in the line of gentlemens fur
nishing goods, is not excelled in town,
and “deems” seems to take a peculiar
delight in showing his goods, whether
you want to buy or not. Give him a
call. „
Poems.— We acknowledge the receipt
of a handsome volume of p-'fcms, in blue
mid gold, from the pen of Prof. Jno, K.
dlayman, of Dickinson College, entitled
“ Flowersand Fossils.” In consequence
of the crowded state pi our columns, and
other matters which have claimed our
exclusive attention, we are compelled
to defer a more extended notice, such
as the book deserves, until some'future
date.
