Tom Thumb's chariot and ponies, having shortly
before this been at the railroad depot. No per
rons were seen either to enter or to leave his
premises, and the whole affair U
shrouded In mystery. His wife and
a servant girl were In anothor part of the house
when, hearing a noise as of the slamming of a
door they went to ascertain the cause, and found
him it log on his face on the floor. It was sup
posed that ho bad fallen In an attack of apoplexy,
as he had fell some indications x>f this disease a
tew days previously. Tho servant girl ran in
haste to tne First National .Bank for his son,
Major George McConnell; the Cashier of that in
stitution, and informed him that his father had
fallen again, as he did a couple of weeks
ago. The Major; hastening to hla father,

posse sofi Without n Disturbance.
-Ottawa, Feb. 11.— James Whalen, the'alleged
murderer of tbe Hon. Thomas D’Arcy McGee.
Minister of Agrionltmefor the new Government .
of Canada, was executed upon the gallows this
mornlng’at a few mlnuteß past 11 o’clock, in tbe
'town of Ottawa, Canada. The prisoner had, np
to a few doyß ago, conducted himself with great
unconcern, ana even indulged in ribaldry and
obscene jesting in view of his end. It was
thought .he indulged hopes, almost to
the verv last. . that he would not be hung.
Early in the morning people began to as
semble outside tbe jail, in Stewart street, eager
to witness tbe revolting scene, manifesting that
morbid cariosity which many, both men and
women, always exhibit on snch occasions. By .
10 o'clock tbe streets were crowded with a hetero-
Senbus mob, and many persons had perched |
lemselves on the tops of the houses o in the
vicinity for .the purpose of obtaining a° better
view. The morning Was dull and cloudy, with a ,
drifting show from tbe east. At 10% o'clock it
was estimated there were at least 7,000
-pereons in the vicinity. Disturbance, and
an attempt at rescue bad been feared,
and precautions taken to prevent it. Every
thing passed off quietly. Inside the jail a select
compohy had been admitted, Including Sheriff
Powell,'Jail Governor Powell, Sheriff Temple, of
Fredeilcktown, New Brunswick; Drs. Bell, Van
Courtlandt, Conover, BweeUand, Mr. Frazer, and
others. The Sheriff wore his nnlform and sword.
The guard. Inßlde and out, consisted of regular
soldiers. The arrangements for quelling any at
tempt at rescue were very complete. Various
surmises were freely circulated In the crowd as
to bow Whalen would deport himself in the
emergency. Some sold he had fully made
up his mind to confess, while others
were eure he would Implicate Borne other
party, and furnish the public with another feast
of horrors. It was earnestly hoped by the more
thoughtful and considerate that at least some
light would be thrown upon the mystery, and
/that he would tell who had fired the fatal shot, If
/ he did not. At twenty minatos before 11 o’clock
/ the favored few were admitted to tbe.landlng
/ place opening on the ecaffold. At this moment
7 not on Inch of space within view of the scaffold
was unoccupied. The suspense was intense.
At a few minutes after 11 o'clock the
door of the corridor opened, and the solemu
voice of Father O’Connor was heard In earnest
prayer for Ibo doomed man. The prisoner as
cended the steps to Iho scaffold in company with
the officials and three Catholic priests. Whalen
walked firmly and erect, nod seemed but little
moved. He was dressed In a suit of black, with
boots, carefully blacked, and his whole toilet
made vtlth the utmost care. He wore a green
silk necktie. As be walked np, he was repeating
In unison with his. confessor and spiritual
adviser, “ Lord have mercy on us.” A
death-like stillness reigned throughout the great
multitude as Whalen stepped upon the drop, and
remained firm and upright, almost rigid, while
the fatal doobo was adjusted. The executioner
stood at bis loft eido, clad in a bluo calico jacket
and pants, and a red and white stripod cap, his
face masked with black crape. When the rope
woa adjusted, Whalen was asked by the Sheriff If
he had anything to say, when be mudo the fol
lowing remarks:
“I beg pardon for any offence I may have com
niitted, I forgive all parties who hove Injured
me, anal ask forgiveness ofull whom I may
have Injured. God save Ireland,and God save my
soul!"
WM then K'ven, and the drop fell at
. 11.16 A. M., precisely. The wife of Whalou visited
lum yesterday, and was with him up to the time
of his execution. Bbe seemed to havo suffered
greatly, and was very bitter toward the autborl

Love and Laecent Shakespeare declares
that "the course of true love never did run
smooth,’’ which has been exemplified in an in
stance which recently came to light in Camden.
It appears thatduring the rebellion a nice young
man, named Kelley, heroically disposed, residing
in Salem, enlisted in the Third New Jersey Cav
alry, and was stationed at Frederick City. While
there he became acquainted with a fine youDg
lady, Union, of conrse. to whom he paid unre
miltent attention. At last he declared his tender
passion for her, and rumor sayß she
reciprocated most admirably. But time
rolled on, and the lovers had to
park The war ended, and Kelley returned to
Salem. Distance, nor time, nor the scenes oi
bloody carnage dampened his ardent attachment.
Foolscap nor tinselled note-paper covered with
burning words failed to convey to her the warm
gnshingi of his enraptured soul. He pined to
see her, but the distance was great, and tbe un
feeling railroad companies conld not see that
be was entitled to a "pass.” But, "love laughs
at locksmiths,” ana Invents many singu
lar devices. It suggested a novel way to our
hero to perform the journey to his heart’s Mecca,
in no.-less a plan than to "borrow” a horse ami
wagon unbeknown to the owner, and travel the
entire distance. If he was never found out In the
oDcration, so mnch the better. So, one morn
ing, a few days ago, Mr. Kelley and a fine equip
ment were missing. Several days passed, and
neither the hero nor the equipage was found. All
the time he was making lor Frederick City, and
expected every moment to meet
his idol. At length he reached
hie destination, and at the same time the tele
graph lodged Information with the authorities at
Salem of hie whereabouts-, Immediately there
upon a constable started in pursuit, and found
Mr. Kelley enjoying his otium cum dignitalc, with
bis lady-love, and took him into custody. He
was brought to Camden and lodged in jaU, and
yesterday morning was taken back to Salem,
where the law will reward him for his enterprise
ami skill.

was made to bnrn tbe residence of Enoch Cham

It was, however, fortunatelv discovered in time
to extinguish It before the building was'destroyed.
Damage about $1,600.

The Secretary of the Navy, to-day eont to the-
House, incompliance with resolutions, volumin
ous correspondence relative to affairs lb Para
guay. It appeara that on the 4th of December
last Admiral Davis addressed, to President Lopez
aietter, In which he eaya : “I,t does not belong
tome to define or oven to consider the status ot
Biks and Masterman; bat on this subject your
Excellency will, I do not doubt; repose confidence
in the justice and friendship of the
United Slates,., which -has afforded
your Excellency many recent proofs of ita respect
and sympathy.'’ Mr. .that those
persons were criminals, .deeply committed in the
affair of a horrible conspiracy, very particularly
Mr. Bliss. Ho said he would, cheerfully consent
to the delivery of the criminals, provided it were
requested in a manner more In conformity with
the fact of their being accomplices of ox-Minister
Washburn, and the first intimately acquainted
with his intrigues in the character of conspirator
and agent of the enemy, of which he la accused
In tho national tribunals. To this Admiral
Davis responded that It Was no part of
his official duty either to offer or refuso any
terms which would affect the legal criminal con
dition of those two persons. Again referring to
the friendship of the United Stales towards Para
guay, he asked that Biles and Masterman be em
barked on board his vessel, subject to the dispo
sition of the Government of the United States, of
whose justice and friendly sentiments President
Lopez could enterlaln no doubt. President Lopez
acceded to of Admiral Davis, saying,
however, .it could not be complied with In the
- sense of a reclnmatlon.bntQfftgracefal courtosy
■on the part of tho government of , Paraguay
; toward the United States.
A mysterious affair has created a sensation in
the Faubourg flt. Germain; Paris. A son of the
Compte de Monstler, nearly connected with the
Ex-Minlstef, aged 17, attending the course of
preparatory lectures for St Cyr, quitted his p»-
ron taphouse bn Sunday week, having previously
asked for sixty francs to distribute among some
poor relations be ■ was in the ■ habit of visiting.
He neither returned .homo nor appeared In
his accustomed place at the lecture. On
Jan. 22 he Was picked up on tho sea
coast near the Hague, In a state of
asphyxia, gagged, dripping wet; and wounded in
the shoulder. In hla pocket-book were found
twenty francs,and most fortunately hla name and
address. The French Legation at the Hague was
Instantly apprised of the fact. The Secretary t*
the Minister telegraphed to Compte de Monstler,
who instantly started, and found his son partly
paralyzed, and only able tospeak after two days
of medical treatment. He hod been brought to
Paris, but he could give no account of what
happened to him.
