of Mrs. Catharine sUdttanacher, tu execti
uJ yesterday, at tea minutes before two
'cloak, la ihe yert of ths ouMjr jail The
murder w perpetrated early on the rooming
of March lid, 184S, and for ookl blood
barbarity atanda onparalslled ia lb orlmloal
reoords of PWMylvaoia. . A young) , lovely
and ' bteofbirtf wife, of on of oar moat re
.spectable citixsos, waa atraek -down by lha
ruthles band of aa assassio, and tbia, too, in
the heart of the city, causing the most intense
excitement to prevail But the murderer did
net escape long, i The police and a number
of our citizena were, on the qui vivt, tad on
the afternoon of the next day Langfeldt was
arrested, and waa fully committed by the
Mayor on the following Monday afternoon.
Of the evidence it is unnecessary now to
apeak. Our readers are doubtless familliar
with its general tenor. The prisoner having
been tried and convicted, his death warrant
waa signed by the late Governor of this
. State, on the IStb of June, and was duly
communioated to the doomed man by Sheriff
Lelar. He seemed to regard the death war
rant as a mere joke, and his. actions, under
the circumstances, astounded every one who
was present the reading. Since that time up
te the latest moments of his existence, he
preserved the same stolid indifference as to
hi fate, aud protested that he uevor perpe
trated the murder. He was geneially speak
ing quite cheerful, and with those who. visi
ted him in his cell, he would enter into fa
milliar conversation'. say the least, he
was an extraordinary man, and instead of pre
paring himself for the awful doom which
awaited him, by making his peace with his
Maker, he seemed to be swayed by the crudo
notions of superstition and German transceii
dentnlism, and served himself for his fate,
with a reckleness, which some may have al
' ready construed into firmness. This appear
ed to be his frame of mind, np to the time of
his exit from this to another world. This ex
ecution was looked opon as a thing certain;
and as the day drew near, the Sheriff waa
beset on every hand, and at almost every
hoar, for tickets of admission. The law,
however, being such, many of the applicant
were disappointed, yet enough were present
at the scene.
We arrived at the prison at a few minutes
after ten o'clock, and found quite a concourse
of people, a number of whom were females,
standing in front of its frowning walls. In a
moment or two, the creaking of the hinges
of the heavy gates announced the opening of
the same, and the jury of twelve men, and
the reporters of the press, were soon inside.
A rash made by the spectators to get in, but
they might ks well have attempted to butt
their way through the atone walls.
At the time of our arrival, Charles Lang
fetdt was in communion with two Catholic
priests, but hi refused to make, what baa
been termed a confession, to them, or any
other man or men. It appears that the Cath
olic clergymen wished him to communicate
with them alone, and that if he was guilty of
the murder to confess it to them, aud they
would give him " extreme unction." He re
fused to comply with their request, and they
retired from the coll. The priests had been
with him for several hours, and just aa they
.were about to leave, the Rev. Mr. Champers
entered. He waa also visited by the Rev.
Mr. Fleischman, who seemed to be regarded
aa somewhat of a favorite, and also by the
Rev. Mr. Coleman and others of the clerical
profession. A number of incidents took
place in the cell during the morning, mostly
uninteresting to the general reader. We will
recite one, however. The Rev. Mr. Cham
ber asked Langfeldt why he refused to pray.
He replied, God knew his heart. Would you
refuse to ask the Governor to pardon you 1
rejoined Mr- Chambers. Oh, no," replied
Langfeldt, with a alight shrug of his shoul
ders, a smile playing on his face at the same
time. Then why do you refuse to ask God
to pardon you. "Oh," said Langfeldt, me
pray with yoa in general, me pray with you."
' The little congregation then knelt in that cell)
and a fervent prayer waa offered to the
Throne of Grace. Langfeldt requested not
to be hang until half past one o'clock. His
request waa of course complied with. A
twenty five minute before two o'clock, the
Sheriff and his deputy, with several members
of the press, entered his celland the arms
of the criminal were then tied above the el
bows. He offered no resistance. He waa
then led from hie place of confinement to the
gallows, (n the western end of the yard. He
waa dressed tu citizens' drear, and wore a
glazed leather cap. . Hia face during the
moruining . wa considerably flushed, but
when be appeared on the corridor of the
prison, he waa ghastly pale. The same wild
and piercing look came from his small gray
eye, and he endeavored aa muoh aa possible
to appear obstinately indifferently aa to the
result whit'b would take place in a few mo
menta. He waa attended from the cell to
the gallows by the Sheriff, jury, clergy, in
pactum, a id about fifty other parsons.
' He asoendod the scaffold without help, and
waa followed by the Sheriff, the Mr. FJoisch.
man and Mr. Neill, aa inspector of the prison.
Langfeldt looked aronnd on the assemblage,
and spoke in a low tone to Mr. Fleishman,
and the latter gentleman stated that bo had
been requested to interpret a speech, which
the eoiulemed one waa about to make in the
German language. The following sheeeh
ww made. It will be eaan that the Drieoner
i nor positively assert hia innocence, bo
it opon a contingency. His allusion to
person "lying en her bed," as being an in.
competent witness, is a strange fallacy in
deed. , , Here I stand on too point of leaving this

things without witnesses, and can judge

(rive the j edges, toe jury, and the witnesses-
God "will judge." A paoss a about a mi
nute ensued. Mr. fleisohman! then stated
that the eu'prit had written n statement,
which, at bis request, will be published in
the German paper of this city. The Sheriff
then drew a, dark colored capover over Lang,
feldt's head, and placed the rope around hie
neek. He shook bands with the minister snd
the Sheriff, and bidding them good by, stood
alone on the scaffold, On ths brink of eter
nity.
The two outside props were noiselessly re
moved, and the next moment the mainstay
waa pullled away, and Langfeldt fell. A
shudder ran over the multitude $ and just as
quickly many were impressed with the be
lief that the rope had broken, and there waa
rush made towards the scaffold. The
rope, however, did not break, but performed
its duty as well as could be wished. .The
fall was as at least three feet, and the crimi
nal swung clear of the ground. Thua ends
the earthly career of as cold blooded a mur
derer as ever cursed the city of Philadephia
with his presence. The gallows used on thia
occasion was the one on which Charles M os
ier expiated the orime of murder, and it was
erected on the same spot.
During the morning, a number of boys, by
means of a ladder, ascended to the topof the
wall which encloses the prison yard. The
officers being in the east end of the prison
at the time, the climbers were not interrup
ted until nearly a hundred were strung along
the wall, like so many so many black bird
The intelligence was communicated to the
Sheriff, and he summoned his posse, who
proceeded at once to drive them from their
position. The wall ia about twenty feet hijrh,
and from its top to the ground was a fearful
leap. The ladder by which the curious and
anxious persons had ascended had been re
moved, and another was obtained and placed
against the wall inside, and the party was
told to come down. Some of them accepted
the invitation, but other's were afraid, and
some of thorn even leaped from their emi
nence outside, and were injured in conse
quence. The following is an official statement of an
investigation made on the deceased
Philadelphia, Oct. 20 h, 1348.
In the presence of the Sheriff and the offi
cers of the County Prison, 1 examined the
neck of Charles LangMdt after he waa exe
cuted, and am satisfied dislocation of the se
cond vertebra took place, thowing the denta
ted portion of that bone forward, thereby
producing pressure on the spinal marrow, and
that death was instananeous, and the contor
tions of the body were nothing more than
muscular contraction.
Signed Washington J. Dvrrr.c, M D.
The following is a literal translation of the
statement alluded to by the Rev. Mr. Fleisch
man at tho conclusion of the speech of Lang
feldt. It is a curious document. It is a mess
of words so strangely put together, that one
cannot exactly comprehend the meaning of
them.
" Dcatii. Which itfeared ia the sole rest.
Nothing would be a misfortune if though
wouldst take the faithful with his friend.
The faithful Charles Langfeldt has soon ac
complished his pilgramage. Tbia forsaken
and the greatest words are not lobe regretted.
He that sees his end has fallen into the first
steps to be happy. Ha is contented within
himself. But the faithful friends live in the
land who keep their life for to suffer. They
are those for whom one should weep, who
deserve tears Unnecessary foreigner! un
happy traveller! like myself under a great
raw. Liuothanes who returns to what he
loves. He believed he was in the midst of
savages. He speaks and is not heard. They
speak to him and soon he can answer n
more. These two languages are unknown to
his heart. I amagine very well that it ia
one'a duty to sleep for evermore,
Inaccessible aux memo tout eelle de la
vertue.) Inaccessible for all is virtue. It is
here where 1 stop my pace. It is here where
I burn my ashes. 1 feel yet a desire without
ceasing. My eyes were fixed upon Phiia
delphia to have there my grave, and may lh
grave remove without ceasing.

THE PEPtN TOWNSHIP COVJtTERrtlT
BANK NOTES.
We cautioned our readers last week
against the counterfeit S5 notes on this
Bank, and gave a description of them from
Bicknell's Reporter. A number of them
have beeu put into circulation in this neigh
borhood. One of them was handed to us a
few days since for inspection. The best
way of detecting them is by observing on
the right end of the bills the words snd
figures, "Five dollars 5 Five dollars"
inserted in two lines. These lines are very
small and are on the outer edges of the en
graving on the right end. In the genuine
notes, one line commences at the top and the
other at the bottom. In the counterfeit
they both run one way commencing at the
top. A good judge of engravinp might d
tect them by the engraving of the word
FIVE on the left of the iTnette. The
F and I are both somewhat out of perpen
dicular, leaning forwards.
THE COtolKO ELECTION.
The defeat of our democratic candidate
for Governor, has wakened up many of our
voters' who remained at home, during th
late election. They feel, in many instan
ces, sorely mortified that our candidate has
been beaten, and that too by so small a ma
jority, that s'most any one county in the
state could have changed the result. In
this county the democratic vote will, no
doubt, be considerably larger than at tbe
lost election.
At the Presidential election in 1S14, Mr.
Polk's vote was 2U6, Mr. Clays 1547, to
tal 3993. At the late election, Longstretb's
vote was 2121, Johnston's 154.6'. Decrease
in ths democratic vote 322, while the de.
crease in the whig vote is but I Upper
Mahonoy, which con poll 230 votes, polled
only 175 at the last election. There are
only 8 or 10 whig votes in the township.
Lower Augusta can also do better.
By JktronTAVT mow Euaorc By th
arrival of the Europe, we learn that Smith

Too Secretary 'of the State, Mr. Buchanan,
addressed tho assembled Dmioeracy, las'
night, inn speech which oecnpied la fan
hour In Its delivery, principally upon th
Pennsylvania election, and evidently intsnd
ed for circulation in that State.
He came out against General Taylor, as
being a purely military man. He said that
the free soil question was merely a transient
one, and would dio away as soon as Califor
nia and New Mexico were admitted into the
Union as States', meanwhile slavery could
not exist there, edeept by legislative enact'
ment. He did not believe the Democracy of
Pennsylvania would find there principles used
for an issue which waa devoid of ubstanee.
He was favorable either to the Missouri com
promise or the bill passed by the Sena'.e,
leaving the question to the Supreme Court.
MlN's INHCMAKITT AltO IlOMANtTT. A
grasping and overreaching man of New York
in undertaking to collect debt of some forty
dollars of a poor woman, are! out an execu
tion against her, and the sheriff, in the di
chsitre of his painful duty, seized on her lit
tle shop, consisting of few caps and olh'r
small articles, which were advertised accord
ing to law, and sold to the hichest bidder for
about five dollars, in the presence of the
plaintiff. It was stated, at the sale, that the
woman, besides being poor, was sick of con.
sumption. This roused the humane sensi
bilities of the purchasers, and they set the
seller an example in sympathy and kindness
towards an industrious female, by sending
her triiik's back to her, with lhir pond
wishes, the sheriff also forwarding his fees.
The plaintiff pocketed th remainder of ih
money. He may have a full purse, but what
an empty soul.
