Tha crima for which llenty Fife and Char
lotte Join's tinid t lia dvntb penulty to-d.iy, taps
one of the most atrccioss ever committed in
this county. Ueorge Wlison ono of the
parties murdered, was an old mnn whose hair
bad boon ailver with age, and who eked out a
lived by making coal boat pins for each as re
quired them in the neighborhood, Hiaiiater
the other victim, was but a few years l.ia ju
nior, and both occupied tha fame hone a
Log cabin situ-ttcd in tbo vicinity of McKees
port, and distant from the city some fourteen
miles. On the night of the thirteenth of
April, lost, Fire mid Charlotte visited their
lumble abode, and with a view of obtaining
fosseesion of a mm of money which thp latter
new the old man had laid aside, butchered
lliem in the most shocking manner.
THE SCENE ON tnn SCAFFOLD.
The scene on the scaffold was painful be
yond comprehension and drew tearcfrom many
of tho spectators. Cliarlotlo end Fife were
attended, the first by the Kev. J. (i. Brown,
oud the Utter by the He vs. Mr. Veil, and Air.
Williamson. They had religous services in
tha cull till within a few minutes before their
removal to the scaffold. Shortly bel'oro two
o'clock they left their cell, and linking arms,
a procession titts formed, which entered the
Jail yard. . .
nrs's crixa ceclabatioh.
Daring my coufinement I liuva suffered
nioro in mind a thousand times for the crime
I have com mi' ted than tho fear of this death
that is so rapidly approaching. Here is the
fatal rope, the scofl'old, and the hand that is
to send my fool into eternity ; but 1 do pot
fear ; 1 have made my peace with all the woild
and 1 trust in Hod. And now before these
witnesses, and in the presence of Almighty
God, before whom iu a moment of time i ex-
red to appear, and with tha last breath that
am permitted to breathe on earth, n ith a full
knowledge of my awful situation and my ac
countability I solemnly protest and declare
tu it Monroe Stewart is innocent of tho mur
der of Wilson and his sister. Tho deed was
planned and perpetrated by himsclfnnd Char
lotto Jones, without, any other human being to
aid or assist us. For our crimo he has suf
fered a long imprisonment, but I pray Uod
that the last words of a dying man, with no
hepo or motive to declare anything but tho
truth, while the just punishment of uod would
bo visited by falsehood, will bo taken and re
store him to that liberty or which he has been
bo long deprived. In whatever was honest
lie was my friend, but no partner of mine in
crime. He has suffered much for my crime
and I leg his forgiveners. Monroe Stew
art is innocent. May God have mercy on my
soul. Henry Fife.
Charlotte Jones also made a dying state
ment, espresing her penitence for her crimes
and corroborating Fife's statements in every
particular. She also protests the innocense
of Monroo Stewart, and says her charges
against him were induced by hatred of him
Inspired by tbj fear that he was striving to
get Fife to leave her.l
Immediately after Mr. Williamson censed
reading?, tho Rev. Mr. Bell read a chapter
from the Siblo and offered op a prayer, in
which tho prisoners joined. Fife, during this
trying sccno maintained the most astonishing
composure, and when thn time came, actually
Adjusted tho rcpo around bis neck and stamped
on the platform, as if to say he was prepared
to moot his fate Charlotte, on tho other
hand seemed utterly broken down and bewil
dered. She erred bitterly and every now and
then altered incoherent sentences now sta
ting that she desired eo die, and agaiu declar
ed that sha was afraid of death and wished
to live. Fife, seeing her agony of soul and
utter prostration, put his arm nround her and
cnd3avored to coiisofw and cheer ber. Such
was the etato cf mind of both, and such thoir
condition, wlieu it was announced that their
hour had arrived, and that they must now
prepare for execution.
THIE EIEC0TIOK.
Everything was now ready for the complo
tion of the final act of the bloody tragedy, in
which the convicts had played such a terrible
part. The rapes had been adjusted around
tho necks of tho victims, and but a few mo
ments wero to elapse ere their souls would be
ushered into tfremitv. Still Fife's coolness
forsook him not. He railed such of them
around him as he knew on the sraffold, and
shook them efl'ectiontttely by tho hands. Ho
then declared that, "with tho help of God. hu
would die like a mun," and with a firm voice,
in which tho slightest tremor was discernable
cxclaiinod: "Remember, 1 die game." He
then turned to his companion in enilt, who
at this time was scarcely conscious and nut
ting his arm around her, kissed her. Roth
then declared themselves ready to die, and
tho signal being ffiven, tha Sheriff touched
tho spring, and tl.0 soil's of t'ie guilty couple
were launched into eternity. Fife fell straight
down, and died without a struggle, but Char
lotte's death wus lues easy, and fully ten min
utes elapsed ero tho pulsatiuns of ber heart
ceasod. Fife's heart ceased to beat with
ia fivo minutes from tho time the drop fell.
Ecari.et Fever. Important Frescmp
tiom Dr. Liodsly, of Washington, strongly
recommends the modo of lrutineut of scarlet
fever, resorted to by Dr. bchneeman, pby6i.
cim to tho King of iUnover. It is as follows,
and exceedingly dimple :
" Treatment of Scarlet Ftvet hy Inunction.
From the first day of tha illness, and as
soon as wo are certain of its nature, the pa
tietit mutt be rubbed morulng and evening
over the -rliole body with a piece of bacon, in
such a maniier that, with tho exception of the
Load, a covering of fat is every wr.ero applied.
In order to make tbii rubbing in somewhat
easier, it is be?t ta take a piece of bacon tho
size of a hand, choosing part still armed
with tho rind, that wo muy have a linn grasp.
Oa the soft side of this piece slits are to bu
made, in crd--r to allow the oozing out of tho
fut. Tha rabbiogs must ba thoroeghly per
fjrr.od, and not too quickly, in order thai the
skin may he regularly saturated with the fat.
The beneficial results of tuo application era
soon cbvious ; with a rapidity bordering on
magic; all, even the most painful, symptoms of
the disease are allayed; quiet, sleep, good
humor, oppetite returns, and there remains
otly the impalienco to quit the sick-room,"

"To those of oar reader! who liva in this
Congressional District, the vote of Hon. Wm.
Ia Dewart, member or Congress representing
Northumberland and Srbovlkill counties, P-
on the Lecompton Constitution, will cause
no little tifrprise. His name, aa recorded in
llrn votoopon Harris' motion, appears strange
ly oat or place among vue opposition, u
gentleman may have reasons, satisfactory to
himself, for voting as he did, but we believe
that a majority of Lis constituents are averso
to a continuance of the Kansas agitation.
Wo bave no doubt, onr readeri will be
equally surprised with the editor of the Oa-
Kctte, ia finding the above singular announce
ment in his paper of last week. We do not
like to interfere in family matters, nor have
we tho least desire to hart the feelings of onr
neighbors of the Gazette, in dofending the
Major from their attacks. Had any obo pre-
dieted, a few months since, tbrHMste should
God it necessary to defend our quondam friend
tho Major, from the attacks of the Uazttto
and his professed Mends, at this early day,
we should have been laughed at for our folly.
But we are determined that tho Major shall
not bo thus pat down, for an act that meets
the approbation of the democracy and tho
entire people of Lis district, because a few
wire workers, having obtained their coo from
head quarters, have seen proper to change
their tactics as well as their opinioas, within
the last fow weeks.
We would have hardly supposed that after
General Calhoun, the President of the Le
compton Convention, and his friend-, acknow
ledged that the true returns which gave Kan
sas to the free State party, had been buried
under n wood pilo, while they were attcipt.
ing to palm upoa Congress, false returns that
gave up the State to the slavery party, wo
say, we would hardly have supposed, that af
ter confessing to these villainous frauds to
sustain the Lecompton Constitution, that the
Gazette would ask any honorablo freo stale
man in Congress, to vote for the Lecompton
swindle and slavery. -
We would say to tbo Major, let not a few
political wire workers, who know no princi
ples but party, and who bave no aspirations
but office, to divest him of what ia destined
to be the crowniug effort of his political life.
Already it is proclaimed that oar member
was sent to Congress to snstaiu tha adminis
tration, while his constituents vainly supposed
that he had been sent to represent the peo
ple of Northumberland and Schuylkill coun
ties. e confess we have some rears that
the Major may cot remain (inn, and nay be
driven from bis purpose. In that event wo
would commend to him tho ft llowing beauti

ill' resolution referring the President's mes
sage to a select committee appointed by bis
own friend, and constituted of bis own friends
seems almost incredible, unless it it bocotse
that committee is instructed to enquire into
tho frauds connected with the Lecompton

This notorious political parson has started

the "heathen of New England," and enlighten
them on the subject or slavery. On bis way
bo stopped at New Orleans, and gave them
a sample of what he intended for the edifica
tion of the Yankees :
The Crenent tells as that in giving a histo
ry of tbo church difficulties North and South
which have led to a complete sundering of all
relations between them, be remarked that he
was acquainted with many of bis own church
(Methodist) in tha North, but he hail no tort

no confidence whatever; his church had sepa
rated, tue aoutti trom the ISortb, but be
he hazarded nothinr? in asserting that the
Southern portion was doing more for the tem
poral and eternal weltare et too negro "than
all the freedom shriekert out of bell ;" the
"pious" Abolitionist would enter his church
on Sunday, "with a face as long as tha moral
law," descant upon and bewail the wrongs
and miseries heaped upon the down-trodden
sons of Africa, and on tho following day, in
his picayune grocey or candy store, would, if

"When I get to Heaven," continued the rtv

my death, if 1 find a regular built Abolitionist
there, 1 shall conclude that he has practiced
fraud on the door-keeper; for in my opinion
a Kansas agitator and freedoro-6hrieker has
no more business in our Father's Kingdom
than Commodore Pavji.dixq had iu Nicaragua

The Baltimore American says if the Parson

Constitution. There wss'o largo democratic
meeting at Williamsport on tho 6th inst., the
Court House being crowded. Tbe object was
to give expression to tbo feeling of the peo
ple on the Lecompton Constitution. Henry
Wuitk, Esq., presided and speeches were
made by Clinton Lloyd, Judge Eldred, Geo
White, II. C. Parsons and C. D. Emery. All
were the warm personal and political friends
of Governor Packer. Jadge Eldred offered
a series of resolutions, which were adapted
with great unanimity a conple of which we
copy as specimens :
JlesoUed, That the a Amission of Kansas at
a Btato, under tho so-called Lecompton Con
stitution, would be a violation of the princi
pies and pledget of the Democratic party ; io
direct coaliict with tbe Cincinnati platform,
tho Kansas Nebraska act, the inaugural ad
dress of tbe President, the promises made to
the people in 1656, and present public opinion
because it is notorious mat saiu Constitution
is not the work or the citizens of that Terri
tory, nor has it been sanctioned by a majority
ol them, but is a banning conceived in sin aud
brought forth in iniquity.
lltsnlred, That in our opinion, the admis
sion of Kansas under the Lecompton fraud
will uot localize, but nationalize tbo question
and be bucIi aa act of aggresion and wrong
as will justify resistance and produce a gtnsr

covery of tbe buried returns of the Surveyor-
uenerart ouice. i do box contained lue
whole of the returns of both elections
among them beiug the much-talked of Dela

Governor Denver and the two presidios offi
cers of the Legislature, who were present
Calhonn opened and counted tbe retarnt
originally, swore that those found in the box
were tbe tame passed, except the Delaware
Crossing return, which must have been in
Calhoun's possession secretly, and by him
afterwards, included in the count. Calbouu's
chief clerk io tho Surveyor-General's office,
McLean, had tworn, before the investigating
committee of tbe Legislature, that be hud
sent all the documents to Calhoun, at Wet
ton or I'latte city ; but it teemt that McLeau
had been watched for teveral dayt by secret
spies, who taw him and three other persons
bury the box containing the pipers, at nigbt,
and pile wood over tbe spot. This accounts
for tnn exact information possessed by tbe
Sheriff, who found tbe box. At tbe three

votet were cast there, and no more were re
turned by them ou the papert givea to Hen

ANALYSIS OF LYON'S CATAWBA
BRANDY BY
A. A. HAYES, M. D.,
Assayr to the Statt of MassacJtusitts.
Gbxxval Ca a a acts a. A light yellowish
brown-colored spirit, having a fragrant edoi
when evaporated from clean linen it left no oil or
offensive matter. Analyzed for volatile and fix
ed drugs, of which no traces of any kind were
found. Its color ia proved to be due te a colored
resin an extract derived from wood.
In every respect it is a pure spirituous liquor.
The fragrance or bouquet which it possesses
can be isclated, and it then appears unlike that
from Cognac Brandy or Wine, being a fruity es
sence resulting from a peculiar fermentation ol
Catawba and Isabella Grapes.
C'uimicil Character. 1,000 parts in vol
ume of this spurt contains at 60 deg. r. 461 2
10 parte of pure uleohol, besides the fragrant oil
1,030 parts or tbe epint allonl 3 J parts oi a strong
solution of the oil which characterizes this Bran
dy ; the spirit 'eft, after removing the oil, ia pure
and odorless, and in all its qualities a perlect spi
rit not subject to charge. One U. s. gallon of
this Brandy at 60 deg. F. contains, beside the
spirit and oil, only 220 gra. of matter composed
or extract ol Iruit, gum, and colored retn irom
wood.
