EXECtTION OF MRtffWIGGg,
At Danville, on Friday, October 22d,' 1858.
This wretched being was executed be
tween lOAnd 11 o'clock this morning, in
the jail yard, at this place, without making
any confession of her crime, and protesting
her innocence up to the last moment.
Early in the morning, our streets began
to present quite a lively appearance, indi
cating that something unusual was aboui to
take place. Many people were seen wen
ding their way to the jail, and numbers of
both sexes were admitted to see the gallows,
which was the same that had been used for
the execution of Clark, four weeks ago.
For two nights, several kind hearted and
sympathizing ladies remained with the un
fortunate woman in her lonely cell, comfort
iug her bodily and spiritually in the la>t
Ihours of her earthly trials. Mrs. Ware,
Mrs Unger and Mrs. Ephlin spent the last
night with her, and from them we learn,
that she slept from between 11 and 12
o'clock, up to 3 this morning, apparently
calmly and without showing any signs of
restlessness. In the early part of the even
ing, she rose from her bed and vdlunlarily
•knelt down to engage in silent prayer,
with apparent fervor and true sincerity—
calling audibly at limes upon Jesus to save
her immortal soul ; and when Mrs. Waro
engaged in loud prayer, sho joined with
earnestness in her petitions to the throne of
God. '
Her (wo children—one a little hoy, about
7 yenrs old, the other a girl of about 10
years, —were resting in her arms during lite
whole night The sight was affecting in
the extreme, as she pressed her little ones
to her palpitating heart, kissing them loving
ly and earres-ing them tenderly. Copious
tears flowed from her eyes, and her feelings
can be more easily imagined than described.
Her daughter particularly seemed much af
fected, yet, w hen her mother, at times, sob
bed and cried aloud, the little girl braced
herself up and begged, in lender accents, to
be composed and not to cry so much On
arising in the morning, Mrs.Twiggs dressed
the children carefully and fondled them with
great emotion. And when shortly after
wards, Mrs. Young, tlio Sheriff's lady, en
tered her ce'l, with a new and neat black
dress, that had been made expressly for the
occasion, she patiently suffered herself to
be dressed with apparent composure.
During the night, Mrs. Ephlin questioned
her atone lime pointedly as to her innocence
or guilt of the crime for which she was so
toon to suffer upon the scaffold, when she
iaiiswered, in rather a stern and sharp tone
of voice, that site was innocent, quoting, at
the same time, tho words of the gospel,
"judge no', lest ye be judged."
At about 9 o'clock, her only brother, Sam
uel McClintock, visited her for the last time.
iS te sat upon her bed, when he entered,
uul both fell into each others arms, crying
and sobbing loud and long. The sight was
touching in the extreme, and brought the
sympathetic tear to the eyes of tho stoutest.
At lirst, none of them spoke, but occasion
ally the words ot "dear, dear sister"—"dear,
dear brother"—were heard Irom their lips.
After a minute or two, Mrs. Twiggs, uttered
in broken sentences —"I know, dear broth
er, it is hard to part—my love rhall remain
with you iu tho other world—it is hard to
part, we have been raised together and al
ways loved each other—My Saviour died
for us—Don't fret about me, dear brother—
lam happy—l am going to suffer death for
others, to did my Saviour—go and love Je
sus—Don't believe that I have ever done
such a thing—l am innocent—God knows
it—He is the judge of all things and knows
all things—there will be no injustice in
Heaven—there will bo all lovo and joy—we
all must die—l might have died some other
way and then yon would have lost me—
now 1 am prepared—don't mourn, don't fret
dear brother—l hope God will watch over
you, and defend you—don't grieve—l am
well, well prepared for Heaven."
After thus unburdening her heart to her
brother, both engaged more calmly in pri
vate talk about her two children, he prom
ising her to take care of them, and when ho
-cried out loud again, she tried to coinlort
liim by again saying, "dear brother, you
■must not grieve so much—man does not
see as Jesus sees—if He was only'hero now
to tell, he would tell you that 1 am innocent
—don't grieve so much about me."
During all this lime they were sitting on
Iter bed, tightly locked into each others
arms, and resting their heads upon each
others shoulders. It was a most affecting
and heart rendering sight to behold, such as
we hope wo shall never have occasion to see
.again.
The Rev. A. F. Shanafclt, Baptist minister
of White Hall, in this county, then reud the
-51 st Psalm, whereupon tho Rev. M. J. Sto
ver, who had been her principal spiritual
adviser during her imprisonment, engaged
in prayer, in which all participated. The
prayer being finished, the Rev. Mr. Stover
■engaged with her in some protracted private
exhortation, after which a hymn of her own
selection,
"Oh that 1 had some humble place
Where I might hide from sorrow,"
was read and sang, and the 23d psalm read
at her request, by Rev. Mr Sbanafelt.
The Rev. Mr. Bacon, of the Methodist
church, also-made a very fervent prayer in
the cell, after which the Rev. Mr. Harden
gave out the hymn:
"There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from lmmaunel's veins," &c.
During all this time, Mrs. Twiggs and
her brother were still sitting on tho bed in
the same posture, crying audibly.
After the singing of the hymn, the Rev.
Mr. Harden approached the prisoner, and
asked in an affectionate but earnest manner,
whether she was guilty or innocent, warn
ing her at the same lime, of the consequen
ces of deceit and lying in this her last mo
ment. She disengaged herself Irom her
brother's arms, and firmly said I did not
tell an untruth during the whole time, and 1
never contradicted anything I have said,
(appealing to Mr. Harden ;) I ant ready to
abide by the law, and I believe my sins are
all forgiven." The Rev- Mr. Crampton then
♦old her, that if she spoke the truth now,
she -would be rewarded for it hereafter, and,
in a bhort prayer, commended her soul'to
God.
The Sheriff then told her brother to leave'
the room, as he was about to perform his
last duty, but the unfortunate man cried
aloud, "save my sister,"' clinging to her, and
refusing to go. He had finally to be taken
away from her by force.
At 10 minutes past 10 o'clock the prison
er was taken from her cell, and linking arms
with the Rev. Mr. Harden, accompanied by
the Sherifl and her spiritual advisers, they
all proceeded in procession to the scaffold.
She ascended the steps slowly yet steadily
crying aloud, and on reaching the platform
was-seated on a chair. The Rev. Mr. Stover
then read the loth chapter of Luke, Mrs.
Twiggs still greatly afiected and crying.—
The Sheriff told her, to speak now if she
had something to say, when she answered
i loudly and firmly,. "This is a hard death,
| and the Saviour has died for me, and I fear
not death. I never seen or knew anything
i about the poisoning of Catharine Ann Clark
'or my husband. I fear not death, I have
I nothing to regret, only the leaving of my
j orphan children—"The Lord gave, and the
Lord has taken away." Mr. Harden then
made a solemn and fervent prayer in her
j behalf, whereupon tho ministers bade her
farewell. Sho thanked them for their kind
j ocas,-and burst out again into tears, when
they shook hands at parting.
The Sheriff, having.pulled the cap over
I her face, pinioned her arms and adjusted
the rope around her nock. During this op
[ eration she cried aloud, and repeated several
times: "I die innocent, I am not guilty."
The Sheriff then left the platform, and
-standing upon the stops, with the lever,
which removed the slides, in his hand, ask
ed her, "Mary Twiggs, nrc you still alive?"
She answered, "yes, sir, I am," and at the
same moment the drop fell, and her soul
was ushered into the [presence of her Cod.
This was at precisely half past 10 o'clock,
and after hanging for 38 minutes, sho was
pronounced dead by the physicians and the
jury, and lowered into a neat coffin. The
doors ol tho jail yard were then thrown
open, and the large and promiscuous crowd,
who had been standing out-side all morn
iug, eagerly pressed in to get a glimpse of
her body.
The curiosity of tho multitude having
been gratified, tho coffin was closed, placed
upon a wagon, and taken, at tho instance of
her brother, to a farm near Little Roaring
Creek, where he resides, there tube buried
by him.
Tho "Columbia Guards" and "Montour
Rities," kept outer without the jail, and a
number of Deputies inside of the jail yard
among the spectators.
Both Clark and Mrs. Twiggs have now
suffered the penalty of the law for their
crimes, and may God have mercy upon
their sonlsJ
Prospects of the Democracy.
In the course of an able article on the
"Congressional Election at tho North," tho
South says :—"But, let the present state of
things be what they may, the prospects of
the Democratic parly of the Union will not
greatly sutler in any event. These elections
over, the Kansas difficulty will be at an end.
There will he no discordant element in the
way of perfect co-operation of all seeiions
of the party, in the next President election.
On the other hand, the disorganization of the
Opposition will become every day more in
tense and impracticable ; the chances of an
effective coalition will constantly diminish,
iu proportion to the increase of candidates
and the multiplication ol irreconcilable is
sues. The most determined of the Black
Republicans wilt adhere to tlio ami slavery
article of their creed, to the bitter end ; but
the occasion for its immediate application
past and the excitement subsided, the con
servative portion of the party will begin to
rellect upou the ultimate consequences ol
such a purely sectional movement. Black
Republicanism will appear in the next Pres
idential canvass, as fiercely sectional as ever,
but with such diminished proportions as to
render it powerless formischief. The"Amer
icans" will doubtless preserve their organi
zation, unless,meantime, they become merg
ed iu the controlling element of the opposi
tion. In either event, the position and pros
pects of tlio Democracy will ho tho same.
We shall bo victorious in 18li0, whatever
the character of the Opposition; ami for
our part, we care not how soon they combine
their scattered forces.
A BALLON BACK.—A balloon race has been
agreed upon between the two celebrated
aeronants, Mons. Godard and Prof. Steiner.
It will commence at Cincinnati on Monday,
the 18th inst. The inflation of the balloons,
each containing 36,000 cubid feet of gas,
will commence at nine o'clock in the morn
ing, and the ascension will take place at four
o'clock. A committee of five citizens have
been chosen who are to act as judges, &c.
They will decide whether the weather in the
morning shall justify the inflation of the bal
loons. When the inflation has commenced
the aeronauts must go. Each may take up
a passenger at his own discretion. The suc
cess of either will he in relation to distance
not height. Arrangements will be made lur
each aeronant to send down, at every town
passed in a parachute, a "log," or note, cou
nting the name of the balloon which passes,
and any incident occurring on the trip so
that the people may be continually -posted
of the whereabouts of tho aeronants, and
the success attending their aerial flight
Mons. Godard and prof. Steiner each expect
to be up three or four days.—Cincinnati Ga
zette.
Hollomayy Ointment and Pillls—A friendly
warning—These great remedial prepara
tions have been imitated, and imitations
may kill as certainly as the genuine articles
cure. To prevent ihe possibility of imposi
tion, purchase no pot of Ointment or box of
Pills unless enfolded in a book of directions
bearing the words, 'Holloway, New York
and London,'' impressed as a water mark on
each leaf. Furnished with the true and le
gitimate specifies, the old, young and mid

STARm THE NORTH.
IVM. 11. JACOBY~EDITOR.
BLOUMBSURG, WEDNESDAY, October 37,18 W.
HO RKIIIL if A I'd DENT.
We are pained to announce the death of
AI.LISON Sntirr, son of Elisha Shalt, which
took place on last Saturday evening, the
23d iust. He met his death under the most
fearful and heartrending circumstanChs that
it has ever been our lot to record.
The circumstances attending the result of
this young and interesting boy's death, as
far as we have been able to learn", is as fol
lows :—lt seems that, the young boy had
gone to the house of Mr. Gordeon 11. Goff,
who resides in this place, for the purpose
ol staying awhile there in the evening, as
Mr GofT and wife was paying a visit to
some of there friends in Briarcreek, and
while occupied in reading, one of the sons
of Mr. Golf" went up stairs for the purpose
getting some apples, and after opening the
stair door, young Shutt observed a gun
standing in tho comer, and asked if it was
loaded, whereupon Mr. Golfs son replied
that'll was not, when, it seems, that Shutt
asked to have tho gun handed to him, which
the son of Mr. Goff endeavored to do, but it
was loaded, and by some cause or other,
while passing it over to him was accidently
discharged, and the whole load takingcffect
in the head of young Shutt, blowing his
brains out, they flying clear across the room,
lie was sitting down at the time immediate
ly in front of Mr. Gofps daughter, and drop
ped his head into her lap. The explosion
had .put out the lights that were burning in
the room at the time, and she supposed that
he was not shot, but soon the awful truth
came over her, for it was only but a few
seconds until she felt the warm blood trink
ling over her hands, tmdsho immediately
went to the house of Mriibbniu and informed
his mother of the sad acciitent—but, alas it
was too late, he never spoke after the dis- j
charge of the gun, and scarcely five minutes |
had elapsed before his soul was in eternity, j
He was in many instances different from j
other boys of his age, studious, of an unex- j
coptionable character, and above all he was
obedient to his parents. He was liked by
all who knew him ;—honest and upright;
a great lover of the different works, that
tendered to things of a future world, for at
the time of his departure from this earthly
sanctuary, or immediately before, he was
reading the Life of Christ Thushas another
justin the bloom oflife been called away from
us so unexpectedly, and too one has been
called who could have looked for eminence
in days to come. Alas how true that man
knoweth not when the Son of man cometli.
His remains were interred in the Metho
dist burying ground on Sunday last, and it
was followed to its final Testing place by a
large concourse of people, and scarcely a dry
eye was to be seen. The funeral sermon
was delivered in the evening by the Rev.
: Mr. Gayer, in the M. E. Church in this place,
' and wasdargely, attended. -
Esquire Morris held an inquest over the
body, arid the verdict of the jury was ren
dered in itccordance with the facts above
mentioned—accidental death.
i THE ELECTION IN BALTIMORE. —As usual
1 the election m Baltimore hasended in blood
j shed. How long the conservative and law
abiding citizens of that city are going
{ to suffer such affairs to continue, wo are
unable to say. Even men were taken from
t their boats, at tho wharves, and forced, by
1 the aid of the revolver anil bowie knife, to
| go to the polls and deposite fraudulent votes.
< Year after year are their elections thus
I controlled, by a band of wretches, who are
' lit but for the portion, known as a felon's
| doom. Such a slate of affairs will soon
cease to be a political virtue among that
portion of citizens, who know and obey the
j laws. For we predict that the time is not
far distant when there will be a vigilence
committee formed, and the scenes of San
' Francisco, will have to be re enacted in
Baltimore; inshort,it is about the only metli
jod left them t cleanse their city,and to put a
stop to such unlawful proceedings. A re
formation is necessary, and we hope it may
soon be made.
W In another column of to-day's STAR
can be found a full report of the execution
of Mrs. Twiggs,the accomplice of Mr. WmJ,
Clark for the murder of Catharine Ann Clark
and the husband of the accomplice, which
took place last Friday, between 10 and 11
o'clock, in the jail yard at Danville, Montour
county. She displayed remarkable fortitude
and protested her innocence to the last.—
Many people flocked to the awful scene,
from all sections; and the town presented,
early in iho morning, quite a lively appear
ance. The last few evenings, she still re
mained on earth, several kind, sympathiz
ing ladies remained with her, in tho dreary
and lonely cell, aiding comfort,and spiritual
ly advising her in the last hours of her earth
ly trials. Wm. J. Clark and Mrs. Twiggs
have bothsuffered the penalty of the law
for their crimes, which there is very little
doubt in the minds of the community, they
both justly deserved.
LADIES' HOME MAGAZINE —Edited by T. S.
Arthur and V. F. Townsand, in Philadelphia
—is received for November, and is a good
number. The Fashion plates are of the
first order. It contains a good quantity of
reading matter, and that too of the ablest
pens. This Magazine is a favorite among
the ladies, and is well calculated to win the
affections of all literary-loving.
IV The Danville Demvcrut says, "a num
ber of our most enterprising and influential
farmers are about establishing a new Insur
ance Company, the members of which shall
consist of persons of their own calling ex
clusively, and must be residents of Montour,
Columbia or Northumberland counties.—
They will hold a meeting,at the Court House,
in that place, on the 27ih of next month, to
perfect the organization."
OT Charles H. Barrett, who was to have
been executed on the 23d, in Washington,
D. C., for the murder of Reese Lewis, in
March last, was respited by the President
for two weeks.
Howard & Hope's Express Companies.
These companies are doing an extensive
business all throughout the United States,
with much credability to 'themselves, and
affording accommodation beyond limit.—
Their Express cars are attached to the daily
passenger trains, by which arrangement
they are enabled to carry goods from all ports
and statjoes with safety and dispatch. And
in order that these Companies may have
their business properly attended to at each
city, Town or trading and shipping port they
appoint some responsible man as an acting
Agent, to forward and receive moneys and
goods. At this place, • our townsman and
fellow citizen, ANHRKW C. MENSCH, Merchant
has received the agency, for this burgh and
neighborhood, and is acting in the capacity
of his appointment with integrity and abili
ty. He is agent for Howard-& Co., and also
for Hope's Express Co., as you will Under
stand; and can be found at his store ever
ready to attend to the functions ol*his office.
All business'entrusted in his care will be
properly and honestly attended to. These
express transportations are of great conve
nience toThe business people, and have the
full confidence of the public Wbenever'ydu
find the interests of these enterprise entrust
ed in the care and supervision of such men
as A. C. Mensch.
• " -Autumn.
We are now fairly in that season when
all earth seems to be wearing its matifle of
yellow. The farmer is now busy gathering
into his "crib" those golden ears of corn,
and the much needed fodder for the benefit
of the brute creation. The leaves of the
forest are fast dropping to the ground, and
all nature is now presenting its most beauti
ful garment. Everything seems to be in
spiring man to hurry on through the busy
season to prepare for the days of pleasure
that is to come.
Summer has departed, with all its pleas
ures and enjoyments, its green fields and
fragrant roses. The merry song of the rob
bin is heard no more. It has departed to a
warmer clime, to return again at the opening
of joyous spring. Alas, all those pleasures
have departed, but will they ever return to
ns. Echo, only answers—perhaps.
"■*" Dogs.
If somebody would "dock" the dogs of
this town, by cutting their tails off close be
hind their ears he would confer an inestima
ble favor. This curtailment of the fair pro
portions of some of the canines would al
low persons to pass along without danger of
losing their limbs, or being partially "chawed
up." None can entertain more kindly feelings
than we for the noble specimens of the race
canine, yet we do protest against the main
! tenace of such countless numbers of ill-fed,
! ill-looking and miserable curs as are to be
j seen each day in this town. The poorer that
| a family is the more dogs it seems to own,
j and it is doubtlul if there is many in town
| who have not a life interest in this species
|of slock. Among the most wretched resi
| dents children may be famishing, yet they
j nearly all manage to keep dogs. We don't
| kgnw tlyu there any remedy for this evil
I save that every citizen who appreciates its
I extent should, vt ti armts, abate it if possi-
I ble, by dispatching the delinquent quadrup
ed.
NEW MILLINERY ESTABLISHMENT. —We feel
gratified to learn that Mrs. A. JENKINS has
recently opened a new millinery establish
ment, in the building formerly occupied, by
Mrs. Rupert, directly opposite Mrs. Lea
cock's Confectionery store, where she will
be glad to see all those who are in want of
anything in her line.- She has constantly
on hand a good supply of Bonnets and Rib
bons, and she is also prepared to execute
all kinds of mantuamaking. She is pleas
ing and obliging, theretore, we bespeak for
her, a full share of patronage. Give her a
call before going elsewhere, and our word
for it, you (ladies in particular) will not go
away dissatisfied.
fhe Baltimore Election.
The Baltimore Exchange in an article on
the recent election in Baltimore, says:—
"The fact that Mr. Swann has been re
elected to the Mayoralty by violence and
fraud is less discreditable to our city, than
the supposition that he has been retained in
office by tho voluntary suffrages of its peo
ple. The truth is, that there was no election
on Wednesday, not even the form or pretence
of one. From the opening of.the polls in
morning until their closing in the evening,
in nineteen wards in the city, they were oc
cupied and held in the hands of armed bul
lies, who,with comparatively few exceptions
as the returns will show, permitted nobody
to vote who did not openly show and as
openly vote the "American ticket. That
ticket, moreover, was so marked upon the
back with a blue chequered or diamond
shapea pattern, resembling that upon the
back of an ordinary playing card, that, how
ever folded, it could be reeognized without
difficulty in the hand of the voter. By this
means, the secrecy of the ballot was effec
tually destroyed, and the ruffians who guard
ed every avenue to the polls were enabled
to tell at a stance whose votes might be ad
mitted, and whose votes were to be exclud
ed. Not content, however, with excluding
legal voters opposed to the election of Mr.
Swann, an immense quantity,—probably
not less than from two thirds to three fourths
of the whole number polled—of purely ille
gal votes, were cast in his favor—not only
men but boys, frequently voting— not twice
or thrice, but ten or twelve times, —not only
in different wards but in the same ward—not
at different horns of the day merely, but
a half a dozen times in succession, with
scarcely an attempt at concealment or dis
guise. Other votes were polled which were
purely fictitious—tickets being handed to
the judges, which were falsely represented
to have been tendered by persons in omni
busses and carriages, who were unable to
get out and walk to the window. In short,
every trick and stratagem which fraud could
invent,and every extremity to which violence
could resort, were successfully employed
for the purpose of electing Mr. Swann."
cywo are authorized to announce that a
meeting will be held in the Academy next
Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming
a Literary Society. Both old aud young will
participate.

THEN AND Now.—Previous to the late
election, the organs of the Opposition party
harped continually upon the idea that the
iron manufacturers had been ruined by Dem
ocratic policy; and that President Buchanan's
Administration hod produced nothing but
ruin and distress. Now, when the election
i uet, and the end desired by those who
published these cliuigcs to u.cemptioncO,
the tune is changed, and whole columns of
their papers are filled with glowing accounts
of the prosperity of business—of large iron
establishments going into operation, and of
the good time dawning upon us generally.
■What has produced the sudden change ?
Certainly not the policy of the Republicans,
lor they are not yet in power. But tho fact
is that the hue and cry about distress, and
the prostration of business, was raised mere
ly to deceive the people into the support of
Republicanism, and that object being secur
ed, the facts need no longer be perverted
How long will the people be deceived by
these dishonorable tricks of scheming poli
ticians ?

jL Glancv Jones, of Pennsylvania, has ac
cepted the appointment of Minister to Au
stria. He will, of course, resign his seat
