TO LETS for sale atthis office.
Court cf Quarter Sessions, «fcc. —Before
Judges McClure and Parke.
Monday, April let, 1861.
The cases cf HughMcCue and 0 H. Bisley,
cross indictments for assault and battery, were
concluded, resulting in the conviction of both
ana there being fined $lO and costs each.
Hugh and Mary McCue were then tried fnr
keeping a howdy house, on oath of C. H
Kieiay, convicted and sentenced to a One of
cents, each, the husband to two months ana
the w>fe to one month in prison.
C H. Kisley was indicted for selling liquor
on Sunday, on oath of Mrs. McCue. He first
plead not guilty, baton the prosecutrix swear*
ing she had bought ale and whisky at his
tavern on Sunday, substituted one of guilty.
.Sentence was deferred until Saturday.
Hugh McCue, indicted fir Belling liquor
■without license, was fined $lO and coßts.
A case of surety of the peace between Mo
<Cuo and Kisley was then tried, resulting in the
pfcrtiea being ordered to divide the costs.
We imagine the experience of the present
term will satisfy all these parties of the folly
of going to law. McCue and wife are both
sentenced to fine and imprisonment and on
Saturday Kisley will also be sent t<> jail, as
the Court has no other recourse. When all
have paid their fines and served out their
lermt they will appreciate the ioconveLience
of croßß-suits.
Cross suits of surety the peace between
John Walters and Wesley Kay were then
tried, and the defendant in each case directed
to pay the c^sts.
Cross suits rf a«fault and battery between
the same parties, were alao tried, resulting in
the aequital of both.
George Cupples, a lad, was tried for assault
and battery on William Anderson, another
boy, while at play, convicted and fined $1 and
costs.
James Brennan plead gu.lty to selling liquor
without licence and was fined $lO and coets.
John W. Williams, formerly of West Pitts
burgh, convicted of forgery, at the laat term,
in signing the name of Adam Appel, to
his bond as tax collector, for that borough,
and awarded a new trial, on the ground of
newly discovered testimony, was again placed
on trial. F. U. Collier and T. B. Hamilton,
Kaqs., appeared for the prosecution and Hon.
P. C. Sbannon and M. Swartzwelder, Esqa.,
for defendant. Tne testimony of the Com
monwealth bad not all been heard at adjourn
ment.
Could hot Force a Salk -A married woman
residing in Temperancevtlle, went into a dry
goods store on Market street, yesterday, where
she looked at some table-cloths. She priced
one, and as the proprietor of the store alleges,
ordered it, but the woman asserts that she
thought it 100 dear and offered a smaller
amount for it, which the clerk refused to take
She therefore looked at some linen, purchased
a piece and took out a quarter to pay for it,
wheo the clerk took it from her hand and.
wrapping it up with the linen, said she could
have both when she paid the balance on the
linen and tbo price of the tablecloth. The
woman went to tbo Mayor's office and* made
information against the clerk for larceny.—
The Mayor held that, however provoking the
refusal ol the woman to take the goods pur
chased. the clerk had no right to coerce her
into taking them by summarily seizing her
money. The storekeeper thought it better to
return the woman her quarter iban have the
case go to court, and handed it over, B&ying
to hie customer, as he left the office, that he
hoped she would not return to his etore.
.Disappearance —%A young girl of sixteen,
Haft the residence of her parents, Water alley,
near Federal street, Allegheny, on Saturday
evening, to go to church, as Bhe said, and has
not since boon heard of, except that a person
answering her description was seen by the
police, walking on the common near the
Penitentiary, with a man. The mother fears
that the girl might have been led away by some
one with evil designs, as she subsequently dis
covered that her daughter's best clothes were
missing, strengthened by the fact that a
-woman of loose character occupies a room in
the building where they reside. The father of
the girl is addicted to intemperance and It is
possible that she may have gone away without
any evil intension. Information of the facts
have been given to Mayor Drum, who will do
all in his power to find the missing one.
Movino Day. —Yesterday dawned unpro
pitiously upon thoso who had the mifortune to
oe tenants and well prepared for “flitting,”
as it commenced raining early in the morning
and continued at intervals throughout the
day. The movers asked for a suspension of
the rules, but the clerk of the weather insisted
on the previous question, and those who did
jemove wereob’iged to “stand the storm” and
go c*n “in spite of mud and weather.” Happy
were those few who could postpone tho disa
agreeable Uik until a more pleas&ntday, as all
who were in a condition to do so did. Conse
quently the confusion incident to moving will
be extended into the middle of the week, per
haps longer.
The Fayette County Railboad.—A bill
has been introduced into the House supple
mentary to the act incorporating the Fayette
County Railroad. It provide* that the Com

nellsville, Fayette county, to intersect the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, they shall in
tersect said road at or near Greensburg, or by

yesterday made information before Mayor
Wilson, charging Patrick Dunn, a Unant of
living in a house on Wylie street, with
the larceny of a stove, which ho alleges he left
in the Louse and Dunn removed and sold.
He also states that Dunn disfigured his walls

of procuring a good Lrvl of oil land in fee
simple uj a good one, and those desiring to in

A athan ie{ (',i)i am a ham, Batcher, >n Or/o-
her, 178.
In a letter from said Joseph Taylor to bis
kind friend and countryman, Mr. Phelim De
lance, in Boston.
E<m Uakhor, Mouth of the Delaware,)
Mv Dkar Friend : You will, no doubt, be
greatly netonisbed at receiving a letter ffom
one whom you so lately ehw, to all appearance,
numbered with the dead, with all the igno
miny of h public and shameful execution. But
though strange as it may appoar, it is no less
strange than true, that, blessed be Cod for his
infinite go-'dness, 1 am now among the liviug
to praise him. It was my fervent desire that
you should he made acquainted with the steps
which were taken to recover me to life imme
diately after my being hanged. But thedoctor
who managed the affair would not admit of
more than live persons in the secret, as be
Icarud a discovery, and said a crowd around
mu wouid bo fatal, and prevent tbe air getting
into my lungs, and O’Douneli and Teeter had
boon told of it before I saw you, and they,
with the doctor, hu young man. and a person
bo brought with him, made the five. I there
fom take this early opportunity to let you
kn. w of my being alivo and in health, blessed
bo God, as i hope that these lines will find you.
as al*o the circumstances which attend my ex
ei-uiion and recovery to life, asalio ray present
frame of mind and resolution, through the grace
! ft <l. t i sin no more, but endeavor after new
obedience.
You retnemb'T that you, among other
friend?. bad great hopes of my being pardoned
t>n ol my youth . but when their hon
ors .-at, 1 soon found i must be made an ex
ample of, as they wore determined never to
pardon hifcbwaynn*n. i then began to prepare
nr death, but must nned» say, though I bad
many affecting cor.ft rences with the reverened
parsons who vno led mu mja 11, I never, eveo
niter ray condemnation. nWv.-vj that I was
suddenly tu do* in -•• awful a manner, until a
gentleman, who 1 Hfiorwatds found was a
duct*'-, came an 1 tulkul priv-u.-iv with the
Ute unhappy sufferer, and my !'• !..«w c uivict,
Archibald Ta\ior, who, when tho g-ntioraan
wa* gone, come b* m-* with money in hi? hand,
and so smiling a countonance, that l thought
ho had received it in charity. But he 60on
understood me, tailing me with an air of gai
et) that it was tho price of his b-xly, and then
added a shocking speech, which I sincerely
hope is blotted out of the book of God’s ro*
m*-iubrano« against h:s poor soul.
This wns the first time since my condem
nation that 1 thought what it was to die. Tbe
shock was terrible, and Taylor increased it,
saying that the doctor bad desired him to bar
gain with me lor my body also. The thoughts
of my bones not being permitted to remain in
tbo grave in peace, and my body, which my
poor mother had so often caressed and dandled
on iur knee, and which bad been so pampered
by my frieods in my belter days being glashed
and mangled by tbe doctors, was too muoh for
mo. I had been deaf to tbe pious exhorta
tions of the priests, but now my conscience
was awakened, and hell seemed indeed to
yawn for me.
What a night of horror was the next night!
When tbe doctor came in the morning to bar
gain for my body, 1 was in a cold sweat; my
knees smote together, and my tongue seemed
to cleave to tbe roof of my mouth. Ho per
ceived tho agony of my soul, and asked mo
some questions of the stale of my mind. I
found utterance, and poured out my heart to
him He seemed affected at my distress, espe
cially as ray conduct was so different from that
of A. Taylor's; and after pausing, he left me
without men.nning tbo sale of my body, and
said he would caii again tho next day. lie
came and a*ked rao privately whether I had
two or throe friends 1 could depend upon to
assist in ary thing fur my benefit. He com
municated his design of attempting to recover
me to l;f. if my body could be carried, imme
diately altar 1 was cut down, to some conve
nient place, out of the reach of tbe people, as
suring me b\ all that was sacred, that if he
faibd in his attempt ho would give my body a
Christian burial. I cl >scd with it without
h*siution. Thedoctor then left rue, and soon
after Tector and O’Donneli came to see me, to
whom I communicated the plan in confidence.
Tho d.n.l >r came back to charge mo not to
trust un>r»* persons than wero sufficient to carry
ray body from tbe gallows to the place pro*
vidgd.
I told him who the persons with me were;
and upon O’Douneii's engaging to procure a
number of bis countvmen to remove my body
to a private place, who were not to be let into
tue secret, but suppose it was to secure my
body fr«. in tho doctors, beseemed pleasod with
the plan, and made us promise to admit r.o
more persons into tbe secret, upon pain of his
not having to do in the affair so soon as it
should be discovered. Lie ga\o them money
to hire a ei*.ail Nat to be in readiness nt tho
wharf, nearest to the place of execution, which
boat 1 think was hired of one Mr. Skinner or
Skillings, near Ulivcr'o Dck Thu doctor
undertook to find tho place of t-x«uution,
which was then reported to be in several places
and to pr> cure a two mast boat with a good,
cuddy, which wae to be mo*.red cfl tbo wharf
at a convenient distance, all which was accord
ingly done. The Iwo-mast boat in which was
tbe doctor, hi- fio-i.d and apprentice, with
their doctors’ instrument.-, was ra.sored up tbo
bay, near the callow-, mo morning of tho exe
cution day, but fell ilowi; with tho ido, about
two hours bahire the oi'-.-uimn, toward Dor
chester Point, for *; : .-mg grounded.
The stale of my mind, after my conversa
tion with the d >ctor, unui tho day *>f execu
tion, it is impossible for me to describe. This
glimpse of hope—this mere chance of escaping
tho laws of death, and of avoiding the eyes of
an offended Judge* rt whose bar 1 was noways
prepared to appear, seemed but to render ray
mind more distracted. 1 sometimes indulged
myself with the thoughts of being recovered to
life, and as X had fortunately concealed my
real name, thatl might return, like the Prodi»
gal, to my parents, and live a life devoted to
God and their comfort. But I oftener feared
the means might fail to bring me to life, aDd
then i wished that this scheme had never been
mentioned, as the hopes of life seemed to pre
vent my conversion, and then, to be surprised
irto another world, totally unprepared, how
terrible ! Thus distracted, tho time flew, and
the awful day arrived. In the morning tbe
reverend parsons visited me. 1 was much
softened by their conversation, and really, at
that time, wished 1 had nover seen tbo doctor,
but by the near and certain approach of death,
had been prepared to live in those blissful
mansions w’hich are prepared in the world of
glory for the truly penitent.
Soon after they loft u?, tbe doctor's young
man came (under pretense of a message from
Mrs. Ranger, who had shown me much kinds
ness in jail, the reward her for it) to re
new the doctor’s directions how to conduct
my body as not to suffer the least shock. He
left me the following paper:
Thursday morning, May Bth, 1789.
Taylor,ever? thing depends on yeur presence of mind.
that the human m&obine may be put in tune
a*aiQ il'you preserve the spinal muscle from
do not di-ioraie me vertobius of the neck; as the solli
spiuaiis is deduced from the transverse processes ol
the vertabm-of '.lie throat, and s lat erly inserted into
the veaeb; a- of the neck, its connection wuh me whole
human frame i.« material; so that you must endeavor
t. o'k ill" knot behind y-ur neck, anu press your
throat upon the baiter, which will prevent the necks
breaking, an i likewise me compression < f the
ana preserve ihe t irculations in some degree. Keep
up your tp.riis.
My hopes wero now raised, and my former
terror dia not return upon u:e, which 1 doubt
not w&s observed by the reverend parson who
attended me, by the officers of justice, and tbe
multitude, who doubtless compared my beha
vior with that of ray fellow-sufferer. It is
true, when I mounted the stage, I dreaded tbe
pain of Ranging as I should any other bodily
pain, equally severe; but the far greater dis
tress of meeting an offended, inexorable Judge,
and being consigned to endless misery, was
i,- U ■
*. , v*.
-.»v
done away. For the nearer the time of
cution approached, the more my reliance on
tbe doctor increased.
You were present at the solemn parting with
and warning which was. given to the people—
at the excellent prayer of the Rev. Mr. Stil
man, and the dropping of the trapß, which to
all appearance, launched me and my poor, un
happy follow prisoner, Archibald Taylor, into
a boundless etaroity.
But to return to my particular feelings—X
preserved my presence of mind, and, when the
baiter was fastened, remembered the doctor's
directions, and while the prayer was making I
kept gently turning my head so as to bring the
knot on the back of my neck, nearly, as O’Don
nell afterwards informed me, and as you and
others observed. When the trap fell I had all
my senses about me, and though I have no re
membrance of bearing any sound among the
people, yet I believe I did not lose my senses
until some minutes after. My lirat feelings af
ter the shock of falling was a violent strang
ling and oppression for want of breath; this
soon gave way to a pain in my eyes, which
seemed to d&rt on and off Like lightning ; set
ting ever and anon upon my snoulderg as if
they weighed ten hundred tons; and after one
terrible flash, in.which the two balls seemed
to join in one, 1 sunk away without pain, like
one falling to sb ep.
What followed after I was turned off you
know, as I was informed you kindly assisted
my other friends in taking.the body down as
soon as you were permitted, 5 and conveying it
across the salt works to the small boat; i was
from thence carried on board the two-mast
boat to the doctor, to all appearance dead ; for
O'Connell, who was directed by the doctor to i
cut and loosen my clothes, and rub me, throw- j
ing water on me, could perceive no life in me,
but told the doctor it was too late; But the
doctor was not discouraged ; and in one hour
and twenty-two minutes after I was brought
on board the boat, making two hours and
forty-three minutes after I was turned off, he
perceived signs of life in me, by a small mo*
tion and warmth in my bosom. In twenty
minutes after 1 gave a violent deep groan.—
Here description fails! 1 cannot describe the
intolerable agony of that moment! Ten
thousand stranghogs are trifling to it I The
first confused thoughts 1 had were, that it was
the'moment of my dissolution ; for I had no
knowledge of my removal from the gallows,
but was quite insensible from the time I first
lost myself to that in which I recovered—ex
cept some faint glimmerings of a scene, which,
faint and confused as they were, I shall never
forgot, but which I feel impressed upon my
heart, I ought to communicate to no man liv
ing. I was soon after this violent anguish
made sensible where 1 was ; the doctor’s stuff,
and sight of my friends, restored meir a great
measure to my sensei. The doctor would not
allow me to talk much; but feeling fatigued,
be permitted me to lie down, having two per
sons by me to rub me with a brush while 1
slept When I awoke it was dark. I felt
somewhat light headed and confused from the
dreadful scene I had passed through. All hands
were now called, and a solemn oath was taken
by all present not to tell any thing which had
happened until they should know that I was
Bafe out of the country ; and then not to dis
cover the doctor, his friend, or apprentice. I
was then put on shore, and went from thence
on board the vessel which brought me here.
1 am engaged to go Gottenburg, m Sweden ;
and shall sail to-morrow in a ship which is
coming down the river from Philadelphia. I
shall take my family name, and return to my
parents a Prodigal Son indeed. God grant, as
I have severely eaten husks, that I may soon
cat in my earthly parents’ house; and be pre

ry /lave, and such as angels eat, in that house
which is not made with hands, eternal in the

May 12, 1789,
I remain jour assured friend, until death
shall indeed come. JOSEPH TAYLOR.
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RE
quest cf several of my patients who have improved
coutideral ly under my treatment, and with the numer
ous applications of some, who are desirous of placing
themselves under my care, sa veil as to carry out the
suagesuooa made by the daily press, 1 have made such
arrangements as will enable me to yield to their wishes
and will remain here lor some weeks longer.
As there are, to my certain k owledge, in this oity
numerous sufferers from the defectof bearing and sight
wno stand m need of my professional services, and who
d a fer calling until they see that a complete oure is ef
fected on some of iht-ir friends or acquaintances who
are uoder my treatment, forgetting at the same ume
that their cases may be entirely different, and conse
quently not require the same treatment, or should a
protract* d one i e nece*aary, it will then not be more in
tn> pjwcrifi undertake iheir evses st aU,
Tiit-re a e also many who have been tampered with
by pr 'tenders, sn 1 have, therefore, lost ail faith SDd
'•ups that there is even a probability cf obtaining relief
f'Om Uuir ailmi uts, uo* making any allowance that it
istoiliHvwuuof proper treatment they owe their Bufler
.ng». To all those I am des.roas uf pointing out first,
the test’mooi&ls 1 published here from some of the
most influential citizens of the United S ates ought to
satisfy tne must doubting minds; secondly, the Eulo
c uid beetowed on me by the press, would ofiiself he a
sufficient recommendation, and above ad, it is with no
-ma.i gnori-mtiou aud pleasure thAl 1 can refer to par*
ties m lb--! c ty who testify u> the success of my treat
ment. and the great benefit they have derived there
from, and 1 evau myself of this opportunity of assuring
moss who intend consulting me that they will always
receive from me a candid opinion as to the state of
their malady, and without adapting that charlatan
phrase, guarantee of cure, (which no conscientious
physician would do). I will endeavor to use my utmost
ability to effect a cure where there is a chance of doing
so, where 'here is none 1 never hesitate of giving my
decided opinion. The years of study and labor 1 have
devoted to aural and apthalmic diseases, and the great
experience 1 have had in Europe and in the l ulled
Staten, warrants me without fear of contradiction, to as
sert ihat there in no one in the United States better
qualified to g v© a more reliable opinion than myself.—
And in ooueluaion l beg lo sta'o that those who aru
suffering from the Lhseasea oi Kar and Eye, should not
loose th a opportunity, and as my stay is necessarily
lnn.toi, uot to loos a any time in order to have the full
benefit during my s-ay, as it will be totally impossible
lor me lo’undertake any case after the first'*, f M* v,
where a lengthening treatment and my personal at
tendance wiifoe necessary,
