The reeitiomeof JAILLS MARSHALL,
Esq., a •short distance from Fairfield,
this county, cams very near being de
stroyed by fire on Tuesday night last.
A chimaey bad been " burnt out " dur
ing the day, and there haring been at
the time a quantity of wood in the firo
place, it is supposed that some sparks
or coals fell among and idler a while ig
nited it, communicating fire to the floor
and the mantle piece. A girl employ
ed in the family, sleeping immediately
above, was aroused-by the extraordina
ry heat and crackling of the flames,
aid made her escape by leaping from a
window. By very prompt efforts on
the part of Mr. Marshall the fire was,
we are glad to say, extinguished before
doing serious damage.
By appointment of thoTresbytery of
Carlislo, which mot at Groencastlo a
few days since, Rev. J. R. Wzasza will

Inanition of Andoroos and Richards.
LAscairria, April 9.-r-This is the day
appointed by the Governor for cartj o i l y t
into effect the sentence of the
upon Alexander Anderson and Henry
Richards, the two negroes convicted
of the murder of Mrs. Garber and Mrs.
Ream, two respectable elderly ladies of
Manheim township, about five miles
from this city. The murder was com
mitted on Tuesday morning, December
16th, at the house of Mr. Conrad Gar
ber, while he was out attending to bu
siness. Mrs. Ream was a relative by
marriage of Mrs. Garber, and bad call
ed in to see her. While she was there,
the murderers came in, on pretext of
obtaining a joo as chimney sweeps, and
finding the women defenceless, they
stabbed them, leaving them dead on
the door, and then stole such money
as they could lay their hands on and
fled.
As soon as the crime was discovered
the population was aroused, and pur
suit made of the supposed murderers,
who had been lurking about the neigh
borhood. They wore arrested the same
evening, and were tried and convicted
at the last term of tile Court. Since
their conviction, they have made a full
confession of their guilt, and acknow
ledged the justice of their Conviction
and punishment.
The execution, of course, had to take
place in the yard of the prison, before
a limited number of spectators. The
gallows was erected yesterday. It
consisted of four upright timbers, six
teen feet high, connected at the top by
four cross-tics, across two of which the
beam rested to which the ropes were
attached. The platform on which the
prisoners stood was seven feet six in
ches from the cross-beam. The plat
form was made to drop entirely to the
ground, by the turn of a lever. Tan
was spread on the ground, to prevent
any noise from the falling of tho plat
form.
The prisoners have for some time ex
pressed great contrition, Andersen par
ticularly being very penitent and ex
pressing perfect confidence in religion,
reading his Bible often and declaring
that ho would die happy. Richards
has been less composed in manner, and
less consistent in his conversation. An
derson has made a fall and lengthy con
fession, which will he published. Rich
ards has confessed his guilt verbally to
the ministers attending him ; but it
only confirms the statements of Ander
son.—Anderson's confession makes a
pamphlet of sixty-four pages, and is a
strange narrative. It declares that
they murdered the women for 121 cents
which they wanted to got a pint o
whiskey, and that both of thorn were
drunk when the crime was committed.
There was great anxiety to witness
the execution, and many people from
the country came into town for the
purpose, a large proportion of thorn be
ing from Manheim a nd its neighborhood.
Attempts were made to see from plat
forms erected outside of the walls, bat
they were not successful.
The Sheriff was very strict, and in
spite of the thousands of applications
fur admission only about one hundred
persons wore permitted to enter the
prison yard.
The prisoners passed the night com
posedly. The morning was spent in
religions exercises and in conversation
with the ministers and others admitted
to see them. The_ writ required that
they should be hang between the hours
of 10 A. M., and 3 P. 31.
About ten o'clock the wife and chil
dren of Anderson were admitted to see
him, ai d the interview and parting were
most affecting. .
Soon after eleven o'clock the proces
sion moved from the interior of the
prison to the platform in the yard, and
the prisoners walked firmly to the fatal
spot and mounted the steps. Anderson
made a prayer, fervently and calmly,
in which ho appealed for mercy for
himself and Richards. Neither of them
made Ipeeches, lion ever.
At twenty-five minutes before twelve
o'clock, ropes being adjusted around the
necks of the criminals, and all others
having kit the platform, the lever was
moved, and it fell, leaving thorn hang
ing. Anderson died without a strug
gle, and Richards' struggles were not
protracted.
After hanging for about half an
hour, the bodies were taken down for
interment.
ia-The will of the Into Joseph Paul,
a wealthy farmer of Washington town
ship, Bucks county, is just now tho
snbject of much surprise and remark.—
hir. Paul was killed by fallirg from a
barrack. Ho left a widow, a lady who
at the time of her marriage, was pos
sessed of $2,000 or 43,000 in her own
right, but no children. On opening the
will, it was discovered that she was
left comparatively nothing; that a bro
ther of the deceased had been willed
four acres of ground, and the balance of
the estate had been left to two nephews
(his sister's sons) equally, upon 'the
singular conditions that they were both
to change their names, one to Joseph
Paul, and the other to Joshua Paul; and
in ease either one refused to do so, then
the estate was to go wholly to the one
who complied with the conditions. Ono
of the nephews, both of whom reside in
Backs county, was a married man with
three children, and as a change of name
would be rather inconvenient under
such circumstances, he has sold out his
right to the other for $4,000 in cash.—
The purchaser decided to comply with
the conditions,and has accordingly been
changed into Paul by the court. The
widow, however, not satisfied with re
ceiving lees than she brought, has filed
a caveat against the will in the courts of
Bucks county, and intends contesting it
there.
Smashed Dawn and Runaway.—One
day last week oar young friend, Mr.
Edwin ernzarine, of Manchester, paid a
visit to our town, driving a fancy horse
attaehed to a very neat and light sulky.
After showing the fancy stock around
to the great delight of all admirers of
"fast hosses," he started for home, but
met with an accident at the upper end
of town, which might have resulted is
his death. Passing along at a pretty
rapid rite, tho axle -tree of the sulky
broke, precipitating him.with stunning
force upon the ground, when the - horse
pit °rat fall speed kw home, and was
not arrested until he reached the resi
denoe of Mr. Xillsr t it the old Fetter.

Burned to Death.—An interesting lit
tle girl 4 to 6 years of age, whose
parents reside in west Patrick street,
was burned to death by its clothing
taking fire in a room where it had been
left locked up, together with a little
boy of about 18 months of age, by the
mother, while she went out on business.
How the fire was communicated to the
child's clothing is not known, but when
the neighbors, being attracted by the
smoke, broke the door open, they found
it burned to a crisp, so perfectly stiffen
ed that it could be handled like a piece
of wood. The younger escaped with
very slight injury. Isho family are
strangers in the city, and very poor.—

Patent Fire and Water Proof Elastic
Cement Roofing.
It is perfectly Fire and Water proof, and
in point ofdurability is equal, if nut superior,
to anT Metatic Roofing. It can be put on
over tin, tar, iron, or shingle roofs, however
fiat or steep they may be.
In pins of resisting the elements of fire

eqmil to the Elastic Cement.
Those who have used it, have testified that
it is the very perfection of Roofing, and that
there is no further room fir improvement.—
No one will now think of putting on shingles,
when this Cement can be had for much less
money and will outwear four shingle roofs.
This 'Roofing is warranted as represented.
The Elastic Cement ie the Cheapest and
best protection front decay for wuod exposed
to the weather or dampness of the ground.
It is also the best paint fir iron, effectually
preventing rust: and wherever applied per
fectly excludes dampness.

quantities to suit. For further infbrmation,
apply to GEORUE at. COLE,
