J. t ~U tut lilt, of i\lrr Hi utl, a Freocti man. wbo, on tin "Al oi November iasi, staid.. J bis agerl w ile to tbe bean for no r.lL' i reason than a fancied conspiraer be t .vicn herself and a neighbor to defraud him ol some ell dollars. Since bis condemnation, the prisoner has exhibited a weakness seldom observed in those condemned to death. OUI and decrejiuL he looked to his execution as somethin;: so horrible that suicide was far preferable. He even tried to starve himself to death by abstaining from food for several days at a time. At times during his long irn priVonmact, hopes of reprieve were enter tained hr the condemned mam hut on the dsv preceding that appointed for tbe execu tion, all hope uas given up. arJ for the Urn time he requested that his children might l>e allowed to visit him. Tbcj.came, and the ;»s may l*e imagioed, au ante*.mg idle. As the hour apppointed tor his execu tion drew near, tbe excitement and trepida tion of the mis Table -Id man Uaame more and more inleu**-, until at 11 e*clock, w.ien tbe sheriff entered the cel! to prepare the prisoner for execution, be became so com pletely overcome witti weakness, as to be uuable to stand, but lay grovelling upon his bed. crying like a child, and shrieking in mortal agony. So completely prostrated was he that the power of speech finally deserted him and he rolled about and wrung his hands like one bereft of all seuse or reason. Tire time for leading forth the prisouer tor execution having suited, efforts were made to nerve the old' titan for the last scenes ol his existence. He still lay upon his cot powerless, and it was found necessary to lift him into a chair in this helpless condition his arms were piniooed. and the black cap was placed upon bis head. Next came the adjustment of the noose, during which the prisoner broke forth anew 1U veils of horror, while the sweat started copiously from every pore, and every limb was convulsed as with a mortal agony. The chair containing the poor wretch was now seized hv two stalwart officers, who thus bore him to the gallows, at the if w hiob Cucue 1 fairly swooned away ffiKto revive wbeu placed upon the drop. The Sheriff then approached and said, "Pe ter, tbe time has come when I must execute the setence of tbe law upon you. Are you ready' You know you promised me to act your part like a man." The only reply from the fear stricken man was : "Make haste —make haste 1 lam ready—farewell!” The black cap was new drawn over tbe face of prisoner: a motion from the officer : the glistening in the sunlight ol the fatal axe as It descended upon the rope : a sadden fall, and all that » as mortal ol Peter Cucuel hung a quivering corpse beneath a gibbet’s beam. Mrs. Gaskslu—This lady died in Eng land on the 13th ult. She was born about the vear 1800, and was married in 1832 to a clergyman at Manchester. She issued her first work. "Mary Barton, auuouymously, in 1848. Since 1848 Mrs. Gaskell has writ ten much. ‘’Ruth" appeared about 1852 ; and although not so striking a work as its predecessor, Mrs Gasketl’s reputation lost nothing bv it. Another of her popular nove s was’ "North and South," in which the incidents of a strike in the manufacturing districts were nairated. Besides these Mrst Gaskell wrote stories idr tbe leading serials, some of which wete subsequently published in a collected form. But her greatest wot k was her "Lite of Charlotte Bronte,"of which it has been said that n > biography has equalled it since Bosw ell’s "Johnson.” Mrs. Gaskell was a contributor to the London News. She was much esteemed in Eng land. and her death will leave a blank not easily tilled.
