WANT! A PHOTOGRAPH.
About two weeks ago tbe Bber'ff oor
tied Mies Eberbart out of tbe jail to have

was temporarily in tbe village. Mr.
Mathews, the Sheriff, asked Spann if hr
wanted bis piature also taken; he said he
did net, bnt about Thursday, tbe 8d
mat,, be became snxioua to beve bis pic-
'..ire taken. When this request wee first
made to tbe Bueriff, be wee disposed to
ratify it, bat it being inooavenbmt, for
few days it woe not attended to atonoe,
ud Upturn beo ime quite aoxioua and ur

iff to reflecting. Whet oould have in-
juoed him to change bia notion upon

anxious to have j)ia ploture takeu 1 I.
woe, to hia miod, suspicious.' He frored
that Spann might try to esoepe— might

some one, or u attempting to esoape,
would have to be shi t, or some Unpleas

decided not to grant tbe request, Some

When the prayer w*s concluded, hr

of nearly fire minute* duration
of but very U Ue impo-tanoe, exboiting
the people to prepare for doath. He le-
ked that it wm Friday before Easter

ot oomlurt and euoonragemtst from the

The Sheriff then adjusted tne rope,
