The Younger Brothers. A gentleman who lately visited the | full speed. Younger Brothers, now in prison a Stillwater, Minnessota, writes to the jin Si Lexington Intelligencer as follows: I took the mornmg train. Aug. 21st, on the Duluth road by way White bear lake, to Stillwater. Be tore reaching the city the train made ou tha a halt, and the conductor cred “States Pirson.’”? Thinking meant me, I stepped down and out, the | on | and made tor the entrance of prison. The first room reached the left of the hall was the warden’s | I called for J. A.

After passing usual compliments, we started for the work shops, passing through several iron doors and sentinels we reached ‘the yard, and thenthe entrance to the work shops where we boarded a large elevator which took us zionward, where we landed m safety. Atter leaving the elevator, the first thing that drew my attention was the state- ly form at Cole Younger, who, from the vice-like grip of his hand, mea hearty and friendly welcome. Thea Bob and Jim followed suit, and by the time they had all got if it had been caught betweena car bumper. They were all glad to see and by permission of the warden we seated ourselves as comfortably as circumstances would admit, and had a social chat, as the boys were anx- ious to hear trom their relations and triends, and also their comrades dur- ing the war, many of whom I had seen on my late visit through Mis- souri and Texas. Cole Younger’s age is 40 years, and he is looking much the worse for his confinement, the wounds that he received during the war and when captured have produced a rheumatic affection, which in this cold climate has become constitutional.

As | the state furnishes the provisions, and | the convicts did the cooking, there was no excuse for asking a blessing, as it was purely a matter ot state. I discharged my duties like a major, but must retrain from giving the bill of fare as it would have a_ tendency to increase crime in our state 1f they knew how well the prisoners are fed. After 1 had done myself justice the warden concluded from the way I destroyed state hashthey could not get rid of me any too soon, and I re- ceived an unconditional discharge.

A Sudden Summons. **Dispatched to heaven quickly! This was the exclamation of Rev. John Butler, a colored he paused in the midst ot his in the Missionary minister, as ermon Baptist church at Wyandotte, yesterday and leaning terward upon the pired. ‘ For a moment the large congrega- tion which filled the church did not comprehend the meaning of the last words of their pastor. The minister remained ina standing position, with his tace upon the ‘open Bible, alter, instantly ex- and forming his duties in the most satis- factory manner, under the watchful eye of Ben. Bayow, who has been his guard tor seven years, and up to the present time reports a clear rec- ord for him. Jim Younger is 35 years of age, ana if his looks indicate his feelings, he must be miserable. He talks but little. as his left jaw bone was shot to pieces when captured, and a_ ball still remains in his neck, which very paintul, and he has The Northfield said. ‘Being his first offense his immediate pardon would be a Christian act as he has paid the penalty of his crime and must continue to suffer the remain- der of his lite from his wound, and the only comfort he could receive would be the privilege which might be giyen him ot dying with his fnends.’’ He positively denies the report circulated of his death, and I have reason to believe rect.

At length, however, one of the deacons ot the church went to the pulpit and found that he was dead. No sooner did it become known among the audience that Rey. Mr. Butler had dropped dead, than the wildest excitement prevailed. The men were dumb with astonishment, many of the women were in hysterics and all pressed around the pulpit to see their fallen spiritual teacher. A colored physician who chanced to be present, went forward and after exam- ing the body, pronounced life ex- tinct. As soon as practicable the remains were placed in a casket and removed to the late home ot the deceased. The physicians who axamined the body were of the opinicn that death was caused by heart disease. Rev.
