Darry was executed this morn ing in the jail-yard, at twenty-four and a half minutes to twelve o’clock, for the ap tats ela ; otal On entering the jail-yard, t rrible paraphernalia of death, on the north side, met the eye. Two upright posts, twen- ty feet high, with a trap platform about nine feet from the ground, and steps lead- ing from the floor to the platform, com- prised the instrument with which offend- ed law and justice satisfied its demands. An awning was spread over all, conceal ing the gallows from any sanguinarily curious eyes without, and a coffin of stained wood was supported on stools in front of the gallows, which is the same instrument upon which Fogerty was hanged, some twelve months since. A heavy gale was raging, and a slight fall of snow added horrors to a scene suf- ficiently horrible without the turmoil of the elements. We went into the prison to see Darry, who was in the condemned cell, and con- versing with his friends. He was calm and collected, somewhat affected by the contemplation of the awful scene soon to take place, but bearing it manfully and quietly. As he passed out of the cell to go to the room above to be dressed, he ut his thumbs earelessly into the arm- bites of his = and ning unconcern- edly and unreflectingly, it appeared to us, toward death. After he had arrived at the dressing-room, the Rey. Messrs. Heacock, Smith and Warren conversed with him. He professed himself ready and willing to die. After _a short conversation, Deputy Sheriff Hopkins read to him the death- warrant, accompanying its reading with a few appropriate remarks. During the reading of the warrant he kept a perfect- ly calm and composed demeanor, not in the least affected by it, but occasionally gazed through the barred window in the rear of the jail. Rev. Mr. Warren, after the conclusion of the reading, knelt down with Darry and made a most ear- nest prayer for the dying, from the Epis- copal prayer book. After which, Rev. Mr. Smith made an extemporaneous prayer, solemn and affecting, appealing to ven to show mercy unto the poor criminal, who uttered not one word, or spoke during its continuance, and ap- peared to be the most unconcerned of all in the cell. Rev. Mr. Heacock then prayed for mercy upon the criminal— pathetic and sublime—to which all save the prisoner appeared to respond. It appeared to us that he was stricken with apathy, and did not half realize his terri- ble situation. After the prayer, and while Mr. Hea- cock was conversing with Darry, he ap- peared to be more affected, and spoke, dreading terribly the death he was about to suffer—spoke of it as terrible—horri- ble. He said he had confessed his sins to God, and although he had a reliance upon the mercy of the Redeemer, he yet feared to die. When asked how he felt, by Rev. Mr. Smith, he said: -* Miserable —miserable.”” He said: «I had no no- tion of taking her life.” He was sallow, ale, evidently worn out in mind and dy—haggard and emaciated. One of the officers of the prison in- formed us that Darry, up to within two days since, was continually cursing and swearing—in fact, bearing himself more like a savage than aman. He wept and made great complaints when the officers were dressing him for the gallows —did not wish to be dressed—put his hands to his head and uttered deep groans. He was dressed in a gown of white trimmed with crape, and white drawers. He kept moaning during the whole pi ing. At this.time he was perfectly ghastly, and called frequently upon “ merciful God,” <‘ merciful Jesus,” «oh, Lord!” “oh, Lord !”” The rope was put around his neck, and he was allowed to set down for a while. He then felt of the rope beneath the knot to see if it would slip easily, and inquired if it was ‘a hard death to die.” “ Merciful Jesus, what is this that T have come to,” he exclaimed several times, walking with hurried steps about his cell, and moaning and gr: aning in an awful manner. He was a man of about fifty years of age, his hair sprinkled with gray, but strong and able-bodied. He remained in his cell dressed, with the rope around his neck for some time, never ceasing his agonized walking about the room, except when toward the last he knelt down and offered up a silert ech apparently. He remained on his ees for some moments. At half-past eleven he was led upon the scaffold, ac- companied by the ara jae who had been with him in his cell, where solemn and holy prayers were offered up for the welfare = the = that was about to de- part. He groaned loudly as he ascended the scaffold, but knelt rion calmly. He was a picture of terrible fear, looking more dead than alive. His hands were then tied behind his back, he cryi ‘My God, my God, oh my God deliver me!” The cap was then drawn over his face and the ropecut. At half-past eleven precisely the soul of Wm. Darry was ushered into eternity as an offering to an offended God and a vindication of the majesty of the law. He died very easily ; a few muscular spasmodic movements ofthe feet and legs, with an attempt to raise the hand toward t five minutes after the drop fell, were all that were seen. After eight and a half minutes had elapsed, he was examined by Drs. Smith, Tilden, and Loomis, and pronounced dead. The body was allowed to hang until twenty minutes had expired, when he was cut oi) down, and the remains taken in charge bi 5} of Philadelphia seca seein has crim e received a warning most terri- ble, and the laws of God and man been A Wuuisicat Hen.—Nothing seems so aimless and simple asa hen. She usu- ally goes about in a vague and gling manner, articulating to cacophonous remarks upon various top- ics. The greatest event in a hen’s life is made up of a compound—an egg and a cackle. Then only she shows enthusi- asm, when she descends from the nest of duty, and proclaims her achievement. If you chase her she runs cackling ; you Pelt ~~ with a screams thr the air, cackling all abroad, til tn mpaleg has run out, aod then subsides quickly into a silly gadding hen. Nem me then an somal — ma: und, steppi uite beyond limits of hen ana One such had persisted in laying her daily egg in the house. She would steal noiselessly in at the open door, walk up stairs, leave a plump egg upon the children’s bed. The next day she would honor the sofa. On one occasion she selected my writ- ing table, scratched my papers about, and left her card, that I might not blame the children or servants for scratching my manuscripts. Herdetermination was Cne Sabbath i cay g amusing. we drove her out of the second story win- dow, then again from the front hail. In a few minutes she was heard behind the house, and on looking out of the window she was disappearing in the bedroom window, off the ground floor. Word was given, but before any one could reach the place, she had bolted out of the window with a victorious — and her warm egg lay upon the lounge. I proposed to open the pantry window, set the egg-dish within her reach, and let her put them up herself, but those in authority would not permit such a deviation from propri- ety.

Porvutamion or Russia.—The follow- ing, accerding to the almanac of the im- perial academy of sciences of St. Peters- burg, was the population of Russia at the last census in 1849, The population of Russia in "urope was 60,428,200, and that the whole of the empire was 66,428,- 200. It was, in 1772, 14,000,000; in 1782, 20,000,000; in 1795, 36,000,000; in 1818, 45,500,000; in 1824, 50,000,000; in 1838, 59,000,000; and in 1842, 62,- 500,000. These augmentations arise from the conquests of the Crimea, of the Caucasus, Poland, Finland, &c., which additions of territory have more than doabled the extent of the empire in 1722. The augmentation of 4,500,000 between 1818 and 1824 shows an increase of pop- ulation of one-tenth in six years, and of double in sixty years, according to which calculation, M. Stchekaloff that in 1892, Russia will have 230,000,000 of inhabitants. Mosqurtors.—At a late meeting of the Boston Natural History Society, Dr. Durkee made some remarks upon the mosquito, of interest to the numerous victims of that active and provoking in- sect. Among other things, he stated that he had satisfied himself, from re- peated examinations with the microscope, that the male mosquito has no sting, and cannot draw blood, the female alone be- ing endowed with that organ. The male lives upon the juicesof flewers and plants. One fact of considerable interest, stated by the Doctor, is, that instead of being a four days’ wonder as some have re- garded them, many of them actually live in cellars and other warm retreat all winter !
