At this time a reminisence that cizcumstanee, in connection with this one, may be worth relating Writing from memory only, of a story long noe related to us by the condemned man, w err slightly in dates, but in the i stances can give a true version ently like romance for a work of fietion. -three years ago there lived in the vi- Manchester, Vt,, two men by the natie and another brother-in-law to the by the name of Colvin. These three men lived with their families in log cabins, upon anew territory. a little out of the way ot neighbors, where they often worked together »aring the land, or planting avd tending their s Asit was then the universal fashion in tant now total abstinence State, to drink whiskey to excess, it followed, as a matter’ of course, that was an occasional quarrel, and metimes a drunken row, such as would pass ter even atythis day in New York. Our informant state, aiso, that the women were not exempt entirely from spiritual influences. Exroh of the parties, we believe. had children ; at any rate Colvin had several, and some of these, in his drunken moments, he denied the right of calling him father, and that produced quarrels between him and his wife. In these, asthe Bawnes alleged, he shamefully belied and abused their sister, and for which they had been heard to threaten him with vengeance— the witness said with death. In this state of iawily difficulties they were living, when one slay, while all at work together, either plant- vt beeing a crop, the brothers and brother- tn-law got into a violent quarrel—so after- wards said the women, who alone witnezsed it —duriog whieh Colvin —— Of course, everybody believed Bownes bad murdered and secreted the miss- ing Colvin. Toil inquiries the same tale was ‘d, that he had gone off. no one knew why or where, and nowhere could he be heard of by personal inquiries or through the press. News- papers were not the institution then that they are now. The Bownes acknowle that in the quarrel one of them struck Colvin a pretty severe blow on the head with his hoe, but that it did not disable him, because he immediately walked off and went directly into the woods, hatless and coatless, and barefoot; and as he was not agaim seen or heard of, they came to believe. in the course of the seven years that intervened between that time and their trial and condemnation for his murder, that he a crept away into some hole in the woods, there died of the wound im his head, of whieh they bad no means of knowing whether it was severe or not.» T. only knew that blood flowed freely from it, but that he walked away as strong as ever. Of course no indictment could be found against Colvin’s supposed mur- derers, because the strongest proof of his death, his corpse, was undiscovered; and thas the case rested for seven long years, everybody, his wife included, looking upon her children as fatherless, and upon her brothers as guilty at least of manslaughter. About that time the field where they wereat work at the time Colvin’s disappearance came into the possession of a man 4 had always believed the Bow ses guilty of murder, and, as they ssid. determined to prove them guilty; and he commenced a thorough search of the remises, and found in asort of sink-hole, part- ¥ filled with logs. and overgrown with bushes and briers, some buttons, sworn to by the widow as having belonged to the coat Colvin wore on the day he was murdered. A jack-knife which - oul that the be usually carried in the pocket of that coat was » found, and near the same spot were vered several bones which had once be- ta burexn being. Of the buttons and aife there was no doabt, not evenin the jack-k minds of the Bownes, because they knew he did wear his coat away. Of the bones being use of the mardered man there was a doubt, use men of good judgment testified they were too old, and that if Colyim’s, they would not only be sounder but more of them. Where was the remainder of the skeleton? This ques- hou was often pat, and always unanswered. And »» the two Bownes were indicted and put Upen their trial for murder. Then all these coutradictory statements made in seven years were introduced and contrasted with their as- Severations of that moment when they were en- timned with danger, and anxious to escape a ta of whieh they were not guilty, so far as of im ional murder. although fully believing vivin had died from the effects of that at- As usual im all eases admitting of doubt, there was a party in their favor which was net entirely silenced by a verdict of mu brot fray Tt in the first degree against the elder rt. who struck the blow with the hoe, as was proved that be acknowledged. together with threats made against Colvin's tife; and vertict of manslaughter or accessory to murder “gainst the other brother; under which one Was seutenced to be hung, and the other to the 5 Prison tor life But these doubts were all ‘noved when it came out after the cunviction, spd while the one sentenced to be hung was awaiting the time fixed fur his excoution, that he had confessed to the murder.

Our philanthropist was eonyinced from all that he could get out of Richard that it would not do to make any direct propositions to him upon the subject, but the more he thought upon the matter the more determined was he to act, and there was no time to lose, as only three weeks now remained to the condemned man. We forget what stratagem was used to indues the deranged man to make an unwonted jour- ney ; though we are impressed with the o; nn it was to purchase an addition to his farm, which he had long desired, that he consented to make a journey by mail stage—there were no railroads forty years ago—traveling day and night into some unknown region, wit it ex- eiling a suspicion that their ultimate deter mination was s plan concerning whieh he never would hold any conversation. In the mean time, the discussion of the inno cence or guilt of the man about to be hung had broken out afresh, as he had recanted his con- fession, and insisted that it had been obtained by false pretences, and that he was innocent, Besides, he had bad a dream, three times re- poe that Colvin was alive, and would make is appearance, though, as he said, ‘not until after he was hung.” During this state of things there w: acrowd at the public house in Manohester, discussing this topic, one evening, when the stage from the south drove up.

He ssid to Richard as he got out, ‘come, let us hurry and get supper before the stage starts."’ As Richard got out the light fell full in his face, blinding his vision, but cuabling the crowd to see him to advantage. He was startled at a sudden vociferation of the indi- vidual who had been troubled about thedream, who exclaimed, “So hefp me God, but there is Kiehard Colvin!’ Twenty other men were present to confirm the assertion, and in the next minute the whole town might have been there to add confirmation, for shout after shout pealed out upon the night air— * Colvin has come !’’ The doomed man in the cell listened to # wild commotion in ihe world outside—the world that be expected so soon to look upon for the last time—the: bells were ringing—shouts grew louder and approached the prison—and now the brass field piece gives its notes to the genera¥din He listens.
