The two animals Were secured to the separate ends of a chain, and this was secured in the middle by a long rope to astrong stake driven firmly into the ground. At about three o'clock the bear was Jet out of biscage. The moment the bull saw bruim he made fierce!y for him, knocked him down and trampied bim badly. Three or four bouts of his Kind occurred, each time the bull having the advantage, untii at length he thrust one of his horns into the bear’s mouth. This was too much, and by a powerful effort the bear broke his chain and tried to escape, mak- ing darectly for the spectators, who had formed. aring around the arena. There was immedi- ately a terribleconfusion.

J. A Horrible Death—The F which He Suffiered—Scenes at the Gallows—A Dying Speech. In the spring of this year there Jived in the town of Westheld, about eight miles from Elvvave'b, a colored farm taborer, named Syi- verter Q bis wite. He was ad. dees on sccount of bis quarreisome disposi tion, snd wes fiually compelled to seek a hom: imself and wii ‘n with tworooms occupied by a colored man named George Fir- me" and wife. Firmer gave up one room to Quiller, and the two families lived together ip peace trem April watil June, when a quarrel arose about the ocenpancy of one room. This quarrel continued ai vals for ® week, until Saturday, the stn of Jone, when, at six o'clock in the morning, the narrel broke o} esh, 3d it came to blow. Roth ‘men were im liquor @& the time, and Fumer, thongb an older man by 25 years, got the best of his opponent. (uiller then wemt to Firmer’s apartments, and pat some of his fi miture into the barnyard, at the same time dai ing Firmer to come ont to fight him. A broth- er-in-law of Quiller advised him to let the matter end here, a8 bioodshed would be the in- evitable result. But he heeded not this advice. apd went into the house of a Mr. Hattield, who Tesided in the neighborhood, from whom he borrowed a fowling piece. for the avowed urpose of sbooting a skunk, wDicb infested 18 garden. Firmer, who was equally wild with excite. ment and drink, came ont of the varn with a jack knife in his band, but whether it was closed or not did not appear at the trial. No sooner bad Firmer stepped into the yard than Quiller raised the gun to his head, and without @ word of warning shot his opponent through the body. Death was almost instantaneon the shot having passed through the lungs. tearing them into shreds and mutilating the heart. in September Quiller was tried and con. Victed, despite the most strenuous efforts of bis counsel. Mr Alvord, to secure a verdict for the minor crime. ‘The senience of death was pronounced by Judge Bupuy, to be carried into effect yester- da: Since the sentence was pronounced, Quiller wrs confined in one of the cells on the ground Noor of the Elizabeth jail. He was freely vis- jied by clergymen of his own race, and the Rev. Mr. Chester a white clergyman of the Presbyterian Church. THE EXECUTION. The New York Express of yesterday after- noon gives the following aeccunt of the exe- ention: At +} o'clock Mary, the wife of the culprit. called to take leave of her husband. (uiller ‘went to the end of the corridor to greet her. and the couple went together to the stove, where they sat down, and. for an hour and a half prayed and talked together. At 10 o’clock Mrs. Quiller knelt down, and, with her husband, prayed for some time, arose d quite coolly remarked, «Syl. I guess 1 had better leave.” + You had better,” said ‘S the husband, « before the crowd comes. 1 am crossin; the chilly waves of Jordan before id Jesus is on the other side waiting for me.” A kiss, a shake of the hands, and the last interview between (uiller and bis wite ‘WAS over. At a quarier-past 11 o'clock the Rev. Mr. Chester calied, and the praying wascontinuea until the niece of the couvict came to bid her uncle a last good bye. The niece, & mulatto girl, was quite firm, and looked with a curious eye ar the gailows. She talked afew miocutes to her uncle, but neither showed any signs of emotion At 12 o'clock the official charged with pinion- ing the culprit came. “We have come, Syl- Vester, to see whether you are ready,” was the remark. «Ready, sab! I am ready to go to Jesus, He flung bis coat on the tadie in the ball, and s‘epping into his cell the pinion- ing was gone through with, the prisoner as- sisting in It. At 12 o'clock 9 minutes the procession rencbed the scaffoid in the following «rder : ‘Sheriff Pearson and Chief of Police Karon. The culprit with bis spiritual advisers, Rev. Messrs. Jackson and Ohester. Pbysicians and otbers. As the prisoner turned the corner of the cor- Tider and beheld the gallows, a sinile was noticed on his lips and he looked up to it c fully scanning the outlines of the gibbet, After the culprit had been placed under the Tope, the Sheriff read the death warrant, and in reply whether he had anything to say, Qailler m: the following: DYING SPRECH. My friends! This is the fruits of s:rong drink, and you who stand by and indulge ia eed by my fate, which { have caused There are, no doubt, many among you who expect to hear a confession trom me.

Iam going home to my Father's house and to Jesus.” Rey. Mr. Jackson now offered a prayer. and was followed by Rev. Mr. Chester with the benediction, the prisoner audibly muttering the words. “Jesus, Jesus, Saviour.” At the close of the benediction the Sheriff stepped into the recess, touched the spring with his foot, and the body of Q uiller dangled in the air. noose buving slipped round, the culprit died a wretched death. He made unsuccessful efforts to raise his bands to his head, tarned round and round, the knees raising themselves almost up to the breast, while a gurgling sound was heard from beneath the black cap. These motions continued for two minutes, only to cease for about four minutes, when they were yenewed, and continued tor about a minute. Six minutes after the spring was pulled, heaving of the chest was observable, followed two minutes seer ey Another heaving of the chest, and a shrug of the left shoulder, indi- cating that death bad claimed its victim.

Rev. Mr, Williams thought it was time to take up the real business of the Convention, and he movedthat the subject of the Treas- urer’s report be dropped for the present made the order for this evening at 7 o'clock. Upon an appeal from Kev. James Nelson, who stated that a large number of members desired to leave tbe city this atternoon and could not remain until the consideration of the stbjectot finances to-night, Rev. Mr. Wil- liams withdrew his motion. The Treasurer's report was further consid- ered, Mr. Crane addressing the association thereon. He deprecated the parsimony which was =hown by some members of the i and the reluctance with which some peop! the country subscribed, because they thought the cities shonid do more. There wasa defi- ciency of over $2,000 in the treasury, which ‘would not have been the case bad the members | of weir daty, unless someth’ng was done, the treasury would become in the association be now d each one state how much be would give towards liquidating the debt of two thou- sand dollars Key.

This amount be was willing now to subscribe towards paying the aebt hanging over the association. The motion to call the roll of churches was withdrawn, and a proposition was made to take up a collection among the congregation. Mr. Tyler stated that be would be one of ten to make upa tbousand dollars. which example was followed by a number of other gentlemen, and ina very short while the whole sam was subscribed. The first thousand dollars having raised in bundred dollar shares, a delegate proposed to raise the balance (over & thousand dollars) in shares of twenty-five dollars: but, afier some time speni m a fruitless effort to raise ti amount. a motion was made and carried to lay the subject over till the night session. ‘The report of the treasury of the widows" And superannuated fund was read and aaop:- ed.

The remaining reeolutions were stricken ont. in the course of Mr. Crane's remarks, some reference was made about the meagre sub- scriptions receivea from Washington; where- upon Mr. Gulick defended the Baptists here trom any charge of stinginess, and asserted that in his experience in fourteen different States he had never met with a more liberal People than in this city, and none more willing to contribure. ‘The resolution offered by Rev. Dr. Williams ‘was called up and adopted; after which the Associaton adjourned till 7% o’clo: EVENING SESSION. The Aetociation met at 7% o'clock. Deyo- tional exercises were held, and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved. The report ot the treasurer was taken up, the Moderator explaining to the members an. those present the amount of the indebtedness. A collection was taken up, Revs. Dr. Gii- Jette, Dr. Neleon and Dr. Berg delivering ad- dresses during the financial operations by the collectors. A number of the reverend gentlemen re! their experience in the matter of church debts, &nd exhorting those wro were able to give to do s0, and they would not regret it, but would go bome happy. Mr. Crane, of Baltimore, said if the congre- gation had been Methodieis they would have collected the money long ago and gone home. Various other appeals were made to the mem- bers whilst the collections were being gathered up. The contributions were tiberal, and the amount asked for subscribed. Rev.

Mr Williams, the colored preacher, denied that it was the desire of the colored people to be put upon rocini equality with the white man. Equality would like water, seek tts own level. 1t was a mistake, too, to th white bishop. It was siso well-known fact that his color would flock to hear a white preacher, when one of their own could get no heare! The subject was further discussed by 8 bumber of members, after which the vote was taken upon the resolutions and they were adopted. ‘The report from the Committee on Colambi- College was submitted, when addresses were made by Revs Drs. Wilson, (Moderator, ) dus, of Virginia: Giljette, of Washing- top, and Judge Bouic, of Maryland. These gentlemen thought the College one of the in tutions of the day, and renewed efforts id be made to increase its prosperity. The number of students there the past year was 212, of law students, 1%; of medical students, 29; making in all 439. A considerable increase above the number entered at the same time last year 1s found in all the departments. The system of teaching at this scboo! is one of un- surpassed advantage to the scholar, both in an intellectual and moral point of view. The spenkers all expressed the hope that the evi. dences of increased popularity of Columbisn College would continue. The report was then adopted. Unfinished business was comsidered, when Mr. Crane stated that at the last session of the Ateociation he ga: ing he sheuld o1 tto the con- stitution, increasing the amount of yearly member: iP, of the church from ten dollars to twenty dollars. Owing to the present con tion of things, however, he did not think it Proper to call up the amendment, and would therefore withdraw it.
