HILLsz0n0vGH, Orange Roasey, N.C. Aprit 1,'1870. ‘TWO More condemned felons have expiaced a ter- rivle crime on the hangman's scatfold, and have Awinlly verified the truth of the Soripturai injunc- tion, “Vengeance is mine, and J will repay, saith the Lord.” If not swiftly, retribution follows surely the criminal who is guilty of shetdiugz the bieod ofa fellow man, and thongh months, some- times years, may elapse, justice invariably overtakes the munlerer aud the scaffold Ciaims its viciim, There are few if any in the blackened list of mur- @ors where such cooluess and de tberation of pur- pose were evinced, or wherejsuch a barbarous reflne- ment of crucity and atrocity was practised, as in the Marder of Martin V.

A terrible tate was, however, iy store for him that Christmas night, or rather Sab. bath morn.

THR CULPRITS ON THE SCAFFOLD. Abont haif-past one o'clock 2. M. the condemned Were conducted fram their dungeon, with ropes and Diack capa attached to their necka, Young walked firmiy down the fight of steps, but Guun. who was exceedingly feeble, had to be assisted by two negro attendants. Tuey both ascended the scaffold and took seats in chairs, whea @ very impressive prayer Was made by & clergyman, boul the condemned men joing with him, ‘i'his being ended, a series of ‘cross-exaiminations as to the murder was commenced by parties around the trapdoor, Young, whose eyes. were halt closed seeaicd tobe engaged ta prayer, and Judging from the evasive repiies he made to questions: propounded, his mind was evidentiy wandering.

This ceremony concluded, the ropes were attached to ihe rings in the cetling above. The legs of botn were pinioned at the ankles, and black caps were put over the forehead, obscaring vision to all carthly things. Atiive minutes past two the droo tell and the mur- derers were straggling viwlently in the air.

KEY WEST. A Retgn of Terror—Attempted Assassinations A Man Stabbed and Then Thrown OF 2 Wharf=Tho Doath of Castauon to bo Avenged. Kry West, March 24, 1! The savage malignity of the Spanish volunteers seems not to have abated one jota since the Killing or Castaiion; and what was at first considered an unfounded rumor of a certam number of Spanish Volapteers delegated to come to Key West to avengo the death of Castafion-now proves to be @ painful reality.

A NOVEL LAWSUIT. A Man Rescued from Drowning et the Jere sey City Berry Diings a Suit for $15,000 Dautagess On the evening of the 8d of January last, about two munutes past sovpn o'clock, when the ferry boat had moved away from the bridge at tho Cortlandt girect ferry, @ man named Lyons, residing in Washington street, New York, deliberately walked overboard from the bridge fd would nave been drowned had not the bridge-tender, Thomas Tobia, and another of the employes rescued him, He was very thankful tothe men for saviag nis Uife, but when he returned home and ruminated on the matter for a fow weeks a bright thought struck Lim.
