Da vis and Henry F. Andrews, white, and Lewis Carl ton, colored, were hung' here to-day, according to sen tence. At half past 12 o'clock the criminals, ^eate,d in a vehicle and 'jauarded by' the Orange Guards, in ~ft.li force, left the jail and wero con ducted to the gallows, located on the commons in the west end of the town. There was a crowd of at least ten thousand person present. At ten minuteB past one the criminals as cended the scaffold, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Wheeler, and' also, by a sister of Andrews, who sat by his Bide till the black cap was drawn orer bis face. T,he liris?nera were all composed. .Each made a state ment, both verbally and in writing, denying the crime charged to them. All professed deep penitence. After their statement, the Rev. Mr. Dixon followed in a .few Very elo quent remarks, interrupted, however, by the crashing of thunder and the noise of the heavy rain which prevail ed through nearly the whole scene. Then Mr. Wheeler offered up a fer vent prayer, and a liymn was sung,1 in which Carlton joined heartily, the others not singing. Farewells were permitted and very many were passed through the lines for a last hand shake. At fifteen minutes past two the drop fell, Andrews swinging clear, but the ropes of the other two were too long and their feet touched the ground, so they had to be lifted until the ropes were shortened. No neck was broken, and they died by strangulation. In twelve minutes Andrews was pro nounced dead, Carlton in fourteen minutes, and Davis in fifteen minutes. Their bodies were delivered to their friends and taken home fcr interment. nisTony of the case. The crime for which these men suf ferd the extreme penalty of the law, . was committed in July of last year. For several months previous, the vil lage and vicinity of Chapel Hill had been kept in a state of terror by at tempts at burglary, and worse still, by evident attempts at the violation of respectable females. Rooms had been entered at night and females seized, but alarm was given before the atrocious purpose was consum mated. But the terror was extreme, for no one felt safe; for no one could ?x suspicion upon any guilty party. Some time during the month of July, as before mentioned, the house of Mrs. Hendon, a highly respectable widow'lady, living in the eastern part of the village, with her two daughters, was entered, soon after midnight, with a view of robbery. Mrr. II. had, a few days previous, received by ex press a package of money from Ala bama, where most of her property is invested. Doubtless it was a well known circumstance : and hence the I . : determination to gain possession of it. pne or more of the burglars', af ter making an entry of"the jiouse, pro ceeded to Mrs. H.'s room. She was awake, and when they entered the room, she rushed to the wincj?w to endeavor to give an alarm. To si lence her she was struck on die head with an axe and severely cut and" otherwise injured. One of her daugh ters and a servant gave the alarm. t)r. Mallet, who lives nearly opposite, promptly responded, and the miscre ants fled. Mrs. Hendon was found, bleeding and senseless, upon the floor. Most active efforts were at once put on foot to ferret out the crime. Two young negro men, living on the premises, were arrested, but dis charged, as there was not sufficient evidence to detain them; and for some time the diabolical crime was wrapped in mystery, the excited peo ple, meanwhile, being lashed almost to frenzy. At length, one night ear ly in August, tho house of Rev. G. W. Purefoy, living a mile from the village, was entered with tho purpose ? to rob; but the purpose was frustra ted, but not before a glimpse of one of the parties was caught, sufficient to identify him, and next day, Albeit Atwater, a young negro man, was ar rested, charged with the crime. Upon his examination, finding the proof conclusive against him, it appears that he made a proposition that if his life was secured to him, as State's evidence, he could unfold much of tho mystery which had enveloped tho long scries of hidden crime. Upon this assurance he told of the Hendou outrage and implicated H. Alphouso Davis and Henry Andrews, two young white men of respootablo pa rentage and connection, and Lewis Carlton, a colored man about thirty years of age, as his accomplices. They were all arrested and examined before a magistrate, and the evidence was deemed sufficient to justify their committal without bail to Orange County jail. They had .their trial before Judge Kcrr at the faH term of the court, the trial consuming four days of the term. They were well defended, aud as ably prosecuted, and on Saturday even ing of the court the jury took the case, and in a very few minutes rcturnod with a verdict of guilty, as charged in the bill of indictment. Mr. C. E. Parrish, of counsel for defence, mov ed in arrest of judgment, that after the jury had retired, it had come to his knowledge that ouo of the jury was an infidel. Tho judge overruled the motion, whereupon an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The case was heard in January, the ,judg ment of the court .below was affirmed, and at the spring term of Orange Su perior Court they were sentenced to be (hanged on the 2d day of May. A respite was subsequently granted un til yesterday, when they suffered the penalty of a violated law, as above set forth.?Charlotte Observer. Driven Mad ,'oy His Wife's Infideliry. A terrible tragedy is reported from New York, as the outgrowth of a wife's affections being alienated from her husband, causing frequent quar rells between the couple.'nnd finally the murder of one of their children and the death of the father by by his own crazy act. For a year or two past a Frenchman named Deffarge, who had a fair business as a druggist, has been jealous of the attentions his wife received from other men, and frequently expostulated with her, but in vain. Recently their relations have been so unpleasant that he concluded to take bis abode apart, leaving their two children with the mother. On the day of the crime he visited his former home, appearing quite cheer ful, and there was nothing unusual about his manner. He asked the ser vant to go up-stairs and bring down the little girl, and she complied. He sealed himself in a chair and received the child in a most affectionate man ner, fondling and kissing her. He told the servant to return up stairs and bring down his little boy. She dressed the child and brought him down, when he was received by the father with marks of affection. Once again Deffarge requested the servant to go up-stairs this time to tell his wife that be wanted very much to see her. His wife was in bed, and said she did not want to get up then, and, moreover, would not see him anyway. After about fifteen minutes the servant returned down stairs with this message, aud was horrified to find the father and his two chil dren stretched out on the floor of the kitchen, the children in convulsions and foaming at the mouth and Def farge dead. One of tho children was saved by means of an emetic, but the other little innocent died in great agony. Cotton. Says a correspondent of the Rich mond State: Tho South has just marketed the largest and cheapest cotton crop ever made in that sec tion, and just as Western grain is driving every other grain out of the markets of the wottid, so will South ern cotton drive every other kind of cotton in time out of the same market, and in a little while longer we shall hear of Southern beet root sugar and in a little while longer of Southern wine shutting out from tho American markets all other kinds of sugar and wine. It is a mere question, all this, of hands to till the soil of that favor ed region and of skill to turn its bounties to acconnt. New York's "Business Men's So ciety for tho Encouragement of Mod eration," proposes tho following four pledges to its members, any or all of which they may take: First, to re form all intoxicating drinks for twclvo months ; second, not to drink during businoss hours ; third, not to ask any other person to drink, or, in other words, not to "treat;" and fourth, not to drink anything stronger than wine or beer. A Mysterious Spring. In the summer of 1838 tho Third United States Artillery, coniunmded by Colonel Gates, was encamped at the foot of tho Missionary Ridge, on gaged in the removal of tho Cherokee Indians. One day the colonel order ed out a fatigue party to clean.the spring, a l^cautiful fountain at the foot of ,tbe Ridge. Shortly after, the sergeant reported to the headquarters that his men were all drunk. Says the Colonel: "You shou'd not have let the men drink whiskey." "I did not," replied the sergoant' "they drank nothing but the water from the spring." Tho sergeant and the men were ordered into tho guard-house a new detail sent' out, a lieutenant placed in command with orders to not let the men have access to any spirits. Not long after, the lieuten ant reported the men all drunk. The men were ordered to tho guard-house and the lieutenant under arrest. An other party was ordered out, of which Colonel Gates himself took command. He took a seat on a slump so he could overlook the whole ground, de termined there should be no getting drunk this time. But behold in a short time his men were all drunk. Ho was certain thoy had drank noth ing but water which they frequently did, getting down on their knees and driuking from the branch just below the spring. Tho Colonel was at his wit's end. The men were ordered to the guard house, and he repaired to his tent to think. After weighing the matter pro and con he had. to give it up, and repairing to the guard house he told tho men if they would show him how it wob done he would re lease them, otherwise he would punish them severely. To this they agreed and taking him to tho spring, just below the spring in the branch they unearth ed a'five gallon jug partly Dlled with whiskey. Tho mouth of which was stopped with a cork, in which was in serted a quill that reached to the bot tom. jy*ben buried in the sand the top of tho quill was just above the sjurfaco of the water, and when they wanted to drink they stooped down, inserted the quill in their mouths and while apparently drinking pure wa.er were drinking pure whiskey, and the Colonel sitting on the stump in plain view none the wiser for it. Ingenious Teaoher. A Massachusetts teacher writes de scribing an experiment in the school room which seems to be successful. Instead of facing hia pupils bp. has his desk behind them, and thus over looks them to great advantage. The. naughty little ones not knowing when his eye is on tbem? dare not whisper and play. ""They have," he says, "so frequently come to grief in at tempting to calculate chances, that they have concluded to make a virtue of necessity, and give up play in the school-room as unprofitable, costing more than it comes to." Another decided advantage of this system is that it completely isolates classes re citing from tho rest of the school; the the recitation benches being in front of the teacher's desk, between him and the school, and the backs of the pupils toward each other, communi cation by look or signs is out of tho question. Tho only special rule made is that pupil3 shall not look around. Next. Miss Bass, of Lebanon, has a tur key gobbler just a little ahead of any thing in the turkey lino in history or tradition. Last week tho turkey was a gobler in all the pride of his gobbler hood ; now he is a turkey hen, and as a proof his change of sex laid three eggs on the day succeeding this mon strous metamorphorsis. This talc will seem almost' incredible, but the owner has the eggs to show for them selves. How can such an unheard of, change bo accounted for? What do the scienisls say? And what's to be come of us when turkey gobblers turn against their own sex in this way and settle dowu into laying hens? Qb, it is n\vfu!.? Abbeville Medium. It is the Boston Transcript which tells this story of a moon-eyed leper : It was sug gested to a "heathen Chin ese", the other day that the papers said that there was an opening for his race in tho South.

Tho Chicago Tribune says : Rid dle's suicide is simply the last of a list which begins with the foundation of the government. His is similar, ,in .sqrne respects, to that of James Blair, a Representative from South Carolina, in the Twentyrflrst, Twen ty-second and Twonty,yi|rd Congress es. During the.first .session of \ha Twenty-third .Congress, ,BJnir amend ed the Washington Theatre qpe.night, and, boing displeased with the actors^ fired a loaded pistol at them, (p,r which he was arrested and fined $5. Physicians lostificd that ho was under tho influence of brandy and opium, tnken to alleviate pain from chronic rheumatism. Three weeks afterward, April 1, 1834, he blew out bis brains with a pistol at his boarding house, on Capital Hill. Similar in many points of the case, was that of Felix G. McConuell, a Representative from Alabama, in tho Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth Congresses, who committed suicide in a fit of delirium, in the St. .Cbarles Hotel, Washington, by stabbing him self in the abdomen and then cutting his throat, September 0,0, 1846. Elijah Ilisc, a Representative ,in the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Con gresses, committed 6uicido at Russoll ville, May 8, 187G. Hiso was the Democratic candidate for Lieutcnant Governor of Kentucky in 1836, but was defeated ; was Charge .d'Affaires at Guatemala from March 81, 1848, to June 30, 1849 ; was Presidential Elector on the Buchanan and Breck enridge ticket in 1856, and served in Congress from December 3^ 1866, to March 3, 1869. John Whi'.e is to i>e added to the list. He was born in 1805 ; received an academic education ; studied law ; was admitted to the bar, and prac ticed at Richmond, Ky.; was elected a Representative from Kentucky in the Twenty-fourth Congress, as a Whig, without opposition.!, ?nd wa9 successfully re-elected to the Twenty* fifth, Twenty-sixth, Twentyrseventh and Twenty-eighth Congresses with out opposition, serving from Decem ber 7, 1835, to March 3, 1845 ; was Speaker of tho House during the Twenty-seventh Congress ; was Judge of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Kentucky ; committed suicide at Rich mond, Kentucky, September 22, 1845. James G. Wilson, United States Cnn*\tor fron? J^Tc^v ?Jerseyj iVo*.ii I*Ct cembcr 4, 1815, to 1821, was severe ly injured in 1832, by imagining in a fit of delirium that his house was on fire and throwing himself from a second-story window. He had been editor of the True American ; clerk for many years of the State House of Representatives; was appointed by President Monroe postmaster .at Trenton, and at tfio tjmo pf his fit .of delirium was a member of the State House. William Ramsey, of Pennsylvania, is another Congressman who died by his own hand. Born in 1810 lie was uttached to the American Legation at London, under M/mp^cr Steven son ; was elected a Represpntative from Pennsylvania in the "Twenty sixth Congress as a Van Buren pem ocrat, serving from December 2, 1839, to October 7, 1840, and re elected to tho Twenty-seventh Con gress. A few weeks after ho com mitted suicide at Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, by shooting himself in tho right eye. John Ewing, of Indiana, was found dead in his room at Vinccnnes, Indi ana, in December, 1857. Ho had been Representative iu tbe Twenty third end Twenty-fifth Congresses, serving until 1839, and had served in tho State Senate. On his tablo was found the following epitaph, appa rently just written by himself: "Here lies a man who loved his friends, ills God, his country and Yiucenucs.*' A mournful and tragic suicide was that of Alfred P. White, of Ohio. White had been a. member, of the Twenty-eighth Congress, and State Treasurer, appointed to. fill n vacan cy canned by tho removal of Treasu, rer Gibbs, for fraud. In 1862, he was appointed by Secretary Chase, I Collector Internal Revenue for the Columbus district, was subsequently detected in contraband cotton'specu lations, was found to bo a defaulter, and committed suicido by taking poi son on tho grave of his two children, at Columbus, Ohio, August 1, 1865. James Henry Lane, twico United States Senator from Kansas, serving up to 1SGG, committed suicide by shooting bimself near Fort Leaven worth, at the end of his term of office. James S. Johnson,, .Representative from Kentucky in tljo Thirty-first Congress, committed suicide, while suffering under mental depression caused by ill-health, at Owensboro, Ky., Feb. 12, 1873. Jho Seven Wise,M^n. Most people have heard of the "Seven Wise Men of Greece," but veiy few know who they were or how they came to be.called so. Here is the st.pry, and t|je .moral of it is worth remembering, if their names are not; the seven wise men of Greece are supposed to have lived in tho fifth century before Qhijint. ?bqjr names are Fittacus, Bias, Solon, Thaies, Chilon, Cleobulus nnd Per iander. The reason of their being called wise is given differently by various writers ; but the most approv ed accounts slate that as some Coans were fiobing, certain strangers from Melitus bought whatever should bo in the nets without seeing it. When the nets were brought in they were found to contain n golden .tripod' which Helen, as sb,e sailed from Troy is supposed to have .thrown there. A dispute arose among the fishermen and the strangers as to whom it be longed, and, as th.ey.qpu.ld not agree, ,tUey .t,pok.it to Vhu temple of Appolo and consulted the priestess as to what should be done with it. She said it must be given to the wisest man in Greece, and it was accordingly sent to Bias, he declared that Thales was wiser, and sent it to him; Thales sent it to another one, and so on, un til it had passed through the hands of all the men, distinguished after wards as tho 'Seven Wise Men," nnd as each one claimed that the other was wiser than he, it was final ly sent to the temple of Appolo, where it Jang remained to teach the lesson that the wisest are the most distrustful of their wisdom. Whipping Post. While editors and correspondents are wasting words in discussing the question of the expediency of bring ing back the whipping post for the benefit of law-breakers, a Justice of Aiken County lias solved it by prac tical work. Wfien offenders under twenty-one years of age are up be fore him for stealing, he investigates t,he case in the presence of the rogues' .parents, and if guilty explains the law and punishment to them and gives them tji? .cln^ce of the law or the privileges of giving the son tbJr ty-nine lashes in the usual legal way, or the way that was usual in days past. The parents almost invariably choose the latter mode of settlement and thrash the young scamp soundly. The result of this method, is that whereas formerly this class of male factors monopolized tho Courts, now one is seldom arraigned, and petty stealing has almost entirely ceased jn lb**1 town nnd yicinity.?Aijceu Courier-Journal.

A Book Agent Explains. After Mr. Moody's meeting at,the Maryland Institute, Baltimore, *a brief inquiry class was held, and many persons who remained were in structed in tbe great truths of relig- . ion. Among those present were sev eral young men whose object was other than that of seeking salvation, in fact, they waited for tho ball to be cleared that they might lay the track ,fqr the telegraph boys' walking con test. This, however, was not known to the gentle Christian helpers, and one of them, a young lady decidedly prepossessing, approaching a group of tbe degenerate worldlings, singled out one of their number and asked him if he was a Christian. ??Well," said he, "I don't know that I ami" The young lady was a trifle shock ed, but layip;.a .dainty hand upon the coat-sleeve qf the.unregenerated, she looked him in the face, and, smil\ug .beayep like, enquired in a j sweet .voice if >ne wpuld not like to become one. He, of tho world world ly, hesitated a moment and replied : "It wouldn't do miss ; for me to be come a Christian would b,e ruin to my busiues:" The angel ihelper was surprised, and asked him .Wihat business was his, so inconsistent with religion. ??I'm a book agent, and if I were to .become a Christian I should be like Othello, my occupation would be gone.

Since he purchased the animal, the latter has shown a v^oal vicious temper, and is unsafe and dangerous to mauage.
