unusual ability vith which both the prosecution
and tho defence wero conducted?but
abovo all, the deep and general sympathy
which was felt for tho accused. M?>re thou
fourteen years ago, in February, 1844, in
Barbour County, John, a slave of Dr. Alexander

Danvillk, Oct. 22.?Execution ok a
Woman at J-tanvmxe, Pa.?The Clark
and Twiggs tragedy was to-day brought to
a conclusion by the execution of Mrs. T.

husband and Mrs. Clark.
The condemned woman passed last night
rather comfortably, sleeping with herchil- ]
drcn in her arms. She bade farewell to (
her brother and children tins morning, and j
after devotional exerciscs in her room, was ,
taken to the scaffold at a quarter past ten ,
o'clock, leanius on the arm of one of her i
spiritual advisers. I
A chapter having been road and an im- f
prcssivc prayer offered up on the scaffold, ,
.Mrs. Twiggs spoko for six or eight minutes |
protesting her innocence, d^e'aring her <
readiness to die, and ! cr tru.^t in a just .
Judge, only regretting to leave behind her ,
: two orphan children. ,
j She was much offected throughout. The
suuMimiiy 01 me scene, made more linpres- j
sive by her groans and sobs. Even after f
the cap was drawn over her face she up- .
pealed to God in the most earnest manner,
and she asserted her innocence. ^

drop fell, and after struggling for a few ]
moments the wretched woman hung life- <

Solomon's TempleMr.
Williams, the editor of the Utiea
Herald, lias readied Palestine in the course
of his Eastern wanderings. The following
is an extract from his last letter describing
the " Holy City
"There was one 'Iloly Place' in Jerusalem
I sought in vain to visit ?the site of
the Temple of Solomon. Ii is, as yon
know, ocenpicd by the principal Mosque of
the city?the Mosqne of Omar. Including
the enclosure, it occupies the whole
Southwestern portion of the city, and appears
to become one of the most imposing
edifices 1 have seen in the East. Hitherto
strangers have been permitted to visit it by
paying a modest backsheesh of from five to
fifteen dollars each : but of lat#? tlir. M/?.
hamedans have been 'growing no better
fast' in the mutter of toleration, and thi?i
year have saucily shut the door of the facred
edifico in the teeth of the whole squad
:>f 'Christian dogs.' I attempted io look
into the enclosure, but a Turkish fcntinel
jflered to make me a present of the content*
>f a very rusty musket, while nn old vagabond
who stood near suggestively drew hiij
linger across his throat, indicating by such
?uggesture that in case 1 should enter 1
should for the future be relieved of the
30 re ot'carrying a head upon my shoulders,
l'liese rascally Mohammedans have also
placed sonic sacred edifice or other over tlio
:omb of David, so that no Christian is permitted
to sec the resting place of the great
Psalmist. And 1 may here remark that
iherc is 110 sadder spectacle in all thiscurse-v
stricken land than that of Arabs, and, if
possiblo, still more degraded Turks, lording
t over the sacred city. The ground otico
pressed by the feet of Solomon, and David
1
md Christ, now echoes to the trend of Mo*
em and Janissary and the drivelling l)crrish.
"While the Jew is cowering in tflcjcurc
places, the Moslem struts with the
iir (if one who treads on thrones; while the
Christian hecs permission to kneel at fin.
tomb of His Saviour, the Turk disdainfully
proclaims himself roomrcli of nil tin surveys.
While tho-Ifoly Sepulchre' i.s nominally
in tho lands of tho Christian', Turkish
soldiers keep guard at the door, and n
Turkish Pasha keeps the key."
