Deda suffered tho extreme penalty of the Jaw by, hanging, near vtn?8 place,' at so von teen, minutes past. 2 o'clock p. m. i on May" lati -having been a seoondtime convicted of the murder of Laura Foster, of Willies Oounty, more _ thah? a y^ar ??0. Under the gallows, he made n Tong address to several thousand persons, who were present to witness his execution, in a general way, and avowed, bis prepa? ration to appear in another world On tho night previous to the execu? tion, he made confession of his guilt, wbioh we copy from his own band: "Statement of Thomas C. D.ula: I declaro that I am the.. o n ly person that bad any hand in the murder of Laura Foster. April 30, 1868. " Dula was twice convicted, entirely upon circumstantial evidence,, aud bad all along avowed' his innocence of the crime, until the night of his confession, as above stated. His confession will relieve the. minds of thc juries that' found him guilty, and a satisfaction for the public to know that an innocent man has not suffered death. . Ann Melton, charged as.au accom? plice to this murder, is still in prison, at Wilkesboro,' and will have ber trial at the next term of Wilkes Supe? rior Court, to which her trial waa again removed. The tragedy bas been involved in great mystery, and there is a popular and strong blief that,.notwithstand? ing Dula's confession, ho did have ono or two accomplices. [Statesvilie (JST. G.) American. A BASCAI?LY- AD VKNTUKJSB,-Many of our ladies will remember being called upon at their residences, last fall, by a, "lady" agent'going around and selling ladies' "corsets and fit? ting them at a, remarkably, low price. Recently, in an interior town in this State, the very same woman, by tho cheapness of her stock and a decided and' unwarranted partiality shown a beautiful lady customer, arou sed sus? picion, and on the "lady" being ar: rested, she was found to be ? young1 man in disguise-fitting aud selling just for the fun of tho thing. He says he passed through Easton, Allentown, Beading, Pottsville and many other towns, fitting corsets to several thousand young ladies. [Allentown (Pa.) Democrat. DEATH FUOM A BITE.-On thc 18th ult., Robert E. Lucas and Thomas H Duyer, became engaged in a fight at a restaurant in Centre vile, Md., and "during the fracas, Lucas got Doyen's right little finger in his mouth and bit it slightly. No at? tention was paid to it, but ou the next day it was badly swollen, and in a few days the inflammation extended np the entire arm. On Sunday, Dujer was taken to Chestertowu by his brother, and bia finger was am? putated on Monday, but mortification ? of the entire arm subsequently en? dued, and we understand he died on Thursday. - Centreville Citizen.

An invention bai recently been made, however, which, while conforming to the law, is apavtiul aid as a means of defence against nighL robbers.
