On Friday afternoon of last week, a short time aft-r three o'clock, Robert Osy, a member of Company D,7ht Ind. Volunteers, was executed by shooting at Indianapolis, for desertion nd tikin? the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy, (so called.) The written oath wa found sewed up in hi clothes on his arrest after returning home He also confessed hie guilt and the justice of the sentence. He said he took the oath to avoid b. ing exchanged, as he did not feel able for the service. lie wished to return home and stay there. It appears he was a man of intelligence, somewhat above the common level, having for sm time, been engaged in school teaching in Clay county. He was from Ohio, but nothing is known of hii family or of nis early life. He vtm attended "with commendable zeal" in his confinement by the Chaplain of hia Ks siment, and also by Rev. Mr.

Day of the Baptist church. Weather of this kind, out of Their lessons are believed to have .pUcv, or time rather, beside brproduced a marked effect upon in? (n an extrÄ jree disagreea-

his feelings, as he frequently spoke to his fellow prisoners of their way of life, and the necessity for reformation. He spoke frequently to visitors and the officers of the jail on religious subject, and jxpressed hopes of his own salvation. His conduct on the way to the place of execution and after his arrival there, was so exceedingly calm, cool and even indifferent, as to excite general admiration. When the preparations were all complete the prioner was informed that he would be heard if he had anything to ay for him self. With a perfectly calm, steadr voice, he snoke as follows : 'Fellow Soldiers: I am about to die for th? crime of desertion. 1 have done wrong. I know I have done wron?. Dut I did it unthoughtedly. I can call God to witness, before whom I n:u?t appear in a few minutes, that I did not mean to con mit a crime. If a man ever telUthe tmth it i when he is about to die, and I tell the truth when I sav that I meant no wrong. hen I took the oath of allegiance I intended only to get home 0 that I might stay, for 1 did not feel able tor service- My health was bad. It has alwav s been poor. 1 am in better health to day than I have ever been in my life. I meant to stay at home, and not to join the enemy. 1 never intended to desert my country. But what I did was wrong, and I confes it. I never realized the fate that awaited me till my sentence was read to me. Then Melt that I had to die. I cannnt tell you how I have striven with the spirit in the time since that eiitence was read to me. I feci thit I am bout to die a inner. Take warning by me and prepare for death while there is yet time. Labor to obtain that religion which is more precious than anything on earth. Try to reconcile ourselves to God. and live as your duty requires. I suppose xny death if uttiizd aj 6a eitra-

pie. If it will serve mv country, and warn you, I will die cheerfully. I forgive all my enemies, and everybody on earth. I have no malice agiirst any living be. ing. I forgive Ihose who are to fire at me. There are those who thirst for my blood, but I forgive them, too. To you who will fire at me I would pay, take your aim w-ll. Fire at the I rst, (laying his hand with rap in it on hi heart), that is the nlare. Hold

The weather for the month past has been exceedingly unpleasant. At the very opening of the month of Mnr"h, when we uually congratulate ounelvea that the hard weather of the winter is past, and that r gradual 14 toning down." with occasional "nqualfo," will introduce us lo the bland air? and "April showers' of the spring time, the weather set in colder and more disagreeable than the 1 month preceding, or any other month, perhap. of the winter, and has held its own. So true is this that the very lat day, on which this i penned, is one of the most unpleasant, if not coldeat, days of the whole seaon. -Snow, blowing and freezing h constituted the order of the day. hie, ha the reputation of peculiar unwholesoTienet.

been marked by an unusual amount of sickness for that month. In our vicinity, bronchitis and pneumonia have been the principal prevailing diseases. The writer eaw in this town three cases of diptheria, well marked, but mild, and all recovered in a few day with very little, if any, help from medication. Case of bronchiti, just icvere enough to ren der the subject very uncomfortable, but not to confine him to his bed or room, have been quite numerou. Cases of real inflarn mation of the lungs from cold, or what is generally termed "lung fever," have been less frequent or numerous, and what have occurred have been mostly among children. Some of these, and especially incases succeeding measle, have been quite grave in their character; but recovery has been the rule. The measles and mumps are, it eemi, about 'played out," as no new cases have been reported for some time. The hoopingcough, though skirmishing around a little in some localities, has not become general in any, and it need not be regretted if it does not till the weather becomes settled and warmer. Upon the whole of the business we think it may be stated that the health of our community is tolerable, at the present certainly no epidemic i prevalent, to speak strictly; and yet it mvm be allowed that there is a rather de cided tendency to lung complaints, and undue exposure, especially in the case of those who have gone through the measles wit! in the last few months, will ita-d ft charxs tp V' Uov-

ed by unpleasant conseque.ices. In the cafe of such of those amust go to work in the open air, special caution should be takn to protect the feet and chest, and to. avoid drafts of air in a perspiring or exhausted slite, of "cool-

ing off" too rapidly, or without sufficient protection by clothing. Almost evcrv one. is in danger ol ! being thoughtless in this regard. and from this kind of thoughtless-nf-iness renult many tttc-s of seri ous, if not fitil diseae.
