It '' t A Singular Oust, ij The case of JV.s Sammons, of Ohio, c| tvJipsq execution has recently been fixed, it is a singular one. Ten years ago. five til persons'' were prisoned in the family of U which. Summons was a member including *t botH’His parents. James was committed -t on entirely circumstantial cvidenc given »i by a servant girl. On appeal a new trial was ordered, and Summons was released, ie4 visiting the wateiing places, ifcc. So sure of SQguittrVl was he, that he stood his trial. »»• The servant girl in the meanwhile died, 5 it and the notes of her evidence offered and tiii admitted, he was convicted theron, and itte sentenced to be hung. He appealed a iitl second time upon the ground that the ttn- Constitution guaranteed to every person go! charged'wTth crimc, the privilege of connnt fronting bis witnesses. The Supreme :v#"Court 'stood fora long time two for the two against it, and one judge revtki fusing to give an opinion Finally the Mi Court decided the testimony admissible, oiv and have ordered the prisoner’s execution. tkiSo confident was Summons of a decision JMtin bis favor, that though he has had roll peated opportunities of escape, he has to .embrace them. \Vhile still a prisoner, he acted as sort of deputy jailor, IWand was allowed great freedom and many 'it ((privileges. He has often been permitted Ittio-go out of jail alone, to visit theatres mo and places of amusement, and has always returned to his prison. The day of execution is fixed for April 14th, and Executive clemency can alone prevent it. svifc • -rz~ —— •! i V «...

The laud.ighest rates of mortality are found in l,t ( f.lie class of mkeepers and licensed victuaanftars —not a bad argument for the teetota‘rribt lrs — though their exposure from frein(],uet infecourse with large numbers of y Mi’eople should not be left out of account. loubi- I*’ "7, , 117 T v A 'Viuowkk, in Canicetu, M.
