Erecution Of ". Bem,ei.-We learn from !
correspondent, that 'William Bennett, convicted
in the supreme court of law and chancery, at the
October term, 1888, held for the county ol
Pinsylvania for murder scarcely having its
parallel in the annals of crime, was executed on
Friday the 10Th Of January. The prisoner was
conducted to the place of execution in an open
vehicle, followed by an immense crowd, but few
OF whom, be it spoken to their credit were fe-
males. On reaching the spot destined to end his
pilgrimage, the crowd was addressed in feeling
and appropriate manner, by the Rev. Charles Cal
laway, of the Methodist Church; at the conclu-
sion of which, the prisoner, in firm and audi
bic tone, made short and pathetic address. Sta
ting that he had committed crime against the
laws of his country, for which he had forfeited
his life,-that he believed in the record of the
Father and the Son; he had prayed necessarily to
his Lord and Saviour for the remission of his sins
done in this world that he believed he was
heard and pardoned-that death had no terrors for
him, and that he should die quiet and with full
hope OF glorious resurrectou; he then ascended
the scatiold and exclaiming. s.Lord Jesus re-
ceive my spirit was launched into eternity in the


4oth year of his age.-Lynchburg Iirginian.
