The Toronto Globe of Wednesdey, Feb.
tie, 1.864, contained a long account of a
terfigQtlY 1.5.11eWla at the time as The Green-
stited Tragedy,' the vietira being William
Greenwood, who was to have been axe -
cubed for murder on the very morning on
104011 his body was found hanging by a
towel from the wiaclow bees id Ids cell.
This twos before the abolition of public"
executions, and the fame of the man and
iof V,v crimes were f10 great t,hat thousands
of People Ja ocked tato the city, and an
Immense crowd had assembled to witness
the awful speotaele r;:f the ignominious
:mice -alien of alone,* creature. Au idea of
the state oI affairs may be gleaned from
the following extract from the Globe of the
date referred to There were thousands of
sitaaagers in the city, who bad arrivea the
previous night, and long before daybreak
all quiet a the city was abolished by the
rattle of farmers' waggons ceming in from
all parts of the surrounding country loaded
with men'women and children to witness
the exeoution. Ertindreds wended their
-way with the first etreak of dawn
to the old rair Field in order to soled
good positions from whieli to see the un-
fortunate man. latmehed into eternity.'
When therefore it was whispered abroad
that the critaival had cheated thogallows,
:and the people, whose worst passions bad
been aroused btbe demoralizing influeucee
-which always attend a public: execution,
realized that they were to be deprived of
the darling privilege of :seeing a 'banging,'
the excitement which prevailed throegla
out the city may be more eeeily imagined
than described. If anything cool:lel:aye
'intensified or increased that eicitereout
I t would. here been the rumor which for sometine° prevailed, befere the truth' became
kaowa, that the reason the execution wasnot
to take place in public was that the autho-
rities had received intimation that a, rescue
would be attempted by fiorneof the doomed
nean's frionde. A preposterous 'rumor
-wet abroad thatthe• man was not dead at
elle and that the body which several had
seen at the jail was one brought Speahtlly
for the purpose of exhibiting it as that of
aGreenwood. So great was the turmoil Oc-
casioned by the growing belleathatraLwas
•eaot rightthat • the corpse was ' brought
down from the jail and exhibited in front
of the city hall hi order to preventa riot.
Even then -many refused to -bo-satisfied,
and fights of greater or less magnitude oc-
carred throughout the day in different parts

?was opened. The prisoner was confined in
aeon in the building nevi known as the
'old jail.' He had beau condemned for the
..murde- of the illegitimate child.of a Woman
llaanea Agnes Marshal, with whom he had
been on terms of crinainel .intimacy, The
-proof of. his guilt was fortheoniing doing
ins trial for the murder of another woman
named Catharine Walsh and her ohila, of
-which also Greenwood was believed to have
been the father. The house -in-Villeh 'the

Weonsroex, June 18.—This morning tbe
body of Mrs. John Ross, the wife of a well-
to-do mechanic here, wits found in Thomas
Adams' cistern, and the circumstances of
the case so far as can be learned at present
• lead ;to the belief that the unfortunate
woman must have committed suicide, Last
night she remained at the bedsideof a sick
child belonging to a near neighbor until
eliout 11 o'clock, when ;she earme home and
told her Iambi:ad that she would go over
again early in the morning to see if the
child bad lived 'through the night. • She
rose at ,4 o'clook this morning,
dressed herself, and started out to
SCO the neighbor's child. At about
6 o'clock Mr. Adams' son having
occasion to look into Ids fatherai cistern
came in and told Iris mother that it was
half full of clothes. Taking the pele or
hook used for drawing water they attemptecl
to turn over what they supposed to be e
loose bundle of clothes, when the dead
woman's face came to the surface. Tha
cistern is built of brick and freestone, and
is only six feet deep, With it circular open-
ing at the top not more then twenty 'lichee
in diameter, while the water in it is less
than three feet deep. The • cover of the
cistern was found propped up with the pole
used for drawing water, and no pail,
bucket, or any other vessel was near the
spot. M. Adams' house is loa yards or
more front gr. Ross', and directly in the
opposite direction from that in which the
sick child lay. The deceased was a large

restorealie Kingdom of •lsraol at that place,

has recently been rumored that Mr. Law-

at last gained a boncossion of cootaiii Elie-

among the projects which Mr, Goebel) will
