Turouto, July morning
Bennett expiated ou the scaffold the fa-
te' act which led to the death of the
Hon. George Browa. Re slept .quiet
last night, and this morning declined
to take any refreshments. He was
closeted with Fathers tagen ant She.
han from an early hour, and at 7:40
the Governor of the jail, Sheriff 3-aryi,.
and the heuginau came to his cell.
The ltanemau at ouce piuioued hie
arms aecl in doing so drew the straps
very tight. Beeuett said :—"You hurt
me. Is it requite for yon to draw the
straps so tight ?" "Yes," arid the
haugman. "It ei 1 be better for you."
"All right," said the pritsoner. The
strapping was then completed, and the
processioo to the gallows WAN formed
headed by two priests proving. Ben-
net preserved extraorditiary courage
and mounted the gallows seeps without
heeitation. When 'upon the platierm
he came forward to toe rube, and ad-
d reasi 111.1 the spectators, who numbered
about 95, saitiz—"Gentlemen, I am go-
ing to die, end am iunottent of the
crime. By no words that I can possibly
say, eau 1 clear myeelf, arid I can't say
rtny more thou that. I was 111000511 b,
u the act was beyond my c The
act which the Hon. George Brown
feet his de'tth was done in an excited
moment. I suppose he could not fore
see the telesequence. He thought I
was going to use the revolver alien I
drew it from my pocket, al3d grasped
at it tied emceed the net that card hk
death. Ills hand mut have gruel; the
triggertie the shot was fired sim ul tante
nusly with his catching it. I am going
to meet my Goe, and it would be it
foolish thing for me to die with a lie
00 my lips. What 1 say here yeu
may erupt as facts. 1 would rot like
to !Teak false wheu 1 arn ebont fo die.
The bittod does not tiekle 111 my Indus
that would let me do such an ant. I
am not falie at heart or it 00WELM1, L.
would have been a shameful thing to
have doue such au act, as Mr. 15COWil
did not deserve it. He was a meet
popular man through the wend and
((verve(' it, and he went to his death
through art oversight on my part. I
went to him for a very simple reason,
and net to commit a crime. I onuld
not control the event. There was
liquor in me, and the accident oconrred,
and the result was the fatal act." Ben-
net then turned hie beck to the epto
catore, aud motioning with his right
henqin whioli he held a cross,remark-
ed (pita cooley,"I am prepared to die •
all I have to say is, may God have
mercy on my soul." The ropes were
adjusted, the black cap drawu down,
and at almost the first, words of the
priest's prayer the (Aerial was given,the
bolt WW1 drawn, and at 7:48 the un
fortunate man fell heavily to the end
of the life -strangling cord. The neck
wee dislocated and death must have
been inetautaueons. After hanging
for 20 minutes the body was lowered
into the coffin, and the usual formal
corner's inquest bold, The remains
will be interred in the prison yard.
Bennett, who had a great mania for
soribbling.left, a lengthy document with
Governor Green. from which following
are extracts :—The paper opens by say-
ing : "The sands of time are con•
brutally crumbling beneath onr feet,
and we ere drawing toward that, awful
moment which merks the boundary be-
twen time and eternity. In general,
we knnw not the day, nor the hour,hnt
wheu by in an the day, the hour and the
'piece. Then the mortal otuet serioutly
reflect ou the past, the present,and the
deck mveteriea that lie before him.
It is appointed for man min to
die and tater that the Judgment. I
roust soon present. ravioli before the
Bar of that Joann:lent wliieb is jut to

hold the earth which tt one time
would have been sorry to leave, now I
800 how false ere the °benne of the
world, how pnwei ful he attraotions,liew
dreadful its alluremeets, how sweet its
honey appears, though it has the sonr-
nese ofvinegae." He then rotors to the
feet of his }meting been a Catholic in
bus yonth, and attributes his downfall
trir having neglected tbeSacraments of
the okureh, but rejoicte that he has
been dratvu bank into her bosom. Re -

(erring to the killing of Brown,he seys;
"I have no motive in eppeariug before
the Judge of the living and dead with a
lie OD my lips. It would serve no put, -
pose here and would injure me here-
after. With it full consclonsness of the
position 10 whioli I am placea, I say I
never intended to injure Ms. Brown.
He never deserved it from me, arid I
am morally inuount of the &him for
which I am doomed. I )a7° euongh
besides that totatone for to the indica
of God. I am to meet my doom, and
would offer now, if I had l• thousand
lives, in atonement for my sins." He
concludes as fellows :—"Great God, I
must nnw render tean acceunt, The
Judgment makes me fear, but Thy
infinite meroy makes me ilOpet 1 oast
myself into Thy arms andimplore par -
den. Good people, pray for me. May
God have mercy on my soot."

mut will, it is said, 'sot on the advice
of Dr. Tache, the Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, relative to the treatment
of the unfortunate inmates thereof.
Dr. Tache has given years of study to
the disease, and probably knows more
about it than any person liviog. He
holds the opinion that it is incurable
as well as hefediteety,andthere is but one
way of overcoming it. The lepers
have been permited to marry, and
thus propagate the fell disorder. This,
if we are correctly informed, will be
stopped and celibacy, in the cause of
humanity, enforced.
A Markham despatch says :—Dr. T.
D. Eckardt, one of the most promi-
nent and influential men of thie vicinity,
was called about eight o'clock on Mon.
day morning to attend a patient living
on lot No. 7. 5th concession of Mark-
ham, and while sitting in a chair en-
gaged in reading was called by the pa -
1 tient, anti was observed not to answer.
Ou examination it was found that life
was extinct. The cause of death is
supposed to be paralysis of the heart.
An accident occurred on July 14th
to Mr. Niblook, conductor on the
ballasting traia of the 0. P. R. (form-
erly of Parkhill). He was, it is report-
ed, standing on the back of the gravel
plow which was hi operation by means
of a cable festeued to the engine for
the purpose of discharging the gravel
from the train, when the fore part of
the plow caught on something, thereby
causing Mr. Nthlock to be thrown viol-
ently ieto the ditch with the plow fall-
ing npon him in such a runner as to
break his arm in two places, injuring
his spice and badly bruiting his face.
It seems somewhat providential that
he fell into the ditch, for if not, un-
doubtedly the blow would have crushed
him to death. He was at once remov-
ed to Winnipeg t ) reoeive treatment.
His wife is in Parkhill, °uteri°. Mr.
Niblock is well kuown in this vicinity,
having at different times been Dietriot
Master of the Orangemen of Biddulph
District,
Dr. Jeanie Hervey died at Guelph on
Saturday, after a long and painful ill -
nese. For some month e Dr. Harvey
lay sielt at Fort Stephenson, Dakota
Territory, and was brought to Guelph
by his brother, Mr. Edward Harvey.
Doctor Harvey was born at Niagara on
be 19th of September, 1837,and studi-
ed medicine at Dr. Rolph's °allege,
from whence he graduated 1800. Dr.
Harvey returned 'o Guelph and car-
ried on a drug, busiuess until 1863,and
then joined the American Army as
surgeon. He went through the whole
ot the civil war, and was wounded at
the battle of Look -out -Mountain. At
tbe close of the war he went teLinclon-
burg, N. C., fled while there tookoharge
of a yellow fever senad that was taut
big for Mobile. After leaving Mobile
be went to Deltita, on the Yellowstone
expedition, having charge of the sur-
geon's department, and was present
when General Custer was killed. After
the Ouster massacre, be left the service
and remained at Fort Stevensorewhere
he was taken seriously id, and from
where be was brought to Gnelph by
his brother j ast five weeks since,
The omitted accounts of European
crops are much worse than the mail ac-
counts previously received. Nutwith •
standing this much has ben the enor-
mous supplies of grain from this con-
tinent now being ori the way, and 'ar-
rivi»g in Englaud, that prices are not
at all likely to get up in a limey. Be-
yound all doubts the Transatlantic,
trope are better thau last year, se that
the demand from us will be consider-
ably reduced. The United states har-
vest is simply immense, and our being
fnvoted with a few splendid days lately
to house our fino crops, removes any
apprehension of Redone injury, smiles
were felt 10 or 12 days ago. In view
of our abundance as web as the United
States abundance, and the' probable
curtailment of foreign demand, we
need hardly expect any itm rovotneut
in prices, at least not for a few
months.
