it might cost his life Ho ordered Spencer to off his but nothing was bund in it Cupt told Spencer his plans were known and ho was then put in irons and Lieut Ganesvoort was ordered to watch and put him to death If he was found commu with any of tho suspected portion of the crew watch was but Spencer was treated kindly Tho next day Sunday measures were taken to watch Cromwell and Small former of whom stood up boldly but Small was uneasy At tho usual service on Sunday ho watched tho countenances of the assem bly but could discover nothing remark able That portion of the crow which he suspected of being leagued with Spencer gathered aloft whither tho eye of Spencer was constantly turned In the evening they were again a loft Capt Mackenzie arrested Crom well who denied bsing in league with Spencer but said Small was Cromwell was put in irons all the officers went armed and the Captain or Lieu enant was constantly on deck had occasion to punish ono named Waltham and then ha detor to lake a decided course in re gard to the mutiny Ho thought the greater part of the crew were faithful and destined to share the fato of tho He therefore addressed them Ho then refused tobacco to Spencer which tho took sorely to heart On Nov Waltham was again punished for wino on occasion he the crew together nnd addressed He thought tho officers were faithful but not all tho crew and ono of them threatened at one lime violence to Air Wales Mr Green missed hla muster as also several others nnd ho distributed the disobedient in different parts of the vessel But should a occur he feared the disaffected might take ad vantage of iij and ho foil justified in taking some more decided measures Tho first Lieutenant was of the opinion Ho then Addressed a circular to all tho other officers in which he asked their united counsel m to tho best course to bo pursued under the circumstances of tho cuso After he had written this circular but before ha had sent it on the Both of November Waltham camo forward and wished to be released which was if ho would con fess but ho refused and was reman ded He had a knife fit only for killing and his battleaxe was sharpened con trary to custom MeKinley was arrested The prisoners were now seven On the receipt of the circular the officers met and passed tho whole day in examining witnesses while the cap tain At night the nation was continued and strict watch kept all night On tho morning of the first of December tho answer of the officers was handed to him in which they declared themselves of opinion that Spencer Cromwell and Small should be put to death as it was un safo to attempt to sail to the United States with them Tho Captain was of the opin ion There were two others equally guilty as regarded intention but tho three afterward executed could alone navigate the vessel Ho directed the first to call the inferior officers on deck and armed them with cutlasses Tho three in irons were called up and he told them that they must dio He allowed thorn ten minutes cer was penitent and said Cromwell was innocent but Iho lieutenant and the other officers wore of opinion that Cromwell was Captain Mac kenzie afterward brought such proofs of Cromwells guilt before Spencer that the latter said nothing Small the announcement of his fato with composure Spencer said ut first he had nothing to say but af sent to his parents and acknowledged hu deserved his fate for this and other crimes He said it would kill his mother but Capt Mao told him it would have been worso for him and his parents if ho had in his piratical designs The captain tried to convince him hat it was belter to bo taken home Spencer then confessed that if he got on shore he should escapo that he had plans of piracy on board tho John Adams and tho Potomac More than an hour and a half had lapsed and Spencer requested that lis faco might ba covered A black the only one convenient was bound around his face and frocks over tho faces of the two others A Bible and a prayer book weie Spencer knelt down and read rom tho Bible Capt Mackenzie old him God was merciful and coin him to ask the Divine forgive icss Ho then asked Spencer to for ivo him and he replied I The captain then asked Have 1 done any thing for which you wished to kill Ho replied I might have disliked you but it was all Spencer wished to see Wales Tho was called and Spencer asked his forgiveness Wales weeping replied I forgive you Spencer then asked tho forgiveness of Small but Small drew back with horror and replied by Spencer said you must forgive mo I cannot die without your At tho solicitation of tho captain Small then forgave Spencor Small asked the captains forgiveness and said You have always treated me like a man and I regret that I have over harbored tho intention of gainst tho flag of my Tho captain then said you have a higher duty than that of your and urged him to ask forgiveness of his God which ho did give me a quick and easy The signal for the execution was the firing of a gun and running up the flag of our country and Spencer asked to be allowed to the word but his heart failed him when tho time came and ho tho captain to say the word which was done and the victims were run up Cromwell sent word to his that he died innocent Ii was tho part of this man the statement says to ap pear innocent Small the captain hud reason to was a well dis posed man but led UH ay by his appe tite for strong drink It was well that Cromwell had been a pi rate After the execution three cheers wore given to tho Hug of thn ship then all hands were piped down to dinner and after the lapse of an hour they wero called up tno bodies taken clown This presented a full clear and consistent statement of facts and was written in a and impress ive style Tho rending was finished at about ten minutes past one Mr Wales the pursers steward was then called and examined arid with appropriate services commit ted to the The remains of Spencer wero bu according to hia rank His body was laid out on deck in uniform with the exception of his sword which he had forfeited In conclusion this statement com mended the conduct of tho officers and recommended tho promotion of some of them

was naturally asked Was Iw Yos he attentive and industrious Yos Wero liis prices reasonable Tho same as others asked Was ho desirous to lo cato at homo He was Then why had hu closed his shop pat was not extended to him He waited for months but received scarce ly work enough to keep soul and body some of our citizens wero at the same timo procuring their work from other belter exe than ho was able to furnish at a lower price your said But our train of thought was disturbed by an to step into a cabinet makers warehouse Here was as fine a supply of fino furniture as decorated Hall at tho great fair Sofas bureaus chairs and a hundred etceteras wore displayed around the room And where do you find pur chasers for till these said we to tho in manufacturer Oh they go to New York and Bos ton markets To the Boston market wo exclaimed why just sed some articles from at a great bargain he sofa much like that for forty splen did chairs did not know were any like them in town until I now see you have some litre so much like them that I suppose you havo taken the pattern That sofa nnd these chairs too wore of my own ho has paid for them in addition to tho price I ask here two freights nnd

ever make a are only convenient to call upon who n a button gets off or tho elbow needs a stich He handed in an old coat to repair to one of our established tailors with a high commendation upon tho workman ship and a wonder that none of the town tailors could do as well Who made ibis coal sir the tailor as he cast his eye work A the city Oh yes he is a very good workman he served his timo with ma and has just es himself in tho city 1 however he has not paid quite the at tention to the collar I usad to require if I suppose a press ure of work has compel him to make a littlo longer stiches than 1 used to let pass However he will no doubt improve your thought we if you wish to save yourself from a chagrin that was manifested in a pat rons countenance There is no smoke from that brass founders door is open to be suro he is standing in if but his lithe Well neighbor how is business no orders from Boston for three months Dont you find town work Scarcely any it is all procured in Boston Have they any bettor facilities for doing work in tho city than In this town None we have every facility they in Boston for manufacturing and cheaper rents But still the work goes there and we are If this policy drives tho honest and industrious mechanic to tho alms houso how much bettor it will then ap pear to encourage your What a fine toned piano Only lis ten it is belter than Gilberts it must be imported Who made it It was made at an organ factory and yet while thero are more than a hundred pianos in use in town there is scarcely enough support given to the ous and ingenious manufacturers to in sure them a living What a fine and useful tune might be of the word Encourage your Hife is a new store just opened for ten days with tho fog end of some stock which city purchasers would not look at Great less than are hung out and our regular have tho mortification of their counters deserted and all the ers taken in nt the new store In ten days the stock is distributed in town

complaint Even if you pay a little more for an article it is better for the general prosperity of ths town that its own citizens should bo as it gives them the means to extend the wave till every liitle in the lake of prosperity unites and sets the whole community in motion your is real fun if one havo a pocket full of first rate handsome litile sleigh and a lively beautiful fascinating
