The mist of the morning still hung
heavi'y on the mountain top, aboe the
village of RedcltfT, but the roads which
led towards it were crowded with the
varied population of "the surrounding
country Item far and near. At Ales
bury the shops were cloned, the l.a ro
uter of the blacksmith laid upon its an
vil not a wagon of any description
was to be seen in the street, and even
the bar of the tavern was lockrd, and
the key tone with its proprietor toward
the cliff, as a token of an important era
which was without a parallel in the an
nals of the place. And save here and
there a solitary head looktot through a
broken pane, m some closed up house.
with an air ol aad disappointment, or
the cries of a little nuralint was heard.
betokening that in general flight, it had
been left in unakilful hands, or mayhap
here and there a solitary, raggedtand
ill-natured dog, either seeming but hall
appeased bv the privilege of a holiday,
grantrd on condition of .laying at home,
he whole village presented a picture
of desertion and silence, that had for
ever been unknown before.
Dot in proportion as you drew near
the ponderous clifTs.in the mid t of which
the little town of Redcliff was tituated,
you mingled again in the thick bustle
and motion of the world, of men. and
women, and boys, ami horses and dogs,
and all living, moving and creeping
things, that iubabit the wild districts ol
Pennsylvania
the village was crowded to over-
flowing, lo.it before the tun had eaincd

there the oar ol the inn was crowded.
and the fumes of tobacco arid whiskey,
the iLnclinz of sin:, II ehune, and the
perpetual clamor of i tie tin one, was
sufficitMit to rack a brain of common
flexibility. In the street there was the
g. eeting of old snd long parted acquain

sembled multitude on tho scaffold,' and
ther as they said to retnra by journeys
to their sorrowful home) the convict
worn out with sickness and watching,
now slept. " J
His name was John Creel, his place
of residence said to be ia Virginia. He
had been taken up while travelling from
tlie northward to hi home, and tried
and convicted at the countj town some
miles distant, for the murder of a fel
low traveller, who had borne his com
pany from the lakes, who was sscer
tained to have a large sum of money
with him, and who was found in the
room in which he slept, at a country inn,
near Redclioe. with his throat cut.
Creel always had protested his inno
cence, declaring that the deed was per
octrated bv some one while he was a
slerp,but the circumstances were sgainst
him, and though the money was not
found on him be was sentenced to be
hunt: and wee moved to the old stone
jail at Iledciin lor security, tne county
prison being deemed unsale. This
was the day the execution wu to take
place the scaffold was already erected
the crowd p retted round the building.
snd frequent c net of "bring out tlie mur
derer," were heard.
The sun at last told the hour of elev
en, and thort could be no more delay
the convict's cell was entered by the
officers in attendance, who roused btin
with the information that all wat ready
without, and bid him hasten to his exe
cution they laid hands upon him and
pinioned him tight, while he looked up
toward heaven in astonisnment, as one
new Nrn. only said, the "dream the
dream' MAnd what of the dream.
Mr. J.ion?" said the. sheriff. -You
would do me a treat kindness if you
would dream yourself and me out ol this
cursed scrape " "1 dreamed," replied
the convict, "that while you read the
death warrant to me on the scaffold, a
man came through the crowd, and stood
before us in a grej'dress wjth a white
nat anil wmsnert, anu ma. u
(ered over him. and sung distinctly
this is Lewi, the murderer of the trav
eller.
The officers and Jailor held a short
consultation, which endd in a deter
mination to look sharp after the man in
grey, with the white hat accompanied
with many hints of resignation of the
prisoner, and Uieposaibilitr of his inno
cence being asserted by a supernatural
agency the prison doors were cleared,
and Creel, pale and feeble, with a bymn
book in his hand, and a mein of all
meekness and humility was seen tot
terinafrom the prison to the scaffold.
He had no sooner ascended it, than his.
eyes begau to wander over the vast con
course of people arounckhiin with a scru
tiny that seemed like faith in drrms
and while the sheriff read the warrant.
the convict's anxiety appeared to in
crease he looked and looked again,
then raised, liis hands and eyes a mo

resumed hia first position, the very per

of . the ladder! The prisoner's eye
caught the sight, and flaahed with fire
while lie called out, "there is Lewis the
murderer of the traveller," aqd the
iailontt the same moment seized the
ttrareer by the collar. At first he at-
tempted to escape, but being secured.
and taken before the magistrates, he
confessed the deed, detailed all the par
ticulars, delivered up part of the mon
ey, informed where another part was
hidden, and was fully committed for
trial while Creel was turned loose,
and hastened like a man out of his ten
ses, from the scaffold.' " .

Called out by allusions to tricks re
sorted to in Massachuaetts, the editor
ot-4he-lYr8taTttters6me atnus-
injg reminiscences respecting the period
ol hi puhlic services as Sheriff:
When Sheriff of this city, the limits
were only one hundred and fifty aires.
Houses on the limits commanded a
higher rent for. "t bote who could pay,
and for those who could uot psy their
sufferings were intolerable. To me
chanics it was pecolisrly distressing.
and the whole system worked bad for
debtor and creditor. - Lnticing persons
off the limits, confined .for heavy sums
and with good bail wat an organized
avttem. s Watchers were sneciallr em
ployed, and large sum promised if .

and ever the lines, or could decoy him
in any manner Irom the bound". I
have know women- engaged to stop a
debtor and interett him in her story by
a modest address, a tale ,of woe, and
lead step by step; until unconsciously
he had patted the fatal boundary in
sight of the acovt wha lodged IntWina
lion against him. Again, all the arts
of beauty and fascination were employ
ed and bountifully paid for to lure the
debtor beyond the line and thus entrap
him. tiitls have pretended to fall in
fits on oue side ef the pavement that
the unfortunate debtor's humanity might
be aroused, and he cross from the oih
er side to aid them. In short the abu
ses were so numerous, and the ben. fit
so doubtful, by this 150 acre limit sys
tern, Hut Iwent-jto-work to make thit
manifest to the 'Legislature, and they
made the whole city the limits.
Under the new system many amusing
things occurred. The ex-Shsriff was
accustomed never to look up a debtor
"if he could procure any animal in the
shape ef bail." One man used to to
ball for all his countrymen, among the
Sheriffs "particular and valued politi
cal friends the Irish." " . ; -j '
"They had a Coanaught man amongst

geateel fellow, fall of fun and Impa

the office with the air of an Alderman.
"I come to bail Terrenes O'Flvnn,
sir, What is the amount?" (July

would pull out the gold watch, which,
he would lotik at ln enough for all
the drputira in the office to tee the ar

out of old IIv snuffbox, sign the

But the last of the Star stories is the
bt-st:
