Dr. Chadwlek'e Hanging Story.
Mr. Chadwick, who is well known as
an after dinner speaker, said that he was
reminded of a hanging scene in a new

up. His steed was covered with foam,
and he had every appearance of bearing
an important message. Springing up

of himself he would like to say a few
words.
The trembling wretch under the noose
was glad of a moment's respite, and the
horseman proceeded to tell the audience
