Bit-XI/TR/24 AT LINCOLN.
On Monday Peter Blanchard, tanner, was executed at
Lincoln, for the murder of 1,011813 Hodgson, his sweet.
hetrt, in a fit of jealously. The prisoner stated that
he had no wish to live; but hoped to meet his "dear
Lewis" in heaven. He walked unsupported to the
gallows, shook hands with the officials, and the last words
he was heard to utter —"Good bye, my dear fellows : I am
quite resigned, and hope to imeet you in heaven." He
died almost :thout a struggle.

FOR DECENCY'S SAKE.
The lirteca.ile Chronicle says at the Petty Session: at
MorPoth. Annie Divene, lately a servant with irmes
Patterson, of Todburn. was summoned for ha % ing unlaw-
fully left his service without cause or lawful excuse. The
defendant said she used to Ile in a loft, but a lad was
engaged and put into her room, and her I ed was put into
the master's room, at the foot of his bed, and she felt
shame to undress herself before him. That was the
reason she left, The Bench set aside the contract the
girl to forfeit her wages (F.l 10e.) and the master to pay the
expense of the suinmonses. If they had not thought that
Mr. Patterson had not given decent and proper accom-
modation for the girl, they should have made her pay
more than that, but they thought the accommodation
neither decent nor correct,

GLASS FOR BUILDING INSTEAD- OF IRON.
Everybody has by this time heard of Mr. de Is Pasties
of annealing glasa. He has succeeded in bringing
process of

and builders are now beginnging to think about turning it
to pratical account When it is said that annealed glees,
while retaining *Ls siltrable qualities of ordinary slass,
~.esore or impact with even more tell...may
than iron, will rebound from the ground if thrown
on it, will hear a weight of 12 stones, it is clear that
we have got hold of • material of great structural
value. Builders will he aide to mohetitete it for
iron girders and pima'. Mr. Condor in the .1,1
.fmcntal for August, mentions that a circular saw
of glass is likely to found the beat means of overcoming
the great resistance offered by its own substance to
cutting.
