UNION-HALL.

A PRISON BARBER.—On Monday a journeyman
hair-dresser, named Ginn, was charged with creating
a disturbance at the execution of John Hallaban, at
floraemouger-lane Gaol. The defendant was itt
the habit of shaving the inmates of the gaol, and
conceiving, from his long connexion with them, that
he had a prescriptive right to be present at all exe-
cutions, and to take up his place within the barriers,
in order to have a better view of ghat was going
forward, he accordingly posted himself in this situa-
tion. On Monday morning the constable on duty
told him this could not be allowed, but the de-
fendant vociferated that he was the barber, and
when he was turned away, he was so enraged at his
view of the execution being spoiled, that he struck
the constable.
The MAGISTRATES inflicted a small fine on him.

TURNING WOOL INTO FUR.—The wool-
growers of Podolia and the Ukraine, and also in the Asiatic
province of Astrachan, have a peculiar method of turning
wool into fur. The lamb, after a fottniglit's growth, is
taken from the ewe, nourished with milk and the best
herbage, and wrapt up as tight as possible in a linen co-
vering, which is daily moistened with waren water, and is
occasionally enlarged as the animal increases in size. In
this znanuer for .v.ol becomes soft and curly, and is by
.gegrees changed into shining beautiful locks. This is the
kind of fur which passes under the name of Astrachan,
end is considered on the Continent as the most genteel
l►ning for winter cloaks. Similar trills with German
sheep have been attended with the same success. The
Saxon breed of sheep have, within the last ten years, su-
perseded the merinos, and their wool is of superior quality.
A curious circumstance occurred within a few
days. A person from Bungay Was travelling to Norwich,
when, turning his eye into the plantation near Brooke, he
saw a man hanging from a tree, and struggling es it lie
load just been suspended. The traveller ins,antly cut him
down, loosened the rope from his throat, and succeeded in
restoring him to Lie and his faculties. This was no sooner
accomplished than the person (whoever he was) rose and
said, Thank you, Sir," and walked quietly away without
further parley.—Norwich Mercury.

VERDICT IN DUNGARVON.---The Jury has
drought in a verdict of •' Unju-titia.ble Homicide," which
is, in fact, a verdict of Wilful Murder, against Mr.
CouarNav, of Lismore, the Magistrate, who ordered the
tiring, and also against one of the Marines, but who is un•
known to the Jury. The man shot on this occasion was
FINDIAS FITZGERALD. A second inquest is now sitting
upon another case, a poor man, who on the same occasion
.vas mortally wounded, arid is since dead. The verdict
must, of course, be the isame.—. Waterford Chronicle.
