ETecution.-The unfortunate John LechIer was
executed on Friday The 25h ult. on the Commons,
west of the city of Lancaster, between the hours OF
and O'Clock P. NJ. C He walked on foot from
the Jail to the place of execution, escorted =" says
The Paradise Hornet, "by the City Guards, the Ian.
caster Phalanx and Lancaster Greens, and accom-
panied by the city baDd.-Two troops of Cavalry
and the Leacock Phalanx from the country attended
on the ground and formed guard round the gal
ows before the criminal arrived. Many estimates
are made OF the number OF persons present, SOME
say Is thousand, some 90 and some so; for our
part,we cannot offer opinion. The whole conduct
ed themselves in manner worthy of credit, and
the most profound silence prevailed.
I" The gallows was placed on conspicuous place,
hat all had an opportunity OF seeing without crowd
ing. The Criminal appeared truly penitent, and sub.
mted to his fate with an astonishing degree Of for
utude.''
The following paragraph which Immediately fol-
lows the account of the execution Of Lechler. con-
aims no very strong argument in favor of capital
punlshments.
g We stop the press to inform our readers, that
Thomas Burns of Slrasburg, was stabbed last night
ear Lancaster. by man of the name of Wilson,
who was Immediately apprehended and committed
to prison Our informant, who present states
that Mr.. Burns yet living, but MORALLY wounded .
Here according TO this account, is another muir
der-committed on the very evening of the day in
which one homicide was hanged-perpetrated in all
probability, by one who witnessed the execution
effected, almost under the gaows -accomplshed,
before he who had suffered the penalty of the law
was cold in his grave If this were an insulated
case, no useful application could be made of it in
l
and this serves to corrohorate the opinion Of the in
efficiency if not the inexpediency, of capital pun
ishments.- Union.
COyMDlN.f11OyN-ft is stated, in one of the
newspapers Of this city, that the journeymen aylors
have recently turned out not only TO obtain an adj
vance in their wages which has been granted, but
to prevent the employment OF females for tayorng
purposes: 1t is further stated that some Of the EN-
ployers have been compelled to ag ee TO this IN
manly proposal, and to dismiss the females hereto
fore at work for them. Various modes have been
suggested for putting stop TO such proceedings !;
we offer one on our part-let some of the females
set up business for themselves and we venture to
S y that the community will give them ample EN-
pioyment; so much that they may have some to
spare for the I" lords of the creation. "-.Hurora.
