: CONNECTION Of Hunter HN.-on Monday the
case ''y was submitted to the jury, who, alter
retirement Of Just one'hour, returned into Court
,s;.h verdict of Guilty IF Murder 1" ttefrst de-
er 80. The Judge, then. after short but very
iSynnressive address to the prisoner, pronounced
thu awful sentence Of Death ! to be carried IN
to execution (by hanging( on Friday the I'd
If January next. The prisoner appeared to be
much affected; he spoke few words previous
to being led out saying he hoped God wonld
forgive him, and that the people woald for
give him; and that he had no thought of killing
Major Smith when he asked him to walk with
him.
The prisoners Counsel moved for new trl-
al; but the Judge overruled the motion. Sey-
era bills of exceptions were signed and seal
ed by the Court during the trial, and we learn
that petition will probably be sent up to 'ne
General Court, which meets at Richmono IN
December, for writ of error tc bring the case
before that tribunal. Should this be granted
andnbe verdict of the jury set aside, the punish
ment for murder in the second degree IS con-
fnement in the Penitentiary, the longest term
of which is eighteen years.

Let go ma Hair.-An old pastor once stated,
that in the whole course of SO years preaching,
he never laughed bnt three times in the pulpit,
during the exercises of the Sabbath. On one
of these occasions, the following occurrence
took place:
The pews of the church were those old FASH
toned square ones, so that the people in differ
cnt pews often sat back to back, only separa-
ted by low railing for division.
Now it fell out one Sabbath that two good
old deacons, in two contiguous peWs, had fall
len into profound medtations, and closing
their twice two eyes, had thrown their heads
back until their two occupants, with their long
queues dangling therefrom had met together,
& were quietly reposing tor the benefit the a
foresad internal meditations. There were some
wicked people present, who scandalously in
situated that the two deacons were asleep, but
looked upon it as mere persecution for rghte-
onsness' sake. However, there was an awful
depraved young man in the third pew, that
cornered upon the two, where the deacons
were meditating. and what does this sacrill-
gious sinner do? Why he takes the dangling
1ueues aforesaid, and softly ties them closely
and firmly together. And then, as II that were
not enough to. send him oPerditlon, ne takes a
min. and cruelty sticks it into one OF the dea
cons. I'll,
Well the deacon jumped, of course, like
stuck pig, and the jump gave severe TWICE.
anon the queues of both heads.
..Let 20 my hair!' cried deacon number one
"Let 90 mn hair" cried deacon number
,Twas now witch and witch! hit and hit
hut the conclusion must be left to the readers
imagination.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES our last prices were
at least half cent above what the European rates
would warrant. yet the decline noticed on We'd
nesday has been fully recovered. This upward
tendency is partly owing to the very small stock
now on saie and partly to the idea entertained
by some that the killing Frost that has taken place
with US, may have extended over the cotton lati-
tudes, thereby making a large crop improbable
The sales include 73 bales Texas for export at 81
cents, short price. Total for the week 1915.
NAVAL SToRRs-We have been without an ar
rival for eight days past, and have no sales Of
Turpentine to report, though the article is in
quest that in yard (perhaps 1000 bbls.) is
not offered at present. Spirits Turpentine, from
the unusual scarcity, with good demand, has still
further improved, with sales of 800 casks, from
store and to arrive, at 46, A and 4S cents, cash.
and SO, mos. with still an upward tendency.
Pitch, in consequence of the recent improvement
in Resin, has also advanced; we notice sale OF
200 bbs. southern at ST., cash and In lots as
wanted, at 81 25 per bbl. No sales of common
Rosin have came to our knowledge recently. Tar
is without change.

posed them at every step. And when
ever the Statesman would warn the
people Of any administration, such as
Urbana, and Granville, the Journal
would denounce US as warning upon
the currency. But the prediction of the
Statesman proved true-thev went the
way Of all rag, mills, and sorely didthe
people feel it. The last portion Of this
resolution is particularly rich, to be en-
dorsed as ,ohig doctrine They insist
ION bringing the banker on a leeetwith
the common citizen! This is barefaced
beyond precedent. Is Tie private prop.
erty of the stockholders and directors

not object 10 having it made liable?
Yes. is not stock Of the bank exempt

mon citizen taxed on his property &C.

jected TO taxing the banks upon their
capitals? The wings. In every in
stance when the question has came up
to bring banks on a leuel with common
citizen, the wings, as party, have al
ways gone against it. In the face o.
all this, they claim that this resolution
contains whig doctrine! If they con-

will it be before they will go for the
