The British Iron Market in the United States
We find in Wilmer & Smiths European Times, OF
July 49, the last number received, statement Of the
quantity of British iron exported from Liverpool du
ring the three previous weeks, TO all parts of the
world, which that paper publishes for the purpose
of showing the vast value to Great Britain of the
market in the U. States opened to her by the Amcr
can tariff, of 1916 We give the substance of the
statement, emitting the details; and we agree with
the European Times that sit will afford matter for
serious reelection, only that think the rciicc-
ton ought to be much more serious in the United
States than in England.
The three weeks are those ending 26th June, I'd
July and 10Th July, lSIS and the countries TO which
the iron was exported are, LIST, the British posses
sons in all parts Of the world; ID, all other parts of
the world (eNccpt the United States;) Sd, the Uni
ted States:
l. To British Possessions, ......... 300 tons
.. Other parts OF the W ord .......I ,blO tons.
5. United States, ..........-.. 1858 tons.
Total, ...:...... ......... .l6,4o3 tons.
That is to say, that upwards of eight teHthS (S25
per cent? Of all the British iron exported from Ly
crpool during those three weeks to the United
States; and we suppose may take these three
weeks as samples of the year.
We iron men and coal men of Pcnnsylv ania, what
do yOu think of all this? And what think &c farmers
of the United States, who have great and mighty
crops of and wheat to export this year, il you
had but foreign markets for it do you believe that
England will take eighteen of your surplus.

Hon. Judge Nash, William cambridge Eppes sui
tered the penalty OF the law for the crime of muir
der, perpetrated on the body OF Francis Adol plus
Muir, ESQ.,, on the I'd day of February, 1916. AT
about 20 minutes to one o'clock, the prisoner, ac-
companled by the Rev. Messrs Hargrave and
Wlthers, left the jail. The prisoner was dressed
IN his grave clothes, Gall whlte,) and, with the
locke remarkably well. HIS carriage was erect
and his step firm. Arrived at the spot, the Rev.
Mr.. Withers addressed the multitude collected,
closing with prayer appropriate to the OCCASION
The prisoner then mounted the cart, and in a
clear, audible voice, indicating no signs OF emo
ton, made the following remarks:-
"GENTLEMEN:-ltw was not my object to have any

he hoped to meet me there. hope shall meet him
there, and believe will meet him there for trust in
Gods promises.
"GENrLKMEN:- have seen better days, aud many of

know not what we may do. hope that my fate may
be ming to you to shun my example. leave this
world, at peace with all mankind feel that am at

The sheriff proceeded In the performance OF the
duties of his office. While the prellminaries were
arranging, the criminal displayed the same forti.
tude that he had shown throughout the trial, and
at the pronuncatoH of the sentence. While the
bandage was being ned over his eyes he muuered.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;'
and all things being ready, the cart was moved
