must be decided upon the ground upon

must be CiUilized or erterminated.

The country is, in my opinion, very

you can fix it, and number of the best

culations to do with less timber than thew
do in the east; there is not enough for

upon their cofTins, and attended by Min.

selected miscellaneously from the crowd
were brought out in wagon, about hall
past one o'clock. The gallows consisted
OF cross.tie thrown over two upright
poles, with the ropes suspended from the
beam. The wagon was driven immedi.
ately underneath, and remained station.
ary while prayer was offered up by the
minister. Short was then told he could
speak if he had any thing TO say. The
prisoner seemed quite resigned and spoke
as follows
"Let this be warning to every one

never thought it would be my fate! To
all here, bid final adieu-may God
bless you as he has me. hope 10 meet
you in heaven. Farewell" 4"
In answering to remark made by one
OF his friends, 10 him, he said:
81 never thought would come to this;
but whisky and bad women have been the
cause OF it,"
Permission was then given Haney 10
speak. His remarks were briefly as fol
lows

The prisoners were in their ordinary
dress. Their hands were secured; and
after adjusting the ropes, caps were drawn
over their faces. The wagon was driven
rom under them, and their bodies drop.

When parties who come before Turk
iSh Cadiz are troublesome and appear tc
have no merits, the custom, as reported
by the Giaours, is to warm up the pedal,
of both plaintiff and defendant with q
sharp application of the bastinado, after
which they may be permitted to depart in
peace. Those Turkish customs seem to
be recognized in the Pennsylvania case
below:
Some years ago, the Legislature oI
Pennsylvania passed law imposing a
fine of $500 upon the Railroads of that
State for passing any bank notes of less
denomination than five dollars. One half
OF this penalty was to 60 to the informer.
Two or three Williams, out of business,
and desirous of making raise, entered
into an arrangement to bleed the Railroad
Companies. So they Travelled to and fro,
over the State, kept a close watch at the
ticket offices, and, when they saw bill
OF less denomination than rs, passed
or could pass one to the office themselves,
they made note of it. After few
months, they sprung their trap. and judg-
ments to the amount of SIC, 200 were pro.
cured against the roads. 1t was such a
palpable case of conspiracy that they
were indicted, and sent to the penitenlia-
ry. The Legislature has passed bill for
the relief of the roads, but the Governor
has vetoed it, and the probabilities arc
that the fines must be paid.
