STATE SHEEP SHEAREG EXmBTTION .-
As wool is one Of the staple productions OF
Michigan. and as i is conceded that Sheep
>hearing Exhibitions are Of great benefit
10 wool growers, we suggest the prOpreiy
OF holding State sheep Shearing Exhibi-
uon next season. al the state Agricultural
College m this city. This would bring to-
gether ali the principa. wool growers IA the
state. who would bring their favoriie sheep
for exhibition, and aside from the knowi-
edge that might De gained AS TO the breeds
best adapted 10 the wants OF the farmers OF
the state from observation a general IN
terchange OF views might be- had upon al
subjects bearing upon Sheep husbandry.
that would be Of vast practical benefit to
all engaged in this important branch OF
agricultural pursuits. such an exhibition
could be better accommodated al the AZ
ucu'tural College than any other place m
the state. and an opportunity would thus
bee afforded for many men to visit the Col
lege that have never been within its walls.
and 10 become acquainted with its objects
and aims, and the facilities possessed for ac-
complishing them. This acquaintance We
are cure would ripen into friendship, for
much Of the opposition 10 the College comes
from those who condemn without knowl-
edge. the same as many irrehgious iiberIDes
condemn the teachings Of the Bible who
have never looked within iislds Thuswould
double benefit fow from such an eGbi-
bition.

half hour of hanging had left no special impression on her memory
sShe came to herself as if she had awakened out of Sleep-nOt recover
ing the use of her speech by slow degrees, but n a manner altogether
Tall at once1, beginning to speak where she left off on the galOWs'
Among all the printed narratives Of this remarkable case, there is none
that offers a clear explanation and we are left to our surmises on the
subject. There was a strong religious bias in the public mind at that
period and this feeling led to a belief in the direct mterposiion of
Heaven in Anne Green's favour. The undergraduates of Oxford Uni
yersity viewed the matter in another light; they sought to exercise their
wit and poetry on it; and there have been preserved twenty or thirty
epigrams written by them, aud signed with their names-One of which
was .Mr Christopher Wren Anne Green, having received a pardon
after this strange resusctatiOn, retired with her friends to 6teepe Bar
ton, where she married, had a family, and died in 1869.
Somewhat about the same period, one Gordon, a highwayman, was
condemned for execution. He found means, when his sentence WaSnO
longer doubtful, to obtain the aid of young surgeon, who, shortly be-
fore the execution, fixed a small tube through an opening cut n the
culprit, being a very heavy man, drew down with too great a weight;
he breathed for a few minutes when removed after hanging, but did not
recover. In 1868 a female servant was hanged for some crime at Ok
ford; she was kept hanging a longer time than usual probably on a-
count of the wonderful resusctation of Anne Green a few years before.
She was cut down, and the body allowed to fall to the ground with much
violence; vet she lived but the severity Of the law insisted upon her
undergoing a second and more fatal hanging. There has, it appears,
been a difference of opinion among legal authorities concerning this
double infection of the sentence. Some contend that if a man is hanged,
that is enough; if the execuHOners do their work clumsny, he ought not
to bear the consequences, but rather should be given the benefit of the
execution, and that execution means hanging by the neck until the cm-
prit be dead; so that if the hanging fails once, it must be tried again.
In 1872, one Richard Johnson was hanged at Shrewsbury for muir
der. For a purpose which he planned while in prison, he obtained a
promise that his dead body should be laid in a coffin without being strip
ned. His purpose was detected a little too soon for life being observ-
able in him after he had hung half an hour, a man was sent up the ladder
to examine into the probable cause of this prolonged vitality. 1t was
found that Johnson had twisted cords around and under his body, con
nected with two rings or hooks near his neck a double shirt, and a peri

TO the Editor of the St. CrOix Avis
Dear Sir!

A Bassender has in one Of your last papers
recommended the purchase of a new courthouse
in his town, because the old one does not look
good enough. A West Ender-cOnvinced, that,
to wise persons, appearances are rather indltfer-
ent, and essential realities only Important
wishes now to lay before the Public a reflection,
not his only, relative to the courthouse in his
town. This building was damaged by that
great fire, which, in the night between the 8th
and 9th of September 1868, totally consumed
two houses on the opposite side of the street
from this reason a private building in Strand
street has since been used as a courthouse.
The rent for this house, containing accommoda-
tions both for the Police and the Sheriff. de-
partments, must be something like $50 a month
at that rate an amount Of about $1,000 for the
two years and eight months, in which this
courthouse rent has been paid, must have been
absorbed from the public means of this island,
and as yet not a sign is shown of a tendency to
save this money for the benefit of the island,
either by fitting the old court house for tempo
rary use by the most necessary repair, or of
rebuilding it, though the public money already
spent in paying rent for a private courthouse
would have gone far to the realization of this
purpose, if it had been thus applied in time, so
that this expense might have come to an end in
O. short time: an owner Of a private building,
having some sense, if even in far better fnan-
cial circumstances than our fecced, poverty
stricken island, after having suffered by fire,
would undoubtedly have tried in this manner to
save unnecessary expense, because he himself
would benefit by doing so. 1t is a we'll known
fact, that private guardians are often unWar-
rautably squandering the money of their wards
is not this an instance, in which the public

wig with flowing curls, concealed these contriyances. The poor wretch
was stripped Of his ingenious apparatus, and hanged q second time more
Gfectuany. Tn I705, a burglar, named John Smith, was hanged at
Tyburn a reprieve came after he had been hanging about fifteen
minutes; he was Immediately cut down, removed to a neghbOuring
house, bed by a surgeon, and restored to life The case of Margaret
Dickson was one that excited great interest at Edinburgh in 1924. She
was hanged for nfantcide; the body was cut down, placed in a coffin,
and removed in q cart to Musselburgh by her friends, with a view to
intement in the parish churchyard. The ioltng of the cart, and the
to have combined in resuscHaHng the woman; for she Showed evident
signs of life before the cart had proceeded one-third Of the distance. She
was removed, revived, prayed with by a minister, and received back into
the circle of her friends. She lived crediably many years afterwards,
had a large family, and sold salt about The streets of Ednbugh-where
she was known on account OF her strange escape, as HalFhahged Mag
ge'
William DUEL was one of those who have revived when almost
under the dissectng-knife. This man was hanged for murder, on a glib
bet put up at Acton, in 1740. After hanging for twenty minutes, the
attendants stripped and washed the body, and the surgeons prep ared for
their labour Just as they were about to begin, however, they perceived
faint signs of life in him; he grOaned feebly, and his breathing became
gradually more and more perceptble. They bed him and in the eve
ming he was able to sit up again. He was conveyed back to prison; but
there was too much public excitement to justify the authorities in hang
ing him again. In two days he recovered his health. Fever and deli
rum had rendered his memory a blank, and he had lost all recollection
of the hanging. 1T was supposed by the surgeons that a full flow of
blood at the time had enabled his system to resist the tightening of the
veins, and to have thus restored him to life -and to Hberty, however, for
he was afterwards transported. In 1852, Even Macdonald was hanged
for murder. After the body was cut down, it was taken to Surgeons
Hall, and placed ready for dissection. The operating surgeon having
to leave the room for a short time, was surprised ON his return to see the
man sitting up. Possessing more professional zeal than humanity, the
surgeon took a maHet, and killed Macdonald outright, in order not to be
disappointed of an opportunity for dissection. This atrocious case gave
rise to much indignant comment ct the time. In 1867, a tailor, named
Patrick Redmond, was hanged atCork for highway robbery. After
hanging less than the usual time, the body was out down, and conveyed

To the Editor of the St. CrOix Avis!
Mr.. Editor,

MIR. EOlCOr,
BY a long existing law every cask of sugar
exported from this Island shall be distinctly
marked with the "Brand'' of the Estate of
which it is the growth and produce. 1t is also
established by a recent law that a Tax shall
be paid on all the sugar produced yearly by
each respective Estate in the Island. Now,
Sir, according to the Customs Books of this
Town there has been up to date-before the
crop is half shipped-over one hundred and
thirteen thousand pounds of so called "Sugar
Cake Sugar. shipped to st. Thomas from this
port, and it may be safely assumed an equal
quantity, or more, has been shipped from Fred
eriksted. Allow me therefore to ask why this
Cake, or manufactured sugar, is exempt from
being ''Branded' with any Estates brand when
exported, and also from payment of the above
Tax, as no return of it, is certainly made l
have heard it stated as a reason that this Cake
sugar being the collective "Bribes' given the
Labourers from various Estates, and therefore
could not be specially designated, the Ordi-
nance made and provided contrawise, is cOnse-
quentIy dispensed with in this case Suppose a
Merchant should collect a few hundred pounds
of sugar from each of several of his customers
in payment ofaccOunt, and packed these cOllec-
tons in casks for expectation, would these
casks by the same parity of reasoning be exr
empt from being "branded' !-and why not
Whose duty is it to rectify this anomalous
state of things The Governor, or the Coloni-
al Council
These are questions which the quidxuncs will
ponder.
Yours, truly,
