CHLOROFORM ON TIE GALLOWS.-The
Sheriff of Oneida unity, New York, at
the recent execution of VIM. II. Cars
well, gave the criminal chloroform be-
fore the execution took plac,. An in
dictment has now been brought against
the Sheriff for malfeasance in Office, and
the New York Legislature is about to
investigate the subject, and decide whe-
Their or not he shall be removed from his
Office. The ground upon which the
charges against the Sheriff are based is
that by means of the chloroform the vic
tim suffered les than he would without
it, and that in this way his punishment
was robbed of part of its terror. The
question is an interesting one, and is re-
ceiving much attention in New York.
The question at issue seems to be whe-
Their the idea of capital punishmen mt is
simply to deprive t &c criminal Of lie, il.
which case the easier it is accomplished
the better, or whether the manner in
which de 18th is reached is an important
element of the punishment.

MAGGIE MITCHELL MARRIED. The
Toledo Blade says that in July last Mr..
Henry 7. Paddock, late ofthat city, and
Miss Maggie Mitchell, the accomplished
and popular actress, were united in mar
riage at New York, which place the
twain intend to make their future
home. AS the lady had a numbe' OF
professional engagements to fill it was
deemed best to keep the fact OF her mar
riage secret from the public, and it
was made known to but few of the
friends of either party. Mr. Pa ddock
left Toledo last week t. take up his resi-
dence in New York. 1T is understood
that Maggie" has made her last appear
ance on the public stage.
