Great difficulty has been experienced in selecting a jury, as almost every one has formed some opinion of the case. A panel of 650 names was entirely exhausted and but five jurymen chosen.

It appears to be almost universally believed that Mcfarland will not be convic- ted
 A motion was made, Friday last for stay of proceedings in the case of Reynolds, the murderer of Townsend, but Judge Ingrabam did not deem the grounds sufficient for stay and refused to grant it.

The Sheriff does not think it at all probable that the Governor will grant it, and consequently, is making the final arrangements for the execu- tion, which is to take place Friday next.
