During the week various troubles have
been reported from several collIeries in
Schuylkill which have had the effect of
somewhat reducing the stock at the ship

out of infrlngements of the agreement on
either one side or the other. In some cases
the difficulties have been settled by means
of arbitration, but in others the collieries
stand idle, without any hope of start for

Execution of MctfifIin at Brunswick Court
House. Va.

The Petersburg (Va,) Courier of Satur-
day last gives the following facts concern
ing the execution of a noted Virginia des-
perado, on Friday, the Dist instant.
Richard McGiffin paid upon the scaffold
the utmost penalty ofthe law for the crime
of murder, committed Opon man named
Drummond, some months ago. Sheriff
Bidwell, of Brunswick county Va, had re-
paired to the Jail of Richmond city the day
previous and duly returned to the court
house with the prisoner closely ironed.
During the final trip McGiffin appeared
very Indifferent.
About nine o'clock Friday morning he
confessed to the Catholic faith, and was at
tended by Father Jeanses, of the church.
He drew from his pocket a crucitfx and
thirty cents in money, which he requested
Mr.. Wilson to forward with some religious
books to his child, who was with his moth
er in Nash county, n. G. 5 -
At twenty minutes of twelve the sheriff
and the deputies, accompanied by the 9TH
er officers of the court, Geo. c. Starke and
j. r. Jones, physician, and about twenty
citizens, acting as a posse, moved on with
the condemned from the jail to the place
of execution.
His manner was nowapparently perfect
ly composed, more so than that efany
one around him. He knelt and repeated
prayer after the attending priest, and re-
ceived the final benediction. He then
quickly arose, shook hands with the sher-
if and other officers, and told each to meet
him in Paradise. The black cap was
drawn over his face, and at II. 10 the trap
fell. A thrilling scene was at once present
ed. The rope which had supported the
body, broke, and the man fell to the
ground as if lump of lead. His voice
was heard to say, Don't let it choke me-"
H. inv
rope readjusted. The half-dead man was
carried upon the scaffold. He, however,
stood alone. and without a groan or muir
muir allowed the moose to be again tied
The trap now fell, and the spirit of Nc
Giffin took its final flight. E&GE 2,

The 18th July riot had remarkable eff
feet on the New York newspapers. 1t re-
duced (perhaps only temporarily the cir
circulation of the SIN 5000; increased the
circulation Of the Star (the rioters organ)
nearly 10000; added slightly to the circu
culation of the World, but did no tmaterial
ly affect the Tribune, Times, or other daily
papers. The Irish party of New York are
particularly enraged against the Herald
and the Sun; and their organs have been
imploring the Irish servant girls MOTTO adj

if followed, would be very damaging to the

A Word About Wool.

Farmers too often suppose
that prices Of wool are regula.
ted solely by its quality. In
the main this is true, but there
are ether things which also af-
feet prices. For a few years
past, buyers, and especially
manufacturers, have given at.
tention to the condition as well
as quality of wool, and have
Disseminated in prices against
that which was sent to market
half washed or poorly packed.
Those who have wool to sell
will do well to remember this
and not only see that it. is prop
erly cleaned, but also that it is
welTIpacked. A little care up.
on both 'of these points may
make quite difference in the
price of the clip when offered
in the market.
