saraaslea 10 Death.
Charles Stockley was strangled to death in
the presence of a large audience at Batavia,
New York, on the 10Th inst, for the murder,
the 9th of April last, of John Walker, for
whom he was working as farm hand. Stockley
desired to marry Walkers sixteen year-ol
who rejected him, and because
Walker would not compel the girl to marry
him, he shot him down while in his field at
work without a word of warning.
The Demand for Labor.
No m an need now to be without work. The
demand in the West and Southwest for labor
ers of almost every description, is greater than
the supply. The orders ON Castle Garden, for
immigrant labor, although immigrants are
pouring in by the thousands, cannot be sup
piled. Able-bodied men who may now be
travelling about the country with the complaint
that they can't get work, are constitutional
dead-beats.
Crime Goes Unpunished.
Is it any wonder that murderers are becom-
ing SO bold? A few days ago, near Monroe
City, Illinois, Luke Mosby assassinated a man
named Lawson Hewitt, and surrendering him
self, upon a preliminary examination, was dis
charged. The murder, q correspondent says,
was the most brutal and unprovoked ever
heard of, but Mosby was cleared because the
inhabitants Of that community were his
friends.
