Hanged.

one of the three who last March muir
dered NJ. P. Renandin to get his earnings,
amounting to $4,000, was hanged this
morning. He said Il don't know how l
came to commit the deed. 1t was not
for money! Inever needed that. IT'S
mystery which only God can explain"
When the black cap was put on he said:
'Put it on square, you've got it twisted"
His neck was not broken in the drop.
Several seconds after he made an effort
as if to raise himself up and cried out
"Oh!" In ten minutes he was pro-
nounced dead.
The antagonists of modern advanced
education, if there be any, should have
heard little lecture that gentleman
gave on the street Wednesday morning.
The question had arisen as to the tend
cncy of modern advanced education to
create disgust for manual labor. The
gentleman told an anecdote, A young
lady who is very well known in Lewis
town and Auburn, and who>has had a
liberal education in America, a course of
study in the German schools, aud who
has since taught in some of the leading
schools of this state and others, came
home to her fathers farm this summer.
The hours hung rather heavily. Father,
your Office needs shingling," she said one
day. The next day the shingles were on
the spot, and the young lady proposed to
have some fun and combine it in legiti-
mate way with solid work. She built
the stagines geometrically, ran the lines
after Euclid, and shingled the Office as
neatly and expeditlously as the village
professor of shingling himself could have
done. She pulled down the staging and
erected it again over the ell of the house,
and, in spite of parental injunction,
shingled the ell and a sloping shed at
tached. She practiced music for pleasure
in the meantime, however, and read
German for pastime. Nothing" added
the gentleman, ''would be further from
her'own inclination and notoriety."
WINNIPEG, Nov. "a dispatch from
Brandon announces the capture of Jacob
Gribbon, who assassinated Daniel Bell of
st. Paul in this city in April, 1873. 1t
will be remembered that Gribbon was
tried and sentenced to ten years in the
provincial penitentiary. After serving
two years ne escaped and fled to Mon
tana. He was arrested in Grand Forks,
but as the charge against him was only
jail breaking, he having been sentenced
on the other charge, he could not be ex-
tradited. He will be brought to the city
tomorrow. The particulars of the crime
are: Gribbon went into brothel kept
by notorious female halfbreed. Daniel
Bell, who was cabip boy on the steamer
Manitoba, was in the next department.
Gribbon went in and quarrelled with
him. Bell drew a revolver, which Crib.
bon seized, and dragging Bell outside, he
placed the muzzle at Bells back and tired
killing him almost instantly. Gnbbon
fled to the brush, bat was surrounded by
gang of halfbreeds, who covered him
with their guns and compelled him to
lay down his arms and surrender. Crib
bon's previous record is very bad. He
was sentenced to fourteen years in the
Kingston penitentiary for rape. He was
also charged with drowning two girls at
Rat Portage for their money. His re-
capture has caused great excitement in
the province, as the crime was looked |
upon as most atrocious. He was found |
in bed in hotel, with revolver under
his pillow.
