Tur Correr Nuisance.—The P. E. Island Government are disposing of a lot of cents (the only Grit Government, by the way, that was ever known to have any sense to dispose of, and this has proved a nuisance to the people.) Tae Government have disposed of a large quan- tity of cents, at $90 for 100 dollars’ worth. These are driving silver and notes out of circu- lation. Merchants selling a dollars worth of oom are paid with money purchased from the

tovernment for ninety cents.— Hx. Herald.

Grorce Wuirr, who is remanded for ex- amination before the Grand Jury—in connec- tion with the North River troubles—charged with stealing a beehive from Mr. John Sellars, about four years ago, produced witnesses be- fore the Stipendiary, this forenoon, with the intention of proving an alibi. James Docken- dorff and a young fellow named Henderson testified that they were at Dockendorff’s at the time the bees of the hive in question were smothered; that George White was not present ; and that the smothering of the bees took place at six o’clock in the evening. The last item in their testimony differs from Mc- Intyre, on whose testimony White was re manded. He (McIntyre) testifies that it was at eleven o'clock in the night that the bees were smothered. In the face of this the Magistrate could not discharge the prisoner, but he will recommend to the Attorney Gen- eral that James Dockendorff and Henderson be examined before the Grand Jury relative to the charge against White.

The Execution of Farrel.

SCENE IN THE JAIL YARD—THE WORK BADLY PERFORMED—A FEARFUL SPECTACLE.

A Quebee despatch of the 11th inst. says : The last scene in the Farrel murder case was witnessed this morning in the jail yard at 8.10 a. m., when, in obedience to the de- mands of justice, Michael Farrel, yielded up his life for the murder of Francis Conway in Augusi. No possible efforts were spared to obtain a commutation of the sentence. A thousand people surrounded the jail and on the fields and plains of Abraham. Only about 100 were admitted into the jail yard, About 15 minutes before the hour the black tlag was hoisted on the jail. The hangman, an inmate of the jail, proved a stupid fellow, one entirely ignorant of his business. He was masked. The rope was attached toa beam of the scaffold before Farrell made his appearance, Farrell spent the last few hours with his spiritual advisers, and did not show the least agitation when pinioned. The work of execution was shamefully botched. The prisoner was led to the scaffold by Fathers Mynn and Burke, walk- ing apparently without- hesitation. On reaching the scafiold all three knelt, and the De Profundis was said by Father Myun, all present uncovering their heads. The cor- oner, jailerand sheriff stood behind the party. Farrel then shook hands with and wished zach Father farewell, and received in return a word of Christian fortitude. He placed his hat again on his head and took his stand on the fatal drop. The hangman adjusted the noose, but was a long time letting go the drop The agitated Farrell, who glanced anxiously around and, in his terror at see- ing the bolt withdrawn, he clutched the rope which, having hung too low down from his neck, caught beneath his pinioned arm. He uttered a piercing cry as he hung in this position between time and eternity, with the fatal work but partiall} aceom- plished. The scene was terrible as the wretched hangman shook the rope violently above Farrell’s head, causing it to right it- self. So badly was the work done that life was not extinct for over fifteen minutes after the drop fell. The body was then cut down and the usnal inquest held. There has never, probably, been a more brutal execution witnessed anywhere.
