What- ever attention may be paid by the Government to the wood business, it is very unlikely, we should imagine, that his request in the other matter will be acceded to, as a desire that his comrades should see how gamely he can die has doubtless dictated it, and not that they might, learn a lesson from his untimely and ignomonious end.

The boy, although badly cut on the forehead and lip,
