The manufacture of the solid emery wheel (so-called), In this country, Is ono of very modern date. In the history and descrip tion of "The Great Industries of tho United Slates," by Horace Grocly and others, pub lished in 1872, tho manufacturing of emery wheels is not mentioned as ono of tho In dustrics of this country. Tho utility, how ever, of crushed emery moulded and com pressed Into a solid wheel to bo run by rapid machinery, for grinding away metals , was previously known, and their manufacture on a small scale had been tried. At tho present time, to such a stato of perfection has it been brought that tho emery wheel is indlspcnsiblo in tho various processes of shaping hard metals into implements for man's use. In the earlier arts, crushed or powdered emery, which was found In and imported from Turkey, was used by lapidarios in pol ishing gems, it being as hard as any of the precious stones, except the diamond. It was also used upon leather wheels, and ce mented to cloth and paper, forgiving a high polish to metals, elo. But, as might bo ex pected, it was an expensive article of com merce, and for this reason, if no other, any project conceived of to fhfipo it into ponder ous wheels with a purpose to supercedoboth tho time-honored file and grindstone in our iron and steel working shops, whould have subjected the projector to tho suspicion of being a candidate for tho mad-house. But tho progress of chemical and geologi cal research, extending from the first of the present century to tho present time, devel oped tho fact that Turkish emery, a natural formation of alumina and iron, in its mas sive variety, was allied to corundum or ada mantine spar, found in abundance in the mountains of Armenia, Hindoostan and in other parts of the Orient, which in its trans parent form is tho oriental sapphiro, ruby, topaz and cmciald. At a still moro recent date corundum, of a superior quality, and in massive quantities, has been found In Chester county, Pennsylvania, and at other points in tho Bluo Ridgo mountain in West Virginia, tho Carol in as, Georgia and Alabama, some handsome specimens of which, richly studded with 6apphire and ruby, aro on the desk before us at this writ ing. Add to this the fact that our moun tains contain unlimited quantities of quartz and other argillaceous formation adapted to the purpose, and the subtle American genius saw that, by tho combined forces of mechan ism and chemistry, an artificial grindstone could bo made that would not only master any substance brought in contact with it ex cept the diamond, but at a mere nominal cost. Theso discoveries, coupled with the useful ness of tho emery wheel, in tho mechanical arts, has called into existence numerous factories in different sections of tiio country, engaged in making tho wheels, and others in crushing and preparing the matcral used. Tho wheels, by their shape, aro adapted to the widest range of purposes ns a tool in the machine shops and other establishments engaged in metal working. Tho cursory observer who watches tho various processes of making these wheels will conclude that it is easy and simple, with tho perfect ma chinery used for the purpose, forgetting that the compounding involves a thorough in sight into chemistry and geology, combined witli skill and experience in mechanics. Like all new industries in which scienoo and art aro involved, making the wheels is ono rapablo of continual improvement ond although some manufactures havo at tained to a high degrco of perfection, new discoveries and improvements aro daily be ing mudc. Among tho first companies of the country, and one which lias mado the greatest stride towards making a perfect wheel, is tho "Le high Valley," whose works cover an exten sive area of ground iu Weissport. Through the past years of business stagnation, this company has heln its own, doing a larger business in 1878 than in the previous year, and controls, by the superiority of its goods, a large and stcudfast trado for tho current year. Tho company's charter is dated July 13, 1874, and the charter members were Amos W. Marsh, Isaac Butterfield, Dr. J. G. Zern, Wcibsport; Win. Wagner, Hon. Wm. M. Rapsher, Leliighton ; Gen. Win. Lilly, A. YV. Butler, W. R. Butler, Mauch Chunk, The first officers elected were Wm. Wagner, president; W. R. Butler, treasurer, and Wm. M. Rapsher, secretary. Tho present officers aro Gen. Wm. Lilly, president; and L. E. Wills, secretary and treasurer. The Board of directors now aro Gen. Wm. Lilly, Wm. H. Stroll, Wm. It. Butler, Win. Wag ner, Hons. Wm. M. Rapsher and J. G. Zern, and L. E. Wills. Mr. L. E. Wills acts as superintendent of the works, giving tho most ininuto attention to tho manufacture of tho wheels, commen cing with tho selection and procuring of the materials, some of whichaiea secret with this establishment, and extending to the mixing, tho pressing, drying, testing, dress ing with tho diamond tool, inspecting and shipping them to the trado. With the co operation of a board of directors composed of men of well-known business cnterpiiso and sagacity, nnd with a corps of skilled and experienced workmen nnd perfected ma chinery, it would bo impossible for tho works not to turn out tho highest grades of goods, and they do. To tho curious in mechanism, a fow hours can bo spent at tho works with profit and pleasure, where Supt. Wills,or if he happens co bo busy, tho polite aim obliging book keeper, Mr. John F. Zern, will explain tho modus operandi of making and using tho wheel after it is made. Tho Mixing-room is a mincrological and chemical laboratory, and containstho secrets of tho company, by which tho reputation of the concern has been mado in tho commer cial world. The room in which tho wheel is pressed coutalns a hydraulic machine, operated by a double force pump, capable, if desired of putting 1000 tons prossuro in the cylinder of tho hydraulic. Some idea of tho immensity of this pressure may bo formed when it is known that itwill forco tho water through the jiorcs of an iron cylinder 6 inche, thick. Thecylinderin use now is of gun. met. al.andls a piece oftho rifled Parrot gun, known as tho "Swamp Angel," which was bursted onMorris Island iu tho bombardment of Charleston. C.jnthe 7th of April, 1803. Tho pressnro required is in projwrtion to the size of the wheel being made. After tlio wheel is driod, it is put in tha tester, and run at a speed of 10,000 surface Teet jier minute. If it contains the least flaw this speed will burst it. It is then turned and dressed and is ready for use. A Good Account."

The execution of Chas. Sharpo nnd James McDonnell, in tho Carbon county jail, on Tuesday last, impresses a solomn moral Ics- son. Tlio lesson is tha old but infatlblo ono, that " tho wages of sin aro death," and that ho who sheds tho blood of his fellow man, llko tho wandering Jew, finds no rest; tlio hand of vctigeanco follows him continually, until ho has paid tho penalty pronounced by Omnipotence, "an cyo for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Sharpo and McDonnell wcro arrested, charged with being accomplices In tho mur der of Gcorgo K.Smith, at tho Yorktown colliery, noar Audenried, in 1803. They were members ofa criminal organization in the coal regions then known as the " Buck Shots" or Mollio Moguircs. They were tried at the April term of Couit, last year, and, although ably defended by counsel, wero convicted of murder In tho first degree. The history of their trials is too well known to bo repeated. Everything pointed to their guilt. After his arrest, McDonnell volun tarily turned State's evidence in tlio case In Schuylkill county, Commonwealth against Martin Birgin, in which ho confessed com plicity in tho murder of Patrick Burns. At the Juno term, P. J. Median and F. P. Longstrcet, Esqrs., oounsel for prisoners, made an effort to sccuro them a new trial, which Judgo Drchcr refused. Other efforts wero made before the Board of Pardons and to tako their cases to tho Supreme Court, but without avail. After a considerable de lay tho Governor signed their death war rants, setting tho execution for tho 18th of December last, but their counsel claimed that new evidence had been discovered, and the Governor respited them until tho 14th of January. About ono week ago, their counsel again brought tlio cases to too no lico of tlio Board of Paidous, but interfer ence, after a review of all the evidence, was denied, l athers uunce and Ileinan, the prisoners' spiritual advisers, paid them re peated visits, counseling them to prepare for death. the last Niani on earth. Sheriff Haudonbush, n man whoso sym pathies aro a? deep as are his convictions of rigni ami uuiy, was unceasing in ins atten tions to tho wants of tho two unfortunate men. During Monday Sharpo had held several interviews with his wife, and the sheriff had telegraphed Mrs. McDonnell, at tho request of her husband, to come on at once, but had received a telegram from Jno. W. Ryon, of rottsville, that sho could not get thero until Tuesday morning. Monday evening the prisoners wcro cheerful, partook of a hearty supper, and during tho night, as they wero vished at intervals by tho sheriff nnd his assistants, ready to adminis ter to their wants, wero found to bo either engaged in devotion or peacefully sleeping. At an early hour on Tuesday morning two brothersof the condemned men, Jno. Sharpe and Teter McDonnell, and other relatives, and Fathers Bunco and Ileinan visited the jail. The prisoners refused breakfast. They dressed themselves neatly, and witli the priests cngnged in religious devotions. By nine o'clock a largo ciowd had gathered u round the jail, anil the jurymen and repre sentatives of tho press wero admitted. It was known that tho prisoners' counsel wero in Horrisburg, pleading mercy for their clients witli tho Governor, but 1'. J. Median, Esq., arrived by tho 10:20 train hopeless and dejected. the execution. At about 9:30 a. in. Fathers Bunco nnd Ileinan entered tho cells of tho condemned and administered the last rites of tho church to them. They both expressed themselves as being prepared to meet their God, and sent messagosof lovo and consolation to their families and friends. They thanked the Sheriff and Warden Arnibfustro for their uniform kindness. At precisely 10:20 o'clock the sheriffaiinouneeilthatthe liournppoint ed for tho execution had arrived, and, con sulting the priests, told them, if necemarv, ho would delay the execution lin 2 o'clock. Tho reply of the priests was " Tho prison ers aro prepared and ready for execution." A brother ol Sharpe and two of McDonnell's occupied positions at tlio foot of the gallows. At just 10:33, Sharpo accompanied by Rev. Bunco nnd McDonnell by llcv. Ileinan emerged from their cells, and walked up the scaffold unstimiorlcd and with u firm, steady step, each holding a crucifix. Arrived upon tho scaffold, the sheriff ask ed Sharpe il lie had anything to say : Sharpe, reading from a paper, " I am go ing to meet my God. 1 declare before God 1 urn as innocent of the murder of Smith ns the child unborn. Had no lot nor part in tlio murder. I am sorry I left the church. I ask paidon of nil, and give my life for my sins. McDonnell is innocent iif tho Smith murder. Thank God lie is back again in the church." McDonnell said: "Sharpo and I havo been often together. Ho is as innocent of tho crime as tlio babo unborn. 1 am inno cent of any murder, except tho one I con fessed. I am sorry I left tlio Catholic church to join a secret organization." They wero then admonished by their spiritual adviseis to knee, and make an humble confession of their sins, and plead lor mercy and forgiveness. Alter they rose from their knees, the priests saluted them witli kUscs, and witli tho sheriff took leavo of the men. Sharpo said ho wanted to say ono moro word : " I givo my sinceio thanks to Shi-riff liauilcnuusu, ins wile ami children, anil to Warden Armbrustre. They have all treated mo decent since I hove been here." Mc Donnell said : "And I say tho same," and Iu rning fo ono of his brothers said: "Give that man five dollars," pointing to Father Ileinan. Father Ileinan leplied, " Never mind now, attend to your prayers." Mc Donnell's last words wcro" O God to Thco I belong, living or dead. May God have, mercy on my soul." Tho arms and legs of the men wero bound in tho meantime, nnd tho whito caps drawn over their faces, when they wcro left alone on the scaffold, and at 10:42 tho sheriff pull ed the rope and the two men swung in midair. TOO LATE. As tho Sheriff pulled tho rope, springing tho trapiinultaneously tho bell at tho prison door rang violently. "'Go and stop that bell ringing," said the Sheriff, addressing nn as sistant. In n minute, while the Sheriff still bent over to wind up tlio ropo to the trup,nn envelope was pushed into his hand. A re presentative of the Advocate was standing by his side. He hurriedly opened the en velope, and found as follows : Haiirisduiiq, Pa., Jan. 14, 1870. To J. 11". Raudcnbuxh, Esq., Sheriff of Carbon County, Mauch Chunk, 1'a. I have respited McDonnell nnd Sharpo until Monday tlio 211th inst. Tlio reprieve will bo forwurded by the next mai!,anil you will suspend execution of your present war rant on receipt ol this telegram. J. F. Hartranft. " My God," said tho Sheriff, sadly gazing at tho suspended bodies ol the two meii.whicli were spinning around ut tho ends of the rones. " this is n reunite: but it is too lain I Too bad, too bad 1" Tlio clamorous voices of tho brothers ot tho two men raised tlio cry " murder! There's the murderer 1" Father Bunco and Ileinan took tho excited calmorers by their shoulders, asking them to bo silent, that the Sheriff was entirely blameless, and had only rformed his duty. Tho bodies wcro placed in neat coffins and delivered to their friends. The nock of both men wcro broken. Drsv De Young and Frwin, and Dr. Arnold, of Hazleton, wero in attendance, and announc ed that McDonnell's pulse had ceased to beat iu ten minutes, aud tho heart stopped in thirteen minutes. Share's pulse beat five or six minutes, aud his heart ceased its pulsation in eight minutes. McDonnell's body hung 27 aud Shaipo's 32 minutes, when they wero cut down. The Sheriff's duty, on such occasions, ot most, is a disagreeable one, aud Sheriff ltaiidenbush, whose kindness of heart and humanity the unfortunatu men with their last breadth cxtoled, feels deeply the unjust assertions mado siuce by some that he hast ened tho execution on purpose. If any jier son is to blame, it is tho Governor, or the prisoner's counsel, in not sending the de sitch earlier. In fact, Shenffltaudeubush has not received Irom Governor Hartranft, a ligitiinato repite,and if he had received the telecram in time, on it alone, ha could onlv havo delayed the execution till two o'clock, p. in. The comments of the daily press on tbi- execution are uncharitable nd untrut. Tho Courts. OirUANS' COUIIT. The. Coirls wore convened bv proclamation on Monday, January 13.

Tho caso of libel, Commonwealth vs. Joe, Lynn, Hobert Klotz, nrosccutor. was brought before the court at tho afternoon session of 'luesdav. Gen. Chas. Albright, E. G. Fox, Esq., of Easton, and District Attorney Siew ers, appeared for the commonwealth, and lion. f . w. iiuelies, ol l'ottsv e. nnd 1". J Median, Esq., appeared as counsel for the ueiense. The lion, gentleman, from rottsville. im- mediately began a legal skirmish on tho lront mat was alarmintr to tho nrosecution. as to the attendance and attaches of tho court who he had honed for a spcedv nro- gross of tho case He made a motion to quash, on the criund that no witness an pcared on tlio indictment that the witnesses on tho back of the warrant wero sworn. After an argument ol an hour, Judge Dreberover ruled the motion. Mr. Hushes then motioned toouash. on an affidavit filed by defendant, that his name was not Joc.but JosenhusLvnn. Com monwealth moved to amend, which being overruled, the District Attorney In a repli cation, betting forth that the defendant was properly known ns Joe, and not Josephus, io m ilieu wic ueiense men a uemurrer, anil a jury was impanelled totrv this technicali ty, and witnesses wero called from different parts of tho county, all of whom swore that iiu is jiopuiiiriy cancu joe, anil not josepn or Josephus. Tlio commonwealth nut in volumious evidence to provo that defendant has answered for years nnd has written his signature io legal itocumcnts, "Joe." Mr. Hughes plead that Joe was a nickname,and that a man cannot bo indicted by his nick name. Defense put in a number of letters and telegrams purporting to have been written by ltobert Klotzjind sicneil Robt. Rob. Cob. and It. Klotz addressed to C. 13. Brockway,as evidence that thnubo of nick names are com nion. Tlio prosecution objected, and tlio oujecuoiis wero sustained, xno ueleuso men put on tho stand a number of expert witnes ses to provo that abbreviation of proper names aro equivalent io tno lull name, anil that certain abbreviations aro nicknames, while used even by the persons themselves. Tho judge charged tho jury that if they find that tho defendant although ho may have been christened Josephus, in after lifo if ho prefers to adopt a different name, and uses it in business bo may he indited by it. On the other hand If they find that the de fendant used the namo "Joe," to indicate an abbreviation, why then it is not his name. A man may,of his own accord, adopt a name dillerent then tho one by which he was christened. If the commonwealth failed to provo that the defendant had adopted the namo " Joo" as his name, they must find a verdict for tho defendant. If on tho other hand they find ho had adopted the namo by his own actSjthcy must find for the common wealth. Tho caso was given to the jury at 5:50 p. m., and their verdict was for defendant, set ting forth that defendant's name is Joseriii's Lynx, and not Joe. Thus tho indictment is quashed, and commonwealth bring n new indictment against Josephus Lynn. Grand jury find true bill. The case was called nt tho afternoon session of Thursday, but ns certain "oral and documentary" cvidenco iu behalf of defendent, had "fold their tents liko the Arabs, and as silently stolo uway," and besides senior counsel had imparativo business in Schuylkill county j and there lore defendant prayed that tho caso bo con tinued, wliich tho Court granted setting tho caso for Friil.iv nfternonn. Tho Court tlien proceeded to the trial of tne iour young men implicated In tlio re cent burglaries in Wcatlierly and Beaver Meadow, holding a night session, in order to retrieve, if possible, time lost by tho exe cution on Tuesday, and tho misnomer case.

At the annual meeting of stockholders of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company Monday afternoon, Trcsidcnt Gowen read tho annual report, wliich show ed that tho railroad receipts during thoycar wero $Il,53!,502,80 j total canal receipts, $1,010,337,30; receipts from steam colliers, $680,100,61, making tho total receipts $13, 230,121.

After thepay ment of interest, tho cash deficit charged to profit and loss account is $S24,050,94. The report alludes to tho failure of renewing the comiuct between tho coal companies, and enumerates, among the injuries to the com pany by tho cxlstenco of tho combination, tho incrcaso in the cost of mining, tho de crease in traffic, accidents from mining, owing to tho frequent suspensions, the idle ness of minors leading to dissatisfaction, and tho failure to realize increased prices com mensurate with the restricted production. Tlio consumption of the surplus ooal nn the market is mentioned as the principal bene fit of the combination. Tlio January in terest was paid and tlio deficit overcome by issuing scrip to employee for threo months wage due them, which wcro accepted, ond virtually constitutes a loan to the conijuny.

The outlook of the anthracite coat trade has not developed much since our last re port. The week ha been a good one for tho coal trade. The weather has been very cold for tho greater part of the past fort night, thus materially Increasing tho do- mnno for fuel and stiffening its price, It has, however, been bad for transportation, the roadways In many places being blocked by snow and Ico, Orders for coal are c knowlcdgcd In good supply, and If the pre sent weather holds an actiro movement for tho commodity is near nt hand. Tho long mooted question nf a combination in tho trade for 1870 is cons;dcred Kttlcd in the negative. Thero is no probability in tlio present that thero will be one, niitf this be ing generally assumed as a fact, the uffcclof ireo iratte in tno coal traiuo lor tne year Is coming to bo accepted as less disastrous than was feared lost month It would be. The year 1878 opened with an estimated stock of three millions of tonson hand. Thisycarof 1S70 opens with an unusually ban market, so that If it Is admitted that uo moro coal should bo required during the present year than thero was last it still follows that a much larger amount of coal will lmyo to bo handled ond marketed. Intelligent parties In the ooal trado estimate that somo li.rco millions to four millions tons moro of col I will bo reported marketed this j'carthatl were last year. This amount, added to the eighteen millions ortons reported through tho combination in 1878, will givo pretty full employment to all tho several companies, and full employment will encourage tho trado to hold for fair prices for coal in the market, wliich of courso includes a good paying business to tho coal carrying com panies. Some two or threo of thoso com panies at Now York, which had threatened in advance unrelenting war on the other companies in tlio trade, we now hear think better of it, and will probably accept tho situation and deterinino to make the best of it. Tho outlook has certainly improved, and the present compared with corresponding timo tusb jeur is reany encouraging, ue sides tho grcatoramouutof coal to bo mined ana used tliisycnr, there is tho resulting nd vantage of last year's combination, remune rative prices. Consumers have been edu cated up to a knowlcdce of the fact that coal in tho market is wortli somo twenty to twenty-five per cent more per ton than it was in 1370-77 sold for to consumers, to the bankruptcy of even n greater percenlogo of mo irnue at mat nine, li tno trade will now movo cautiously and prudently each party during tho year may find a market for nearly or quite as much coal as It can fur nish, nnd at prices fairly remunerative.
