resided several mouths.Pete Gates is BUjieriutoiHiiug the work of mine of the Gunnison Mining aud Exchange Company of this city, which is in Treasure Mountain, Gunuisou County, Colorado.The great

overcoat belonging to one of the men, and a gunny sack filled with clothing, and all strain hhI together on his back, all i.i \u201c apple-pie\" order, and then\u2014 \u201c 1 fell over tiie cliff on my way down.1 intended it to be my last trip for Several months, but it came near lieing my last iu fact.I had gotten 100 feet aliovo the cabin when a snow-slide turned loose, knocking mo instantly from the trail.For the first 400 or 500 feet I struck tiie grouud but four or Cvo times\u2014aud my last fall from the top of n precipice to its bottom was aliout 1\u2019JO feet.It seems incredible that 1 could have tumbled down three Kuecossivo precipices without being killed ; but everything was in my favor.The pack 1 was carrying and tho snow which I went down with helped break my fall.1 am badly bruised about the hips anil body, but with rest aud a lower altitudo tho doctor thinks I will come out all right in a mouth or so.\u201d The letter was written at Crested Butte.Mr.Doe says that to one who lias seen the place of this accident, Peter's escape is a piece of luck that may lie termed miraculous.The cliff which Peter was swept from has an almost perpendicular height of 1,000 feet from the bottom ot the precipice, and it was tho groat masses of snow w hich had accumulated on its sides that broke Peter's fail every UK) feet, and then went on down with him to tho next one.In January last a man was swept off the trail by an avalanche in a similar manner, and dropped into tho abyss I.

William Rogers, Alonzo Todd, Joseph L.Taylor, Eaton ; Carlos Ayer, Milton J.Bachelder, Ephraim S.Hodges, Wright Hovey, Alfred Ives, George W.Kezar, Hatley ; Hiram Nichols, Hereford ; M.Mallory, Newell Hawse, Lenuoxville; James Taylor, Magog; John P.Sallup, Melbourne; Ebenezer Learned, Newport : Frederick Beckett, Oxford ; Jos.Bedard, George Barlow, Narcisse Noel, Richmond ; Charles Lawton, George Bachelder, Stanstead.His Honor then proceeded to deliver his CHARGE.to the Grand Jury.He said it had often occurred within their recollection and his own that the presiding judge in this Court had had the pleasant duty to perform of congratulating the Grand Jury and the District on the absence of serious crime ; but on the present occasion he could not do so.The charges which they would be called upon to investigate were not large in number, but they wete of a most grave character.They included two charges of murder,\u2014a dreadful crime uuknown in this district till within the last eighteen months ;\u2014 and both charges were against a wo man who in one case was alleged to have poisoned a man boarding with her, and in the other case her own husband, whom she had sworn to love, honor, and obey.This was a most serious crime ; and if guilty she must ho a very frond in human shape.But the very heinousness of the crime should render them very careful iu considering the case.In the first place, before finding a True Bill they must be satisfied that the deceased person really died from poison, and secondly that it was administered to him for the purpose of poisoning him ; and then they must be satisfied that the circumstances point to her in such a marked manner that they consider it right to put her on trial.If such was the case they were to find a True Bill, if not, a No Bill.They were not to try her ; but only to put her on her trial, if the circumstances that would be given to them pointed to her as implicated ; and then not on light evidence.One of the best authors on the subject had pointed out the Grand Jury\u2019s duty in a single sentence\u2014\u201cThe better opinion is that a True Bill should bo found upon probable evidence, and it should not bo required that the evidence necessary to convict before a Petty Jury should be adduced.\u201d There were other crimes to be brought under their notice.Formerly men demanded money from waiifarers ; and this, though highway robbery, had some manliness iu it; but now money and property was obtained by fraud.If there were any men who did so in this district he trusted they would receive such a lesson as would induce them to remove to some other sphere.He thought it unnecessary to refer particularly to the other charges that would come before them ; and as he knew man)\u2019 of them to have been connected with grand juries before, ho would not enlarge on their duties.It was for them to determine in each case whether a True Bill should be found; and at least twelve of them must concur in doing so.The two grand requisites iu the performance of their duties were Secrecy and Impartiality, and ho was satisfied they would perform their duty in both those respects.The Grand Jury then withdrew.During the morning they came into Court with the following TRUE BILLS.John II.Craig,alias Morgan, alias 1 lenry Wright\u2014Forgery.MiciiYEL Davy, ) , Miles Shannon, )\tJ And the Court shortly afterwards adjourned.The Hon.Mr.Masson has de finitely accepted the office of Lieut.Governor of this province.Ho will not assume the office till the 26th inst.when Lieut.-Gov.Robitailie\u2019s term expires.0»?\u2019 C.S, White is selling goods very cheap call and see him.Personals.Mr.Geo.Bachelder of Stanstead, who is down here as one of the Grand Jurors, gave us a call tids week.We are glad to see Mr.Thos Hart of Richmond, able to attend as foreman of the Grand Jury.Mrs.Captain Antrohus left last week for Regina N.W.T.to join her husband, Capt.Antrohus of the N.W.Mounted Police.Capt.Antrohus has been requested by Lieut.Gov.Dewdney to remain at the Capital for a while instead of Battleford where he had been stationed.A.O.Granger, Esq., of Philadelphia, was in town yesterday.Capt.A.N.Worthington left for Montreal this morning to continue ids study of medicine at McGill University.Mr.Arthur Fraser l«ft yesterday for Montreal to take a position in tiie Medical Hall, and to attend the winter lectures for Chemist and Druggist.Dr.S.B BiitUn says: \u201c As a rule physicians do not by their professional methods build up the female constitution and they seldom cure the diseases to which it is always liable in our variable climate and under our imperfect civilization, Special remedies are often required to restore organic harmony and to strengthen the enfeebled powers of womanhood and for most of these wc are indebted to persons outside of the medical profession.Among the very best of these remedies I assign a prominent place to Mrs.Piukham\u2019s Vegetable Compound.How to enjoy good food that would otherwise cause billious, headache, disordered stomach, poisoned blood, &c., use Golden Fruit Bitters and FruitLiver Pills.\t2w7 Why We Recomend the \"Sun Life Insurance Co.\u201d for Patronage.The Sun lias not one contested or disputed claim in its books.The Sun is a Home Company, investing all its funds in Canada, and has thus a special claim on Canadian Assurers.It is a strong and prosperous Company with large and well invested assets.Its rates are low and its profits to Policy-holders large and equitably divided.The Sun alone issues an absolutely Unconditional Policy.Great care is taken in the selection of risks, but when a policy is once issued the money is paid on simple proof of the death of the Assured, no matter how, or when, or where.The only condition Is the payment of premiums.\t4w3.On Thursday morning, John II.Craig, alias Morgan, alias Henry Wright, was arraigned.J.S.Broderick, Esq., counsel for the accused, demurred to the indictment, which he contended disclosed no offence known to the law.He held that the offence of forging a cheque »vas nowhere specified in the statute law, citing Section 10 of the Forgery Act in proof ; and ho maintained that there was equally no crime, without fraudulent intent, under the common law.Ho therefore moved that tho accused, who had been imprisoned since June last, bo forthwith liberated.Mr.White, for tho Crown,stated that tho offence diil not come under Section 16 of tho Forger) Act.It was not pro-tended that this was a \u2018\u2018bank note\u201d within tho meaning of that Act.It was a bogus cheque by a fictitious person.Ho admitted that there was some difficulty in tho case; but, knowing a question would arise, the indictment had been framed especially to meet it ; and ho contended that tho having a forged document in possession was an offence under the common law.Ho cited Russell (on Forgery) in proof of this position.Mr.Broderick cited Judge Taschereau\u2019s opinion that it is doubtful if there is any forgery at common law.The Court stated that the question was whether tho having possession of a forged document was an offence at common law.Mr.Broderick said tho indictment should have alleged an intent to defraud.And Mr.White concluded the argument by pointing out that Judge Taschereau was careful not to pronounce the opinion that, because tho statutes specified certain offences as forgery, there was therefore no crime of forgery at common law.The demurrer was taken en délibéré by His Honor, who at the opening of this morning\u2019s session in a lengthy judgment sustained the demurrer, and ordered the discharge of the accused.Immediately on being discharged Craig was arrestsd by officers from Montreal.His wife was present in Court, and was much affected by this second arrest.During the morning tho trial of Michael Davy, of Ascot, and Miles Shannon, late of Hatley, for larceny of watch valued at five dollars, from one Peter Neault, farmer, of Ascot, was proceeded with.J.L.Terrill and J.S.Broderick appeared for Davy, and J.A.Camirand for Sjptnnon.It appeared from the evidence that the private prosecutor and both the accused were drinking together at the Continental Hotel.In the course of conversation they got to comparing the relative values of their watches, and the prosecutor lost his, passing it to some one in the direction of Shannon.As he could not find it and the accused denied having it, he made a charge to High-Constable Loomis, who interviewed the prisoners,finding them at Morency\u2019s.Being asked about the watch, Davy acknowledged he had heard something about it, and Shannon told Davy he had better give it up : whereupon the latter took it out of a pocket where he had placed it, and surrendered it.They were then imprisoned on a charge of stealing it.The jury having been addressed by counsel for the accused, and by Mr.Belanger for the Crown, and His Honor the Judge having summel up, the jury retired, and after an absence of a few minutes returned into Court with a verdict of guilty.Before the Court rose tho private prosecutor, Peter Neault, was reprimanded by the Court for not being in attendance in the morning when the case was commenced ; by which some two hours of time had been wasted.In consideration, however, of tho circumstances of the delinquent, His Honor did not, as usual, impose a fine upon him, but to punish him somewhat, ordered that he should not be paid for his attendance as a witness.Tho Grand Jury came into Court with tho folleaving NO BILLS.James II.Leonard, ) .\t., wii-\t«\tI Aggravated William\t\u2018\tv 00 i assault.)

Wellington Ward, a fortnight later.The Grand Jury were then discharged.The accused on being arraigned pleaded Not Guilty to both charges.S.B.Sanborn, Esq., who appeared for the accused, made application for postponement of the trial of tho first case, on the ground that a material witness in the case, Maggie Lothrop (sister of tho accused) is now a patient in tho Montreal Lying In Hospital awaiting and on tho point of her confinement.Mr.White, for tho Crown, opposed the application on tho groundjlhat the witness mentioned was absent from Capelton when Rothwell died, and therefore was not a material witness in this case.Mr.Sanborn contended that she was a material witness, inasmuch as she could prove the preparation of the meals on the day Rothwell died.In the second case (the charge of poisoning her husband) Mr.Sanborn stated they were ready to proceed at once.But Mr.White, for the Crown, said he would prefer to take the cases in the order in which they occurred, and he would, therefore, before consenting await His Honor\u2019s decision on the point of deferring the first trial.His Honor, after deliberation of tho circumstances, granted the application for a postponement of the trial of ihe first case till March next; and thereupon Mr.White stated his readiness to proceed with tho second trial.This trial, therefore, is now proceeding.*- East Bolton.L

- \u2014- ' WEEKLY EXAMINEE, SHERBEOOKE, P.Q\u201e FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1884.\u2019 I ^f#h Huthaway* Shakespeare\u2019s marriage with the pif*.^id and commonplace Ana Hathaway, i-nd sho was several year» older than himself to boot, seems us rtmt sight as unsuitable as that ul hums wiui his \u201c Bonny Jean.\" Ann was \"sonsy,\"as they say in Scotland, and good-natured ; and the union was far from an unhappy one for the poet, as it was probably a very fortunate match for posterity.Had he l>ecn caught by some rustic siren who could have made cages as well as nets, he might never have como to trouble with his Justice Shallow, and might have realized a decent competency in the Stratford wool trade.As it was, bo bad broken l>ounds for a time before bis genius rose soaring into the infinite.But few men have apparently been more indifferent to fame, although it is conceivable that tho seeming indifference may have been born of serene self-assurance.Certain it is that he scarcely gave a second thought to the offspring of his brain when they bad Vapidly taken shape under his Hying fingers ; be left the capital, when in the full Hush of his fame, to come back contentedly to comparative obscurity in Stratford.And if bis wife bad something to forgive sho forgave it very freely, and we have no doubt made bin» very comfortable in his maturity.William Howitt has read in the Sonnets a very pretty and poetical story of Shakespeare\u2019s vie intime and conjugal relations.How far it may bo fanciful, we cauuot say; but we are inclined to think there must have beeu more in Aim Hathaway than most of her husband\u2019s biographers have believed.It is unlikely on tho face of it that Shakespeare should have married a woman whose soul did not ring responsively to some of the finer chords of his own.We Mi-pcct that in her fresh bloom and simple modesty, as in the sweetness of the homely fragrance she diffused, she resembled one of those old-fashioned garden flowers, the dreamer of tho \u201c Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream \u201d loved so dearly.And if it were so, the happiest evenings of his life may have beeu those ho passed with Ann at Shottery.Marriage in a Cavern.For many years we have heard of marriages in balloons, but it has remained for a Pennsylvania couple to utilize the caverns of the earth as the place in which to take their final vows.The caves of Luray attract many thousands of visitors, and recently a party of tourists while iu the cave learned that two of their number, who had long been hovering on the edge of matrimony, had determined to he wedded then and there.A large opening in the cave was selected as the chancel, the nave being formed by a vast arching passage tilled with columns and impending stalactites.Torches were planted at available points, and the whole interior of this natural cathedral was soon ablaze with flashing lights.'Hie solemn service seemed even more impressive under tho strange, weird surroundings.The responses, though quite low, were caught up and echoed far away iu the dim vistas, as though ghostly witnesses were rep ating the testimonies of the vows.If either of the parties are superstitious, the influence of the strange beginning of their married life may not bo a pleasant one.Meute Christo\u2019s Purse.Alexandre Dumas, the writer of tho fascinating novel, \u201c Monte Christo,\u201d himself spent the millions of Edmund Dantes.But it was not on an island that he found his money ; he waved his magic pen and gold and silver flowed from the inkpot that stood upon his work-table.He gained immense sums ami yet his creditors were called legion.Friends and enemies, fine ladies and fast women, shop-girls and actresses\u2014 everybody lived upon him that could possibly do so.Gold poured in streams from his fingers\u2019 tips and yet he was often without a penny in the world.One day he called at the house of a friend to borrow sufficient money to fill his empty stomach.Monsieur v.as out, hut madame was at home, and to her Dumas related his sad plight.He only asked for a hundred sous, hut she made him accept a louis.\u201c Here, run after him with these nice apples,\u201d said she to her Ji mme dr chunthre after he had left the house.Tho girl caught up with him and handed him the apples with madame\u2019s compliments.\u201c Damme, but you are a pretty girl,\u201d said he, chucking her under the chin, and then he handed the servant the gold piece which he had just borrowed.Holiday Gifts.Don\u2019t put off your purchases until the last moment, hut commence your pi, \u2022-nit duty iu good season.Ncxttothc happiness of the children tho chief delight of Christmas probably is the buying of presents.Not the purchase so much as the search for what will please.¦'¦\u201cTf is not the amount of money spent, hut the amountof thoughtful care which you bestow on the selection.A pretty book, or a modest pin, a little graceful addition to the wardrobe, or a little parlor ornament, something that with prettv form combines practical useful-m -, will oftentimes win genuine thankfulness as easily as a costly diamond or a pair of shining bracelets.It is rot easy to buyChristmasgifts,andnotevery one can make proper selections.Many a man and imwiy a woman, who does not need to count the shillings, is often in a quandary, when confronting the wealth of the stores, and says iu capricious jietulance : \u201c If I only knew what to get for mother, brother, sister,\u201d as the case may happen to be.Christinas shopping, therefore, should not he the work of a moment or an hour, at least with those who have more than one beloved one to provide for and have the means to care for all.You should have your eyes open all the time and when you see any pretty, portable and presentable objects, you should hear iu mind that these are the very things which you will want, when the day comes along, and secure them at once.A man named Clements, some time ago hostler at the Commercial hotel, St.George, has como into a fortune of $1,000,000 by the death of a Now York friend.Popping The Question.A rather fast yi annored of a prt-tf i make her an eff^r < all ho was worth\u2014 iridulg.'d in some !ovu the lady beioir so far her manner toward* h He attiibnted thi* for it never occurred t< in love with him.He cautiously pr< I with a few questions, 1 tion of-\u2018throwing him-Did she love him v a cottage with him ?and washer ?Did she to make home happy ?ig mar hecoming en-rirl, finally decided to ills hand and heart\u2014 1 th-n he hoped to he \u2022r like demonstrations, ir - oolly indifferent in - to maidenly reserve, to him that she was not faced his declaration fur he had no inten-elf away.\u201d \u2022-11 enangh to live in Was she a good cook think it a wife\u2019s duty Would she consult his tastes and wishes concerning her associates and pursuits in life?Was she economical ?Could she make her own clothes, Ac.The young lady said that before she answered his quest inns she would assure him of some negative virtues she possessed.She never drank or smoked ; never owed a hill to her laundress or tailor, never stayed out all night playing hilliards; never lounged on the pier ar.d ogled giddy girls ; never indulged in wine suppers.\u2022Now,\u2019 said she, rising indignantly, \u2018f am assured by those who know that you do all these things, and ii i* rather absurd for you to expect all the virtues in me while you do not possess any of them yourself.I can never he your wife.\u2019 And she bowed him out and left him on * the door step, a madder if not a wiser man.COUNTY OF STANSTEAD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.ANNUAL EXHIBITION HELD AT AVER\u2019S FLAT, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH.PRIZE LIST: Prizes awarded U| on faims and their products in the severalTownships in the County ol Staustcail in 1884 : On Farms inllatlcy\u2014GardnerMorse 1, M J Bachelder 2, \u2022!
