and he had enough respect for that gentloman to believe that he would afterwards regret what ho was now doing.lle (Mr Scott) had already mado a plain statemeut of tho facts to the House, and he would now do no moro than again center his protest against the passage of this Bill, which was an insult to the minority in this Province and to one-half of tho people of tho Dominion.Mr Deacon defended the objects of the Bill, which he said were merely for the pur.poso of giving to Orangemen greater facilities for transacting businoss than they now ossessod,and not for the purpose of establishing the order in the country.That was ul.ready done, and could not be done away with.lo would remind tho opposers of this Bill that the Orangemen did not intend to insult Catholics ; that Protestantism itself with a standing protest to (\u2018atholicism, and that 1t was best that both should « agree to disagree\u201d on this subject of religion.Orangemen asked no rights or privilegos for themselves which they were not willing to grant to others.lo disavowed any intention to endeavour to throw a hombshell into the Ministerial camp.Mr MAMILTON thought there should be some gencral Act under which this and other similar organizations could bo incorporated.lle did not, however, think that the intention of tho present Bill was to encroach in any way on the rights of the Catholics of the country, and therefore he would support it.Mr Dawson said that he could see no analogy between the pre®nt Hill and those incorporating such institutions as the Wilberforce and Christian Brothers\u2019 Schools.Those institutions were scholastic in their nature, and their rules were open to all, bat not so the institution now sought to incorporate.He disagreed with the remarks made the other day by the member for Kast Toronto when the Orange Bill was up for discussion, that gentloman having tried to make it appear that the Catholics were more illiberal than the Orangemen, because a Bill incorporating the Christian Brothers\u2019 School passed the Committeo without dis sent, while tho Orango Bill had beon opposed.That gentleman bad failed, however, in showing that there was any similarity between the institutions, one being a scholastic one, open to the general public, and the other a secret order.lle remembered that when the member for East Toronto was in the City Council here he brought in a Bill, or was a party to it, the object of which was to keep men out of the police who belonged to any sccrot order; and if such men were not fit to rotect the peace of this little city, how could they do so for the whole Province ?If the member for East Toronto was right then he must be wrong now.Ho (the speaker) deprecated anything that would stir up strifo between the religious sects in this Province, and for 4 jority in a case like this.\u2014 1873.glonists.fouso to the fact that the Christian Brothers\u2019 Bill and tho Father Matthow Bill had beon introduced before tho Orange Bills, but bad certainly not been sandwiched in Private Bills Committee.retically considered, there was nothing wrong in the Bill; bat he opposed it because the Protestants were in a largo majority, and it atfoctod tho foolings of the minority, therefore it would only be magnanimous on the part of the majority to yield to tho wishes of the minority.It was a small matter to a minority of the Protos.tants under whoso auspices the Bill was brought forward, whethor it was passed or not, for it only gave them power of convoy- ancing, ind thus, while it was a small matter to them it was not so to tho Catholics, and it would only bo generous for tho ma.Mr McCALL was in favour of the Bill, and denid that the Orango Institution was political, fora large number of the members wero Roformers, Ho thought it showed illiberality of spirit to oppose the measure.He romombered that some years ago the old Parliament of Canada naturalized and protected the Jesuits, who were turned out of Franco, and who were well known to bo onemies of free institutions.That was magnanimous ; and it would only bo right to let the present Bill pass, because it would do no harm to any sect ; if it would ho should not voto fur it, ns ho believed in pro- tocting the weak ngninst tho strong.Mr BoULTER did not think tho Bill was a stigma on Catholies or was intonded ns such, and compared the Orange onth with the Coronation oath to show the similarity.Ho respocted the Catholic denomination, and intended to offer no insult to them.Attornoy-Gienoral Mowar said that at present the Orango Society held real ostate by trustees, and the offect of an Act of Incorporation would be to enablo them to do thomsolves what they already had a right todo by trustees.Tho Government would bo prepared to bring in a general Inw on the subject affocting all societies which wero not illegal, if that would meet the views of all parties ; but it would seem that neither party interested in the Bill now undor discussion would ho matistiol with tho general law.Mr BouLTREE said he had voted for the secommittal of one of these Orange Bills to the Privato Bills Committeo because he did not see why ono Bill should bo treated differently from another, Ile did not then, nor did lio now, withdraw his opinion to the principles of theso Bills.Ile regretted that those Bills had been introduced, and many leading Orangemen also regretted it.lo trusted that no further acrimonious dobate would bo indulged in by hon members on this subject.Mr Deseos repudiated tho charge that any acrimony had been shown on tho part of the supporters of the Bill.Mr Woon (Vietorin) said that the Christian Brothers Bill had been brought before the Private Bills Committee in its propor order, as fir us he knew.Mr Fraser said ho had never intended to impute any blame to the hon member.Mr Woop accepted the explanation, and continued to say that he could rece no reason why the Orange Incorporation Hill shauld not bo pa-sed.In his own Riding, the Catholics comprised fully a fourth of his constituents, and there was the greatest amity between them und their Protestant fellow- citizens.He should, therefore, bo very sorry that anything should be done to disturb in the slightest degree the amicable fecling that existed between the Catholies and Protestants in the Province.An for the Bill now before the Mouse, he could not seo that anything unreasonable was asked for ; and ho had made up his mind to vote for it.A division was then taken on the motion for the second reading of the Bill, which was carried on the following division :\u2014 Mo called tho attention of the, between them on the ordor of the day in the borne out yestonday b The Crnmnn Glraner $1.50 A-YEAR.The annual show of stallions held under the auspices ot the tilnsgow Agrioultural , Socioty was held on Wednosday in the Cat tlo Market, Glaagow.It in interesting to note at tho present timo when so much is being said and written in regand to the scar city of Mornos in Great Britain, that this is Mr WeLts said that logically and thoo-!tho largest oxhibition of entire draught horses hold in the kingdom; and shat on the prosont occasion there aro more horses forward than in nny previous year.The number of entries on Wodnoeday was 81, comparod with 54 in 1872, 63 in 1871, and 30 in 1870.Originally established für the purpose of onabling the Glasgow Agricultural Society to select a good stallion to tra vol their district, 1t has gradually grown in dimensions, as provincial societies in all parts of tho country adopted the practice of sending doputations to Glasgow to make choico of a horse tor their respective looali- ties.In this way unoarly L800 wore competed for in direct promiums\u2014a sum which of itsolf ought to encourage tho rearing of first-class stock.As it was the lnrgost, so the show of yesterday may bo considored the best ever hold by the Weetorn Society.True, thero were many horses of\u2019 indifferent quality stalled, but a large proportion of the four' score were above the average, and a few wore all that could be desired as ontire draught horses.It was Inst yenr n auhjoot of great complaint, not in Clydosdalo only, but all over the country, that too much of the best blood in Scotland had been bought up by foreigners and colonists and withdrawn from tho country.This was tho fact thal fow agrod stallions wore oxhibited ;

The bill also contained full and elaborate clauses with respect to bribery and corruption, and the House would find it as stringent against bribery and corrupt practices as any act they would find.It was drawn with the idea that there would be open voting.The question of the ballot he knew would come betore the House as a substantial motion.If it was the will of Parliament that the system of secret voting by ballot should be adopted it could be applied without difficulty to his bill.r MACKENZIE\u2014How about the appointment ot returning officers ?Sir J.A.MacponALD\u2014The power is still left with the general Government.Mr MACKENZIE was glad the hon.gentleman, the leader of the Government, had become converted to what was so strongly urged in the last Parliament, on a late occa- sion\u2014namely, all elections being held on one day.That undoubtedly would be a great improvement, and, like some other concessions, had been made by the hon.gen- tieman for reasons very obvious at the present time.It would be very objectionable that Parliament should leave it in the hands of the Government to constitute a high Court to deal with voting lists.He should Prefer the present system being maintained.o criticised the action of the Government respecting the appointment of returning officers for the last elections, and urged tbat these officers should be kept as much as sible from Government influence.He (Mc- Kensie) went on to say that the leader of the Government had been driven during the whole of his political life, indeed he was rapidly casting aside his old errors and ho would probably become a Reformer in the end.Though the Opposition Was not stron, enough to do some things, yet they at al events acted their part as political schoolmasters to the right

that the efforts of the gentlemen of the opposition to defeat the Government wero mado with the deliberate intention of refusing to organize a Cabinet if it should be required of them, but the summary

actually tottored as he stood pinioned, ready for execution.At that moment the Sheriff pussed quietly by, Dr Tyng whispering a word or-tyyo, and, as he stepped behind Foster, spoke to him en: couragingly in an undertone.Foster straightoned his body, drew his hand from bis eyes, and nerved himself for what he knew was soon coming.Tho ministers, baving concluded the prayers, bade Foster farewell and hurried from tho gallows, both evidently unablo to endure tho final scene, leaving the condemned in the hands of the Sheriff.A neatly-dressed young man who had been standing aside, stopped up and arranged tho nooso and pulled down the cap, thus shutting out tho world from Foster's vision.Scarcely had the executionor stepped backwards than the Sheriff dropped his staff upon tho pavement as a signal, and tho next instant tho body of the murderer dangled in the air.A convulsive motion was then discernable, but that was all, for, with the excoption of a slight movement of the fingers of the left hand, no outward ovi- dence of a struggle was manifested.The medica] men summoned to assist Dr Nealis, the prison physician, examined the pulse after the body had besn suspended a

the actual decrense js, Thousands of Canadians have left both counties to work in the States, yet as they have not relinquished their domicile in Canada, though P| very few of thom will ever return to reside permanently, they are all put down.From what wo personally know of the proportion of absontcos, Wa do not think it would be too much to say thet Chatenuguny in those 9 yoars has'lost 3000 of its population and Beaubarnois 2000.The emigration is not by fits and starts ; it is constant; now a member of a family going, again one or two families.The efflux is so steady that we think little of it as wo seo it going on.It is only whon the total is made up for a series of yoars that we por ceivo how serious the loss is.That tho loss is real no farmer need be told, for in har.vost time, where, in the parishes, dozens of men could be hired twelve years ago, it is difficult now to get one.In Chatoauguay, new land to bo bought and reclaimed.THE CANADIAN GLEANER is publish- to improve their condition which led them to leave Britain, incitos many of them Lo go West.That à percontage of the rising gon- eration should leave is, in fact, requisite.Farming is an occupation which, from its very nature, needs territory.Only a certain number can subsist in comfort on a certain area, and the overplus must sook homes elsowhere.We do not, therefore, regard the leaving of those who design to take up land in other quarters, as anything to be regretted.The tendency, besides, is to increase the size of farms ; there being now more farmers who own over a hundred acres than there wero twonty years ago.Despite the increasing difficulty in securing help, this tendency to cnlarge the farms will continuo to work.Apart from these two natural causes of emigration, we come to what is the greatest of all, that which is draining the District of tho youngest and most enterprising element of its population, the undoubted fact that tho labor-market is better elsewhere than in this section.If a young man sees that he can earn larger wages by removing to another quarter, that he can find moro inviting openings and brighter prospects of realising an independence, ho will not stay at home.Why this should be so, why a tradesman cannot earn as good wages liere as in sections no more fertile or otherwise naturally favorable, is something those opposed to the railroad \u2018would oblige us by explaining.Our explanation is, that for want of such a spoedy, certain, and cheap means of communication as n railroad alone can give us; no manu- | facturing buginess which draws its supplies from or depends on customers outside the county, can be profitably carried on, if indeed it can be carried on at all, the consequence being that what industries we have are only such as aro indispensable for local wents and which give employment to a mere fraction of our youth.Whoever among us proves to bo a skilful tradesman, or a man of push aud foresight, finds no figld for his capital or abilities, and therefore goes elsewhere.We have fallen behind in the race of progress, wo lack the modern essential of prosperity, and it is as hopeless for us to compote with tho rest of the country with our present resources, as for a farmer vsing the £cytho ta expect ta prasper as his hoigh- bor who possesses a mower.Wo can only retain our population by making our county the equal in tho advantages it offers of those to the south and west of us.If we will not, or cannot, do this, we may vely on it, that overy succeeding census will show a decrease of population\u2014that the emigration of our youth will become chronic.In a future number we will give the figures rolating Lo the changes in the proportions of the different nationalities, and more particularly of the decrease of those born in the Old Country.For a number cf years past capital punishment had fallen inte almost total disuse among our neighbors.An orroncous con- osption of mercy lod juries to either acquit or return modified verdicts, and even when a murderer was sentenced to be hung, the Executive interfered and commuted the sentence.To such a degree has this leniency been shown, that, in New York State especially, it has been a common remark that it was impassible to get à capital son- tence carried out.The extraordinary series of murders, however, which have transpired during the past couple of years have caused a revulsion of sentiment, and the feeling now is that whoever slays his fellow-man should suffer that penalty which divine law and reason alike toll us is alone commensurate.Indeed, had it not been for the tenderness with which murderers wore treated, it is unlikely thero would have been sich a sacrifice of life, such a rampant manifestation of reckless rowdyism as our neighbors have had to deplore.Tho execution of Foster at New York on Friday was in every way a test case, Nearly two years ago, on tho night of the 26th April, 1871, Fostor got on one of the street-cars, Among tho passengers was a merchant, named Putnam, who had under his charge \u2018two Jadies\u2014g mother and her daughter.Foster, who was drunk enough to be lost to all sense of propriety, insulted the young lady by his looks and gestures, when Mr Putnam remonstrated with him.Foster thereupon grew indignant and demanded how far Putnam was going.Mr Putnam, who acted with much\u2019 forbearance and as became a gentleman, made no reply to Foster's insolonce, wha exclaimed, «\u201c Well, I am going as far as you, and when yon go out I will give you hell.\u201d The ruffian then went on the platform, and securing & car-hook watched until his victim should go out.When tho car reached the point where Mr Putnam wished to alight, it halted, and while in tho act of handing out the ladies, Foster came up behind Mr Putnam and struck him two terrible blows on the head, crushing his skull.A more wanton murder never was, yot, in.yers do more for a criminal than in New| The causes of omigration among

commute the sentence, and in this, Dr Tyng and many equally reputable persons lent their aid.To his credit Governor Dix stood firm, and a man whom New Yorkers feared would never be hung, has met his fate.It is bolieved that thi, stern enforcemont of the.law is a prelude of what is to follow, and that the numerous murderers now awaiting trial in New York will be dealt with in a similar way\u2014that no legal chicanery, no absurd verdicts of insanity, no interforenco of political infly.ence will, for some timo, at loast, enable any scoundrel to escape.Tue tragical nature of the fire at st James's Iotel has left a deep impression on the people of Montreal, and offectually roused them to see to the providing of means fur saving life in like circumstances.On Satyr.day a meeting was held of the citizens, who passed resolutions condemning the present state of their Fire Brigade, and calling on the Council to make it efficient.\"There have been no mere deaths, and all injurcy are now in a fair way of recovery.THE constitutional crisis in Britain las onded in a manner which could not have been anticipated when Mr Gladstono resigned.Aftor a prolonged effort, the Tories have had to confess their inability to form a Ministry which would command the support of the country, and so the Queen hug had to request the old Cabinet to continue to hold the reins of power.A more complete canfession of weaknoss on the part of the Tories, and of the strength of the Liberals, could not be desired, and Mr Gladstone must foel his position in every way strongthoned by this curious incident in parliamentary oxperience.What will be done about the Irish University bill, which caused ail the trouble, tho telegraph dacs not say, but we should think the Catholics will bo as much disappointed as the Tories by the turn events have taken, and that now Mr Gladstone will be less conciliatory, less disposed to entertain their monstrous pretensions than he was three weoks aga.PT « TEMPERANCE AND HOTELS.\u201d To the Editor of the Gleaner : Sir,\u2014Allow us to lay before your readers a simple statement of facts connected with the subject of a communication, under the above cuption, in your last issue.1Iad your Correspondent informed himself on the sub.joet, as he easily might have done, wo are porsuadad the communication would not ave been written, and the temperance men of this village would have heen\u201d spared thc harsh and unjust charge of pusilanimity.\u201d The facts are these :\u2014Previous to any steps being taken to petition the Council, the whole question of Hotel accommodation was carefully considored.It was seen that the present Motel-kecpers might do, for a purpose, what your correspondent, so op- portuncly for them, suggests, viz : « strike.\u201d \u2018The Division of the S.of T.then resolved to provide, if nocossary, a hausa of public entortainment.You will note that from the commencement the temperance men have acted as generously toward the present Hotel-kcepers as the good of the community could at all war- vant.Thero was no disposition to start a rival establishment, but, on the contrary one of the parties was informed of what wa being done, and she was asked, it the \"Licenses wero not given, would she keap open her house for the public ÿ Ier answèr was understood to be that she would do so.This has been publicly denied ; we leave that denial to be dealt with by the parties concerned.And since the action of the Council in granting the prayor of the Petition, deputations have waited upon both tavernkecpers and have offered each a liberal indemnity for the stoppage of the sale of liquors.The said offer was, in both cases declined.\u2018l\u2019eoling that we have dono ever, more than strict justice required, tho responsibility for any losses which the said persons may sustain lies at the door of their own wilfulness.Wo have been surprised that some, who were perfectly aware that a Temperance Hotel will not be necded until the first of May, have taken it for granted that, because there is not one now in existence, that, therefore, none will be provided.In conclusion, we beg to state that a bona fide offer to open a Temperance House, from a suitable person, owning suitable premises, is now before the Special Comniittes, appointed by the Division to take action in the mattor.The temperance men of the village and vicinity, hold themselves pledged to the ublic to provide a rospectable Temperance otel, and, at personal sacrifice for the public welfare, they arc dotermined to meet the obligation.By order of

mention that a daughter of Mr James Marshall, Trout River, had been killed by aranaway team in Montreal on Tuesday, 1sth.It appears that Mrs Hall, with her infant in her arms, and accompanied by Miss Mary Marshall, had taken a walk to see tho result of the fire of the previous night in St James's Ifotel.While going along St Joseph street, they saw a Grand Trunk waggon, loaded with iron boxes, dashing towards them, tho horses having run away.Losing tomporarily their presence of mind, in their effort to escape, they put themselves more in the way, and the result was that in passing them one of the iron cages struck Miss Marshall on the left thigh, and gashed Mrs Hall in the face, the infant escaping without hurt.Miss Marshall was taken, insensible, into an adjoining house, but her injuries precluded all hopes.She recovered cansciousness, gnd Leing happily free from pain, conversed composedly until her death, which took placo two hours after the accident.he melancholy event was telegraphed to the parents, when her father started at once for the city, returning with the body.The fan- eral took place on Saturday, and drow an immense concourse.Miss Marshall was 26 years of age, the only unmarried daughter, and was 5 most estimable person.Very deep and wide-spread sympathy is felt for the aflicted family.We take the following report of the inquest held in Montreal on the 19th, from the Herald :\u2014 he inquest was held before Coroner Jones, and a jury, of which Mr Bonjamin Lamb, of St J oseph street, was foreman.Alexander Fraser, the driver of the team, was the first witness examined.He stated that while loading his waggan at No.3 shed the horses wero frightened by the noise of the engine passing over a turning table, and they ran away up St Joseph street at a

opening of the present session, prevented him from giving the readers of the Gleaner any doscription of the incidents of that ceremonial.The proceedings u such oocasions, under our long established forms, are of course stereaty What there may be of varie ty, or of a character to render description at all interesting, connected with parliamentary openings, depends upon such of their surroundings as are purely accidental.In the presont instance, the presence of a new- ly-appointed but already popular Governor- neral, presiding at the opening of a recently elected Parliament, very many of whose members were making their first on- trance upon public life, gave an interest to forms and ceremonies, the frequent and unvarying repetition of which has made, on ordinary occasions, somewhat tame and uninteresting.The weather, too, was very favorable, and so made the attendance of the class upon whom, so far as equipage and dress are concerned, the show and brilliancy of such occasions mainly depend, unusually large.Your correspondent has heard but one opinion expressed as to the manner in which our new Governor discharged his portion of the opening ceremony.His de- ortment is said to have been marked by th grace and dignity, while his manner of reading his speech was such as to afford complete satisfaction to all listeners\u2014his enunciation being unusually clear and dis- tinet, while emphasis and inflection were carefully attended to.With his other accomplishments, Lord Dufferin can boast the possession of that comparatively rare one, even among public men, of being a good clocutionist.The French Canadians are greatly pleased with ITis Excellency's evident familiarity with the French language.He read the French version of his speech, they say, with a correctness of pronunciation and a purity of accent, which would not have done discredit to an educated Parisian.There is no doubt, your correspondent thinks, that Lord Dufferin has won the same esteam and regard hero in the Capital that ho seoms to have'secured in Montreal, and in such other cities and towns of the Dominion as he has been spending some time in, since he assumed the Governorship of the country.Ido not know that his hospitalities to the residents of the place or to the strangers who congregate here during the sessions of parliament are more frequent or on a mere liberal scale than wore those which were so freely dispensed by his predecessor\u2014for Lord Lisgar\u2019s practice, in this respect, was in striking contrast to that of his predeces- sor\u2014but tho difference in the mode pursuad in either case, in bestowing such attontions upon the people of the place and others, may easily account for the difference in the result produced as to the relative popularity of the present Governor and of his immediate predecessor: In the one cass, the recipients of such hospitalities as the Administrator of the Government saw fit to make them the subjects of, were not permitted, either by the manner of the noble host and hostess, or hy any of the arrangements connected with such occasions, to forget that thoy wero the favored guests of persons officially and socially their superiors ; while, in the other case, it appeared to be the aim, both of the head of the house and his lady, to make those who arc bidden to his feasts thoroughly enjoy the occasion, and to feel\u2014for tho time at least\u2014relieved from any sense of.social inforiority.Aside from this delicate matter of dispensing private hospitalities, Lord Dufferin has won golden opinions here, as elsewhere, by his unaffected and friendly treatment of all those with whom his official and other duties bring him into contact, while his apparently hearty sympathy with and participation in the various philanthropic and edueation- al movements of the day, brought before his attention in his new sphoro of duty, commend him to the sincere regard of those among us who have the best interests of our common humanity at heart.His participation in and evidently hearty enjoyment of the every-day amusements of the people of the country, afford evidence of his dispori- tion to accommodate himself to that growing feeling in favor of social equality, evidence of the prevalence and power of which our Governor has, no doubt, been shrewd enough to notice.Lord Dufferin is evidently not timid &n tho score of anything ¢ coming between the wind and his nobility.\u201d Parliament has now been in session nearly three weeks, and yet but little has been accomplished in the way of substantial work.So much time has been ta':en up by the ordinary preliminary work of the session, and by the discussions which took place on several of the contested election cases\u2014notably those of West Peterborough and Muskoka \u2014which have been brought before the attention of the House, since the opening of tho session, that but little time has been loft for anything liko legislation.The number of elections contested in this second parliament of the Dominion, is something unprecedented, 1 believe, in Canadian par- linmentary history.No less than fifty.three of the members returned have had petitions fyled against them.Seeing that every member thus circumstanced is disqualified from sitting upon an election committee, that the members of the Government cannot be expected to sit pon such committees, that, from sickness and other causes, the average number of absentees is twenty, out of a House numbering two hundred members, that five mombers are re- uired to form each special committee, and that no member will be able to belong to more than one special committee during each session, it requires no special knowledge of arithmetic to enable ono to see that the trial of all the disputed cases during the resent session is quite out of the question.t is not at all probable that the petitions made in a good many cases will be followed by any further proceedings, as it isa matter of notoriety that some, at least, of these n made with other ends in jority of votes, and may, therefore, be reasonably supposed to represent the views of a ity of their constituents, while there is little doubt, I fancy, that the oor rapt tices, intimidation, &e., upon the ground of which most of the returns are contested, were resorted to with equal readiness, if not to an squat extent, by both parties.In the case of West Peterborough and South Renfrew, however, it is certain that great injustice to the .defeated candidates and to tho electors would be done by a failure on the part of the tribunal to which the trial of their petitions have boen referred to entor upon a prompt examina tion of the grounds upon which two constituencies claim that thoy havo suffered wrong.It is quite certain that the sitting members of those two counties do not hold their seats by virtue of their having received a majority of the legal votes in their ro- spective constituencies.Ottawa, 24th March, 1873.PE reach in tho Methodist Church, Huntingdon, on Sunday, both morning and evening.The Soiree at Franklin in connection with the Wesleyan Methodist church, on

back-bones of the reindeer were tound in some mounds in Caithness, as well as in other parts of Britain.Archaology and history told everywhere of the increase of mankind and the disappearance of the fauna, In the 12th century the hunter's horn was heard on the site of Edinburgh.An Act of King David's reign, relating to trade, mentions the skins of beavers, and the remains of this animal are still found in peat bogs.Some distinguished scientific men had concluded that the reindeer period should be placed thousands of ycars back, but it would appear from these evidences that it does not necessarily point to a period earlier than tho 12th century.Napanee, March 19.\u2014Last cvening a most bratal assault was committed on a young lady named Meagher, living near Power's School-house, in the county of Hastings, which came near resulting in her death.It appears she was going home in the dusk of the evening, and was met by a young Indian, aged 18 or 20, from the Mohawk track, perfectly sober, who demanded her money.On refusal he knocked her down, choled, kicked, and robbed her of $11 in money, her ring, broach, ear-rings, and other articles, when he left her insensible and made away.She lay on tho roadside two or three hours before discovered.A neighbour named McGennes, when passing, had his attention attracted by hearing groans.On proceeding to the place and finding her he gave an alarm, and the miscreant was tracked across the fields and found about a mile distant\u201d in a small wigwam.All the stolen property was found with him.He was arrested and taken to her residence and recognized as the man.Ho was then taken to Belleville gaol.Dr Ruttan of this place was telographed for, and found her injuries of a serious nature, although she is in a fair way of recovery.It is hoped justice will be meted out to the Indian shortly, as the assizes are now'sitting in Belleville.Walkerton, March 19.\u2014Five men, named James Johnson and his son, James Best and Arthur Best, sons-in-law of Johnson, and John Kerr, his hired man, were lodged in gaol here this morning by Constable Mc- Kay, of Underwood, charged with the mure der of George Price, ata small village called Baidu Dore, on the shore of Lake Huron, near Underwood, on Monday night last.The murder is said to have grown out of a fight between two ganders belonging respectively to the Johnson and Price family, who lived across the road from each other at the place named.It extended from the ganders to the children, and then to the women, and finally was taken up by the men.Old Johnson undertook to thrash young Price, but getting badly beaten a desire for revenge seetas to have taken his mind, which unbappily resulted in tho death of the elder Price.On Monday night last, as the two Prices and a friend named McQuaig were gotting out their sleigh at their own stable, they were nced upon by the five men named and beaten with sticks in a dreadful manner.The elder Price was killed on the spot, his skull being smashed in, whilst McQuaig was also badly beaten.The younger Price escaped with- jon of light members of the posod to the procession.fire.country.Brantford, March

inexplicable circumstances in the case which militate against the notion that it was the work of a mur- dercr.Among these are tho apparently deliberato washing of some of the \u2018wounds, the leaving undisturbed of\u2019 sundry portable valuables, and the entire absence of any signs of à scuffle in any part of the house.1f it wero possible to imagine that Mr Goodrich had hired some one to shoot him, wo might find a key to the extraordinary cir camstances surrounding his death.Apart from this untenable assumption, the case defies for the present, any kind of consistent explanation.Boston,

he said : \u2018 I have too much regard for your reputation to let you go home in this way.Don\u2019t you know that the story of your coming to meet me here will be all over the country, when such fellows as that know it,\u2019 and he pointed to Terry, who was making believe to neither see nor hear.\u201c Let me go,\u2019 cried Honor, and the Ros.common girl was strong, for she pulled her unwelcome wooer a few steps along the ane.; \u2018Ican\u2019tand I won't lot you go!\" But Bourke did lot go nevertheless, for at that moment a large stone struck him on the shoulder, and, with a fivegallon keg on his back, a stout blackthorn in his band, and a volley of Irish abuse in his mouth, Teol Roe came bounding down the moor.If Mr Bourke's friends had any doubts of his activity in the running line, their mipds would have been relioved by the oxhibition of that evening : he fled before Teol and bis blackthorn like a hart beforo the hunter, while Terry O'Tool promptly illustrated the faith that generally exists between such friends by starting off at a hand gallop, and leaving his principal to the enemy.As for Honor, she stood rooted to the spot with astonishment at first ; then, like a true - Irish girl, she laughed heartily at the ran; then she bestowed blessings on Teol which he could not hear ; and lastly, as tho whole transaction came back upon her mind, she sat down on the rock and wept bitterly in the sore vexation of youth.* Don't cry, Mies Honor, avourneen\u2019 said Teol, coming back from the chase before she was aware ; \u2018 sure the dirty spalpeen, nor & score like him, is not worth one toar from sich eyes as yqurs, acushia.If it hadn\u2019t bin for the dhrop on my back, its myself that would havo paid him out for ould an\u2019 new, the sarpent.But I got three wipes at him ;

there was nothing there but an honest care and concern for her and her family.She knew the chivalrous honour and trustworthiness of the man who carried the dhrop on his back, she also knew how much Teol's sound sense and shrewdness could be relied on.He had served her in the most direct and efficient manner, and he might assist her\u2018in making out the mystery , for Bourke's account of it she of ri coulé not believe ; moreover, the young girl Salt borself compromised in\u2019 the open of ber father\u2019s faithful .Better that Teol of, \u2018 Tool, 1 know it was not right, and not niver paid anybody till the business was what a girl of my family should have done,\u2019 ;

thank you a thousand times.I wouldn't for the world let one of the family or the neighbours know anything about it ; do seo me home, for it is getting dark,\u2019 said Honor ; \u2018 and if you can only find out the whole truth of the story for me, I'll be grateful to you as long as I live.\u2019 « Tut, my jewel, it's nothing more nor do-] ing my duty to ono of your name, Come along, I'll seo you to the gate;

and, sach is tho capacity of youth for keeping its own unwise counsel, Honor looked 20 calm and unconcerned that none of them ¢ver dreamt anything unusual had happened to her.Neithor did any of the household imagine what was in the wind when, early in the following forenoon, Molly Dhu threw hor rod shawl over her head, eastorn-veil-fashion, the usual modo of her countrywomen on undress occasions, and sot forth, saying she had to see about a little business ;

but that foronoon Maurice O' Dillon, now released from the monas.tie school and its hard dry studies, had rambled up the side of Slievobawn in search of certain mountain flowers for a corner of the garden which Honor cultivated and called hor awn.Iie had ggthered a stock of roots sufficiont to astonish and delight his sister, and the kindly youth was bringing thom home in trinmph, little dreaming that her thoughts of late were running on things loss safe than flowers, when from a point on the mountain side which command- od tho scene of trial he distinctly saw Paddy's terror, Molly's indignation, and Teol's interference.Curious to know the cause of such doings in such an out-of the-way placo, Maurice took a short cut down the steep, crossed the adjacent bog, and, in his turn, waylaid Paddy, just as the latter had pau.od in his flight to take breath, and to see if there were pursuers behind him.¢ What is the matter.my boy ?tell me the whole of it, and I won't lot them lay a fingor on you,\u2019 said Maurice, clapping him on the back by way of encouragement.« It was all belcase I brought Miss Tlonor tho ring,\u2019 cried Paddy, forgetting, in his joy at ono of the superior family coming forward to take his part, how his talo must sound in their cars.* Brought Miss Tonor a ring !\u201d and Maurice's grasp grow tight on the boy's shonl- der.\u2018 Who sont you with it to her ?\" His look, at once grave and _koon, had by this time admonished Paddy of the error he had committed, and fresh from the hands of Molly and tho threats of Teol as he was, the r boy, fuirly ovorcome with fear, snivel- fod ont, ¢ Oh, your honour, don\u2019t be angry, an\u2019 I'll tell vou all about it, an thrue as if | waa confossin\u2019 to Father Morin himself\u201d ¢ I promise not to ho angry, Paddy, and more than that, 1 will sce that no harm comes to you if you tell me the whole truth,\u2019 said Maurico ; and the whole truth Paddy did tell him, for his quiet way and calmly put questions restored tho postboy to wonted intolligenco and almost to wonted impu- denco.hen tho tale was done Paddy made a solemn promise to repeat it to nono of tho noighbours, which, strange to say, he kept ; and he proceeded on his journoy with the mail, forging excuses for its delay as he wont.Maurico O'Dillon procceded homo with his mounthin flowers, but the sonsitive, thoughtful brother had made a discovery which perplexed and troubled him.Naturally clear and keen in that perception of character which years and exporienco do not always give, though thoy generally sharpen it, ho knew that Fitzmaurice was a man to be trusted, and Bourke a man to be foared ; he had observed that both were attracted by his beautiful sister ; he had gnos sod, and it was with roal satisfaction, that sho preforred tho poor and true gentleman to the rich attorney's son; but Paddy's story revealed n cause of dread and danger which Maurice had not suspected.Like honest Teol, ho felt suro that a false game had been played on both Fitzmaurice and his own sistor ; moreover, he had a strong suspicion that Bourke's intentions wero dishonourable ; and wise beyond his ycars as Maurice was, the O'Dillon blood in bis veins boiled at the thought, and urged him to demand an explanation of the trick, or satisfaction in old Irish fashion.Bat besides his aversion to hostile meetings, and all the ways that led to them, the circumstances of the family, with a lease all but expired, it would not prudent to quarrel with the son of Lord French Park's agent, who probably would be agent him- soif.Yet the matter concerned his sister's safety.Maurice had no doubt that she bad beon deceived in the affair.Honor had a spirit worthy of her name, and above any meanness.True, she had gono to meet Fitzmaurice at the Fairy Cove, and true also he had seen her without knowing whither she was bound, when on hjs way to meet Hannah Moss at the ond of the Rath.Tho ono honest though secret love explained and oxcused the other to his mind, ut Maurico know that the seniors of the fumily would not soe the matter in the same light.lo dared not speak of it to them for four of bringing his sister into trouble, and also fur fear of an explosion against Bourke.What might Connel, what might oven his futher do?For pencoable as Cormick way on most occasions, he was the man to fire up at anything that touchod his family honour.Yet something ought to be done by was of check, or prevention of future attempts.Who know what Bourke might meditate if the thing were allo ed to pass unnoticed ?Maurice thought of thal all the way home, and for some hoars after, whilo helping Honor to plant the mountain flowers he had brought in her garden.is gontle and chivalrous nature shrank from letting her know that he was aware of the transaction sho had such temptation to conceal; and Honor thought, from his serious look and absent manner, that he must have had words with Hannah.As tho evening drow on, however, Maurice's ovil stars brought him to a conclusion which he would never have adopted had his oxperionco of life been lurger\u2014namoly, to seok an interview with Bourke ut the Moss, where Paddy had informed him the agent's son was to be found, appeal to his feolings ns a gontloman who had been kindly received at the Lees, endeavour to learn from him what hand Fitz.maurice had in the business, and warn him, but in the most friendly manner, that none of the O'Ditlon family were to be trifled with.About tho timo that Manrice slipped out to execute that brotherly but rather simple design, Gerald Bourke was enjoying his cigar, and the nir of an uncommonly mild evening in tho most picturesque corner of Jaimsay Regan\u2019s garden.The said plen- surc-ground was a sort of field at the back of the house, with a ruinous fence, and a gate always open for want of a latch, It was planted with\u2019 potatoes, cabbage, and broad-bonns, in long ridges, the onds of which were given up to wild grass\u2019 and tall nottles ; but the farther oxtremity, now shaded and shut in by twa ald applo-trees with mossy trunks and extensive branches, had once been a place of flowers.There wero beds where pinks and sweetwilliams, heartsense and wallflowers, still bloomed in spite of thickgrowing weeds; there were groat bushes of the cabbage-rose mingling with the hawthorn hedge that bounded the garden on that side, and dividod it from what was known as the ¢ Quarry-hole, a deop chasm with rough sides and a stony bottom, out of which it was popularly snid the houses of Kilmaclone had been built ; but no quarry work had been done there for many a year, and the pit was so overgrown with firs and ferns that a stranger would not have dreamt of its existence.From the garden it was not to be seen at all ; though the hedge was comparatively low.it was very thick, and inclined outward, £0 as to hide the pit and leave within the garden à small recess which the overhanging rose-bushes mado a sort of arbour.Some tasteful hand of former days had com- ploted the work by placing here a rustic sent, still firm and safe though worn with time and woather.There Gerald Bourke sat smoking in the waning light of a rosy Psunset ; the apple-trecs wore blooming before him ; the thrush was singing in its covent, and the cuckoo calling in the men.dows bevond ; but he was thinking of his disappointment over-night, and laying plans for the future.Hourke was not the man to give up a cherished design, particularly if it happened to be a bad one.Suddenly the latchless gate Rlammed, a rapid step came down tho wild garden, and Redmond Fitz maurice, dusty from the country road and looking in hot haste, stood before him.¢ Goad evening, Mr Fitzmaurice,\u2019 cried the attorney's son, making a desperato effort to appear quite at ease and hide his astonishment and fear.¢To what do I owe the honour of this late visit #' \u2018To your own _unmanly and disgraceful conduct,\u2019 sid Fitzmaurice.looking him sternly in the face; ¢I have come to demand an explanation, first, how you obtain.eid possession of my signet ring, and recond- ly, haw you dared by means of it to deceive and insult my cousin, Miss O'Dillon.\u2019 * Really; Mr Fitzmaurice, I am not accustomed to auch language, and I cannot understand what you mean about your signet ; 1 did hear a vidiculous story about its being found in a shebcen-houso or some such place, and ns to that girl you call your cou- sin\u2014a fhirty-second one, no doubt\u2014L will own I have had a bit of flirtation with hor, as any man may! The combination of malice, impudence, and fear in Bourke's face might have been a study for a painter of bad characters ; but the latter predominated when his former friend, stepping close up to him, said: * Gerald Bourke, you have spoken base, ful, and malignant falsehood ; give tae im- mediatoly a full explanation regarding my ring, and an ample apology for your conduct to my cousin, or give me on the spot the satisfaction which a gentleman has a right to demand ; take your choice,\u2019 and Fitemaurico held up to his viow a pair of hair-triggers of the most approved duelling pattern in days whon revolvers were hot, They wore both empty.Master Redmond, knowing his man, had come to frigh- ton, and not to fight; he had too much sense for that, and the duel was going out of fashion even in Roscommon.But Fitz.maurice knew neither his man nor himself woll enough, \u2018 What do you mean, sir 7\u201d cried Bourke, starting from his seat and endeavouring to show a bold front, while his rear pressed hard against the hawthorn hedge, as if to finda way of escape.\u2018 Don't you know that yon are linble to proserution for provoking me to commit a breach of the peace?I am not such a fool as to fight about your worthloss cousin.\u2019 Alas! for the hot blood of Ireland ; as Bourke uttercd the last offensive words the powerful arm of Fitzmaurice huried him m bis vantage-ground right over the hodge, and the next sound was a heavy crash as he went down through the firs and applo-trees, whero Nancy Regan, havin soon Fitzmaurice onter the garden, stationed herself to watch the proceedings, and she flew back to the house sending forth cries so loud and shrill, that her: father, his men, and several of the neighbours, came rushing to the spot just as Maurice O' Dillon, on his now needless mission, stepped in at the opon ate.Teol Roe, darting past him, seized Fitzmaurice by the arm, exclaiming, \u2018 Masther Redmond, fly up Slievebawn till wo soe if ye have kilt the crathur or not.Oh, murdher an\u2019 Irish, what made me come too late ?\u2019 (TO BE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.) \u2014\u2014\" IIOW TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS.\u201c Goop morning, Mr Brown, how do you do?\u201d \u201c Why! is that you Mr Black; I am happy to mect you.1 would have ed you by without knowing you.Tho last time I saw you, you were thin and pale, and looked as 1f you hud the liver complamt or consumption, and now I find you fat, hale, and as ruggod as a raftsman.low did all this come about ?\u201d « Well the fuct is, Mr B., I did feel somewhat uncomfortable, and I do not know what the corsequences might have beon, but through the urgent solicitations of my fumily and friends, I was induced to give up business, that is, take à few holidays as they call them, and go down to the St Lawrence as my means would not allow me to go to somo of those fashionable watering places or to the sea shore.So getting a tent from | a friend, ono of those old war tents, such as tho sutlers used to uso, and packing up a lot of necessary articles, provisions, &e., what we thought we would want for a regu- lur camping out.This I did not know much about myself, but with the help of a few practical friends who had been out before, wo managod to got everything in ship-shape.My wite, soveral of the family, and myself, sturted for Dundee, where we got a skiff which we got towed down, and without any great trouble we gat aboard tho little steamer Royal, which, although not very large, landed us safely at llamilton's Island, where wo pitched our tent (along with quito a number of others, as 1 learned, from Og- densbury, Massena, and other places) for a quiet sojourn on the island.And a beautiful spot it is, grown up with second-growth trees of all kinds, the thick foliage protoct- ing us alike from tho rays of the sun and the wet on rainy days.A more delightful spot could not be wished for.We could re- clino yndor the shade of those trees, on the green thick closo-cropped grass, nature's own carpet, which would not stain the whitest fubric.The cool, clear, and invigorating atmosphere which required no gasping or choking to puss it through the lungs.One noyer could tire of gazing on that beautiful sheet of the purest of water, the same water that but a few days ago dame tumbling over the awful cataract of Niagara.I never yet met a person while there so devoid of taste, but would exclaim on boholding the Lake, ¢ How beautiful, how delightful, it is a perfoct paradise, what a splendid view, those magnificent islands ; how majestic, what grandeur, how exhilera- ting, how invigorating, how pure, &e\" The islands are clothed in the rich green verdure of Summer, and the Lake is thickly dotted with them, and to sco the steamers of all sizes and descriptions, from the large floating palace to the tiny sail boat, wending their way up and down the intricate channels, passing by our camping ground within a stone's throw, is of itself worth more than half a life-time spept in the dull towns and cities.As those large swift steamers passed we would jump into our skiffs and row the ladies out to have a toter on the swell, that is if they were not too timid, which most of them are at first, and I cannot say but I bad some misgivings as to tho result.The steamers salute us with their whistles while the ladies wave their handkerchiofs to one another, and -I think this waving proeess was not all left to the ladies.To get up in the morning at the first peep of day and get your fishing tackle and go out for a quiet fish or stroll, is something that will instil vigor in your frame and give a iealthy glow to pale cheeks, and us you are trolling along by tie edge of some rush bed where you can see long woods in the bottom heaving up and down caused by the swift current, the first you know your hooks are fast, you think you have como in contact with some immoveable object, but before you have time to say anything you feel a tug, and then you know what is what.You call to the rower to hold on, that you have hooked a maskinonge.Then comes the exciloment.If your heart don\u2019t play pit-a-pat against your ribs itis because you have one big enough for any kind of feeling; you haul away keeping your line taut\u2014you Davo him near the boat and away he goes again, fairly dragging the boat after him if you don\u2019t give him line enough; a number of times you have had him near up and oft he goes again ;
