Our confiere of the Norfolk Reformer is never bedind in matters both entertaining and instivctive. We take the following from his excellent paper. To the young ladies living in Simcoe, Waterford, or any ot place, who would like to select a partner with whom to share the pleasures and toils of life, I have a few words of kindly advice to give and a little information to impart. The year 1868 be- ing leap year, certain privileges are allowed to the fair ones, which they should not let pass unimproved. To any young lady who 18 blessed with beauty, good temper, ele- gance and refinement, and able 10 support a dear, kind and dutiful husband ir; ease aud comfort, I ean give a choice of seventy bachelors, whose char.cters, according to their own showing, will bear the strictest | investigation. They are p ssessed of all {the cardinal virtues and other qualifications i too numeious to mention' aud are patient- | ly waiting for a loving helpmate who will bs able to keep them from experiencing the {bitter pangs of poverty, They are of all ages, fiom the beardless boy of sweet six- teen' to the venerable looking sage of three- score-years and ten, and their occupations are as varied as the hoes of autumn, All this may appear very strange, but 1 will tell you how I came 10 be in possession of such a long listof marriageable young men with characters, like that of Casar's wife, above suspicion. Not<long ago a young lady ariived in Canada trom Scotland and took up her residence in Brantford, Sh: was, as | have reason to believe, a most charming creature---a lady of great wealih and personal attractions. ~ She dressed ele- gautly, spent a great deal of money, had just come into possession of a vast fortune, and withal was calenlated to break a good many hearts. She was, in «lort, a medium between Mary Queen of Scots and Cleo- patra, and owned a sheep form in the High- lands somewlat less than the township of Townsend: Itisnot to bo supposed that such a lady wou'd be withont host of ad- mirers even in her own country, but Miss Katie Wells has a will of her own, so sack- ing without ceremoy ail her old lovers she came to Canada in search of the coming man,' and soon after locating in Brantford she mserted the following advertisement in the Reformer : "" A young Scotch lady at present travelling in Canada for pleasure, and who intends to re turn to her native land ju the spring, wishes to cultivate the acquaintance of a young man with a view to marriage. Must be of good moral ter and religiously inclined as the advertiser is in ¢ circumstan Address, enclosing carte-de visite, Miss K. "aterford P, 0. This frank inv and the next few days brought seventy-two appheations and photographs. After hang. ingover these loving epistles in deep an- xiety for some time, the young lady became so bewildered with the vaned excellencies of her correspondents that she resolved to it tain her freedom for some time longer. What was to be done, however, with the letters which had been received 2 She took counsel with ber respected triend, Mrs, Van- amburgh, who, being deeply impressed with the discretion of your correspondent, advised her to commit the precious docu- men's lo my cate, to be used in whatever way I thought best, and at the same time to commumecate their fate to the rejected. 7 Money 7 & ion woiked like a charm | Flattered by such a trust, [read the epis- tes, looked on the portraits with a pitying eye, and came to lhe conclusion that the variety of human wishes 'was alter ah something more than au emply name, | discovered thai th#®argest number of Istters came from Simcoe, bug Waterlord, Boston, Port Rowan, and a nuinber of othe places fur- nishied their quota. It would take more time than 1 have at my disposal to send answers to such a number of "soft sighing swainy,' so I have resolved to answer them through the columas of the Reformer, and hope that | may be able to do so without giving offence to anygof the unsuccessful as- pirauts to the hand and fortune of the fair Katie Wells. I may state, however, that the names given are not to be depended on, as | have changed most of them in mercy to the writers. The first letter is that of Freddy Shackle- back, and as 1t 1s not very long I will give it entire : --¢ My dear, a young Scotchman of good moral character and religiously in- clined wishes to make your acquaintance with a view to marpiage. I pride myself that [ am a nandsome 'young man, as you may see from my photograph. = 1 am "the sou of a respectable clergyman whe died in Turouto some years azo. I will say no mote, as | do not know if you will get this scrawl, which you must excuse." Very good, indeed, but yon appear to have a far better opinion of yourself than Katie has. Freddy; you are rejected. After Freddy comesan ¢ attachment' from member of the legal profession, Gabriel North, and if there 18 any reliance to be placed on his statements the rest of his 'brethren must certainly feel a little flattered. He says :--¢ This 1s a pleasure | have loug been waiting Mr with ansious heart ? (I suppose he means the ' easy circumstances,' and if that is the case | am quite ready to accept his candid confession), 1 am a lawyer by profession, living when at home in a larg city in the Province of Quebec, and have come up herd ona visit. [elaim to have a good moral character and am re- ligiously inclined. Ido not wish, however to be my own trumpetor, for I think ¢self- praise 18 no recommendation." I trust you will think favorabiy of these few lines, that I may not be kept long in suspense, for I will not rest easy until I receive an answer.' He sends hus photograph, and I must say that, dressed in his long robe, he cuts a very respectable fizure. Gabriel you may blow your tnmpet again, for Katie says she will never hang herself ona " hmbrof the law." The next communication is from an aged boy living in Simece, who is anxious to select a partner to cheer and comfort him in lis declining years," and says, ¢ I have just seen your advertisement in the Refor- mer, to which | have been a subscriber for the lust ten years. I was very much pleas- UNTY OF ONTARIO, C. W. THURSDAY, MARCH b. S68 WESTERN ASSURANCE COMP'Y ; TORONTO, OW.

I have a snug little farm, and would like to get a partner to share it with me, am not near as old as you would suppose from my picture, and am as sociable and smart as almost any young man you could find. Please answer soon, as | have another chance.' Mr. Winkle, | am afraid that you would not be able to stand a voy- age acioss the Atlantic, and Katie says she thinks you had better stay where you are and till your little farm near Simcoe. The fourth letter on the list comes from a young man who 1s at present attending a medical college. He 13 a man of unexcep- tionable charactar, and no doubt woul make a very dutitul husband. He com- mences his theory of love and marriage alter tne following fashion : ¢ Dear musk, Having noticed your abvertisement in the Reformer, | husténed to address you on the subject: I sce by it that you are young. Now, that is a very important desideratom with me, for I could never fancy any anti- quated specimen of female innocence. | mysell am also young, in the blooming | freshness of a youth. You are Scotch ; I am sorry I am not for what other nation can vie with Scotland in honor, prosperity, beauty and plulanthrophy ? am most happy to hear that you are in ¢ easy circum- stances,' for I most decidedly am not. Of course, [ think it best to state the truth in the beginning, so that you may have that faith in me that I Lave'in you." Naverthe- less, do not imagine that am a fortune huater, for unless | wero pleased with the qualities of both mind and person I 'would tot in the slightest degree be influenced by pecuniary maiters. 1 am at present attend nz lectures in the medical department of McGill College, but if you think it necessary for our mutual happiness that I should dis- continue my studies of course I would im- mediately do so. In conclusion, 1 may state that I am a native of Noifolk, and am quite willing to relinquish its beauties for those of far-tamed Caledonia. When | say beauties, of course I refer to those of scenery, &s. May I hope that you will look with or upon devoted admirer?' Joshua Lintepin, that's pretty cool, and some of your statements aie remarkably candid, but Katie thinks it wouid be a pity for a young man who gives fair promise of becoming a star in his profession to give up | his studies, and although you would have a splendid opportunity of stodying nature, she toes not think you would like herding her sheep in the glens on the mountains of her native country. You say that yon regret you are not a Scotchman, but I think Sir Waltar Sgott was preity near the mark when he said, -- * Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land 2" The next applicant is no less a personage (than a student of Divinity who is in his | *¢ last year," but I trast not upon his *¢ last | legs." He 1s 23 years of age, and 5 feet 7 | mehes in height, and says in his note: «1 will pot say anything of myself, as the pro- tession I aspire to is sufficient for that, You | have heard of many hoaxes occurting, you | may rest assured this is no hoax, and there | fore | will depend on your carte first, as I| should be cautions about my protes on." | Cautious Andrew, [ know you aie a Scotch- | man, but I think yon had better wait until you are out of your ¢ last year'? and nto a comfortable country manse,and then stead of answerii matrimomaladvertisements, you could:&peid your ime more. profi, tably in attending to your ministerial duties.

He 1a evidently doing his best to appear intillegent, but the attempt is not very successful, ahd I fear hia attempt to secure the hand and fortune of Katie will be pretty much the same. I'have here an application from a travel- ling gentleman, who says :--¢ I have seen your advertisement, and [ love you dearly. [ am a Scotchinan ; 30 years of age ;, am strong and healthy, and think I will sun you. Iam comfortably off in this world's goods." Tle sends his photograph which | think wonld have ben better at home, for it is anything but a-beauty. The figure stands drawn up as ilhe had buen suddenly seized with a violent attack of tryching spiralis. He appointed a place of meeting at McCool's store, bat soon found he had made a mistake, when he left very sudden- ly with his ¢ worldly goods," and when last seen, he was crossing the bridge ata 2.40 rate. '49 Another swain propose to meet the Seot- tish heiress in Beckers store, and on a cer- tun day some one saw him there and took his measure with a critical eye, but as he was not considered up to the marrying mark he was left to hide his time without getting a glimpse at the one he had yearn- ed so long to see. A third kindly offered to make a pilgrim- age to Waterford, for the purpose of meeting his lady love at;Beemar's Hotel, Heo says : "If spared | will be there at a quarter to three--it recogmiz+d be friendly ul once.' Here 1s a pressing invitation from a yonth living at Port Rowan, who sends his 'carte, dressed in the uniform of one ot her Majes. y's soldiers. The letter 1s signed Blinkey Brown, and he describes linnsell as follows "lam pretty tall and well buill=-neither stoot ! any young larga head and heart, and think Iam quite competent to love and provide for you.-- Should you think me worthy of your love and confidence I wonld guard and protect you back ty yonr home iu the Highlands." Katie says it would be very wrong to take such a brave front until the Alabama claims are settled, and would think of deserting his country in the hour of danger has vo chance of getting slender, but just the figure that lady might fancy. nor I have a be delighted to Modest Mr. Brown, but looking man away from the any of her Majesty's subjects who Katie's hand, although his head and hean were as big as a pumpkin, My time and space are now exhausted, and those tender documents that aie unno- ticed must remain forever in obscnrity 1 may say, however, that I am highly grati- fied to find them all having sdeh excellent characters, such good looks and such tem pers, Katie, I am sure, never had such offers in her life before, and probaly will never again.

The Pembroke Observer says:--In the township of Alice, near the town of Pem- broke, live, or rather tived, a German family by the name of Webber The fam'y con- sisted of the father, his wifsand six children. The father is said to be a peaceful and in- dustrioud man, and his wife had the repoti- tion of being a kind and affectionate mother thongh some years before she had exhibited symptoms of insanity ; two daughters, the aldest about fifteen or sixteen years of age, aud four song, made up their family. On Friday last, the father being out at work, the eldest daughter weut out to milk the cows, but before she got through was cali- into the house by her mother. On reaching there she was startled to find her wotiier staindifrg in the entrance with an axe, and they remarked to her «They are all dead," or words to that effeet 5 and on looking into the house, the horrible sight of her younger sister and brothers lying around the room, gashed and bleeding, met her eyes, and «he fled in terror to one of the neighbors. It is said that the mother made demonstra- tions to make her a victim ulko, but she got out of her wayin time to pravent it. Word of the hornible affur was soon afterwards received in Pembroke, when Dr. McKenzie, coroner, repaired 10 the place, and held an inquest at once. Three of the children were dead when the coroner arrived at the scene of the tragedy ; another died while the inqnest was being held. Four of them waere buried on Sunday last, Insanity it will be inferred, was the cause of the awful and unvatural act. About ten years ago while yet in Germany, her hos bani| tells of her killing a cow with an axe, while in a similar frenzy. Up to Frivgy last the derangement in her mind seems To have slept: On that morning the children had just got oul of bad, and were sanding round the stove, when the old demon of in- sanity returned with redonbled power. The axe was seized, and rapidly the blows de- scended on the heads of the poor children, cleaving their skulls, and scattering their braine in @ honible manner, ttt TT---- = Oiig of tha.children vet alive had a part' ng having, probably on the same principle that ¢ drown ing men catch at straws," mechanically clasped its hand over its head to watd oft the blow, After the inquest, the coroner committed the woman to the county gaol of Pembrooke, where she now is awaiting the further action of the anthorities, commitment the wretched being has come to her usnal senses, but save a. few half meaningless expressions, has very little in connection with the affair, and is not ap- parently disposed to speak at dll on the sub- Her mental agony ap to be ex- cessive, as evinced by constant moaning and rocking too and fro, while the teailess eyes seni totlenote an extremity of inward suflering 100 great to be relieved by teara.
