When the head was op and the brain examined, a groove through the substance of the brain, extending in a horizontal direction across the left hemisphere of the brain, was found above that portion of the brain which is called the left ventricle.

The only wound found on the corpse was in the left temple immediate- ly above and in front of the lobe of the ear.

On the bone was a. groove of crushed cerebral matter indicating the entrance of a foreign body, spread a little therefrom to the middle of the brain a little distance this side of the end of this groove.

There was a. fatty degeneration of the heart suiciently developed, and the commencement of a similar and granular degeneration in the liver. All the other organs were healthy.

A3303: AT OTTA\VA.--A. more unblushing attempt to destroy property and defraud the Insurance Companies than was made in this , city on 'l'hursdo._y night we have seldom `seen. The prcullses-Ill question were WO0(l- en ones, situated on Clarence street, owned by Mr Lowry. and the lower portion occu-' pied as a. grocery store by G. Nicholson. In Jzinuary last an insurance was effected on thc'stock in the store to the amount of $1,500, and if the company would have taken the risk a. policy for $2,000 was sought for. No suspicion of any intended foul play was entertained until after the re on Thursday night, when facts came to light which the most charitubly inclined could not close their eyes to. In carrying outthe supposed stock, the tea.-chests were found to` be suspiciously light, and tn examination showed that they were empty, or worse, that each contained a. small box of tea about a. quarter of a pound in weight, so fastened to one side of the chest that if bored for a sample it would appear full. The shelves of i the store and windowivs, which were appa- rently well stocked with a choice selection of * wines, sauces, tinned fruits, oysters, sar- dines, S:c., were found to contain nothi 9.1- most but empty cans and bottles, an 9. careful and liberal estimate of the whole stock and furniture of the store placed the total [value at considerably less than $50. Fine shavings, carefully mixed with matches and chips of pine wood, had been distributed in various parts of the shop, under the coun- ter and in the tes-chests, and not re to in four different places. The investigation this - afternoon can hardly fail to bring out the fact as to who was the perpetrator of the scandalous deed.--Ottawa nr Ex 815 us on the arms with a stick.

We have all now learnt so much about conventnal life that we cannot think the ordinary instances of open- ing letters and having penance to perform, not to eat between meals and the restrictions on speaking, are anything more than the ordinary incident of conventual life. You may think them foolish or absurd, but you must all see that these ladies really believe that strict obedience to rules in these matters does really lead to a holy life. Is it possible to account in any way for the state of feeling that existed in the con- vent, except that the plaintis conduct itself explained it '? The learned gentleman went through the important matters of the case, and with reference to the concealed letters he said- It is not a question whether it is right or wrong to break the natural atfections which exist be- tween parent and child, but what is the view these ladies take ofit, but if you grant the hypo- thesis that living in a convent is a life most pleasing to God, as they believe, it follows that checking exuberant affectzion towards relations may be part of what they have to undergo. The quantity of pockets found upon the plaittti` would lend to the belief that she was given to habits of petty pilfering. She had a temper the superior could not control, and fewer penances were imposed upon her than upon the other sis- ters. Her story throughout was an exaggeration. Mrs Starr : letter to the bishop, tendering her re- signation, stated at that period that the whole spirit of the crmmunity was changed. Was it so? She further says, We are not` like the some happy community." Were they '? Can you doubt the genuineness of this letter? And if so, what could have been the cause ex ept in Miss Saurin herself?
