CHRISTMAS NUMBER, {Which Was the Grandest Ever Isswed in Kingston--Some of the "Bougquets" Throwa af the Whig Staff, OR acs a The Whig's Christmas number, issued | on Saturday, containing fifty-four pages, was declared by citizens in gen- eral to be the grandest newspaper is- sue ever produced in Kingston. It was i best printed and the most readable | number thai the city bas ever had, and the people were loud in their] praises of the work. There was such a demand that the whole edition was sold out at an early hour. Two thou- sand more papers could have been sold had they been on hand. Here are - a few bouquets "thrown at" the Whig staf: Thomas McAuley, bookseller -- The best edition the Whig ever turned out. It's a big advertisement for Kingston and the City Couneil should spend $40 or $50 on advertising in such an issue. Jus). Behan--Allow me to congratu- late you on the excellence of your Christmas number. It was a credit to the Whig and to the city as well, W. J. Paul-I could have sold sev- enty-five more on Saturday night. _ Capt. John Geoghegan--It was an issue that stands second to none, not even in New York.

Disapproval of Match by Family Said to be Cause of Double Tragedy Near Belleville. Belleville, Dec. 16.--~After mortally wounding his fifteen-year-old wife by firing the contents of a gun loaded with shot at her head, bk. U. Wellman, a farmer in the township of Rawdon, blew cut his own bras, late Satur- day. It is smd that his reason for ending the existence of himselt and his wife was that he believed his wife's re- latives disapproved of him. They had been married a year, able to describe the circumstances of the aliair to Uoroner Dr. Algers, oi Stirhng, who, with other medical men, was summoned by the girl's mother imymediately after the shooting. The doctors are of the opinion that the girl cannot survive her injuries. ! It appears that Wellman on Satur- day borrowed 4 shotgun from a'neigh- bor, declaring that weasels were bothering him and he desired to shoot them. About 4.30 Saturday after! noon he went into the bedroom, where his wite was lying sick, and as she turned te face bim he fired off the gun at her head. The weapon was loaded with a shell and the shots de- stroyed one of her eyes, carrying away a portion of the roof of her mouth and knocking out several teeth. Some of the shot are still embedded in her head. Thinking he had killed his wife, Wellman then went upstairs, re- loaded the gun with a cartridge, tied a string to thé trigger and discharged it with his foot, blowing a portion of his head off and causing instant death, wpe. Wellman s mother was at the barn at the time, and, hearing the shots, rushed to the house and discov- ered the tragedy. br. Algers, of Stirling, a coroner, and other physi- clans were and after an examination stated that Mrs. Weil man was mortally wounded.

William Carver and wife, who were sent to jail, a few weeks ago, on a! charge of theft, will be deported ina very short time. The necessary pa pers are being made out, and they will go back to their former home in the old country. They have only been in Kingston a short time. The couple were arrested by Consta- ble Samuel Arniel, on a charge of stealing door mats from different houses in the city, and were . found guilty. The husband was given three months, and the wife one month, The couple have three little chil- dren, who are at present in the Orphans' Home, and they will return to the old country with their par ents. Love for strong drink was the cause of all trouble. The mats they stole were disposed of at a second- hand store, and the proceeds spent in liguor. The husband stoutly denied the charge, when the case was heard in police court, and Mrs. Carver, who entered a plea of guilty," wanted to take all the blame, stating that she alone had committed the theft, but the evidence showed that her husband had also had a hand in the thefts. ---- A "VIVID" DESCRIPTION Of the Hawthorne Company's Mines in Frontenac.
