The ter- riblo state of affairs is due, beyond all doubt. to the inflammatory harangues to which the disrutislictl peasantry are tllily treated. and the London Times summarizes the arguments in a. speech delivered by Parnell at Galwuy on Sun- .lav la~t, as follows :-â€"â€"“ that crime and outrage were justified by the determina- tion of thc [internment to keep the p-nce and by the refund of the House oI lmrtl< to pt<s the Compensation for lll~turhauc;-s in Inland liill.'Y Worde up to .1 pitch of setui-ithawil)’ by the speeches of the unprineiplml imitators who are :luiu: their best to deluge their unhapva Country with loot], the pe‘vp're refuse such an atnoliorrmi'n'n'"of their typinllliljll narlubz'o‘. be brought about by coueesfi'ous on the part of their land- lords. and no the utterly absurd length of dema‘ding that the land shall be taken from the pro-cut owners and con- l'erh-d upon the tenants themselves ; and in this d. n.:tud they are backed up by l’nrm-Il, who at a great demonstration at Kilk-nnv, on the lst. inst., objected to a motion in which mention was made ul'the “ rights of landlords," who, he said. had no rights but such as had been obtained by fraud, force or con- ([ttest.

Fooling with Firearms. From Montreal come the particulars nfa melancholy gun "accident " which took pince under circumstances that would create astonishment at the verdict rendered by the coroner's jury, but for I'm fct that the foreman was a relative of the Lt-l woo fired the fatal shot. On Fridtv of la~t week Paul Na‘ion. blackv smith,‘of St. Row, went out shooting, and when he returned hung up the loaded gun in the kitchen. In the evening his sonkiiormidas, aged 15. took down the weapon. placed the butt to his shoulder and pulled the trigger, as he said he had been in the habitol , doing. The explosion which followed' blow out the lamp on the kitchen table and also the brains of his cousin, Cleo- plth Cluutier, who wasin another room, and who was found lying dead upon the floor when the lamp was relightcd. Ilurtuidas admitted he knew that his tonsil! had just left the kitchen; but he was deceived by the gun, as he " didn't know it was loaded ; " and so the considerate jury. probably at the stagnation of the foreman. exoneratch him from all blame, for which course, they can plead the excuse of prv'cedents l innumerable. How much longer are? such tnmdirs to e ennctml witlmuri lc;ul intuit-runes? “‘itat member off {unison-M will emu immortality, ntt-l' prevent it from being prematurely eon- t ferred upon hundreds of his fellow crea- tures, by taking action in the matter ? It is a matter of surprise to us that murderers. instead of stupidly trusting to. the plea of insanity to save them from the penalty of their obviously in- tended crimes, do not shoot. their vie. tims under such cimummnewthat the all-suficicut plea of “didn't know it was loaded " shall be available. Per- haps some of them (loâ€"who can tell? Butchers’ licenses. The village is in a ferment of indigo nation because the Council on Friday evening last a by-law licensing our two butchers, Messrs. Austin and Cochrane, and forbidding any other person to sell fresh meat. in less quanti- ties than a quarter carcase, within the limits of the corporation, under a penal- ty of not less than one nor more than five dollars for every offence, or, in de- fault of payment, of not more than ten days’ imprisonment. The action was taken at the request of the butchers themselves, who offered to pay 820 each for such protection as the by-lnw affords them. and they and the “ city fathers " are being vigoroust anathematich in every place where two. three or more persons congregate. We think the mea- sure is a mistaken one. as it is intensely unpopular and inflictsa hardship on the farmers. who onght to be enter-umged to come to the village by every means in our power; on the public. who in these hard times want cheap food and ought not to be prevented from obtaining it; and on thegrocers and provision dealers, who can no longer take a pig, 3 sheep or a quarter of beef from a customer who ovvcs them and cut. it. up into “ lots to suit purchasers." If there are any business men in the community who do not need legislative enactments to swell their profits, they are the butchers, who are well known to be tanking money faster, in proportion to the capital in- volved and the risk run, than any other persons; and their attempt to subvert the usual order of things and monopolize the entire retail trade in fresh meat. is. therefore, the less to be excused. They can buy a beast that will dress 400 lbs. for $18 or less, and sell it at an average of seven cents a pound. or a. profit. of $10, with say, 85 added for hide and tnllow; and as three such animals are generally dispOscd of at each shop (to- gether with an occasional sheep, pig or calf) every week for the greater part. of the year, they must be able to make a good living, and have choiCc cuts of meat at every meal. without oppressing the rest. of the ("immunity to enable them to do so. Butcheringr is a capital business, as those engaged in it do not deny, and it has one advantage peculiar to itself, for in what other line can a dealer say that the more dead stocl. llt' has on hand the more likely he is to make money? It. is agood thing for the Council that they will have time be- fore next election to prove their repent- ance for Friday night’s'wnrk. or they would all be sent packing, and the vil- lagers are so determined that; the batch- ers shall not reap any advantage from their little game, that they will go any; length to frustrate it, and small‘ulame to them.

ESTRAY CATTLE.â€"\\'hcn, a few weeks ago, we reminded our country readers that the law required them to ntlverti<c any stray cattle on their farms. they paid no attention; but the first tell of snow “ lctched ’em." There are two such advertisements in this week's Ga- zette. and probably would be two dozen if every man who has a strange animal on his place did his .duty. Of course the owners of such animals are not, bound to pay for their keep until after they have been advertised; and, ifso disposed, they can prosecute parties who keep them for any considerable length of time without giving notice in some local paper of their whereabouts. A SURPLUS â€"There must have been a considerable surplus of cattle, sheep and pigs in Fenelon, Vernlam and Somervillc this year. for small droves of them pass through the village every few days on their way to the railway station, where they are put on cars and sent to the front. The buyer: give. we understand. very fair prices, and if our lnrmers could be. argued and implored into improving their stock, they would soon find that raising animals for ex- port wss the most profitable branch of their business. Of course. lmoog the large number of cattle purchased in this neighbourhood there were a few pretty fair ones; but the great majoritv of them were thtr~ commonest " natives." which no doubt had-eaten as much food as would have raised good grades of less age to double their weight. A Ssotvs‘ronw-uAbant 5 o'clock on the evening of Friday of last weeks snowstorm Cfilnntx'f'ICt'tl, and ointtnued hours. Though the snow did not. come down very heavily at any time. the long duration of the storm and the strong wind that was blowing caused numer- ous deep drifts, and lbr a can it: of days the landscape had a very auuaryish appearance. On Monday night. rain began, and tell with steady persistence for a sulficient length of time to convert the snow into a horrible slush, with which the roads are still covered. Were it not that robius and other birds are yet around in considerable numbers, we should fear that winter was close at. hand; but their presence and the hm of the sun's rays, when there are no clouds to intercept them. make us hope that, as many assert, Indian summer is yet. to come. Tun Scuoot. Barnâ€"Mr. Thomas Austin, who has been appointed collect- or for the current year, was around the village delivering tax=bills on Wednes- day last, and as a “ special school-rate " has been inserted in writing between the printed lines. a great many of the peo- ple are suspicions that the new item is in some way connected with the Davis defalcatiou, and want. an explanation. It is very easy to give one. In former years the entire amount. required for all school purposes whatsoever was collect- ed under the heading of “ general school rate," but a change has now been made, and while the money needed for touch crs‘ salaries and other expenses is rais ed under the old heading, and will be handed over to the trustees 0r their representative, the 8450 required to meet debentures and interest thereon will be collected under ‘ the “ special rate " (as it ought always to have been) and retained by the village council, which body is responsible for botrovred moneys. The new item does not, there- fore, indicate any addition to the school tax, and has nothing to do with the late Treasurer; though probably ifhe had not feloniously appropriated the funds in his hands the old system of collection would have been adhered to. Strange Case of Suicide. A CONVIC'I‘ PIERCES HIS OWN WITH A PIECE OF WIRE. Knvosrox, Oct. 22.â€"â€"Lnst night. about. eight o'clock a convict named Wm. Dempsey, a native of Ireland, commit~ ted suicide in the hospital at. the Po!) itentinry. The guards who were on duty at. that building heard a scream. and on going inside to ascertain the cause found Dempsey Walking around the room, cursing :md swearing at. a terrible rate, and complaining that something was wrong with his heart. They made an examination :md found a very minute orifice in the region of the heart, which was caused by a' small clot of blood. Dempsevncknowledged to having stabbed himself. He in some way. it. is supposed by the aid of the other prisoners, procured a. piece of wire from a common corn broom and with this pierced his heart. It did not kill him instantly, but gave him lots of time to explain to the guards how he had HEART committed thegimd. .D-tm',rsey--â€"wat=' 'L'qunrrétsome, unruly couvict and sub. ject to epileptic fits. It was on account of the latter that. he was in the hospital, and it. is surmised that. he stabbed him- self while one of these fits was coming on him. He was convicted at. the Police Court, Hamilton, for larceny, and sentenced to three yc‘n's in the Penitentiary on the 19th oi November 1877. It will be seen that he had only a. little less than a month to serve. and Would not. have committed s'uicid if he had been in his right, senses. lit- was twenty-one years of age. An in; quest. was held this afternoon and a ver- dict of suicide was returned. The jury entirely exonerated the guards from blame, but. at the same time they were of opinion that; the surgeon of the prison lives too far away from the InstitutiOn, so that he could not be called to attend acase like this until too late. They think that. he should live in the village, so that. he could be called in at any time. * Journalistic adependence. The independence of the Liberd‘. Press is something which neither Tory organs nor the self=dubbed “indepen- dent" journals can understand. Hence for example both the latter are surpris- ed at the outspoken criticism of Re- lorm papers in regard to recent univer- sity appointments made by Mr. Crooks. Hence also the astonishment felt at. any honest reflection made upon the admin- istrations to which the Reform press accordsa general, but by no means slavish, support. 'l‘hus. recently. the tullil insinuated that the Ottawa Free [)I'ISS was astride the fence beendse the latter journal drew the attention of the Ontario Government to the rumours which were current in regard to alleged tnisdeuteauours of a certain official in Ottawa city, and had ex tossed the opinion that it. was “ locum eat on the Ontario Government to promptly order an investigation in the public interest." No greater compliment could be paid a Liberal paper than to charge it with party disloyalty because it. discharged its duty without fear, favour or affec- tion in thus calling public as well as governmental attention to even the rumours of official irregularity; but no “jumping the fence" is implied in any such conduct. It. is only the fearless discharge of a plain journalistic dub, and the assertion of that true indepen- dence which places the public weal be- fore mere party interest. We should perhaps rather say that it is consulting the true interest even of party itself to frankly point. out it: defects and dc- mund a remedy for them, instead of blindly condoning and defending its every action and indiscriminately at- tacking the policy and administration of its opponents. The latter is the course unvsryingly pursued by Tory journals. and therefore it is too much to expect that they should appreciate the outspoken independence which characterizes their Reform contem- porariesâ€"Kingston qu'g. ' l ; fl Professor Rot-man W. Kingsley, of » New York, said in reference to an artificial ' palate constructed by Ir. Xeelandsfientist. Lindsay, fir a gentleman, by which his T speech was restored: “l hue experimented Wilh'dfl it'll-‘VIDl-‘Sl‘mi “"1955 l‘ “‘“l‘ ' 2 for your: before I got anything like so good rv-st. dating th.~ night, for twenty-fourl matriculation. 324‘ A Pleased Mr. John Jaques, a gentleman» from Pickering, Yorkshire, Englwd, has been staying with Mr. Christopher Firth, of Glenelg. for the past five or six weeks. Mnjliq‘n‘ei' visit is principally, says the Durham Chronicle, “ tor the pur~ pads of inspecting the country, sinking enquiries as to its capabilitiéi and suit~ ableues' foi- stock farming. with a view to giving correct information to a welL toâ€"do clam of his countrymen who are desirous of a change. owing to a succes- ion of poor harvcsL=, ect., in England." Mr. quues is highly pleasedwith this section of the- country, and. of course, will report accordingly. He has pur- chased, we understand, the Hayward property in Glenelg, besides getting the particulars of many other farms in the neighbourhood with a view to their purchase. The King of the Tuff. In 1874 the early risers in and about. De'ntou, Orange county, New York state. were accustomed to see a team of bays drawing a milk em to and from the sta- tiou. There was nothing remarkable in the appearance of this team except that they were what. might be dulled a good match. If their owner had been blessed with the gift of foresight. he would never have put the one with white feet to such base uses, nor would he have sold him for the small sum he did. Little dreamed he that the willing boy he drove to the dingy milk waggou was destined to enjoy the. worldwide fame of being king of the trotting turft. th so it was. The bright bay was not to pass his days among the dairies of Orange county drawing the cumbersome \vaggon at a very slow pace, but the dainty sulky at. whirlwind speed, and to with the plaudits of lusty throats and jewelled hands. You may any this appears poet- ical, but it is the life of the Wonderful trotter “ St. Julicn. " He is by Volun- teer, dam by Henry Clay; is a rich hay in color. with white uulrks, stands 15 hands high.- He Carries no weights, and in all his great trials against Father Time his driver never once car- ried him to at break.

Oct. 25.â€"A lunatic escaped from the Asylttm some time ago, and, armed with an axe, took to the Woods, followed after some time by me k- tipers. No trace of the runaway was obtained until the farm of Mr. Joseph Gilbert, on the 23rd concession of London towns ship, was reached. The keepers. who had a vehicle, while approaching the plaice" observéd a man apparently hid- ing behind a tree. They went up to the homestead and procured the nss‘s tance of Mr. Gilbert, and obj/0t} .ir. Nelson Wilson. The lunatic, iowcvt-r, fraught.- desperately, and. ‘t't‘irentencd to cleave the heads of any who should come tlt'l'Jt‘ him. Thr'c‘e other attend- ants at last appeared, and one of the party run in upon the lunatic whiln: the others tried to distract his attention by peltim: at. him with stones. the. Tit-- lunatic. however, used his axe to some purpose. giving an attendant a stroke which inflicted a painful bruise. 'l'hcy at last. got him down and bound him with ropes hand and foot, after which, it. is alleged by the farmers who stood by the attendants, proceeded to beat and kick the unfortunate man in an ontrageous manner. The facts have just gained the public car here. The name of the lunatic is Dan Sullivan. A Maniac Murderer. At. Shefiield. Vt., the other day Dyr’o’n Blake, a lunatic, aged 26 murdered his tnother- aged 62, his Stepfather, aged 74. and his sister with a knife, and then hanged himself. As none of the in- habitants of the house had shoWed them: selves up to noon of the tnurdcr the kitchen door was broken open. when the victims were found. 1* body of Mrs. Williams. the sister, lay with the feet near the door that he opened, that at Mr. Parks. the stepfather, lay near the sitting-room door, and that of Mrs. Parks, the mother, lay by the dom‘ lead- ing to the siukroom, near the sink. where she had apparently been Wat-thing dishes. Blake clubbed them all to death with a shot gun, breaking: the stock off on Mrs. Williams' head. the lock of the gun being found entnn .l.-d in her hair. The stock lay by her side. The walls. curtains, and mirror were hcsputtcrcd with blood, and there is a hole in the plastering of the ceiling made by an up stroke of the weapon. Dried apples from hanging tanks were scattered about the room. A part. of Mrs. Williauis' hair was pulled out, and it is supposed she started to escape and that the ma- niuc caught. her by the hair and dragged her back. Though an extraordinary strong woman she was no match for an armed maniac. The old folks, being feeble, could make little resistance. The back of Mrs. Willinms‘ head was pounded in. her teeth knocked out. and her lips cut. open. Mr. Parks' head was crushed in, oncIarm broken. and probably the neck broken. .‘l r4. Parks" head was crushed in the some as the others. The body of Baaku was found in the burn, suspended by the neck with a rein taken trorn come harness. . A Comfortable Home in the Wilds. The Canada Pacific correspondent of the Globegivcs the following dmription of a portable home constructed for an ingenious member of a firm working at. a contract on the railway : “ As every one who has visited pub'ic works will have noticed. contractors in charge of works usually have eithorto put up with the discomforts of ordinary life in the wilds, or else spend a good deal of money in building and fitting up temporary shades. Mr. Ginty, however, determined neither to expend large sums on temporary render-ant our live in comfoan quarters while he superintended the ballastinz of the line. To have created a oomlnnsble house at every point when he found it nones- sary to establish a tem quarters would have entailed a very considerable outlay; and to combine wmfort ind hbonomy be constructed for himself :i movable home, which promises. to last as long as the work does, and even then be little or nothing the worse for wear. To this end be constructed two light, round-topped boxes, like. slenderlj- constructed freight cars; carefully Ended up. water-printed and ptlitited. Bush of these contains two doors, exacin opposite each other. and in the centre of the sides. One of these, which is placed near the track, be fitted up foi his own private use. The front door opens into a snug little sitting-room. nicely papefed and carp- eted, and comfortably furnished with a centre table. book-case. sofa. and easy chairs. To the left. ot‘}his room» a door opens into a cosy and haudmmely furnished bedroom. which is occupied by Mr. Giuty himself, while on the right in another neat. little spare bedroom. fitted up in a similar manner. A third duor opens into a short, narrow hall, which leads into the second car, of the same dimensions as that. just described. The centre of the car is a small but comfortable and well furnished dining- room, to theleft of which is the kitchen, while the east or right hand end of the car contains a bed-room, which is occu- pied by Mr. Giuty's housekeeper and her husband.

It seems that he was walking along the V'ctoria track from the uorth.carrying a gun and accompanied by a brown spaniel dog. He walked close to the Midland train, which was waving slowly over the diamond crossing. The“ engine struck hitu and he staggered back a couple of yards, and then, as tho train moved up. walked to a car no if to jump on, but fell between the cars, and the wheels passed over his body abovu tthe highs, killing him instantly. The body is lying at the Midland station. It. has not been identified as yet. Ho is now lying in the freight shed of the Midland Railway. and has been seen \by hundreds of people, but all to recognize him. The coroner refuses to hold an in- qnest, as he has no suspicion ol foul play. The County Attorney also re- lused to order that an inquest be held. Ashe was killed outside of the carp oration of Lindsay. the town will take no action in the matter: It. is expected that the Midlrud Railway will cause an inquestto be held to prove theirdnuol coco.
