On Saturday last the city of Dublin was decorated with flags and banners, and many of the inhabitants kept. holi- day, to welcome the new Lord-Lieuten- ant, l'ar‘. bpcnccr, who arrived by spe- cial train in tl-c, morning, accompanied by Lord Frederick Cavendish, the re- ecntly appointed Chitf-Sccrctary. After the ceremony of installation, which took place, amidst. general rejoicing, in the afternoon, the two noblemcu retired to their official residences in Phoenix Park, where the residence of the Under-Secre- tary is also situated. After dining, Lord Cavendish went. for a walk in the park, ; where he \vas met. or overtaken by the Fuller-Secretary, Mr. Thomas IIavilaud Burke, who was being drivcu home, and who immediately nlightcd and join- ed his superior, telling the car driver to return to the city. The time was a lit- tlc past 7 o'clock, and the two gentle drove up and four mcn, with slouchcd hats pulled low down over their forc- l heads, sprang out and rushed upon Lord Cavendish and )Ir. Burke, whom l they attacked with knives, and who must. have almost instantly fallen dead under the blows of the assassins. Their bloody deed accomplished, the perpet- rators jumped into their e'ir, the driver of which was waiting for them, and the _ horse was lashed into a furious gallop. l The bodies, covered with dreadful wounds, \vcrc soon afterwards discover- ed by two young gentlemen who were , bicycling in the park, and who at once i communicated the terrible news to the 'I'hc thrill of horror which was l police. whole civilized world, and telegrams ex- ,prcssiug exccration of the crime and l . . tlms have poured tn from all quarters.

Tthrent Valley-1000221. The Trent Valley Canal, which late- ly had to give precedence to political matters, has once more become the chief topic of conversation in this village. On Friday of last week the Ilev. Mr. Lo- gan, who is one 0f the warmest support- ers of the project, received a telegram from Sir Charles Topper announcingr that. $290,000 had been voted for locks at. Fenelou Falls, Buckhorn and But‘- lcigli; but a great many found some difficulty’ in believing that the good news could be true, as the Toronto dailies gave the amount as only $25,000, and . the Pctcrborough Evening Review pub- lished the same figures, with an 0min- our absence of remark. But the people of Pctcrborough, thinking there must be a mistake, dcputcd their mayor to tele- graph to Sir Charles for information, and the reply was that $290,000 had been granted, which statement is cou- lirmcd by the supplementary estimates, now before us. This sum is to be ex- pended for “construction of locks and improvement of navigation between Lakcficld and Balsam Luke.” Mr. Bel- cher, of Peter-borough, arrived here on Friday, and on Monday morning com- tncnced work with his assistants laying out. the route of the canal, which will run along Water street. between the grove :iud the river. It. is generally un- derstood that ground will be broken as soon as Mr. Belchcrb preliminaries arc completed, and, if so, we may expect t0 sec a strong force 0f navvics diligently wielding p'cks and shovels within a pe- riod that. may now be counted by days.

In this riding some extra work has been caused by the addition of the seven new town- ships, and a meeting is to bc held at Kinmount 0n Monday next. to afford the Reform inhabitants of the newly acquired territory an opportunity of ex- pressing their opinion on political mat- ters.

Francis Pilk'tc, a French Canadian who died in this vil- lage, was taken to Lindsay fc'r inter- ment. in the Catholic burying-ground, and Mr. A. Lulibcrtc, his father, and l two other countrymen of the deceased accompanied it. While returning home in a light. spring wnggou, Mr. .Lalibcrte took out his pocket-book forthe purpose of returning 5') cents which he had bor- rowed from his father earlier in the day, and, having done so, closed the, pocket book, which contained seven 0r eight. dollars, and put it into the out- side pocket of his overcoat, on the side next. to the person who occupied tho some scat. lle thought. it was safe, but. when he reached the Falls it was gone, and what became of it is a mys- tery; for it could hardly have been jerk- ed out of the waggon, which had a deep box, and the road was smooth and level. 1/‘tlic pocket. book was lost, the finder must know who it. belonged to, as it had Mr. Lalibcrtc's name, business and address written at. full length on the in- side of the flap. lla'rs vs. Gosthns.-It has lately been settled iu the Old Country that no kind of poultry is so profitable as geese, and this would no doubt. be true were it not for the tendency of the goslings during their infancy to tumble into holes too deep for theta to get cutoff, and their liability‘ to be devoured by rats and weasels, of which Mr. ll. Day- mau, of this village, has had a sad cs- pericueo. On the night. of the 5th inst. his two old geese retired to rest. each with a dozen nice little ones under her maternal wings, but. next morning eigh- teen out. of the twenty-four gosliugs had mysteriously disappeared. Of course a search was atonco instituted, and, upon raising the floor of the goose house, thc dead bodies of eleven of the murdered innocents were found in a little heap, but: the other seven had been carried to parts unknown. What. sort, 0f animal had committed the bloody dccd could only bc conjectured; but as two huge rats have since been caught in the trap that, was promptly set, it is inferred that they \vere the perpetrators. The moral of this story is that if you want to raise gccsc you must. keep thcm at night. in some place into which vermin cannot possibly gain admittance. Newspaper Thieves Beware. A new postal law or decision in tlic U. S. authorizes the publishers of news- papers to arrest any man as a thief who takes their papers and refuses to pay for them. This is a fair and judicious law, and should have been enacted years ago, as a means of protection to publish- ers, for there are lots of persons who will take a paper for a time, and when asked to pay for it will laugh at the publisher and tunntingly defy him to get it ifhc can. In this manner pub- lishers lose hundreds of dollars. The law is intended to mcctjust. such ras- cals, and publishers generally should unite iti having it. enforced. A little of the same kind 0f law in Canada would not be out 0f place, and would ' move a boon to publishers who lose n large sum annually rather than sue dc‘ linquent subscribers by the present IJi- vision Court process, which is slow, doubtful and expensive, for it. is an easy matter to get judgment, but quite nn~ other to enforce collection of it.-- Ex- c/i'mye. ___..._~_ .

With all the llcform and many of the Conservative journals, we must eon- fcss our surprise at the scope and range of the Redistribution Bill. We looked for the creation of new ridings iu coun- tics where the census showed the popu- lation to have increased to the proper extent, or the rc-arranging of electoral 5 divisions where this could not. be enn- vcuiently done, but we find instead a complete transformation of the political map of Ontario.

To show that thc excuse’ for timngling the constituencies in this manner is false is the easiest matter possible, and numerous instances could. be cited. Townships are taken off here, and added there, in opposition to the- principle of representation by pop-uh», tion, and none but the blindcst partnau' can deny it.
