It is a much to he lamented but in- disputable fact that crime in this coun- try is increasing with an alarming ra- pidity altogether out of proportion to 5 the rate of increase in the population. residence directly opnmitc Carr's: Deposited uilh lln-I mutton Government and otherwise vested ' r liardl' a day passes without adding to the list of assaults, murders. swindlcs, highway robberies and burglaries. and beyond any doubt the. one particular crime that is b--coming more popular titan all the others is burglary. There are two causes for this ; one being the increase in the number of stores and dwel lugs worth breaking into ; and the other. the ease. with which the thieves escape. with their booty. being so safe anti profitable, it is no wonder that the rogues of the commu- nity turn their attention to it; and un- less the “organized gangs of burglars " said to exist be broken up by the arrest and punishment of the leading mem- bers, the time will soon arrive when ev- cry man’s premises will b‘.‘ in danger of a nocturnal visit. and the. possessors of valuable portable property, as well as the custodians of public or government funds. will go to bed in fear and tremb- ling. l’unishing them would be easy enough ; but the trouble is to get hold ofthent. Mrs, filasse. the authoress of an ancient cOokery hook, in giving in- structions how to cook a bare, wisely observed “ first catch your bare ; " and you must first catch your burglar before you can subject him to unpleasant- nesses. We are not as ready as some are to blame the city or town police or the rural Const thulary when a burglary is committed and the perpetrators get away ; for everybody knows that, when a Strong building is to be broken into or a safe opened, burglars go in pairs, and one watches and listens for the ap- proach of the representative of the law while the other attends strictly to busi- ness. As the celebrated Sir Boy] 2 Ilocltc truthfully observed, “ No man can be, in two places at once unless he’s a bird ; " and as a policeman or constable is not a bird, it is unreasonable to sup pose that he can superintend the opera- . tions of the, “ cracksmen " and be away down street at the same time. The police and constahulary no doubt do the best they can towards preventing and detecting crimes. but unless their num- bers be so increased as to be frightfullv expensive, thieves will always break in and steal wherever there is a great temptation to them to do so. and the treasure is left unguarded. It is now generally admitted that safes, even the best of them, are but little protection against professional burglars, and that if they were not fireproof they would be of scarcely any use. What bankers, jewellers and rich men really need is a safe to protect their money or valuables front fire, a well armed, able bodied. t'ouragcnus and honest watchman to guard the safe, and a sharp little dog with a good nose to prevent any one from creeping up and suddenly seizing ‘ the watchman. Opposed by such a combination, burglars would find their occupation gone; but at present, with safes that they can open in a few min- utes located either in uninhabited build- ings or remote front the sleeping apart- ments of the occupants. they drive a roaring trade. Another thing that greatly encourages them is the feeble ! and half hearted attempt g~.-neral|v made to bring them to justice, We are told that after the burglarr in liiudsaywan account of which “ill be found in an- . other column and which suggested these remarkssâ€"eonstablcs were sent in pur~ suit 2 but how far they went we have not heard. and take it for granted that ' chase is proverbially a lung t'l‘ttst'; hunt 3 mg. whether after men or animals. is. 3 generally t‘Xpr"ll.~l\'t‘ shall be prepared to till all onlrrs at a fe“ ‘ days Parties “.2! - is! by inspecting this c any ullu‘r. .lt ti.r :r own litter- urn l-et‘azre buying \\'ll.l.i.\.\l DAVIS. t‘enrlon Falls.

An account will be found in another: column ol‘the death of Joan Johnston. i of l'eterbornugh. who '1" shot through ‘ the heart on Sunday. the 5th last, in the woods in the township ot Aostruth- I er. where the body laid for' nine days‘ before it was disenvered. The death: is called “mysterious.” but in our 0- pinion there is very little mystery about it. a: there can be scarcely a doubt that the unfortunate man was killed bya bullet from the rifle of some person who was hunting in the Woods. and who is! perhaps even yet unaware that. he has: taken the life of a fellow creature. At 3 the inquest which was commenced (but: the conclusion of which has not been: published) two of Johnston's fellow workmen deposed that they heard a shot fired in the direction he had gone, that there was another shanty three miles off. and that there was a hunting party not far from the shanty to which deceased belonged. Ashe had no wea- part he could not have shot himself eith. er accidentally or purposely; and there is not the shadow of a reason for believ- The only plausible explanation of the Occurrence therefore is, that he was killed by al stray bullet ; and his fate. and that of l the young titan who was mistaken for a ; deer last winter. north of l\'inmount,l proves that hunting, though a healthful and exciting recreation. has the draw- back of being a dangerous one as well. While sporting rifles are made to kill times as far as there is any necessity forâ€"and sportsmen fzuwy that as soon as they get into the Woods they are at liberty to shoot at any moving thing. whether they can plainly see what it is or not, accidents will happen. and would be of frequent occurrence if all hunters were as careless as some of them are. When a number of them are within less titan a tulle of each other, they run. nearly as much risk of being shot as the l dccr do. and each one. of them. before i taking aim at any object. should make quite sure that is not a human being or i a domestic animal.

October 30,â€"On Sunday morning about two o'clock a daring and . successful burglary was committed in, this town. Thejewelry store owned by Mr. G. W. Ben“ was entered, and the contents of one large safe carried off. The burglars were evidently well posted, and probably had a confederate on the ground for some time previous laying out the work. The door of Mr. T. D. Moore's law 05cc immediately over the store was forced in, and with tools, which had been stolen from the carriage works of L. O'Connor, 3 section of the floor was bored across and the boards taken up. The ceiling below was also cut through. By means of a rape the robbers lowered themselves to the floor below and attacked one of the larger safes in which-Mr; Beall kept his stock over night. The sale was a kcyloek safe. A three-eighth inch hole was drilled near the lock and the bolts shot back. The entire contents of the safe ber of gold and silver watches, chains, aml general ji-wclry. The value will probably reach $3000. The drawers in which the goods were p‘aCcd in the safe were piled up in a neat heap. and the whole job gives cvidenCe tlnt skill'ul hands had executed the. \v-u'k. The robbery was discovered bv )lr. Beall. who called at his store on his way to church to see if things were all right, as was his usual custom. Previous to the. burglary being discovered it was found that a horse and rig owned by Dr. Kempt had been stolen from his stable and driven off. During the afternoon the horse was found grazing in a field about eight miles south of Lindsay on a road leading to the Ontario d: Quebec station at I’outy pool. The rig was also found concealed in a clump of tamarac on the farm of Mr. \V. Metiill.

He had been working on Irwin‘s timber limits in the township of Anstruther, in this county, about 60 miles north of l’cterboro'. On Sunday.

One day last week John Quick. of Green, I’m, went out to shoot a wood- chucl:. He shot the animal as it. sat sunning itself at the moutlt of its burrow. and it fell over. Quick walked upto pick up his game. He took hold of one of the woodchuck's fore legs. when the animal let ltim know that it was not yet dead by closing its jaws on the hunter's wrist. Its teeth almost met. in the man's arm, and its hold was not relaxed, and the woodchuck died with its teeth buried in the flesh. Quick was unable to get the jaws loose, and, having no knife to cut them loose, he was obliged to walk a mile home with the dead animal fast to his wrist and arm. which were badly swollen. The. jaws of the woodehuck were cut loose. and removed. It is feared that Quick will lose his arm. ‘0 English Agricultural Depression.

While three men were pushing a car of coal along a tramway over the 'l‘nom- as' coke ovens. at Tunnelton. W. Ya. no the night of October leth, a boy called their attention to a crack in the top of the oven. \Vhile examining it the. top caved in, precipitating the men into a mass of white hot. Coke.

This is the worst precedent it could be possible to establish in free countries. If every man who uses a lie in a horse trade was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. the public halls, wholesale houses. skating rinks, etc, would have to be transformed into prisons. Capt.
