He found the body ofihc second girl, Annie, between the house and the barn. and inside the barn was the body of Elizabeth, the eldest. It was at first thought that the quad- ruple murder had been committed by a tramp. who had assualted and killed the eldest girl in the barn, and then made away with the other three. in the hope of leaving no clew to his identity; but Detective McCaskill, of the Mont- real Secret Service, who was sent to the scene of the murder, suspected and ar- rested Thomas Nulty, and on the way FOR STYLE AND ECONOMY COMBNED . to Jolictte the wretched creature made afull confession.

The place was a mere hovel, in which the seven mem- bers of the samily herded together like pigs, and they were miserably poor and ignorant. They were well thought of by the neighbors, and the murderer is said to have a not unpleasiut: counte- nance ; but his head is of the degenerate type, he can neither read our write, and x seems to be but little above an animal in intelligence. After committing the terrible crime he went away and spent five hours with the girl to whom he was engaged, returning at midnight, and, until he confessed to the detective on Saturday, gave no evidence of being: troubled by what he had done. The sensibilities of the old couple are so , blunted by poverty and ignorance that ‘ the father was little more affected by l the death of his children than if they assorted, most stylish and cheapest stock of iaittiniswv in town.

The unfortunate creature a you, son at Mr. Thomas Sugzitt's, ‘ caused, or was followed by, the disease '3 called “ black throat," and his tonsils 1 and palate were almost entirely eaten , away. In our opinionâ€"and we feel sure medical men, as well as many others, will agree with nsâ€"he is hardly ' fit to be at large, as his queer personal appearance, staggering gait, and the un- couth sounds that he utters might have a terrifying effect upon nervous women and children. He is not, as a rule, vic- ions, but is easily excited; and. though not absolutely idiotic, his intellect is affected to an extent. that would no doubt render him irresponsible for his actions. He is able to earn a trifle occasionally by doing. odd jobs, and about a fortnight ago. because his mother bought a pair of boots for hiui with his own money, he flew into a passion, struck her in the face with his fists, and then picked up a stick, but was prevented by his step- father from using it. This offence was made a pretext for sending him to the Lindsay jail, from which he will have to be released in a few days; and on Tuesday last Col. Deacon came to the Falls and took the evidence of Dr. Graham and the unfortunate young man's mother as to his mental condition, with the view of getting him into the Asylum at Orillia ; of which, however, there is no immediate prospect, as there are 120 applicants for admission and no vacancies. As, therefore, he is likely to re-appcar on our streets, we can only caution the village boys not. to tease or in any way irritate him, and those who do so ounht to be punished. A Tragedy in Bexley. What was at first reported to be a murder, but was probably only an accident, took p'ace last 'l‘uesday after- noon in the township of Bexley, a few miles from the three villages of Cobo- cook. Norland and Kinmount. There have been so many conflicting; reports that we don't know which to believe. but are inclined to think that the fol- lowing: is substantially correct. Mr. Samuel Luii’s second son, a lad about . ‘l7 years old, had been chopping near the house, and went in to warm himself, as it. was a windy (lav, and a soft, wet snow was falling. After a while he re- turned to his work, and in a few min- utes rc-entercd the house and told hi~x mother that William . Lee, the son of their neighbor, Mr. Edujard Lee, had accidentally shot. himself through the head, and was lying: dead where he (Luff) had been chopping. After leav- ing word at Mr. Lee’s house, the boy Went to where his father was working on the T. V. C. at Kirkfield, and was by him brought back. The first report that reached the Falls was to the effect that the two young fellows were out hunting touethcr. and that, in a quarrel over a deer which they had killed, Luff had deliberately shot his companion, and had made a confession to his own father; but we now have information from what we consider a reliable source. that Lee. who was about 22 years old. was kilod by a bullet from his own rifle. and that his death was in some way the result of an accident. An iii- quest was. of course, held; but it was commenced so late, Owing to the difli culty of getting a Coroner, that we have not yet heard the result. Powles' Corner.
