On a table in the dining-room was a cup strongly smelling of carbolic acid and an ounce bottle of the drug two-thirds full. The neighborhood being aroused and diligent search instituted, the murderer was found writhing in agony on the banks of a. creek a quarter of a mile from his house. Here was evidence of a. terrible struggle. The poor unfortunate had thrown himself into the water, rolling from bank to bank in his agony, the muddy soil being worked smooth and bearing the deep imprints of his body, Morrison, who was speechless, was at once borne to his desolate home. Dr. Norton, coroner, was sent for. Upon his arrival he used the stomach pump and administered antidotes, and at the hour of writing the patient has rallied somewhat, but is still only partially conscious. His recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Morrison, broken.hearted, has just returned to the sad home. No reason can be assigned for the awful act. Temporary insanity must be the only explanation. Morrison had always been a kind and indulgent husband and father, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. During their honeymoon they had been sitting and sighing and talking poetry in the balcony for three hours, all of which time he had both her hands tightly clasped in his. Finally she broke forth : SHELBURXE, Ont., April :24.â€" A terrible tragedy occurred this morning about a mile and a half north of here, at the resi- dence of one Thomas Morrison, a hereto- fore respectable farmer. Mrs. Morrison had gone away from home for a couple of days to visit :1 sick sister, leaving her hus- band with five children, the eldest a girl of 13 years of age, and the others ranging in age down to a bright little lad of a Couple of summers. The youngest slept with his eldest sister. When the latter awoke this morning she was surprised to find that he was not by her Slde. She went in search of him and to her horror found the little boy stifi' in death, laid out upon a quilt on the kitchen floor. Beside him lay the bodies of his sister aged five and his brother aged seven. A barrel half full of water stood in the corner of the room. By the dripping of the water on the floor the tale was told of their death by drowning. part. It would alSo be well for them to carefully eXamine the constitution of the late Confederate States, which contains some excellent provisions. This docu~ ment is no longei'in use by the people for whom it was intended, and no one will object to its being appropriated. The constitution of Switzerland is well worthy of study, as is that of the Republic of Chili. In the opinion of many, the articles of confederation adopted when the Do- minion of Canada was formed contain more desirable provisions than the con- stitution of any republic in the world. The constitution of the United States gives to Congress the power to legislate on cer- tain matters, but leaves the several States to legislate on all other matters. What may be called the C-‘IlStltutlUIl of Canada reverses this. It defines and restricts the power of the pro\ incial Government, and gives to the national Pzirli-unent all powers not granted to provinces. Deplorable Tragedy at Sh-elburne, Ont.

Frank took his punishment very quietly, pocketed his pride, washed the blood from his face, proceeded to the agency, and the cert mony was performed. Married By a. Ghost. 1 The New York Commercial Advertiser says: The ghost of the Rev. T. Starr King married a couple at San Francisco on Sunday night. The Spirit of the once celebrated clergyman and lecturer did not appear in person, but was represented by a. Spiritualist medium, who assured the lovers that they were as firmly tied to- gether as if Mr. King had materialized and twisted the nuptial knot, with his own hand. Marriage by proxy has hitherto; been performed by representatives of the ; principals to the contract or by the repre- ‘ sentative of one of them. The San Fran- cisco wedding is probably the first in which the officiating clergyman, and he a ghost, has been :1 proxy. There has been at least one sceptre bridegroom, but never before. so far as we know, has a ghost projected itself into the flesh in order to make two lovers supremely blessed. If such a proceeding should turn out to be illegal no sheriff would ever be able to reach the offending ghost with a. writ or an officer. tive young bucks of the POT-POURRI.

RICHMOND, Va., April 22.â€"The proposed excursion of the Pan-American delegates was cut short by the reception here of a. telegram from Secretary Blaine ordering the return of the special train to Washington. When the train reached the city there were but four delegates aboard. It has just come out that it is the cus- tom in many London parishes for the poor boards to provide able bodied pau- pers with brooms and assign them t!) sweep certain crossings, making them support themselves from what they can get in this way, and thus reducing the workhouse expenses proportionately.

A few weeks before she had dreamed of seeing an open grave toward which was carried the remains of a young girl.
