Tim young girl, Annie Parker, on whose singular testimony a whole iam~ ily were a few months ago in great dan- ger of being convicted of a most atrocin ens murder in Shediac, N. B., has been set at large after a long threatened pro- secution for perjury. It will be re- membered that a hotelâ€"keeperat Menc- ton, named McCarthy. disappeared very mysteriously some time in the fall of 187 8, that he was traced by his relatives to Shediae, and that it was admitted that on the night of his disappearance he had been seen at two or three differ- ent hotels in the place, including the Waverley House. This place was kept by the Osborne family and Annie Park- : or was their domestic servant. Some months afterwards the latter gave inâ€" formation to the effect that McCarthy had been robbed and murdered in the bar of the Waverley House by Mrs. Osborne and her son, who took the body away and threw it into the Scadouc 1 River. During the course of the subâ€"- sequent investigation the body was ac. tuall y found under circumstances which gave much colour of truth. to her state~ ment. The jury at the Assizes, how- ever, disagreed, and the Usbornes inr- mediately commenced a lu'osecntion of the girl for perjury, The evidence tak- en at the trial showed conclusively that if she was peujuring herselfothers were no better, her story being as little open to rebuttal as any other. This tum of afi'airs leaves the Shediac murder an unsolved and apparently insoluble my~ stery. half the poople in the world are crazy. The whole ot the proceedings went to show that although the governing class in Kentucky may not be so lawless as in autumn; times, yet it is still possible in that favored legion for u bluc- blood ed misoreuut to shoot down a judge ll) blond dayli'vht, to glory in his act and to had influential fuiends to saw him from a fate similm‘ to that with which he visited his unsuspecting victim.

The thief had evidently been caught in * the effort to get out, and the vigilante let once went to work to relieve him from his unfortunate position. They first tried to pull him through by the ems, but mend it no go. They then i tried to kick the top of his head 00', for they evidently had no sympathy with one whom they enmiosed to lieu robber. They were, lioWever, too unsteady'and uncertain of their aim to accomplish this ;nnd so finally they lifted the grnt ing and one of them drawing a huge knife deliberately proceeded to decapi- tate the unfortunate fellow. The roars of the poor creature did not deter them and they only deeisted when the knife hnd oompietelv severed the head of the old tom out from the bodyâ€"Guide. A boy was riding up Walton street on Monday evening with a box of, twoâ€" quet in his arms, when his horse became unmanageable and the box falling, frightened him. still more. The plunges of the horse uneeuted therider, whose foot caught in the stirrup and only by a gooJ fortune got loose in time to save the boy's life. The foolishness oi the attempt to carry an article so bulky and clumsy to hold as a. box of croquet was commented on, as well as the want of judgement of those who sent the boy on such an errand, whereby heron the closest possible risk of losing his life. The Ind’s name was Robert Marshall. A woman from the country made a most disgraceful exhibition of helself in front of the St. Lawrence Hall and The Guide office on Saturday evening, using obsene language, such as is seldom heard on our streets by the lowest hlaekgnard of the male persuasion. She had evi~ dently been drinking, and was eucour~ aged in her violent language and actions by some persons who should have known better. It was well for her that the Chief Constable was not around at the time or she would have npent her Suun day under the clock, and then become disenwhanted. Wm. Hobbs, son of F.
