A letter from Fort Pitt, a small settlement the Saskatchewan Valley, British orrible incident that ttloment some weeks in America, narrates a took place in that 820 :-- A French Canadian had killed several pigs, and his tittle children had looked on in 'approving wonder at the process. Soon alter the parents went to church, and on their return were met at the door by their oldest child, Gustave, an eight-year old boy, who exclaimed in childish glee, I have killed little piggy ; come und see. He was covered with blood. What they saw may be inferred from the confession of the boy as to what had taken place. When the parents bad gone to church, Gustave pro- posed to his little brother, Adolphe, that they should play killing pig. Iu this request, it 18 supposed, the unfortunate little feliow acquiesced. The youngest was to be the pig, the eldest the butcher. Gustave eager- ly assisted his brother to undress for the tragedy, and taking a small rope, tied him down securely, to a rough lounge that stood in the room ; he then procured the butcher knife that his father had used in slavghter- ing the pigs the day before, anf plunged it into the throat of his passive and helpless brother. The wound was a mortal one, and it is supposed that death must have i'nme- diately resulted, After the child bad bled his little life away, the unnatural brother with the most incredible heartlessness, took the cord which confined the body to the lounge, and tying one end around the. feet of the corpse, lhrew the other over the beam and, lending his weight and strength, hoist- ed the body to the position in which it was found ; then, _not satisfied with the pro- gramme thus far carried out, the little butcher must needs disembowel his dead brother almost in the exact manner in which his father had the pigs the day before. it So eT -- WELL SALD, Says a sensible exchange : It matters not how many newspapers a man takes, his list is incomplete avithout his home paper. If that paper is not such as he would wish, he shoula feel that himself and neighbors are Ottawa Cancer Infirmary, responsible, in a measure, for its short com~ ya ng. Give a paper a liberal support, an ac- uve sympathy, and it will instantly respond to snch manifestations.

Nothing can supply the place of a home paper. It is the mirror in whlch the totvn aud neighborhood news is reflected, in the social, political and religious circle it fills a place no other paper can.

There is a story nhout him that was received with great effect at the wed Jing. He was in the west- ern lrontier service, aml one day (so the slory goes) he went out to hunt a bear, He had been away from camp a few hour, 1 when his voice was heard fautly in the dis- ming -- we come time the same cry was heard peated at ni ' e In a little again, but nearer; then it was intervals, nearer a the-beldedaptaine near the camp, running at the top of his speed, without a coat, hat or gun.

The other night, as the bold captain led his in- tended wife into the ehurch with the pride and grace so readily inspired by the occa- sion, some wicked wag sang out {rom the geliagy= « H-e-r-e we come !"'

A California paper gives a rather hard-to- believe story of the depth of the snow on the Sierra Neveda mountains in February and March, by desenbing a visit of a mer ohant named Adams from the valley to the mining town of Meadow lake ou the top of the mountain :--IHe procured a pair of snow-shoes, and took the tracks of some who had gone over the day before. After some hours of hard travel he arnved where the town should be, but not a house was visible. While he was looking around a an suddenly came up out of the snow, ike a mermaid out of the sea. Adams ask- ed the man if he could tell hin where Meadow Lake was, not knowing yet whe- ther the object before him was a man or a spirit." Why," said the fellow, ¢ yon are right on the plaza." Adams asked him it he could show him where the store of Adams & Johnston was. "Oh yes! come along." A few shoves on a pair of snow- shoes soon brought them to a round holein the snow, and Adams was lold that that was the hole which led to the store. Thre wero stairs made in the sn)w like a spiral way, Iwisling reveal times around the hole in making the dc scent. Finally he arrived at the bottom, and was astonished to find his friends there 3 happy and gay, and ready to vouch for the country being one of the richest ever discovered. From the store they travelled over the town through tunnels. Every one seemed to be contented with his lot. "The citizens seldom go to the top of the snow, except when there is a snow=shoe race, atwhich time the whole town turns out. ll A ---- Nover be rade, or say to aman, ¢ There's the door.'

[Continued from last week. } Mr. Carmichael suggested that those who wy confusion in the voting. aang the nommation_a lettet ed from C. he had no inlention of either house, and he de should not be put in nomination: Mr. Farewell said that he was sdtry that Mr. Draper had determined not to allow him- selfto be put in nomination, ashe himself had determined to nominate Mr. Draper, believ+ ing him to be eminently qualified for thé position. He consideredC. Draper, Esq , ond of the best politically educated gentiemer In the County, and one that would do honot to any constituency. Farewell, Es 1 | are not delegates take the gallery lo prevent. Mr. Gerrie nominated A. q. Mr. Farewell said that his friends werd aware that he had no intention of beinga candidate in the present elections. Mr. Carmichael moved thatithe nominees be heard in the order in which they werd nominated. Mr. Rratoliff sugg should first be pledged. Dr. McGill being first called said that as far as pledging was concerned, he imagined that every individual taking part in this oonvention ehiould consider himself bound to stand by the decision of that convention without being formally bound, but if it be considered necessary he would say that he would do what he could to carry into effect the decisions of the convention whether he was the successful nominee or not. The Dr. went on at considerable length in giving lis views on the leading topics of the duy, cutting pretty deeply into those who raise the cry of disloyalty inst abuse of power and wasiful expenditure. He said that his voting might not always be right but he never had given anythin, but a reform vota on any occasion. He said that the vast political changes which the great scheme' of confederation has brought about, afforded ample matter for serious coneideration and careful action in order that the great advantages of the change may be fully realized ; for none could deny that confederation, if judicionsly managed will be a very great boon to the country. The country embraced within the limits ofthe confederation, 1s of vast extent and of great value, whether we regard its unlimited capabilities for agriculture or its mexhaustible sources of mingral wealthy abounding in the most valuable and prec ions metals with other minerals of equal importance such as coal, &c. &e., while we possess an unlimited source of wealth in the finny tribes which throng our waters. We have in our. confederated state every+ thing brought within our grasp that is neces+ sary to our becoming a great, prosperous, and happy nation ; and if these results don't flow from confederation it will be begause we have managed it badly. Great Briain, mother country,has laid at our feet--in con= fedaration--the means of becoming a power= ful nation, and it is notenough that we ac- copt of the gift, but we would be unworthy sons of that noble stock did we not receive it with thankfulness, and guard it with a miser's care. We might liken our new confederacy, he said, to a great ship, and we had come together to day for the pur« pose of selecting, 1f po sible, proper men to take part in the steering of that ship. We cannot deny, he said, that there are storms, or we may say breakers ahead and we want skilful hands to guide our noble ship safely through. Doubtless, le said, inour altered relationships a largely increased ex- irectiony willbe. neces- . . in public works, such as the intercplonial railway and other works which form part and parcel of the confedera« tion scheme. He said we were greatly in- debted to the mother country for the hand some loan of $15,000,000, of course every one knew that this would not nearly com- plete the work, and if the utmost vigilence was not exercised to prevent jobbery the expense would be largely increased as was the cass in the construction of the Grand Trunk. But in past times whenever any man raised his voice against official extra< w= vagence and recklessness he was sure to be cried down as disloyal, this of course was & means suployed to cover the turpitude of the guilty.
