A letter from Fort Pitt, a small settlement in% the Saskatchewan Valley, British America, narrates & horrible incident that took place in that Wtiloment some weeks ago: -- A French Canadian had killed several pigs, and hie bittle children had looked on in approving wonder at the process. Soon alter the parents went to church, and on their return were met atthe door by their oldest child, Gustave, an eight-year old boy, who exclaimed in childish glee, I huve killed little piggy ; come und see. He was covered with blood. What they saw may be inferred from the confession of tha boy as to what had taken place. When the parents had gone to church, Gustave pro: posed to his little brother, Adolphe, that they should play killing pig. In this request, it 15 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 thé butcher knife that his father had used in slaughter ing the pigs the day before, and plunged i 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 had bled his hile 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, threw 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. 8 el eee WELL SAID, Says a sensible exchange : It matters not how many newspapers a man takes, his list is incomplete without his home paper. If that paper is not such as he would wish, he shoula feel that himself and neighbors are responsible, in a measure, for its short com= ing. Give a paper a liberal support, an ac- tive sympathy, and it will instantly respond to such manifestations. Let an editor feel that his efforts are appreciated, and he isthe moet responsible being on earth ; his paper being a part ot himselt, he is as sensative to praise or censure as a doting lather, Nothing ean supply the place of a home paper. It is the mirror in whieh the town aud neighborhood news is reflected, in the social, political and religious circle it fills a place no other paper can. When a need of economy compels you to curtail your newspaper list, strike off every other one before you say to the publisher of your home journal--¢ stop my paper." - Be HeE-R-E Wik COME: - There was a wedding in a church in a village near Chicago, recently, wlich was attended by a crowd of people, the bride be- ig a famous belle in this section, and the bridegroom a late army officer. There isa story nhout him that was received with great effect atthe wed ling. He was in the west- ern frontier service, an one day (so the story goes) he went out to hunt a bear. He had been away from camp a few hours, when his voice was heard faintly in the dis- tance exclaiming -- e-r-e we come I? In a little time the same cry was heard again, but nearer; then it was repeated at intervals, nearer and louder ; when finally the bold captain emerged from a bit of woods near the camp, running at the "top of his In he ' came to camp shouting ¢ Here we oto | «¢ Here who comes ?"? inquired a brother officer. ¢« Why, me and the game," gasped the officer, pointing to a big bear who showed himself at the hedge of the wouds, took a look at the camp, and then with a growl at missing his expected meal off the captain disappeared in the woods again. « But why didn't you shoot tne bear, and then bring him in?" inquired one. « What's the use in shooting your game 2" rv | said the captain, testily, ¢ when you can bring it in alive, as I did 7"? The story got homo before the captain did, and was in everybody's mouth. ~The other night, as the bold captain led his in- tended wile into the eharch with the pride and grace so readily inspired by the occa- sion, some wicked wag sang out {rom the gallery-- « [-e-r-¢ we come!' Which was followed by such a shout: of laughter as that old ctiurch never heard be- fore. tll em Anerican Feer.--The New York Hide and Leather Journal ngtices a few of the diflerences tm the shape of the pedal ex- tremities of people in various sections of the United States.

Rhode Island, though the smallest state in the Union, can boast of some of the biggest feet that ever trode sole leather. The mid- dle States require slimmer shoes and higher in the instep than the east. Tho instep grows higher as we progress southward, commencing with Virginia, and the foet shorter and more plamp. Rarely, at the north, does a full gown man wear less than a No. 6, running up in the scale sizes to No. 11, bat at the south many a full sized man wears fours and fives, and seldom over nines.

Never be afraid of becoming an old maid, fair reader. An old maid is far more honorable than a heartless wife, and "single blessedness" is greatly saperior in point of happiness to wedded life without love. " Fal not in love, dear girls--beware !" says the song. But we do not agres with said song on this question. On tho con- trary, we held that it is 3 food thing to fall n love, or get in love, if the loved object be worthy one. To fall in love with an hon- ee an is as proper as it is for an hon- orable man to fall 1n love with a viiiuous and amiable woman, What could be a more gratifying spectacle than asight so pure, so approaching in its devotion to the celestjcal ? Not fall in love us spon as you like, pro- vided 1t be with a suitible | Fall 1a love 'and then marry ; less you do love. @ Never marry for » « home'? or a husband"? never degrade yourselfby becoming a patty to such an' alliance. Never sell yourself, body and soul, on terms so contemptible. Love digmfies all things ; it enables all conditions. With love, the marriage rite 18 traly a sacrament. Without it, the cere- mony is base fraud, and the act a human desecration. Marry lor love, or not at all.

A DEXP BNOW IN CALIFORNIA. 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 on the top of the mountain :--MHe 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 arrived where the town should be, but not a house was visible. While he was looking around a an suddenly came up ont of the snow, ike a mermaid out of the sea. Adams ask- ed the man if he could tell him where Meadow Lake was, not knowing yet whe- ther the object before him was a man or a spirit. " Why," said thie 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 hole in the snow, and Adams was told that that was times around the hole in making the dc scent. Finally he arrived at the bottom, and was astonished to find his friends there j 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, at which time the whole town turns out. tt ce tl A -- Nover be rude, or say to aman, ¢ There's the door.'

[Continued from last week. Mr. Carmichael suggested that thoss who are not delegates take the gallery lo prevent any confusion in the voting. ring the nomination a leitet wa : he had no intention of ' either house, and he desire should not be put in nomination. Mr. Deemed 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 gualiffed for thé position. He consideredC. Draper, Esq , ond of the best politically educated gentiemert In the County, and one that would do honof to any constituency. Mr. Gerrie nominated A. Farewell, Esq, Mr. Farewell said that his friends werd aware that he had no intention of beings candidate in the present elections. Mr. Carmichael moved thatthe nominees be heard in the order in which they werd nominated. Mr. Rratoliff suggests that the nominees should first be plddged. Dr. McGill being first called said that as far as pledging was concerned, he imagi that every dividual taking part in this oonvention should consider himself bound td 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 his views on the leading topics of the duy, cutting pretty deeply into those who raise the cry of disloyal against abuse of power and wastful expenditu He said that his voting might not always be right but he never had given anything but a reform vota on any occasion. o said that the vast political changes which the great scheme of confederation has brought about, afforded ample matter for serious consideration and careful action in order that the great advantages of the change may be fully realized ; for none could deny that confederation, if judiciously 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 agrioultare or its mexhaustible sources of mingral wealth} abounding mn 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 bee we have managed it badly. Great Britain mother country,has laid at our feet--in con= fodoration--the means of becoming a power ful nation, and it is not enough that we ac- of their blackguard remarks, we commend Feept 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 coufederacy, he said, loa 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, lie said, inour altered relationships n largely increased ex+ penditure in some directions will be neces~ sary, for instance in public works, such as the intercolonjal railway and other works which form part and parcel of the confeder: 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 case in the construction of the Grand Trunk.
