Why the above conâ€" fessionâ€"Wwhicb, considering the circumstances of the Burdell murder, has all the appearance of truth, was so long withheld from the : pubâ€" lic, is a mystery which the World writer does not explain, to a writer who profeeses to solve the almost forgotten mystery.

This is not the first roof of a drill shed that has given way under similar circumstances, as well as other buildâ€" ings, and there ought to be an inquiry institutâ€" ed as to whether theâ€" plans upon which public edifices are built are jnefficient, or whether it is the fault of defectiv mnterhf, and bad meâ€" chanical construction, to which these disasters are attributable, & 2 Draiue Suep Partiacoy Destrorso.â€"Yesterâ€" day morning it was discovered that the roof of the drill shed in the township of Gloucester, on the Eastern bank of the Rideau river, had given way under the accumulated weight of snow which had fallen upon it during the past few days, It appears that the pressure of the snew had become zo great as to force out the Sqvare Timnerâ€"Wo understand that in con:equence of the deep snow about Green‘s creek, and some other places, the making of square timhber has been entirely suspended, the men and the teams engaged in the business finding it quite impossible to carry on their operations.

We must occaâ€" sionally give credit, and when a young man has got to the end of a fortune, and is on our books, we are let in, for the parents will not pay this class of debt, and the young fellow is off on his travels. : Ah! sir," continued my friend with a smile, "the Parisian jewellor‘s ledger is a very romantic novel. Frenchmen are evidently;the most generous fellows in the world with a certain class of fallen angels.
