This is the greatest evil which has been felt in the settlement ot the Western States of the Unuion, and the mischievous effects. are now being severely felt aftter the factitiouns inflation, consequent upon the late war, has scollapsed. There has always been the eager rush of a clase of small traders, shopâ€" keepers, and adventurers, who would never recognise the fact that, the country iteelf had to become productive and seliâ€"sustaining by tarming before any firm ground for purely commercial enterprise could be relied upon.

Tus latest result of the investigations to discover the secret of the Loch Lomond murder would seem to cast very strong sus= picion upon Mr. Jouxr A. Muxnos, of 8t John, being the perpetrator of the terrible érime. No doubt remains that it was he who ealled upon the womas Cuasc at Lake‘s Hotel, in. October last, and he makes no sitempt to deny the testimony of Worpey, who swears that he drove him (Mr. Munroe) alady and child out to ollins‘, Lake Loâ€" mond, on two occasions, on the latter of pointed out theâ€" place where he had left the tliree persosg who drove out with him. °It was within a few yards of the path leading from the main road to the spot where the bodies ot the murdered woman and child were found. â€" Mr. Laxre says that the woman and child never returned after being taken away by Wornex on the Saturday which is identified as being the day when he drove Mcxsos and Mre. Curarx and the child ov; 1o Lock Lomond for the seconud time, and Muxzos returned alone, saying that Mra, Cmase would remain at the bouse of a friend whom they had been vieiting. The woman and child were never afterwards seen, and the discovery of the remains of a woman and child buried under a heap of brushwood at the place where Muxzoz and the woman and child, who accompanied him, left Worbey, seems to connect Muxnzos almost irresistibly witn the terrible crime. Mrs. Cuark and the child never returned to Laxa‘s Hotel, but on the following Monday a man, with orders from Muzzror, through W orpney, came for ber truok and valise, which were taken on board the Boston boat. Suspicion had previously fallen on a man} named Kixs, and afterwards upon Gzoroz Muzsox; but brother would probably be arrested, exâ€" plained the circumstances that it was he, and not his brother, who had been driven out to Loch Lomond with the woman spoken of by Wonney. He denied all knowledge of the murder, and after declaring that he believed that he could prove his imnocence gave himselfâ€" up o arresi. Mussos has certain admissions with regard to being in compaoy with a Mre, Vaim at the time and place named, but says that he believes he can prove that the woman with whom * be was driving on the Black River Road toâ€" wards Loch Lomond last October, has been in St. Jobhn{within a month past, and that he felt confident of being able to trace her to the States, it necessary. Thml in St. John with regard to the sudden disâ€" covery of this awiul tragedy still continues effort to discover the real criminal. .

But there is not that strict agreement among the various views, which is degitable if real use is to: be made of such prognuostications. In 1772 Mr. Winn preâ€" sented to the Royal Society a memoir, in which be sought to prove that the aurora borealis invariably presages a tempest from the south or southâ€"east. But Kaemts is of opinion that no such law really holds. Too much is now known of the enormousâ€"range of country over which auroras are often simulâ€" tancously visible to permit us to draw so definite a conclusion. He considers, bowâ€" ever, that brilliant auroras, darting long rays, may be looked upon as commonly the precurâ€" sors of violent gusts of wind, and ot extraorâ€" ainary irregularities in the distribution of heat over the earth‘s surface. We do not propose to speculate on the causes of auroras, because as yet the nmhn been too little explored to enable a to be established on a satisfactory basis. We know that there is an Association between the aurora and terâ€" restrial magnetism, and thus we can readily assicn electricity_as the origin of the appearancs presented to us, We can also * indicate with every probability : minute joy.. particles . which form light feathery clouds of the upper regions of air as the trhe seat of the electric action, . But how this action is generated, and in what way it operates, we bhave at present no satisfactory meaus of ascertaining, It has beenâ€"thought that as other planets besides the earth must be ugcct to magâ€" netic forces curresponding to those which we include under the general term terrestrial magnetism, it might be possible for the asâ€" tronomer, under favourable circumstances, t» become aware of the existence of auroral displays takiung place on those bodies,. We could not hor, of course, to witness auroras on Mars orJupiter, or any of the plansets whose paths lie outside the earth‘s, because these bodies turn always their iHumfnated rhphru towards us. But Mercury and enus, whose paths lie within the earth‘s, Nenus, whose paths lie within the earth‘», are often seen as mere sickleâ€"snaped threads of light, and there seems ing to pre= vent our .discerning auroral display on . these planets, whenever one _ of unusnal splendour happened to hbe in progress, especially as, on account of their nearness to the sun, we may reasonably supâ€" pose that all magnetic phenomeba are preâ€" sented upon them with much greater intensity than on our own earth. Also, as these bodies occasionally pass across the disk of the sun, at which time their unilluminated hemisphere is seen by us as a black spot, it seems at first sight that we might fairly hope to see signs of auroral phenomena during the progress of a transit ot either planet. Indeed, the faint spots of light which our most eminent obâ€" servers have detected upon these bodies when crossing the sun‘s face have been assumed by some to be indicative of auroral displays. But in reality, this view must be abandoned, or held, at the least, to be high!y improbable. 1t mustinot be forgotten that when a planet Is crossing the sun‘s disk, weâ€"can only watch the phenomenon by mtl'y’ reducing the sun‘s &t. And there can be no doubt whatcver the meabs we employ to reduce the inâ€" tense splendour of the sun‘s light, so that the eye can look without pain upon his disk, must suflice to blot out altogether any light we could reasonably assign the auroral displays upon gither of the inf:rior planets.â€"St. Pauls, ALLEGED SEDUCIION LN 8t.

For several days past the public mind, within a radius of a block from the Occidenâ€" tal Hotel, bas been violently agitated by the report that an affair of honour was about to take place between two gentlemen, named James R.
