Last week, in St. Antoine, an event of a

eurred in the household of a man named
Magliore Giard. [t appears he and his wife
had left their house, to work at the distance
of a few acres therefrom, confiding the care
of the dwelling and a child in the cradle to
their little gitl, twelve years of age. The
latter haying gone from home to play with a
comrade cbild, a pig broke through the door,
and, entering the house, rushed on the child
in the eradle, tearing one of ite sides and la-

cerating its head and face in a frightful |

manner. The little girl hearing the child's

There are, as I learn, about forty thousand

tributed, as they ought to be, through all regiments
and all arms of the serviee, and have never been
tormed inte an Irish brigade. They do not pre-
tend te tight this American quarrel as Jrishmen;
nor do they deseerate the name or prostrate the
flag of Jreland at all. As for the Northern Lrish,
who seem to have got themselves persuaded that
the enfrauchisement of Ireland is somehow to
result from the subjugation of the South, and that
the repeal of ene Union ju sy a depends ou the

—merely one of the Yankee insignia. In all this
[ agree with them entirely. Nobody has a right to
anturl the colors of Ireland in a war of invasion,
and plunder sod ecoercian. These Irish at the
South have never pretended to qwix up their native
country iu the struggle; they indulge in ne Fenten-

their banners no round towers, wolf dogs, or

this influence was xed most perseveringly, and

exceptions, warmly attached to the Tory party.
