Palmer’s to-mor

Supreme Court.—In the case of the Queen at the prosecution of Elen McGee rs. Thomas Cameron for assault with intent to rape, the jary, yesterday, returned a verdict of ‘ not guilty.” ‘The case of Patrick Cox rs. Pierce Ganl, an action to recover charges for sur- veying, is now before the Court. .

* Tue Mail says that while false accusatio.s are being daily made by the Referm press against the Dominion Government for dis- charging officials for political reasons, the On- tario Grit Governmeht is commencing a series of changes of officials, the sole object being to provide positions for clamorous supporters. The Reform organs should cease to make this charge against the Conservative Administra- tion, as their own friends are the chief offend- ers. ‘‘We know officials who personally in- sulted Sir John McDonald the last time he was in the city,” says the Kingston News, ‘‘yet not one of those blatant Grits has been inter- ferred with in any way.”

Sions or Tae Tiues.—On to-day, the 3rd inst., a farm of one hundred acres of good dry land was soli at Sheriff's sale, at the Court House, for the small sum of $40. This farm is in Lot U7,Jueen’s County, and only five miles from Crapand. At the same time and place, another farm of one hundred acres was sold for $59. ‘This farm lies in the vicinity of Tryon Road.— Such sales as the above should be sufficieat to prevent mortgagees and others from forcing larids into the market during such depressed times. x

ad sme Drowning Accident.

Ason of Mr. James Brown, C. E., was drowned at North River yesterday evening. Mr. Brown has been engaged for the past few days répairing the North River Bridge. His son accompanie! him to the work yesterday, and, in the evening, asked leave-to go tishing around the shore. Permission was granted, but from that tine nothing was heard of the boy. His hat was found floating in the river at the north side of the bridge. An immedi- ate but unsuccessful search was made for his body. In the evening all hopes of his re- covery were despaired of. The river was dragged to-day, but the body was not recov- ered. The drowned boy was abont fourteen years of age.

— es Crowded Gaols in Russia.

A statement has just been published at St. Petersburg shewing something of the present overcrowded condition of the Rus- sian gaols. Jt appears that besides the establishment in connection with the mines in Siberia, there are altogether eleven con- vict prisons in the empire. That at Irkutusk, which according to the regula- tions should only contain 1,500, 1s now eccupied by 2,000. Two prisons the Charkoff Government constructed, ene for 450 and the others for 475 prisoners, con- iain respectively 600 and 509 unfortunate convicts. In spite of this overcrowding it is stated that 500 miserable beings are lying in the ordinary towi gaols awaiting vacancies in the central establishments.
