We would call our readers attention to the extensive sale of Building and Pasture Lots on the Mount Edward and St. Peter’s Roads, which takes place to-morrow at 11 o'clock.

On the following day—Thursday—a portion of Mr. J. C. Pope’s valuable herd of well-bred Cattle will be sold at the Kensington Brewery Stables (see description of stock in the advertisements and handbills. ) Such an opportunity as this, to secure fine, well-bred cattle seldom occurs, and we hope will be taken due advantage of by our en- terprising farmers and cattle dealers.

VavucHAn’s Burtat.—The body of Wmn. Vaughan did not remain long out of the qrave, after he was officially pronounced lifeless. Within half an hour after the ex- ecution the remains were taken in an ex- press wagon, in the charge of Constables McPherson and Hancock, to the Methodist Burying Ground. The only mourners were the deceased’s brother and nephew; and previous to the interment the coffin plate was given to the brother, who requested its possession. No ceremony or funeral service was observed in this last disposal of the ex- ecuted murderer. In one hour and a quar- ter Vaughan lived in the full enjoyment of health, was hanged and buried. Mrs. Vaughan was not present.—St. John Free- mon.

Ir is apparent that a reform is needed in connection with our Postal Service. At resent we have two trains to and from

uris and Georgetown, but only one mail. This inconvenience is very much felt, es- pecially by our business men. Take, for ex- ample: A letter is received in this city at 7 p. m. which requires immediate attention at either the Bank or some public office. As those institutions are closed and the mail train leaves in the morning before such places are opened, a whole day is lost. mail was despatched on the afternoon as well as the morning train this difficulty would be overcome, and letters which would be received at 11 a. m. could be answered by the train which leaves at 3.40 p. m. We call the attention of our energetic Post Office Inspector to this matter.

The Murderer’s Confession.

Below we give the confession prepared from statements made by Vaughan, the St. John murderer, read over to hin some days ago, and declared by him to be correct :—

Jait, Crry AND County or St. Joun, } 17th June, 1878. )

Wm. Vaughan, a prisoner in the Jail under

, sentence of death, is informed by the Sheriff

that there will be no commutation of his sen- tence, and that he must pay the last penalty of the law, and he then says he is desirous of making a statement of the facts connected with the crime; and in presence of Rev. Messrs. Parsons and Hartley and the Sheriff, states that on the morning of the 13th February last he left home between six and seven o'clock, wth no particular object in view, and after taking three glasses of liquor on his way through Portland, thought he would go and see Higgins to get some work, and went out the road in that direction. He does not recollect meeting many parties on the _ road. When he_ got to Crowley’s house, he went in and saw Mrs, Quinn standing up. He sat down by the stove and and she came and sat alongside of him. He had a lunch in his pocket and they went and sat down by a table. He thinks they sat together. He then got up and stag- gered toa chair near the front of the stove and she came ard sat alongside of him. He put his arm round her neck and evil thoughts came into his head, but none of killing her. She resisted his attempt. She did not hallo. She said ‘‘I know you; I will make this a dear job for you. I will make you dearly pay for this,’”—meaning his attempts on her. He got her on the floor, she holding him by the neck, and then the scratches on the body was made. He then raised a stick of firewood ly-

ing by the _ stove, and struck her a blow on the head, it might be twice or thrice. He thinks she then

became insensible. He did not know, but he must have used the axe, striking her twice or more times. She must have been dead then, and he stopped or staggered with one knee on the floor, and so his trowsers became clotted with blood. Her clothes were up when he struck her with the axe. He then revolted from the scene and left the house. = a most positively having any connection wl her. He netlaal the Saou on his knee going up Gilbert’s Lane,and washed it off with snow. He did the deed, and is willing to die for it. All his trouble has come upon him from the too free use of liquor, and he trusts his punish- ment may be a warning to all others to abstain from its use in any way. These statements are carefully read over to _— and the isoner says they are correct. a . (Signed), J. T. PARSONS. G. A. HARTLEY.

Ch’town, June 3, 1878—2aw

We very much regret to learn that the enterprising firm of Hyndman Bros, of this city, have found it necessary to call a meet- ing of their creditors. Mr. P. W. Hynd- man, the senior member of the firm, has been for the past twenty-five years one of our most energetic, hardworking and active business men; and Mr. F. W, Hyndman, after serving fourteen years in the British Navy, with credit to himself, accepted his retirement a few years since, and embarked the whole of the commutation money in the business, occupying the position of junior partner. Our sympathies are enlisted on behalf of these gentlemen, on account of their uniform steady attention to business, the activity and enterprise they have shown, and from the fact that their present em- barrassments—which we trust are only of a temporary character—have not arisen from any incautious private expenditure, but are attributable solely to a multiplicity of severe losses in the legitimate pursuit of their busi- ness, to the many failures among their debt- ors, to the depreciation in the value of ship- ping and real estate, and to the general monetary pressure in commercial circles. A loss of many thousand dollars was last year incurred by this firm, together with other losses, in the attempt to open a mar- ket in Great Britain for our Island pota- toes. When we consider the fact that two of our Banks owe their origin to the indom- itable perseverance of Mr. P. W. Hyndman, specially, and that the firm have interested themselves in the promotion of almost every enterprise which has been undertaken for years past, with a view to develop the re- sources of the Province, we express confi- dence that men of such energy and ability will meet with every consideration; and we do trust that all reasonable facilities will be afforded them to continue a business which has been of such general utility, and we hope with more favorable results to them- selves.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms.
