Ireland’s Famine—1880.

CHANDLER.

BY A. He

A cry is haard across the wintry sea, : From Arra’s hills, beside the Shannon fair: ‘* Terne”’ strikes the lyre in despair,

Oh ! listen to her wailot agony, _

While starving children in great misery, Gauut !"amine’s pangs : Haste! ‘Canada

ud share With blest Columbia kindly sympathy

Le! millions then shall heed the loud lament, | With messages, the lightning swift employ, |

Of love aud pity —waft a generous store

Uf largess from the whele wide Continent — Make “ Erin’s harp ” re throb with tender-

est joy,

So often thrilled by Carelan and Moore, |

A Fearful Crime.

A CONFESSION OF THE MURDER

The fellowing is the confession of Cleophas Lachance, the murder of Odilite Desilet, who was found dead in a well in Arthabaskaville, Quebec, a few davs ago:—

Os Monday, the 29th of Mareh last, I wasin our house, and from the garret window I saw Oudilite Desilet coming teward our house; I wens out and down on the highway to meet her; opposite to the well [ asked her to kiss me; she said she weuld not; she pushed me away and I fell; I got upvexed; I jumped at herand struck ber with my fist, then threw her on the ground and pulled out my knife from my pocket (the same that Mr. Bissonnette showed me;) she pulled it out of my hand; | waa oo her holding her down with my koees and legs, and holding her by the neck, she said: ‘My God, he ts pull- ing ont his knife;’ that was before she pulled it out of my hand; f then pulled it ont of her hand by the blade; it was the pulling backwards and forwards that cut my hands; | then stabbed her in the throat with the large blade, the one that has the point broken; that ts the one remarked at the inquest by the Coroner and the District Magistrate ; she then tried to get up; 1 pushed her back und went for the piece of wood producet at the court, to which there is a piece ef hinge attached ; she wasin the middle of the road when the first part happened; [ then dragged her to- ward the well, se thatshe would not get away, and to get the piece of wool ; 1t wus a purt of the cover; I siezed it and pulled it apart; as it was nailed, it was already partly split, and divided easily with my hands; she was on the ground on her right side, net saying anything, with her feet towards the road, and her head towards the well; the first blow I gave her was on the left temple, oear the eye; she quivered and groaned; | thought one might have heard her in the opposite house, (Babineau’s house, I think); I held the stick with my both hands; [ then struck her on the left side of the head; I must have cut her, for 1 struck very hard; I struck her agaio, but before it hit her she had put up her hand; it seemed to me she seized hold of her hair; after that she did not move, and did not appear to breathe ; I then lifted her, and put her head first into the well and pushed her down out of sight; after | had pushed her dewn, she straightened her legs out once, and I pushed her back again. I| took her hat and shawl} which were lying on the road, and put them in the well over her, and covered her with some pieces of board, which were iying about, I then took three rails from off the fence and placed them standing up on the body; I then left and went to- wards home, about half an acre a couple of times,and came back running to see if she was alive; I looked, and she was not stirring; I then went by the road and bythe barns down tothe bush about eight acres below the road to wash my hands. It was only after all was finished that I perceived my hands were cut, and then | rubbed the blood on my! sleeves ; there wore some drops of the deceased's bloed on my frock; when [ perceived the cuta oo my hands were, bleeding, I pat my hands ia my pock | ets, an left forthe bush (as I said bee! fore), and washed my hande ia a small | trough ; after that I came back te the) road and went towards my brother's | (Jos. Lachance) barn that is on the other | side of oar house from the well; there [| remained to compose myself, as [ was excited and hardly kuew what I was doing, and I had hardly entered when [ saw thecure goby; lam satisfied, as 1 want to declare all ; [have been for some’ time wishing to declare it, but could not; | Tamyiad and contest now thatI have © ufessed it; andalso I wish to prevent that thereshould be any doubt left on) any innoe:nt person, and | declare that! no person has made any threats or offers | of any kind to induce me to confese; I)

do so of my own free wil! and of my own. desire. : |

The murderer is young ma, and, had been suspected of the murder. This sort of crime is becoming tearfuly fres quent in the Upper Provinces. |

There are three compact parties in [re- jJand—Conservatives, Parnellites and Pure Liberals, and the Moderate Home Rulers or Intermediate Party, who will be allies sumetimes of one party and sometimes of another; but it is confidently expected they will most frequently go on division lobby with the Liberal Government. There are also a few free lances such as Patrick P. Smith, elected for Tipperary, who is an uncompromising Repealer. Jehn Daly, of Cork city, whose views don’t quite agree with these of Parnell, though he has been returned with him; and Phillip Cotton, just elected for Louth, who will fight all reund in their turn.

The immense sale and great popularity of | Green’s August Flower in all towns and vil- | lages in the civilized world has caused many imitators to adopt similar names, expecting to | reap a harvest for themselves at the expense of the afflicted. This medicine was introduc- ed in 1863, and for the cure of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, with their effects, such as Sour Stomach, Sickheadache, Indigestion, Palpitation of the Heart, vertigo, ete., ete., it never has failed to our knowledge.
