A MURDERER’S DOOM. CoRNWALL, Ont., Oct 31. | The execution of Clark Brown, convicted | of the murder of his father and sister at West Winchester, on the night of the 22nd of September last, took place this morning jateight o'clock, The early hour fixed by |the sheriff for carrying the law into effect deterred many from being present. As it
five persons witnessed the execution. The scaffold was a plain structure, erected in the rear of the jail. At ten minutes before eight the bells of St. John’s church began to toll, and the prisoner was interrupted in his devotions by the hangman, who was clothed in a tight fitting suit of black with a mask over his face. Rev. Dr. McNish, Rey. Mr. Binnie and Mr. F. A. Morrow had been cugaged with the prisoner for seme time in devotional exercises, singing and praying. At the appointed hour the pris- oner was pinioned and the solemn proces- sion started froin his cell to the gallows, led by the Sheriff, fellowed by the Reverend gentlemen, the prisoner, the hangman bringing up therear. The prisoner walked with a firm step. He said nothing on the gallows, his confession having been given, under seal to Rey. Dr. McNish. After being placed on the trap door, the black cap was ,drawn over his face, the noose slipped over his head, and during the de- livery of the Lord’s prayer the bolt was drawn.
Not a muscle movedand everything passed off without the slightest hitch. The pulse ceased to beat eight minutes after the bolt was drawn and the body pronounced dead by medical gentlemen present. It was short- ly afterwards cut down and deposited in a rough coffin. After the usual formalities it was interred in the jail yard, and thus end- ed the first execution during Sheriff Mc- Intyre’s tenure of office. The follewing is the confession which was read by Rev. Dr. MeNish after the execution :—
I. Clark Brown, who is soon to appear before God, my maker, make this last con- fession. I told the whole truth before ‘of the murder of my poor father and sister. I kept nothing back and I alone did the murder and no.one helped me to murder my father and sister. [am charged with poisoning my uncle (Warren Henderson) and poor Georgie Hillard. I positively deny that charge for I am _ innocent. I deny telling Theodore Sharp. that: [ intended killing my wife, and I hope in God’s mercy, she will never ,believe such athing of me. Itis my dying request that no suspicion should rest:on my mother or darling wife, for I and I alone am guilty and | am willing to suffer the punishment of death for my awful crime. When we all parted for the night on the 22nd Sept. Ihad no thought that the verses I wrote about my mother and wife should be in print. I heartily thank Rev. Dr. Mac- Nish and Mr. Binnie for the great kindness they have shown me. I thank all the offi- cials of the jail for their great kindness to me, especially Mrs. McMartin. I pray that God’s blessing may rest on herself and fam- ily. L hope God has forgiven me. I cling to tho firm belief that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin, and even I hope to be forgiven through the sacrifices of the Son of God.

We clip the following from the Vermont Un ion.
~
Vermont is one of the leading
“Tt is not desirable that a breeding flock should be kept mutton fat all the year, nor, indeed at any time. Geod, strong, store condition is all that is required. But they should never. be allowed to run down in flesh for want of food, as changes in the condition of the carcass readily and sen- sibly affect the quality of the fibre in the wool. Evenness, trueness and strength are impertant qualities in wool,-and these can only be secured by healthjand uniformlty of condition. A fat sheep grows coarse, strong wool ; and in cases where the change in condition is sudden and considerable, the difference in size will form a kind of shoulder or joint in the fibre at which point it will break in working. Hence a long wool, which is not also true and even sound, cannot be used as a combing wool ; it breaks, and is only fit for coarse fabrics hence also the mistake of undertaking the propagation of long-weoled sheep among us in the present state of our agriculture and before we have tame grasses of rye pasture and shelter for their protection from storms. Lambs should be weaned at four months and if possible removed for a few days to some point beyond the call of their dams. They should be allowed at once good pasture and shelter from storms. Their enclosure should contain a sufticier.t number of troughs for all to feed without crowding, and into these shou'ld bé put clean oats or bran, with salt, and on the ap- proach of cold weather early cut and sweet hay, millet, or bright sheaf oais should be fed each night in suitable racks, that they may learn to eat and become accustomed to dry food before winter. They should never be allowed to run down in flesh, but so fed as to be kept constantly growing through the fall and winter. Perhaps there is no pasturage better adapted to the growth of young lambs than that of a rye field or one that will more quickly fatten older sheep.”’
A Zollverein.
The idea of avast Zollverein between England and her colonies is mooted and strongly advocated by some of the English papers. lt is proposed that a union be formed, based upon a reciprocal free trade, or upon ene of small differential duties,
which would serve the purpose of turning
the tables against those countries which have all the benefits to be got from an open British market, and yet close their own markets against British goods, It is well and wise, perhaps, to call it a Zollverein, for in English ears the sound will be less objectionable than that of Protection— though the principle is the same. But it at least isa proef that general opinion is undergoing a change in the matter of Free Trade, when we find that reciprocity is being discussed and no very violent oppo- sition is offered to it.—Can. Spectator.

Whole Populations Turning Their Byes to America.
Tron, an English class paper, states that the whole mining population are turning their eyes to America and Australia. Mr. Bryson, President of the Northumberland Miners’ Association, urged all the unem- ployed laborers to give up the struggle at once and forever in England, and to emi- grate. Three hundred men of the Brad- ford Iron and Machine Works are on their way now to Philadelphia, where employe ment is promised them, A cutlery firm in Sheffield, with all its captal and full staff of workmen, is meving bodily to this country} Jron indulges in a woful lamentation over these signs of a general movement, stating that ‘‘it is the best and most trustworthy workmen who have hived off first.”
Mr. Gladstone will shortly raise the cry : ‘Save me from my friends.” Mr. Lam- bert, M. P., a Liberal, publicly ‘declared the other day that he had lost all condtid- ence in the ex-Premier. Having regard to the attitude taken up by him in foreign politics, especially his patronage of Russia, he expressed himself unable to support Mr. Gladstone without proving a traitor to his cqguntry, and believed: no _ greater misfortune could eccur to England than the return of the right hon. gertiemen to power. Sir Thomas Gladstone, the elder brother of the member for Greenwich, said a few days ago that if the Liberals got into power, which God forbid we should have brought before us all sorts ot will specula- lative proposals which the country got heartily sick of it before it turned out the late Goveanment.” The disorganization of the English Liberal Party appears to in- crease as the goneral elections approach.
We have already referred to the largo in- crease in the number of vessels which have this year arrived at Montreal from the West Indies, and from the Herald of that city we learn that ‘‘the same favourable result of the sugar duties is essen in the sta- tistics of the port of Halifax. From the 15th March to — October, —_ a were 22 cargoes of sugar imported. . ing the present year from the 16th March; when the tariff came into operation, to the 20th October there were 983 cargoes in all imported, This shows an increase of 76 cargoes, due to the operation of the N. P.”
