Judicial.
Ir is rumored that Mr. Justice Ritchie, one of the pusine judges of the Supreme Court of Canada, is to be elevated to the high position of Chief Justice. If the rumor be true, it is another proof that in filling oftices of importance and responsi- bility the Liberal-Conservatives act——in pleasing contrast to the Grits—upon the principle of ‘‘the country first and the party afterwards.” Mr. Justice Ritchie has not been in sympathy with the Liberal- Conservative party. But his great judicia ability is acknowledged by all ; and he is about to receive at the hands of the Min- ister of Justice the highest office in the gift of a Liberal-Cunservative Rather than appoint Liberal-Consei vatives the late government elevated tu the bench: such men as Mr. James and Mr. Weather- bie. But the Liberal-Conservative Gov- ernment looks out for the ‘‘bhest men ;” and for offices of high importance and wher those capable of filling them are necessarily few, the ‘“‘best men” are selected without regard to their political principles. It is te be regretted that Mr. McKenzie did not,
in alike liberal and proper spirit.
Alberton.
EXPORTS FROM TCASCUMPEC HARBOR.
We publish the exports of Alberton. which is one of the most thriving busines: places in Prince County. The exhibit is highly creditable to the farmers of the West. Mussle mud and good new land have helped to swell the shipment, of which the quan. tity ex railway is large, and proves tha‘ Capt. R. A. Cox, wharfinger at the shore warehonse, must have had not a little work to do. We clip the following list from the

Besides the above, there were 209 tons sipped from Alberton by rail, marked ‘‘mer- cjandise, not enumerated above.” We have no possible date by which to arrive at the value of this item, but certainly it wou'd amount to something considerable, and would at least raise the total exports to $135,000.
Hunter's Grave.

Government.
Georcs MeNvett, who in 1875 was sen-| tenced to death for the murder ef a sailor named Yealch on board the ship King Coel- | vic, was released from the St. John Pni- t>itiary on Saturday last The Ki.» / riz, it may be remembered, was proce from St. John, and when outside of | ar- tr dye Island her crew, many of whom were drank, commenced fighting. The upshot of the affair was that Yealch was found murdered in his berth with a sheath knife stuck in his face and the vessel had to put back. Many of the sailors were so drunk that they could throw no light on how the man came to be murdered, but the testi- mony of one or two seemed to fix the crime on McNutt, who, after one trial on which the jury disagreed, was convicted of the mur ler and se itencedto death. A petition Was got up in the condemned man’s favor soon after his sentence, and the sentence was commuted te imprisonment for life. McNutt denied his guilt steadily and per- sistently from the first.

Dowd Executed.
MRS. WARD'S SENTENCE COMMUTED. Sr. AnpREw’s, Jan 15.
Mrs. Ward has been aware, since the 6th inst., that her sentence would be commuted to imprisonment, but she did not know for what time. The Sheriff did not feel at liberty to publicly announce the fact before Saturday last. She received the intelli- gence with thankfulness and conducted her- self in a proper and becoming manner.
Sheriff Paul and Rev*~ Mr. Doyle told Dowd, on Saturday, that no reprieve would be vranted him. He received the intelli- gence calmly and said that he was re- signed to his fate.
At an interview on Saturday evening, Dowd said that Mrs. Ward was innocent of any knowledge of the death of Ward—‘‘as innucent as you, gentlemen, sitting before me. Ihave no other confession to make than the ome already made, and I have given my clergy liberty to publish any con- -ession made to them by me. Gentlemen, my only wish is, that the sympathy of the Governor General may be elicited to pardon Mrs. Ward. I never had any improper in- timacy with her. I am prepared to meet my God,”
Dowd’s lips quivered several times during the interview, and he, by a strong effort, repressed his tears.
He was executed yesterday morning in the jail yard. He madea speech from the scaf- cold, and said that Mrs. Ward had nothing to do with the murder. After the execution the body was handed over to the officers of the Uatholie Church, by whom a committee was uppointed to take charge, Tue corpse was coffined and taken to the Church. At 10 o'clock a. m., 2 requiem high mass was sung, ind at the conclusion of the service the funer- il cortege proceeded to the cemetery, where che remains were interred.
Wheat in Manitoba.
Says the Scottish American : -‘‘ The evi- dence accumulates every year that Manitoba will ultimately become one of the first wheat growing countries on this continent. [he crops grown in the Red River Valley last year amount to about three million mushels, while the land broken and ready ‘or crops next spring is over three hundred housand acres, and should produce upwards uf five million bushels of wheat. There are some remarkaby large and flourishiug farms nthe province. At one of these, 3,500 wres in extent, 42,C0) bushels of wheat and ),000 bushels of other cereals were harvest- ed last season, the machinery used compris- ing forty ploughs, siateen seeders, forty harrows, sixteen harvesters, three steam cthreshers, and three pertable engines. Another farm contains 6,000 acres, of which 5,600 acres are ready to be sown with wheat next spring. The largest farm in the valley contains 39,000, having a frontage of four miles on Red River. Over 4,000 acres were in crop last year, and produced 100.- 000 bushels of cereals, two thousand bushels vf potatoes and twelve hundred tons of hay.
Curnzse have already settled in consid- erable numbers in British Columbia, New Zealand, New South Wales, Australia, the Sandwich Islands and United States. In all these countries their advent is resisted by the whites; nevertheless, as they come without wives or families, and live on the cheapest food, they are enabled to work at lower prices than the native workmen, and therefore obtain employment. In New Zealand they have been set to work upon the railroads, but have been driven away by the white labourers. In New South Wales the cabinet making trade has passed entirely into their hands, and they are taken the place vf white coks and Jser- vants in the hotels. In British Columbia the agitation against their employment has been partially successful.

Despatcues from Halifax state that the fortune cuming to the Hyde heirs is $12,- 000,000. The money is in the Bank of England and there are several claimants in Halifax. Mr. Hyde, through whom the money comes, formerly resided at Annapo- lis, N. S., and was in the service of the British Government. He had one dangh- ter, born in Nova Scotia and the money was left to her. Until recently there was no evidence that the Nova Scotia Hydes were the descendants of him who held the Imperial Commission. A few days ago an old trunk was sold at auctiou for 25 cents. and on its being broken up, the commission of Mr. Hyde was found. The English agents of the Nova Scotia claimants re- port favorably on the case.
A Paris correspondent of the N. Y. “Tribune” detects many points of resem. bane between the lat: Princess A’'ee and Lady Jane Grey, and says that wien the Princess wanted to digest an abstruse work she sat down to the piano or organ and let
her fingers wander over the key-board. She |
had the sensibilities of a musician.a skilled handand a cultivated ear.
while she played, teok order, shape and)

Caueurra, Jan. 18.—General Browne and General Maude’s divisions are echelonnel tn iiutually supporting a detachment, extend- ing from Jellalbad to Nowshera. This ex- tension and distribution of forces, besides affording reyuisite protection to the entire line of read, has the advantage of diminish- ing, as far as possible, the strain upon the Commissariat Department.
An imposing Durbar was held at Jellala- bad, January first, byGeneral Browne. The most influential men of the neighborhood
the Vicerey’s proclamation. He comment ed on facts and events as manifested; the strength of the British Government, and the failure of the Ameer’s resistance, and repeated the assurance that the British Government have no quarrel with the people of Afghanistan. Principal Khan replied (in language which may be taken for what it is worth), expressing his con teniment with the change of authority, and freely affirms his service.

Lonpon, Jan. 13.— A Berlin despatch says it is reported that Germany complained at Vienna in regard to the tone of comments in the Austrian press or. the Reichstag dis- cipline bill.
Paris, Jan. 13.—-M. Leon Say, Minister of Finance, will announce, at tae opening of Chambers, that they are not at present in a position to convert five per cent. rentes.
Although the Republicans on Saturday expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the Ministerial programme, the motion adopted by the Republican Union to refer it tothe Bureau of the Chamber did not formally censure it. It seems certain that the Cabinet will obtain a majority in the Chamber. It is rumored that President MacMahon will declare his intention of resigning if Dufaure, President of the Council resigns.

North River Sensation.
To the Editor of the Ecaminer.
Str—In yours of the 13ti inst. there ap- pears a letter over the signature of J. +ellar, in which he calls mea ‘‘wnis-hievous looker on” trying to kindle another fire between him and the North River Baptists. I would just say to Mr. Sellar tu keep his temper an! not get in apassion. I can assure you that [ thought of doing nothing of the kind. I saw Mr. Sellar’s evidence as given in the Dail EXAMINER, which reads as follows.—‘’The first depredation was that a dog of miue was roasted in the Baptist church. ‘The next was my plow, etc.” Here it is put down the ‘Baptist church” without any qualification. )No man reading it could understand it any other way but the way thatI did. And how /came tie Magi trate to take the sane v ew as ldd? Diui he want to kindle a fire as well as my-elf? He must be getting mischievous t»:, when he says, in your issue of Jan. 2, t' at ‘che burning of the dogs were bratiu and ‘acbvrous acts, anl when comm tt-d at a ch irch where divine service wis held, as the latter was, it redJected listie credit on the com- munity who let the perrct-ators go wa- punished.” Here is where | received my in- formation, anil if { am wrong it is the reporter's fault. I will leave the reporter and | Mr. Sellar to settle the case. But he charges ‘meas baing a mischievous looker ou. I cin ‘truly say that my object was to correct a | wrong impression which had got afloat and which Icould not, under any cousideration, allow to go uncorrected.
And now, in closing, I would request Mr. Sellar to wipe his own eye-glasses very cle sn, an look very carefully into his own head and see if there ain’t any more mischievous per- sons thanlam. Yours, etc.,
