A correspondent writes :—Mr. Thomas Huestis, Summerside, some time since Light House Keeper at Sea Cow Head, has, since the year 1869, made the follow- ing inventions, and, strange to say, he has never been taken by the hand or effectually noticed by either our Local or Dominion Governments. It is true that once, bya

Wuart a CANADIAN THINKS OF Cativornia.— The following is an extract from a letter written by Mr. James Fahey, | who recently went to California for | the benefit of his health .—‘ I would warn | all Canadian typos, and all other mechanics, to stay away from this coast. at least for) the present. In every department the | ranks of labor are over-crowded, but in few is the crush so great as in the news- paper business. There have been several | suspensions and consolidations during the iast few months, and the consequence is a | surplus of editors, reporters and printers, | said surplus being steadily swollen by | fresh arrivals from the host of deluded professors of the art preservative. (Outside | of dan Francisco there is no press on this coast worth speaking of.

Terrinte Accipent.—Our contemporary | the Argus reports the death of a little girl | about four years of age—daughter of Mr. James Weatherbie, of Vernon River —which occurred on the afternoon of Saturday, 29th ult., under most distressing circum- stances. Mr. Weatherbie was engaged, at the time the tragic occurrence happened, near his residence cutting a field of grain with a reaping machine, and his little daughter, contrary to his express coms mands, persisted in being in the field with him. Ue sent her into the house three times, but she returned to the fatal field a fourth and last time to be burne back ina few minutes mangled and helple-s in the arms of her father, with the warm blood fast flowing from the fount of life. Mr. Weatherbie, aware of the danger of allows ing the little girl to remain near him while at work, at last pretended to be angry with, her, threatening to flog her with a bunch of oats if he found her in the field when he came round again. I[e went on his round, and, upon coming back to the place near which he left his child, not seeing her, he concluded that she had returned to the house. This, unfortunately, she did not do, but hid herself in the tall grain crouching close to the ground in a furrow. Just as the horses passed her by, up she jumped to her feet, and, utterly uncon= scious ot being in the very jaws of death, laughed her last merry laugh in her father’s

face. But, alas! in a moment more, or

befora there was time to draw 4 rein, or utter the word ‘ whoa,’ she was weltering in her blood upon the platform of the machine. The feeling of the horror stricken parent, upon realizing the heart-rending

*pectacle that presented itself to his bes

wildered gaze, can be better imagined than

described. One of her legs was complete- ly severed at the ankle, and the other almost entirely cut off above the knee.

Medical aid was not within easy reach.

She lived for some time—until her little

body was drained of the life-giving fluid—

drank some water, and talked some.

THE BEAR RIVER MURDER.

Robbins was found on the 30th ult., just before daylight. He was captured by three men named Samuel Leigler, Alfred Marsh« all, and Alonzo Harris. These men saw his fire between twelve and one o'clock, and crawled up to it, and waited within a short distance watching until day-light ; he moved and then they fired at him twice ; he was not hit, but in order to prevent them from fir ing again he laid still and groaned. They Le offer- ed no resistance, and was disarmed, and marched into town. A knife and a small supply of ammunition were found on him, He was marched into the village amidst tremendous cheering, and attended by a large crowd, which increased all the time until their arrival at the house of Mr. John V. Purds, J. P. The crowd were very ex- ciged, and it was with difficulty the captors could be induced to deliver him up to the authorities, and restrained from inflicting indignities on him of every possible de» scription.

Before the Magistrate the murderer said : «¢] have no statement to make, but I have this to say, that I could tell the truth about it; but those boys have been put up to say, ing what they did. Iam sorry, as my boys had been taught the nature of an oath, and have been persuaded otherwise. I admit the remainder of the evidence is correct. I have chosen death rather than life for some time ; since I have suffered so long, [ have felt sure that God would damn her soul in hell. I have no accomplice in any way; no one has known my whereabouts or my in- tention, Ervin has not harbored me. Have not seen Walter Ervin for over a month, when I saw him close to his own house, and asked him about some blueberries or some- thing of that sort, but have not seen him to this day. ‘There can be no positive evi- dence against Ervin. J did not meet Ervin the day the baris were burnt.

I wished to see Froude, who I heard was alarmed and he had no occasion to be. The next night 1 stopped on John ©O’Brien’s land, to the southward of the house.

It may possibly be obs jected that you have not had an equivalent for this expenditure, but I believe your own experience will tell you that very few masters are salisfied with the * equivalent ”’ they receive for the wages they pay, and there is hardly a doubt that you will admit that the public is a hard task-master. Your reference to the estimated revenue for {875 is sufficiently correct (in round nums bers), but for 1874 perhaps it will be as well | to give you the actual figures, The levied assessment was Collected to Dee. 31, 1874 $11,482 " ** June 1,1875,of bal, 1,614 Uncollected of 1874 551

I claim the right to take exception to two other statements in your article. The oneis ‘our city business has been in every departs ment most disgracefully mismanaged.” For refutation I can say that, in so far as I know, | this statement is far from being correct, a fact which I think you will readily admit if | you examine last year’s published accounts } a little more critically. Excepting the ex- | penditure on public works, Fireand Police departments, it must strike you that the other items of expenditure are very small indeed, and perhaps you will further admit, economical, considering the revenue. The secend statement I beg to direct your attention to, is where you say that “any Corporation that was not su.k in the depths ofindolent uselessness would not allow one half of its assessments to be unpaid.” This very closely applies to myself as Collector, but as 1 am not disposed to be too precise in the matter at present, and hoping the ex- planation I have given above will be satisfac- tory, | will for the present abstain trom further complaint.

When the sailors found that the captain and mate had gone ashore they broke into the cabin, look what eat- ables they could lay their hands on, and left the vessel in their boat. It is said that the sailors were all more or less intoxicated when the alfray occurred. The cook and pilot were on board at the time but they took no part in the mutiny.—Patriol.

WONDER

OF THE

AGE Physicians Cornered.

ROBABLY there are few circumstances under which a physician labors with more real sympathy for his patient than when called upon to administer relief to an acute sufferer with Chronic Rheumatism.

Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and no substantial relief can be obtained without clean- ing the blood trom the fibrim substances which obstruct the circulation, causing inflammation and pain.

The greatest success of the DIAMOND RHEU- MATIC CURE in curing this disease is owing to its power of converting the biood from its dis- eased condition to a healthy circulation. Italso regulates the bowels, which is very essential in this complaint, and no one will read the follow- ing statement, from a well-known Dartmouth gentleman, with more interest and pleasure than those physicians who have a real desire to benefit their suffering patients :

Darrmoutn, Sept. 14, 1874,

Forsytu & Co.,

Gentlemen :—For the two past years I have been severely troubled with Rheumatism, I have suffered the most acute pain, and at times I have been rendered perfectly helpless—being unable to walk, sleep or even sit up. I have tried many »hysicians and used numerous patent medicines, but I still continued to grow worse. It is now about four days since I commenced taking the DIAMOND RHEUMATIC CURE, and the pain has all left me, and the use of my limbs is rapid- ly returning. I bless the day that the Diamond Rheumatic Cure was called to my attertion. Gratefully yours,
