SUICIDE OF A WOODSTOCK GIRL|SENATOR simpson
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT; — CROOKED
BINTED AT,
On the 15th inst., it will be remembered & young lady named Josie Schofield, be- longing to Woodstock. Unt., committed suicide at Niagara falls, the direct cause of her rash act being enve:oped ip mystery. “An old G. T. R. man,” a telegraph Operator in New York, throws some light on the matter, however, in a communica. tion to the Montreal Gazette, says :—
_ ‘Some three or four months since a | Canadian lady, Miss Josie Schofield, for- | merly of the Dominion Telegraph ‘Com« pany’s office, Toronto, Out., sought and obtained a position as telegraph operator in the Western Union Telegraph Com pady’s main offica, at 197 Broadway, in this city (New York:. The lady was talented,
refined and accomplished. For two or three weeks prior to the 15th of the pre- sent month, it was noticed that she re- ceived a great number of notes each day,
which were left at the door of the operat-
ing room. The missives seemed to dis-
tress her greatly, and -her nervousness at- tracted general attention. During the day she wore her hat, and a .heavy crape veil (she was dressed in deep mourning) while on duty in the office. On the 15th of October a lady committed suicide in Nias gara Falls ; it was Miss Josie Schofield. Now comes the curious part of the busi- ness, Although the lady was employed in New York, in. one of the most public offices of tue city, with newspaper report- ers in it, who are fully cognizant of all the
facts, nota word has appeared in a city paper, directly, as to who the suicide at Niagara Falls was, and where she was last employed. There isa strong impression among the operators here that some c:ooked work drove this young Canadian girl to suicide, and as an ‘ influential’ name might be mentioned in connection With it, the matter is hushed up.”

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN SHEFFORD, ONTARIO,
A YOUNG GIKL'S CRIME, AND HER MOTHER'S sv 1- CIDE 1N CONSEQUENCE,
The following facts regarding some shocking events in the eounty of Shetford, in tbe Eastern Townships, are given :—A young woman named Mary McAdam, daughter of a local 4 est Shef~ ford, aged about 22 years, was seduced by a young man named Jobn Harris. [n ors det to avoid the disgrace of exposure, the unfortunate young gir! went to Waterloo to have an abortion performed, and, it is alleged, she stopded tor some little time at the house of a medical man in that village. Oue day last week she etarted from the latter place from South Stukley, but, be- fore leaving, itis alleged bad a powerful dose admidistered to her. Itis supposed the drug affected her too speedily, for she was unable to proceed furth r than St. Ann's, nine miles from Waterloo. She put up at a public house, and, during the nigh}, while entirely aione, gave birth to a child, which was discovered dead in her satchel. Next morninga coroner’s inquest was held, and a verdict of infanticide ren- dered, andthe unfortnnate girl was com. mitted to Sweetsburg jail for trial. Mean time Mrs. McAdams, mother of Mary, was so overwhelmed with grief whea these painful revelations came to light that she | was taken seriously ill, and on Saturday last, in a moment of desperation, poisoned herself with a Jotion which it is supposed ber daughter had been using to produce an abortion, and died within an hour after taking the poison. Another inquest was ‘held and a verdict of death by her own _hands was rendered.

Senator Simpson, President of the On. tario Bank, has won a verdict against Wilkinson of the Durham News in @ cri. minal libel suit at Cobourg. The gist of the libel suit was that the Senator had used the money of his bank to bribe mem- bers of the House of Commons to defeat Sir John A. Macdonald's Government in 1873. The accused tried to justify by put-~ ting Col. Cubitt, for ten years Mayor of Bowmanville, in the witness box, who swore that on a certain Saturday evening in 1874, the Senator in his own house, in presence of a Mr. Thompson, had told him that a great deal of trouble had beed ex. perienced in getting members over, that considerable sums of money had been paid to accomplish thay task, that the last man got had a $17,000 mortgage on his pro, perty, which the witness understood the Senator to say, “ we”’—that is the bank ‘‘had to pay.” and that the Senator said. the Maritime members were a ‘‘d —d set of soundrels or a set of d—<d scounde rels."’ The prosecution rebutted this eVic dence by the testimony of Mr. Thompson, aud by that of Senator Simpson, who both denied on oath that any such statements hid beén made in the conversation re, f-rred to abou buying up any-of Sir John’s supporters, or about the paying off any *17,000 mortgage. Clearly, the justifica. tion was not made out, but as it seemed that Wilkinson thought he had solid ground for his charge, the Jury recom, mended him to mercy.
But Senator Simpson acknowledged that he probably branded the Maritime members as ‘*a d ——d set of scoundrels.” but why or wherefore or whom particulars 1/, he bad in view, he did not say. A lits tle light on this subject would be interest« ing. It strikes us that the Maritime members, generally, will bear comparison with the Outario members. We should in- fer that the Senator is rather unguarded in speech sometimes.

The San Francisco ‘ Mai(’’ says: “ At a meeting of the California Academy of ~ciences last evening, Dr. Behr called at- tention to a eucalyptus tree standing in the grounds of the o'd German Hospital on Brannan street. The tree has passed through the fire of August, 1876, and ex- hibited the peculiarity of resisting the ac« tion of the flames—a property well under- stood in Australia. Dr. Ketlog stated that eucalyptus shingles were in common use in Australia, on account of their being fires proof, [twas impossible to fire a root made of this material. There were some 132 species of eucalypti, but all seemed to possess this non-combustible property to some extent, Dr. Gibbon said that the planting of trees in the public streets would be an important means of checking % conflagration, and as the eucalyptus -eemed to be peculiarly valuable for that purpose and for building, the attention of the public and lumber-growers should be called to it.”y
The above hints may be of some benetit to the Maritime Province people, who are
now having experience of combustible wood,

There was a sad scene at the Tombg Police Court, New York, on the 23rd ult.. when two boys of 16 were arraigned for burglary committed on Sunday night, the 2Iist. A padlock had been wrenched from the rear door of the store, which opened on the yard fully in sight of a dozen of windows. The safe in the store had been tampered with, and altogether the job looked like the work of daring, uousebreakers. Ward Detectives Handy and Fogarty were put on the case and succeeded in fastening the crime upon the two prisoners, John Wygand and James Reilly. When arraigned the prisoners pleaded guilty. The plea was being en~ tered when an elder brother of Reilly, a respectable looking man. arrived in Court, crying bitterly. He pressed forward to the Justice and begged to speak to him. The request was granted, and he stepped up to the bench, and in the paesence of his disgraced brother told that when the news of the arrest of James was made known to his mother she fell dead "cen the instant. The Court and al! present, but Reilly, the prisoner, were deeply mceved at this narration. He did not even witece, The Court hesitated a moment, but as the prisoners pleaded guilty there was no other course than to hold them, and they were held in $500 to answer. The only pro. ceeds of the burglary were six cigars. The brother of Reilly pleaded piteously with the Justice for his erring brother, ssying that he had been led away by Wygana, who was the more cupnicg of the two. Finally he went out and brought in pis father,a man about 5) years old, and in Appearance a respectable man. Ihe ojd man with tears in his eyes told the Court how a messenger had come to him with the news of his boy’s arrest. ‘] told my
