A Cowardly Murder. MR. WILLIAM DAVID MONTEITH BRUTALLY MURDERED

Aierrible murder occurred at the farm of Mr. Andrew Monteith, Lower Lachine road, about ten miles from Montreal, on Monday evening last. It appears that late in the afternoon. Mr. Monteith and his three sons, John Andrew Alexander, aged 21 years, Wm. David, the decease!, and Richard ‘Thomas, aged 17 years, were working in ove of the fields of the farm, harvest ing grain, when about 4 o’clock they noticed four men crossing the fields towards the farm of Mr. Monteith’s brother-in-law, which is the adjoiaing property. As during the whole sum- mer the Monteiths had been much annoyed with tramps commiiting depre- dations on the premises, the Monteith boys said they would drive the intruders off the property, and for this purpese the father and his sons started towards the men. The deceased struck the fork with which he was working into the ground, and was the first to start. At the same time he shouted to the men to leave. They paid no attention, but when he reached them they said they would go if he would permit them to cross the bridge. The bridge referred to was one of three across the city acqueduet, which here runs through the farm. The young man consented, and was walking with them towards the bridge, when one of the men, who carried a double barrellea shotguo, suddenly caught it by the muzzle and struck the young mao aterrible blow on the head with the butt, felling him to the ground, and striking him another blow when he was down, When the young man fell, Richard Monteith was within fifteen yards of his brother. Heat once ad- vanced on the men and tried to take the gun from them. Inothis he was not successful and the man holding the gun struck him a blow acrossthe small of the back which felled him to the earth. With such force was this blow given that the stock of the gun was broken off. The other soo, John, then came up, but the man pointed the gun at him and threatened to shoot. Nothing daunted with his threat the young man closed the possessor of the gun and wrench- ed it from him. By this time they had reached the fence, three ot the men were making off, while Joho Monteith was bravely grappling with his brothers murderer, but the latter called to one of his companions to bring the knife, when one of the retreating ruffians re- turned with a murderous knife about twelve inches long, and raised it to strike his companion’s capturer, who, in order to save his own life, lot go his hold when the four made good their

escape. til

A TERRIBLE STORY FROM TEXAS—SEVEN

MURDERS COMMITTED BY ONE MAN IN

A SINGLE Pay.

A gentleman from Jobnson City, Blanco county, Texas, gives the details of a terrible tragedy which occurred at that place Tuesday the 18th inst. Al Lockie, an old citizen, left home intend- ing, as he said,to goto John Green’s place. Green and his family were away. He entered the house aad took Grreen’s Winchester and returned to the residence of his brother, Berry Lockie, where he shot and killed Berry and his (Berry’s) wife, A neighbor named Joho Nicholson rode up just then and

wasforced to go with him to Mr. Stokes. He then shot and killed Mr. Stokes. There Nicholson was lust sight

of. His horse was tied there when foudtl and it is supposed he was also killed. From there Lockie went to his own house and shot and cut the throat of Mrs. Henry Lockie, of Lano county, the wife of his stepson, who was on a visit to him. He also shot and killed Mrs. Stokes, the wife of the Stokes he had killed just previous to the killing of Mrs. Henry Lockie. He then killed his dauzhter Miss Lockie and attempted to kill his wife, but his cartridges being exhausted he could not fire anotuer shot, and she escaped. Having failed to catch and kill his wife, he cut his own throat, mounted his horse and started in the direction of Johnson City. After riding a few yards he met Thomas Brunswick, whom he attacked and into whom he plunged a knife, inflicting fatal wounds. The murderer then rode toward Johnson City, but was arrested within two miles ofit. He was still alive at 3 o’clock this morning. With the exception perhaps ofthe murder and cremation of the Lynch family, near Hampstead, some years ago, this is the most horrible set of crimes ever commited in this state. By it about 20 children are left orphans.

A Queer Case.

The case of the young Swede in the Chicago Postoffice who was recently adjudged insane furnishes an interesting iilustration of the strength and sym- pathy and its power to unseat reason. For the past two years the boy has been a faithful employee of the office, and was seeminly sound in all his faculties, Recently, however, he received a letter from the fatherland stating that his brother was insane, and in two days thereafter he was accounted hopelessly insane, and was sent to the asylum.

President Arthur is said to have saved $75,000 out of his salary while in office notwithstanding his hospitality and liberality as a host and citizen.

New and Uriginal Departure in Coal Cocking Stoves COMBINING

DURABILITY, HEAT AND ECONOMY.

a

This Cut represents my Patent Fire King Cooking Stove, with the oven, end and hning partially drawn out, as it appears while being cleaned, or when a new lining is being replaced.

HE above Stove I invented and patented in 1876, and at the present time HUN-

. DREDS ARE IN USE, giving perfect satisfaction. A large number have been in contant use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have been required. This valuable experience should be sufficient evidence of their durability, which is accounted for in the following :—It has, instead of a Lined Fire Box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense contected with all Square Cooking Stoves of being compelled to renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year, The heat being radiated from the Cylin- ders to the floor, where most needed, overcomes a_ serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking S‘oves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equal sati«taction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel. I have also attached the PATENT TELESCOPIC OVEN to all wy Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c.,, causing the thousands using them to exclaim—My Stoves are worth TEN DOLLARS MORE than the same kind made by other foundries. The trade and retail purchasers will please bear in mind the fact that although a great advantage is claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other fc undry can supply. En- quire for Fawcett’s Patent Telescope Oven, and if your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry.

I am adding several new and handsome Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred Different Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parlor, Ottice and Hall Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Ploughs, Stove Pipes and Tiuware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by eny manvfacturer in the Lower Provinces,

Terms and prices will be found as favorable as can be obtained elsewhere,
