Yesso.

Yesso, which it is now rumored the Rus- sians design to annex, stands second in im- portance of the group of Islands which form te Japanese Empire. It contains about thirty thousand square miles, the greatr part of which is very fertile, but very little of which has been brought into cultivation. The chief port is that of the city of Huko dite, which contains a population of twenty: five thousand, or more than a third of the total population of the island. This port was one of the first, if not the first, opened up to the commerce of the world, treaties granting the privilege t» the United States and Great Britain having being signed in

in 1854. Since that time consuls of botl countries have resided in the city. Besides this port, which is open all the year round, there are other seaport towns of lupportance. Coal is found on the Island in sufficient quantities to be largely mined for the use o steamers. Pies essing, as it does these two g «at advantages, good open winter ports and cval beds, ani lying as it does off the cvast oi Russia, it is not strange if the Czar and his ministers at St. Petersburg who are now striv- ing to make Russia a maritime power should sze and annex Yesso in the furtherance ot tueir desigu. The i-land of Karafto, whicl lies just north of Yesso, and is the northern most of the Japanese group, has long been disputed territory between Russia and Japan. subjects of both of which nations occupy the island, which remains neutral ground. When Russia’s ability for picking quarrels witl. weaker nations is considered, when a suitab!: eid isto be gained, it is likely that there are gol grounds for the Japanese jealousy oi R issia’s designs.

Diptheria. DR. A. H. CHANDLER (OF NEW BRUNSWICK) ON THE SULPHUR CURE.

a

Tue Telegraph, a few days ago, contained the following letter from Dr. A. H. Chand ler, now of Dorchester, treating of the sul phur cure for diptheria :—

‘*Sim,—In yesterday's issue of your journal, [ read with pleasure your interest- lng article, ‘Sulphur for Diptheria,’ in connection with the name of Mr. John S. Wiles, of Thorncombe Durset ; and, as you invite the opinion of others, [ venture tu offer the following observations.

‘* Having attended a large number of cases of cdiptheria, during the past two years, allow me to add my testimony—al- ready recorded in the Canada Lancet—to that of Surgeon Wiles, as to the wonderful! power sulphur exhibits in controlling this dreadful disease.

‘* My plan is, simply, through a common goose-quill, or small glas¢ tube, to blow the sulphur into the threat, well back freely, lavishly and persistently, every half hour, night and day in bal cases: at the same time fumigating all apartments where the disease prevails, twice or three times in the twenty-four hours, by burning the powder in a small shovel or other convenient ar- ticle. This, conjvined with the frequent exhibition of stimulants, when there is de- cided prostration, in adults more particular- ly, and the generous use of egg mixture, beef tea, ete., will save many lives. I may add, in using sulphur, by tha method above mentioned, a great deal of the powder is necessarily swallowed by the patient. It rapidly destroys any deposits of false mem brane existing, and prevents further spread- ing along the palate, around the tonsils,ete.

SUPREME COURT.

Jan. 20, 1879.

Joun McSweex, sworn—I had a basket if groceries stulen at the Seven Mile House m the occasion referred to. [ was there vhen the persons were brought back to the iouse. When the horse and sleigh with shich my basket was found, was brought sack, they denied that it belonged to them; ut afterwards they confessed that it was heirs, and said they were sorry they had ‘ot into such a scrape. Dockendorff offered ue $10 to say nothing about the matter ; ut [ refused the money.

To. Mr. Hodgson—I heard some one say hey were to be let go if the articles were ‘ound. There was also some talk of having chem taken up before the Magistrate. I saw both prisoners go into the bar-room loor; but L do not know whether or not they both remained there.

Georce Moar--(sworn) Reside in the ricinity of Seven Mile House. The prison- ‘1s were not at my house on the night of the rubbery. Somebody came to me be- tween 7 and 8 o'clock and told me the articles were stolen. I went to help search for them. We found MeNeill’s things on the side of the Malpeque Road. I was not with the party that found the sleigh. I saw Dockendorff and Crosby at the Seven Mile House about 11 o'clock that night. I said to Crosby, ‘surely, Jim, you didn’t steal he things.” Ue said “ yes.” Dockendori cold me he didn’t take them.

To Mr. Peters—The things were found about fifty yards from where the horses of the Millvale men were tied. I was told by M-. M:Neill that the prisoners had con- fessed, He didn’t say he had threatened them.

Mr. Moar—(re-called)— The prisoners ‘ame back to my house and two or three lays aftewards and asked me whether ['d nterceed for them. They asked me to go to Neil McNeill and try tu make it up.

The Jury was addressed on behalf of the wisoners by F. Peters and E. J. Hodgson, wnd on behalf of the Crown by C. Pakner. \fter retiring for a short time they returned verdict of ‘hot guilty.”

1RAND JURY PRESENTMENT IN THE BIGAMY CASE—THE NORTH RIVER SERIES, No. 3.

JAN. 21, 1879.

The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Hens- ley presiding.

The Queen vs. John Lynch. Indictment for bigamy. The Grand Jury present a [rue Bill.

The Queen at the prosecution of Alexander McKinlay vs. James Crosby. Indictment for larceny. For the Crown, the Attorney azeneral and C. Palmer, Q. C. ; for the ovisoner, F, Peters and A. A. McLean.

Mr. C. Patmer—This is an indictment for stealing four sheep. On the night the sheep were stolen, the prosecutor's son— returning from Charlottetown—met a per- sun driving in a wagon which contained several sheep. The ‘next morning the prosecutor's flock was counted, and four sheep were found to be missing ; and on that morning the prisoner suld four sheep to his brother, and that day, or the day after, the latter exposed in the market four large carcasses of mutton. The prisoner, on being questioned, said he had bought the sheep from George White, with whom he had been working; but White will prove that the prisoner never got any sheep from him.

Avexanper McKiytey, sworn— On the 22nd of last October I had 21 sheep in a tield abont 12 chains from my _ house. Four of them were stolen in the saime night. Icame to Charlottetown about 10 v'clock next day. I enquired of all the butcners, and cuuld get no account of them. A few days after I came to town, and saw wwutten in a barrel in the shop of William Crosby. I then went to DesBrisay's fora warrant for the prisoner. Then I went to see him. I asked him where he got the four sheep he sold to his brother William ? He t:ld me he never sold him any sheep. [ said, your brother told me you sold him 4sheep. He said, where would I get 4 sheep ! { said [ guess in my pasture. I then went to Fred. Bevan and asked him if Crosby had slaughtered four sheep at his slaughter house. | got out a warrant for the prisuner but he cleared ont. I never sold Crosby any sheep. I would not have taken seven dollars apiece for the sheep.

To Mr. Peters—I have given up keeping sheep pretty much because people steal them. If they had been killed by dogs there would be some remains of them left. It is not possible that my sheep strayed away. My sheep are not given to Jumping. On the evening of the 22nd October last I

Danren C. McKixntay—(sworn) —Four heavy ewes were stolen from our field on the night of the 22nd of October. About

o'clock I met one or two persons coining towards town with sheep in a wagon. My suspicions were then aroused and I mentioned the occurence to my father next morning. I have known the pris- oners several years. He has been staying at Dockendortf’s. r

fat. Cuartes Warren, sworn—On the 26tl.

of October or the 2nd November I bough a fore-quarter of very fime mutton at the shop of Crosby & BeHarrell,for 66 cents. 3 onsidered it a very caesp bargin. | afterwards bought some very choice corne: mutton from the same parties.

Crement Georce Wartre, sworn—The wrisoner stayed with me about the 2nd etober, and afterwards in November. I wked him one day whether he stole Me- Kinlay’s sheep? He said ‘ No.” After wards, Mr. McKinlay came and asked Groaby where he got the sheep he sold his irother. Crosby gave a Szotch answer. de said, *f What sheep !” McKinlay sic ‘That'll do, that'll do,” and drove away { then asked Crosby if he stole the sheep, ind he again answered ** No.”

C. Patmer.—Is there not at present a prosecation pending against you on a chai ge of larceny, and are you not under arrest !

Jupce Hensiny ruled thet the question was not admissible.

To Mr. McLean—I have lost sheep. 1 saw sheep of mine at McKinlay’s last fall. I saw sheep of McKinlay’s dead—-lying about the shore and other places.

To Mr. Palmer—I have talked with William Crosby since ] was under a Crown subpoena.

Jupce Henstsy ruled that the witness was not a ** hostile witness; and would not permit the Crown Counsel te cross examine with the view of showing that he was ** hostile.”

Cuar.es B. BeHarrett—William Crosby is my partner in business. We have been in partnership about three months. He foliows the business of butcher. He wasa stranger to me. I came from Nova Scotia. Our slaughter house was at Job Bevan’s. 1 remember about the time we started, getting four carcasses of mutton from James Crosby. They were pretty good. It was about the 23rd or 24th day of October. [The sheep were bronght alive to the slaughter house. It was between ten and eleven ia the forenoon. I saw James Crosby there. J did not ask him anything about the sheep. {I do nut re:inember kill ing so many on any other than @ market} day before or since. Before the sheepcaie, ' Crosby told me he get them froma man out in the country that he had been work- ing for. Idemy that he said he gut them frou Clement George White. The sheep were brought to theslaughter house in Crusbys wagon and by Job Bevan’s horse. I do rot remember that Crosby agreed to leave the sheep at our slaughterhvuse the night before. I supposed they would be there in the morning when I went out to work. [| suld some of it to Charles Warren. ‘To the best of my knowledge, the sheep were ewe. Idorot remember the marks. We saved some of the heads and sume we didn’t.

WiiuiamM Crossy, sworn-—-We received the sheep abont 9 or 10 o'clock on the evening of the 23rd October. We received them from James Crosby. He did not tell me he got them from White. It told Mc- Kinley it was likely he got the sheep from George White. I saw my brother the afternoon before and gave him the key of the slaughter house to put the sheep in when he brought them. He didn’t tell me he was going to steal the sheep, and I had no idea he was guing to do so,

To the foreman— My brother got the horse and wagon with which to bring the sheep for me.

W. P. Cotwi11, sworn—William Crosby told me that his brother James told him he got the sheep from George White.

ALEXANDER McKrntay, recalled— When I went into the shop 1 asked William Crosby where he got the four sheep, and he said that he got them from his brother; and his brother said he got them from George White. He repeated it three times while [ was in the shop.

How Some Men Died.

Death sometimes comes at the invitation of mortals whose imprn ience hastens the inevit- able. Glodsmith jell a victim to his own folly in prescribing for himself in oppositio to his medical adviser. The emineat scholar Ludolph Luster, a name which can never be mentioned without respect by philologists, brought about his death in a singular manner. It was his habit to study at alow table sur- rounded with three or four circles of books placed on the floor. The continual stooping was thus necessitated by the position of t! e books and the table caused an abcess in the pancreas, from which he died. A surfeit of melous brought another mighty scholar Argy- ropulus, to the grave. Shenstone, the poet, died as he had quarrelled with his hvouse- keeper. who, it would appear, was dearer than housekeepers should be, and poor Shenstune, relapsing into a ft of sulks, insisted on sleep ing in acart in his backyard to spite his mis- tiess. The result wasa fever which carried him off. Parnell, the author of that beautiful poem, the ‘‘ Hermit,” drank himself to death in his grief for his wife’s death, and Daniel Morhorf died of grief on account of a similar bereavement, without the agravation of alco- holic poison. Tue poet, Fletcher—who had his foibles—fell in some degree a victim to per- sonal vanity. He had ordered a new suit of clothes, and refused, though the plague was raging, to leave London before they were sent home. He stayed in town, caught the plague anldied.
