and Province. Its financial position, too, is good. But, this jancture, there seems to be a lack of

Assuming—as Tue Ex- | AMINER has assumed—that the ‘‘kindest of | neighbors” and the daughter of a respected | minister are innocent of the horrible crime | which has been committed in our midst, | why be silent about it ? Why hush the mat- terup! Why not rather set in motion every means to further the ends of justice / If ‘the kindest of neighbors” has been in- jured in respect to his wife—one who ought to be as dear to him as life itself~ why not make the fact known, in order that the person or persons by whom he has been injured may be brought to justice. The reason which the Patriot gives for its silence ts one which reflects strongly and injaricusly upon ‘the kind st of neighbors” and the daughter of one whom it respecés. Mr. Sutherland and Mrs. Weeks have each good cause to cry, friends.”

It is scarcely necessary to add that every word which has been reported and said by Tue Examtner has been reported and said to further the cause of justice—a cause in which every man and woman in this com- munity is interested—and that we cannot cease to deplore the fact that Mr. Suther land has not deemed it his duty t® aid the officers of the law in unravelling the mystery of the crime committed in his house.

ARSENIC is one of the metallic elements. It 18 of a brittie metal of a brilliant dark ateei-gray lustre. The symptoms it pro- duces when taken into the system are : an acid taste, fetid state of the mouth, frequent constriction of the throat and gullet, burniag pain at the pit of the stomach, inflammation of the lips, tongue, throat and gullet, exceedingly fetid stools, small, frequent and irregu!ar pu'se, palpitation, syne ope; insaliablethirst, difficult resperation, cold sweets, scanty, red, bloody and sometimes albuminous urine, a livid circle round the eyelids, and livid spots over the body, paralysis of the sensory nerves, or loss of feeling, especially in the feet and hands, faliing off of the hair and criticle, delirium and convulsions.

The principal antidote is the hydrated sesquioxides of irou given in the moist or pulpy state, in doses of a tablespoonful to an adult, every five or ten minutes. Its administration should be preceded by the use of the stomach pump or a prompt eme- tic, such a3 mustard or the sulphate of zinc, accompanied by demylcent drinks such as milk, white of eggs and water. *

Following is alist of the ensigns of some the ancient nations, regarding which | have at different times received enquiries :

Of Ancient Athens China—a dragon. Ancient Corinth—a flyivg horse, i.e. Pe- gasus,

Ancient Danes—a raven.

Ancieut Egypt—a bull, crocodile, a vulture. England (in the Tudor era) St. George's Cross,

Ancieut France—the cape of St. Martin: then the oriflamme.

The Franks (Salian)—a bnill’s bead.

The Gau!s—a wolf, bear, ball, cock.

The ancient Lacedemonians—the letter Al- ph » (A)

The ancient Messenians—the letter mu (M). The ane-ent Persians—a golden eagle with ou'stre'ched wings on a « hire field; a dove.

The Paisdadian Dynasty of Persia—a black- awith’s apion.

The ancieut Romans—an e»gle for the legion; a wolf, a horse, a boar, a minotaur. etc

Romulas —a handful of hay or fern.

The ancient Saxons—a trotting horse,

The Tui ks—horses tails.

The ancient Weish—a dragon, * *

The Standara of Romulus, a handful of hay or fern mentioned above was succeeded by bronze or silver devices of the wolf, horse, buar, ete., attached to a staff In later ages the Roman standard was the image of the Emperor, a hand outstretched. Mains confined all promiscous devices to the cohorts and reserved the eagle for the exclusive use of the legion. This eagle made of gold ar.4 silver, was borne on the tup of a spear and was represented with its wings outspread, and bearing in one of iis talons a thunderbolt.

* * *

The anc’ent ensign of Persia, a black- smith’s apron, was tirst used by one Kaivah of Gao, a blicksm th who headed a rebel- lion against Biver, a merciless tyrant, and displayed his apron as a_ banner. The apron was adopted by the next king and continued for centuries to be the national standard. (B.C. 800)

* *

The TurkishStandards consist of four:

1. Sanyak Cherif (Standard of the Pro- phet.) green silk. This is preserved with great care in the seraglio, and is never brought forth except in time of war.

2. The Sanjak, red.

3. The Tuy, consisting of one, two or three horse-tails, according to the rank of the person who bears it. Pashas with three tails are of the highest dignity. Beys have only one horse-tail The tails are fasten- ed to the ena of a gilt lance, and carried before the pasha or bey.

4 The Alem, « broad standard, which, instead of a spear head, has in the middle a silver plate of a crescent shape.
