The Wesleyan Missionary Record publish- es the following extract from a short note written by Mr. Cart-y. announcing the massacre of the Rev. 'i‘hos. linker, a Wes- Ieyan missionary at Fiji. together with an assistant missionary and six native teach- cm:—

“I am sorry to inform you that the whole district has suddenly been thrown into the deepest sorrow by the death of my esteemed colleague. the late liar. Thomas Baker. lie felt his home on the 18th of July to visit some island tribes; and on Sunday the 215i he and a native assistant missionary.

You will imagine our grief at this moment. and that ol poor Mrs. Baker and the three fatiierlcss girls. who are now with us. He set. olit on the 27th October for Soloirit.

BRUTAL EOMIOIDE OF A WIPE.

[From the Norfolk ( 1:.) Journal. Dec. it] We have to record this morning the murder, by means of” It process rivaling the most. diabolical contrirances of the in~ qulsitlon. ol'a young woman and mother by the name of Johanna Moore. by a fiend in human shape nauicd Edward Moore. whom it was her misfortune to call has- band. The brute literally kicked his wife to death, atorture which he inflicted by degrees. and. in tile language of one of the witnesses before the jury ol inquest, “ danced her body until her breath went out.“ Cries of the dying wnmnn brought several of the neighbors to the door of the domicile. but they were prevented from entorin by the man-monster. who stood in tho oorway with a dirk knife in his hand and threatened to "rip open" the first who entered. This bloody atl'ray took incl: at the residence of Moore. on Sugar flill, that part of Newton adjoining Gos- iort. Moore is known to have been ahitually addicted to the ill-treatin his wife. and this assault. niaddenrt by an excess of drink. proved to be the "fin- ishing stroke."

When we entered the building where

the tragedy occurred it had the appearance, we may say, of n slaughter pen. lliood wn‘s bespattcred in every direction. and signs of'a strn gie, as if the deceased had attempted to ( efend herself. were very apparent. The appearance of the Cttl'pSe was trill ghastly. and evidences of the terrible mating to which tho victim was sub ccted were apparent on every portion of t 0 body. Tito skull alone was frac- tured in seven places. and one huge hole found in the back oftho cranium was said to be the result ofa stttmpol'tho hmtl heel. This man. or monster.

Sroniis A'l‘ lloiit»: AXI) Antwan—The coasts of the British is :uidsliavc this week hieen v"ited by a. violent storm. and the list of wrecks :iiid casualiticsi :trniingly great. Last Saturday the storm broke in all its fury over the whole extent of the coast front the English Channel to the l’eutland Firth. and when morning dawn- ed on Monday the shore was strewn with wrecks. aiid iti too many cases the lost vessels had involved their crews in the. vortex of destruction. of Wales and on the equally dangerous cast coasts of Scotland and England gal. Iant ships went down with all on board. and in one case more than twentv lives were lost by the Ulist-tliug of a tilt-limit.

Although little is thought oi the services rendered by lifeboats and their gallant crews. the courage shown by the crews of lileboats‘ is of a. higher kind than that of the soldier who volunteers on it forlorn hope, as there is no stimulant of glory and reward to urge them on. alid although there is at the present time an crticr established for rewarding those who have saved life at sea. it seems to he nig- gardly bestowed. as we hear of few who have received it. The Albert Cross. the order referred to, ought to fulfil the object ofits foundation. atitfthe men who r their lives to save their fellows from a watery grave ought to be rewarded the same as the soldier. who. in face of the enemy. r st ucs his companion irqu death. is rewarded by the Victoria Cross—(Has- gear Settlincl, Ike. 7.

All Saturday night, Sunday anti Sunday night, he sat there dead. holding sniue United States bonds and bills in his hands. and not till Monday morn- ing was he found by the woman who came to sweep out the office.

The following extract of a letter from Ottawa, hearing date Dec. 12. the Morning News says was reeelvedin St. do in on Thurs- daylast.

“ At a meeting of the Executive yesterday the feeling was intensely in favor of the pure Northern route, In much so that Robertson. Steam: and Gray urged Mr. Tilley to agree with Mr. Mitchell, and go for the Northern Central. or that St. John would lose £lll,--l'll'l(l this is pretty sure to he the case, if ’l‘illcy is foolish enough to hope for l. Frontier. The Committee on Printing yesterday recommend l000 co felt in English, and 500 in French of Mrjor iobinsutt's Report, to be printed for the use ofllic Commons. and refused to sanc- tion the reprinting of Fleming's us not of sufficient importance to justify the expense; and thus it is everywhere, the press, the House, the Government, all iit favor of the North. and Mitchell really the best friend of St. John. because he is strong for what is feasible. while Tillcy is grasping at a shadow. The mail isjus. closing. and I hasten to tell you this. You may rely upon its perfect accuracy, not as a matter of opinion. but its one of fact. New for my opinion. It isjust this. 'I'illey will never get the Frontier, and in trying for that he will lose even tho Coni- promise. Our members see that plain enough. and hence the disposition to urge hint to join his. Mitchell to get will: is feasible."

l\lit. EDITOR:

Sin—liming noticed in your issue of last week that the Suiutuerside Delialitig Society have decided that an Act of Incorporation would l't‘lit‘fil tliis'I‘own, Ihcgleave. through the columns of your Journal, to cller a few remarks on this important sulijcct.

I think the time has not yet arrived for Sunimerside to become an incorporated Town. for this reason; that it in too small and too puor to bear the expenses consequent upon the healthy working of all the paraphernalia connected with s. City Corporation. It may be a very nice thing; to be able to say that we live in a city corporate; have our Mayor,

City Council, l'oliccuien. &c.; and at state- ed intervals our Civic Elections to fire our ambition; all this may seem very fine, but let us sit down atnl calmly count the cost, and perhaps we may be led to very different conclusions; let us then count the probable eypcnses of it City Corporation. First, we have a Mayor with a salary ot‘sny one hun- dred pounds, llecordcr one hundred pounds, City Clerk. eighty pounds, three policemen. say eighty pounds each, two hundred and forty pounds. Ilcrc we have the snug little sum of five hundred and twenty pounds to begin with. and still we want lI Police Station and Lock-up, which would cost at least two hundred and fifty pounds more. to say no- thing of the various improvements needed in the shape of Sidevwalks, Ornamental Squares, &c.; the sole object of Incorporation by its advocates. Now the question arises where is this—It) as large aunnint—lo coins from? The answer is from tavern and distillcr's licences. wlnirfagcs. &c.; the balance to he made up by taxation. And suppose the necessary amounts is raised, how, I risk will we be bencllttcd by it? It will take the very last penny we can grind out of ourselves aml neighbors to pay three or four officials, and not one penny will be left for the many iin- movements which we all admit are so much needed. We are now paying a yearly flrc tax of fifty pounds. To raise this amount an assessment. of one per cent. on the yearly valut‘ of all the property in the Town is levied. This is considered a grevious burden, and is loudly complained of by many.
