Tue Examiner does not refer to the Patriot as a standard of ‘‘honor, good faith, and manliness.” is thrown.away. Our faith in the ability of Mr. DeBlois to show that his political course has been pursued fro:a conscientious and truly honorable motives is just as strong as ever it was.

A Dovste Crime.—European newspa

pers bring the intelligence that a brewer

named Wetzel, at Courtance, Switzerland,

has just been sentenced to death for adouble

crime of peculiar atrocity. In order to ex-

tricate himself from financial difficulties, he

set fire to his brewery, which he had over insured, causing thereby the death of one of his men, who perished in the flames. He then poisoned his wife with arsenic, in or- der that he might be free to marry a wo- man with money, and so further retrieve his damaged fortunes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Patriot reports that, at a public meeting held in Graham’s Road Schoolhouse, several temperance speeches were delivered by Messrs. G. Mal- lett, T. Hayden, D. McLean, W. Pillman, Newton McLeod, J. Cann and others. All of the speakers waxed eloquent in their portrayal of the evils of intemperonce. They all favored the immediate adoption of the Canada Temperance Act by this Island. The correspondent adds that: Judging from the applause which greeted their re- marks, a strong temperance feeling must prevail in that locality, which, if the oppor- tunity will present itself, will do good ser- vice in sweeping the last loathsome relics of intemperance from Queen’s County at least.

Apropos of the robbery of A. T. Stew- art’s grave, the New York ‘‘ Times” makes the startling suggestion ‘‘ that a city burial ground is an enclosure easy to be rifled, and that many other bodies have been removed by resurectionists. Greenwood and Wood- lawn and other suburban cemeteries are watched with such unceasing vigilance that desecreation is well nigh impossible, while from the fact that city burying grounds are in such exposed localities they are supposed to protect themselves,as it were. If the men who stole Stewart's body could accom- plish the deed after advertising it by one unsuccessful attempt, how many others, in- terested in the perpetual concealment of their deeds, may have hitherto practised their abominable profession with success.”

A Tereipie TRAGEDY.—FRATRICIDE AND Suicipe.—Binghampton, N. Y., Nov. 11.— A terrible tragedy occurred at West Chen- ago, eight miles north of this city on Sun- day noon. Jamés and David Tabor, bro- thers, have disagreed for some time about a division of property. On Sunday David went to the barn were James was husking corn. They quarrelled, and David, seizing a pitchfork, knocked James down, and stab- bed him inthe chest fifteen or twenty times. He lived only a few minutes. David then went to the woods and blew his own brains ovt with a shot gun.. Both were well to do, and both midd'saged. David leaves a wife and four children. James was un- married.

Mutiny! Treason! Hear the Ottawa ‘Herald :”—‘*Mr. McKenzie is a very good man in his way, but he lacks breadth of grasp and the faculty of keeping his friends together. His proper place, in the estima- tion of all, is a follower—-a leader he never can be again.

A CORRESPONDENT at Souris writes As: yet no further trace of the body of Edward Lyons, who has been missing for several weeks, has yet been discovered. Reports of foul play are everyday circulated. The friends of Lyons are still making an active search.

DispatcuEs tothe New Brunswick papers announce that Hon. J. C. Pope has ap- pointed a son of James Currier, M. P. of Ottawa, his private secretary. Mr. Pope informs us that he has made no such ap- pointment yet, and that the dispatch is a mistake,

A Lonpon despateh of the 12th, says :— Howden, the winner of the boat race, yes- terday, has been matched to row Hanlan over the Tyne course next May for $1,000 aside. [Despatch does not say whether the stakes are to be $1,000 or £1,000 a side— probably the latter. Edward Hanlan leaves for England early in January. |

In his sermon on Sunday evening at the Central Presbyterian Church, Mr. Mitchell read the splendid descriptien of the ideal woman in the 31st chapter of Proverbs, and pointed out that she possessed the seven cardinal virtues: purity, veracity, skill, thrift, self-sacrifices, prudence, benevol- ence. ‘“These,” said the preacher, ‘‘make up the sum of female excellence, even as the seven colors of the rainbow constitute the bright and beneficent light of the sun.” —Toronto Mail.

RatHER VeERDANT.—A miss who was about to take her first ride on a train, stepped aboard of a crowded car at a station between this city and Mount Stewart. En- quiring for a seat, she was ordered by a saucy fellow who occupied one near the door to *‘ go up stairs,” and, so saying, he pointed to the small door in the corner of the car. She gently opened the door, look- ed around, {closed it again; and, after cast- ing a glance of horror at that saucy fellow, she made an exit, amid peals of laughter from the passengers.

An Ottawa despatch reports that the Duke of Edinburgh will accompany the Governor General and party from Halifax to Ottawa.

Micuart WiHeLan, rigger, in justice to his character, requests us to state the fol- iowing in reference to a recent charge of larceny which was preferred against him in the Police Court: Mr. Whelan is watehman for the ofticial Assignee ca the Duncan estate, On Wednesday week he missed a piece of rope from a raft which belonged to the estate ; and on Monday last he saw a similar piece on the vessel of Michael Malone. Believing it to be that which was missing, he took it and informed Mr. M. that he could not get it until he proved that it was his. Mr. Malone summoned him to Court ; both made their respective statements, and Mr. Malone withdrew the charge.

A sap shooting accident, which will probably be attended with fatal results, oc- curred at the residence of Mr. Geo. Mutch, French Fort, this morning at nine o’clock— the victim being a step-son of Mr. Mutch’s, named John Sneeston, who is about fifteen years of age. The little fellow—early this morning-—completed a scoop for the pur- pose of lifting bran from the bottom of bar- rels, and at nine o'clock he was stooped over a bran-barrel showing Mr. Mutch how it worked. Standing near him at the time was a young man named George Scantle- berry, who was examining a loaded breach- loading gun. As the boy turned to show the scoop to his step-father, the gun, in the hands of Scantleberry, went off accidental- ly, and the charge of heavy gooseshot struck the boy on the edge of the hip and passed across. Some of the shot found their way out, but the greater portion of the charge lodged in the centre of the abdomen. Dr. Jenkins was immediately summoned. Qn arriving he removed all the shot possible, dressed the wound and did allin his power to relieve his sufferings. The Doctor remained until the boy got over the shock. He reports the wound most dangerous, and we regret to learn that the chances for the recovery of the little fellow are very few. Mr. Scantle- bury, in whose hands the gun went off, feels much depressed.
