KILLED BY A FaLutinG Tree.—On Friday, at Conquerall, a sad accident occurred. Simon Naugler, son of Mr. James Naugler, was with his father in the woods chepping.

ATTEMPTED SuicipE.—A young girl, resid- ing of West Street, Halifax, attempted to commit suicide by taking a quantity of mor-

hine pills and laudanum, on Tuesday night fast. It appears that for some time past she had been suffering from severe mental depres- sion, and had at last determined to make away with herself. On Tuesday night, hav- ing purchased the drugs previously, she ob- tained a bottle of whiskey, and, locking her- self up in her room, drank the liquor—doubt- less to nerve herself for what was to follow. She then took the morphine pills, 12 in num- ber, and a quantity of laudanum; but the whiskey, acting as an antidote, caused her stomach to reject them. Medical aid was summoned and although lying in a precarious state, she is out of danger.

A shocking case of neglect has come to light in Hull. A youth of 17 was taken down with small-pox, and his family were so scared of the disease that no one would go near him ; some of the neighbors hear- ing of it went to the house with a bowl of soup. On entering the room they found the youth covered with blood, and almost at the point of death. The soup being placed to his lips he ravenously swallowed it. An examination showed he had eaten the flesh from one of his arms, in his agony of hunger. He died a few minutes after the arrival of the neighbors.

Justice Harrison, addressing the grand jury, referred to the cases of the nationalist prisoners. He defined the crime of sedi- tion and told the jury they were entitled to consider all the surrounding circum- stances under which the speeches were de- livered, in order to judge of the intent. He said that Brennan’s case was a more serious one en account of the attempt of the latter to seduce the police from duty. In conclusion Judge Harrison informed the jury that they were only bound to find prima facie case, and that the trial would take place in another Court.

The fish shipped per the ‘‘Louise” went direct to London, arrived in perfect order and condition, and are realizing prices far in excess of those anticipated by shippers. Several cases of salmon were shipped by steamer from Rimouski, but they were from
