Kwow tne that there is not one of the Patriot staff from Henry Lawson downto W. D. Stewart who can analyze an English sentence we will waste no words with them over the aentence which they quote from Friday’s Ex- aMINER, further than to remark that it is strictly correct.

Tue California election seems to have re- suited in the Republicans rents State ticket by « handsome plurality. Two of their candidates, Page and Paheco, are elected to Congress. It is not yet certain whether the Legislature will give a Republican majority er not. Kalloch, the workingman’s candidate, who was shot # other day,and who is stillin a dangerous dondition, has been elected Mayor of San Francisco.

Ow Saturday afternoon Major Morris’ Bat- tery of Artillery was reviewed by the Deputy Adjutant General at Victoria Park. On his ar- rival. at the grounds a general salute was tired from Fors Edward. The D. A. G. min- utely inspected the dress and accoutrements of the men, after which the battery made a creditable exhibition of their marching in quick and double time. The review was con- ¢laded by several manceuvres in the ‘‘new attack.”

’ THE Maine election comes off to-day. It is likely to be an uncommonly lively contest. There are three candidates for the Governor- ship: Alonza Garcelon,the present incumbent, Demoeratic; Daniel F. Davis, Republican ; and Joseph L. Smith, Greenback. Last year the vote for Governor stood: Republican, 56,554; Greenback. 41,371; Democratic, 28,208. ‘The constitution uires a clear majority over all fora ceslon te the people ; accordingly, the electien was thrown into the

islature, where the Greenbacks and Demo- erats, being in the majority, united and chose Dr. Garcelon, though he had received the smallest vote of three candidates before the people, Maine, to-day, also votes upon the proposed amendments to her constitution providing biennial elections, biennial legisla- tive sessions, and biennial terms of office for the Governor, members of the Legislature,and other State officers.

}A FARMER AND HIS DAUGHTER HACKED 4

PIECES AT THEIR OWN DOOR.-—THE MURDERED MAN'S SON SUSPECTED.

| Morrissura, Ont., Sept. J.--One of the ‘most diabolical crimes ever perpetrated was committed on Tuesday evening be- tween nine and ten o’clock, near West Winchester, a smal! village distant about 118 miles north of ‘7, on the main |

lroad to Ottawa, R [

farmer a and§highly resp

this eldest daughter Ada, a young giri tour-

‘teen years of age, were foully murderea in | jtheir own home, situated a mile from West Winchester. The weapon used by the

murderer was found to have been an axe| from the woodshed adjoining the house.

tially as follows : THE WIDOW'S STATEMENT,

Mrs. Brown's story is that a man rapped at the door of the kitchen before they were asleep. Her husband got up, lighted a lamp, and went to the door, when he was immediately struck with an axe. A scuffle ensued, in which Brown was frightfully hacked, his skull being smashed in and the neck and upper part of the body badly eut. His wife, hearing the struggle, went down stairs with the younger child, and seeing the strange man struggling with her hus band, she ran out of the house by a back door.

WHAT THE SON SAYS.

Clark’s story is that he heard the noise of the struggle, and went down stairs arm- ed with a revolver, when his father clasped his arms around his neck and said, ‘‘My son, | am murdered.” Clark then rushed at the murderer, who struck him a heavy blow over the forehead with a chair, com- pletely stunning him. In the meantime the elder girl came down stairs and was at- tacked by the murderer, who brutally as- saulted her with the axe, her head, should- ers an arm being hacked in a shocking manner. Clark says he tried to shoot the strange man, but the revolver missed fire four or five times, and meanwhile the man escaped.

No trace of the strange man can be found, and all sorts of rumors are afloat, some which tend to implicate members of the family. But, in justice to them, it would be premature to give publicity to these rumors. A ceroner’s inquest is now being held, and the evidence elicited threat will probably throw seme light on this most terrible tragedy.

THE SON SUSPECTED.

The evidence seems not to be against any stranger, but appears to point clearly to the son Clark. Clark will probably be arrested to-night. ° It is probable the jury will not get through the with inquest for a day or two.

The Zulu War.

Cetewayo, notwithstanding the amount of sympathy that is being expended on him by certain New York papers, seems to be pretty near the end of his career. A des- patch which the associated press agent did not think proper to telegraph to St. John, states that Amrakage, Cetewayo’s new kraal, was burned on the 135th August. The British cavalry the same day started in pursuit of Cetewayo, and on the morning of the 15th arrived at a kraal where he passed the previous night, but ascertained that he fled to Bust, Lord Gifford, with a party of mounted natives, continues the pursuit. General Wolseley _ tele- graphs that Cetewayo has only a few followers with him; his Prime Ministers, two of his sons_ and three of his brothers have sur.endered with six hundred and fifty cattle; arms and cattle are being surrendered daily. The Colonial forces and natives ad- vanced from Lunenburg on the 12th Aug., Oham’s men joining them, and the whole force is expected to be opposed on Assegai river. General Wolseley has countermand- ed the order for the advance of the Swates, as Cetewayo is known not to be in their direction. Gen. Wolseley is expected at Pretoria on the 10th September. Another despatch which we published this morning, states that Cetewaye’s powder magazine has been destroyed and that the Zulu King was willing to submit and pay tribute, He will not be afforded the opportunity as he is no lenger recognized King by the British. A few days more will probably see Cetewayo either assasinated by some of his followers or delivered a prisoner to the British.—St. John Telegraph.

Sie a ak Revival of Trade.

The London financial papers speak with bated breath on the subject of the revival of trade. Similar signs of improvement have appeared before, and have been found to be delusive. There have been in the seven months past a decrease of £5,700,000 in the imports. In food products, there has been a decrease of 114 per cent in value. The mest striking decrease in food importation is in tea, the figures showing a diminution of £1,415,000 in the seven months. There has been a decrease of £106,900 in butter imported ; £352,900 in ‘cheese ; £387,600 in Indian corn; £318,- 300 in barley; £327,100 in rice. The) greatest increase is that of £344,000 for wheat. The increase in the iron trade is considerable, but the business is not being done at a profit, in fact, it isdone at a heavy loss, and manufacturers are shy of taking orders for future delivery. The in- ‘crease in pauperism is one of the worst signs of the times. There has been an in- crease for the past quarter of 40,433 per- ‘sons, or six per cent over the same period ‘of 1878, and when compared with 1878, the ‘increase is 9 percent. In some places the { ‘increase is 13 per cent over 1878, and 24 per cent over 1877. There is nothing at all to indicate thai the evil is lessening, and much to prove that the coming winter will be one of grgat trouble among the

The report given by the family is substan-
