mee = HOW IT WAS CLEARED UP.

Concluded.

Judve of my surprise and indignation when, on the witness-stand, the villian denicd having given me any instructions from Mr. Guiunett and Elnathan Ganche —Every word of it true, except the io | famous suppression of a single fact by the latter——Jeft the examining magistrate no} room for doubt, and I was fully commit-| ted for trial.

I wasnot long in diviniog Elaathan Ganche’s motive. We had been rival} suitors of Martha Hale, and my love had} beon preferred to his. Elnathan yielded with a good grace, seemingly, and oven protessed to be my friend—a profession I accepted the more readily, because I felt a secret pity forhisdisappointment. |

His profidy was not apparent. His plan was to fix upon me the brand of a felon, thus rendering my union with Martha impossible, and opening the way to a renewal of his owa hopes. The ne- farious plot was contrived with such in- fernal skill that its success seemed*well- nigh certain.

One evening, not long before the day fixed for the trial, when the garrulous old jailor brought in supper, he seemed more talkative than usual. Instead of thrustiog the dishes through the cell door as formerly, he entered and sat down for 2a chat.

The conversation soon turned on the approaching trial, of the result of which I spoke despondingly. s

‘] wonder at your staying here to wait for itso patiently,’ said the jailer.

‘It’s hardly a matter of choice,’ I an- awered.

‘Well, a strong, active.young fellow like you might find his way out, one would think.’

There was a curious twinkle in tho cunning old eyes which excited my atten- tion.

‘I’m but old and feebie,’ he continued ; ‘what's to hinder you, now, for instance, from binding me hand and foot, and, after changing clothes with me, taking these keys aud depart at your leisure?

‘1’lldo it!’ I cried, springingto my feet; an innocent man owes no submission to the laws injustice !’

‘Coie don’t get excited,’ whined the jailer, ir atone of mock alarm. ‘I'll not drive you to the use of force, which it would be useless to resist.’

With -strips torm-from my sheet, I. bound the docile keeper hand and foot piscee him in an easy posture on the

, gagged his mouth comfortably, took his bunch of keys, locked him in, pulled his hat over my eyes and soon was a free man.

Before morning I was miles away, and at the next -seaport town shipped as & common sailor.

In a foreign land I began life anew and in a few years succeeded in gain- ing a competence. But of what value was it, or even life itself, when not shared by her whose absence made all else worthless ?

At times I was tempted to write to Martha, ‘But no,’ 1 said ; ‘doubtless she, too, believes me guilty. How can she do otherwise in the face of the evi- dence and my own flight ?’

One day I was met and recognized by an old friend travelling abroad. In- stead. of shunning me, he met me cor- cially.

‘Why have you never returned to visit your old home,’ he asked, ‘or at Jeast communicate with your friends ?’

‘ A strange question,’ Lreplied. ‘You cannot have forgotten the cruel suspi- cien—’

‘Surely you have heard how all that was cleared up—’

‘Cleared up!’ 1 exclaimed, with that tremor of the heart one experiences at 2 sudden gleam of hope which he dreads to see extinguished the next moment.

‘Quite cleared up,’ replied my friend ‘Elnathan Ganche fell a victim to the epidemic last summer, andon his death- bed he acknowledged all.’

‘And Martha Hale ?’

‘Is still single and as beautiful as ever though a trifle melancholy at times. Her friends say there is a cer- tain person whose presence, they think, would cheer her up mightly.’

The next steamer carried me home, where everybody bade me welcome,and Martha not the least warmly. She bas quite explained the mystery of the jailer’s conduct. He had lived asa do- mestic in the family of Martha’s father when he was a child, and was devotedly attached toher. How he and she plot- ted together anent my escapo, it would be a breach of confidence to tell.

PERKINS & SIG

Ch’town, Sept. 30, 1879,

Sanadiad History. The following questions in Canadian His- tery, with ¢ a very interesting article in the las’ number of the Cunadian Spectator, » high class weekly edited by the Rev. A. J. Bray, of Montreal :

Q. Which is the oldest 1Church in Canada.

Ans:—If accepted as ineluding the pre- sent Dominionof Canada,St. Paul’s Church, Halifax, N. S., is undoubtedly the oldest. [t was opened in 1750 under Rev. Mr. Tutty, who came out with the first Protest- ant settlers in the autumn of 1749.

lf the old Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada are taken, then the Church of St. Andrew’s at Berthier-en-haut, L. C., built by the first English Seigneur, Hon. James Cuthbert, in 1786. A Lutheran Church at Williamsburg, U. C., built in 1789, con- secrated in 1790 and called Zion Church; the first pastor was the Rev. Samuel Schwerdfeger.

The oldest at present in use in the St. Gabriel Street Church, in Montreal, which was erected in 1792. Rev. John Young, from Schenectady; N. Y., being the first pastor. :

Q. .Who first suggested a Railway Bridge across the St. Lawrence and took steps to test its possibility ?

Ans.—The late Hon. John Young, in 1847, at public meetings, and also by writ- ings in the newspapers. Fle also advanced the necessary funds to Mr. T. C. Keefer for a survey and plan of the work, and urged its importance on every occasion. The site now occupied by the Victoria Bridge is the one originally selected by M. Keefer. Mr. Martin, C. E., of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad, also made surveys ; his plans were Somewhat altered, and a differ- ent site chosen. ‘Lhe final surveys were made in 1852.

Q. What event rendered memorable to

one man the landing of King William IV. at Newfoundland ? ' Ans.—A riot happening on shore, while Prince William Henry (afterwards William IV.) was at Placentia, as Captain of the ‘* Pegasus,” he went on shore, called a court, acted as surrogate, arrested the ring- leader, and condemned a man to receive 100 lashes ‘The man could only receive 80 lashes, and was to have got the remainder subsequently. Next day the matter was looked intw and it was found that the wrong man had been flogged. Thus he would have great cause to remember the Prince’s visit. This event happened on a Sunday. See Judge Prowse’s Lecture ‘‘ Notes on the History of Newfoundland.”

Q. What was the name of the first Rail- way Company in Canada, and who was the first President ?

Ans.—The Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad. The charter was granted in 1831 (assented to 25th February. 1832 2nd William IV. chap..48); the. road.was com- menced in 1835, and opened for traflic in August, 1836, from Laprairie Railroad, ‘rom the-fact of its.running between these two places. It was run the first year by horses, and in the following year by loco- motives.

Hon. Peter McGill was the first Chair- man of the Company and first President, from its commencement in 1835 ; but Hon. John Molson was the President after its completion.

Q. What is the earliest record of a deed of sale of land on the Island of Montreal, and what was the consideration paid there- for ?

Ans. —There is said to have been a deed granting the Isle of Montreal to the Suspi-

Protestant

sale of tfand on the Island of Montreal is January 4th, 1648, when forty arpents of land were sold by Paul de Chomedy, Sieur de Maisoneuve, first Governor of the Island

(a ploughman.) Its situation was about where St. Anne’s Market now stands. The consideration was paid in 1649, the amount being } sou per acre yearly. A seignioral rent of 10 deniers per annum; a denier tournois was about a penny. [One corres- pondent sas that the ‘‘ consideration was never paid.’’}

Q. What was the name of the first ves- sel with steam power which ascended the Rapids below Montreal ?

Ans. The ‘‘Hercules,” Captain Brush; was the first vessel that with steam power ascended the St. Mary’s current in 1824 (during the season of navigation.) The **Hercules”’ was a tow boat, and on her first trip had the ship Margaret (in ballast) in tow, and ascehded the current without aid.

The Accommodation was the first steamer on the St. Lawrence; she made her first trip from Montreal to Quebec, November 3rd, 1809. The ‘‘ Swiftsure,’ launched in 1811, was the next,followed by the ‘‘Car of Commerce,”’

The new Quebec Government contains three Protestants, three French Catholics and one Irish Catholic, notwithstanding the fact that French Catholics are in an over- whelming majority in the Province. The offices held by Protestants are those of Pro- vincial Treasurer, President of the Legis- lative Council, and Solicitor General.

Cardinal Manning has authorized sub- scriptions to be opened among the Catholic Temperance organizations of Great Britain )for the relief of the distressed population in the south and wes} of Ireland.

Constitutional Catarrh CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman sozs of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

Remedy

T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Str—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your , Circular | saw my case described in many par- \ticulars. The inward ‘“‘drop’ from the head |had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled tosis upin the bed. My health and _ spirits were seriously affected. When your agent caine t) Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before 1 had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured oi that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that lo&th- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, anvelietted, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
